In a recent government meeting, two significant motions were approved regarding the appointment of special prosecutors for ongoing cases. The first motion appoints Clayton Milankovitch, the Sublette County prosecuting attorney, to handle 13 cases, while the second motion designates Spencer Allred, the Lincoln County prosecuting attorney, for seven cases. Both motions passed unanimously, reflecting a collaborative approach to legal proceedings in the region.

The meeting also addressed upcoming agenda items, including a discussion on water pressure in Hoback, which is linked to a resolution requiring a $3 million commitment from the county for a local water district's enterprise. This funding is crucial for the district to proceed with its application to the state. The resolution acknowledges ongoing discussions about fire suppression needs in the area, highlighting the limited water supply options available for firefighting.

Interim Fire Chief Mike Moyer emphasized the importance of developing a reliable water source for fire suppression in the southern part of the county. He presented two potential systems: a comprehensive seven hydrant system that would ensure adequate coverage for residents and businesses, and a more limited two hydrant system that would require water to be transported by fire tenders. The discussions underscored the urgency of addressing water supply challenges to enhance fire safety in the region.

Overall, the meeting showcased the government's proactive stance on legal and public safety issues, with a focus on collaboration and community needs.
