Mayor Kaysen: Open To Ideas For Cheyenne.

Cheyenne Mayor Rick Kaysen says even though voters overwhelmingly rejected to he idea of a city administrator earlier this month, he's still open to suggestions from backers of the failed proposal.

The mayor says one commercial paid for by city administrator backers during the campaign leading up to the special election had claimed that a city administrator could save the city $13 million annually.

Kaysen says if anyone actually knows how to save that much money, he is interested in the details, adding just because the administrator won't become a reality that doesn't mean the city shouldn't save money.

The mayor says he is likewise interested in cost-cutting measures that have been implemented in other cities that could be adopted in Cheyenne. Voters on November 10 rejected a proposal to create a city administrator by a margin of almost 2-1.

Supporters of the proposal, Including the Greater Cheyenne Chamber of Commerce and several Cheyenne City Council members, had claimed an administrator could more efficiently run city government

The mayor says he has ''no animosity" towards those who backed the proposal and would be interested in their ideas for improving city government.
