The Casper City Council on Sept. 30 adopted a resolution that rescinds Resolution No. 25-159 and approves, subject to voter approval under Wyoming Statute Section 15-9-217B, an annual assessment of 16 mills against the assessed value of real property within the downtown development district, excluding property used exclusively for residential purposes.

The consent item specifically directs the mayor to execute and the city clerk to attest the replacement resolution if voters approve. The transcript records the item read into the record as part of the consent agenda; no financial estimates, revenue projections or implementation timelines were provided during the meeting.

The motion to adopt the consent agenda was moved by Councilor Sweeney and seconded by the vice mayor; the transcript records that all councilors voted in favor and the motion passed. Because the resolution is contingent on voter approval as stated in Wyo. Stat. § 15-9-217B, the assessment would not take effect unless the required electorate action occurs.
