Council appoints Caitlin Parker to Cody Public Arts Committee; high‑school seniors seek rec‑center graduation party
Summary
Caitlin Parker was appointed to the Cody Public Arts Committee; during public comment, Cody High School seniors Wyatt and Carter Gail asked the council to allow the senior party at the recreation center and discussed fundraising plans.
The Cody City Council approved the appointment of Caitlin Parker to the Cody Public Arts Committee and heard a public comment from Cody High School seniors requesting use of the recreation center for a senior party.
Cindy Baker (staff) presented Parker’s nomination as a housekeeping appointment following a resignation. Baker said Caitlin Parker is the director of the Buffalo Bill Art Show and would replace Renee Hughey on the public arts committee. Council member Sweat moved to approve the appointment; Council member MacIsaac seconded and the motion carried on voice vote.
Earlier in the meeting during public comment, two Cody High School students — identified in the transcript as Wyatt and Carter Gail — asked the council’s permission for a senior party at the Cody recreation center. The students said the event is planned as a walk‑in event with games and prizes, would run roughly from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m., and rely on fundraising and donations to cover expenses. Carter Gail described the rec center as an important community space for students who have used it since elementary and middle school.
Mayor and council members thanked the students for their civic engagement and offered their support; no formal council action on the requested rec‑center use was recorded on the meeting minutes in the transcript.
