Lincoln County commissioners approve multiple subdivision filings and sign federal transportation grant agreements
Summary
The Board of Lincoln County Commissioners on April 7 approved a lengthy consent docket that included multiple subdivision and plat approvals and signed federal transportation agreements (CMAQ and HRRR) requiring county matching funds; motions were adopted with recorded findings and conditions as listed in the minutes.
The Board of Lincoln County Commissioners approved a broad consent docket on April 7, 2021, that included a series of subdivision and plat approvals and execution of federal transportation grant agreements. Chairman King and the board adopted motions approving files including Bridger Forest Ranches (File 407 SS 21), Harmon Subdivision (File 409 SS 21), Good Neighbor Subdivision (File 410 SS 21), Solitude Subdivision amended master plan (File 105 PZ 21 / File 107 PZ 19), White Tail Meadows Second Filing (File 202 MS 21), Renegade 3rd Amended (File 802 AP 21), Auburn Townsite Block 6 Second Filing (File 803 AP 21), Star Valley Ranch RV Park Plat 5 Stage 2 (File 702 PZ 21), Solitude Phase III (File 703 PZ 21), Ridges at Star Valley 5th Filing (File 206 MS 18) and Ridge View Estates Second Filing (File 701 PZ 21). The motions were presented with findings and conditions of approval where noted in the record.
The board also signed agreements for two federal transportation programs. The minutes record the Agreement for FY2021 Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Project (CMAQ), CM21303, described in the motion as receiving $220,000 in federal award with a $55,000 county match, and the FY2021 High Risk Rural Road Project (HRRR), HR21302, described as receiving $99,539 in federal award with a $10,461 county match. During an agency update, County Engineer Amy Butler referenced CMAQ and HRRRP FY2021 funds and WYDOT acceptance certificates; the minutes contain a separate note in SEG 006 that lists CMAQ federal funds as $275,000 with a $55,000 county match, a discrepancy noted in the meeting minutes (see clarifying details).
Commissioners also approved acceptance certificates for WYDOT projects and a final acceptance certificate for a Transportation Alternative Master Plan for Cokeville. The motions were recorded as adopted; the minutes do not include a roll-call vote tally for each item, only the mover and the recorded adoption.
Why it matters: The approvals clear multiple plats and development filings that allow building and property transfers to move forward under the listed conditions, while the federal transportation agreements bring state and federal resources that require county matching funds. Those funds will support road and air-quality-related projects in Lincoln County.
Next steps: The minutes show execution of the grant agreements and acceptance certificates; implementation steps and construction timelines are not specified in the minutes and will depend on WYDOT and project sponsors.
