An executive session to receive legal advice opened the Albany County Fire District #1 board meeting at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday at 501 E Garfield St., Laramie, the district’s notice shows; following that closed session the board recessed and reconvened the public portion at 5:30 p.m. at Central South Station, 4925 Ft Sanders Rd. The district webpage explicitly states, "The public is invited to attend."
The public portion listed an AGENDA and two draft sets of minutes for review, Draft Minutes Dec 17, 2025 and Draft Minutes Special meeting Jan 14, 2026, and offered Google Meet joining info though the capture shows the "Video call link:" field blank and warns that "Online availability dependent on equipment and internet service and not guaranteed." Attendees who want the documents should consult the Albany County Fire District #1 administrative postings where those items are listed.
County financial records tied to the district appeared separately in Albany County voucher and minutes excerpts. The voucher list includes an entry, "Albany County Fire District #1, $1,782.00, fire payment." County board action language records that "Action: that the Board APPROVES the $10,000.00 Bond for James Jackson, Treasurer, Albany County Fire District #1." The county excerpt also notes a return to regular session with roll call showing Hoff, Gosar and Jones and a motion carried at 11:52 a.m., situating the bond and voucher approvals in the county’s December 2025 docket.
