Our Council was established in 2019 as an Advisory Council to the Casper City Council and City Manager regarding the problems and concerns of people with disabilities as they relate to activities of daily living; including employment, recreation, transportation, architectural accessibility, or any other area of concern to people with disabilities in Casper. Persons with disabilities make up a majority of the membership on the Council. The remainder of the Council is composed of caretakers, family, and/or parents or legal guardians of persons with disabilities.
Promote improvement in the quality of life for Natrona County citizens with disabilities by encouraging inter-agency coordination among service agencies and programs relating to people with disabilities and refer disabled persons to appropriate services; participate with and offer recommendations to City staff on past, current, and future projects; and bring awareness to and educate the community on issues relevant to people with a disability.
Monthly Meeting:
The Council meets monthly on the 4th Thursday of each month at 11:30am at City Hall in Casper, Wyoming (holidays such as Thanksgiving may occasionally change this schedule). The meetings are open to the public, and we seek to accommodate your accessibility needs. If you are unable to attend in person, email disabilitycouncil@casperwy.gov to get the phone number and/or link for Skype videoconferencing for the meeting.
