The Casper City Council on June 16 adopted the municipal budget for fiscal year 2027 and approved multiple ordinances, contracts and routine consent items.
Budget adoption: After opening a public hearing and noting required exhibits, the council adopted a resolution making appropriations for fiscal year 2027 (July 1, 2026 ' June 30, 2027). City Manager Janine Jordan summarized the timeline of the budget process, and no members of the public spoke for or against the proposed budget. The council adopted the resolution by unanimous recorded voice vote.
Other votes at a glance: The council approved on third reading an ordinance amending municipal code sections to allow the keeping of domesticated fowl within city limits; staff said additional ordinance cleanups (setbacks, coop construction) will be returned to council for further clarification. The council also authorized an agreement with Casper Tinop LLC for rooftop HVAC replacement at the recreation center; the motion passed unanimously.
Consent items and minute actions: Council adopted a package of consent resolutions that included a Community Development Block Grant agreement (approximately $1,013,649) with the Wyoming Community Development Authority for the Juniper Ridge Siding Repair Project in partnership with the Wyoming Housing Network, authorized pathway and lighting grant work at the Ford Wyoming Center, and approved various contracts and amendments for animal facility design, sewer repairs, campground upgrades and other routine municipal services. Minute actions included liquor-license transfers (Denny's; Hyatt Place), the write-off of uncollectible accounts ($49,813.62), equipment purchases and an appointment to a joint powers board.
What this means: The approvals advance core municipal services and capital work for fiscal 2027 while returning several items for staff follow-up (notably additional ordinance clarifications for domesticated fowl). Several council members used the announcements section to highlight upcoming community events, regional board meetings and civic volunteer efforts.
