Emily Roland, environmental division manager, summarized the project history: Phase 1 was built in 2019 from the land-plant area to north of Fire Station 3; Phase 2A will continue the alignment to just north of New Orleans Street (approx. 101st) and replace aging pipe while increasing capacity to accommodate projected growth.

Roland told trustees that Belt Construction’s bid aligned with the engineer’s estimate and that staff were confident in the contractor’s prior performance on Phase 1. Trustees approved the award by roll call and asked staff to bring construction scheduling and updates back to the authority during the project.

Authority staff will finalize the contract and return with an expected construction timeline and progress reporting schedule.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council Meeting April 1, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The municipal authority awarded the Phase 2A County Line trunk sewer construction contract to Belt Construction; the work will replace an aging trunk line and upsize the system for future growth.","taxTitle","City Council Meetings, Broken Arrow, Tulsa County, Oklahoma","taxId",69673,"location","Oklahoma","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6617055,"Broken Arrow hires HDR to lead PFAS compliance study; council approves $316,772 contract",493,4277000,4770000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2844029-26e4bcdc87f6034567c284bc3c626e90&start=4277&end=4770","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2844029-26e4bcdc87f6034567c284bc3c626e90/thumbnail_4277000.jpg","/articles/6617055/Oklahoma/Broken-Arrow-hires-HDR-to-lead-PFAS-compliance-study-council-approves-316772-contract","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6617055-0a7fc3769085cc164f15a51710dea1de/orig.mp4?Expires=1770396171&Signature=lKDhPb8nru-~ml0rAMvkiFSJfI50SaUmqhhE1T-eN8HAFfj8e-VqEE6w9IS1K6iiDIGZ6mmXPJRupmCxVG-fFvfQOy13UUvumNGFIjeGs-ld6BWjI36G~6XCDBDQKra7enyXcN3XxVlfiJ1ro~zTExsCc0h1gwySi9WSmNVff~UoIW4quNCbYRg9ioQ9kMeXp5hAX0LvBIgoY4a6cpHEEo4SKXUovu71Ip7fv8P0ZiYXXWOvoMz7tdVV64VJtx33kTbyaINX2WBmOmwhHliEofr3JLz4m4mIEsOxIo0VTE02TZ9NqdBGSNgs~i9kWjG29-EjLQk3lqLf8HTE9gVZiA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Broken Arrow approved a professional-services agreement with HDR Engineering to perform a PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) compliance study for the city’s water and wastewater systems.

Timothy Robbins, utilities director, told council the contract — for $316,772 and about a one-year scope — will evaluate raw-water quality, treatment-process performance and wastewater-pretreatment exposures in light of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s recently issued maximum-contaminant-level (MCL) rules for PFAS compounds. Robbins said the study will help the city establish sampling plans, public reporting and options for treatment upgrades required under the EPA timelines.

“We are taking this in-depth and attacking it on all avenues,” Robbins said, describing planned upstream sampling, treatment analysis and engagement with industrial customers to identify potential pretreatment needs.

Staff said the study will support a schedule of quarterly/annual sampling and consumer-report disclosures required through 2027 and will inform decisions on full-treatment systems to be in place by 2029 under the forthcoming federal compliance schedule. Council approved the agreement following staff recommendation.

Robbins and staff said HDR already has familiarity with the city’s water-treatment facility and has been engaged on previous master planning and design work, which staff cited as a reason to recommend HDR for the PFAS work.","The council approved a professional-services agreement with HDR Engineering to conduct a comprehensive PFAS compliance study covering drinking water, raw intake and wastewater streams ahead of EPA MCL requirements.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6617059,"Developer: Aspen Ridge sales strong; council authorizes timeline extension for Oakmont Hills multifamily",450,4650000,5100000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2844029-26e4bcdc87f6034567c284bc3c626e90&start=4650&end=5100","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2844029-26e4bcdc87f6034567c284bc3c626e90/thumbnail_4650000.jpg","/articles/6617059/Oklahoma/Developer-Aspen-Ridge-sales-strong-council-authorizes-timeline-extension-for-Oakmont-Hills-multifamily","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6617059-9c43ffd01e7c11c35a1c3b719b57dd40/orig.mp4?Expires=1770396171&Signature=jhjfqbnF2-5PPb5jgi9LTbvacQbidM--KPtLfO7u9O2s72y~92JF9YduSHbw53IxN2gcYCNFr9URWVWKdR7ELTTJissQrJkcHp2ImuiisDPx0Yf747jzOqEseNZ876q0kPY1d0kJCeBFw5q7B1DZ0yEPyv0nd~u2RUWbLeWLKq9COoHnL0U8Bt71B57V1gcUKT~KwQ0vCN0K50tcyPDAzhtMmtkrQXyyQrOQbz~nEgNwikzPMXWo14CbJEiD2dSxQHfOQHhXXbyShLSw9FnEGkN1-MBnxoHv~7yJqOGfon5HtZElAFzP3ecgxILV9VJRaLaN8aAoU4lGBxiszFyydA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The council heard an update on the Aspen Ridge / Oakmont Hills development area and directed staff to prepare a formal amendment extending the multifamily project timeline.

Norm Stevens, assistant city manager for administration, reviewed a history of the economic development agreement between the city and Oak Trust Development LLC, noting prior extensions, the 2017–2024 approvals and a 2024 amendment tied to the Reeser (now Brookshire) grocery anchor. Steve Easley, the developer representing Oak Trust, told council the retail anchor opened on schedule in August 2024 and said Aspen Ridge lots and in-line retail interest are strong.

Easley said the project has attracted significant interest and that he expects apartment construction to start once outstanding engineering plan corrections and cell-tower work are complete. He described the overall development as “almost sold out” at the original Aspen Ridge site and said negotiations are underway for additional in-line retail and a sit-down restaurant.

Council discussed tree-planting and buffering commitments for the multifamily site; staff and the project engineer agreed to adjust landscaping placement so required screening can be achieved without overplanting in constrained areas. The council accepted a staff recommendation to authorize a drafting of a fifth amendment reflecting new start and completion windows and suggested a start date of Oct. 1, 2025 with a 24-month construction window ending Sept. 30, 2027.

The council directed staff to return with the formal amendment for adoption at a subsequent meeting. No formal rezoning was required as the plat actions and prior PUD approvals were already in place.","Oak Trust Development’s representative told council Aspen Ridge is nearing sellout, and the council directed staff to prepare a formal timeline extension for the Oakmont Hills multifamily component with a proposed start of Oct. 1, 2025 and completion Sept. 30, 2027.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6617063,"Cox Communications tells council it has invested $38.5 million in city network; franchise expires 2027",747,742000,1489000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2844029-26e4bcdc87f6034567c284bc3c626e90&start=742&end=1489","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2844029-26e4bcdc87f6034567c284bc3c626e90/thumbnail_742000.jpg","/articles/6617063/Oklahoma/Cox-Communications-tells-council-it-has-invested-385-million-in-city-network-franchise-expires-2027","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6617063-b5bedcfda45d9d36a5ddeba3eba4362e/orig.mp4?Expires=1770396171&Signature=F8tlMihKPnGPnKl0z6Zg~vTQowntEn8xs-XwgirED6DDPIeI2otLNPoXuG~hXb3pcpIOG2Sjz9G~swMS4EdaY2PqRtqLmttgDXriXLm6-rZSvhcI8Omw~QHp9tfPN07k-uba04IvxrzfgNny8pqQdzAf6OSniyGfXIDw9Gwxsv~E8b0WFo2Xoql5onKMMxi39QMReVDGdIlZBW3Qo2LRS1tsrskM7cYwdT9PTMYkIUgpEpejrdSHSlGc9-ogynTx-DQ9F4-RjKyeJu8MWq8ubW2gRHpNx-uTOrq9kq3gdlCm8VR-gtnCjfyX7kBYr6v2PuMjdW7cUnex5x-LEfzVBA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Connor Carroll, manager of government affairs for Cox Communications, delivered the company’s annual report to the Broken Arrow City Council and described recent local investments, community programs and the franchise contract status.

Carroll said Cox has invested about $38.5 million in infrastructure work inside the city since 2021, upgrades that he said enabled multi-gig service across the provider’s footprint in the area. He told council that Cox pays roughly $850,000 annually to the city under the company’s nonexclusive franchise agreement and described community programs including a $9.95 broadband plan for eligible K–12 households and a $30 plan for other qualifying low-income households.

“We’re here for the long run,” Carroll said, noting Cox’s fourth-generation family ownership and more than 100 local employees in Broken Arrow. He also described Cox Mobile, rural broadband expansion partnerships, employee charitable grants and volunteer hours as part of the company’s community commitments.

Councilors asked about take-up of low-cost programs; Carroll said the most recent nonrefreshed figures indicated roughly 2,500 households had used one of the affordability offerings and he offered to verify and update that number for council. City staff reminded the council that Cox’s current franchise term expires in 2027 and that the city recently took an action to begin the negotiation process; Carroll said Cox looks forward to continuing discussions ahead of renewal.

Carroll also described Cox’s involvement with local economic-development site-marketing efforts and workforce outreach at events such as career fairs.

The presentation concluded with council members thanking Carroll for the update and asking staff to continue coordinating on franchise and connectivity planning.","Connor Carroll of Cox Communications briefed the City Council on the company's local investments, franchise fees, low-income connectivity plans and upcoming franchise renewal timetable.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6617068,"Votes at a glance: Council and authorities approve plats, contracts and ordinances",229,180000,409000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2844029-26e4bcdc87f6034567c284bc3c626e90&start=180&end=409","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2844029-26e4bcdc87f6034567c284bc3c626e90/thumbnail_180000.jpg","/articles/6617068/Oklahoma/Votes-at-a-glance-Council-and-authorities-approve-plats-contracts-and-ordinances","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6617068-741617e89db852f673e5bc85af358c49/orig.mp4?Expires=1770396171&Signature=iLTPu0uIkAhDb8FXvwE1kAkjvg-1FMIqaKdG1vSxvON7gD~Qxi6DzVcs-oONT3ZkVJSj9jg0~zIGh8aaxnsOXJUOBIaKRDxf85yulAvsE68Qstwb8l95RR6rg38eAfY55wHRMywu2kdG7d7HhzaNafU~CrPJm6d-1jkBJpBJy8mZ7nvv9HPn-omWXNvysDY5jUmdQTU~hvhg0-xG4sjrugdZojABOpJ31nQB3SN2hQzq3eVW1CzLafPiVOoLyBmo2QYw-y0bwQiYAbzn~aNJ08rfys7BMMQWAy4WKsNEH2SB1sOOQtiEjTzC3n41ZBOktySn3~1e5nWPZsX3Sm1taw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Broken Arrow City Council and its related authorities approved a series of routine and substantive items during a regularly scheduled meeting, including construction contract awards, conditional final plats, and multiple ordinance adoptions with emergency clauses.

Key approvals included awarding a concrete replacement contract for Meadow Heights to Ellis Concrete; awarding Phase 2A of the County Line trunk sewer to Belt Construction through the Municipal Authority; adoption of several waterline-easement-closure ordinances; and final approval of the Oakmont Hills conditional final plat. The council also approved a professional-services agreement to study PFAS compliance and a developer timeline extension tied to the Aspen Ridge/Oakmont development area.

Several items were handled by roll call votes after public presentations and staff recommendations. Staff supplied bid and project estimates for the construction items and said engineering reviews remain ongoing for some plats before field work begins. Ordinances closing waterline easements were previewed earlier and adopted as drafted. The meeting record shows motions and seconds on the listed items and subsequent roll-call approvals.
