Three cities in Wyoming currently apply the Council-Manager form of government structures as defined by Wyoming State Statute. In these communities (Laramie, Casper, and Rawlins), a vote of the people elected to operate their city through professional management. The communities of Green River, Douglas, Powell, Cody, Jackson, Gillette, Afton, and Sheridan currently have charter ordinances establishing a Mayor-Administrator form of government as recognized by ICMA and GOSCMA.
