Lee Enterprises LLC for repair of Taxiway A1 pavement in the total amount of $202,122.

Staff explained the repair follows an aircraft incident last year in which a plane caught fire and damaged part of the taxiway; authority staff said insurance will cover engineering and repairs. “There was a plane that landed because it was on fire and when it landed, it went ahead and burned on up and as it was burning up, it burned up out part of our taxiway as well,” said Mr. Mitchell of KSA, summarizing the incident and repair need.

The authority received two bids; the awarded bid was about $160,000 less than the other bid, and authority staff said the selected contractor is based in Edmond, Oklahoma. Mitchell said officials plan to phase the taxiway repair around March 17 and coordinate the work with planned airport marking improvements to minimize runway downtime. “We’re gonna try to phase this project in the March around the seventeenth,” Mitchell said.

The authority recorded unanimous roll-call votes approving the bid award and then the contract that corresponds to the award. The clerk recorded votes of Trustee Miller (yes), Trustee Scheer (yes), Trustee Fuller (yes), Vice Chairman Similescu (yes) and Chairman Tucker (yes).

Authority members confirmed the city attorney had reviewed and approved the contract form before the vote. No public opposition or additional conditions were recorded at the meeting; staff said the coordination between contractors should limit airport downtime.","The Durant Airport Authority unanimously awarded a $202,122 contract to J.

The action clears the way for a proposed residential subdivision that developer Danny Curry said will include 39 lots zoned R‑1, with a minimum lot size of 8,400 square feet and a minimum frontage of 70 feet. Curry said the project will use City of Durant water and sewer and will be designed to city standards, including sidewalks and street lights. “It will have 39 lots. It will be all R 1,” Curry said.

Council members cited a Planning and Zoning Committee recommendation in support of the request. Mr. Jackson, representing the Planning and Zoning Committee, said the committee passed the item unanimously.

Council members voted unanimously on both the preliminary plat/rezone approval and the emergency clause for Ordinance O2025-01, Section 2. The clerk recorded votes of Council member Miller (yes), Council member Shearer (yes), Council member Fuller (yes), Vice Mayor Similescu (yes) and Mayor Tucker (yes).

The council emphasized that the action on the plat is preliminary. Mayor Tucker and other council members said the preliminary plat will return to the council as the project details are developed. One council member asked staff to note the original administrative report’s wording and to ensure the record reflects that the request applied to the smaller Bronco Acres replat area rather than a larger parcel description.

The ordinance number the council referenced for the rezoning was O2025-01; the council approved an emergency clause for Section 2 to make that rezoning effective immediately. The council then separately moved and approved the preliminary plat by roll call vote; the mayor noted the preliminary nature of the approval and said additional review steps remain.

The developer said he will design grading, detention, sewer and water lines to meet city ordinances and that staff had reviewed water and sewer requirements with no outstanding comments. The council did not set a schedule for final plat approval.

Votes at the meeting were unanimous on the items related to the replat and rezoning. The preliminary plat approval was explicitly recorded as preliminary and will be returned to the council for further action as the design and infrastructure details are finalized.","The Durant City Council approved a preliminary plat and rezoning for property at the northwest corner of Rodeo Road and Highway 78, allowing a future 39‑lot R‑1 subdivision and adopting an ordinance emergency clause to make rezoning effective immediately.","actionData","errors"]
