Dubois Council to Weigh Sawmill Bridge Emergency Grant, Ball Field Lights and More Wednesday

The original story by Katie Roenigk for County 10.

The Dubois Town Council will meet for its regular session at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 10, in the Council Chambers at Dubois Town Hall, 712 Meckem Street.

On the agenda early in the night is an economic development sales tax progress report from the Wilderness Flower Company.

Councilors will also hear updates on holiday closures, the Wyoming Association of Municipalities Winter Conference, and a rundown of meetings that have been cancelled or rescheduled.

The first official action item is an executive session to discuss potential litigation.

Back in open session, the council will consider accepting the fiscal year 2024-2025 financial audit, then take up whether to remove a previously tabled item involving a Wind River Visitor’s Council appointment dismissal. According to staff, “Mr. Furman had requested this subject remain on the table” until the Dec. 10 meeting.

Ball field lighting is another big topic Wednesday. The council will look at:

• A Notice of Award to Valet Lighting Company for $97,467 for materials;
• A Notice of Award to Bar T for $56,575 for construction.

The council will also consider an agreement with Alagrants LLC for consulting services to help complete a grant application for the Dubois Police Department. The application is for a US Department of Transportation Safe Streets and Roads grant to fund an action plan, at a cost not to exceed $18,000.

Other items on the agenda include:

• Accepting a donation of vacant real property on West Ramshorn Street from the Dubois Visitor’s Center;
• A resolution to submit an emergency grant application to the State Loan and Investment Board for Sawmill Bridge repairs;
• A resolution to submit a US Department of Transportation grant application for water improvements, street replacement, and stormwater upgrades on Meckem Street;

• Reappointing Craig Penticoff, Lyn Milton, and Melissa Claar-Reed to the Dubois Board of Adjustment;
