Cheyenne County Commissioners took significant steps to enhance local infrastructure and technology during their meeting on December 16, 2024. A key decision was the approval of a $10,000 allocation for airport snow removal equipment, marking a crucial investment in maintaining safe and accessible air travel for the community. This funding is part of a larger grant initiative aimed at improving airport operations.

In addition to airport improvements, the commissioners addressed the need for updated technology within the county. They approved the purchase of two new computers for the county attorney's office, totaling $1,950. This decision was made to ensure that the office is equipped with the latest operating systems, as Windows 10 will no longer be supported. The purchase will be funded from the existing budget, allowing for a seamless upgrade without additional financial strain.

The meeting also included discussions about a reimbursement process for a sheriff's vet bill related to stray dogs, highlighting ongoing community concerns regarding animal control and public safety.

The commissioners concluded the meeting with a brief executive session to discuss personnel matters, emphasizing their commitment to maintaining effective governance and support for county staff.

These decisions reflect the commissioners' proactive approach to addressing both immediate operational needs and long-term technological advancements, ultimately benefiting the residents of Cheyenne County.
