to approve a $5,000 payment to the project. Motion carried.
FOSSIL CANYON
The Commissioners discussed the Fossil Canyon road closure. Prosecuting
Attorney Roger Jones had sent a letter to the property owner requesting
that the barricade to the road be removed. He had not heard back
yet.
SNOWMOBILE PARKING LOTS
The Commissioners discussed two snowmobile parking lots. They
received an agreement from the Bureau of Land Management giving
the County a long term lease for land in North Canyon. Commissioner
Kunz made a motion seconded by Commissioner Romrell to approve
the lease. Motion carried. They also had an offer of private
land for a lot at Skinner Canyon at no charge. The owner wanted
a written agreement.
MONTPELIER IMPACT AREA
Mitch Poulsen and Ron Jensen, County Planning and Zoning, and
Lori Haddock, Montpelier Planning and Zoning, presented a proposal
for a revised Impact Area for the City of Montpelier. The Montpelier
City Council and the County Planning and Zoning had both approved
the proposal. Commissioner Romrell made a motion seconded by
Commissioner Kunz to approve the impact area as presented. Motion
carried.
SOLID WASTE ORDINANCE
The Commissioners again discussed the Solid Waste Ordinance in
regards to concrete disposal. The Commissioners noted that the
Ordinance needs to be updated to allow the disposal of concrete
in places other than the landfill with certain restrictions.
Todd Transtrum will contact surrounding Counties and the State
for some guidance.
GENERAL ELECTION CANVASS
Clerk Haddock presented the results of the November 2, 2010 General
Election. 2,277 voters cast ballots, which was 67.7% of the registered
voters. Acting as the Board of Canvassers of Election, Commissioner
Kunz made a motion seconded by Commissioner Romrell to approve
the voter abstract as presented. Motion carried.
DINGLE DRAINAGE PROJECT
The Commissioners noted that the Soil conservation Service was
concerned that the contractor installing the new drainage project
in Dingle was somewhat late in starting the project.
ROAD AND BRIDGE ISSUES
Greg Skinner, Road and Bridge Supervisor, presented his monthly
report. He expressed the need for the County to have several
gravel pits around the County and encouraged the Commissioners
to consider buying some land in various places for that purpose.
He reported on a grant application to purchase new signs for
various places in the County. He and Commissioner Romrell had
attended a demonstration in Oneida County of a Zipper. This is
a new machine to resurface roads. The machine was effective,
but expensive. They also learned at a Five County Transportation
meeting that an inspection station was planned for location at
the bottom of Fish Creek Summit. Most felt that this was a poor
location.
DINGLE SUBDIVISION
Evan Skinner asked the Commissioners to approve a subdivision
with the Dingle Cemetery Road as access. Road is only 18 feet
wide with a 29 foot right of way. The right of way could be widened
to 45 feet. The Commissioners were concerned that this may cause
a bottleneck and wanted to look at the road prior to making a
decision.

Commissioner Romrell made a motion seconded by Commissioner Kunz
to approve the current bills. Motion carried.
