Following discussion about the public works facility, the commissioners will host a preliminary budget discussion. Discussions about the upcoming 2024-2025 budget have already started, with the budget process continuing through the final adoption of the budget in June.
Also on the commissioners’ agenda is the possible approval of an agreement between the USDA, the Ashley National Forest and the county for office space at the county’s Roosevelt building in Green River. The building is home to Golden Hour Senior Center and initially housed some county offices before the completion of the county’s Health and Human Services Building in Rock Springs.
