Mayor Schafer announced that Torrington’s water was ranked in the top three by a rural water committee.   Ross Jorgensen from Rural Water spoke congratulating the water staff and the council and past councils for stepping up to the issues faced by Torrington’s water system. 

Councilman Adams discussed the issue of raising wires for over sized loads, he had met with Kevin Cox at new call center, and he suggested that the city contact the road and bridge superintendent at WYDOT for assistance. Councilman Adams contacted Chief Janes, who contacted the lady who gives final approval to all oversize loads that travel in Wyoming.  She works with other communities, like Laramie, and would be glad to work with Torrington, letting companies know where to get paper work and pay fees and how to contact the city.

Tim Eisenhaur spoke to the council updating them on the projects including the water and sewer lines to the prison, the elevated water tank and building for the utility projects.

Ambulance Director Yates presented the bids for the old ambulance facility and recommended that they be rejected since both represented less then half of the market appraisal value.  Councilman Adams moved Kinney seconded to reject all bids and have Ambulance Dir.
