City of Rock Springs Council Meeting October 20, 2026

The October 20, 2026, Rock Springs City Council meeting approved a contract award to TenPoint Sales and Marketing LLC for a replacement sewer-inspection vehicle and equipment for $487,871. The amount was slightly above the $450,000 budget; the other bid was disqualified for not meeting specifications. Council also approved an agreement with United Diagnostic Services LLC for on-site ultrasound cancer screenings for the Fire Department, to be paid from the department’s physicals budget with potential workers’ compensation reimbursement, and an alcohol and tobacco inspection contract with the Wyoming Association of Sheriffs and Chiefs of Police. No contract amounts were stated for those agreements. The council also approved 2027 health insurance premiums, HSA contributions and stop-loss provisions, including a Blue Cross Blue Shield of Wyoming renewal, without stating amounts. These approvals passed unanimously.

The council approved a $55,000 claim settlement with Gordon Crofts. Members and public commenters also discussed the Civic Center’s financial outlook and maintenance needs, including an engineering estimate of $15.7 million over 20 years (about $5.6 million in the first two years); no Civic Center funding or procurement action was taken. The council discussed amendments to the proposed e-bike and scooter ordinance, including enforceability and safety provisions; the provided transcript ends during the amendment vote, so its final outcome is not available. The council also approved the appointment of Jordan Allen as city attorney, with the mayor stating the appointment would avoid adding a third attorney and produce net personnel-cost savings.
