2026-11-03 - City Council Pre-Meeting

calendar. I'm not going to go over it

necessarily with you unless you have

questions about it.

But uh the purpose was just to bring it

to your attention, to make you aware of

it. We don't need [clears throat] to

really talk about it, but a staff member had

informed me that it has been customary

to bring it forward in this manner and

kind of put it on record for your

schedules as you look forward. So um

that's really all I have to say unless

you have questions for me about the

budget calendar.

>> Any questions for the City Manager?

Awesome.

All right, agenda review. I know we have

some very

few items important items tonight and so

just anybody has any questions

um anything like that, possible

amendments that might come up. I think

there might be some in the script

possibly.

Um and so

anybody wants to talk about that

open it up.

>> So

um

couple couple of things

on um I was just

kind of wondering if uh

uh title 15 passes on third

on third reading

will we have a work session on the

resolution

coming to us

on the fees and licensing? I know it's

been in the packet for several months,

but

we've I I've concentrated

on title 15.

>> Councilor, I don't know that we had

planned that, but I don't see any reason

why we could not plan that if that's

what you would like.

>> Is that something you would like if it

does pass?

>> I I I would like to review it and

get a little more detail. And again,

I understand I've gotten the memos and

all of that, but

um

but I

at least like an opportunity to discuss

it before it goes [clears throat] to the

floor for

consent agenda or whatever be placed on.

>> Council okay with putting that on a work

session?

>> Sounds good.

>> Anything else about the gender review?

>> I I did have a couple of questions on

some of the items but

but no, I I should have called

work on comments so

I will

try to

go through if I get a second on title 17

and

if I get a second on that to

discuss a little bit more

on some of the concerns I've got and in

particular two operators

down the Yellowstone district that

moving on to third reading again

I've got

a couple of things on

title 15

that I'd like to discuss and so I've got

an amendment for that.

I'm not planning on a long debate

on title 15

I'm asking for

not

a tongue lashing

from counselor or staff

this evening. But

very straightforward so.

>> Awesome.

>> And if I could

so I noticed the state forestry

state of Wyoming forestry was doing a

controlled burn on slash piles that

they've got over on Muddy

and it

I'm [clears throat]

I'm wondering

you know at some point if we're looking

at all.

Um

I hopefully we will have snow

this winter.

Um

you know if

we would work with

um

the mountain district and the state

forestry I think would be

willing to help

plus our staff.

>> [clears throat]

>> Council that is certainly a topic of

discussion for us in the last two and

three and four months as we learned that

we had inherited all of that slash on

the mountain. So

we've been

hoping for conditions to get into a

position where maybe we could address

that in a safe manner. Chief and I

talked about it just a couple days ago,

but there was some snow up there. So

yeah.

>> Please come up.

[clears throat] Excuse me.

Yes, we have had discussions on that.

We actually once a month the area chiefs

we all meet together and at our last

meeting we actually had discussions

regarding that. Interestingly enough

state forestry and the US wildfire

services also attends those meetings on

a regular basis.

Our plan is is if the snow does stay and

and I know you're familiar with the ones

you just mentioned the ones on Muddy

Mountain they're smaller

areas that they're doing and they're

doing multiple burns.

A lot of juniper and things of that

nature.

Anyways we are going to utilize all our

partners and if if we're able to burn

the slash pile we will have to get a

permit through the DEQ

the state of Wyoming in order to burn

that. I've already discussed with

the Casper Mountain fire chief

the process of of starting that to get

the permit when the weather actually

turns where we're comfortable with doing

something like that.

>> Appreciate that.

>> Yep.

Any other questions?

Thanks chief appreciate you too.

[clears throat]

Any other questions?

Yeah Councilman

>> Thank you there.

>> Uh,

>> I actually

>> have a question about next week's work

session.

Looks like we have on the agenda land

water conservation fund grant for the

all wheel park, so I was just hoping

that

I would include a little bit

broader update about the status of that

project.

I just it's been on my mind

>> it will. Yes. Status of the project?

Yes.

>> I think I'm

>> We're going to talk about a bunch of

grants next week.

>> We're going to talk about a lot of

stuff.

>> Yeah.

>> I guess this is the regular agenda item.

>> right there.

>> Going to hit us with another thousand

page for the next week's agenda.

>> Yeah.

>> [laughter]

[clears throat]

[laughter]

>> Make it 2,000 why not.

>> So like, you know, this is six years old

so seven years old maybe. It's more

pages than I can handle. It's going to

>> [laughter]

>> All righty. If there's nothing else,

we'll go ahead and take a recess and

we'll meet out there at 6:00
