Council approves airport layout signatures, DEQ sewer certificates and Moyer grant; hears quarter-two finances

City staff member Zach summarized second-quarter revenues and expenses: investment income was up, sales-tax receipts were reported at about 62% of projections year-to-date, and many enterprise funds and departments were near or below the 50% mark for the year-to-date point; streets spending was higher early in the year due to planned slurry-seal capital work.

Staff requested council signatures on an airport layout plan required by the Wyoming Department of Transportation for funding; the council authorized the necessary signatures by voice vote. Staff also presented DEQ certificates of completion for sewer extensions in Cottonwood Village Phase 2 and the Stonecrest Subdivision, reported that city staff had inspected the work, and the council authorized signatures to send the certificates to DEQ.

The council voted to accept a Moyer grant to fund downtown America250 banners; staff noted the city would provide in-kind labor for installation and that a budget amendment will be required to record the grant funds. The mayor then moved the council into an executive session to make a decision when the body reconvened; council voted to enter executive session.

What happens next: staff will return with any required budget amendments to record the Moyer grant, complete paperwork to transmit DEQ certificates and airport layout signatures, and proceed with capital project scheduling for spring.
