Wagner Public Works Authority approves $63K contract for water plant cleanup

In the quiet confines of Wagoner City Hall, the air buzzed with purpose as the Wagoner Public Works Authority convened for a special called business meeting on March 26, 2025. The evening unfolded with a sense of urgency, as officials gathered to address pressing matters concerning the community's infrastructure and fiscal responsibilities.

The meeting commenced promptly at 6:36 PM, with the first item on the agenda focusing on the approval of the audit for the Wagner Public Works Authority for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024. After a brief discussion, the board unanimously approved the audit, signaling a commitment to transparency and accountability in managing public funds.

Next, the authority turned its attention to a significant contract proposal. They considered accepting a bid from Sandyland Environmental, LLC, amounting to $63,000 for the removal of water plant residuals. This decision was crucial for maintaining the efficiency of the water treatment facility. The contractor, already familiar with the site, provided a competitive bid, which was deemed favorable given the costs associated with mobilization. After a motion and a second, the board voted in favor of the contract, ensuring that the water plant would continue to operate smoothly.

As the meeting drew to a close, the members swiftly moved to adjourn, reflecting a productive session that addressed key operational needs. The evening concluded with a sense of accomplishment, as the board members expressed their appreciation for the collaborative efforts that keep Wagoner’s public works running efficiently.

With these decisions, the Wagoner Public Works Authority reaffirmed its dedication to serving the community, ensuring that essential services remain robust and responsive to the needs of its residents.
