Diamondville council to ask WYDOT to clarify Highway 30 signs; approves summer‑hire advertisement and reviews patrol vehicle
Summary
A resident raised concerns about confusing signage at the Highway 30 interchange; the council directed the mayor to send a letter to the Wyoming Department of Transportation. The council also approved advertising to hire two summer employees, reviewed a semiquincentennial coloring contest, and requested a patrol‑vehicle bid advertisement.
Resident Rae Ann Komisky told the Diamondville Town Council at its March 2 meeting that signage along the Highway 30 interchange is confusing. Councilmember Sherrol Sloan moved that the council send a letter to the Wyoming Department of Transportation asking for improved signage language; Councilmember Nicole Petersen seconded the motion and the council voted aye.
The council approved advertising to hire two summer employees who must be at least 16 years old, with a start date of June 8, 2026. Councilmember Nicole Petersen moved the hiring advertisement; Councilmember Robert Sawaya seconded and the motion carried. The transcript records starting wages as $15.50 for first‑year employees and $16.00 for returning employees; the meeting record does not specify whether those amounts are per hour or per another pay period—local personnel practice indicates these are hourly wages but the transcript lists the amounts without additional payroll detail.
The council also reviewed plans for a community coloring contest tied to a semiquincentennial grant; the transcript records review only and shows no formal vote on that item. In addition, the governing body reviewed the condition of Officer Thompson’s patrol vehicle and requested that an advertisement for bids be placed on the agenda for the next regular council meeting.
No public comments were recorded during the public‑comment period, and no council comments were recorded before Mayor Eric Backman adjourned the meeting at 7:13 p.m.
