City Council

The Laramie City Council will consider whether to approve an expenditure for a one-time employee stipend for city employees during their regular meeting tomorrow night.

The program will replace the 'free' landfill day that has been offered to city and county residents in the past.

Last night marked the first of four listening sessions one one of Laramie's hottest topics.

Laramie Mayor Andrea Summerville said the City Council will meet with the Laramie Board of Health to discuss how to keep the health inspector position and the fee schedule that will make it possible.

Councilors will consider a resolution to amend the city’s budget in light of a steep decline in state-shared revenue, which was expected to be reduced by 43 percent.

Summerville said while the city council usually holds a meeting every year regarding economic development, this year is particularly important because of the significant change in the city’s funding.

Mayor Andrea Summerville said the city council wanted more information on certain aspects of the proposed ordinance before they moved forward with the second reading.

The ordinance would make it illegal to fire employees or refuse to provide housing or other services on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.
