The Laramie City Council on April 7, 2026, approved an 8-0 consent agenda and unanimously voted to advance a slate of infrastructure, economic development and personnel items.
The consent agenda — approved 8-0 — included minutes from recent council and board meetings, cemetery deeds and vouchers, approval of a temporary-use alcohol permit and renewal applications for 2026 liquor licenses, Resolution 2026-26 establishing the city’s federal transit Title VI program, and third and final readings of ordinances 2118, 2119 and 2120, which respectively repeal the surface water drainage utility, amend nuisance-abatement provisions in Title 8, and amend parts of Title 15 related to the unified development code.
Among regular-agenda items, the council approved Resolution 2026-24 to grant emeritus status to Larry Foyanini for his years of service on the Parks, Tree and Recreation Advisory Board; the presenter said Foyanini’s service began in December 2013 and the resolution passed 8-0.
The council also awarded a contract to Fremont Electric to supply a backup generator for the municipal operations building. The presenter said the project will provide reliable backup power, support safe operations and equipment deployment, and that the use of natural gas improves emissions performance; the contract was approved 8-0.
Council members approved a loan from the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund to support the Zone 1 Tank Project, which the presenter described as critical for maintenance and improvement of the city’s water infrastructure. The presenter reported the loan passed 8-0.
The council adopted Resolution 2026-25 declaring the West Side Study Area blighted under Wyoming Statute 15-9-107. The presenter summarized the staff analysis, noting limited utilities and floodplain conditions that make private development likely cost-prohibitive without urban renewal powers; the resolution passed 8-0.
Finally, the council approved an agreement with the Wyoming Business Council to support expansion of WyoTech, including construction of a new facility to house a welding program and a new heavy-diesel program, plus expanded diesel and trim programs; the agreement was approved 8-0.
The meeting recap closed with an invitation to the council’s next regular meeting on April 21 and a link to the city’s agenda page for more information.
