Board discusses dispatch-board composition, tables appointments

Big Horn County Board of County Commissioners · August 13, 2026

Summary

County staff outlined membership for the interlocal dispatch board (sheriff, roads, ambulance, city reps, ex officio members and a county-appointed member); the board agreed to table final appointments and to circulate a draft resolution about terms.

County staff reviewed the dispatch-board structure and recommended membership drawn from the sheriff's department, roads, ambulance, city police/fire, a city appointee and an at-large citizen seat. "You gotta do somebody from the sheriff's department, somebody from roads, somebody from ambulance," staff said while listing seats the county must fill.

Staff noted the interlocal agreement does not specify term lengths and that they had started drafting a resolution that would address terms and grounds for removal; the draft can be circulated to commissioners for review. The board agreed to table final appointments until next week to allow time to consult with agencies and confirm designees.
