Agreement Approved for Alpine Lakes Addition
The Town Council approved an Agreement between the Town of Alpine, Palisades Investments, LLC, and The J.M. McSweeny Revocable Trust regarding the proposed annexation and future development of approximately 61 acres adjacent to the Town.
Council members discussed the fiscal impacts of future growth, infrastructure planning, and the distinction between approving an annexation agreement and approving annexation itself. Staff explained that the agreement establishes the framework for future consideration and does not constitute annexation approval. The agreement was approved by a vote of 4-1.
Land Use Development Code Redesign Discussed
The Council discussed consultant proposals for a comprehensive redesign of the Town’s Land
Use Development Code (LUDC). Discussion focused on project costs, available funding, and coordination with the Town’s ongoing Master Plan update.
While Council members expressed support for modernizing the development code, no formal action was taken during the meeting.
Annexation Petition Certified

Planning and Zoning Meeting Schedule Updated
The Council approved Resolution No. 2026-029, amending the official meeting schedules for the Planning and Zoning Commission and Design Review Committee.

Council discussion focused on maintaining continuity within key administrative positions and clarifying existing payroll practices.
Infrastructure Funding Priorities Established
The Council considered project priority designations requested by the Wyoming Office of State Lands and Investments (SLIB) for the Town’s current funding applications. SLIB requested that the Town formally identify which project should be designated as Priority #1 and Priority #2 in advance of an upcoming Board meeting.
Following discussion regarding the Town’s infrastructure needs, Council designated the Well #4 Improvement Project as the Town’s Priority #1 funding project and the Sanitary Sewer Project as Priority #2.
Council members discussed the importance of maintaining a reliable water supply system through improvements to Well #4 while continuing to pursue funding opportunities for long-term wastewater infrastructure improvements. The Council also directed staff to prepare a letter supporting the Town’s project priorities for submission to SLIB.
