Council signs superseding municipal services contract tied to 28 West Phase 3; ordinance changes advance

The Wyoming City Council on Dec. 16 approved a resolution authorizing the mayor and city clerk to sign a superseding municipal services contract that updates the legal description for the 28 West Phase 3 Limited Dividend Housing Association (LDHA) housing project. Staff explained the change was required because the developer is including the former Frankie V's property in the project’s legal description.

Councilmembers debated whether adding the superseding municipal services contract to the agenda at short notice was appropriate. Councilmember Hill objected to the late addition and to the public’s ability to review materials; staff and other councilmembers responded that related staff reports and a pilot ordinance amendment had been published previously and that the change was largely a legal-description update tied to adoption of the pilot ordinance.

Council also approved Ordinance 17-24 — an amendment to define project and project property for the 28 West Phase 3 project — on final reading, and took related steps to ensure the municipal services agreement conformed to the ordinance changes. Staff said the developer’s planned closing was imminent and that the superseding agreement merely aligns the contract to the final property description.

What happens next: staff indicated the related pilot ordinance and contractual changes are administrative steps that enable the developer to proceed with the Phase 3 project; any subsequent developer requests that materially change terms would return to council for action.
