Helen Weiland, South Central Wyoming Emergency Services (SCWEMS) representative, and SCWEMS Director, Stanton Moseby presented Resolution 2022-5 and gave a report to the Council at the November 10, 2022 meeting. The resolution is to allow SCWEMS to apply for the American Rescue Plan Act ARPA grant. This would provide money to help fund Emergency Medical Response (EMR) classes and to purchase two SUV type vehicles to be stationed at the Encampment Station and Elk Mountain.
