The Council will host a public hearing regarding flat rental amounts for each public housing unit. Later in the meeting, they will take action on the proposed changes.

Under ordinances, the Council will review two ordinances geared at clamping down on human trafficking while protecting local massage therapists.

This committee is tasked with coming up with language that will achieve the city’s goals while protecting local massage therapists.

Under new business, the Council will review a request from the Rock Springs Police Department to go out to bid for a lease agreement for the purchase of police fleet vehicles and trucks for the animal control, cemetery, and wastewater treatment plant.
