8. Jim Webb from Lower Valley Energy presented information to the board about natural gas buses. Consumers have approached Lower Valley Energy about having natural gas available for vehicles. Governor Mead has been working on a plan to promote natural gas vehicles in the state of Wyoming. Mr. Webb shared some of the benefits of natural gas buses: the cost of fuel consumption is considerably less, natural gas is a lot cleaner than alternative fuels, natural gas vehicles tend to last longer and are a lot safer. Mr. Webb asked the board for a letter of support for natural gas buses. One of the disadvantages is the infrastructure- filling stations, etc. Mr. Petersen asked about a cost comparison between a natural gas bus and a regular diesel bus. A bus that runs on natural gas is about $60,000 more right now than a diesel bus. Chairman Hunsaker asked for the boards’ feelings on providing a letter of support for natural gas buses. Mr. Linford offered his support. Mr Hunsaker asked about a fueling station and if the district would need to install one. Mr. Webb responded that for the convenience of filling the buses the district most likely would want to install their own filling station. The vision of Lower Valley Energy is that they would have something available for the public. Mr. Hunsaker asked about the interior heat of the bus from a natural gas. Natural gas burns a lot cooler so some sort of booster would need to be available.
Mr. Petersen made a motion for the board to offer a letter of support for Lower Valley Energy and natural gas vehicles.
Motion by Stewart Petersen, second by Eileen Merritt Final Resolution: Motion Carries
Yea: Mike Hunsaker, Alan Linford, Eileen Merritt, Stewart Petersen, Tyler Brog, Reynold Johnson, Karen Tallerico

11. Business Manager JC Inskeep reported the monthly financial update.
12. Chairman Hunsaker provided direction for board travel or attendance at activities. Board Procedures reviewed included: citizen request/complaint to a board member, employee request/complaint to individual board member and board member visit to school campus. Mrs. Merritt asked for board approval to travel to the district office on a monthly basis to review the bills. The board gave their consensus that request would be approved.
13. Current enrollment figures were reviewed. Enrollment decreased nine students during the month of November. Supt. Abrams also reviewed attendance figures for November.
14. Correspondence recently received by the district was reviewed.
15. Alan Linford made the motion to retain area the boundary map that was approved in October. Motion by Alan Linford, second by Tyler Brog Final Resolution: Motion Carries

ORDINANCE 607
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE GOVERNING BODY OF THE TOWN OF AFTON
FLOOD DAMAGE MITIGATION
This Ordinance provides for flood damage prevention and mitigation in the     Town of Afton and provides for an effective date of 1/1/2012.
This Ordinance shall replace the existing Title 11 in its entirety and be entered into the Town Code in accordance with the following:
Title 11 – Flood Damage Mitigation
Chapter 1 – Statutory Authorization, Findings of Fact, Purpose and Methods
Sections:
11.01.010 Statutory Authorization
11.01.020 Findings of Fact
11.01.030 Statement of Purpose
11.01.040 Methods of Reducing Flood Losses
11.01.010 Statutory Authorization
The Legislature of the State of Wyoming has delegated the responsibility to local governmental units to adopt regulations designed to minimize flood losses.
Therefore, the governing body of Afton, Wyoming does ordain as follows:
11.01.020 Findings of Fact
A. Some areas in the Town of Afton may be subject to periodic inundation (flood-prone areas) which could result in loss of life and property, pose health and safety hazards, disrupt commerce and governmental services, and cause extraordinary public expenditures for flood protection and relief, all of which adversely affect the public health, safety and general welfare.
B. These flood losses are increased by the cumulative effect of obstructions in flood-prone areas which cause an increase in flood heights and velocities, and by the occupancy of flood hazard areas by uses vulnerable to floods and hazardous to other lands because they are inadequately elevated, flood proofed or otherwise protected from flood damage.
C. The Town of Afton includes alluvial fans, one of which contains numerous abandoned drainage ways and a perennial stream. The parcels occurring on these features may be subject to alluvial fan flooding.
11.01.030 Statement of Purpose
It is the purpose of this title to promote the public health, safety and general welfare and to minimize public and private losses due to flood conditions in specific areas by provisions designed to:
A. Protect human life and health;
B. Minimize expenditure of public money for costly flood control projects;
C. Minimize the need for rescue and relief efforts associated with flooding and generally undertaken at the expense of the general public;
D. Minimize prolonged business interruptions;
E. Minimize damage to public facilities and utilities such as water and gas mains,     electric, telephone and sewer lines, streets and bridges located in flood-prone areas;
F. Help maintain a stable tax base by providing for the sound use and development of flood-prone areas;
G. Provide mapping information for buyers and owners to determine if property is in a potential flood-prone area; and
H. Provide available information so that persons occupying potential flood-prone areas can take precautions that minimize potential impacts.
11.01.040 Methods of Reducing Flood Losses
In order to accomplish its purposes, this title uses the following methods:
A. Restrict or prohibit uses that are dangerous to health, safety or property in times of flood, or cause excessive increases in flood heights or velocities;
B. Require that uses vulnerable to floods, including facilities which serve such uses, be protected against flood damage at the time of initial construction;
C. Control the alteration of natural flood-prone areas, drainage ways, and natural protective barriers which are involved in the accommodation of flood waters;
D. Control filling, grading, dredging and other development which may increase flood damage;
E. Prevent or regulate the construction of flood barriers which will unnaturally     divert flood waters or which may increase flood hazards to other lands.
F. Regulate new construction in flood-prone areas so that it complies with this title.

For flood plain management purposes, “new construction” means structures for which the “start of construction” commenced on or after the effective date of a flood plain management regulation adopted by the Town of Afton and the start of construction of any improvements to structures.
NEW MANUFACTURED HOME PARK OR SUBDIVISION – means a manufactured home park or subdivision for which the construction of facilities for servicing the lots on which the manufactured homes are to be affixed (including at a minimum, the installation of utilities, the construction of streets, and either final site grading or the pouring of concrete pads) is completed on or after the effective date of flood plain management regulations adopted by a community.
RECREATIONAL VEHICLE – means a vehicle which is:
1. built on a single chassis;
2. 400 square feet or less when measured at the largest horizontal projections;
3. designed to be self-propelled or permanently towable by a light duty truck; and
4. designed primarily not for use as a permanent dwelling but as temporary living quarters for recreational, camping, travel, or seasonal use
START OF CONSTRUCTION – (for other than new construction or substantial improvements under the Coastal Barrier Resources Act (Pub. L. 97-348)), includes substantial improvement and means the date the building permit was issued, provided the actual start of construction, repair, reconstruction, rehabilitation, addition, placement, or other improvement was within 180 days of the permit date. The actual start means either the first placement of permanent construction of a structure on a site, such as the pouring of slab or footings, the installation of piles, the construction of columns, or any work beyond the stage of excavation; or the placement of a manufactured home on a foundation. Permanent construction does not include land preparation, such as clearing, grading and filling; nor does it include the installation of streets and/or walkways; nor does it include excavation for basement, footings, piers or foundations or the erection of temporary forms; nor does it include the installation on the property of accessory buildings, such as garages or sheds not occupied as dwelling units or not part of the main structure. For a substantial improvement, the actual start of construction means the first alteration of any wall, ceiling, floor, or other structural part of a building, whether or not that alteration affects the external dimensions of the building.
STRUCTURE – means a walled and roofed building, including a gas or liquid storage tank that is principally above ground, as well as a manufactured home.
SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE – means damage of any origin sustained by a structure whereby the cost of restoring the structure to its before damaged condition would equal or exceed 50 percent of the market value of the structure before the damage occurred.
SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENT – means any reconstruction, rehabilitation, addition, or other improvement of a structure, the cost of which equals or exceeds 50 percent of the market value of the structure before “start of construction” of the improvement. This includes structures which have incurred “substantial damage”, regardless of the actual repair work performed. The term does not, however, include either:
1. Any project for improvement of a structure to correct existing violations of state or local health, sanitary, or safety code specifications which have been identified by the local code enforcement official and which are the minimum necessary conditions or
2. Any alteration of a “historic structure” provided that the alteration will not preclude the structure’s continued designation as a “historic structure.”
VARIANCE – is a grant of relief to a person from the requirement of this title when specific enforcement would result in unnecessary hardship.
VIOLATION – means the failure to be fully compliant with the community’s flood plain management regulations.
WATER SURFACE ELEVATION – means the height, in relation to the National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD) of 1929 (or other datum, where specified), of floods of various magnitudes and frequencies in the flood plains of coastal or riverine areas.

Chapter 3 – General Provision
Sections:
11.03.010 Lands to Which this Title Applies
11.03.020 Basis for Establishing the Areas of Special Flood Hazard
11.03.030 Establishment of Development Permit
11.03.040 Compliance
11.03.050 Abrogation and Greater Restrictions
11.03.060 Interpretation
11.03.010 Lands to Which this Title Applies
The title shall apply to all flood prone areas within the jurisdiction of the Town of Afton, Wyoming.
11.03.020 Basis for Establishing the Areas of Special Flood Hazard
A. The Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has completed a re-evaluation of flood hazards in the Town of Afton and produced a Flood Insurance Study (FIS) report and Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) for Lincoln County and Incorporated Areas. The Firm and FIS report for Lincoln County which included Afton show no known special flood hazard areas to exist within the corporate limits of Afton. Special Flood Hazard Areas are areas subject to inundation by a flood having a 1-percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year (base flood). The base flood is the national standard on which the flood insurance and flood plain management requirements of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) are based.
B. Since areas of special flood hazard have not been identified, water surface elevations have not been provided, nor has sufficient data identifying the flood way been provided by any source, the Town of Afton obtained, reviewed, and reasonably utilized data available from Federal, State and other sources.
C. The Town of Afton considers the potential area of special flood hazard as occurring within Alluvial Fan Flood Overlay areas.
D. Land features within the Alluvial Fan Flood Overlay areas that the Town recognizes to have a greater potential of becoming flood ways include these features and nearby areas:
1. The natural channels of the North, Middle, and South Branches of Cedar Creek.
2. The natural and artificial channels of Prater and Green Creeks.
3. Traces of abandoned drainage ways of Cedar Creek.
11.03.030 Compliance
No structure or land shall hereafter be altered or have its use changed without compliance with the terms of this title and other applicable regulations.
11.03.040 Abrogation and Greater Restrictions
This ordinance is not intended to repeal, abrogate, or impair any existing easements, covenants, or deed restrictions. However, where this ordinance and another ordinance, easement, covenant, or deed restriction conflict or overlap, whichever imposes the more stringent restrictions shall prevail.
11.03.050 Interpretation
In the interpretation and application of this title, all provisions shall be;
A. Considered as minimum requirements;
B. Liberally construed in favor of the governing body; and
C. Deemed neither to limit nor repeal any other powers granted under State statutes.
11.03.060 Warning and Disclaimer or Liability
The degree of flood protection required by this title is considered reasonable for regulatory purposes and is based on scientific and engineering considerations. On rare occasions greater floods can and will occur and flood heights may be increased by man-made or natural causes. This title does not imply that land outside the areas of special flood hazards or uses permitted within such areas will be free from flooding or flood damages. This title shall not create liability on the part of the Town of Afton or any official or employee thereof for any flood damages that result from reliance on this title or any administrative decision lawfully made thereunder.

Published:     January 19, 2012
Discussion was held regarding Ordinance 608, an ordinance that provides procedures for the abatement of properties within the Town of Afton that have been deemed a nuisance. Ordinance 608 was passed on first reading on November 8, 2011, and tabled on December 13, 2011.   Councilman Inskeep informed the Council that a group meeting was recently held pertaining to the proposed ordinance.  Councilman Inskeep advised that some of the recommendations from the group included changing the word nuisance due to the fact that the ordinance is pertaining to the health, safety and welfare of individuals.   After further discussion, it was determined that the group would meet with Town Attorney Allred to possibly reword the ordinance and further define the ordinance.  The Council took no action at this time until further research has been conducted.
Mayor Hillyard presented the survey forms that were recently received from individuals regarding the possibility of Swift Creek Canyon becoming a state park.  After some discussion, Councilman Hoopes advised that he would like to research this matter further and may possibly be in favor of a state park if it helps with vandalism.  Councilman Inskeep expressed that at this time he would like to abandon the idea due to the fact that he was unsure of how a state park could be accommodated in such a small area.  Councilman Kilroy stated that he would like to receive additional information on the project.  Councilman Titensor expressed his concerns regarding the issue that if the canyon does becomes a state park then both the state and federal government may control it.  Councilman Titensor stated that he would recommend that another public hearing be held after additional information is assembled.  Mayor Hillyard advised that she would like to proceed cautiously and is not willing to commit either way at this time.  Mayor Hillyard expressed that she too would like to research this matter further.  It was determined that Town Administrator Sanderson will contact the Administrator of the State Parks, Historic Sites & Trails to request that additional information be provided pertaining to the proposed state park before any further action is taken by the Council.
Mayor Hillyard presented an agreement between the Town of Afton and the W. Tom Davis Revocable Trust pertaining to the Snow Shoe Hollow Ski Hill property.  At the call of the Mayor, Councilman Inskeep made a motion to accept the agreement as presented, seconded by Councilman Hoopes.  Motion carried.
Councilman Titensor discussed Doyle Child Circle and advised that a street sign needs to be placed there.   Councilman Titensor also advised that a street light may need to be placed in the area as well.  It was determined that the Afton Police Department will research this matter further and determine if other areas of the Town may be in need of street lights for safety purposes.
Discussion was held regarding the regular February Town Council meeting scheduled for February 14, 2012.   It was determined that some of the council members would not be able to attend on that date.  Councilman Inskeep made a motion to change the regular February Town Council Meeting date to Monday, February 13, 2012.  Councilman Titensor seconded the motion.  Motion carried.
Mr. Randy Sanderson, Town Administrator, presented the general fund balance for the Town of Afton as of December 31, 2011.  Mr. Sanderson also presented the financial statements for the period ending December 31, 2011.
Discussion was held regarding the employee department reports.  After some discussion, Councilman Inskeep made a motion to move the department reports to the beginning of the council meeting agenda and to only discuss the items that are required rather than each department head presenting a report.  Councilman Titensor seconded the motion.  Motion carried.  The department reports will be held at 4:00 p.m. at the regularly scheduled Afton Town Council meetings and will be held before executive session.
In accordance with the provisions of Wyoming Statutes 115-1-110, the name, position, and gross monthly salary, not including benefits such as health insurance and retirement of the chief administrative officials, department heads, and elected officials are published.  In addition, the gross monthly salary for each full time employee, employed by the Town of Afton without the names of the employee, excluding benefits such as health insurance and retirement are as follows:
