Mr. Garza stated buildings and grounds staff are doing minor repairs and deep cleaning the property at 1044 Beck Avenue.

Park County Commissioners – RE: Approve a Designated Park County Newspaper per WY Statute §18-3-517
Clerk Renner presented the publishing fees for 2020 for each newspaper.
The Commissioners discussed the expense and necessity of publishing legal notices in both publications and the process of potentially designating only one paper as the official newspaper.
Commissioner Tilden made a motion to approve The Cody Enterprise and The Powell Tribune as official papers of Park County, Commissioner Overfield seconded.
Further discussions regarding the use of social media, newspapers being available at the libraries and that the County is not here to subsidize, Commissioner Thiel offered an amendment to the motion to designate one paper as the official publication and place an advertisement in the other stating that the minutes and legal notices can be found on the county website. Chairman Livingston called for the question and the motion failed Commissioners Thiel, Overfield and Mangold. Further discussions led to a new motion by Commissioner Tilden designating both the Powell Tribune and Cody Enterprise for 30 days and revisit the issue after hearing from the papers/constituents before making a final decision, Commissioner Mangold seconded, and motion carried.
