# Natrona County Board of County Commissioners - October 6, 2026

The Natrona County Board of County Commissioners’ regular meeting on October 6, 2026, included facilities, road and bridge, IT, planning, and budget discussions. Facilities staff reported that four jail kitchen makeup-air units had arrived and were scheduled for installation, the library parking lot had been resealed, and a garage heater had been installed. Fire-station work was discussed after bids came in near expectations; staff noted that some electrical and other additions could be completed in-house. The Board also questioned proposed one-cent sales tax projects, including an approximately $800,000 library restroom and plumbing renovation (staff estimated roughly $25,000–$35,000 per bathroom) and a $250,000 roof project. Road and Bridge presented a $6.241 million request, including a proposed $2.5 million first-year bridge project and equipment needs. Commissioners said requests totaling about $32 million substantially exceeded approximately $14 million in anticipated revenue and asked departments to prioritize needs; a follow-up discussion was scheduled for October 14 at 9:30 a.m. No one-cent project allocations or related spending approvals were made at this meeting.

Other procurement-related items included an IT request to consider an SUV or van for transporting equipment and staff, and notice that Lumen is discontinuing voice services, requiring the county to explore replacement voice circuits or services; IT reported no major purchases currently planned. The county attorney was working on health department contracts and a newspaper RFP, with no awards or amounts specified. The Board approved a partial vacation of the Allenale plat, a land-use action rather than a procurement decision. Discussion of the proposed Prometheus data center focused on zoning, impacts, and projected public revenues, not a county purchase or contract award.
