Albany County Government - County Commissioners Regular Meeting - 10/20/2026

Albany County Commissioners regular meeting, October 20, 2026. Commissioners approved final acceptance of the courthouse double-sided electronic monument display installed by Slauser Signs Inc.; the contract totaled $117,435, with $5,871.75 in retainage to be paid after final-payment advertising. They also approved the Prairie Equipment LLC construction contract for the Fairgrounds Grandstand demolition project, based on a previously approved quote of approximately $42,000 (the exact amount was unclear in the transcript). An intergovernmental MOU was approved for impact assistance related to the Cheyenne Prairie Generation Station expansion; Albany County is seeking just over $400,000 for sheriff overtime coverage and search-and-rescue equipment, subject to review by the Industrial Siting Committee. Commissioners approved applications for a historic-preservation grant and a Bureau of Justice Assistance vest grant to support 12 replacement vests. The historic-preservation project is estimated at nearly $100,000 and includes contributions of $10,000 from the City of Laramie and $5,000 each from Laramie Main Street Association and Visit Laramie, plus an anticipated university internship valued at about $3,000; no county funding was requested at this stage.

The board approved a Wyoming Department of Health/Sheriff’s Office contract for Title VII holds and competency evaluations, with reimbursement rates of $100 per day for holds and $250 per day for tier-two care, and approved an amendment extending the treatment-services contract with the Clinic for Mental Health and Wellness. The proposed award of a comprehensive classification and compensation study to Evergreen Solutions—selected from six RFP responses—was tabled until November 9 so commissioners could better assess budget constraints. Two federal grant agenda items were removed because of SAM.gov registration issues. Commissioners also discussed the Fair Board’s decision not to renew Feeding Laramie Valley’s fairgrounds MOU, citing unpaid storage charges and site conditions; no board action was taken, but commissioners requested an actionable operating and remediation plan by year-end, including plans for stored items and shared educational use of the space. October payroll and vouchers were approved; the transcript did not state a total.
