Cheyenne — At its April 13 meeting the City Council moved a slate of routine and substantive items across second and third readings.
Key approvals
- Multiple zoning ordinances (items 8–11 and related numbered ordinances) changing parcels to NR3 (Neighborhood Residential High Density) or other residential classifications were approved on third and final reading after committee recommendations. Recorded roll-call affirmations were read for each ordinance and each passed.
- The council adopted updated crosswalk criteria (resolution) to formalize sighting and treatment rules for pedestrian crossings and reaffirm Vision Zero goals; resident testimony thanked staff for progress on specific crosswalk requests.
- Professional services agreement: Council approved a three-year audit contract with McGee Hearne & Paiz LLP (doing business as MHP Assurance Services LLP) not to exceed $548,600 for annual financial-statement audits.
- Contract modification: Council approved change order #1 with JTL Group Inc. (doing business as Knife River) for the 2025 City Overlay Number One project in the amount not to exceed $217,150.20 to address timing/coordination gaps between divisions.
- Final plat: The council approved a final plat for 2900 Central Avenue townhomes after removing the plat from the consent agenda for separate consideration (item 21).
Votes and procedures: Individual roll-call tallies were read into the record for most ordinances (roll-call forms show council members voting yes/aye or recorded no votes where applicable). For contested votes the transcript records names and explicit yes/no votes. Several items were referred to the Public Services Committee for further review or were introduced for first reading where noted in the agenda.
What to watch next: The annexation west of Roundtop/Happy Jack Road (Cox Ranch) and associated zone-change and future land-use map amendment were referred to the Public Services Committee for discussion next Monday; the Reed Avenue appropriation will await final agreement with BNSF before funds can be expended.
