Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon formally announced more than 100 appointments to a host of state boards, commissions and committees last week, with several Park County residents making the list.

JD Radakovich, the manager of the sprawling Hunt Energy-owned Hoodoo Ranch outside of Cody, has been named to the Wyoming Environmental Quality Council. The council serves as an independent body that reviews decisions relating to “the prevention, reduction and elimination of pollution — and preservation of Wyoming’s water, air and land quality.” The panel generally hears various disputes related to environmental permitting.

Meanwhile, Lee Craig of Powell — who previously led the Park County Farm Service Agency — has been named to the Water Development Commission. The commission reviews and approves various water projects aimed at promoting “the optimal development of the state’s human, industrial, mineral, agricultural, water and recreational resources.”

Additionally, Dr. Edith Ester Saville of Cody was reappointed to the Wyoming Board of Psychology, which oversees professionals in that field, while Steve Schrepferman of Cody was reappointed to the Wyoming Arts Council.

Ashlee Lundvall of Cody was also named to the Wyoming Game and Fish Commission (see related story).

No Big Horn County residents were among the 104 appointments announced by Gordon on Friday.

All of the governor’s picks are subject to Senate approval, but it’s rare for an appointment to draw any opposition, let alone be rejected by lawmakers.
