Council member shares community updates, recognizes resident who retrieved keys from storm drain

A council member at a Rock Springs City Council meeting on Nov. 12 delivered a string of community updates, praised organizers of a local film screening, encouraged a local contractor to seek work through the chamber of commerce and publicly recognized resident Clint Zambe for retrieving a set of keys from a storm drain.

The council member said organizers Mark and Carrie are planning another screening after some people were turned away at the previous showing and that committee leaders were “happy with the turnout.” The member also noted meetings earlier with the building committee and parks and recreation staff.

The council member named Jake Staley of First Choice Remodeling as someone seeking local work and said Staley was advised to pursue opportunities through the chamber of commerce.

The council member publicly honored Clint Zambe, saying, “He went above and beyond his scope of duties and helped an individual get some keys out of a storm drain,” and added the council “wanted to make sure he's recognized for it.”

On infrastructure, the council member said constituents had raised questions about the bridge by the Civic Center and that engineers are “wondering what the outcome with that is and if that's the final product.” The member said staff would follow up and continue conversations to provide clarity to residents.

No formal motions or votes were recorded in the remarks. The updates were delivered as part of the meeting’s opening and announcements; council staff were directed to follow up on the bridge concerns and local outreach mentioned by the member.
