The Wyoming City Council on Dec. 15 approved a series of routine but consequential items covering grants, contracts, capital projects and software services and then moved into closed session for a legal opinion.

Among the items approved were a banking services resolution with Fifth Third Bank to update authorized signers for treasury management (Resolution G), a General Motors corporate giving grant to fund driver training and a police mentorship program and a Major League Soccer grant for youth soccer uniforms (Resolutions H and I), and a restated recreational facilities agreement with Godwin Heights Public Schools (Resolution J). City staff said the GM grant will fund roughly 50 teenagers to attend driver training and pair them with police community services officers.

Council also approved equipment and repair items including fitness equipment purchases and emergency rooftop heating unit replacements at Fire Station 1 (K/L), an ongoing water‑meter replacement contract with Ferguson Waterworks to continue installation of endpoints and remote read units (Resolution N), and a low bid for headworks improvements at the wastewater treatment plant that staff said came in under engineer estimates. The council authorized a three‑year cybersecurity contract for the utility plants with Sentinel Technologies Inc. to deploy a Darktrace solution using AI‑driven threat detection (Resolution S).

Staff described N as a continuing multi‑year meter upgrade: to date the city had replaced nearly 5,000 of about 23,000 meters, and the one‑year contract would install roughly another 5,200 meter endpoints; the goal is remote reads, leak detection and resident online usage access. On the wastewater headworks project staff said the low bid was approximately $3.4 million; an air‑handling replacement for a chemistry building at the wastewater plant carried an estimated $67,000 with contingency.

Council members also approved multiple facility maintenance and capital list items under Resolution T (police uniform clothing, senior center renovations, storage tank repainting, sanitary sewer study, and other small capital projects) and several budget amendments tied to grant awards. After member updates, the council voted to enter a closed session to receive a legal opinion in Granger v. City of Wyoming.

Several council members asked that staff schedule a follow‑up workshop on Brownfield housing‑TIF policy given the split votes earlier in the meeting. Staff will proceed with contract and grant implementation steps and bring back any required follow‑up documents to the council.
