WYDOT has identified 21 property owners in the downtown area who intend to install fire mitigation sprinkler systems. The resolution, passed by a vote of 4 to 2. Councilors Andrew Patceg and Kristen Jennings voted against the resolution. Councilman Patceg.

The resolution states that any invoice not received by December 1, 2024 will be ineligible for payment. The program will expire December 31, 2024.
