Organizers requested continued provision of barricades, trash cans and other downtown support the city has provided previously and said they intend to donate some proceeds to the volunteer fire department. They proposed renaming the event the Wheatland Car Show and asked whether the city would allow a Wheatland logo on promotional materials.

Organizers discussed logistics: their tentative event date is Saturday, June 28; they estimated their best car count was about 68 vehicles in a strong year and as few as 30 in a weaker year. They noted the Sixteenth Street construction project, which begins in April and may close or disrupt portions of Ninth and Sixteenth streets, could affect the traditional downtown venue and Friday-night registration activities. Organizers asked whether City Park could be used for registration or as an alternate site.

Staff told organizers a one-day or two-day special malt-beverage permit process exists, and staff said they could help the group apply for that permit through the town’s licensing process. A staff member confirmed the group would have to work with beverage distributors.

Councilmembers expressed broad support for continuing the event and for providing barricades, detours and other typical city support. Councilmembers also asked organizers to keep the city informed of venue decisions and logistics so the event can proceed around any street-construction detours.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Council 2-10-2025","oneSentenceSummary","Organizers of the former Blue Mountain Car Show asked the council for permission to continue the event under the Wheatland name, requested barricades and support, said they plan to donate proceeds to the volunteer fire department, and noted the June 28 event date may conflict with the Sixteenth Street construction schedule.","taxTitle","Wheatland City Council, Wheatland, Platte County, Wyoming","taxId",68750,"location","Wyoming","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6341100,"Contractor reports Black Mountain water-tank work on track despite wind delays; steel expected in April",948,3645000,4593000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2258149-dee8d2991bee632d343c7d981596ee2c&start=3645&end=4593","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2258149-dee8d2991bee632d343c7d981596ee2c/thumbnail_3645000.jpg","/articles/6341100/Wyoming/Contractor-reports-Black-Mountain-water-tank-work-on-track-despite-wind-delays-steel-expected-in-April","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6341100-4705c3dcd64cbb21c55fddfe1d10603e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771148529&Signature=asvJ6XPlKiq8ADzN3Ko2dYWY8xLRMJlLbIwC3j4qSxBcJGT4M5h~a503zzJYQGsiIdNbEr4XzLFcXsOdF2z9znf2zOChykwRtk36WErKRQNvgRQYzuPce496JTHwEDUHw8cR07Uhf-AyfALotrqQJYIhghsruVLD3mKu1zDyrh5AJyqTe3F3SBSawel8z4jLS4YYILbNLrBEY6uej2uWZswHL6sowUEL4BzM9~obMDNNZoT~SGH~kiPcdjsGXWnd3PHFAFrf--wQnWDy6B1efqHJjryWJ-TyA43RLJkIivxwl~UmEYbXrbUFYsVkpwnu98tNpMFWtWDG8E4h87wHow__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A project manager for the Black Mountain water-tank construction told the Wheatland City Council the contractor has been on site since November and has completed most civil phases, is currently in the concrete-pedestal phase and expects the steel tank sections on site in early April.

“Landmark is the company that's building the tank. They've been on-site. They hit the ground running in early November,” the presenter said. The project team described construction details: a large reinforced concrete pedestal that will support a 500,000-gallon tank, multiple concrete lifts with quality-control testing (24-hour, 3-day, 7-day and 28-day tests), and remote temperature monitoring for each lift. The contractor uses insulated, fiberglass-faced forms and internal forced-air heaters after pours to control curing temperatures.

The presenter said wind has slowed work; tarps and insulation on site were shredded during high winds and crews have been recovering debris. “Anything over 30, 35 miles an hour, they shut down,” the presenter said, and the contractor's safety inspector — described as an experienced safety professional — has tight safety controls.

The contractor will weld most of the steel tank on the ground, coat it, then jack it into place. The presenter said steel is expected on-site early April and coating work is planned for late summer, which requires hot, dry conditions. The project remains on schedule for operation by October, the end of the contractor’s current contract, though the presenter noted some work is progressing more slowly than originally anticipated.

Council members asked about maintenance access and winterization. The presenter described an internal access tube, platforms and ladders meeting safety spacing and fall-protection requirements, a tank insulation system, heat tracing on inlet piping and a 24/7 mixer inside the tank to reduce stratification. The presenter also noted the town is exploring an aesthetic paint scheme (Bulldog and bucking horse-and-rider motifs) to be applied; painting will use project funds already allocated and the final pricing is being determined.

The presenter said the contractor and the town plan to use a local electrician for electrical work at the site and are seeking local contact information to obtain competitive pricing.","Project manager reported progress on the Black Mountain 500,000-gallon water tank: foundation and pedestal work underway, insulation and testing procedures in place, steel tank pieces expected early April and operational target remains October under the current contract.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6341105,"Wheatland Council approves two ordinances, a landfill monitoring contract and funds resolution; mayor authorized to sign ladder-truck loan",397,4299000,4696000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2258149-dee8d2991bee632d343c7d981596ee2c&start=4299&end=4696","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2258149-dee8d2991bee632d343c7d981596ee2c/thumbnail_4299000.jpg","/articles/6341105/Wyoming/Wheatland-Council-approves-two-ordinances-a-landfill-monitoring-contract-and-funds-resolution-mayor-authorized-to-sign-ladder-truck-loan","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6341105-472f12e3ed5b062b2412a59b4b792c17/orig.mp4?Expires=1771148529&Signature=VPuqne1EzKgxl4aHyBW~zYM6GGa-yjJJzmgkWETglLzwQEAjpvxEsJPhfyH1m3HagAD24elApIIXeIAiEfcJId8aACq5M0tBQXxF6s6JYr2aS-C-ctlOkV3tvV78YE7J4TXx0jfKdAjPpnIpIyccQ3WfVe4I~VmZu7-Cv7Pxtu56E4nrND6YMkJ1i~j6XGYV9hRyiUYBuWvp7LnblQus~loFB4TjW2JQEoSvLBxZ7dcgRFytMdK6sNvb~LsZdBDUB3HrTsJ6WAgyuCTKxTcqkyv9HKugYnD4hWeqp8j6i9zW7V4j3UVrDiKPVt4kdH7I9hxR-tUFTirL7VINZOdB7A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Wheatland City Council approved multiple formal actions during its meeting, including two ordinances on third and final reading, a vendor contract for landfill environmental monitoring, a resolution supporting a water feasibility study application and authorization for the mayor to finalize a loan application for a ladder truck for the fire department.

Ordinances: The council approved Ordinance 8 53 on third reading, described in the agenda as an update to Wheatley Mills Road uses requiring a special-use permit. Council members said there were no changes since the second reading and moved, seconded and approved the ordinance on a voice vote. The council also approved Ordinance 8 54 on third reading, a rezoning of multiple properties intended to “clean up and bring everything to the level playing field,” according to a council member; that motion likewise passed on voice vote.

Contracts and resolutions: The council accepted a cost proposal from TriHydro Corporation to provide environmental monitoring and reporting at the town’s old landfill cap. A council member stated the 2025 proposal was roughly “$446 lower than for 2024” during the discussion. The council approved the TriHydro proposal by motion.

The council also adopted Resolution No. 03-2025 supporting an application to the WWDC for a level-2 feasibility study related to replacement or siting of additional wells after a previously denied level-3 construction grant. Staff described the process as a long application and consultant-selection sequence with no local match required for the feasibility study; staff said a test well drilling component would be included and that successful study work would position the town for a future funding round.

Loan authorization: Council members moved, seconded and approved a motion giving the mayor authority to finalize and sign the loan application for purchase of a ladder truck for the fire department.

The meeting record shows motions were moved, seconded and carried by voice vote for these items; the record does not include roll-call tallies for those voice votes.","On third readings the council approved ordinances updating Wheatley Mills Road use and rezoning several properties; authorized a TriHydro environmental monitoring contract and supported a WWDC feasibility study application; the mayor was authorized to sign the ladder-truck loan application.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6341110,"Council approves retail, bar-and-grill and microbrewery liquor groupings after public hearing on late filings",325,814000,1139000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2258149-dee8d2991bee632d343c7d981596ee2c&start=814&end=1139","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2258149-dee8d2991bee632d343c7d981596ee2c/thumbnail_814000.jpg","/articles/6341110/Wyoming/Council-approves-retail-bar-and-grill-and-microbrewery-liquor-groupings-after-public-hearing-on-late-filings","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6341110-bf5b366d9fbb3566ab0765b4d591a12e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771148529&Signature=hdAwbt8Tij2PL9wVmhkrHtg8l0yPc2o~xBTbEigWGPeunJSQEl7be8tu6afYBHVJYHXVJle-Ur0il9UTKtCoYHJVvcOJozjuZw61Q9XOjoNdg9dyPRP~NtQA~9jC5sJyK17Cf5h3wbcF3NF52aeFct~9~-NVKs91si-Xj19Jr9pS2NThtHvlspyUcrIhtLGJNIHudf1YbGubE8M5TkcxhOMRsHElzZssNIwGsYoeLAbaB48oTAO9TIay~sEGvsXxKIAGdaArGKlrKaxXxG6-NZuPqu3BgMDZ8F7gSiLIPoJ5ppetgWsp7CDFnP166CmBSl8OkCfaUgYdA2txQQr06g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A business owner told the Wheatland City Council she had not filed sales tax regularly because she worked another job and asked the council for leniency as she added staff to help her meet future deadlines.

Council members and staff discussed the timing of state agency communications about the owner’s license status. “This was emailed to me on February 4,” a staff member said, and staff reported the liquor division later “released her.” Council members said the delay may have been a communication lag between the state sales-tax division and the liquor division, with one member noting a weekend fell between the dates cited.

After the public hearing portion of the meeting the council moved to approve a package of retail liquor licenses for multiple businesses. A council member moved to approve retail liquor licenses for Landmark Bar, Vimbos Restaurant Bar, Commodore Bar, I 25 Liquor, Safeway, Thrifty Foods, Big Dogs Lane Lanes and Guadalajara; the motion was seconded and carried on a voice vote. The council then approved a bar-and-grill grouping including Windy Peaks Brewery and Steakhouse and Skipper’s Lounge, and later approved a microbrewery grouping for Windy Peaks Brewery and Steakhouse; both motions carried on voice votes.

Council and staff said they would follow up on the specific delinquency and on processes to ensure mail and electronic notices reach licensees. Staff discussed using express bill-pay email notifications and adding administrative policy language about delinquent-call procedures so there is not a single point of failure when a customer does not receive paper mail. One council member said, “We can do a written policy on the calls, on the delinquent calls, on the shutoff calls.”

The council closed the public hearing and reconvened its regular meeting after the votes. No roll-call vote totals were read into the record; the minutes reflect the motions were moved, seconded and carried by voice vote.","Wheatland City Council approved three liquor-license grouping motions after a public hearing that included a business owner’s request for leniency over late sales-tax filings; council members cited state agency communications and procedural safeguards.","actionData","errors"]
