BOCC Staff Meeting - May 19th, 2026

The Sheridan County Wyoming Board of County Commissioners held a staff meeting on May 19, 2026, which included several procurement and budget-related discussions. Key procurement topics included the airport manager's update on a revised federal grant application for snow removal equipment, reflecting actual bid and engineering costs, and a forthcoming lease agreement with United Airlines for a digital aircraft communication system at $150 per month with a 2% annual increase. The county clerk requested and received approval to replace a full-time employee and to hire 1 to 3 part-time temporary staff to support election operations, citing available budget funds and adherence to hiring policies. Additionally, the sheriff explained unusually high jail medication costs due to a specialty medication for an inmate, noting that these costs are temporary and not borne by the county. Budget updates were also provided, including upcoming loan payments and the timely delivery of budget packets to the board. No new contract awards or RFPs were announced, but several motions related to staffing and budget allocations were approved.
