Council approves fence variance, WYOPASS membership and schedules budget workshop
Summary
Diamondville’s council approved a variance for an 8‑foot barbed‑wire fence for Kemmerer Diamondville Water and Waste Water, approved a one‑year WYOPASS membership, finalized the town coin design and elected a WAM voting delegate, and set a budget workshop for April 27.
At its April 20 meeting the Diamondville Town Council approved several routine new‑business items and scheduled a budget workshop.
Councilmember Casey Clark moved and Councilmember Robert Sawaya seconded approval of a variance requested by Kemmerer Diamondville Water and Waste Water to install an 8‑foot fence topped with barbed wire; the motion carried. The transcript records the variance as approved; no conditions or detailed permit terms are included in the minutes.
Councilmember Robert Sawaya moved to approve a one‑year membership to WYOPASS; Councilmember Sherrol Sloan seconded and the motion carried. The governing body reviewed, but took no action on, Ordinance 6.15 (Maintenance of Premises). The council discussed possible updates to Ordinance 10.25.050 (Junk Cars, Trucks, Trailers, and Other Vehicles) and placed that item on a future agenda for more detailed consideration.
In unfinished business the council gave final approval to the Town side of the 250th semiquincentennial coin design, and Councilmember Sherrol Sloan moved to designate Mayor Eric Backman as the Wyoming Association of Municipalities (WAM) voting delegate for the 2026 summer conference; the motion was seconded by Councilmember Nicole Petersen and carried.
Mayor Backman added an agenda item to schedule a Budget Workshop and Councilmember Nicole Petersen moved to set the workshop for April 27 at 5:00 p.m.; Councilmember Sherrol Sloan seconded and the motion passed. Councilmember Sloan also reported an upcoming Freedom Fest planning meeting in May during council comments. The meeting adjourned at 7:46 p.m.
