2026.10.27 Fremont County, WY Commission Meeting

The Fremont County Commission meeting, held October 27, 2026, approved the recommended sheriff’s truck repair bid from Olton’s Auto Body for $21,233.51, with up to $5,000 for unforeseen damage, for a maximum of $26,233.51; the deductible is covered by the insurer. The commission also approved a $3,377 budget amendment for Riverton Museum collections storage, funded by a Greenwood Fund grant, and approved the contract and notice to proceed for the Blue Hill lateral piping project (Polyro LLC; project No. 5031 28007 01). It authorized payments of $1,435.84 to Ethel’s Transportation and Assistance and $975 to Cloud 8 Counseling Center.

The coroner’s building project had two bids that met specifications; Yates Construction bid $1,394,969, and the bids were about $6,980 apart. The commission deferred an award and scheduled further discussion for November 10, noting funding and other project costs still needed review. The assessor presented proposed additional Beacon GIS mapping services: $4,240 through the current contract year and approximately $3,000 annually thereafter. A possible budget adjustment was discussed, but no clear approval vote is captured in the transcript. A chambers remodel was also presented for consideration, with additional bids and funding review still pending; no authorization was given.
