Annexation and zoning

Roundtop Road Business Park Annexation

  • Annexation of land west of Roundtop Road and south of Happy Jack Road, third and final reading (ordinance 4691). Reporting for the Public Services Committee, Aldrich moved approval, seconded by Emmons. Carried; all members present voted yes except Moody (no).

  • Public comment on the annexation: Heather Madrid, Brian Pixley and Charles Miller. On the zoning: Madrid and Miller. Mayor Collins and Emmons commented on the annexation.

Annexation Referendum Declaratory Judgment

  • In open session after the executive session, Segrave moved to authorize the City Attorney to investigate, prepare and, in the exercise of professional judgment, commence and prosecute a declaratory judgment action under the Uniform Declaratory Judgments Act. The action would seek a judicial determination of whether an annexation ordinance is subject to the municipal referendum process or whether the annexation-challenge procedure of Wyoming Statute 15-1-409 controls to the exclusion of the referendum. Esquibel seconded.
  • Carried; all members present voted yes except Moody (no). Aldrich, Mayor Collins, Emmons, Esquibel, Moody, Segrave and White commented.
  • Staff present in the executive session: Amber Ash (the Mayor's Chief of Staff), City Attorney Brodie and the City Clerk. The Clerk's note says Laybourn left before the executive session. The regular meeting did not conclude at the end of the executive session.
