The Mayor’s Minute from Mayor Patrick Collins
This week’s Minute started on the base with the retirement ceremony of our friend, Colonel John Hundley. He is finishing a 32-year career serving our nation. He started off in the Army before joining the Air Force in 1999. His last assignment here in Cheyenne was the Deputy Commander of the 90th Missile Wing. I always get emotional at these events, especially when they are saying goodbye to their Air Force teammates and expressing love for their families. John served as the military chairman for CFD, and I am excited that he and his wife, Mary, have decided to build a home and stay in Cheyenne. The Air Force is losing a true professional but we’re getting a great addition to the city.

Some residents say short-term rentals contribute to the local economy while others say the units take homes off the market, limiting the availability of lower cost housing. The latest data shows that 69 short-term rental properties are currently operating in Saratoga as businesses struggle to find employees because of the housing shortage.
