Lehwalder, Rotary Public Relations2007 January 19th - Parks Initiative - petition At the October Town Meeting, the Sheridan Town Council voted unanimously to seek formation of the "Sheridan Park District" for the purpose of betterment, operation, maintenance and administration of specific park and recreation land within the District. The proposed subject parks would include the swimming pool, the baseball park, and the soon to be constructed walking trail. The most important reasons for taking this step are: 1. The subject parks and recreation property are used by the whole valley, not just the residents of the Town of Sheridan. However, the parks and recreation property are currently paid for through taxes on only town property. Assessing a "per-household" fee would more evenly spread the costs of operating these recreational properties among all the users. 2. The Town Council of Sheridan has many projects and tasks to accomplish. The highest priority at this time is the water improvement project, followed directly thereafter by the sewer improvement project. With a volunteer board and mayor, our time and energy are spread very thin. Anyone who has attended one of the monthly board meetings can attest to the volume of tasks that are faced. With formation of a 'Sheridan Park District' a separate independent board would be created to manage the recreational properties within the District. Upon Certification of a petition, the county commissioners will hold a public hearing and consider adopting a resolution of intent to create the district. If adopted the question will appear on the ballot in May 2007 and must pass by a majority of the voters voting in that election. If passed, a 3 or 5 member volunteer board would be appointed by the Commission initially, with members elected for subsequent terms. The maximum fee of $25.00 per household would be assessed annually to each household.

Nov 28th Letters of Support needed for Town of Sheridan Storm Water project Dear Town, RVCD, RWC, NRCS, FWP, Madison County, and interested citizens, As most of you know, storm water in Sheridan is a problem and the town of Sheridan is requesting 319 funding to design and build an improved storm water system. Attached is the draft grant application. Jason Knapp is revising the application and as part of this he needs to provide letters of support. I met with the RWC on the project last September, so I assume they know about the project and can write a letter of support. However, more are needed. Residents, town council members, the RVCD, NRCS, FWP, county are all good.
Jason is getting a support letter from MDT since they are a project partner, so if you could please help the town by using one of the example support letters attached, and send it to the address on the letter it will increase the odds of getting the funding.
Please let Jason know that you are sending a letter because he needs to list who is sending them in the application!
Just email me or Jason at This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it you are sending one in.....Please it just takes a few minutes and we need to know if you are doing it by Thursday noon! You can send the letter in next week and we only need your commitment by tomorrow.
Please call me if you need additional information or if you have questions. Sincerely
Scott M. Payne, R.G.

VOTE - by Mayor Chris Mumme Nov 4th I don’t know if it is because it is cold and dark outside, or I am just in one of those moods, but at this moment I am angry. “Why?” you ask. Well let me tell you. Recently, our new Public Works Director, Don Bair, asked me what I want to do about replacing the lights on Hamilton Street and also the restrooms in the parks. Naturally, I was a bit inquisitive about this situation because our Town has poured quite a bit of money into these bathrooms and also those solar lights. Once again, vandalism has reared its ugly head.
MAYOR'S UPDATE 26 October, 2006 Where has the time gone? The World Series is in full swing, no pun intended, Sheridan Football is already for the playoffs, hunting season is wearing a lot of us out and yet we have no new distribution system for our water.
We have accumulated all the grants we can totaling $1.1 million and also some extra funds from WRDA & STAG worth another $740,000. I am happy to say that we now have the money to start the project. It has been decided by the Town Council that in light of the time of year, it would be prudent to wait until Spring, most likely May 2007, to start the construction so we do not have a bunch of torn up roads during the winter.
