Why it matters: Residents said the trailer park pays roughly $497,000 a year into a lake fund and asked for transparency about how that money is spent and why visible repairs in the park are not keeping pace with revenue. The commission and parks staff said the parks board is being reorganized and that staff and the board will consider equitable approaches to spending Lake Fund money.

Doug Malsam, who identified himself as a resident of Alcoa Trailer Park since 1992, described long-standing issues including unreliable water fill and aging black water lines, incomplete bathroom repairs at the park laundry/amenity building and debris and unauthorized dumping at and near park dumpsters. He said residents have asked for an accounting of funds and for capital work including sewer upgrades. “We pay $497,000 a year,” Malsam said. “Where does it go? I can tell you, it ain't been spent in a trailer park.”

Commissioner Nicholson and other commissioners said the county is moving to reorganize the parks board and hold a public meeting tomorrow to take comment on proposed rules; they encouraged residents to apply for open trustee positions so the lake and trailer-park interests have direct representation. Nicholson acknowledged a multi-million-dollar sewer estimate exists for the park and said the parks board would need to set priorities and look for funding sources.

Staff told residents the county has received lists of requested repairs and that staff would follow up with parks, legal and zoning offices. Commissioners asked residents to provide photographic documentation of specific code or trash concerns so staff can investigate. Commissioner Miller said he favors at least one parks-board member from the trailer park community to ensure their perspective is represented.

Votes at a glance: The consent agenda was approved later in the meeting (motion by Commissioner Laird; second by Commissioner Milner; vote: all in favor). No other formal votes tied directly to the public comments were recorded.

Outlook: Commissioners said a parks board meeting and a public hearing on park-rule amendments are scheduled and that the parks board will consider funding priorities; staff will pursue follow-up meetings and provide residents with requested information about fund allocations and capital estimates.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Natrona County Board of County Commissioners - April 1, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Multiple residents raised concerns during public comment about living conditions, water service and the allocation of lake-related funds at Alcoa Trailer Park; commissioners said a reconstituted parks board and upcoming public meetings will provide a forum to address those problems.","taxTitle","Natrona, Wyoming","taxId",3790,"location","Wyoming","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6092390,"Natrona Collective Health Trust outlines monitoring plan for Banner, commissioners seek direct contact with independent monitor",373,96190,469980,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2854098-8f1b571403c3304aec70f30312e10c83&start=96&end=469","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2854098-8f1b571403c3304aec70f30312e10c83/thumbnail_96190.jpg","/articles/6092390/Wyoming/Natrona-Collective-Health-Trust-outlines-monitoring-plan-for-Banner-commissioners-seek-direct-contact-with-independent-monitor","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6092390-76d61bd48777d026771933b563089977/orig.mp4?Expires=1770658254&Signature=Gn80GOm~2PE9DBeLgt~zblDa5NuUNAyGLdMHX3h8vqcaDXKB6g1ONg6x1emxveqoRvSiiX9m8rQh-OVtzv8Nmb9xtJYxoOiUJZwW3TXFKFRIoLHzO-MdRu--s~bDJOQKmt6scGnFwkqt904Ce~a0JfXn~KuoMNouth-E8jhDRXksSJopkT3KTc-31kE1qN9xGcV294XsE3XO1lURBE--rbYcdH3DYqNhXl5CHDrivb2JVtzljlwKpKbYtcTkldfBidHIVn1~tfHvtjzb8Eh2lkao3b~yhC0TnRhhi8yqdFKfSi5M1R~IIJYbCDfOV5sJNh0WdsMlgZ0hl00nsU8NSw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Natrona Collective Health Trust told the Natrona County Board of County Commissioners on Tuesday that it has retained an outside consultant, PYA, to conduct independent monitoring of Banner Wyoming Medical Center and is preparing follow-up responses to a recent county information request.

The trust’s chair, Eric Nelson, said the trust received the commission’s letter late last week and that trustees were reviewing the requests; he said the trust expects to convene its executive committee and board to decide whether parts of the response should be discussed in executive session. “I would hope that we could get back to you within a week, but I don't want to promise anything hard and fast,” Nelson said.

Why it matters: Commissioners pressed the trust for more direct contact between the independent monitor and county stakeholders, saying a monitoring report that does not include input from the Memorial Hospital Board of Trustees or the county could appear incomplete. The trust said it is receiving regular updates from PYA and expects the monitor’s work to follow the timeline agreed in the trust’s extension request, with a final monitoring product due in June and a trust assessment in July.

Beth Worthen, chief executive officer of the Natrona Collective Health Trust, said the trust submitted a packet of required materials and that the materials in the packet reflect the trust’s reporting obligations to the county while separate monitoring-related work continues with Banner. “We have retained a PYA, an outside consultant to help us with our monitoring obligations vis-à-vis Banner,” Worthen said. “We're receiving regular updates from them.”

Commissioner Nicholson asked whether PYA had met with the Memorial Hospital Board of Trustees or with the Board of County Commissioners. Worthen said she did not know the full list of PYA’s stakeholder contacts and offered to provide contact information so PYA could reach out to the commission. Nelson said he would convey the commissioners’ interest in meeting the consultant to avoid perceptions that the review was “tainted” by being staff- or board-driven.

Commissioners also raised a separate concern about the process available to residents who want to provide information to PYA. Several commissioners and members of the public told the trust that a public portal on the trust website is the route PYA uses to collect stakeholder input; some residents told commissioners they are uneasy if the trust receives and forwards complaints to PYA rather than stakeholders sending information directly to the monitor. Worthen said the trust maintains an email address and that material sent to that address goes to PYA; she said she would follow up to clarify whether the trust can see submissions before they reach the consultant.

Outlook: Commissioners asked the trust to (1) provide contact information for PYA, (2) confirm whether PYA has met with the hospital board and the county, and (3) report back about whether the trust can or does view submissions before the consultant receives them. Nelson and Worthen said they would respond to the commission’s requests after the trust board convenes.

Why it matters: High-resolution imagery, LIDAR and updated web tools underpin property assessment, land-use planning and emergency response across jurisdictions. GIO staff warned that a potential reconfiguration of the parks board could affect the parks department’s access to the county’s Esri enterprise license agreement.

Dwayne and Denise (GIO presenters) told commissioners that EagleView will perform an imagery flight this spring or summer when environmental conditions permit. Deliverables for the county include imagery, LIDAR-derived elevation and contours, expanded land-use/land-cover products and an oil-and-gas finder layer; Casper Mountain LIDAR capture was specifically scheduled for this year. A project manager has been assigned for the county portion.

GIO staff said a GeoSMART overhaul is planned for summer with a production rollout of new web apps likely in May and encouraged commissioners and staff to test the development portal and submit survey feedback. The redesign will use a more responsive coding framework to improve performance on mobile devices.

Commissioner Coates asked about the ArcPro transition. GIO staff said ArcDesktop will be supported through March 1, 2026, and that assessor and county workflows are being updated for ArcPro compatibility; training and workflow adjustments are underway to minimize disruption.

Eileen and other GIO staff raised a licensing risk: Esri’s contract manager told the county that Esri is moving away from multi-jurisdictional ELAs and will not add new parent members. The parks department currently uses the county ELA; staff said reconfiguration of the parks board could affect that arrangement and that the county will explore language and coordination options to preserve parks access if governance changes occur.

Outlook: Commissioners were encouraged to test the new GeoSMART portal and submit feedback. Staff will provide updates as EagleView mobilizes and as ArcPro migration work and licensing discussions proceed.","The county’s geographic information office (GIO) presented its annual budget and outlined a spring imagery flight with expanded deliverables, a GeoSMART web-app redesign to be released in May, migration support for ArcPro and a licensing concern that could affect Natrona County Parks’ access to the county Esri enterprise license agreement (ELA).",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6092385,"Health department building ahead of schedule; officials outline multi-source funding and monthly reconciliation plan",458,1476690,1934840,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2854098-8f1b571403c3304aec70f30312e10c83&start=1476&end=1934","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2854098-8f1b571403c3304aec70f30312e10c83/thumbnail_1476690.jpg","/articles/6092385/Wyoming/Health-department-building-ahead-of-schedule-officials-outline-multi-source-funding-and-monthly-reconciliation-plan","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6092385-ce69706146aee63ce8404285671a65b1/orig.mp4?Expires=1770658254&Signature=kDISyeWjZZ4romQv9QV953avGy~bO0erZAw-sr3mK4sPFTGVOCDgbYjubl9n~BNGrX-uCZQgyQ~yk~-1Xu5H1~cSkNtfoH2u6oPeLa-lNCZbzEtPm5UB5TKMpa3yCIufb89Vmg7H38QlCHubpU1TZckHHEz9-gvh7ymDKoC4te6q7jkpnq-vI3h8DqaRlamA1da2abHbwumicgCR4XaSJ7fiziGo9o4eVRMe4L9m3w~HGvRjuiDr8h1yqzvyXuPHefUwOts6-nonhej1ruYzwiuslexgW9gZyVJU79o7nedzwdD-ZoSTiOu4wN-UlvcZAJqVFU0WSQFBIaZRKatzAw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Natrona County health department officials told the Board of County Commissioners on Tuesday that the new health department construction is progressing ahead of schedule and remains essentially on budget, and they described the complex mix of funding sources supporting the project.

Why it matters: The project carries a multi-million-dollar budget and multiple federal and local funding streams that require separate reporting and reconciliation; commissioners asked for clarity on who is responsible for each grant’s paperwork to avoid compliance problems.

Anna (director, Natrona County Public Health) told commissioners that staff reconciled invoices and clarified coding for two invoice categories tied to Board of Health commitments for medical equipment and FF&E, totaling $154,000 and separated from other funding. She said an initial reimbursement check to the county for $10,000 had been issued and a $20,500 receipt was recorded the same day.

Project controller Tim (owner’s representative) reported the guaranteed maximum price (GMP) from the contractor Sampson at $31,500,000 and soft costs of $7,200,000 for a total project cost of $38,700,000. Contract change orders have reduced contract value by approximately $340,000, lowering the adjusted total to about $38,400,000. Sampson carries a construction contingency of $857,000; an owner construction contingency (part of soft costs) of about $1,900,000 remains available and has not been used. The contractor still projects a completion date of Jan. 28, 2026, with occupancy and move-in likely in late February 2026 after final punch-list work.

Officials identified seven funding streams for the project. The four active grants and amounts described were: county ARPA funds ($15,500,000), SLIB ARPA funds ($4,500,000), congressional directed spending ($1,500,000), and the county health district (CNCHD) reserve ($1,000,000). Additional sources include past Natrona County 1% funds, internal CNCHD funds, and future county allocations; officials said reconciliation is ongoing.

Commissioners asked who is responsible for federal grant reporting. Staff named assigned leads: a county representative will manage county ARPA reporting (identified in discussion as “Nick”); staff provided SLIB ARPA reporting; Jared is assigned to congressional directed spending; the health district will manage its reserve-account reporting. The executive team said it will meet as a working group monthly (mid-month) to reconcile invoices and track incoming charges; commissioners welcomed the monthly cadence.

Construction updates: Tim said Sampson reported being roughly a month ahead on site work and that roofing would be completed soon. Soft costs include professional services, material testing, building commissioning, AV and security electronics, FF&E, medical equipment and owner contingency. Tim estimated the majority of the $1.9 million owner construction contingency will be returned to the county at project close unless used.

Outlook: Staff said reporting responsibilities are assigned and monthly reconciliation meetings will continue. Commissioners requested more detailed soft-cost line items; staff committed to provide additional soft-cost detail.","Natrona County health department leaders and the owner’s representative updated commissioners on construction progress, a projected January 2026 substantial completion, current project budget and multiple funding streams, and assigned staff for federal grant reporting and monthly reconciliation.","actionData","errors"]
