Press release from the City of Cheyenne: April 1, 2022 CHEYENNE – I enjoy our relationships with the military here in Cheyenne. We get to meet so many great people. One of those is Major General Fred Stoss. He was assigned to serve in Cheyenne three times over his career. His last duty was the Commander of the 20th Air Force. He retired last Thursday, and I traveled with a fun group to his ceremony. Fred's last job was Director, Plans, and Policy for USSTRATCOM at Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska. I appreciate his service and wish him great happiness in his retirement. We have not updated our employee handbook for many years. Our HR team has spent parts of the past couple of years revising it. I had no idea how involved this effort would be. So many people spent time giving feedback and now we have a great product. It is important to keep current, and I appreciate the effort and results. Our Chief Building Official (CBO) stopped by to talk about growth and how we need to make sure we are keeping up with hiring of inspectors. The building community expects good customer service, and our CBO is committed to making sure his department provides it. We will need to add some staff as building intensity increases. Visit Cheyenne hosted a great conference of travel planners. 300 folks came to Cheyenne, and it gave us a chance to show off our beautiful city. I was pleased to welcome and thank them for coming. I hope they will help us fill our hotel rooms in the future. I always enjoy the energy and enthusiasm these travel groups bring. This press release was produced by the City of Cheyenne.
