Councilman Behnam says Broadway Theatre won $28,000 in grants for chairlift; highlights holiday events and rec fees
Summary
Councilman Behnam told the Rock Springs City Council that the Broadway Theatre secured roughly $28,000 in grants toward a replacement chairlift and reminded residents about December recreation fees and the return of Christmas in the Park, including a Nov. 29 lighting ceremony.
Councilman Behnam reported to the Rock Springs City Council that the Broadway Theatre has secured additional grant funding to help replace a malfunctioning chairlift and highlighted several community events and notices.
Behnam said the theatre "received an additional $18,000 grant from the Wyoming Cultural Trust Fund, in addition to the $10,000 [from] the Union Pacific Foundation," covering about $28,000 of the chairlift cost; he said remaining costs would be paid from the theatre’s existing budget. He credited volunteers and city recreation staff for their work on theatre events and on the community’s holiday programming.
Behnam also described attending a SilverSneakers exercise class at the Civic Center on a recent Monday and said "the class was very large. 46 people were actually attending that," using the visit to invite participants to raise questions about recreation fees ahead of a December fee review. He noted the council or associated agencies held a URA meeting on Nov. 10 and announced that "Christmas in the Park" will return, with a lighting ceremony set for Nov. 29; he said there are "over 100,000 lights."
On administrative matters, Behnam said council members reviewed several city–county contracts for shared services; the transcript did not supply details about the contracts or specific budget line items. He closed his remarks and yielded the floor.
No formal motions or votes were recorded on these items in the available transcript.
