Parks and Recreation Director Michael Bork announced that the city has begun a sports facility study with consultant Barry Dunn, the City of Laramie reported during its Dec. 2, 2025 meeting recap.

Councilor Shumway also told attendees that the Winter Lights Festival at Washington Park began last Saturday and reminded the public that a seniors' tour is scheduled Wednesday from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. The recap presented these as informational announcements rather than items requiring council action.

The sports facility study was described as an active planning effort; the meeting recap did not include details on the study’s scope, budget, timeline or public engagement process. For the Winter Lights Festival, the recap noted only the festival’s start and the seniors’ tour time; no permit or budget information was provided in the transcript.

Next steps: The transcript does not record subsequent agenda items tied to the study or festival; residents seeking details or opportunities to participate were referred to the city agenda webpage in the meeting recap.
