Cheyenne council reports police policy updates, SRO contract renewal and $100,000 overtime for noise enforcement
Summary
Cheyenne City Council updated the city's concealed‑weapons ordinance to match new state statutes, approved annual police employment conditions and renewed the contract with Laramie County School District 1 for school resource officers, council President Mark Rennie said.
Cheyenne City Council President Mark Rennie said the council updated the city's ordinance regarding concealed weapons to conform with new state statutes, approved conditions of employment for the police department as part of its annual review, and renewed the contract with Laramie County School District 1 to provide school resource officers for the coming school year.
Rennie said the council has added $100,000 for police overtime in the current budget to increase patrols aimed at reducing speeding and night‑time motorcycle noise, an issue he and other members hear from constituents. He said Chief Francisco reviewed difficulties enforcing a noise ordinance and provided statistics showing citations have increased since May; Rennie said the chief found a model noise ordinance that was “introduced last night” and that it will go to committee for consideration.
Rennie described motorcycle noise as a frequent complaint from residents and council members and said the council hopes extra enforcement and the committee review of a new ordinance will reduce the problem. He did not provide the text of the concealed‑weapons ordinance amendment, the employment‑conditions document, the SRO contract terms, or the noise ordinance draft in the report.
