CHEYENNE, Wyo. — Cheyenne is one step closer to better promoting clean water in Crow Creek.
At Monday night’s Cheyenne City Council meeting, councilmembers voted to support the Clean Crow Creek Initiative, which aims to improve the waterway’s quality via catch basin stormwater filters, according to a council resolution. The governing body approved a slew of other agenda items, including spending $100,000 for an emergency procurement, provision of youth services, bid considerations and appointment of Robert R. Rose as Cheyenne Municipal Court magistrate hearing judge.
Although not on the council’s agenda, the city notified the public at Monday’s meeting that it executed an emergency procurement. Mayor Patrick Collins approved the city to spend $100,000 from its 2019–2022 Optional 1% Sales Tax Fund to repair the Cheyenne Civic Center roof. The city chose Master Mechanical Inc. to handle these repairs.
The following are items the City Council approved at Monday night’s meeting.
Resolutions
The governing body amended its 2023 Program Year Annual Action Plan to comply with the city’s Citizen Participation Plan, which requires input from residents and two public hearings. The amendment incorporates the Lincoln Park Sidewalk Installation plan, as well as the ADA Upgrade Project.
The city has approved the submission of a loan application to the Wyoming State Loan and Investment Board. The loan, requested in the amount of $4 million, would be used to fund the Hypochlorite Generation Project.
Contracts
Councilmembers approved two contracts on Monday night. The first is for the city to provide probation and diversion services to youth involved with the Laramie County Circuit Court and Cheyenne’s Municipal Court.
