The Niobrara County Commissioners’ meeting was called to order on this date at 9:00 a.m. with Chairman Richard A. Ladwig, Commissioners Patrick H. Wade, John Midkiff and County Clerk Becky L. Freeman, present. County Attorney- Cally Lund, County Attorney, met with the Commissioners and discussed county business. The group discussed the bill received from Jordan Towing for work he did during the flood with no authorization from the County. Cally said that absent a meeting, she didn’t think any one commissioner could act on behalf of the County. Executive Session- John moved to enter into Executive Session at 9:06 a.m. to discuss potential litigation. Pat seconded, motion carried. Pat moved to reconvene the regular session at 9:16 a.m. John seconded, motion carried. No action was taken. Cally then submitted a draft provision for the Brown Pit. Fred Thomas, Road and Bridge Foreman, joined the meeting. Pat asked if maybe we should check with other pit owners and do some kind of agreements with them regarding the use of their pits. Fred said that we own the permits on those pits but we would need to do an agreement on Dave Thomson’s pit. The group then discussed the preliminary agreement for event insurance for rental of the fair grounds. They discussed the need for a form explaining that vendors need insurance. Road & Bridge –Fred discussed road and bridge business. He said the headwalls on 28 Road are done. There is some cleanup, fencing and removal of equipment to be done and then Hout is done with the project. The week prior, Fred used the new tractor at the fairgrounds to work the arena and it performed very well. He is very pleased with it. Lance Creek Bridge- He said that the contractors on this project will try to pour concrete the first week in May. It needs to sit for ten days and then they will try to open the bridge by the third week in May, weather permitting. Fred said the temporary bridge is holding up pretty well and he plans on pulling it the second week of May, dependent on work done on the Lance Creek Bridge. Fred said that a landowner installed a new auto gate on Divide Road without his authorization. He said he will visit with them regarding this matter. Richard discussed the County Road Fund (CRF) and how those funds can be used. Historically, some funds have been transferred from the CRF to General County to assist with the purchasing new equipment for Road & Bridge. Richard said that this will be a topic of discussion at the upcoming Commissioners’ Association meeting in May to hopefully clarify the matter. Fred said his budget would allow for a down payment this fiscal year for a blade instead of waiting for next year to do it. Consent Agenda- Pat moved to approve the consent agenda. John seconded, motion carried. Items included on the consent agenda were the minutes of the April 4, 2017 meeting and receipts from the Clerk of District Court for the month of March for $453.50. Alsco Service Rental Agreement- John moved to approve the agreement with Alsco for shop towels and coverall rentals. Pat seconded, motion carried. Wildland Fire Operating Plan- John moved to sign the plan. Pat seconded, motion carried. Emergency Management- James Santistevan, Emergency Management Coordinator, met with the Commissioners and discussed emergency management operations. He said that the Crook County Emergency Management Coordinator had quit so he would be offering his assistance if they need it. There being no further business, Richard adjourned the regular meeting at 1:30 p.m. to hold a Local Emergency Planning Committee meeting. NIOBRARA COUNTY COMMISSIONERS Richard A.

The Niobrara County Commissioners’ meeting was called to order on this date at 9:03 a.m. with Chairman Richard A. Ladwig, Commissioners Patrick H. Wade, John Midkiff and County Clerk Becky L. Freeman, present. Public Health Nurse- Sally Myer, Niobrara Public Health Nurse, met with the Commissioners to discuss letting WIC use her office one day a month. WIC is currently meeting in the Senior Center, but they feel that there isn’t enough privacy there. Sally said she works four days a week and WIC could use the office one day a month. The Commissioners did not have a problem with it and she said she would touch base with the hospital to see if they were in agreement. Road & Bridge –Road & Bridge Foreman Fred Thomas met with the Commissioners and discussed road and bridge business. He submitted an agreement between Wallace Henry Smyth and Niobrara County granting us permission to access the Wasserburger gravel pit. Brown Pit- Lee Brown met with the Commissioners and Fred to discuss his pit and his interest in expanding the pit by adding an additional three to five acres. Lee owns the permit on the pit and historically there has been a verbal agreement that the County can use gravel from that pit at no charge as long as it is placed on roads in that area. The expansion of the pit costs $2,000/acre (for bonding purposes as it relates to reclamation expenses) and it was initially discussed that the County would be the primary entity on the permit, however, that essentially requires a new pit being established which includes archeological studies to be conducted and a lot of money being invested. An alternate thought was for the County to be listed on the permit along with Lee, but according to a conversation between Lee and Rich Vincent with DEQ, that cannot happen. Fred asked if there was a way that the County could enter into an agreement with the Browns spelling out the existing verbal agreement and pay approximately $8,000 to expand the pit. The County would be responsible for maintenance and reclamation of the pit. The Commissioners asked Lee to come back at 1:30 to visit with the County Attorney about this matter. BenchMark of Torrington- Brian Wakefield met with the Commissioners and Fred to discuss the 2016 Road Rehab Project. Richard asked about substantial completion of a project and when that can occur. Brian explained that when the project is completed enough so that everything functions the way it is supposed to and all they have to do is cleanup, then it could be considered substantially completed and the 41 day advertising period for the final payment of the retention could begin. Brian said that all they really have to do is reshape the road and they are done. Fred said that the parking lot at the hospital is done. He said it took 12 loads of gravel and he couldn’t lower the curb line like he wanted because of utilities. He said Jim Tangney gave his approval of the work done on the parking lot. Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) - Pat moved to approve the MOU between Wallace Henry Smith and Niobrara County acknowledging access granted to the County by Smyth off Redbird Road #11 to access the Wasserburger Pit. John seconded, motion carried. County Attorney-Anne Wasserburger, Attorney for the Niobrara Hospital District, and Doyle J. Davies, Deputy County Attorney, met with the Commissioners to discuss an MOU between the Niobrara Community Hospital and Niobrara County, setting forth the terms and conditions by which the County shall lease the “I T” building for use as a public health office. The lease is for three years at $1.00 per year. The Commissioners mentioned the conversation held with the public health nurse regarding WIC using her office one day a month. Anne said she would visit with the Hospital Board regarding this matter and get back to the Commissioners. She also discussed parcels of land located in Van Tassell that an individual wanted to give to the County. It was the only property his mother owned and he doesn’t want to probate her estate. The Commissioners thought it might be better for someone else to have the property. Emergency Management- James Santistevan, Emergency Management Coordinator, met with the Commissioners and discussed emergency management operations. He said he has submitted the Emergency Operation Plan (EOP) and the State reviewed it and suggested minor revisions. He also said he would have the have the THIRA plan updated by September 1, 2017 and will most likely use the eclipse as an event for this plan. He discussed the IPAWS tool which provides public safety officials with an effective way to alert and warn the public about serious emergencies using the Emergency Alert System (EAS), Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Weather Radio, and other public alerting systems from a single interface. He also discussed the WYOLINK program and costs the counties will be incurring in the future and concerns regarding those costs. He said he went to fairgrounds and schools and looked at floor plans for emergency shelters, and said that one downfall is that while the fairgrounds has an emergency generator, the schools do not. He said that work is being done on a regional hazard mitigation plan, which is due by 2018. Elected Officials and Dept. Heads-The elected officials and department heads gave department updates. Rick Zerbe, Sheriff, said that it is business as usual. He discussed a meeting he had with a livestock board investigator and that his office will be picking up more of those investigations due to decreased numbers of investigators. He also discussed patrols and vehicle problems. Teri Stephens, Assessor, said that notice of valuations are going out Friday, her office is receiving declarations of personal property, and they are preparing to begin property reviews this summer. Kayla Courtright, Clerk of District Court, said that her office is staying busy sending out juror questionnaires. She didn’t think there would be any trials scheduled right away. In June she will be hosting the Clerks of District Court Association meetings. Denise Smith, UW Extension Educator, said they are busy getting ready for the Foods Expo and Real Foods five week class. She said that Chrisanna is working on things for the upcoming fair. Denise mentioned that the floor in the kitchen is sinking and presented a bid for a company to come in and pump concrete beneath the floor to level it back up. She also said that due to budget cuts at the State level, there will not be UW student working for them this summer. James Santistevan, Emergency Management Coordinator, discussed his plan to tour the high school and grade school with Sally Myer, Public Health Nurse, to evaluate facilities for medical and non-medical sheltering. He also discussed grants, communications, weather spotting classes and eclipse related matters. Becky Freeman discussed a quote she received from Laramie Range Water Treatment and Plumbing, LLC., regarding water dispensers for the courthouse. Pat said he didn’t know if it was worth the expense to fix the kitchen floor right now as the settling is not that bad and is something that has occurred over the life of the building. He said it would make sense to seal the crack to eliminate drafts and insects. Pat said that he had visited with fair board member Corky Fosher and he was in agreement to seal the crack as well. County Attorney- Lee and Vikki Brown and Deputy County Attorney Doyle J. Davies met with the Commissioners to continue discussions on pit business. The group updated Doyle on the previous conservation and said that the Brown Pit, from which the County has mined pit run gravel, needs to be enlarged. They told him that to enlarge the pit, DEQ requires a bond in the amount of $2,000/acre. The Browns own the pit permit, but the County uses most of the gravel from it. The Commissioners and Fred thought that is wasn’t fair to the Browns to have to pay for the expansion of the pit and the County using the gravel at no cost. One idea to help alleviate the cost of the expansion was to be co-permittees with the Browns on the permit. However, that is not an option according to DEQ. It was also suggested that the County be the primary permittee, but that would require a new pit application. Doyle suggested that the County enter into an agreement with the Browns, with terms laid out as stated above. Essentially, the County wouldn’t lose any money because when the pit is reclaimed, the bond would be returned. The question was asked if the County could put up the bond for a private pit. Doyle says yes, because we are benefitting from it and if the owner were to benefit a bit, it could be considered a de minimus charge. Vikki asked for a certificate of insurance from our provider, but Doyle said that it would be put in agreement that we indemnify the Browns in the event of adverse actions on our behalf. We will submit something to the DEQ and see what they say. The Commissioners thanked the Browns for their continued support. Doyle presented a rough draft for the event insurance requirements for the Commissioners review. Doyle and the Commissioners then discussed the Long Term Recovery Manager Position and paperwork required. Executive Session- Pat moved to enter into Executive Session at 2:12 p.m. with Deputy County Attorney Doyle J. Davies to discuss personnel matters. John seconded, motion carried. Pat moved to reconvene the regular session at 2:23 p.m. John seconded, motion carried. No action was taken. Consent Agenda- Pat moved to approve the consent agenda. John seconded, motion carried. Items included on the agenda were minutes of the March 21, 2017 meeting and receipts for the month of March from the County Clerk for $4,671.75, from the Sheriff for $415.00 and from the Public Health Nurse for $15.00. Petition to Cross County Road- John moved to approve the Order authorizing D. C. Drilling to bore under Old Highway 20. Discussion: Pat asked if a company had the authority to apply or if it had to be the landowner. Richard said he thought it was okay if the company applied as petitioner because the contract holds the petitioner accountable. Pat seconded, motion carried. The Hospital lease was laid back until the next meeting for clarification regarding whether or not WIC could use the Public Health Nurse office for one day a month.

PUBLIC NOTICE The Niobrara County Commissioners’ meeting was called to order on this date at 9:03 a.m. with Chairman Richard A. Ladwig, Vice-Chairman Patrick H. Wade, Commissioner John Midkiff and County Clerk Becky L. Freeman, present. Road & Bridge- Brian Wakefield, Engineer with BenchMark of Torrington, met with the Commissioners and Road & Bridge Foreman Fred Thomas to discuss the 2016 Road Rehabilitation Project. The group discussed the conditions of the roads that have been improved to date and areas that need more work. Fred said that the headwalls on 28 Road are not done yet, but the plan is for the contractor to complete all the road work relating to the contract before moving equipment to begin that work. Brian presented a revised change order for road work that was done on Greasewood and Redbird Roads. This clarifies the original change order which only mentioned work done on Greasewood Road. Fred then discussed the parking lot that Road & Bridge will build for the hospital. He said he can dedicate the time to do the prep work and gravel, but recommended having the base put in and then pave or concrete it right away, thereby alleviating the need to redo any of the pre-paving work if the contractor were to come in and want changes. Pat said that all the hospital asked for the county to do was build it up and gravel it. Fred asked the Commissioners to talk to the Board and figure out what they want done, and if they decide to not pave right away, he can go back in and lay more gravel if needed. Fred then discussed gravel pits and equipment. He said that Wyoming Machinery had left a CAT 140F blade for the crew to demo for a week. He said the cost is $231,456 and he discussed lease purchasing options. He said that getting a blade is his priority and that he would prefer to not trade in anything if at all possible. County Attorney- Cally Lund, County Attorney, met with the Commissioners and discussed county business. Cally said that she and Pat had discussed a plan for fairground usage and insurance requirements. She has copies of other counties’ procedures and said that ultimately she would like to have facility users come in and fill out an application/contract. She said she wants facility users to have liability insurance and have a signed contract for governmental immunity and to indemnify us. The group continued discussions and decided to have a phone conference with the County’s liability insurance provider at the next meeting. Wyoming Child & Family Development (WCFD) - Martha Bridge, Lusk Center Coordinator and Twila Barnette, WCFD chairperson/board member, met with the Commissioners to discuss the program, update them on the children they serve, services they provide for these children, submit their annual funding request and present a plaque to the Commissioners made by children from WCFD in Lusk. Elected Officials and Dept. Heads- The elected officials and department heads gave department updates. Teri Stephens, Assessor, said her office is working on declarations. She also said she has signed the agreement with Master’s Touch for bulk mailing. Keri Thompson, Treasurer, discussed legislative items of interest and said that there is approximately $65,000 left to collect on the 2012 1% SPET tax. Kayla Courtright, Clerk of District Court, said that her office is staying busy sending out juror questionnaires for the new year. Denise Smith, UW Extension Educator, said the replacement of ceiling tiles in the auditorium is done. She inquired about the eclipse and whether or not to have Proper Care begin ordering bulk supplies. The Commissioners thought it best to hold off for now and see how the budget is towards the end of the fiscal year. She also asked about event insurance and the Commissioners said it is being worked on. James Santistevan, Emergency Management Coordinator, discussed his plan to tour the high school and grade school with Sally Myer, Public Health Nurse, to evaluate facilities for medical and non-medical sheltering. He also discussed grants, communications, weather spotting classes and eclipse related matters. County Coroner- Pete Pier, County Coroner, met with the Commissioners to discuss the coroner vehicle. Pete said that he will use the vehicle with the current topper and will be ordering a magnetic lock to install to secure the cot during transport. Richard suggested getting a steel plate installed in the bed of the truck to further strengthen it. Pete also volunteered the coroner vehicle to be used for Search and Rescue if the need arises and the vehicle is available. John moved to transfer the 2007 Ford Expedition to the Hospital District. Pat seconded, motion carried. WY Child & Family Development- Pat moved to approve the funding request of $1,000.00 and a property tax waiver for the FY18 budget. John seconded, motion carried. Consent Agenda- Pat moved to approve the consent agenda. John seconded, motion carried. Items included on the consent agenda were the minutes of the February 21, 2017 meeting and receipts for the month of February from the County Clerk for $4,236.25 from the Sheriff for $1,646.02, and from the Clerk of Court for $545.00.

PUBLIC NOTICE The Niobrara County Commissioners’ meeting was called to order on this date at 9:03 a.m. with Chairman Richard A. Ladwig, Commissioners Patrick H. Wade, John Midkiff and County Clerk Becky L. Freeman, present. Hospital Update- Mark Groh, Hospital Board member, Chris Smolik, CEO and Jim Tangney, Facility Manager met with the Commissioners and discussed hospital business. The hospital asked if the County would consider donating one of the sheriff’s vehicles that will be sold. The Commissioners said that the sheriff plans on selling two Ford Explorers. The hospital did not think these vehicles would be large enough, however, they would look at them. They said they thought they needed a larger vehicle because they take medical waste to Casper a couple of times a month, deliver laundry to the Wyoming Women’s’ Center and take lab samples to Douglas or Casper. The group then discussed the parking lot that they would like road and bridge to help build. According to Chris Smolik, the size of the parking lot will be approximately one lot. He said he visited with Fred about doing the work and Fred said he didn’t see a problem with doing it, but said it was up to the Commissioners to decide what to do. The Commissioners said they would direct road and bridge to work on this. They then discussed the financial status of the hospital and other business. County Attorney- Cally Lund, County Attorney, met with the Commissioners via a phone conference to discuss county business. Cally briefed the Commissioners on the request from Special Prosecutor Nate Hibben to appoint Christyne Martens and Katie Adams from the Attorney General’s office, as substitute special prosecutors in the matter of Lisa Mellott because the special prosecutor originally appointed to the case has left the Attorney General’s office and Mellott has filed an appeal, and there remains some work to be done in the district court prior to the Supreme Court addressing the issue. Event Insurance- The Commissioners asked Cally about event insurance at the fairgrounds. The eclipse activities are being held at the fairgrounds and hosted by the Chamber of Commerce and the County’s liability insurance provider said that since the County is not hosting the event, the sponsoring entity needs to provide insurance. Cally said she will talk to Bill Miller with the Local Government Liability Pool for further information and report back to the Commissioners. Pat said that the fair board had concerns over possible damages to the buildings as a result of the eclipse events and the potentially large numbers of people who will be attending. Pat mentioned a conversation he had with a local landowner regarding the recent eclipse meeting and the fact that the Sheriff was not in attendance. Pat later found out that an issue had arisen preventing the Sheriff from attending the meeting. The landowner said they would like to have a meeting with other landowners and the sheriff to iron out what they can and cannot do in regards to protecting their land during the eclipse weekend. Pat asked Cally to attend the upcoming meeting and she voiced concerns about people misconstruing her comments as legal advice. Richard said he had been contacted by the same individual regarding the matter. Public Health Nurse- Sally Myer, Public Health Nurse, met with the Commissioners and discussed public health business. She said she has handed out some pamphlets to let people know she is available and that she has seen some people. Richard brought up concerns over people having to make appointments vs. having regular hours. She said that she might have a conflict that would interfere with her posted hours if she had to attend a meeting out of town. She said is working on the emergency response plan and will be meeting next week with the school, prison and hospital to be closed points of dispensing vaccinations (PODs) for their select groups in the event of a disaster and the need for mass vaccinations because these entities have their own nurses on staff that could administer the vaccines. She will draft Letters of Concurrence with each entity spelling out their obligations and responsibilities. She said that there would also be a POD for the County employees as well as a separate POD for public vaccinations located at the fairgrounds. Visionary Communications- Chantry Filener, Teri Stephens, Keri Thompson, Sally Myer, Kelly Dean and Rick Zerbe met with the Commissioners and held a phone conference with Brian Murphy of Visionary Communications to discuss the logistics of changing to Visionary Communications as the internet service provider for the courthouse and sheriff’s office. The group discussed fees, upload/download speeds and redundancy. Pat moved to move forward with Visionary Communications as the internet service provider for the above entities. John seconded. Motion carried. Consent Agenda- John moved to approve the consent agenda. Pat seconded, motion carried. Items included on the consent agenda were the minutes of the February 7, 2016 meeting, receipts from the Public Health Nurse for 1/17/17 – 2/17/17 for $73.00 and a notification from the State Dept. of Revenue notifying the Commissioners that all entities with the ability to levy a mill were in compliance with their rules and regulations. Appointment of Special Prosecutor- Upon the recommendation of County Attorney Cally Lund, Pat moved to appoint Christyne Martens and Katie Adams from the Attorney General’s Office, to serve as assistant special prosecutors in the Mellott appeal. John seconded, motion carried. Nate Hibben will continue to be the special prosecutor. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned. NIOBRARA COUNTY COMMISSIONERS Richard A.

PUBLIC NOTICE The Niobrara County Commissioners’ meeting was called to order on this date at 9:00 a.m. with Chairman Richard A. Ladwig, Commissioners Patrick H. Wade, John Midkiff and County Clerk Becky L. Freeman present. Road and Bridge- Fred Thomas, Road and Bridge Foreman, met with the Commissioners and discussed road and bridge business. He said that Hout Fencing has completed Greasewood Road and will move on to work on the culvert headwalls on 28 Road next, once it warms up. He also updated the Commissioners on the Lance Creek Bridge Replacement project. He said that so far all of the abutments and columns have been poured on the south side and that the contractor is starting to work on north columns and abutments. BenchMark of Torrington- Brian Wakefield, engineer with BenchMark of Torrington, met with the Commissioners and discussed the 2016 Road Rehab Project. He said that they will go and drive Greasewood Road to review the work done so far. Fred said it appears that the project is moving along nicely. The contractor is on target with his gravel usage and the local residents appear to be pleased with the work done so far. Pat mentioned that the top of Cheyenne River Road was in rough condition when he drove it. He talked to Carolyn Johnson after the road had been bladed and she was pleased with the work that had been done. Richard said he had heard some concerns over 20 Mile Road. Fred said they had bladed it and will take another look. Fred said that there is still frost in the ground and that makes it hard to cutout the washboards. County Attorney- County Attorney Cally Lund met with the Commissioners via a phone conference and discussed county business. She said that the fire district had contacted her regarding their new building and issues they are having with the fire marshal. The building plans were engineered by Baker and Associates but it appears that plans were not submitted to the fire marshal for review and approval prior to construction beginning. Cally told the district to shut down construction until an engineer can correct the list of errors found by the fire marshal. She also discussed a conversation she had with the Janet Miller of the Economic Development Administration regarding an employment contract for the Local Disaster Recovery Manager. She explained that the county doesn’t use contracts as the Recovery Coordinator will be an employee of Niobrara County rather than a contractual position. Cally said she would draft an agreement similar to the Public Health Officer’s contract with the State and Ms. Miller was in agreement with that. The group also discussed a scheduled meeting with representatives from Trihydro regarding the Phillips 66 Voluntary Remediation Program at the former Lance Creek Crude Oil Gathering Station and the request from Decker’s Food Marker to use county property by the sheriff’s garage to install a heating/cooling unit. Eclipse Meeting- Jackie Bredthauer, Candy Dooper, Brenda Phipps and Sheriff Rick Zerbe met with the Commissioners to discuss the upcoming eclipse and plans for the event. The group discussed event insurance, security, and emergency services requirements. Elected Officials & Dept. Heads- Rick Zerbe, Sheriff, Teri Stephens, Assessor, Keri Thompson, Treasurer and Kelli Chichester, 4-H Educator, met with the Commissioners and discussed office operations. Rick said they are still having troubles with the generator and will talk with Valley Plumbing to have them do an assessment of line. Rick said that every time the furnace kicks on, the generator shuts down. He said that they are able to keep the generator that Homeland Security lent them as long as it is needed. Teri said her office is busy working towards getting assessment notices sent out. Keri said the focus of her office has shifted from property tax collections to issuing new license plates. She also discussed legislative bills of interest. Kelli said the office is starting to work on fair preparations. The group also discussed Visionary Communication’s proposal to provide internet redundancy. It was decided to have all parties meet at the next Commissioner meeting to discuss this. The Assessor and Treasurer remained after the meeting to discuss a bulk mailing system they would like to purchase to aid in the mailing of tax notices and assessments. The Commissioners authorized them to purchase the Master’s Touch bulk mailing system. Emergency Management- James Santistevan, Emergency Mgmt. Coordinator, met with the Commissioners and updated them on emergency management business. He said it has been busy. He also said he has been working with Public Health Nurse Sally Myer regarding sheltering for medical and non-medical matters. He also discussed the tier two reporting. He said that the State has given him authorization to allow someone else to have access to the reporting on oil wells and hazardous materials. He is going to ask that the fire chief have access to this info. John asked about weather spotters and James said that he is one as well as James Meng, Judy Hanzlik and sheriff’s office. The group talked about the possibility of declaring a fire ban during the eclipse activities. TriHydro Presentation- Joey Waldmann and Ali Tavelli with TriHydro, met with the Commissioners and gave a presentation regarding the cleanup of Phillips66 Former Lance Creek Station. Also in attendance were James Kruse and Justen Miller, interested parties and landowners/lessees, and Heidi Sturman and Lisa Shaw, representing the Conservation District. Trihydro Corporation is Phillips 66 (P66) engineering consultant for the cleanup activities at the former crude oil gathering station located in West Lance Creek, Niobrara County. The Former Lance Creek Station property was used as a crude oil gathering station from 1938 to 2003, and encompasses approximately 23.60 acres. The property is located at 293 Twenty Mile Road, West Lance Creek in Niobrara County. Cleanup is currently under the auspices of the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (WDEQ) Voluntary Remediation Program (VRP). The station was dismantled in 2003 and 2004. The VRP was established in 2000 by the Wyoming legislature to provide an alternative process for encouraging more timely and efficient cleanups of contaminated sites. Participation in the VRP is voluntary. P66 opted to participate in the VRP because it is a more flexible, risk-based clean-up process than the prior clean-up program established under the Wyoming Environmental Quality Act. Another important reason why P66 opted to conduct this environmental cleanup work under the VRP is because it allows the use of a Use Control Area, or UCA. A UCA is a legally enforceable form of property use restriction that is only available under the VRP. WS 35-11-1609(a) allows a UCA to “establish long-term restrictions on the use of the site.” WS 35-11-1609(f) provides the legal mechanism whereby the restrictions in a UCA become enforceable by the issuing governmental entity. Although similar to zoning, a UCA is unique in that the restrictions imposed are in perpetuity or until such time that the WDEQ concurs that conditions on the property can support any use. At this site, the UCA will form a part of a more comprehensive remedy to achieve continued compliance [with environmental cleanup regulations] and protect human health and the environment. While other forms of institutional controls to limit future site use are possible options for inclusion within the comprehensive remedy, as a newer law, the UCA is considered to be the most readily enforceable form of institutional control. The Process for Establishing a UCA The following steps are required in WS 35-11-1609 for establishing a UCA. 1. P66 shall petition Niobrara County for the creation of a UCA (WS 35-11-1609(a)). The petition must contain the “data, information and any remedy options” (WS 35-11-1609(c)) that were identified as necessary to support a final remedy selection. 2. Following submission of the petition, P66 will provide public notice of the petition and a public hearing by writing to all contiguous landowners and by publishing notice once per week for four consecutive weeks in the local newspaper (35-11-1609(d)). 3. The public hearing may be held no sooner than 30 days after the first notice is published in the newspaper (35-11-1609(d)). 4. After the public hearing but within 180 days after the petition is received, Niobrara County shall vote on the petition using a simple majority decision criterion (35-11-1609(e)). The Commissioners took this information under advisement. Danny and Jeremiah Decker met with the Commissioners to discuss avenues for housing a heating and cooling unit on county property. Danny said that the unit they are proposing is too heavy for their roof and they would like to install it on the south side of Deckers. There is 15’ between the Sheriff’s garage and Decker’s. The unit would be 6’x 9’ and would be elevated to help with drainage. They aren’t up against a deadline so a summer timeline would work. Pat had a concern about the publics’ perception of a private enterprise using county property. The Commissioners will ask the County Attorney to review this matter and they will get back to the Deckers. County Coroner- Peter W. Pier met with the Commissioners to update them on the coroner’s office. He said that there were a few cases which were unresolved when he took office, but he is working on resolving them. He also discussed the interment of skeletal remains of three individuals which had been dug up several years ago west of town. He was going to send them to the anthropology department at UW, but decided to bury them in the cemetery. The Town of Lusk donated the burial spaces and labor. He also discussed missing equipment and that he and Cory Wilcox are registered to take classes at the Law Enforcement Academy. He said the coroner’s vehicle hail damage has been repaired but the topper is not fixed. Lastly, he said he disposed of all the property in which he could not identify the owners. The rest was sent to families. He also disposed of all the medicine stored over there. Consent Agenda- Pat moved to approve the consent agenda. John seconded, motion carried. Items included on the consent agenda were the minutes of the January 17, 2017 meeting, a Notice of Valuation Change for L & J Operating, Inc. from the 2015 tax year resulting in an increase of total taxes of $1,455.81, and receipts and expenditures for the month of January from the County Clerk for $4,390.00, from the Sheriff for $1,975.00, and from the Clerk of Court for $785.00.

PUBLIC NOTICE The Niobrara County Commissioners’ meeting was called to order on this date at 9:00 a.m. with Chairman Richard A. Ladwig, Commissioners Greg B. Starck, Patrick H. Wade, and County Clerk Becky L. Freeman present. Commissioner-elect John Midkiff was also in attendance. Road and Bridge- Corky Fosher, Fair board member, met with the Commissioners and Fred Thomas, Road and Bridge Foreman, to continue discussions on purchasing a new tractor. Fred had information on a 2005 John Deere 5325 for $25,000.00 from Schmidt Sales. This tractor would be sufficient in horsepower and size to handle the arena grooming. Pat moved to trade the Ford Bi-Directional tractor for $18,000.00 for the JD 5325 with the fair board paying the $7,000.00 balance due. Greg seconded, motion carried. Fred then discussed the 2016 Road Rehabilitation Project. He said that Hout Fencing has the Walker Road gravel done but needs to do some cleanup. Fred said he has notified EMS, NEA and other first responders about the Lance Creek Bridge being out. There is a temporary bridge set up at the 43 Ranch. He also said that the contractor wrote a letter stating he would do another mile of dirt work and graveling using rock from the Wasserburger Pit. They would gravel a mile on Redbird Road. Fred will forward this onto the engineers so a change order can be drawn up. Fred discussed the Lance Creek Bridge Replacement project and said that the dirt contractor has been shut down, but the deck is being removed and the pilings will be driven. They discussed the 6th penny tax and some potential projects that could be placed on the ballot. There were discussions about roads, but Greg thought that a blade might be a better idea. Dan Pannett met with the Commissioners to address concerns he had regarding the boiler in the courthouse. He said that in the past, he has been flushing the boiler once a week and things were okay, but now he is having to do it three to four times a week and the water is not remaining clear. Valley Plumbing did some maintenance on the boiler but that has not corrected the problem of brine and mineral build up. Dan said that he spoke with Bob from Valley Plumbing and they discussed treatment plans. The water softener is not working and that might be part of the problem with buildup and that a new one might help with the boiler problem. Chris Smolik, Hospital Administrator, Jim Tangney, Facility Director and Mark Groh, Hospital Board Member, met with the Commissioners to discuss the Helipad issue. The hospital needs to relocate its helipad and wondered if the Road and Bridge Department could help with constructing a new parking area since the hospital doesn’t have the ability to construct a parking lot. The helicopter will land on the west side of the hospital instead of the east side, because duplexes are being built on the east side. County Attorney- Doyle J. Davies, Deputy County Attorney, met with the Commissioners and discussed county business. He said that there is a bit of things going on in the criminal side. The group discussed building a senior housing complex using 6th penny funding. Consent Agenda-Greg moved to approve the Consent Agenda. Pat seconded, motion carried. Items included on the consent agenda were the minutes of the December 6, 2016 meeting. Resolution 16-12 - Greg moved to approve RESOLUTION NO. 16-12 A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE OFFICIAL HOLIDAYS FOR COUNTY EMPLOYEES FOR THE YEAR 2017.

Freeman, Clerk Public Health Cash & Fund Handling Policy - Sally Myer, Niobrara County Public Health Nurse, met with the Commissioners and discussed the guidelines on accounting for funds received from clients. She will do weekly deposits and then transmit those funds to the treasurer. There will be no petty cash funds. Greg moved to approve the Public Health Cash & Fund Handling Policy. Pat seconded, motion carried. She said she is still training on immunizations and MCH visits and will be working with the Emergency Preparedness Coordinators in Crook and Weston Counties to make sure all plans are in place. Patti Cobb, with Solutions for Life, met with the Commissioners to update them on how the agency is doing. Jim Kremers, Doyle J. Davies, Keri Thompson, Dale Hytrek met with the Commissioners and to discuss 6th penny projects. The group discussed a senior living/independent living project. Dale thinks that if enough money is raised to build it, it would be sustainable. They would have approximately ten units and it would be located behind the Senior Center. Pat asked who would own the building and who would run it. There are still many questions that need to be addressed and the group needs to visit with Todd Bishop to develop a plan. Dan Pannett stopped in and gave a quote for a new water softener, an E3 Hellen brand water system. Installed it is $1,175.00, but he didn’t know about removal. The Commissioners approved the purchase of an E3 Hellen Brand Water Softener. Corky Fosher stopped back in to visit with the Commissioners about the Shooting Sports building. He inquired about getting approval for the Friends of the NRA to apply for a grant do construction for an overhead door in the yellow barn and to build a wall to separate their shooting sports equipment storage from the electrical breaker box. Greg moved to authorize the 4-H Shooting Sports to modify the Multi-purpose shooting Sports Complex storage room and install an overhead in the yellow barn at the fairgrounds. Pat seconded, motion carried. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned. NIOBRARA COUNTY COMMISSIONERS Richard A. Ladwig, Chairman Attest: Becky L.

PUBLIC NOTICE Legal Notice PUBLIC NOTICE TO QUALIFIED HOMEBUYERS AND HOMEOWNERS WYOMING COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY 2016 MORTGAGE CREDIT CERTIFICATE PROGRAM The Wyoming Community Development Authority ("WCDA") is proposing to implement a program for Mortgage Credit Certificates ("MCCs") in Wyoming (the "2016 MCC Program"). MCCs are federal income tax credits issued to qualified taxpayers in Wyoming who borrow money to purchase (both new and existing residences), improve or rehabilitate their primary residences. The recipient of an MCC may apply the tax credit against his or her yearly federal tax liability to subsidize the loan. No sooner than 90 days following this Notice, WCDA intends to begin issuing MCCs to qualified taxpayers in Wyoming according to the guidelines noted below. Purchasers of newly-constructed or existing single-family residences in Wyoming or homeowners incurring qualified home improvement loans or qualified rehabilitation loans relating to their primary residences located in Wyoming may apply for an MCC through participating lenders when they apply for financing from the lender for one of these eligible purposes. An MCC cannot be issued in connection with a mortgage loan that refinances or pays off an existing mortgage or land contract (except for certain construction period and temporary loans or in connection with certain qualified rehabilitation loans), nor can an MCC be issued in connection with a mortgage loan provided from proceeds of tax-exempt bonds, such as a loan financed through WCDA's Single-Family Bond Program. The amount of the credit will be equal to at least 10% but not more than 50% of the yearly interest paid or accrued on a qualified mortgage; however, where the certificate credit rate exceeds 20%, the amount of the credit allowed to the taxpayer for any taxable year shall not exceed $2,000. WCDA and its staff will designate rates of at least 10% but not more than 50% for each of: (1) mortgage loans to acquire a primary residence (new construction or existing) in Wyoming, (2) qualified home improvement loans relating to a primary residence in Wyoming, and (3) qualified rehabilitation loans relating to a primary residence in Wyoming. If the credit allowable under the 2016 MCC Program for any taxable year exceeds the homeowner's tax liability for such taxable year, then such excess credit may be carried over to each of the three succeeding taxable years and, subject to certain limitations, may be added to the credit allowable under the 2016 MCC Program for that succeeding year. The qualified homeowner may reduce the amount of monthly federal income tax withheld by filing a revised IRS W-4 Employee's Withholding Allowance Certificate in order to have more disposable income with which to make loan payments. Use of the MCC will reduce the deduction for home mortgage interest on the homebuyer's federal income tax return. Current federal tax law may require a payment to the federal government of a "recapture" tax if the homeowner sells or otherwise transfers his or her home to someone else within nine years after the MCC is issued. The MCC is issued at the time of the closing of a mortgage loan. The recapture tax represents a portion of the "federally subsidized amount" of the mortgage loan, calculated in accordance with federal tax law. The recapture tax may not exceed 50% of the gain realized on the sale or transfer of the home, and it would become a part of the homeowner's tax liability for the year that the home is sold or transferred. The homeowner may not have to pay part or all of the recapture amount if the homeowner's income, at the time of the sale or transfer, is less than a prescribed amount at the time of the sale or transfer. To be eligible for an MCC, the homeowner's gross annual household income may not exceed the limits set forth below. Gross annual household income is the total of all income, from whatever source, of all persons age 18 and older who will reside or who intend to reside in the residence. The maximum family incomes for all borrowers, as established by WCDA, currently range from $73,300 to $110,400 for one- or two-person families, and from $84,295 to $128,800 for three-or-more-person families. Income and eligibility standards are reviewed annually by WCDA and may be revised by WCDA at any time. Limits on income will in no event exceed the maximum levels, if any, permitted by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder (the "Code"). The maximum purchase prices for homes, as established by WCDA, currently range from $255,570 to $589,780. This purchase price limitation does not apply to MCCs issued in connection with qualified home improvement loans. Applicants also must meet the following eligibility requirements: 1. Qualified applicants must occupy the residence as their principal residence within 60 days after it is financed by a participating lender. The MCC will expire on the date that the residence ceases to be the principal residence of the qualified homebuyer. 2. Qualified applicants must not have had an ownership interest in a principal residence within the preceding three years, except for qualified applicants purchasing or constructing homes in federally designated targeted areas, certain veterans or those rehabilitating/improving their homes, who are exempt from this requirement. 3. No more than 15% of the residence being purchased can be used in a trade or business used in accordance with the Code. 4. The maximum amount of any qualified home improvement loan may not exceed $15,000. The total credit authority available under the 2016 MCC Program is $60,468,750. Until the total credit authority is exhausted, qualifying taxpayers may obtain an MCC in connection with their home financing from any participating lender, including, but not limited to, banks, savings and loan associations, mortgage banking firms and credit unions. WCDA will not make or purchase any loans in connection with the 2016 MCC Program. The application must be made through a participating lender qualified to do business and located in the State of Wyoming. A list of participating lenders is available to the public from WCDA. An applicant also may obtain a loan from a lender not on this list if the lender agrees to participate in the 2016 MCC Program. MCC applications will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. There is no allocation of MCCs by lender; however, for the first year of the 2016 MCC Program, 20% will be targeted to persons purchasing or constructing single-family homes and incurring qualified home improvement loans and qualified rehabilitation loans in Targeted Areas. Taxpayers must be qualified for an MCC under the Code and the regulations, rulings and interpretations issued by the Internal Revenue Service which shall control in the event of a conflict with other requirements. The taxpayer must meet the credit and underwriting criteria established by the participating lender which provides the mortgage loan. The applicant must sign all documents and affidavits which are needed to demonstrate the taxpayer's eligibility for an MCC. The lender and WCDA may charge the applicant a fee to defray their costs related to processing an MCC application and any on-going program expenses. WCDA reserves the right to adjust, modify or amend the 2016 MCC Program guidelines and eligibility requirements at its sole discretion and without further notice. For more information on the 2016 MCC Program or a copy of the participating list of lenders, contact Lesli Wright or Carol Wilson at the Wyoming Community Development Authority, 155 N. Beech Street, Casper, WY 82601 or call (307) 265-0603. Public Notice No. 4805 Publish in The Lusk Herald on January 18, 2017.
