The meeting commenced with discussions around Resolution 251099, which involved declaring the costs to be assessed and preparing a proposed assessment roll for the 2024 street improvement project. Following some initial confusion, the council successfully passed the resolution without opposition. This resolution was followed by Resolution 2510100, calling for a public hearing on the assessments scheduled for November 4, 2025, which also received unanimous approval. These resolutions were crucial for moving the 2024 street improvement project forward, especially given the necessary corrective actions and punch list items still pending from the contractor.

In a forward-thinking move, the council also approved Resolution 25101, which authorized the preparation of a feasibility study for the 2026 street improvement project. This decision stemmed from a workshop held in August, where the capital improvements plan, particularly concerning the Thurbeck ponds area, was deliberated. By acting now, the council hopes to mitigate costs and ensure that the project aligns with the school calendar, minimizing disruption to residents.

In parallel to infrastructure developments, the council addressed public safety enhancements through a detailed update on the Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) system. The Public Safety Director highlighted the system’s role as an effective alert tool. Notable statistics included over 1,100 alerts for revoked licenses, 440 for suspended drivers, and 116 notifications related to protection orders in the third quarter alone. The council was informed of a specific incident where the system facilitated the arrest of a suspect violating a no-contact order. The ongoing development of data-sharing agreements with neighboring agencies aims to further strengthen the system’s impact.

Additionally, the council addressed a personnel matter within the Wyoming Fire Department, acknowledging the resignation of Amanda Theal. Her contributions were recognized with gratitude, and she will be missed by the department. In the Wyoming Police Department, a request for an external hiring process for a sergeant position was authorized, anticipating the retirement of Sergeant Rod at year-end.

Manufacturing month was another significant agenda item, with the council passing a proclamation recognizing October 2025 as a dedicated period to highlight the sector’s importance to the local economy. The proclamation underscored that 93 manufacturing businesses employed over 2,400 individuals in 2024, contributing to private sector employment and economic output. An upcoming event at Split Rocks will offer students insight into local manufacturing opportunities.

In governance matters, the council tackled the appointment of members to the zoning board of appeals. The mayor suggested appointing two council members and a public representative to handle a building permit appeal. Although the appointments initially seemed straightforward, a vote was required to formalize them, which the council approved unanimously.

Finally, the council planned for a work session on October 21, 2025, to discuss ongoing due diligence for the property at 26263 Forest Boulevard. This session, crucial for reviewing findings from W Architects before the due diligence deadline, faced potential scheduling conflicts. However, a motion to approve the session was passed.
