Council approvals: airport alcohol ordinance, aquatic center fees, hangar lease, DBE certification and CIP adoption
Summary
The Powell City Council approved several agenda items including an amendment allowing alcohol at the airport, updated aquatic center fees effective July 1, 2025, a hangar lease, a unified disadvantaged business enterprise certification program and the capital improvement plan through 2030; bills were paid and one abstention was recorded.
At its meeting, the Powell City Council approved a package of administrative and policy items: an ordinance amendment to permit alcohol consumption on city airport property, an updated fee schedule for the Powell Aquatic Center, a hangar lease, a unified disadvantaged business enterprise (DBE) certification program to maintain eligibility for state and federal airport funds, and adoption of the Capital Improvement Plan for fiscal years 2026–2030.
Ordinance No. 3 20 25, amending subsection D of Ordinance 5 0 8 0 9 5 to allow alcohol on city‑owned airport property, passed on third and final reading. The council moved and seconded the ordinance and voted in favor; the motion carried.
Resolution No. 2 20 25 updated fees and charges for the Powell Aquatic Center and established an effective date of July 1, 2025, for the new fee schedule. The council moved and seconded the resolution and approved it during the meeting.
Council approved a hangar lease agreement with Orville Moore; the lease had been signed by the tenant that morning and council authorized all necessary signatures. The council also approved a unified certification program (disadvantaged business enterprise program) aligned with Wyoming Department of Transportation/FAA requirements to preserve eligibility for grant funding for the airport.
The council adopted the Capital Improvement Plan for fiscal years 2026–2030, which staff described as a planning roadmap rather than a binding spending commitment. A council member emphasized the plan is a list for future budgeting and grant planning, not an immediate expenditure obligation.
On routine business, the council approved payment of bills totaling $72,356.69; the mayor announced he would abstain from voting on agenda item 48 (Paltrow). All motions noted on the agenda carried during the meeting.
Votes recorded in the meeting audio were generally taken by voice; the meeting transcript did not provide full roll‑call tallies for every item, but the minutes state each motion was moved, seconded, and carried as announced by the chair.
