Jacinski said he and eight others filed a verified complaint with the governor alleging malfeasance and misconduct after the 2024 general election. He described testifying before the governor and the state senate committee on related bills, submitting tens of pages of supporting documentation and being granted extended testimony time when the governor’s counsel invited them to speak. Jacinski asked the commission to schedule a formal time within two weeks so he could respond more fully to the governor’s report.

Commissioners said they could not intervene in actions by the governor’s office and noted that some aspects of precinct committee appointments differ from general public elections. The chairman suggested staff could identify a future meeting slot in which Jacinski could present his response, or he could speak again during the public-comment period later the same day. The board did not take formal action on Jacinski’s request at that meeting.

Ending: The chairman and staff said they would discuss whether to set aside time at a future meeting so Jacinski and other complainants could present a formal rebuttal; no date was set on the record.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Weston County Commissioners regular meeting PART 1 of 2.

Commissioners and road staff agreed the roadway needs more than temporary repairs in several stretches; rebuilding sections would be more durable but costly. Commissioners asked the county engineer and road staff (referred to as Jim and other staff) to identify the worst sections and propose an initial multi-mile phased plan and estimated costs so the county can present a clear project proposal to state officials. One participant referenced an engineer's per-mile estimate during discussion; commissioners acknowledged the figure and emphasized the need for a detailed plan for use in SLIB and executive-office discussions.

Several commissioners recommended informal, in-person outreach to state executive offices and SLIB members before the formal grant presentation, to make officials aware of the county’s plan and priorities. Commissioners suggested that showing the county has already invested in targeted sections would strengthen any SLIB request.

No formal vote occurred on funding or a grant application; the board directed staff to develop a list of target segments, cost estimates and a multi-year approach to present to state decision-makers. Commissioners signaled an intent to pursue phased reconstruction and to seek external assistance rather than attempt a full project all at once.

Ending: Staff was asked to prepare a prioritized, phased plan with per-section estimates and to schedule outreach to state SLIB contacts as part of the county’s funding strategy.","Facing a large project and limited county funds, commissioners asked county road staff to identify priority road sections for phased reconstruction and suggested personal outreach to state officials before submitting a SLIB application.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6538935,"Commissioners authorize chairman to sign Powder River Energy commercial application, easement for airport power project",304,1626000,1930000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3794892-7e8cd5ec3a5ea7f450e0bb31779bea3d&start=1626&end=1930","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3794892-7e8cd5ec3a5ea7f450e0bb31779bea3d/thumbnail_1626000.jpg","/articles/6538935/Weston-County/Wyoming/Commissioners-authorize-chairman-to-sign-Powder-River-Energy-commercial-application-easement-for-airport-power-project","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6538935-e3447704f5919a577f2e4068014cc459/orig.mp4?Expires=1771103800&Signature=KwwgLK0r30oklCQt61qFUAWSARbHfxRltgYIbo7uOdr0qREkT1cARdF1emV73H2oc94n27liLn9mbxVFQLoOEugh0s3~nQh6HZfCwFZJTKnAuVIsdVQZyel1VU1zS2lb1oFHanbFHIl0Ob76otDYQbrUUG85HRN4ZFI5P4D9X2ofeQNKUJQL6GVLTk2Kp6-FcCVuIkFWy2~ZWLl07uejPtx2HAxjtKZ-5GF8X3FLFkTXDXPvUJTgwUxET-18ecZlDluH1I6m36tB5nhSlJVZPHMgLfKrofgqxh3IcEHz8CtFLFE4YK~ouG9yum-ADXnNOR5QsZOyKQph5QNOXwJZjg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Weston County commissioners on June 3 authorized the chairman to sign a commercial application for membership, an electric service agreement and a right-of-way easement with Powder River Energy to bring power to new facilities at the county airport.

County staff said the easement and associated fees were paid from an existing grant and that the easement must also be signed by the city of Newcastle before the county sends the package with the check. Commissioners had previously reviewed the project and the related funding; at the meeting staff confirmed that the easement documents and payment were part of the original grant paperwork.

During discussion, a commissioner noted the need to speak with a county staffer (Tim) by phone to verify inclusion in the grant documents; staff confirmed the easement and funding were included. The chair repeated the motion to authorize his signature on the commercial application, electric service agreement and right-of-way documents for the airport project. The motion passed on an affirmative voice vote.

Ending: Once the city of Newcastle signs the easement and the county chairman signs, staff said the county will send the documents with the payment to Powder River Energy and complete the contractual steps for power service to the airport project.","Board authorized the chairman to sign a commercial membership/application and right-of-way easement with Powder River Energy for power infrastructure to new airport facilities; funding and grant paperwork will accompany signatures and the city of Newcastle also must sign.",{"_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":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6538939,"Commissioners pause Pizza Barn liquor-license transfer until after July renewal; clerk to seek written withdrawal",4901,839000,5740000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3794892-7e8cd5ec3a5ea7f450e0bb31779bea3d&start=839&end=5740","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3794892-7e8cd5ec3a5ea7f450e0bb31779bea3d/thumbnail_839000.jpg","/articles/6538939/Weston-County/Wyoming/Commissioners-pause-Pizza-Barn-liquor-license-transfer-until-after-July-renewal-clerk-to-seek-written-withdrawal","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6538939-ed3f8ef9b956522c59143331bf88b73a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771103800&Signature=XUw~yEOsAh7gkd9CJ09Ijs9ZeRiPtGnccIcQORwT3vLNSVHOXVHP6Gr3a89ZLAfft0PduAuy9T6072SXfEMbcD1kkCD1srrGvWOfRNu5t7uHSl2utx6CgZIRr2iuEkfjoVpVSMrA790t8wAzsAQcodObkYl1Gy3XB2geKfOXYqb2c1WjK4HlTHQgq9c5s2lsg76B5F6YbsVen-d4XiFWzKnHkXRBXYE4dlyC3hKj7TUR0Zc-ARQLVDZ6H9yypOXz6uAA1PnI4F8Vx5D4dBLF33PB9giRs773xsqAghAD2IND0qny--9QC-biLq0~XrWzRkVAestqTL597xLyTzFMCw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Weston County commissioners on June 3 discussed a proposed liquor-license transfer from Pizza Barn to Pizza Barn LLC and agreed to delay final action until after the July 1 renewal period to avoid opening the license to public application.

County staff told the board that the renewal for the current license year must be approved 30 days before the new term. Because the renewal paperwork for Pizza Barn LLC had not been completed in time for a July 1 renewal, the clerk advised that approving the transfer now could leave the license available to any applicant on July 1. Staff recommended the business withdraw the current transfer application and reapply after the renewal takes effect to preserve the incumbent's position.

The applicant and the county clerk discussed discrepancies on the application form, including how member ownership of Pizza Barn LLC is listed and a phone-number correction. The clerk said a written withdrawal of the transfer would be needed if the applicant wishes to pause the process and reapply later. Commissioners asked staff (Amber and County Attorney Michael) to work with the business and the applicant’s attorney to produce the withdrawal and coordinate the July filing.

No formal approval of the transfer occurred at the meeting; the board directed staff to handle the paperwork so the renewal is not jeopardized. Staff said the earliest a transfer could be considered after the July start of the new license year would likely be the board’s July 15 meeting, contingent on proper notification and advertising rules.

Ending: County staff will pursue a written withdrawal from the applicant and advise the business on reapplying for the transfer after the July 1 renewal takes effect.","The board discussed a transfer from Pizza Barn to Pizza Barn LLC and agreed to wait until after July 1 renewals so the license is not opened to public application; staff to request a withdrawal letter and coordinate a July reapplication/transfer.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6538944,"Weston County sets temporary gravel-hauling rate at $1.45/hour, contingent on insurance",1562,1983000,3545000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3794892-7e8cd5ec3a5ea7f450e0bb31779bea3d&start=1983&end=3545","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3794892-7e8cd5ec3a5ea7f450e0bb31779bea3d/thumbnail_1983000.jpg","/articles/6538944/Weston-County/Wyoming/Weston-County-sets-temporary-gravel-hauling-rate-at-145hour-contingent-on-insurance","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6538944-e70b026a72a2bbe2a07cf48c7763afc0/orig.mp4?Expires=1771103800&Signature=HlVgsFtSw2DkNtGQBxVW25zIBSTf-jtCqpW9tMP9x~A6VHpEyOaGP6G-3qQlNp4FFcHyV2CKwcePP4s1b-B4erzG7X4XdYxwf7lK2arbu3yjleT~Ttn0DuUEl3B5aLW40Kp3Ta2~kYawad2-c-KrQ1fkFIL1oYnWyhGITmdPGcW3va4oFyZMIs942hjl16Tx315o7DtV79DcwHJIbIjlN9dUw6hBMrTWyKYAYp34npnLng-PkKOiaJvgS4Ch~3d8clGi3ca6W49A0Bj-Fn0sBDHgVu9YPap2ppJCJydiGmeXgtvWur3YL5R~OiY9cO7JM-URbcsUloOpzIvycqk5Sw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Weston County commissioners voted June 3 to offer a $1.45-per-hour contract rate to interested bidders for the county's 2025 gravel-hauling work, contingent on each contractor providing current liability insurance.

The decision followed a public bid opening at which officials read 12 bids, noting the number of trucks each bidder could provide and hourly rates ranging from $1.25 to $1.65. County staff said two bidders — Triple 7 Trucking LLC and Farnsworth Services Company Inc. — did not provide proof of insurance with their submissions. Commissioners discussed whether to accept the lowest individual rates for single-truck bidders, the risk that a single-truck bidder would not be able to supply multiple loads, and how to ensure enough trucks would be available when needed.

County staff and commissioners reviewed the tabulation of bids, which listed truck counts and hourly rates for each bidder. Commissioners noted that several companies offered multiple trucks at the $1.50-per-hour level and that setting the offered contract rate at $1.45 would guarantee a base pool of haulers while leaving an option to call others at higher rates as needed.

Commissioner Jim motioned to offer $1.45 an hour to interested parties, contingent on active insurance for bidders who had not yet provided it; the motion passed on an affirmative voice vote. Commissioners said the county will prioritize contractors that can supply multiple trucks and will verify insurance before awarding work.

The new rate applies to hauling for the county's road work program; commissioners said they expect to supplement county forces with private haulers to meet seasonal demand. County staff will follow up with bidders missing insurance documents and finalize contractor assignments under the $1.45 offer.

Votes and procedural notes: The board opened and read all 12 bids at the June 3 meeting. After discussion, a motion to offer $1.45/hour contingent on proof of insurance was made and approved; commissioners voiced “aye” with no recorded opposition.

Ending: County staff will notify bidders and confirm insurance before assigning loads under the new conditional rate. Commissioners discussed next steps for making the contract operational and for ensuring sufficient truck availability throughout the hauling season.","After opening 12 bids for 2025 gravel hauling, commissioners voted to offer a $1.45/hour rate to interested bidders contingent on proof of insurance; two bidders lacked insurance documentation and staff will follow up.","actionData","errors"]
