Resolutions

A.

Consideration of a Resolution Amending the Schedule of Fees for FY2024

During the annual approval of the schedule of fees some departments fees were not updated or the new fee was inconducive to the division's business practices. Staff is requesting the attached changes.

Suggested Motion: I move to approve a resolution amending the schedule of fees for the City of Green River fiscal year ending June 30, 2023, with an effective date of July 1, 2023.

B.

Consideration of a Resolution to Establish a Process to Administratively Issue Catering Permits, Twenty-four Hour Malt Beverage Permits and Open Container Permits

The Wyoming Statutes allow for the issuance of temporary special alcohol permits. Under the City's current ordinance, the Governing Body is required to approve all of these permits. These are a routine process and are placed on the consent agenda. Several other Cities in Wyoming have established an administrative process to approve these types of permits. Staff would like to request that Council establish a resolution to approve these special alcohol permits administratively. Staff feels this will also allow the City to be more flexible with timelines and be more business friendly.

Suggested Motion: I move to approve the resolution authorizing the City Administrator to oversee the issuance of catering permits, twenty-four hour malt beverage permits and open container permits and act on behalf of the Governing Body.

C.

Consideration of a Resolution Approving a Subdivision Variance

The request for a subdivision variance was filed by Phillip Stanton. He is requesting the City to allow the lot depth to front ratio to exceed the two and five-tenths to one (2.5:1) maximum depth. The Planning & Zoning Commission reviewed the preliminary plat and the requested subdivision variance at their regular meeting on June 14, 2023 and unanimously approved the Plat contingent on the City's Council approval of the required subdivision variance.

Suggested Motion: I move to approve the resolution granting a subdivision variance, as requested, for the proposed Pipeline Estates Subdivision, a 4-lot residential subdivision within the City of Green River, Wyoming. 

VII.

Council Action Items

A.

Consideration of an Amendment to the CWSRF Loan for the WWTP Replacement Facility

The City has received a Wyoming Clean Water State Revolving Fund construction loan for the Wastewater Treatment Plant Replacement Facility. The City has subsequently requested increases to the principal amount of the construction loan, for a total increase of $17.5 million which were approved by the State Loan and Investment Board. The Second Amendment to the loan agreement will document these adjustments to the principal amount due subject to interest from $24.6 million to $42.1 million.

Suggested Motion: I move to approve the Second Amendment to Loan Agreement CW182 for the Wastewater Treatment Plant Replacement Facility Project and authorize the Mayor to sign the Amendment.
