We're in the still in the very, very early conceptual part, but I just, you know, from the talks that we've had with our architects, you know, and what we're, you know, what our vision is is to have it where when you drive down Lincoln way, you can tell or redrode that you can tell that there are tenants on that west side as well, you know, our businesses, I don't want to call them tenants, but businesses on that west side. 135 00:11:28,700 --> 00:11:34,820 And in addition, and you don't just think that when you look at the front of it, it's just a big liquor store. 136 00:11:36,560 --> 00:11:36,840 Okay. 137 00:11:37,740 --> 00:11:38,360 Mr. Wolf. 138 00:11:39,020 --> 00:11:40,160 Mr. Mayor, thank you. 139 00:11:40,560 --> 00:11:41,420 Through you. 140 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:42,700 Thank you, Mr. Johnson. 141 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:47,520 Really appreciate you coming for us and for this information. 142 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:57,040 Well, did I understand you correctly that you own this space now where the frontier trampoline is located in there a ten hundred years? 143 00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:03,700 That is correct. So that that entire building if you remember from or I should I should be the one that probably needs to remember 144 00:12:03,700 --> 00:12:18,020 But anyway, I believe back in the day that used to be the hobby lobby and it was a 60,000 square foot building and then it got subdivided in the trampoline park has 25,000 square feet of that. So yes, they are a tenet. So 145 00:12:18,020 --> 00:12:21,460 the building consists of everything from the 146 00:12:21,460 --> 00:12:28,880 rent a center to the west. And all the parking lot that goes all the way out to Lincoln 147 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:33,960 Way, you can kind of tell what some of the new seal code looks like out there from the 148 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:39,600 previous owner. And then it just curves out those two other buildings, the Aaron's 149 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:45,200 rent on and what used to be one of the dollar stores up there in the corner. 150 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:49,460 Mr. Mayor, follow us, sir. Thank you, sir, through you. 151 00:12:50,060 --> 00:12:52,760 So who owns the parking lot? 152 00:12:53,820 --> 00:12:56,940 We own the lot that's in ours. 153 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:58,100 I mean, it's a parcel. 154 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:06,400 And of course, you have the cross parking and easement agreements for the entire Cheyenne Plaza. 155 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:12,460 So we share with, I mean, you share cross access with what the old Sherry's building, 156 00:13:12,460 --> 00:13:18,640 the, you know, ace heart, you know, all of that, ace hardware, rent to center and on down. 157 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,320 I mean, everybody shares everything. 158 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:23,460 This is a, uh, it's wolf. 159 00:13:25,660 --> 00:13:28,960 There's the, the derbars Indian restaurant. 160 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:38,100 And then there's a new restaurant going in next to it is, is, uh, is that related at all to what you're doing? 161 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,080 No, you're not at all. 162 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:44,860 I mean, it's all different, and it sounds like I did not know about that other restaurant, but 163 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:57,900 That's exciting because I think as we all know, you know, being Donald's and Burger King and Wendy's, they all build across the street from each other because it's great for business. So I think the more restaurants we can attract into that area will be awesome. 164 00:13:58,340 --> 00:14:01,900 Thank you. Thank you. 165 00:14:01,900 --> 00:14:02,320 Dr. Alder. 166 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:08,600 Mayor Collins, who I just want to remind my colleagues that when a few years ago when we were 167 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:16,020 looking for a restaurant to have a council, a straw poll vote dinner at, we had a really tough time 168 00:14:16,020 --> 00:14:22,740 and more three finding a sit-down restaurant that was not ethnic cuisine that would have suited 169 00:14:22,740 --> 00:14:31,680 everybody's taste and, you know, food allergens and things like that. And we limited, there is really 170 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:37,580 limited space in our community for restaurants that have meeting rooms where there can be meetings 171 00:14:37,580 --> 00:14:44,840 and and meals occurring at the same time.

I do. 225 00:19:20,270 --> 00:19:21,810 Mayor Collins members of the 226 00:19:21,810 --> 00:19:27,230 sea council Charles Miller for the record. Tonight right now I'm trying to 227 00:19:27,230 --> 00:19:32,550 discuss item 90 ADSRO member and I'm of understanding extending through August 31st 228 00:19:32,550 --> 00:19:37,870 2027. Well this contract reads clean on paper we must view it through the lens of 229 00:19:37,870 --> 00:19:42,910 hands actual history with school-based policing. As our own local SROs have pointed out on the 230 00:19:42,910 --> 00:19:48,950 record specifically, Officer Fedella, the school resource officer at South High and President 231 00:19:48,950 --> 00:19:55,190 of the Wyoming SRO Association back in 2011 and 2012, National Reports ranked Wyoming as the 232 00:19:55,190 --> 00:19:59,970 number one state for funneling juveniles through the court system. Our SROs are trained. 233 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:07,680 The statutory citation noticed duty under Wyoming statute 146206C is actively utilized to keep 234 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:12,560 kids out of municipal court and direct it instead toward pre-court, diversion, and rehabilitation, 235 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:18,060 rehabilitative programs. True community policing means looking at the why behind student 236 00:20:18,060 --> 00:20:22,260 behavior not simply writing a ticket when our youth alternatives program is already managing 237 00:20:22,260 --> 00:20:29,760 high case volumes for juvenile crisis shelter and probation services. We must guarantee that 238 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:33,500 our SROs are using graduated restorative sanctions. 239 00:20:34,100 --> 00:20:35,780 I urge this Council to approve this demo. 240 00:20:36,060 --> 00:20:38,120 You tonight, though, with a firm directive to the chief of police. 241 00:20:38,340 --> 00:20:42,280 We expect an annual public reporting of all school-based citations, searches, and diversion 242 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:42,900 referrals. 243 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:47,360 Let us ensure that our SRO program is serving as a protective shield for student rights 244 00:20:47,360 --> 00:20:50,780 not as a conduit to the juvenile justice system. 245 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:51,700 Thank you. 246 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:58,160 Anybody else in the audience would speak to this SRO contract, which is our school resource 247 00:20:58,160 --> 00:20:59,280 office or contract. 248 00:21:00,530 --> 00:21:08,530 Hearing none, Mr. Escobo, may we have a motion please. Mr. Mayor, the recommendation of the Finance Committee is to approve and I so move. 249 00:21:09,070 --> 00:21:16,930 Second, seconded by Mr. White, Mr. Escobo. Mr. Mayor, I move to amend by substitute dated August 18th, 2026. 250 00:21:18,470 --> 00:21:29,050 Seconded by Mr. C. Grave, no one think I think that this substitute does clarifies that the school dasir will pay 75% of the salaries of the police officers, 251 00:21:29,050 --> 00:21:38,510 That which basically is the school year and then the city will pay the 25% of the summer when the school's not in session anybody want to speak to that substitute before us 252 00:21:39,890 --> 00:21:41,650 Hearing not how about from the governing body 253 00:21:42,650 --> 00:21:50,490 All those in favor please signify by saying aye. Aye. Those opposed the substitute is adopted and we're back on the main motion 254 00:21:52,030 --> 00:21:52,550 comments 255 00:21:53,650 --> 00:21:55,310 Yes, ma'am 256 00:21:56,050 --> 00:22:01,590 I want to ask about 4D on the contract. 257 00:22:02,430 --> 00:22:06,450 The city will provide cellular phones for use in official communications with district employees. 258 00:22:07,230 --> 00:22:17,670 Are these cellular phones in addition to the equipment that we already provide to the police officers or the SROs? 259 00:22:17,710 --> 00:22:18,310 Captain James. 260 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,740 Mr. Mayor, Captain David James, shine and please Department. 261 00:22:24,740 --> 00:22:28,780 Historically, the school district has provided the cell phone, the actual cell phone. 262 00:22:28,940 --> 00:22:35,480 But recently, we wanted to start using our dispatch integration with the phone. 263 00:22:35,900 --> 00:22:40,480 In order to do that and follow NCIC rules, it has to be a department-owned device. 264 00:22:41,460 --> 00:22:48,500 So they still are issued a phone. It's just owned by the police department and the school district reimburse us for the phone. 265 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,400 So that's the big difference. 266 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:52,560 Dr. Carl, does that answer your question? 267 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:53,720 It does, Mayor Collins. 268 00:22:54,520 --> 00:23:05,340 I just had one follow-up comment, and that is that having worked in a school where we had a very strong SRO presence for all 15 years that I was there. 269 00:23:06,980 --> 00:23:13,320 The SROs are quite honestly a vital part of our educational system and our student safety. 270 00:23:13,780 --> 00:23:20,200 And I would highly encourage my colleagues to support this contract and understand that a lot of the prevention 271 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:27,800 of what happens in our community or could happen in our community as criminal activity is prevented 272 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:32,620 through the SRO relationship with our students. So I would highly support this. 273 00:23:34,020 --> 00:23:36,660 Heather Cummins, Dr. Emmons. 274 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:43,740 Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I would like to echo what Councilwoman Aldrich just said. 275 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:49,680 As a member of the Juvenile Justice Joint Powers Board, every month we hear the reports, 276 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:56,580 of juvenile justice issues in the community and I want to make sure that everybody 277 00:23:56,580 --> 00:24:03,160 doesn't understand that we do have a very strong diversion program with in conjunction with 278 00:24:04,260 --> 00:24:13,350 the SROs and every month we hear about the successes that the SROs are able to achieve and 279 00:24:13,350 --> 00:24:21,490 up with our kids who may just be teeter and on that line. So I think it's incredibly important 280 00:24:21,490 --> 00:24:25,870 and I would also encourage all of my colleagues to approve this. 281 00:24:27,090 --> 00:24:31,210 Keep it also in the governing body.

I actually did a different item and Aaron did present, 316 00:26:33,530 --> 00:26:38,010 but she did her very best to try to explain this, but I'll put it in a little bit simpler terms. 317 00:26:38,990 --> 00:26:43,980 This really, the purpose of the agreement is to build on the previous study that was done 318 00:26:43,980 --> 00:26:53,260 by MTJ, we did that in 2019, when I first came into my position, the former city traffic engineer 319 00:26:53,980 --> 00:26:59,500 had found that we were having an extensive amount of PDO accidents, so property damage 320 00:26:59,500 --> 00:27:10,680 accidents, injury accidents were way down, but we still had an extraordinary number of these 321 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,180 basically three recommendations to us. 322 00:27:13,660 --> 00:27:15,540 We never implemented anything. 323 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:20,040 We had other priorities that were on the top of my list. 324 00:27:20,140 --> 00:27:22,800 And now I've been waiting to do this for quite some time. 325 00:27:23,300 --> 00:27:25,320 So I want to make sure that we did this. 326 00:27:26,260 --> 00:27:29,020 Now, as the purpose of the agreement itself is really, 327 00:27:29,020 --> 00:27:32,940 it's an update, as I said, we want to build on previous work. 328 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,080 And we want to look and to make sure that we've 329 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:42,480 approved or included the latest RAB technologies because things changed, right? 330 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,880 In my world, we have new ways of implementing different things. 331 00:27:46,500 --> 00:27:49,840 The MTAJ still is at still valid and what they looked at. 332 00:27:50,060 --> 00:27:53,680 So the purpose of this really is look update what was done previously. 333 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,700 And I guess update the traffic counts because those have changed. 334 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:00,420 We're going to observe the current performance. 335 00:28:01,140 --> 00:28:04,520 We're going to do a perform an operational analysis. 336 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:08,740 And then we're going to compare the findings of that 2019 report. 337 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,440 I've got, I've got a slide to show you what those worse. 338 00:28:11,620 --> 00:28:12,800 You can kind of see. 339 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:17,420 And then develop really the final improvements and the construction documents 340 00:28:17,420 --> 00:28:20,720 for implementation in the summer of 2027. 341 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,020 That's the primary purpose is obviously getting this out in the street 342 00:28:24,020 --> 00:28:25,360 and making these improvements. 343 00:28:26,340 --> 00:28:29,680 So one of the additional things that we're looking at that it, 344 00:28:29,780 --> 00:28:32,360 it was should have been done when I first got into my position. 345 00:28:32,360 --> 00:28:34,120 and could you go back for a second, Jennifer? 346 00:28:34,360 --> 00:28:34,620 I'm sorry. 347 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:43,500 Sure. 348 00:28:44,380 --> 00:28:45,820 On the right side of the screen, 349 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:47,320 the entry end of the roundabout, 350 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:49,680 this is coming going westbound. 351 00:28:50,820 --> 00:28:53,420 When Blue Federal Credit Union came in, 352 00:28:54,100 --> 00:28:56,740 we may or at a separate agreement, 353 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,920 we were on hook to do some, 354 00:28:59,920 --> 00:29:01,980 I guess, medians and some extensions, 355 00:29:02,140 --> 00:29:04,400 those medians, we've been having wands out there, 356 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,340 as you approach that westbound entry in 357 00:29:07,340 --> 00:29:12,700 from the east side, snow plows, then hit all those, we've been trying to get that done for a 358 00:29:12,700 --> 00:29:17,540 long time. So that's one of the improvements that's going to come automatic without any any debate. 359 00:29:17,780 --> 00:29:23,060 We have to get that in. And as you can see on the left, I just wanted to show you that crash history 360 00:29:23,060 --> 00:29:30,740 in 2014 through 2019. So the red numbers are those PDO accents I talk about. And then the blue are 361 00:29:30,740 --> 00:29:36,340 the injury accents. Now those are just ones obviously, it depends on the reporting at the time, 362 00:29:36,340 --> 00:29:41,060 but their minor injuries, there was no significant injuries. 363 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,500 And you can see the highest was in 2015 364 00:29:44,500 --> 00:29:47,520 with 84, 63, 30, you can see it's various. 365 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:51,180 And then as it's been in the last few years, 366 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:25,000 Numbers from the MPO, because they track that for me. I don't have the specifics, but off the top of my head. I would tell you there in the hundreds now. So it's getting worse. So I knew we had to do something. And that's why I wanted to put this contract forward. And again, this is for implementation. We're not going to restart a study. We're simply going to ensure that what we have is the correct way to go and implement anything that we need to do with a modern roundabout now. 367 00:30:25,860 --> 00:30:27,780 Let's see. I'll go to the next slide. 368 00:30:30,910 --> 00:30:30,910 Oops. 369 00:30:31,710 --> 00:30:37,130 Yeah. So there were three options that MT TJ came up within 2019. 370 00:30:37,810 --> 00:30:41,950 And so they went from a very simple and call it, I saw it. 371 00:30:41,970 --> 00:30:45,810 I say option A was to do some screening on the north side. 372 00:30:45,910 --> 00:30:48,150 And all of you have talked about this in several work sessions. 373 00:30:48,490 --> 00:30:53,010 But the issue is when you come down the hill going southbound and the roundabout, 374 00:30:53,010 --> 00:30:55,070 you have a clear vision of everything. 375 00:30:55,070 --> 00:31:01,810 And so what happens is drivers like to skip the gaps, they don't want to yield, even if there's traffic there, 376 00:31:01,830 --> 00:31:06,710 if they feel like there's a gap and they can build up speed, they sort of work their way around the roundabout, 377 00:31:06,930 --> 00:31:13,990 not the way the roundabout should operate. So all three of the options A, B, and C included that screening on the north side. 378 00:31:14,390 --> 00:31:18,810 Now the screening is not a big wall, right? We can't do that because I would have snow drifting. 379 00:31:18,810 --> 00:31:32,070 So in this particular case, what I envision this would be is sort of at driver eye height and above, okay, just a small screen wall that a decorative art element that would go in. 380 00:31:32,290 --> 00:31:45,630 That would block the vision of you being able to see everything through the round about now the bottom side would be wide open because I would allow then snow to go underneath the screening area that was I think I picture it as a piece of artwork. 381 00:31:46,330 --> 00:31:51,350 haven't really determined yet where we go with it, but an option for that to be art and then 382 00:31:51,350 --> 00:31:56,230 again, snow could go underneath, no issues. Now, the other part of this, which we've already 383 00:31:56,230 --> 00:32:01,290 implemented some of this, is at the time that we did this study, the markings on the roundabout 384 00:32:01,290 --> 00:32:06,810 were in horrible shapes. So we've since now Rick, A, and my current city traffic engineer is updated 385 00:32:06,810 --> 00:32:12,550 those markings. We have done some of that work already. So A, I can say we've done part of it, 386 00:32:12,550 --> 00:32:17,550 haven't done all of it. So B was sort of a what they would consider a moderate 387 00:32:17,550 --> 00:32:23,730 language modification. So you can see on Persian going westbound again, you have to 388 00:32:23,730 --> 00:32:27,510 extend that median. You know, we have a parking lot that was out of that that's 389 00:32:27,510 --> 00:32:31,230 using being used as business now on an or side. We want to make sure that median 390 00:32:31,230 --> 00:32:36,370 extends out so somebody can't make a left out of there going south to east. So 391 00:32:36,370 --> 00:32:40,150 that should have been done before. And then some of the simple things that when I 392 00:32:40,150 --> 00:32:46,690 this to you guys before was to, we're not going to change that from a two-lane to a one-way all the way around. 393 00:32:47,010 --> 00:32:52,490 What we want to do is make it practical and easier for people to use. So in this particular model, 394 00:32:53,070 --> 00:32:58,230 we were looking at, as you, if you look on the right side of the round about, as you're going around 395 00:32:58,230 --> 00:33:04,990 and going north on converse, it converted basically the northbound lane of converse into either 396 00:33:04,990 --> 00:33:11,290 to go right or going straight. So it just simplifies what's being done. You're not really changing 397 00:33:11,290 --> 00:33:17,350 the operational characteristics, meaning the two lane is still a large roundabout, but the markings 398 00:33:17,350 --> 00:33:22,670 are going to show it smaller and again simplifying the entries is what really converting that 399 00:33:22,670 --> 00:33:27,810 roundabout does. And then the third option sort of I didn't go through everything but more than one 400 00:33:27,810 --> 00:33:32,270 we were looking at and I'm going to go into detail on that. But that one had quite a few modifications 401 00:33:32,270 --> 00:33:37,790 is both on 19th Converse and some of the others that I just talked about, I'll show you this 402 00:33:37,790 --> 00:33:39,070 in a little bit better scale. 403 00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:45,080 Run, you get a nice mouse, it should help. Okay. So in this particular 404 00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:50,140 one that we had looked at trying to do, and this is the one we're going to build off of, it includes 405 00:33:50,140 --> 00:33:55,140 changes to the southbound. We're going to do southbound screening as I talked about, that's number one. 406 00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:59,580 We're going to recondition all the payment markings. We're going to extend the splitter islands 407 00:33:59,580 --> 00:34:06,620 of those protection islands on both eastbound purging and reduce the eastbound 19th to that single 408 00:34:06,620 --> 00:34:11,800 lane. And what that means is you can see that it doesn't convert the whole thing. It's just the 409 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:17,740 single lane as I talked about going northbound on purging on the right side of the roundabout. And again, 410 00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:22,940 as you enter the roundabout from southbound to northbound, you either have to go right or straight. 411 00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:29,300 You don't have that second option on the outside. Everything else remains the same 19th street. 412 00:34:29,300 --> 00:34:50,000 Again, gets converted to a one way because all that does is just build up two lanes that way right now and what happens is visually you can't see when you're looking to your left because you have two cars on that side of the round about you're not changing it again from a two lane round about to a single lane round about you're modifying entries to make it simple for the drivers to actually navigate. 413 00:34:52,240 --> 00:34:59,980 So the road diet for the West and South Legs, we talked about we're not sure that's what we're going to go because we want to make sure from a volume stand. 414 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:07,080 Thank you. Anybody have any questions for Mr. Cobb? Dr. Aldridge. 415 00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:15,520 I'm wondering if we have any data that is more recent than 2019, as far as accidents go. I think 416 00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:22,220 it was 2014 to 2019 and then we had COVID. And so I'm just kind of wondering if people have 417 00:35:22,220 --> 00:35:26,980 lost their collective driving ability through COVID or what has happened that weren't you said 418 00:35:26,980 --> 00:35:30,220 we're now up to 100 property accidents? 419 00:35:31,780 --> 00:35:38,340 I don't have the numbers in front of me right now, Dr. Aldrich, but I remember it's well into the hundreds now for the PDO accident. 420 00:35:39,140 --> 00:35:40,340 That's off the top of my head. 421 00:35:40,660 --> 00:35:42,520 I can get that exact data for you if you'd like. 422 00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:47,820 And we do have that data, the MPO does that every year, so we have that information to not with us tonight. 423 00:35:49,220 --> 00:35:49,940 Anyone else? 424 00:35:52,020 --> 00:35:52,700 Thank you, Ms. Cove. 425 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:54,260 Anybody else in the governing body? 426 00:35:57,670 --> 00:35:58,030 Mr. Mayor. 427 00:35:58,190 --> 00:35:58,590 Yes, sir. 428 00:35:59,250 --> 00:35:59,970 Thank you, Ms. Mayor. 429 00:36:00,310 --> 00:36:00,990 Through you. 430 00:36:01,810 --> 00:36:03,090 Thank you, Director Cove. 431 00:36:03,090 --> 00:36:21,450 What are you seeing in the way of changes in your traffic counts here as this street has become both the blue headquarters and all of it's affiliated businesses? 432 00:36:21,450 --> 00:36:30,690 And then, is there any more north south traffic, particularly construction traffic that's affecting this round of that? 433 00:36:30,870 --> 00:36:31,750 Mr. Cobb. 434 00:36:31,750 --> 00:36:33,930 Mayor, through you to Councilman Wolf. 435 00:36:34,030 --> 00:36:39,210 Sir, I actually, the council are actually going to go down because before when they did this originally, 436 00:36:39,670 --> 00:36:40,890 it was a grocery store. 437 00:36:41,350 --> 00:36:44,850 So that generates a lot more volume than what blue does now. 438 00:36:45,270 --> 00:36:47,470 It's certainly quite a bit different. 439 00:36:47,470 --> 00:36:54,310 now as far as construction traffic concern that that varies year to year. And right now we're going to 440 00:36:54,310 --> 00:37:00,450 do an overlay project just to the south of this and I didn't mention this before but obviously it's 441 00:37:00,450 --> 00:37:04,490 going to shut her down for a little bit so I got to make sure we counted the right time. Mr. 442 00:37:04,590 --> 00:37:10,070 Klaun is going to extend that south island. You don't see it on this but we've already going to 443 00:37:10,070 --> 00:37:14,770 implement that as well. We don't want to make people to make those turns out of blue federal credit 444 00:37:14,770 --> 00:37:19,930 into the left, there are ones there now, but Mr. Claw is going to take care of that for me. 445 00:37:20,130 --> 00:37:24,610 So I'm sorry I didn't mention that, but no, I don't see any major changes. I think the volume 446 00:37:24,610 --> 00:37:29,350 might be what we expected it to be at about the time that is now based on the original study. 447 00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:37,340 Other comments? All right, here you know, we have a motion in a second for this professional 448 00:37:37,340 --> 00:37:42,380 services agreement. All those in favor, please signify by saying aye. Aye. Those opposed. 449 00:37:42,380 --> 00:37:49,900 Mr. Moody and Dr. Rainier knows the professional services agreement is approved. 450 00:37:50,740 --> 00:37:54,840 Next item is number 10A on page three. 451 00:37:55,660 --> 00:38:02,380 Contract modification number one contract number 8374 between the city of Shayan and the Shayan downtown development authority. 452 00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:07,460 For the fiscal year beginning July 1st, 2026 and ending June 30th, 2027. 453 00:38:08,460 --> 00:38:11,200 All right, we have any comments from members of the public. 454 00:38:13,540 --> 00:38:17,180 Jennifer. Mr. Miller, you can go ahead. 455 00:38:23,010 --> 00:38:26,290 Mr. Miller. Can you hear me? We can hear you. 456 00:38:29,500 --> 00:38:40,120 All right. Could I ask you guys to describe this a little bit better than just the title of it? 457 00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:45,000 Mr. Miller, you have all that background information. All we're changing is going from the planning department to CRE. 458 00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:54,620 I'm sorry Charles Miller for the record.

It is Director Sanchez. 514 00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:48,360 So, I am cautiously optimistic. I'm going to support this tonight and look forward to seeing it really become the powerhouse that it could be to help our downtown merchants as we basically spend the money that they vote on and tax themselves for on their behalf. 515 00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:56,560 Thank you, Mr. Mayor, through you. 516 00:45:57,540 --> 00:46:03,760 I have echo the support of Councilman Labor and Councilwoman Aldridge. 517 00:46:04,860 --> 00:46:16,100 I've lived in Cheyenne for 52 years and seen the downtown developed in lots of positive ways. 518 00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:22,940 I've tried to attend almost all the DDA board meetings in the time I've been on the council. 519 00:46:24,660 --> 00:46:29,360 And I think this is a very positive step. 520 00:46:29,700 --> 00:46:35,100 I applaud the efforts of soon to be Deputy Director Mays. 521 00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:44,360 And of course, Director Sanchez, who have contributed mightily and the fact that this is Penny. 522 00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:53,640 the money in that ballot was approved by the voters and to indicate their support. 523 00:46:54,920 --> 00:47:04,460 And so I think with a lot of hope and encouragement that this is a good step forward and 524 00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:09,930 look forward to supporting it.

609 00:53:23,790 --> 00:53:24,410 Mr. Labord. 610 00:53:24,750 --> 00:53:30,670 Thank you, Mr. Mayor, I just have to express my personal opinion 611 00:53:30,670 --> 00:53:34,410 that I was influenced by some of the negativity 612 00:53:34,410 --> 00:53:43,610 that we've been having here at the meetings and throughout social media and really some questions 613 00:53:43,610 --> 00:53:52,130 that are growth and changes that concern me that maybe perhaps that public was not fully 614 00:53:52,130 --> 00:53:59,210 understanding and continuing our long history of improvement with the sixth penny. And I was wrong. 615 00:53:59,210 --> 00:54:09,350 I am really delighted that we could see that really strong belief out there in regard to those 616 00:54:09,350 --> 00:54:17,250 specific projects as they were chosen and that was something that obviously that sorting through 617 00:54:17,250 --> 00:54:20,850 and all that worked that went into that paid off. 618 00:54:21,470 --> 00:54:27,330 And I also want to point out that we're in a really unique position here with our reserves 619 00:54:27,330 --> 00:54:35,390 Looking back, I can't imagine that anything remotely approaches this. 620 00:54:35,670 --> 00:54:42,510 I mean, we are having an opportunity here with the support of the public to really move 621 00:54:42,510 --> 00:54:50,730 shine forward and I recognize that certainly as we can see in our upcoming agenda items here, 622 00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:27,540 In the data center question and how those business parks are going to operate, but I'm really, really delighted that the public had the confidence in us in the elected officials of those small towns were once again going to benefit from people investing in their own community and their own county. 623 00:55:27,540 --> 00:55:52,780 So this is an exciting time and I'm certainly glad to be here and I'm particularly glad that my concern was unwarranted and that the public is very much aware of what we're doing in support since so I'm sure we're going to have an opportunity here that past councils probably didn't. 624 00:55:52,780 --> 00:56:00,200 to have that kind of money and reserve. I think we need to do a real thorough analysis of what 625 00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:06,760 we need to do with it because there's a quite a number of needs and capital needs that are out there 626 00:56:06,760 --> 00:56:14,080 that we haven't been able to deal with yet as well as this building here. But when you have the 627 00:56:14,080 --> 00:56:21,020 support of the public and you have those funds in the bank, good things can happen and I'm certainly 628 00:56:22,780 --> 00:56:27,640 We'll have to be part of that and out of what was accomplished. Thank you. 629 00:56:28,380 --> 00:56:32,540 Mr. Labron, to follow up on that, I can tell you that we are the MBA. I think of the state 630 00:56:32,540 --> 00:56:39,220 for the support at the voters and the residents of Lairmy County give to all the communities 631 00:56:39,220 --> 00:56:46,100 Alvin, Pine Bluffs, Burns, Unacorporated Lairmy County in the city. Last time we asked for 632 00:56:46,100 --> 00:56:51,760 was at 130 million and we got 128 of it. And you know, it's made a difference in our downtown. 633 00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:53,380 it's made a difference in our roads. 634 00:56:53,780 --> 00:56:57,460 Public safety is greatly improved with the new fire stations and in this one, 635 00:56:57,780 --> 00:57:03,420 148 out of 170 million dollars was approved. And again, those dollars are going to go to downtown. 636 00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:08,180 They're going to go to the to the roads. They're going to replace the the swimming pool downtown 637 00:57:08,180 --> 00:57:13,520 that we had to close after all for 70 years of continued service because the bank didn't 638 00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:19,380 want to hold water anymore. And we're going to build another fire station and the greenway 639 00:57:19,380 --> 00:57:24,120 going to continue to expand and we're going to be able to maintain what we built in over 30 years 640 00:57:24,120 --> 00:57:29,500 ago now, or 35 years ago now. And so I just want to say thank you to the voters for their 641 00:57:29,500 --> 00:57:36,320 leadership and their vision. When I talk to mayors from other communities, they are so jealous of 642 00:57:36,320 --> 00:57:42,200 the support that we get from our residents. And I think part of that is we bring good projects forward, 643 00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:47,000 but also the voters, they just understand that this is so critical 644 00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:52,640 to our ability to grow our community and do the things that need to be done. 645 00:57:52,940 --> 00:57:58,000 I mean, I look at the expansion and the rip air of the jail. 646 00:57:58,560 --> 00:58:01,020 We just couldn't do those kinds of projects without the voters coming.
