Bear River council approves first reading to grant communications franchise to All West Wyoming Inc.

The Bear River town council on Feb. 10 approved the first reading of Ordinance 2026-02, which the agenda describes as "an ordinance of the Town of Bear River, Wyoming granting All West Wyoming Inc., its successors and assigns, a franchise for communication system." Speaker 2 moved to approve the first reading and Speaker 1 seconded; the council approved the motion by voice vote.

The first reading text was introduced during the new-business section of the meeting. The transcript records the ordinance title but does not include details about the franchise term, compensation, franchise area, or regulatory conditions. The council did not discuss specific contract terms or state a schedule for a second reading during the recorded discussion.

Because the transcript contains only the ordinance title and the motion to approve first reading, residents seeking terms, effective dates, or franchise conditions should consult the town clerk's office or the ordinance text once posted or provided at a subsequent meeting. The council took no further action on the ordinance during the session recorded in the transcript.
