In Old Business, Chair Parks updated the Board on the meeting held January 29th regarding SB-241, confirming that the Gardiner Water/Sewer District probably has the biggest upcoming project that may apply.
Representatives from Gardiner Fire also attended and spoke to the need for a new fire truck. Others in attendance included NYEF and Park County. After the Board receives a project proposal, legal wording for the ballot can be obtained (by May) and public meetings can be scheduled (for June and July); at this point, the Board is striving to have something in place for the November 2020 election with implementation planned for the 2021 season if approved by the voters.
