The Henryetta City Council has scheduled a special meeting for Friday at 12 p.m. in the Council Chambers at 115 S. 4th Street. The meeting will address key municipal projects, including infrastructure improvements, public safety vehicle acquisitions and budget allocations.
One of the primary agenda items is the awarding of a bid for the Jim Hall Lake Spillway Improvements Project. The project aims to enhance the integrity of the spillway, ensuring its long-term functionality and safety for the community. Council members will review submitted bids and determine the best course of action for proceeding with the necessary improvements.
Another significant topic on the agenda is the purchase of a new Fire Department vehicle. The city is considering acquiring the vehicle at state bid pricing for $58,650.00. The purchase will be entirely reimbursed through an Equipment Replacement Grant provided by the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry.
This grant funding will allow the city to upgrade its emergency response fleet without impacting local taxpayers.
Additionally, the council will discuss replacing a Police Department vehicle that was totaled after being stolen. To address this urgent need, the City Manager is seeking authorization to spend up to $30,000 on the replacement vehicle. This expenditure is crucial for maintaining effective law enforcement operations and ensuring officers have the necessary resources to serve the community.
The meeting will conclude with an official adjournment following the discussion and voting on these key items.
