A public commenter identified only as a resident said, “Our children are at risk,” and asked trustees to “get those stop signs up and leave them up.” Another resident, Colt Warren, said he lives on Madison and that he personally will stop if signs are present, but questioned the effectiveness of signs for drivers who habitually run them: “If the stop signs are there, I'm gonna stop at them because I completely agree with you about the kids. … My only problem with that is that even if the stop signs are there, does that mean that they're gonna stop?”

Trustees and staff discussed alternatives and trade-offs, including replacing the removed stop signs, installing speed bumps (described in the discussion as “pumps” in one staff report), using rumble strips that cross the roadway, or deploying radar speed reminder signs. Staff said they had contacted other jurisdictions, including Edmond, for engineering guidance and that OG&E (the franchise item discussed later) would not be responsible for traffic-calming measures. County involvement was also noted: the transcript records that Logan County was contacted about issues tied to school buses' ability to make turns where signs had been changed.

Trustees raised concerns about maintenance costs and effects on emergency vehicles. One trustee summarized the tension: speed bumps or similar devices slow traffic but can affect emergency response and require ongoing maintenance; stop signs require enforcement that the town’s current policing resources may not be able to provide.

Staff said they would follow up with Logan County traffic control, the Edmond engineering department, and the university police (a callback was pending in the record) and would report back. A trustee suggested tabling the item for two weeks to gather more information; the transcript shows discussion of gathering additional information but does not record a formal vote to table or adopt a specific traffic-calming measure.

No formal action or vote to install or reinstate signs was recorded in the provided transcript; the record shows public comment, staff briefing and a direction to gather further information.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Special Meeting 3-25-2025","oneSentenceSummary","Multiple residents told trustees that removed stop signs on Asp are endangering children and bus routes; trustees said staff will gather more information from Logan County and other municipalities and return with options, but no formal action was recorded.","taxTitle","Coyle, Logan County, Oklahoma","taxId",63503,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6104153,"Coyle trustees discuss 25-year OG&E franchise, resolution to put measure to voters in June",1261,688075,1949340,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2792329-f6a75bd1706a8bec669ecd82373c786c&start=688&end=1949","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2792329-f6a75bd1706a8bec669ecd82373c786c/thumbnail_688075.jpg","/articles/6104153/Coyle/Logan-County/Oklahoma/Coyle-trustees-discuss-25-year-OGE-franchise-resolution-to-put-measure-to-voters-in-June","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6104153-85ebfc338078dc68000feb43bc609fd2/orig.mp4?Expires=1770781703&Signature=UdPnxQ6NQZwvfgmFpT1arQsha5Q9UTs1YXP0FwNsroh7AeNt-XIcYmP-lUoFOyzmc14yskl2PeUoiGGiYEC8qgBPwYEuIt9e1YLEy6mfzWoriUahx-TQM2A71kJLfw9B8F1XL~mP54~fGUMA~87xkybwu1CNZ36FV3brM09uS5yJwlI4XFypNgByGOeZhu9QnsuDks2jvWiIhL1rx1JNo8v9wtex0HOaQpIuRscQ-fHgaKw4ooBDsjlSMJ-wuJUQxhLEIi~y0~NCva0rWouBSmkVfxUH68sZLkONQY0Ma7TBfZOheYgwkdH2eSvfu6ZPs1O7YYpb~oCVBUWDcUxhCw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Trustees of the Town of Coyle discussed an ordinance that would grant the Oklahoma Gas and Electric Company (OG&E) the right to produce, transmit and distribute electricity within town limits for 25 years and considered a resolution to place the franchise question before local voters in June 2025.

The ordinance text presented to trustees would give OG&E “the right to construct, maintain, and operate a system of poles, wires and other facilities” within public rights-of-way and provide the town with a franchise fee set at 3% of gross revenues. The ordinance also says the company would pay the cost of a special election conducted by the Logan County Board of Election and that, if approved by voters, OG&E must file a written acceptance with the town clerk within 30 days.

“The OG&E … they will be covering the cost of that,” a staff member summarized during discussion. The staff member also said the ordinance contains an emergency clause so it would take effect immediately upon approval and publication.

Trustees and staff discussed how the ordinance interacts with existing town codes and the mechanics of using the county election board to administer the vote. A staff member described the package as including (1) the franchise ordinance, (2) an accompanying agreement with OG&E, and (3) a resolution calling for the special election through the county board. The transcript records the board’s consideration and a motion that emergency status be declared, but it does not record the result of any formal roll-call vote on the ordinance or resolution.

Key provisions included in the draft ordinance as read aloud in the meeting: a 25-year term, a 3% fee on gross revenues paid annually, a requirement that OG&E furnish annual statements of amounts charged, and an acceptance deadline of 30 days after voter approval. The ordinance text read in the meeting also states that any future higher franchise or excise fees imposed on the company would automatically increase the town’s share if applicable.

Trustees also discussed publication requirements and how the resolution and proclamation would be published if the board moved forward. One trustee noted the measure would be placed on a June ballot; staff answered that the ordinance would be filed and published in accordance with law and that the county would conduct the special election.

No final vote or adoption is recorded in the provided transcript. The board discussed the emergency clause and the administrative steps that would follow approval, but the transcript does not include a completed vote tally or formal outcome for the ordinance or the resolution.","Trustees reviewed an ordinance to grant Oklahoma Gas and Electric Company a 25-year franchise and discussed a companion resolution to call a special election run by the Logan County Election Board; the company would pay election costs and remit a 3% franchise fee, but the transcript does not record a formal vote.","actionData","errors"]
