The Sheridan City Council meeting on July 21, 2025, focused on several key decisions, including the approval of a significant bid award and updates to local agreements regarding tourism and emergency medical services.

The council awarded a bid to Aztec Corporation for the 2025 Sheridan Micro service project, totaling $203,920.10. This decision is expected to enhance local infrastructure and services.

In addition, the council approved Resolution 19-25, which authorizes bank signatories, and appointed Jack Woods to the finance committee. The minutes from the previous council meeting on July 7, 2025, were also approved without discussion.

A major topic of the meeting was the renewal of the Sheridan Travel and Tourism Operating Agreement. The current agreement, which was set to automatically renew for five years, will instead be modified to a two-year term. This change allows for updated terms, including an increase in annual payments from $40,000 to $60,000, with a 5% increase each fiscal year. The agreement also mandates that Sheridan County Bridal and Tourism provide the city with detailed revenue and accounting practices to ensure transparency.

The council also discussed Amendment B to the Emergency Medical Services Agreement with Wyoming Regional EMS. This amendment locks in the current monthly fee of $12,854.70 through fiscal year 2027 and relieves the city of the obligation to maintain an ambulance. Instead, the city will transfer its current ambulance to Wyoming Regional and contribute $550,000 by August 31, 2026, for the purchase of a second new ambulance. This arrangement is designed to streamline services while ensuring adequate emergency medical coverage for the community.

Overall, the meeting highlighted the council's commitment to improving local services and ensuring financial accountability in tourism and emergency medical operations. The next steps will involve implementing these agreements and monitoring their impact on the community.
