Quick night in Riverside

In a meeting that lasted a little over 15 minutes, the Town of Riverside took care of the month’s business.

In recognition of a local business, the council announced that The BearTrap will be celebrating its eighth anniversary on April 8.

The council also signed a letter in support of the Wyoming Association of Municipalities plea to the state legislature to continue current funding of municipalities. WAM notes that the budget proposed by Governor Mead this year would mean a 50.8 percent total reduction in funding for municipalities.

Riverside is retaining its remaining State Land and Investment Board grant funds in case they need to raise the berms around the sewer lagoons. It has been identified that one of the berms is lower than the others and might need to be raised this winter.

In recreation matters, the town is requesting $3,500 for park maintenance and staff and $2,500 for a band for Party Day from the Carbon County School District No. 2 Recreation Board. The council also approved a $100 expenditure to support the Encampment K-12 School after-prom party.

Ken Schwerdt with Engineering Associates reported to the council that the airflow to the biodomes has been adjusted and monitoring will continue until they are operating optimally.
