The governing body anticipates making a decision via a majority vote of all remaining elected officials at the February 19, 2019 City Council meeting.
Councilwoman Hill moved and Councilman Kinney seconded to approve the consent agenda which includes the minutes from the 01-02-19 Council meeting as published and all actions therein be ratified. Motion carried unanimously.   
Councilman Law moved and Councilman Kinney seconded to approve the agenda as presented. Motion carried unanimously.
Attorney Eddington read by title AN ORDINANCE AMENDING AND RE-ENACTING SECTION 18.04.060 OF THE TORRINGTON MUNICIPAL CODE, 2019 REVISIONS, RELATING TO THE CITY OF TORRINGTON, WYOMING, AMENDING THE ZONING DISTRICT MAP BY ESTABLISHING “R-3” ZONING FOR A TRACT OF LAND. Mayor Adams indicated that the ordinance establishes residential zoning for the property located at 2825 West C Street, the former location for Deluxe Body Shop. Building Official Estes commented staff recommends approval and he has received no public comment. Councilman Law moved and Councilman Kinney seconded to approve Ordinance No. 1209 as presented on third reading. Motion carried unanimously.
Attorney Eddington read by title AN ORDINANCE AMENDING AND RE-ENACTING SECTIONS 5.12.070. A. AND B. OF THE TORRINGTON MUNICIPAL CODE, 2019 REVISIONS, RELATING TO LIQUOR LICENSES. He stated that the ordinance involves an amendment to be consistent with Wyoming Statute 12-4-412(b)(iii) in order to allow the dual holding of a microbrewery permit and a retail liquor license. Councilwoman Hill moved and Councilman Law seconded to approve the ordinance on second reading as presented. Motion carried unanimously.
Attorney Eddington read by title AN ORDINANCE AMENDING AND RE-ENACTING SECTION 5.50.010. C. OF THE TORRINGTON MUNICIPAL CODE, 2019 REVISIONS, RELATING TO DEFINITIONS AND TERMS. He commented that the proposed amendment is in reference to the existing telecommunications franchise ordinance. The meaning of “local loop” was modified by eliminating the term wireless from the definition at the request of Visionary Communications, Inc. Attorney Eddington indicated that there was some confusion in regards to the definition change in terms of what the City would be allowed to regulate moving forward if the term wireless were to be completely removed. He stated that the modification of the definition would not inhibit the City from being able to charge a franchise fee for wireless use in the future. The problem with the term wireless is accurately defining it and implementing a suitable tracking procedure for that specific type of customer. He commented that he has researched the dilemma on several occasions but is still unable to come up with the appropriate solution. Attorney Eddington indicated that the amendment to the definition is strictly a method of complying with the request from Visionary as they have a service located within City limits now and are willing to pay a franchise fee for their hardwire and for the use of the City’s right-of-ways. He stated that a wireless customer could potentially be someone driving through the area and the difficulty with that is distinguishing the boundaries between County and City limits. Councilman Law inquired if staff would be delving further into resolving the confusion that was mentioned. Attorney Eddington confirmed yes, staff will further investigate and propose changes if necessary with future ordinance readings. Councilman Law moved and Councilman Kinney seconded to approve the ordinance on first reading as presented. Motion carried unanimously.

She indicated that the requested approval is a formality to ratify the catering permit that was approved by the Mayor and Council via e-mail on 01-10-19. Councilman Kinney moved and Councilman Law seconded to approve the catering permit that was approved via e-mail on 01-10-19. Motion carried unanimously.
