Cheyenne County commissioners table resolution after discovery of Xcel Energy pole work
Summary
County minutes show the Board tabled a draft resolution to temporarily modify Conditional Use Permit #2022-062 after discovering Xcel Energy had begun installing powerline poles on pedestals the Board had asked to be removed; the matter will be discussed with the County Attorney.
On Feb. 26, 2026, the Cheyenne County Board of Commissioners tabled consideration of a draft resolution that would temporarily modify Conditional Use Permit #2022-062 after county officials discovered work by Xcel Energy that appeared to conflict with the permit conditions, the meeting minutes show. Commissioner Jolly moved to table the resolution and Commissioner Pelton seconded; the motion passed.
The minutes state that county staff discovered Xcel Energy had begun installing powerline poles on pedestals the board had requested be removed and that the company had not reached out to schedule the resurvey required by the conditions of the permit modification. The board recorded no final action on the permit modification and directed the item be held until it could be discussed with County Attorney Kelly Lowery.
Darin Dickey asked to be notified if the board is contacted about meeting on site with surveyors. The minutes do not record any direct response from Xcel Energy or a firm date for a resurvey. No votes on the substance of the permit modification were recorded; the item was tabled for further review and legal consultation.
Next steps: the board will discuss the draft resolution with County Attorney Kelly Lowery before taking further action; the minutes indicate county staff will follow up as appropriate.
