Sheridan County approves $9,000 from GPET to fund City of Sheridan spring cleanup
Summary
The Board approved $9,000 from GPET funding to support the City of Sheridan's Spring Cleanup on May 2, 2026, clarifying the assistance covers only unincorporated county residents and discussing funding-source options and reapplication rules for GPET grants.
The Board of County Commissioners approved $9,000 from the GPET fund to support the City of Sheridan’s Spring Cleanup scheduled for May 2, 2026. Administrative Director Cameron Duff estimated the county’s share at about $9,000 based on past expenses; Commissioner Holly Jennings moved to approve the funding and the motion passed unanimously.
Chairwoman Christi Haswell confirmed $5,000 had been budgeted for fall 2025 but the spring event would require additional funding this fiscal year; Duff said options include using general funds or GPET balances. Commissioners clarified the payment covers cleanups for unincorporated county residents only and does not include residents of incorporated towns such as Clearmont, Ranchester, or Dayton unless those municipalities make separate arrangements with the City of Sheridan.
Commissioners also discussed GPET application rules, with Commissioner Jennings opposing limits on reapplications and urging an open process consistent with voter intent in 2022. The Board directed staff to process the spring cleanup funding from GPET and revisit GPET policy questions in future meetings.
