City Manager

My vision for Laramie’s future is a vibrant, strong, and diverse community with ample opportunity for residents and businesses! Laramie municipal government consistently strives to support the community by utilizing the highest standards of stewardship for deploying the public’s resources. We work hard to never lose sight of the critical importance of sustainability and intergenerational equity in both the day-to-day operational decisions we make and implement, and the policy recommendations we provide to elected officials. As a full-service city, Laramie provides all traditional municipal services—as well as a number of services more typically provided by counties or special districts, like landfilling and county-wide emergency medical services. And, on a daily basis, the City provides a myriad of support services to the campus as well, understanding that the community’s success is linked with the University of Wyoming. By keeping a strong focus on efficiency and effectiveness, municipal staff and elected officials employ radical collaboration to provide this broad array of services at a lower cost per resident than nearly all other State and regional neighboring communities. I believe that municipal government, operated in this fashion, adds value and contributes to Laramie’s position as a first-choice community. Laramie municipal government will continue to choose to lead, not follow, in terms of modern, responsive, and efficient services for residents and the business community. On behalf of myself and all municipal staff members, it is our honor to serve this fine community! Janine Jordan Laramie City Manager
