Cheyenne County approves County Road 36 extension, advances fairgrounds electrical upgrades and offers in‑kind splash pad support
Summary
The board voted to extend County Road 36, asked for an updated fairgrounds electrical bid showing an approximately $6,000 increase and agreed to offer an in‑kind contribution toward a proposed splash pad pending final grant match figures.
Cheyenne County commissioners on April 20 approved an extension of County Road 36 from County Road DD to County Road Z and moved forward on several local infrastructure items.
Commissioner Rick Pelton moved and Commissioner RJ Jolly seconded the motion to extend County Road 36; the motion passed. The transcript records the passage but does not list a roll‑call vote total.
Earlier the Board heard from Chandler Kent about proposed electrical upgrades at the fairgrounds to increase power to the Community Building. The Board requested an updated bid showing an approximately $6,000 increase and agreed Kent should order the necessary parts and complete the work in the 2027 budget year.
The Board also heard a request from Rex Hyle of the Town of Cheyenne Wells asking for a financial or in‑kind donation toward a splash pad at Medicine Arrow Park. Commissioners gave consensus to offer an in‑kind donation and said the dollar amount will be decided after final grant match calculations are received.
The Board directed staff to seek quotes for an Arapahoe warning siren and to explore tower or building‑mounting options. No procurement amounts for the siren were discussed during the meeting.
