Commissioners review annual reports

In a regular board meeting of the Cheyenne County Commissioners, members received annual reports from the County Guardian ad Litem Attorney (GAL) and the County Public Defender.

Last year, Commissioners made the decision to take bids for the two positions to reduce costs to the county in the event a GAL or Public Defender has to be brought in from other areas.

Cheyenne County GAL, Audrey Elliot and Cheyenne County Public Defender, Don Miller were offered two year contracts from the county in April of 2016.

It’s a decision that is already beginning to pay off. According to Cheyenne County Clerk, Beth Fiegenschuh, since the contracts were offered Cheyenne County has saved $51,519 compared to 2016.

The next regular board meeting for the Cheyenne County Board of Commissioners will be held on June 5 at 8 a.m. in the Cheyenne County Courthouse, located at 1000 10th Ave. in Sidney.
