# City Council - 11-09-26

The City of Cheyenne governing body meeting on November 9, 2026, approved Contract Modification No. 2 for the Reed Avenue project, not to exceed $1,166,647. Council members cited the project’s complexity and support from the Reed Avenue steering committee and Downtown Development Authority. During review of the voucher report, members also discussed two identical $164,455.15 payments to Model 1 Commercial Vehicles for three 20-passenger buses each; the mayor indicated the city had purchased two identical sets. Other listed payments included $12,252.50 to Lotus Engineering under Contract 8449 for data-center research, $10,770 to DHM Design for Reed Avenue design, and two $1,923.75 entries to BLM Design Group under Contract 8352 for drainage engineering. A resident requested supporting records and reconciliation; the mayor directed him to the city treasurer.

Council approved annexation and zoning actions, including zoning 5.06 acres for a data-center campus, with one council member opposed to the related zone change. The meeting also included debate over agricultural-use protections: a proposed UDC amendment clarifying grandfathered uses failed, and the underlying ordinance was postponed for two weeks. A separate ordinance addressing data-center and industrial development standards—including water, lighting, and noise provisions—was also postponed for two weeks for further review. Other development-code measures concerning livestock and electric fencing passed. No new contract award or vendor selection was identified beyond the Reed Avenue contract modification.
