The committee recommended approval of a memorandum of understanding between the City of Cheyenne and participating landowners related to the Section 20 annexation.
City Attorney John Brody summarized the MOU, saying it memorializes understandings between the city and landowners tied to the pocket‑9 annexation, confirms landowner support for annexation, and outlines the city's role in initiating and processing the annexation under state law. Brody emphasized the MOU preserves existing agricultural uses for landowners either through ag zoning or by statutory grandfather protection, and noted the MOU does not confer vested rights or require financial payments.
Landowner representatives were present, and no public opposition was recorded. Councilman White moved to approve the MOU and Doctor Emmons seconded; the committee voted to forward the MOU approval to the full council.
