Buffalo Council Considers Mayor’s Appointments

The Buffalo City Council considered the approval of the recommendations from Mayor Shane Schrader for appointments to various boards.

Mayor Schrader had recommended Anita Peoples to a three-year term on the Lodging Tax Board (JCTA), which the council voted to approve.

Beau Fowler had submitted a Letter of Interst in a three-year term on the Kaycee-Buffalo-Johnson County Economic Development Joint Powers Board (JOCO First).

Vice-Mayor Myra Camino said she felt there may be a conflict of interest in appointing him, and explained further.

Camino said according to Wyoming Association of Municipalities guidelines, there are four types of conflicts of interest: financial, professional, personal, and prejudicial.

The appointment of Fowler died due to a lack of a motion.
