The Sheridan City Council convened for a meeting that began with an invocation led by Lester Bentley from the Sheridan Seventh Day Adventist Church, although he was not present. The council members, including Mayor Bridger, proceeded to approve the agenda without opposition.

A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to a community update presented by Steve Meyer, president of the Critical Air Service Teamwork (CAST). Established in 2014, CAST aims to sustain quality air service in the Sheridan and Johnson County area. Meyer highlighted the challenges faced after Great Lakes Airlines ceased operations in 2015, leaving the community without commercial air service for the first time in generations.

In response to this gap, CAST collaborated with the Wyoming Aeronautics Division to explore options for air service. This led to the formation of Denver Air Connection, supported by a minimum revenue guarantee from the state and local governments. The Wyoming legislature recognized the need for improved air service in small communities, resulting in a capacity purchase agreement that streamlined the process for securing air service.

Meyer reported that since the initiation of air service in January 2020, despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, the community has seen a significant increase in passenger numbers. In the past year alone, Sheridan recorded 26,685 employments and a total of 51,359 passengers, indicating a robust recovery and growing demand for air travel in the region. The council expressed appreciation for the efforts of CAST and the importance of maintaining local air service for the community's connectivity and economic development.
