Council roundup: ordinances and contracts approved Oct. 27
Summary
The council approved three third‑reading ordinances for zoning and nuisance code, a zoning map amendment, a traffic signal timing contract, and a bid for arboretum irrigation. Several other routine items were approved; select items were removed from consent for separate discussion.
Cheyenne’s City Council handled multiple ordinances, a professional services agreement and a construction bid at its Oct. 27 meeting. The key outcomes:
- Ordinance (item 7) — Amendment to assign zoning under the Unified Development Code to conform with Laramie County revisions: approved on third and final reading (unanimous recorded votes).
- Ordinance (item 8) — Revision to vegetation nuisance provisions: approved on third and final reading (unanimous recorded votes).
- Ordinance (item 9) — Zoning map amendment changing municipal complex and adjacent properties to Central Business District (CBD): approved on third and final reading (unanimous recorded votes).
- Ordinance (item 10) — UDC amendment for RV parks and campgrounds: approved on second reading (two recorded no votes); requires further committee work and final reading.
- Item 14a — Professional services agreement with Olteg for Del Range Boulevard signal timing improvements (Yellowstone Road to College Drive): approved; scope includes data collection and retiming across 15 intersections.
- Item 15a — Accept bid with Cheney Landscaping for High Plains Arboretum irrigation project (drip irrigation replacing flood irrigation; approx. 1,243 trees): approved; city staff said project funded in part by a state appropriation and must be encumbered before year end.
Several consent agenda items were removed earlier in the meeting for separate consideration (items 11, 14a and 15a); item 11 (Bell Building TIF) and both 14a and 15a were later considered and approved.
Votes and recorded tallies were taken by the clerk at the meeting and are part of the official record; the council took separate roll calls for the third‑reading ordinances. Items on second reading require a later final vote to be adopted as ordinance.
