City of Rock Springs Council Meeting April 7, 2026

The City of Rock Springs Council held a meeting on April 7, 2026, which included a detailed presentation by Raftelis on a utility rate study for water, sewer, and stormwater services. The study proposed revenue adjustments averaging 7% annually for water and 12% for sewer in the near term to fund a $20 million capital improvement program over 10 years, ensuring sufficient reserves and debt coverage. The council discussed potential impacts on customer bills and rate structure changes aimed at promoting conservation and affordability. Procurement activities included bid openings for a water department vehicle and a weed mitigation project, with bids received from local Wyoming vendors. The council approved several resolutions, including acceptance of federal funding for the Rock Springs Housing Authority, sale of a fire engine, and procurement of Google Cloud Platform services under a no-cost agreement to explore additional capabilities. Additionally, the council approved a request to apply for an $11,002 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant and several liquor catering permits. Ordinances related to occupation tax and city standards were also approved. The meeting featured budget discussions and community updates but no new contracts beyond those noted were awarded.
