Votes at a glance: Rollins City Council approves purchasing policy changes, repeals Urban Systems bylaws and grants catering permit

Rollins City Council took several formal votes at its Feb. 18, 2025 regular meeting. Major actions included adoption of a purchasing-policy resolution, approval of a 24‑hour catering permit for an off-site event, repeal of a municipal ordinance codifying Urban Systems Advisory Committee bylaws, and approval of the consent agenda.

Votes summarized (motions and recorded tallies are reported as they appear in the meeting record):

1) Approve agenda Motion: “I move to approve the 02/18/2025 City Council agenda as presented.” (mover: Council Member Singer) Outcome: Motion passed; meeting minutes record the vote as “7 yays.”

2) Consent agenda Motion: “I move to approve the City Consent Agenda of 02/18/2025 as presented.” (mover: Council Member Zenger) Outcome: Motion passed; meeting minutes record the vote as “7 ayes.”

3) 24‑hour catering permit — Rifleman Club Bar LLC (dba Rifleman Club Bar) Motion: Approve a 24‑hour catering permit for Rifleman Club Bar LLC (liquor license No. 59) to cater the E Street Profits concert at the Parco Sinclair Historical Theater (Sinclair) on Saturday, Feb. 22, 2025, from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. (mover: Council Member Singer) Outcome: Motion passed; meeting minutes record the vote as “7 yeas.”

4) City purchasing policy — resolution adopting amended purchasing policy Motion: Approve the resolution authorizing amendments to the City of Rollins purchasing policy and rescinding prior purchasing policy manuals and amendments. Outcome: Motion passed; meeting minutes record the vote as “7 yays.”

5) City holiday schedule for 2025 (amended motion) Motion (amended): Approve the City of Rollins 2025 holiday schedule to include a municipal full‑day closure on Friday, Dec. 26, 2025, and a half‑day closure beginning at 12:00 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 31, 2025 (mover: Vice Mayor Daryl Garner; amendment and second recorded during discussion). Outcome recorded in minutes: “The motion passes with 7 nays.” Note: the minutes record an inconsistent phrasing; the motion was verbally recorded as passing, but the transcript records the tally as “7 nays.” The council did not record individual member votes in the minutes provided.

6) Ordinance — repeal of chapter 2.56 (Urban Systems Advisory Committee) Motion: Approve first reading and waive further reading of an ordinance repealing ordinance 4‑19‑94 and chapter 2.56 of the Rollins Municipal Code relating to the Urban Systems Advisory Committee (mover: Councilwoman Lumen) Outcome: Motion passed; meeting minutes record the vote as “7 yays.” The city attorney explained the repeal removes codified bylaws that duplicate a state transportation advisory committee framework and would allow the Wyoming Department of Transportation to manage the Urban Systems Advisory Committee procedures.

7) Executive session (personnel/confidential matters) Motion: Enter executive session under Wyoming Statute 16‑4‑405(a)(ii) to consider confidential personnel/employment matters (mover: Councilwoman Lumen) Outcome: Motion passed (online voting recorded); no public action resulted from the session beyond the council’s later certification that executive-session matters were handled in accordance with state law.

8) Approval of executive-session minutes (Feb. 4, 2025) Motion: Approve the executive session minutes of Feb. 4, 2025 Outcome: Motion passed; meeting minutes record the tally as 5 yays and 2 abstentions. The two abstentions are recorded as Vice Mayor Garner and Council member "Cielo" (as stated in the minutes). The record does not include full roll-call detail for these abstentions.

Notes on procedure and record The meeting used the city’s online voting tool for recorded votes during the session; the minutes frequently summarize tallies without listing individual member votes. A few recorded lines in the transcript contain inconsistent phrasing (for example, a passage that states a motion “passes with 7 nays”) — the city clerk’s official minutes or the meeting audio file should be consulted for final authoritative tallies. Several items discussed at length (notably the nuisance and abandoned-vehicle ordinance revisions) were presented in a preceding work session and did not have adoption votes at the Feb. 18 regular meeting.

Ending Council chairing and roll call: Mayor Jacqueline Wells presided; the council’s next regular meeting is scheduled for March 4, 2025.
