# Board of Trustees of NC Parks & Recreation System - November 12, 2026

The Natrona County Parks Board meeting on November 12, 2026, included an executive session for contracts and litigation. After returning, the board noted recommendations to move forward on contracts through the attorney, but the transcript gives no contract details or related vote. The board approved the October 8 minutes and a consent agenda containing two Alcova lot permits. Staff reported that 41 archery-range targets had arrived; work is weather-dependent, and signage funded through a grant is planned for winter. A draft 202-page water and sewer study for the Alcova cabin area is under review and is expected to inform future permitting decisions. A contractor is expected to repair a collapsed section of the Little Beach retaining wall. The board also discussed the ongoing shelter construction and a pending lease with the City of Casper for property used by the trail center and biathlon club.

Public comment from the Central Wyoming Trails Alliance covered its archery-range tree-work contract, described as an open-ended ten-day effort, and a Bear Trap Trail project supported by a state trust fund grant and another 50/50-match grant; the Alliance estimated its match at about $25,000–$27,000 and said donations could help cover it. The Alliance also referenced a county-approved $5,000 summer agreement for trail work. No new procurement award or spending motion was identified. Other discussion focused on trail safety and maintenance, winter access and grooming, staffing constraints, and Nordic ski schedules.
