Laramie Council honors Mike Malloy as Employee of the Month for parks maintenance excellence

Laramie residents can look forward to improved safety and infrastructure following key discussions at the city council meeting on July 15, 2025. The council highlighted the efficiency of the Laramie Fire Department, noting a significant reduction in fire incidents over the past century. Councilor Shumway emphasized that the department's effectiveness has not only lowered insurance rates but also enhanced community safety, ensuring rapid and thorough responses to fires.

In infrastructure updates, the reopening of Fifteenth Street was announced, with city officials confirming that it will remain open despite ongoing construction activities in the area. However, residents should prepare for a temporary closure of Twenty-Second Street between Grand and Willett from July 22 to August 3. This closure is necessary for utility installations related to the new aquatic center, with the aim of completing the work before the school year begins.

The meeting also recognized Mike Malloy, the city’s parks supervisor, as Employee of the Month. Malloy was commended for his high standards and dedication to maintaining Laramie's parks, a role that often goes unnoticed by the public. His commitment to the community and his extensive experience in parks maintenance were highlighted, showcasing the importance of such roles in enhancing the quality of life for residents.

These discussions reflect the city council's ongoing commitment to improving public safety and infrastructure, ensuring that Laramie remains a vibrant and secure community for its residents. As the city moves forward with these initiatives, residents can anticipate a more connected and safer environment.
