In a recent government meeting, officials highlighted a new program aimed at enhancing communication between first responders and the community. The initiative will allow police to receive real-time alerts about disturbances, ensuring that critical information is relayed swiftly to emergency personnel. This program has been praised by local leaders for its potential to improve public safety.

As the 2024 election season progresses, officials reported that over 1,000 residents have already participated in early voting. Voters are encouraged to educate themselves on the ballot items, including a significant proposition related to an OG&E franchise for a data center project, which will be on the ballot for Stillwater residents. Polls will be open from 7 AM to 7 PM on election day, and voters are reminded to check their designated polling locations.

The meeting also included a discussion on the approval of an extension agreement with MMO Partners for federal advocacy services, amounting to $79,102. This agreement aims to bolster the city’s efforts in securing federal support for local initiatives.

The council concluded the meeting with a unanimous vote to recess, transitioning into the Stillwater Utilities Authority meeting, where further discussions on consent items and advocacy efforts were scheduled.
