What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The city council approved the final administrative step to repeal Laramie Municipal Code Chapter 13.80, which established the surface water drainage utility and fee. This action was accompanied by budget changes that decreased general fund appropriations by $403,062 and removed $4,139,480 in remaining appropriations. Jennifer Wade, Assistant City Manager and Chief Financial Officer, confirmed that the fund closure does not end current drainage work.
