The Laramie City Council on Dec. 16, 2025 approved a slate of routine and budget items in unanimous votes, including allocations from the Wyoming Community Gas Program to local nonprofits, acceptance of a liquor-license application for a new bar-and-grill, and funding for pool repairs at the Laramie Recreation Center.
In opening announcements, Director Wade said Wyoming Community Gas is accepting grant applications through Jan. 31, 2026, for awards of $10,000. Wade also recognized Billy Yarich, described in the transcript as a customer operations supervisor, for nomination as "rock star of the month," noting his six years of community service.
