Laramie council names Assistant City Manager Todd Feazer interim city manager through June 2026

The Laramie City Council voted Tuesday to appoint Assistant City Manager Todd Feazer as interim city manager effective Dec. 16, 2025, with the appointment set for a period of up to six months.

The appointment, carried by a 5–0 roll call vote with four members absent, was moved by Vice Mayor Richardson and seconded by Councilor Lockhart. Council members framed the selection as a continuity measure after City Manager Janine Jordan announced her departure; the council said Feazer’s institutional knowledge would help carry ongoing multi‑year projects forward.

Feazer, who was introduced at the meeting, said he was “honored by this opportunity to serve alongside our department heads and directors and continue to keep Laramie moving forward.” The council’s decision followed more than a dozen minutes of public comment in which former Mayor Brian Harrington, business leaders and longtime volunteers praised Feazer’s experience and community ties. Brad Enzi, CEO of the Laramie Chamber Business Alliance, told the council that continuity mattered for several multi‑year economic and housing projects.

Councilor comments emphasized stability. Lockhart said Feazer’s “reputation preceded him” and expressed hope the appointment would extend beyond the interim term; O’Doherty and Vigil said the city needed uninterrupted operations. Mayor Sharon Cumby noted the council’s statutory authority under Wyoming law (Title 15) to appoint and employ the city manager and signaled confidence in Feazer’s leadership.

Action: Resolution 2025‑86, appointing Todd Feazer as interim city manager, passed by roll call 5‑0 (four absent). The council authorized the mayor and city clerk to sign the appointment documents. No contested motions or amendments were recorded.

The city will publish details of the interim employment agreement and any public recruiting plans for a permanent manager in coming weeks.
