Thayne Town Council Meeting
February 15th, 2010
Present:
Mayor Don Aullman.
Councilmembers:
Todd Luthi, Jim Bartleson and Lorell Woolley. Clerk Joan
Jensen.
Mayor Aullman called the meeting to order and welcomed
an audience that was filled to capacity. Mayor Aullman
asked Mr. Hoopes to lead us in the Pledge of Allegiance.
Chief Turner from the Thayne Fire Department was first
on the agenda.
Chief Turner introduced Frank Cancellieri to the
council and presented his resume to the council for them
to review.
The Thayne Volunteer Fire Department would like to add
Frank to their department as a training officer. Frank is above
the age limit but they would like to have him as a
training officer.
Frank is well accredited and has a lot of
experience in training.
Councilman Bartleson asked if inducting him as a
fireman would cause problems with the fire department
policy.
Chief Turner responded that the current fireman think
that he would be an asset to the fire department. Councilman
Bartleson made the motion to use Frank Cancellieri as a
training officer.
Councilman Luthi seconded the motion. Chief Turner
reported that the costs for the uniforms are going to be
quite a bit more than he anticipated because of the
badges and pins.
He will report back to the council when he gets
the correct prices.
The fire department has reviewed the drug policy
and was in agreement with the procedures.
The advertised public hearing for the Holdaway School
was next on the agenda.
Mayor Aullman explained to the audience that the
Town of Thayne was considering applying for a grant to
help them refurbish the old school into a civic center
for the town.
Mayor Aullman also informed the interested
entities that wanted to use the school that the Town of
Thayne would have to charge per square foot for the
space they used.
The Town of Thayne could not take on this project
without making sure that we had enough money in rent to
help pay for operating expenses. The Town of
Thayne will use the gym for their recreation programs
but will offer it to be used for other programs as well. Mayor Aullman
then opened the floor for public input.
Representatives from “Friends of the Library” expressed
their concern that they needed a larger library. Claudia informed
all those in attendance that the Town of Thayne was
letting them use their council chambers twice a week for
story time.
Claudia also expressed her opinion that the old school
would be a perfect place for a library. They could move
into the existing library which would more than double
their space and they would be in a central location in
the town where people could walk to it. Claudia explained
that last year they had 20,358 patrons come through
their doors.
Maradie stated that there were at least eighteen
children attending story time each week. With larger
facilities they would be able to offer more programs.
Ken Dana asked if it would be feasible to move the fire
department into the old school. Mayor Aullman
stated that he hated to put emergency services where
children will be.
The Lincoln Unita Child Development expressed their
desire to move their center into the old school. Kay Gogol stated
that they do a lot of things with the library and it
would be wonderful to have a central location where they
could do calibration with the different entities. Kay stated that
they have been cited by the fire marshal for not having
enough room for their programs and storage. She explained to
the council that they have long waiting lists and are
unable to service all the people that come into the
center. They
have 1,600 square feet that they are using with the
existing building and would like to at least double
their size.
Kay explained that they do a lot of programs with
community service agencies and it would be great to have
a place to meet with parents in a more isolated area for
privacy issues.
They would also be able to offer more programs
such as "Sensible Nutrition" and etc to the parents. Their program is
servicing seventy one children at this time. With the
increased space, they could project enrollment up to one
hundred and sixty.
They extended an invitation to the council to
visit their center and see how crowded they are.
Lincoln Self Reliance addressed the council next. Annette Eggleston
provided a pamphlet to the council for them to review
their programs.
They would like to use a section of the old
school for their program.
Annette explained that they face major challenges
with transportation of clients to the Afton facility. They would like
to have a day rehabilitation center located in Thayne in
the old school.
This would serve clients Monday thru Friday. Councilman Luthi
asked if they would use the gym for their programs. Annette explained
that their programs deal with specific social and self
help skills but that they would probably use the gym for
some things. Annette
stated that Thayne would be a great central location for
their programs.
Questions were asked to the council regarding Lincoln
County helping with the costs for the building and
putting county offices in the school. The parking lot
was also discussed that it needed to be enlarged. Mayor Aullman
informed the group that we were looking at demolition of
the old section of the school, except for the library,
and that would help create more parking. Council also
discussed the problem of disposing of the refuge and the
problems with asbestos.
Robert Hood, representative from Sunrise
Engineering, reported that a lot of the asbestos has
been removed but that he was researching this for the
town and demo costs.
Questions were asked regarding a time line for
this project.
Mayor Aullman stated that the Town of Thayne
would have to receive a grant from the Wyoming Business
Council in order to make this project happen. If we are
successful in obtaining a grant we would hope to have
the school ready for occupancy in a year from grant
approval.
Mayor Aullman asked for approval of Resolution 2010-1 in
authorizing the Town of Thayne to apply for a grant with
the Wyoming Business Council, Business Ready Community
Grant. This
grant will assist the town in financing this project. Councilman
Bartleson made the motion to apply for this grant. Councilman
Woolley seconded the motion.
Liquor License renewal for Dad’s Bar was approved in a
motion made by Councilman Bartleson. Councilman Luthi
seconded the motion.
Liquor License renewal for Pine's Bar was approved in a
motion made by Councilman Luthi pending they are current
with their LLC filings with the State of Wyoming. Councilman
Woolley seconded the motion.
Planning and Zoning presented two building permits for
the council approval; a sign permit for Curtis Haderlie
and an addition to the Valley Market. Mayor Aullman
commented that he had reviewed the plans for Valley
Market and that it met all the town’s requirements. Councilman
Bartleson made the motion to approve the building
permits.
Councilman Luthi seconded the motion.
Robert Hood reported to the council that he was working
with Clerk Jensen on some engineering figures for the
grant for the Holdaway School. Robert stated
that they had drawn up a floor plan that included all of
the three additions.
He presented a copy for the council to review. He explained what
sections would be demoed.
Robert also informed the council that the heating
system for the library had been upgraded. Council reviewed
the plans and what sections each entity was interested
in renting.
Robert reported that if each entity paid fifty cents a
square foot that the Town of Thayne would be able to pay
for maintenance and operations. Robert discussed
with the council that the school had put in nomadic
heating system which was a pretty good system. Robert felt that
the only downfall to this system was that there wasn’t
anyone around here who worked on this kind of system. Councilman Luthi
informed Robert that he needed to check with Long
Heating that was located in Jackson. They work on
these systems.
Robert also suggested that the carpet in the old
school needed to be replaced. The walls also
need to be painted.
With the demolition of the old section of the
school the town will need to hire an architect to help
with the new facade of the building and making sure that
each entity had its own entry. Councilman Luthi
suggested to Robert to have them check the trusses on
the new section to make sure they meet code.
Marlow Scherbel was next on the agenda. He reviewed his
findings with the council regarding the sewer land that
was in question.
His findings proved that the Town of Thayne does
have a legal easement to the sewer land from Roberts
Street. His
findings also proved that Deland Lainhart does not have
title to any of the Town of Thayne sewer land. A lengthy
discussion followed regarding the history of the sewer
land. Councilman
Bartleson made the motion to extend west boundary north
along sprinkler line to a point east of Test Well #2 (2nd
test well north of gate), thence west to existing fence,
then north to existing northeast corner of Lainhart
property.
There will be a thirty feet easement, fifteen feet on
each side of centerline from Roberts Street northerly. Councilman
Luthi seconded the motion. Surveyor
Scherbel also informed the council of some other
discrepancies that need to be addressed by the Town of
Thayne regarding overlaps and gaps with the sewer
property.
He also recommended that the town annex in the
sewer property that is not in city limits. Surveyor Scherbel
also noted that Roberts Street has not been dedicated as
a public road.
Council discussed that they would like him to
pursue these problems and make the necessary
corrections.
Fabyn Hanson reported to the council that he had
reviewed our ordinances and gave a copy to each council
member of violations that were done by his adjoining
neighbor.
Council reviewed the violations and stated that they
would contact the land owner and hear both sides of the
story before they made any decisions.
Ordinance #257 regarding the fifth penny tax was
approved on third reading. Councilman
Bartleson made the motion to approve the ordinance on
third reading.
Councilman Woolley seconded the motion.
Ron Coleman presented the maintenance report to the
councilmember’s.
Ron suggested different things that are in the
town’s new standard book that puts a lot of liability on
the town.
Council asked Ron to get with Robert Hood and bring back
to the council the changes that needed to be made. Ron also
reported that he had checked into OSHA requirements for
a lift and that we needed controls in the cage and also
on the backhoe.
Council instructed Ron to get some estimates on
lifts. Ron
also suggested that the town needed a trailer to haul
equipment.
Ron also suggested that the town needed a tripod and
harness to make us in compliance with OSHA for sewer
manholes.
Ron stated that he was certified for working in
confining spaces and that we needed to get Cliff
certified.
Ron will coordinate the training.
Councilman Woolley made the motion to accept the drug
testing with Advantage Testing and Professional
Services.
Councilman Luthi seconded the motion.
Clerk Jensen discussed the consensus grant with the
councilmember’s.
Clerk Jensen will contact Councilman Titensor
informing him of the project and to ask him to
coordinate with the Thayne Volunteer Fire Department
regarding this project.
Employee vacation
days were reviewed by the council and adopted in a
motion made by Councilman Luthi. Councilman
Woolley seconded the motion.
Council reviewed the canal landscaping proposals. Clerk Jensen will
contact Mr. Barnes and work on getting a bid proposal
ready.
Council reviewed the bills for payment. Councilman
Bartleson made the motion to pay the bills. Councilman Luthi
seconded the motion.
Mayor Aullman tabled the review of the Land Development
Code until the next regular council meeting.
