The council postponed action on a requested exception to a \"201 agreement\" until its April 28 meeting.

Why it matters: the approvals affect housing development, downtown and citywide street safety markings, and the city's annual pavement maintenance program. The council also handled referrals for updates to the solid waste fee schedule and a downtown graffiti pilot repeal.

Zoning: The council approved on third and final reading an amendment to the official zoning map changing a parcel southwest of Wild Bluff and Ogden Road from MR (medium density residential) to NR2 (neighborhood residential, medium density). The Public Services Committee recommended approval; Councilmember Seagrave moved the ordinance and the motion carried on a recorded vote with several councilmembers announcing \"yes\" in the roll call. The ordinance was declared approved on third and final reading.

Pavement markings: The council approved a cooperative agreement with the Wyoming Department of Transportation for 2025 thermoplastic pavement markings in an amount not to exceed $234,845. City staff said working with WYDOT is expected to save roughly 25 percent compared with doing the work independently (staff estimate). Councilmembers said they hoped a substantial portion of the work would be done downtown and voiced a preference to complete markings before Frontier Days; staff said a letting date from WYDOT had not yet been provided.

Street maintenance contracts: The council accepted bid EDASH14-25 and awarded hot mix asphalt and cold mix purchases to JTL Group Inc. doing business as Knife River (hot mix not to exceed $367,625; cold mix not to exceed $75,000) and tac oil to Simon Contractors (not to exceed $19,200) for a combined total not to exceed $461,825. Public Works staff said hot-mix pricing is similar to last year (around $90/ton) and that cold-mix tonnage and pricing fluctuate year to year.

201-agreement exception: A resolution seeking an exception to a 201 agreement for property south of High Plains Road was postponed. The applicant had been working to submit an outside water‑user agreement; at the meeting Councilmember Dr. Rainey moved and Mr. Seagrave seconded a two‑week postponement, which the council approved. The item is scheduled for the April 28 meeting.

Other actions and referrals: The council referred an ordinance updating the solid waste fee schedule (sec. 8.44.0.01) to the Finance Committee and referred a proposal to repeal the downtown graffiti abatement pilot (chapter 12.28) to the Public Services Committee. A public hearing on a bar and grill liquor license application for Frontier Days LLC, d/b/a Chiba Hut, 3838 Atkin Street, was held; applicant Seth Larson described the business model, said alcohol accounts for about 9 percent of sales and that the location expects to hire roughly 30 employees with starting wages around $16.50 an hour and a general manager at about $70,000. The hearing record was assigned to the council's final committee. The council also announced a public hearing for a winery license application (Wagonham Wine LLC) set for April 28 at 6 p.m.

Next steps: items referred to committees will return for committee recommendation; the postponed 201‑agreement exception will be considered April 28. Contract awards and cooperative agreements may be executed per city procedures.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council 04-14-25","oneSentenceSummary","On April 14 the Cheyenne City Council approved a zone change to enable a 10.92-acre housing development, authorized a WYDOT cooperative agreement for thermoplastic pavement markings (not to exceed $234,845) and accepted asphalt and related material bids totaling up to $461,825; a separate 201-agreement exception was postponed to April 28.","taxTitle","Cheyenne, Laramie County, Wyoming","taxId",4607,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6272122,"Cheyenne council approves amended dockless-vehicle rules, adds timeliness language to RFP requirements",1345,499000,1844000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3028122-1b006e5eb4d0823807c74ee7717d98f5&start=499&end=1844","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3028122-1b006e5eb4d0823807c74ee7717d98f5/thumbnail_499000.jpg","/articles/6272122/Cheyenne/Laramie-County/Wyoming/Cheyenne-council-approves-amended-dockless-vehicle-rules-adds-timeliness-language-to-RFP-requirements","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6272122-0cf26766913d78050450a2bb6f5701a3/orig.mp4?Expires=1775979525&Signature=Xk9pQcNz7J3ipWB-FexLuBHvnzkTMnlB~vqtGW-Q8Ta1V6SHkrPD8A8htdqLfQ4f1VDffqoMYIEFPUYpIvG-WgRDWLRRu5AuFEr2p97mh1~6SWxkJ5dNUBJCOAYJgdNtOJn4Yp3VDx9AF3Oq4igaCVNSkFfiT7dunSQt6f7HIWILx~R-GLYUSHTo2bzREgvwz52FL3Orhz-Z~cU7UwqBxK0duiwxcCvOFRC2CXQHi15JLwK9uFeWhT0BgWskEsGdlVlbKLZOir7d4LT1pxUXhSROr537ISWoV4lWJeWUeKjGnSJg0CZ50O1Ldqeh2yNSVu1YkcbW-vo4PPu8B4ADtA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Cheyenne City Council on April 14 approved an ordinance amending chapter 10.82 of the municipal code to authorize dockless vehicle companies to operate in the city through the city's formal procurement (RFP) process. The council adopted an amendment adding the phrase \"in a timely manner\" to the operations and maintenance plan requirement for proposers.

Why it matters: the ordinance rewrites how the city licenses dockless motorized scooters, electric bicycles and GPS-equipped bikes. It sets procurement and evaluation rules for companies that want to place dockless vehicles in Cheyenne, and drew extensive discussion about how specific the city should be in requiring response times, safety measures, data sharing and community engagement from vendors.

Council discussion focused on two themes: how prescriptive the RFP should be about vendor response and operations, and how much flexibility the administration should keep when drafting future RFPs. Councilmember Dr. Aldridge argued the RFP should stress responsiveness so scooters do not \"lay around town or [be] broken and dysfunctional for long periods of time,\" and moved to add explicit timeliness language to the operations and maintenance plan. Dr. Rennie said \"in a timely manner\" felt vague and preferred a specific deadline. City Attorney John Brody responded that enforcement and specific response expectations would be incorporated by the procurement department when it prepares the RFP: \"I think that would just come down to the discretion of the procurement department within the city.\" Purchasing Manager TJ Bartlebort told the council the RFP could treat proposers' stated response times as scoring criteria: \"we can either mandate that we want a set amount of time for a response or we can let the proposers tell us what their intended response time is and we can use that as a scoring criteria.\"

Several proposed amendments failed. A motion to remove language allowing \"any other requirement deemed appropriate by the mayor or his or her designee\" from two sections of the draft ordinance failed after five council members recorded opposition. A separate proposal to delete several items the city would ask proposers to address (safety and rider education, data‑sharing/reporting capabilities, community engagement strategies and reduced‑rate programs) failed; that vote was recorded with Councilmember Moody as the lone yes. An amendment to change a provision that would allow the city to \"select one or more\" operators to instead permit the city to select \"any operators\" also failed, with Moody recorded as the sole yes vote.

The motion to approve the ordinance on second reading was moved by Councilmember Layborn and seconded by Councilmember White. The ordinance passed on second reading; Layborn and Moody were recorded as voting no. The amended ordinance requires vendors, as part of their RFP submissions, to include operations and maintenance plans that describe how they will respond \"in a timely manner,\" and leaves procurement‑level enforcement and scoring details to city staff as part of the RFP development process. City staff told councilmembers they expect to issue RFPs annually while the program is being established.

Next steps: the ordinance now exists on the city's legislative track after passing second reading and will follow the council's normal subsequent steps for final adoption and implementation through the city procurement process. The RFP will specify how the city scores timeliness and other operational commitments.

","The Cheyenne City Council on April 14 approved changes to chapter 10.82 allowing dockless scooters and similar vehicles to operate under the city's procurement process, adopting an amendment that requires proposers to describe how they will respond \"in a timely manner\" to operational and maintenance issues.","actionData","errors"]
