Cody Gortmaker, Coroner – RE: Discussion on Coroner Position
Coroner Gortmaker has some concerns regarding the budget and training for himself and possibly five deputies. The coroner asked about using the funeral home vehicle rather than going to the coroner building and trading out vehicles when a call comes in. Chairwoman Overfield thought that would be a question for the County Attorney. Mr. Gortmaker also heard Thomas Bennett will no longer be performing autopsies so alternate arrangements will need to be made.
Kim Dillivan, Planning & Zoning – RE: Barela MS-70 Final Plat/SIA
Mr. Dillivan presented the final plat requesting approval of a three-lot subdivision consisting of one 1.51-acre lot, one 36.30-acre lot and one 1.93-acre lot each for agricultural and residential uses for Roy Barela. The property is 4 miles west-southwest of Powell on Road 14 and in GR-P zoning. No public hearing is required, agency referrals have been met and no public comments received. Prior conditions have all been met. Staff recommends approval of the Subdivision Improvements Agreement and final plat with four conditions that were read into the record.
Commissioner Livingston made a motion to approve the Subdivision Improvement Agreement, Commissioner Thiel seconded, motion carried.
Commissioner Mangold made a motion to approve the final plat with conditions, Commissioner Livingston seconded, motion carried. Resolution 2023-01
Jim Tobin – RE: Use of County Facility for Pickleball
Mr. Tobin stated Pickleball is an important physical and socialization activity for all ages. The group has in the past used the Powell Armory but at this time it is not available. School gyms are booked, and the group is in search of a place to play. The Commissioners expressed concern regarding the line tape leaving a residue on the floor and noted that the normal fee for Heart Mountain Hall is $225.00 per night. Mary Nell Oechsner, Colby Stenerson, Cheryl Elliott, Roger Beslanowitch and Theresa Miller all made comments in support of the request.
Commissioner Livingston would like the group to visit with the Events manager to see if maybe make this work since it will not be long term.
Commissioners – RE: Appointment of Secretary to the Planning & Zoning Commission
Commissioner Mangold made a motion that we designate the office assistant of the Planning & Zoning Department to serve as the secretary to the Planning & Zoning Commission. In the absence of the office assistant, it shall be the responsibility of the Planning & Zoning Director or her designee to designate another member of staff to temporarily fill the role of secretary until such time as the office assistant becomes available. Commissioner Thiel seconded, motion carried. RESOLUTION 2023-02
Larry Dodge and Larry French – RE: Emergency Food Storage
Mr. Dodge gave a brief description of why there is a necessity for food storage in the future. Mr. French gave estimated costs to setup a food storage facility for Park County. The storage would consist of oats, wheat and corn and bins would need to be purchased to store the commodities. There have been conversations with the local churches about distribution if needed and a location for a storage facility needs to be determined.
Andris Vaskis and Boone Tidwell also made comment in support for the project. The Board will be meeting with Jeff Martin, Homeland Security Director next week and encouraged Mr. Dodge and Mr. French to also reach out to him.
