Oakdale City Council approves $528K slurry seal project with American Pavement Systems

The Oakdale City Council convened on April 9, 2025, to discuss various agenda items, including significant project approvals and community events. The meeting began with a focus on a major slurry seal project awarded to American Pavement Systems, amounting to $528,400. This project was highlighted for its competitive bidding, with the next closest bid being only $900 higher. Council members acknowledged the company's previous work in the city, including multiple slurry seal projects.

During the discussion, one council member recused themselves from voting due to a conflict of interest related to the project area. Following a motion to approve the project, the council voted unanimously in favor, passing the item with a 4-0 vote.

City Manager reported no additional updates, and the meeting transitioned to council member announcements. One member inquired about the upcoming Garden Club meeting, confirming it would take place next week. The Garden Club is known for enhancing the aesthetics of downtown and local parks.

The council also discussed upcoming community events, including a national holiday celebration featuring a cowgirl luncheon, a restaurant fundraiser for local scholarships, and a parade scheduled for Saturday. Council members encouraged community participation in these events, emphasizing the importance of local engagement.

The meeting concluded with a reminder of the rodeo festivities planned for the weekend, marking a vibrant time for the Oakdale community.
