“Councilor O'Doherty. So water usage went up. Is that what you... Yeah.”
“Another dumb question. It wouldn't be produced if it wasn't being demanded, right?”
“councillor o'doherty yeah i remembered uh we were i my understanding is that you were trying to ease up on the aquifer so that uh the other people depending on the aquifer outside the city wouldn't have their wells go down is that did that have anything to do with being nice to people in the county”
“This this increased it wasn't there a big water break this summer on the south end of town where a whole lot of water was lost not city not on city property but on private property so could that account for some of the increase because that was this water period, right?”
“I move that the agenda be changed such that item 9E be moved to 11M. Second.”
“Okay. I move that the agenda be set as submitted.”
“I move that the consent agenda be approved and that each specific action on the consent agenda be approved as indicated.”
“I move that Laramie City Council approve resolution 2026-65, rejecting all bids received for the cured in-place pipe project fiscal year 27 and authorize the mayor and clerk to sign.”
“How old is that elevator? It doesn't seem very old to me, but it's probably older than the housing.”
“When I was reading over the documents, I thought I read some, well, I thought there was something about water. Is this gonna also serve as a detention pond?”
“I really like the idea of dual-purpose park space. I worry about the maintenance of yet another park, and I asked for that for a work session, so I guess we'll be discussing that in the future. So, anyway, I'm... I would love to be able to take advantage of our detention ponds. One kind of neighborhood over, there hasn't ever been a park, and so I'm a little jealous of my neighbors to the east. But anyway, I'm happy to have some water retention in some form. Thanks. Thank you.”
“Is this instead of the other Head Start building?”
“Can I follow up? Follow up. So they have transportation because it seems like it's going to be in a neighborhood that probably needs Head Start less than where it was.”
“I appreciate us still working on child care. It's been more than an elevator's worth of time since I had to deal with it, but I remember how stressful it was trying to find child care for babies, and also I'm glad that we have this opportunity.”
“Can someone explain to me the order of operations? I don't feel like I should be the one for a mill levy. I feel like that should be up to those businesses. And then if they want to do it, then we're like, yeah, fine with us. I would be uncomfortable with the city council approving a mill levy before the DDA? I mean, so what's the order of operations there for something like that to happen? I don't want it on my shoulders, frankly.”
“To clarify for the public, if you're not looking at the document, it's 113 pages, but it's a lot of pictures and maps, so it's really not like reading the BBB. It's pretty digestible, and it's also put in a way to make it digestible, and I'm so impressed with the downtown... going into the space and seeing people, I mean, to have that sitting there, the museum or whatever down at the Main Street office where they shared that it was such an inviting space. People that use downtown were the natural people to wander in there, right? And so they got a lot of feedback from people who use downtown.…”
“Councillor O'Doherty. I'm happy to support this because I thought the originally it was kind of a snobby thing to not allow metal siding. So I support this.”
“Councilor O'Doherty. My unofficial feedback is a lot of people had questions like what the heck's going on there? And then they found out and people weren't worried about it.”
“Yeah, you said you can't second, so the EMS update... Well, I can second that.”
“I want to welcome everybody. Thank you. We need always need as much input from as many people as possible. So thank you very much for attending.”
“I was wondering if you could explain the difference between the fair market value and the assessed value, because I usually kind of get mixed up with it. And I'm hoping that I'm not the only person or you know, so if you could, so that 6000 comes off of the assessed value, which is already less than the fair market. Could you explain? Thank you.”
“is that good good counselor doherty follow up so that's six thousand off that's coming off of it's already reduced it's nine point five percent of the original and then it's six thousand off of that let's go through you vice chair yes that is correct for the veterans exemption it is six thousand dollars off of the”
“Kelsora Doherty. I just would like you to clarify the wind, the wind revenue, that's for the construction of the turbines. It's not ongoing, right? That's why it's a one time.”
“Thank you. That inflation does that include like health insurance? I know those costs go up a lot.”
“Can you remind me where vehicle taxes go? Do they go to the general fund of the county or does that go for roads?”
