Council advances contractor-licensing ordinance; emergency moratorium motion fails citing state statute
Summary
Laramie City Council passed an ordinance clarifying general contractor licensing standards (first reading) and rejected an emergency moratorium motion on new general contractor licenses after citing Wyoming statute 15-1-115.
The Laramie City Council on Oct. 21 passed introduction and first reading of an ordinance clarifying language related to general contractor licensing, including which body addresses appeals and language on proficiency for the class applied for. The ordinance passed by a 5-0 vote and was scheduled for second reading on Nov. 4.
Council also considered an emergency ordinance that would have placed a moratorium of up to 90 days on issuance and acceptance of new general contractor licenses and addressing appeals. The motion to adopt the emergency moratorium failed on procedural grounds after council cited Wyoming statute 15-1-115. The meeting record notes the motion failed; it does not record a roll-call tally or motion sponsor.
The ordinance that passed clarifies that appeals are addressed by the Building and Fire Code Board of Appeals and tightens language related to proficiency for license classes. The meeting summary did not include the ordinance number, specific amended code sections, or changes to fee or application processes.
