potholes

According to police, one properly loaded semi has the same impact on the city's streets as 9,600 cars, which can cause potholes.

Cheyenne police are working with the city engineer to develop truck size and weight standards, and are offering truckers a chance to give their input.

Cheyenne Mayor Marian Orr says it's going to take more money to fix the city's pothole problem.

The city council meeting which would have normally been held on Monday, December 23, was re-scheduled until Thursday night because of the approaching Christmas holiday.

The contract, which would be with Simon Contractors, was tabled on a 6-3 vote.

Case writes "Mayor Orr suggests she did not use the word “emergency.” Refer to the Memorandum dated 8/9/2019. The word “emergency” is used FOUR TIMES!"

''I have not declared an emergency, the National Guard is not coming in FEMA is not coming in'' Mayor Orr said in a Friday interview with Wake Up Wyoming host Glenn Woods on KGAB,

Case said that normally the city council must sign off on expenditures of over $35,000 but that there is an exemption for emergency situations. He said he doesn't feel the potholes on Cheyenne streets right now meet that definition.

Cheyenne Mayor Marian Orr, in a memo to city council members, says the council doesn't seem to understand how the city's government is supposed to operate.

Councilman Case said on Friday " I'm not sure how this rises to the level of an emergency, to spend that kind of money without council approval."
