Converse County holds public hearing on proposed FY2027 budget; no public comment recorded
Summary
At a July 20, 2026 special meeting, Converse County commissioners opened a public hearing on the proposed FY2027 budget; the minutes record no written or oral comments and say the budget will be acted on at the regular meeting on July 21, 2026. The special meeting adjourned with no action taken.
Converse County Vice Chairman Rick Grant opened a public hearing on the proposed FY2027 county budget on July 20, 2026, providing an overview of personnel changes, major projects and revisions since the summary budget was published July 8, 2026 in the Douglas Budget and Glenrock Independent. The county’s posted minutes state, "There were no written or public comments in favor or opposition of the proposed budget, which will be acted upon at the regular meeting on July 21, 2026." The hearing was opened at 4:01 p.m. and the record notes it closed at 4:12 p.m.
The special meeting adjourned with no action taken. The minutes list those present as Vice Chairman Rick Grant; Commissioners Robert Short, Trent Kaufman and Donald Blackburn; and County Clerk Karen Rimmer; Chairman James H. Willox was recorded as excused for attendance at a NACo conference. The minutes also include a schedule notice stating a regular meeting "will be held on Tuesday and Wednesday, May 5 and 6, 2026," which conflicts with the July schedule referenced elsewhere in the document and appears to be a clerical error in the published minutes. The minutes indicate they will be published in the Douglas Budget & Glenrock Independent on August 5, 2026. For more information, the minutes direct readers to the County Clerk’s Office or www.conversecountywy.gov.
