PINEDALE – Pinedale Town Council members gathered at their June 27 regular meeting to consider the 2022 resolution setting rates and fees effective July 1. The resolution contained minor changes to several fees levied by the town for municipal services.
These included a 2-percent increase in fees for hangar leases at the Pinedale Airport. Rates for sewer and water connections will also go up to account for inflation in meter-pit equipment and supplies, allowing the town to recover the cost of installation, said Abram Pearce, director of public works.
Town staff is currently studying sewer rates as part of the Sewer Master Plan. If the town recommends a sewer fee hike, the council will hold multiple meetings permitting the public to comment on any proposal before it would go into effect.
Town staff encouraged the community to check town meeting agendas posted on the town’s website for future discussions on sewer fees. The meetings will also be advertised, said Mayor Matt Murdock.

The town’s Transportation Master Plan and pedestrian safety study went out to bid, with Jorgensen receiving the award, Pearce reported. Town staff and members of Jorgensen’s intend to meet to establish the scope of both projects before bringing a draft to the council, Pearce added.
Plans are underway for HK Contractors to make minor asphalt repairs on a portion of the runway at the Pinedale Airport, Pearce told councilmembers. The repair was expected to be finished in mid-July, he said.
Thirty days after the completion of the asphalt repair, grooving the runway will begin during the night, with completion expected before temperatures begin to drop in late August, Pearce added.
Councilmembers unanimously approved a temporary use permit for the Rocky Mountain Short Takeoff and Landing Series to host an aviation competition at the Pinedale Airport, Aug. 11-14.
