The Riverton City Council convened on June 17, 2025, to address several key agenda items, including a consulting agreement for a water transmission project and the rehabilitation of the airport terminal parking lot.

The meeting began with a discussion on a proposed consulting agreement with WH Smith to conduct a technical needs assessment for the West Main Street water transmission line. City staff highlighted the urgency of this project, as the existing line is nearly 70 years old and identified as a priority in the recently completed 2023 water master plan. The council was informed that the Wyoming Water Development Commission would cover 50% of the design and construction costs, contingent upon the completion of a level 3 application by September 1, 2025. The estimated cost for the assessment is approximately $42,000, which will be funded through savings from other budgeted projects. After a brief discussion regarding the tight timeline for the project, the council unanimously approved the consulting agreement.

Following this, the council addressed the rehabilitation of the airport terminal parking lot. Public Works Director Toman presented a recommendation to award the bid to Grama Construction Inc. for a total of $1,181,120. The existing asphalt, over 20 years old, has deteriorated significantly, necessitating reconstruction. The project is federally funded through the Airport Improvement Program and requires a local match of only 2.5%. The council approved the bid, recognizing the importance of maintaining the airport infrastructure.

Overall, the meeting underscored the council's commitment to addressing critical infrastructure needs in Riverton, with both projects aimed at enhancing the city's water and transportation systems. The council plans to continue monitoring the progress of these initiatives as they move forward.
