Mary Risser, Golden Spike National Monument Site Superintendent, wanted to recognize the inmate work crew program through the Sheriff’s Office. She said it is a wonderful program. They had three inmates and a deputy come out to the Golden Spike and help excavate one of the metal grate culverts. They found the largest wooden structure in the park and were able to reconstruct half of it. She said the program is a good source of labor and it was a good experience for the inmates and the Golden Spike Employees.
Ms. Risser said she has been given money for the Rural Fire Assistance Program. This year she will be receiving $18,500 for four of the volunteer fire departments: $5,000 - Box Elder County, $9,000 - Thatcher/Penrose, $2,500 - Corinne and $2,000 - Garland. She informed the Commissioners this is the last year the funds will be available. They have been reassigned to FEMA. Ms. Riser said she needed a signature from the County in order to get the transfer of funds. Chairman Rees signed the Cooperative Agreement Modification.
