At its Dec. 22 meeting the Cheyenne City Council moved a package of routine and substantive items: approval of a final plat tied to an affordable‑housing project, amendment and approval of an Esri enterprise agreement memorandum of understanding, denial of a retail liquor‑license transfer, and multiple board and commission appointments.

Final plat and affordable housing: The council considered a final plat for Scenic Development, Seventh Filing, which divides newly annexed property south of Story Boulevard into buildable parcels, including a parcel connected to the affordable‑housing project discussed earlier in the meeting. Developer Jaden Smith (Wasatch Development Group) addressed the council in support of the plat, describing it as consistent with earlier Ridgeview phases and asking for council support. Councilmember Seagrave moved adoption with planning‑commission recommendations and also moved to amend Condition A to remove the planning commission’s requirement for external access easements and revert to staff’s recommendation; the amendment passed and the council approved the final plat as amended with Mister Moody voting no.

Esri enterprise agreement (MOU): Council reviewed a three‑year update to the Esri enterprise agreement involving Laramie County, the city, the Cheyenne Board of Public Utilities and Laramie County Board of Health. Finance committee initially recommended an amount not to exceed $36,185; Councilmember Layborn moved a substitute (12/18/2025) that corrected the city's total share to include an MPO portion of $44,585 annually. Council approved the substitute and then approved the MOU as amended; the council recorded the three‑year total for the contract as $120,200.

Liquor‑license transfer: The applicant for a retail liquor‑license transfer (High Market Cheyenne / Cheyenne GS LLC) submitted a letter withdrawing the application. Despite the withdrawal, council discussion proceeded; Layborn noted the finance‑committee motion to approve had failed, and for discussion he moved to approve. After deliberation the council denied the transfer by voice vote. Mayor Collins noted the city’s timeline concerns and said he would call a special meeting if needed to keep other transfer applicants from losing licenses to city reversion.

Appointments: The council approved a slate of reappointments and appointments across multiple bodies — Preservation Board, Planning Commission, Building Code Board of Appeals, Fire Civil Service Commission, Police Civil Service Commission, Mayor’s Council for People with Disabilities, City‑County Joint Powers Board for Frontier Park Improvements, Downtown Development Authority and other boards. The mayor said he does not vote on appointments and some councilmembers declared conflicts where applicable.

Other housekeeping: The council passed the ordinance on second reading updating terms and conditions for sworn Cheyenne Police Department officers to reflect a 3% cost‑of‑living adjustment (as discussed earlier in the meeting) and approved routine voucher and revenue reports.
