City Council - 10-26-26

The City of Cheyenne City Council meeting on October 26, 2026, included several infrastructure and spending actions. Council approved the Swan Ranch Development Agreement with Granite Peak Development and related entities, defining developer contributions toward improvements including auxiliary lanes and signalization on Wallick and Clear Creek Parkway, a portion of a roundabout at High Plains and Clear Creek Parkway, and a multi-use path. Discussion addressed waived obligations under earlier agreements, outstanding and unpaid amounts, and the agreement’s payment and infrastructure provisions. The voucher report totaled $2,831,381.16. During public comment, a speaker questioned emergency procurement for the pump house roof replacement by Legacy Construction Group, citing an approximately $1.365 million award and a $2 discrepancy between figures in city memoranda; the vouchers also listed $27,545 to TDSI under Contract 8317 for historic pump house repurposing and $2,500 to RTC Restoration for emergency board-up and tarping.

A proposed resolution allowing fiscal-year-end transfers to the stormwater account, capped at an aggregate $10 million and conditioned on general fund reserves exceeding 365 days of operating expenditures, failed. The sponsor described it as a mechanism for future transfers rather than an immediate $10 million appropriation. Other major actions included second-reading approvals of land-use and development-code ordinances and adoption of a special-use permit for Wyoming Downs to relocate an existing off-track betting facility. No other contract award or bid approval was clearly identified.
