GREEN RIVER The Green River City Council unanimously approved alterations to take place at The Mast Lounge to allow the building to open as a bar.
Thomas Eddy, owner of The Mast, addressed the Council during the March 2 meeting to try to obtain a non-conforming use permit placed back onto the building which would allow him to open the establishment as a strip club.
However, the Council said they would not allow the building to be used as a non-conforming use, and that the structure lost its non-conforming use due to not being in use for 18 consecutive months. According to the city ordinance, if active and continuous operation of a nonconforming use is discontinued for a period of 18 consecutive months, the structure loses its non-conforming use and can only be used for a conforming use.
ROCK SPRINGS After much discussion, the Rock Springs City Council decided it did not have the funding available to help Sweetwater County fund the ambulance service and is asking the Sweetwater County Commission to extend its contacts with both ambulance services until June 1, 2021.
The Council unanimously approved writing a letter to the commissioners letting them know they would like to continue working together to find a solution for ambulance service funding, however it cannot help fund the service at this time. Rock Springs Mayor Tim Kaumo said he will also ask the Commissioners to extend those contracts to June 2021 to give the organizations more time to try and come up with a short-term funding solution.
