The matter is procedural but affects a public facility: staff said the southernmost part of the parking lot had at one time been held for possible conversion to tennis courts to serve a nearby high school, but that the city later worked out an alternate arrangement with the school district — a tennis complex at Highland Park — removing the need to reserve the parking area for that purpose. Phase 2 work would restore the lot to meet code and paving standards, staff said.

“We had not published appropriately and adequately. And so this is our attempt to fix that and move on,” a staff member said when explaining why the city is re-sending the resolution and declaring intent for Phase 2. The same staff member described the southern portion of the lot as previously constrained by an anticipated state interest in a tennis complex; the city later arranged for the tennis facilities at Highland Park, which “no longer necessitates the need to use that parking lot for a purpose of that nature.”

A staff member said the Phase 2 work will include replacing pavement lifts so the lot meets current code and the city’s paving standards. No contract awards, construction start dates, or project budgets were provided in the discussion, and the transcript records no formal vote to start construction. Councilors and staff discussed the need to correct the public-notice process before moving forward.

Staff did not specify the resolution number, the exact boundaries of Phase 2, or a construction timeline during the discussion. They said the republishing is intended to correct prior notice deficiencies and allow the city to proceed after proper notification.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Casper | April 15th, 2025 | City Council Pre-Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","City staff told the council they will republish a resolution and declare intent to move forward on Phase 2 of the Good State Parking Lot project at Westridge after the previous run of notices did not meet the city’s publication requirements.","taxTitle","Casper, Natrona, Wyoming","taxId",3791,"location","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6269486,"City staff to reapply to Joint Powers Board for gym divider curtains used by Casper youth program",87,1122000,1209000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3042704-bbda22a39c270f8c73a27d0ff763771b&start=1122&end=1209","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3042704-bbda22a39c270f8c73a27d0ff763771b/thumbnail_1122000.jpg","/articles/6269486/Casper/Natrona/Wyoming/City-staff-to-reapply-to-Joint-Powers-Board-for-gym-divider-curtains-used-by-Casper-youth-program","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6269486-0bba368d9dd7cc9841b5fc4186494312/orig.mp4?Expires=1771190384&Signature=GhEtM4RnKywB9nl-GJ7UXOZhMpvSlvhofM8SxkPLueW~Upw7cgXhc2pGykFr7tdIERS~9XB6fPnFBOUu3FNp2kQgoWNjupgT1n-eKc-xr1w-NfJmEsNdyjVz7zsObieeY0oS3zFZX4kTqP4pJMF0MnaVX8jfNnuvcugQR6FAZgoQikwHQDEQ2E67lV0bs99xL0YUMwbF9G6gniLJXfivbT9xDK06d-bbUTkdRl0jtBFl39ZsfjD1s2sZpgnNK9kjEtfeefK8QEJ6Ye2LbMaUqgswJGOlRv3ZYCAXSvHKkSw6wpGoyclY8etP4oBaegBaqDczOVUhtnasKifITXkndw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City staff told the council they will reapply to the Joint Powers Board for a grant to buy two heavy-duty divider curtains that would let a city gym be split into three full-size basketball courts for programming used by the Casper fourth- and fifth-grade basketball and volleyball program.

The request matters because the dividers would allow simultaneous, separate activities in one gym — an operational need staff said is important to daily programming for elementary students. Staff said this is a second application after an earlier denial and that one of the gym’s existing curtains has failed since the first request.

“Absolutely. Good evening, everybody. It's nice to be with you tonight. We have a grant application we'd like to take another run at with, the district recreation. Joint Powers Board,” Carter, a staff member, said when introducing the request. Carter said the grant would pay for “fighter curtains” that create three individual spaces each the size of a full-size basketball court and allow different programming in each section.

Carter said he and a colleague, Nick, were available to answer questions and that the city partners with the school district to offer Casper — spelled C-A-S-P-E-R in the meeting — to fourth- and fifth-grade students. “We partner with them to offer that to their elementary students,” Carter said, adding the city “utilize[s] those students for that purpose and need to have them sectioned off.”

A councilor who serves on the Joint Powers Board said the board had good discussion and supported the idea to move forward. The same councilor told colleagues the source of Joint Powers Board proceeds is largely property-tax revenue but also other lending sources. “State. Yeah. A lot of it is coming from the property taxes. Also, we have other lending sources,” the councilor said.

Staff said the earlier application was denied; they did not specify why. Carter told the council that the need has increased because “we actually had a failure in one of the curtains since the first task.” A councilor warned that upcoming tax cuts discussed previously could reduce available Joint Powers Board funding for youth programs.

Council members signaled verbal support for staff to reapply, but the transcript records no formal motion or vote on the grant application. No spending or award was approved during the meeting.

Officials did not provide a dollar figure for the grant request, a procurement timetable, or firm vendor specifications during the discussion.","City staff asked the council for support to reapply for a Joint Powers Board grant to buy two room-dividing curtains that would create three full-size court spaces in a city gym used by the Casper fourth- and fifth-grade program.
