• Review/Approve and Chairman sign changes to the CMAR contract
Mr. Edwards stated the contract has been cleaned up by Attorney Skoric with Filener accepting the changes and the agreement has been signed. Mr. Edwards explained the steps moving forward with start date of May 15th and meeting with City of Cody.

• Review Viewer’s Report for Proposed Vacation of a Public Road Right-of Way (Alley) Located at the Back of Lots 1,2,3, & 4 on Clark Street in Ralston, Wyoming
Mr. Edwards presented some history which dates to 1907 when the Ralston townsite was officially established by Big Horn County. It appears that the alleyway has never been established or used by the public. It is not needed or used for emergency services or deliveries. Further, it is not anticipated that the public alley will be needed or used in the future. Should the property east of the Ralston townsite be developed and subdivided in the future, rights-of-way remain within the Ralston townsite to connect Carbon Street and Natrona Street, both public roads to any future development to the east. The proposed vacation of the alley for Lots 1, 2, & 3 is consistent with previous vacations for the alley for Lot 4 (Block 8) approved by the BOCC in 2011. Based on the information and findings summarized Mr. Edwards recommends accepting the Viewers Report and proceeding with the process to “vacate” the public roadway (alley).
Commissioner Fulkerson made a motion to accept the viewers report with the requirement of a $1,500 deposit, Commissioner Thiel seconded, and motion carried.

Commissioner Fulkerson moved to exit from executive session, Commissioner Thiel seconded, and the motion carried. No decisions were made in or as a result of the executive session.
