Lieutenant Dan Longshine of the Cheyenne Police Department said the service would revitalize the UPS that runs servers and the 9-1-1 center and would prevent brief power lapses that could force system reboots and disrupt emergency communications. “This will ensure that there is no loss of service, even in that brief amount of time with our 9-1-1 services,” Longshine said.

The committee moved to approve the purchase; the motion passed and the item was recommended to the City Council. Funding cited in the agenda included the 2012 specific-purpose option tax fund and one-time state distribution funds.

Discussion versus decision: the committee’s recommendation is a procurement authorization; the committee did not attach conditions beyond the funding source cited.

Tom Cobb, the city engineer, said the change order addresses safety and routing changes related to nearby wind turbines and includes a potential gate relocation on state land.

Cobb told the committee the work stems from three issues encountered during design and construction: the access road must be rerouted to stay clear of wind turbine blades, a possible gate relocation through state-owned land (a quoted optional cost of $15,900 appears in the contract backup), and a contract extension because construction will not finish by the original 06/30/2025 completion date. Cobb said the change order funds will come from the Belvoir Ranch Recreation Fund and stated the amount as $120,005.56 in his presentation.

During the motion, the committee recorded a slightly different not-to-exceed figure. A motion to approve passed with a recommendation to the City Council with a recorded “not to exceed” amount of $120,556.50. The inconsistency between the staff-presented amount ($120,005.56) and the motion’s not-to-exceed amount ($120,556.50) was on the record; the committee did not resolve the discrepancy during the meeting.

A substantive dissent occurred: Councilmember Moody said he could not support approval without more information from the energy company about safety risks near turbines and said he would vote no. Moody explained concerns about cattle near turbine blades and requested further input from the turbine operator before he could back the change order. The motion passed despite Moody’s objection.

Discussion versus decision: the committee’s vote was a formal recommendation to the City Council. Cobb provided background and cost details but the committee did not adopt additional conditions pending further consultation with the energy company.

A West Bay Engineering representative outlined the scope: the project will provide inline detention on Clear Creek and offline detention for Crow Creek. The representative said the Clear Creek inline detention will help mitigate frequent neighborhood flooding east of the park, while the Crow Creek offline detention would help reduce flooding at the Ames Underpass. The project also includes creation of additional wetland habitat in Romero Park, a channel design for Crow Creek in anticipation of a dredging project at Ames Underpass, and remapping of FEMA and city-county floodplain maps.

Cost and funding: the speaker said the contract total is $403,742.16, with $262,500 expected from a FEMA BRIC grant and $141,242.16 from the 2023–2026 optional 1% sales tax fund. The representative said a benefit-cost analysis will be performed to pursue FEMA construction funding.

The committee moved, seconded and voted to recommend the contract to the City Council for approval. Committee members asked technical questions about whether the design would change hundred-year floodplain extents and where geospatial data would come from; the West Bay representative said some data will come from the firm’s GIS topography and some from on-site surveying. No construction contract was before the committee; the item covered only the design agreement.

Discussion versus decision: committee approval was a recommendation to council to authorize the design contract. The actual construction phase would require future funding decisions, including FEMA grant awards and stormwater fee allocations for the local match.

The school district will pay the, all the service fees, and that's for us to add technology that we use at the police department to help the SROs do a better job and be more efficient,” Sergeant Pete said. Sergeant Pete also said the department currently staffs seven SROs: “We have 7 SROs, the 3 high schools, the 1 alternative high school, and the 3 middle schools.”

The committee moved to approve the memorandum and voted to forward the MOU to the City Council for consideration at its next meeting.

Discussion versus decision: the committee’s action was a formal recommendation; there was brief questioning about staffing levels and no amendments were directed. No public comment was recorded on this item.

The committee voted to forward the ordinance for final action at the City Council meeting on Monday.

Committee members and staff said the ordinance contains minimal changes from the current agreement but includes several specific updates. A staff member told the committee the ordinance adds drone pilots to the list of specialties, “establishing that 8.6% for our retirement contributions,” and changes to longevity pay and the city’s health program. “There are very few changes on here, just a couple as far as, like, adding drone pilots to the specialties, establishing that 8.6% for our retirement contributions, and then changing our longevity pay and the city's health program,” the staff member said.

The measure was moved for approval on second reading, seconded, and approved by the committee. The committee’s approval on July 22 was procedural — a second-reading recommendation to the full City Council rather than a final adoption — and staff and committee members did not present additional amendments during the discussion.

Discussion versus decision: the committee’s vote was a formal action advancing the ordinance; committee members did not direct staff to make further substantive changes during the meeting.

Background and next steps: Because the committee approved the ordinance on second reading, the item will appear on the City Council agenda for final action at the next council meeting, as noted by the committee chair. No fiscal figures tied directly to the ordinance (beyond the retirement contribution percentage cited) were provided in the committee discussion.
