Predator Management District outlines operations, commissioners approve funding increase
Summary
The Fremont County Predator Management District presented its annual report, noting 972 agricultural operators in the county and requesting county support; commissioners recorded a funding action that provided $10,000 (district requested $7,500).
Representatives of the Fremont County Predator Management District presented the board with their annual report, a preliminary budget and a request for county support. Rob Cross, the district chairman, summarized services (fixed-wing and helicopter support, trapping, raven control and producer-funded bounties) and emphasized agriculture’s economic contribution to the county.
“We have 972 operators in our county… We contribute $98,000,000 to the economy every year in this county,” Cross said while describing the district’s workload and funding sources. The district asked the commission for $7,500 in support; commissioners discussed the request and moved to provide $10,000, recording that in the meeting file. Board members also discussed reserve goals and statewide funding pressures.
The board thanked the district for its service and confirmed the public hearing schedule for the district’s budget work tomorrow; staff will publish the district’s public hearing information as requested.
