Candidates for local and state offices outlined their positions on housing, public spending, public safety and government accountability during an audience-driven forum Wednesday evening at the University of Wyoming. UW’s Faculty Senate, Staff Senate and Associated Students of UW coordinated the nonpartisan event for the organizers, which opened with a two-hour moderated portion with all questions coming from the audience, followed by an opportunity for attendees to informally speak and mingle with candidates in the lobby of the UW Arts and Sciences Auditorium. Laramie City Council Staff Senate President Joe Castillo, moderator for City Council candidates, asked what they would do to improve deteriorating roads. Ward 1 candidate Nicholas Jesse said he was still learning how the city decides which streets get repaired, but wants to research funding and work with city officials, noting residents’ concerns about rough roads and ongoing water infrastructure work. Ward 2 incumbent Brandon Newman said he would continue funding infrastructure through the city budget and the sixth-penny sales and use tax, including street repairs and surface water drainage.

WY Fresh owners’ pleas met with silence at council meeting; mayor pushes back on criticism

CHEYENNE — Members of the Cheyenne City Council pushed forward four ordinances regarding agricultural regulations during a meeting that featured questions about clarity, and emotional pleas from a WY Fresh Farm and Farmstand owner that went unanswered. The proposed changes, which were discussed at a City Council meeting Monday, come nearly a year after the Kniseley family, who own WY Fresh Farm and Farmstand at 200 Walterscheid Blvd., began pushing back when they found out in January that their property was the subject of the council’s last round of county pocket annexations. The annexation item initially had a March 9 deadline, but due to consistent public pushback and unanswered questions, council members voted that day to delay the annexation until Nov. 9. Now, the council is considering amendments and additions to the city’s Unified Development Code (UDC) that would clarify agricultural regulations, allow gravel parking in certain circumstances, expand where livestock can be kept and permit electric fencing for some agricultural uses. First three of four ordinances The first agriculture ordinance amends the UDC to add and clarify specified use allowances, clarify processes for agricultural uses and provide definitions.

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
