Quick trip through Riverside

Mayor Leroy Stephenson attended the Riverside Town Council meeting on March 11 via phone conference. It was a short meeting over all.

Helen Weiland, South Central Wyoming EMS Joint Powers Board representative, relayed that their meeting had been canceled last month due to storms. The meeting was rescheduled for Monday in Saratoga. As previously reported on February 19, “SCWEMS update”, SCWEMS had hired a paramedic. However, the State of Wyoming still has not approved her license. The issue is still unresolved.

A 55 gallon drum of PCT 315 at the cost of $3,572.25 plus a fee of $85.00 was approved for mosquito abatement.

Ed Golden, Riverside Town Council member, provided a quick overview of the Special Purpose Tax Joint Power Board meeting on February 17. Officers were chosen at the meeting. Irene Archibald will be the Chairman, Dustin Seibold of Rawlins will be Vice-Chair, P. M. Eastman is to be Secretary and Lindsay West will be Treasurer. A municipal advisor is needed and they are still working on getting a bond trustee, which has to be a large bank. The Special Purpose Tax Joint Power Board will have meetings during the third week of the month.

The next meeting for the Riverside Town Council will be at 6 p.m. on Thursday, April 9.
