The Laramie County School District #1 Board of Trustees held nominations and votes for board officers, approved routine consent items, and authorized legal action regarding the City of Cheyenne’s stormwater fees at its December meeting.

Nominations for chair, vice chair, treasurer, clerk and assistant positions were taken and the board voted to confirm the slate. The incumbent chair was nominated and re-elected; trustee Claussen (referred to in the record as Claussen/Clawson) was elected vice chair after the tie was broken by the chair; Britney Ashby was elected treasurer; Trustee Humphrey was elected clerk; Trustee Hinkle was named assistant clerk and Marilyn Burton was named assistant treasurer. The oath of office for officers was administered.

The consent agenda was approved by voice vote. Under regular business, the board considered a motion "to authorize filing such legal action as may be necessary to determine the legality and the applicability of the City of Cheyenne stormwater fees." The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote; the record indicates at least one trustee voiced opposition during the roll call discussion but the motion carried.

After that vote the board approved a motion to enter executive session to discuss possible student discipline, personnel, legal advice and potential litigation, and the motion carried by voice vote.

The board did not take additional public action on the stormwater item at the meeting; further details will be handled by district legal staff as appropriate.
