City Council rejects proposal to set aside up to $10M for stormwater needs

CHEYENNE — Members of the Cheyenne City Council rejected a resolution this week that would have established a mechanism to set aside up to $10 million from the city’s general fund reserves for stormwater infrastructure. The resolution would have allowed the city to consider transferring excess general fund balances to its stormwater runoff management system account when reserves exceeded 365 days of operating expenditures. The city’s existing policy requires a minimum of 120 days of operating expenditures to remain in reserves. City Attorney John Brodie said at an Oct. 20 Finance Committee meeting that his office worked with Councilwoman Michelle Aldrich, sponsor of the resolution, and the city Treasurer’s Office to establish the mechanics of the resolution, which would use an existing stormwater account created nearly two years ago. City officials approved the city’s stormwater runoff management fee in December 2024. It would have charged property owners 24 cents per 100 square feet of hard surface area. The proposal faced significant public opposition and a legal challenge from local business owner Brian Tyrrell, who argued at the time that the fee was unconstitutional. Subsequently, members of the City Council voted 7-3 on March 23 to repeal the fee before it

Brody Medina, former president of the Cheyenne Frontier FFA chapter and eight-time gold medalist, was named national champion in the Agriscience Fair’s Food Products and Processing, Division 5, and in the Agricultural Proficiency Awards, Agricultural Communications — Entrepreneurship/Placement.
