Commissioners approve claims, minutes, sanitarian contract and capital‑plan scope

The Big Horn County Board of County Commissioners approved routine claims and minutes and ratified a sanitarian services contract during its May meeting. Chair (S1) called for ayes after motions were made and seconds recorded for each item; each motion passed on a voice vote.

“The claims are approved,” Chair (S1) said after the board heard the motion to approve claims 13‑05 and 13‑06. Commissioners also moved to approve the minutes for 05/21/2026 and related May minutes. For old business, the board approved a sanitarian services contract that staff confirmed had been reviewed and signed.

The board also moved to accept a scope of work from Staley Engineering and Associates for a comprehensive capital-improvement plan and noted the county was awarded a $30,000 grant with a $6,000 local match. Separately, commissioners moved to advance approval of a proposed radio-tower lease; staff and a consultant said landowner consents are in hand and they are awaiting a recorded survey and an environmental review before finalizing the lease paperwork.
