Casper City Councilors approved a request on Tuesday to be signatories for a group that is trying to make Natrona and Carbon counties home to a designated national heritage area.
The Casper City Council decided to add Metro Animal Services, the city's animal shelter, to the list of organizations that could reapply for 1-cent funding at its Tuesday's work session.
After a year that saw the former Casper mayor draw national attention for comments he made about the city’s homeless population and resign amid allegations of domestic violence, the City Council elected a new mayor Tuesday.
At a Tuesday work session, councilors had to revisit the discussion of 1-cent funding for community projects. There were some unforeseen wrinkles in the plan.
Originally, $20 to $25 million was budgeted for it.
