Albany County commissioners approve grant applications, contracts, appointments and vehicle purchase

LARAMIE, Wyo. — The Albany County Commissioners on Oct. 7 approved a package of grant applications, contract renewals, appointments and a vehicle purchase during a largely procedural meeting at the Albany County Courthouse.

The board approved grant applications and awards for local programs, ratified community development block grant paperwork, renewed several contracts for diversion and court-supervision services, accepted a contractor bid for two vehicles and authorized a small capital expense from the county building reserve to remove a wall in the election office to expand early‑voting space.

The votes covered a range of county functions: historic preservation, community development and nonprofit support, juvenile diversion services, public safety equipment and information‑technology purchases. Commissioners also ratified a ground-lease estoppel certificate connected to the Laramie Care Center and recorded one resignation and one appointment to the Community Service Block Grant tripartite board.
