Summary

On Jan. 12 the council approved a police employment ordinance (3% COLA and longevity-pay changes), amended and approved a 36‑month RingCentral telecom services agreement ($324,750.58 total), and elected Tom Seagrave president and Pete Layborn vice president for 2026.

Several routine but consequential actions were completed during the Jan. 12 Cheyenne City Council meeting.

Council elections: The council nominated and elected its leaders for 2026. Councilman Tom Seagrave was nominated and elected council president without opposition. Pete Layborn was nominated and elected vice president. Mayor Collins presided over the votes.

Police employment ordinance: On third and final reading the council approved an ordinance updating terms and conditions for sworn officers of the Cheyenne Police Department through the end of fiscal 2026. The ordinance includes a 3% cost-of-living allowance and adjustments to longevity pay for officers. The finance committee recommended approval and the clerk called the roll; the ordinance passed on third reading.

RingCentral telecom contract: Council pulled agreement 22a off the consent agenda to discuss a migration from the city's end‑of‑life on‑premises PBX to a cloud telephony service provided by RingCentral LLC. City IT explained the initial fiscal‑year spend of $65,000 did not reflect the 36‑month term and supplied a cost‑breakdown. Council voted to amend the contract total to $324,750.58 over 36 months and approved the agreement as amended. City IT clarified the service covers the city's desk‑phone/PBX replacement and does not replace cellular service.

Other business: Council adopted an amended 2025–2027 consolidated plan and 2025 annual action plan prepared by the Cheyenne Housing and Community Development Office (HUD entitlement community) on a vote with one no; several annexation and zoning items were referred to committee; and the council entered an executive session at the end of the meeting.
