Airport Golf Course cart path repair funding
The council voted 7-3 to take $250,000 from general fund reserves to replace dangerous, root-damaged cart paths at the Airport Golf Course. Critics called it a poor use of emergency reserves while storm drainage and streets go unfunded.
Vietnam War Memorial Wall at Lions Park
The city will spend up to $275,000 to buy an 80%-scale Vietnam Memorial Wall replica for Freedom Point at Lions Park, with veterans groups fundraising to backfill. Veterans testified passionately in support.
Parks in south Cheyenne
Resident Steven Love urged the city to plan a large south-side park as hundreds of new high-density units get approved, noting the area lacks a Cahill- or North Park-scale green space.
Historic Pumphouse rehabilitation
The city is spending up to $198,903 on design to turn the long-vacant Pumphouse into the Clean & Safe crew's home base, saving a historic building and improving the greenway connection.
Frontier Days parking and pedestrian bridge
CFD hopes to fix its long-term parking crunch with a 2,400-space lot on the base plus a bridge over I-25, asking the city to apply for $1 million in state matching funds while CFD covers the rest of the $11-12 million price tag.
