Summary of Proceedings

Special Meeting of the Cheyenne Governing Body: Transfer of Retail Liquor License

On January 23, 2026, the Cheyenne Governing Body held a special meeting to consider the transfer of an existing retail liquor license from Scooters Scoreboard Inc. to Westby Edge LLC, doing business as West B Edge Brewing, located at 714 West 20th Street, Cheyenne. The meeting was called on an expedited basis because the license was set to expire the following day, and the next regular meeting of the Governing Body was not scheduled until Monday, January 25, which would have been two days too late.

Discussion Items

Transfer of Retail Liquor License: The applicant, Mr. Westby of Westby Edge LLC, thanked the Council for expediting the process and noted that he had previously presented the history and future plans at a finance committee meeting. He offered to answer any additional questions. Terry Cassidy, representing Scooters Scoreboard Inc., expressed support for the transfer, praising the owners as excellent business partners and thanking the city for its administrative assistance.
Council Comments: Councilmember Ms. Liv spoke strongly in favor of the transfer, noting that it represents a continued effort by the Westbys that is already bringing positive results to the West side. She highlighted the potential for a micro market and suggested that the transfer is another step toward the future development of the Reed Avenue corridor, which runs near the business.

Key Outcomes

Approval of the Transfer: The motion to approve the transfer of the retail liquor license was made by Mr. Labourne and seconded by Mr. Escobel. The motion passed unanimously by voice vote. Mayor Collins noted that the license would have expired the next day, making the special meeting necessary to ensure the license did not revert to the city and to protect the ability of Scooters Scoreboard Inc. to sell it.
Next Steps: The transfer was approved, and the meeting was adjourned.
