Town helps YHC with electrical systems upgrades

Council members were unanimously in favor to approve the Agreement for Reimbursement for Construction Services with the Yellowstone Historic Center as well as a claim for reimbursement for the YHC Museum project at last Tuesday's regular town council meeting.

"We probably need some kind of formal request to do something like that," Johnson said. ".

Council members also agreed to sign a letter with the Fiscal Year 2011 audit results.

The Town of West Yellowstone and the YHC have an agreement that the town will fund the electrical portion of the project up to $35,000.

West Yellowstone residents have started meeting weekly to form a garden club.

The April 3 regular town council meeting has been rescheduled, with several council members planning to be out of town during the first week of the month.

The next regular town council meeting is scheduled for 7 p.

Club members have been looking at grants, but most grants have been given out for the 2012 year, according to Richey.

The new appliances should be delivered within four to six weeks once they are ordered.

During the public comment period, garden club organizer Betty Richey informed the council that she has discussed the idea with library director Bruce McPherson.

In other business, council members approved a request from Hebgen Basin Fire District Fire Chief Scott Waldron for the town to act as a subgrantee.

Council members approved the request and will act as the subgrantee for a Federal Emergency Management Agency Hazard Mitigation Grant Program grant for the purchase and installation of a generator at the Emergency Services Building. on Tuesday, April 17. The meeting will be held at the Povah Community Center.

He stated in the letter that it will not cost the town anything and that the fire district will deliver the cost share amount (for the grant).

In a letter submitted to council members, Waldron outlined that fire districts are not considered to meet the criteria for a subgrantee.
