Natrona County Recreation Joint Powers Board

The Recreation Joint Powers Board supports recreation, education, and enrichment in Natrona County. The board, created in 2002, is a partnership between Natrona County, its municipalities, and the Natrona County School District. The five-person board is comprised of three NCSD trustees, one county commissioner, and one city council member from either Bar Nunn, Casper, Edgerton, Evansville, Midwest, or Mills. The board meets quarterly to hear grant requests for the use of the one-mill tax levied for recreational purposes in Natrona County.

 

Thirty percent of the tax income is managed by the Natrona County Recreation Joint Powers Board. This board uses the money to bestow grants on community organizations for recreational services, facilities, and activities.
