GILLETTE, WYOMING - The Campbell County Commission appears to have exceeded its authority when it dissolved several county boards.

A state Attorney General's opinion says the commission cannot dissolve the county library board because state law requires that and other boards. The library board was among six boards the commission decided to dissolve last fall, saying they were no longer needed.

Deputy County Attorney Carol Seeger says state law also requires museum and parks and recreation boards that the commission sought to dissolve. On the other hand, Seeger says that boards for the airport, fair and children's development services are not required and are okay to be dissolved by the commission.

Commission Chairman Roy Edwards said the matter will be discussed by the commission later this month.
