The actions resolve boundary and zoning irregularities and allow existing business operations to continue while the council revoked its standing audit committee and authorized dissolution steps for a regional economic development alliance.

Council certified the Gillespie Draw Subdivision final plat (resolution PL‑25‑20/Res. 20225) after a presentation by City Planner Kelly Schroeder describing a county-led conservation-design subdivision north of Kendrick Golf Course that will create 15 lots (13 residential lots plus two larger conservation lots that encompass Soldier Ridge and Hidden Hoot Trail). Schroeder said the subdivision will be served by private wells and septic systems and accessed from West Fifth Street via a private 60-foot access easement named Gillespie Drive. The council approved staff’s recommendation that the city certify the subdivision is in conformance with the joint planning area’s future land‑use plan. The council approved the resolution by voice vote; no roll-call tally was provided in the record.

The council also approved paired ordinance actions to match municipal boundaries to property lines after a December boundary-line adjustment related to Kendrick Golf Course: Ordinance 2295 (PL‑25‑21) deannexed 3.64 acres owned by Sheridan Heights Ranch LLC from the city, and Ordinance 2297 (PL‑25‑26) annexed 4.15 acres the city owns back into city limits. Schroeder said the County Commissioners prepared a deannexation report and found little to no expected impacts to county services because the land is undeveloped and will become part of the conservation tract. Council voted by roll call on the deannexation and annexation; recorded votes on the annexation showed Council Members Lightnam, Wood, Lumen, Weitzel, Brance and Mayor Bridger voting aye.

On zoning, the council approved Ordinance 2296 (PL‑25‑22), rezoning 1.78 acres at 1140 Coffeen Avenue from B‑1 (neighborhood/business) to M‑1 (industrial) so the Derby Club may continue pari‑mutuel wagering at that location. Kelly Schroeder told the council staff had requested the zoning be corrected ahead of the 2026 liquor‑license renewal; Planning Commission had voted unanimously to recommend approval and staff recommended approval. During the vote Council Member Wood announced an abstention; the record shows the motion carried with Council Members Lumen, Weitzel, Brandt, Lightnam and Mayor Bridger voting aye.

The council approved an administrative ownership transfer for retail liquor license No. 22 (Verdello LLC to Verdello Market, Inc.), a resolution revoking the standing audit committee established in 2019 (Res. 20425) and authorized the mayor to sign a memorandum related to dissolution and distribution of member investment returns for the North East Wyoming Growth Alliance (NUGA). The City Administrator told council the audit‑committee resolution was intended to be rescinded because current audit and oversight processes remain in place and a temporary committee could be formed if future issues arise.

The evening’s consent agenda — minutes from the Aug. 18 regular meeting and claims — passed by voice vote. Several measures that were handled by voice vote did not include a detailed roll‑call tally in the meeting record.

What it means

The land‑use votes tidy up a municipal boundary mismatch created by an earlier property line adjustment at Kendrick Golf Course and allow a long‑standing gambling operation to remain at its current location under consistent zoning. Several administrative items rescind a standing committee created in 2019 and complete a regional economic‑development dissolution that has been inactive since about 2020.

Council members and staff noted that the Gillespie Draw subdivision is outside the city’s urban service area and therefore will use wells and septic systems; the deannexed tracts will become part of a conservation tract and the county reported no expected service impacts.

Cates family representatives (identified in the meeting as Cash, Lee and Chance) joined the council for the ceremonial proclamation. Meeting remarks from the family and a foundation representative said Jason’s Friends Foundation supports more than 175 Wyoming families whose children have been diagnosed with cancer, brain or spinal‑cord tumors and provides assistance until a child reaches 21 years of age. The foundation reported enrolling 19 new Wyoming families so far in 2025 compared with totals of 21 in 2024 and 21 in 2023, and said it has expended more than $8,650,000 directly to Wyoming families since 1996.

The proclamation notes that more than 70 Wyoming children have died of cancer, brain or spinal‑cord tumors in the last 29 years and recognizes September as the international observance of childhood cancer awareness month. During the presentation a child named Kayson, introduced by the family, was identified as officially cancer‑free; council members and attendees offered congratulations.

Why it matters

The proclamation formally recognizes the local impact of pediatric cancer and highlights the role of a nonprofit that provides financial and emotional assistance to affected families. Foundation figures presented at the meeting show increased enrollments in 2025 and a long history of direct assistance to families.

Garcia said the Building Division issued about 192 residential and commercial building permits through August this year, compared with roughly 172 at the same point last year. She said that Valley View subdivision (on West Fifth near the welcome center) will include 28 townhome units at build‑out; Weston Village (a community land trust) is also underway with a mix of single‑family and townhome units.

Among larger commercial projects she named were the First Interstate Bank building downtown, the Katy Building hotel addition (with exterior work ongoing), a Holiday Inn Express under construction on Brundage Lane that will total about 150 rooms, and Teriyaki Madness (which received a certificate of occupancy and was preparing to open in September). Garcia also reported that the city’s plumbing and electrical inspector obtained master electrical certification.

Garcia told council roofing permits have surged after a major hailstorm last year and that the division has processed nearly 1,500 roofing permits. She said the department has placed emphasis on verifying contractor licensing, bonds and insurance for repairs. Garcia also said code‑compliance staff now review projects early and at final inspection to verify sidewalks, curb and gutter are ready for occupancy and to protect city right‑of‑way assets.

Council questions touched on plan review (Garcia said inspectors currently perform plan review in‑house and larger commercial projects would prompt discussion about external review) and on the future of the original First Interstate Bank building (Garcia said she had heard only rumors that it might become a boutique motel; no formal plans had been submitted).

Ryan Landis, director of operations, and Ryan Koltyska, director of development, presented service data and financing details and said $80,000 from GPET funds supported the support center and Help at Home services during the last fiscal year. Landis said Help at Home served 165 unique clients from July 1 to June 30, constituting almost 11,000 minutes (noted in presentation as 8,100 visits) and that skilled nursing was added this year after accreditation support from the Kieny Foundation.

Koltyska and other Hub staff described services and metrics: the Hub reports serving roughly 3,600 unique patrons countywide last fiscal year; more than 100,000 meals were served last year and the Hub expects an approximately 5% increase in meal delivery this fiscal year. Goose Creek Transit provided roughly 50,000 rides year‑to‑date, and the Hub’s dementia‑friendly programming led by Heather Comstock has served about 1,100 individuals this year. Staff said about 90% of Hub participants are low‑ to moderate‑income households.

Council members praised the transit and meal programs and asked clarifying questions about operations. Koltyska told council the Hub is one of Sheridan’s largest local nonprofits, has more than 80 employees and about 475 active volunteers, and noted the Hub resides on city land and donors and the organization have invested more than $15 million into its buildings over 45 years.

Koltyska said the Hub cut roughly $500,000 from its budget for the coming fiscal year but that no programs were eliminated; the reduction primarily affected staffing. He said the city’s GPET allocation is leveraged by state, federal and private funding to multiply impact.

Why it matters

City GPET funding supports services that Hub staff say cost far less annually than nursing‑home care and can preserve independence and reduce taxpayer costs. The addition of skilled nursing is intended to fill a previously unmet need in Sheridan’s community‑based services.
