BOCC Special Meeting - June 3rd, 2026

The Sheridan County Wyoming Board of County Commissioners held a special meeting on June 3, 2026, primarily focused on finalizing budget discussions for various county departments. Key procurement-related topics included approval of general fund requests for the airport, law enforcement, and library staffing, with detailed discussions on salary step and grade adjustments, cost of living increases (COLA), and budget allocations for capital projects such as a storage building and fairgrounds improvements. The board approved several motions related to staffing changes, including new positions in the attorney's office and coroner's office, and agreed on a 5% COLA for eligible employees excluding certain law enforcement and attorney positions. They also addressed the removal of a $110,000 capital budget item for commercial air service and debated the location and funding approach for a new storage building, ultimately deciding to investigate airport business park options further before committing funds. Additionally, the board approved the grants budget and fixed costs budget with minor adjustments. The meeting included motions passed to approve these budget items and staffing changes, reflecting a focus on maintaining competitive wages to retain critical county employees and managing capital improvement projects prudently.
