Gillette City Council Regular Meeting 6/16/2026
Published: Jun 16, 2026
Nuclear Development Transparency and Budget Approval Dominate Council Meeting
During public comment, residents raised concerns about the lack of transparency and public input regarding nuclear development projects, specifically mentioning BWXT and Kairos. Concerns were raised about potential risks, emergency planning, environmental impacts, water usage, infrastructure demands, and the handling of TRISO fuel and UF6. A resident asked for the 'cons' of nuclear development, noting that the council had only presented 'pros'. The council also approved the annual budget for fiscal years 2026-2027, with one council member dissenting due to concerns about inflation and infrastructure spending priorities.
Council Approves Multiple Bid Awards, Marketing Services, and 911 Grant Application
The council considered and approved several items related to grants and funding. This included a bid award for annual miscellaneous electrical service drops to Pearl Electric Incorporated, a bid award for annual trenching and boring services to MCM General Contractors Incorporated, and a quote agreement for lining manholes to Advance Lining LLC. Additionally, the council approved a professional services agreement with West Edge LLC for marketing agency services to recruit businesses and authorized city staff to submit an application for the Wyoming Department of Transportation's 911 GAP funding grant program for fiscal year 2027.
Proposal for Senior Subdivision Debated as Council Approves Land Use Changes
During public comment, a resident proposed the development of a senior subdivision on a parcel of land considered for commercial zoning, citing a growing senior population and a lack of such housing in Gillette. The resident had spoken with several developers but struggled to find one interested in a senior-focused project due to potential lower profitability compared to single-family dwellings. The council also considered and approved the final plat for Pronghorn Plaza, a resubdivision of lots for Gillette College, and the resubdivision of lots in Mountain Meadows for commercial development.
Resident Raises Safety Concerns Over E-bike Use, Council Discusses Board Requirements
During public comment, Christy Garrett expressed concerns about the dangerous behavior of unsupervised children on powered bikes and advocated for education and regulation regarding e-bikes. She described incidents of children riding three abreast without safety equipment, posing a significant risk to themselves and others. Councilman Smith inquired about requirements for younger individuals serving on community boards.
Procurement of Electrical Services, Trenching, Marketing, and Development Code Services Approved
The council approved several procurement items, including bid awards for electrical service drops to Pearl Electric Incorporated and trenching/boring services to MCM General Contractors Incorporated. They also approved a quote for manhole lining by Advance Lining LLC and a professional services agreement with West Edge LLC for marketing services.
