The Rock Springs City Council met on September 2, 2026, to address a range of items including a controversial fee waiver request for an affordable housing development, multiple grant applications, equipment purchases, and policy updates. Council heard public comments, approved most consent items and resolutions unanimously, and failed a motion to waive city fees for the Gardens at White Mountain project. The meeting also featured council updates on community events and constituent concerns.
Your niece and your father or grandfather? Cousin and uh yeah. I knew that they had paid rename, but no, that that those were great films and uh Broadway's, like Daniel said, it's the uh crown jewel of downtown. It's really great to uh see them putting on stuff like that, and they're it looks like they're gonna they're gonna be busy for the rest of the year. I encourage people to go out. Thank you. Thank you, sir. Cancellor Malonis. Thank you, Your Honor. Uh I also attended that movie presentation, and it was some great movies. And what I really liked at the very end was they had a little question and answer period with all the wonderful ladies, and uh they talked about doing hard things, so I really thought that was good. I had a lot of uh constituents talk to me about the golf course and these uh waiving these fees. We're gonna talk about that tonight. Also, I went to a uh proclamation this morning about suicide. Uh that's a real big issue around here. It's a complicated problem. I'm not sure of all the answers, but one other thing I did is I went to a nutritional seminar put on by Carol Iverson, very smart local lady. She's uh had some good ideas, but one of the number one things I took out of it was our gut health. She talked about 70% of our immune system is built in our gut, and also a big part of our emotional support system, serotonin, oxytocin is built in the gut. So uh I think that's a a good place to start for some people. Nutrition. And the last thing was uh two weeks ago before I came to the city council meeting. I swung by the creek back there and they had a a backhoe cleaning out the creek, getting all the debris off the grate. I'm surprised that grate is still in place. We're gonna have more problems with that. Also, uh my building got flooded. Ever since that 60-inch line was put in front of my building, I've had problems. So I took a little walk over to Bitter Creek and seen where it discharged into the creek, and to say I was amazed is an understatement, but we maybe we got to take a look at that discharge to reduce some pressures. And uh that was it. Thank you. Thank you, Counselor. Cancelled Demas. Thank you, Your Honor. On August 19th, I did a ribbon cutting for Tanger Tanger Bank here at 301 2nd Street. On August 20th, I attended Brave Girls at the Broadway Theater, which consisted of Sky Queens and Mountain Roots. On August 22nd, I volunteered at the Blues and Brews.

Um this last couple of weeks I attended a webinar about the TEA and MRG grant requirement updates. I attended the aviation economic impact study. I attended the Joint Powers Telecom Board meeting. I uh talked to several constituents about the housing project and more about the golf course and how we budget for it. Other than that, that's it. Thank you, Councillor.
