An unidentified speaker at a Rock Springs City Council meeting said the city's major construction period in the late 1970s and early 1980s has left the city with aging infrastructure that now requires more upkeep. "We did a lot of building in the late seventies, early eighties," the speaker said, adding, "we used our revenues wisely while we had them."

The speaker argued that after revenues declined the city "didn't pay as much attention," linking past fiscal choices to current maintenance demands. The speaker placed the point in personal context, saying they are from that era and that "30 years ago, I was a lot more spry than I am today," to emphasize the long-term nature of the issue.

On the condition of facilities specifically, the speaker said, "this body takes way more maintenance than it did, in 1982. It does, and and our buildings are the same way. They do take more maintenance." Those remarks framed both the governing body's operations and the city's physical buildings as needing greater maintenance than in prior decades.

No motions, votes, or formal directives concerning funding or capital projects are recorded in the transcript segment provided. The comments appear to be part of a broader council discussion about infrastructure and budgeting rather than a proposal for immediate action.

The remarks identify the late-1970s/early-1980s construction era and past revenue patterns as reasons the city faces increased upkeep costs today. The transcript does not specify particular buildings, dollar amounts, proposed funding sources, or a schedule for repairs. Those details were not provided and are listed as not specified.
