Staff reported the generator supplier has ordered equipment and is ready to pour the concrete slab; site-manager meetings were scheduled to finalize placement and gas-line routing. Officials discussed options for siting the generator inside or just outside an existing fenced lift-station area and considered a small security enclosure if space is limited. The council asked the site manager to confirm slab, anchoring and access needs before installation.

Public-works staff reported that the monthly water test has been completed and that a broken valve at the greenhouse had been repaired. The council also discussed a fire hydrant that would not shut off; a contractor said many town hydrants are more than 40 years old and recommended either rebuilding certain models or replacing assemblies. A contractor, Chris of Gregor Construction, described a maintenance program to map valves, exercise them and identify nonworking valves; he said crews had already located several valves unrecorded on town maps.

Council directed staff to continue coordination with the generator vendor, to pursue hydrant repair or rebuild options and to consider the proposed maintenance program for budgeting and scheduling. No major purchases were approved at the meeting beyond continuing site work and repairs already in process.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Town Hall Meeting 4-8-2025","oneSentenceSummary","Officials reported progress on an emergency generator installation, discussed fire-hydrant and valve repairs, and heard a maintenance-program proposal to map and exercise valves across the water system.","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},6274680,"Owner of historic downtown building and council discuss courtesy notice; council gives three months to secure structure",860,3122000,3982000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2986778-ab95d1f1e651c4b5856fc9f8506e97d5&start=3122&end=3982","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2986778-ab95d1f1e651c4b5856fc9f8506e97d5/thumbnail_3122000.jpg","/articles/6274680/Coyle/Logan-County/Oklahoma/Owner-of-historic-downtown-building-and-council-discuss-courtesy-notice-council-gives-three-months-to-secure-structure","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6274680-b035336e4f5bbe025701f891836ec851/orig.mp4?Expires=1771149176&Signature=i92UkcIFXap0RCojXxo8nnL~TomyM5aVDWNp7z1Bg4hcOnNe4Jbnkveag3Xrtbiv9VFP21zVpdAs~hPF~m4XH31yY7n86HYt55hYHjqOu98BSasweUSRucz34qDvGLEY0v~Js4YVVst7oCJgS6lfYaOj-ssLFNCattSRtmxM6v2wfNtYmIIrRe1mdG29zNiMzs9WvfwJqotf0ODThmOFRDH-kR7REOs-ZUQw38ao-WtXYuLFWZOhLu98Qt1K36XG4jeFfeYgvNiNA~6IrHX8mCZmG6964ndCvU2yHB9lK4XCT4Z2GlG-wZ9frOq0s5Fndlflg4l4gsfKSiblY9PkTg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","An owner of a downtown commercial building and the council discussed a courtesy notice regarding a reportedly dilapidated structure; the owner said she intends to repair and maintain the building and the council agreed to obtain the code officer’s report and give time to secure the property.

The owner described the building’s historic role in town and said she had pledged to preserve it; she said she has begun patching and planned further work but lacks the resources for a larger restoration. Council members and staff referred to a courtesy notice issued for a dilapidated structure; the notice was described as informational rather than a formal ordinance violation. Council members asked code enforcement for specifics and agreed to get the underlying report from the code officer, Henry.

The council determined the property must be secured and said it would allow a three-month period for the owner to take corrective steps or present a remediation plan. One council member said, “If you have fence around it and it's secured and the doors are locked and you have windows worn out and covers and people can't get into it, then by that theory and logic, it's probably secured.” The town did not issue an order to demolish at the meeting.

Council staff will provide the owner and the council with the code officer’s findings and keep the matter on the agenda for follow-up; no enforcement action was taken while staff collects more information.","The council reviewed a courtesy notice for a dilapidated structure in the downtown area, discussed the building's history and gave the owner time to secure it while staff obtains the code officer's report.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6274685,"Council approves purchase of a 25-gallon sprayer, tables computer purchase pending pricing",241,2770000,3011000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2986778-ab95d1f1e651c4b5856fc9f8506e97d5&start=2770&end=3011","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2986778-ab95d1f1e651c4b5856fc9f8506e97d5/thumbnail_2770000.jpg","/articles/6274685/Coyle/Logan-County/Oklahoma/Council-approves-purchase-of-a-25-gallon-sprayer-tables-computer-purchase-pending-pricing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6274685-51cbb061acca59964723871c68e6d619/orig.mp4?Expires=1771149176&Signature=MdYWKIjFbSAYeY32etFlk717uyDHp2LWmoZ-IuR3Ix9eSQ9-ZecNVDmBk-cOjOcchi9HcBEJJvoECsCWSY4PNMl1eMd7-P0tcP2m7~2ZgxlrxZEnpOMz7xkVo7qfTA8M5nAfji63s4S8u0phmiw5V5fpDmFBuJQfiCklwIStE74sC7uw-f~K8zdPbZmGSAniY69xp0J3XFKXHfZYDz~aRLBVtCtdJybsPfaRVRj83otGFxurAEdE4fk9H3H6Kvn1UlM8gRm0oSQct0fgKIJGD-paT3huTTV614j~~y92ds-PUgVymFkTbuiIdPMJWhxLQIxxdaVWcoFqP2OCwcjhfQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The council authorized the purchase of a new 25-gallon sprayer for municipal maintenance work and deferred a separate computer purchase while staff gathers pricing and software requirements.

Maintenance staff said the existing sprayer “nearly came apart” during last season and staff tested options. The board reviewed two sizes and accepted a Tractor Supply option priced at about $529.99 for a pump-equipped 25-gallon model; members discussed the tradeoffs between a 25-gallon tank (easier to move, less waste) and a 45-gallon tank (larger capacity). A motion to buy the sprayer was seconded and approved on a voice vote recorded as “Aye.”

Separately, the council debated acquiring an all-in-one desk computer for maintenance and a laptop or iPad for reporting. Staff reported refurbished options and noted that software purchases remain outstanding. Councilors said they wanted better price comparisons and durability before authorizing a purchase, and moved to table the computer procurement until more information is available.

The council also discussed tires and mower maintenance for town equipment; no final large tire purchase was authorized at the meeting. Members instructed staff to assemble quotes and return with recommendations.","Council members approved buying a 25-gallon sprayer for town maintenance and deferred a decision on an all-in-one computer until staff can obtain pricing and software costs.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6274687,"Fire department outlines equipment damage, grants and staffing needs after multi-day fires",557,1808000,2365000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2986778-ab95d1f1e651c4b5856fc9f8506e97d5&start=1808&end=2365","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2986778-ab95d1f1e651c4b5856fc9f8506e97d5/thumbnail_1808000.jpg","/articles/6274687/Coyle/Logan-County/Oklahoma/Fire-department-outlines-equipment-damage-grants-and-staffing-needs-after-multi-day-fires","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6274687-575457b6edcc411b9f5b66c6f4d53033/orig.mp4?Expires=1771149176&Signature=CvQhMCCNqg56P0L7c1j1FT~8ijsuIMRAEQa85LP4ZNM8CCfMhGxN~q4ypltGDyG1i16uS~w43fh-Ca5ZQjCuJ1OV0iYRfMSwAgzTqA7RDivCOCG6fpvewswuLTuREj0lNbOSApbGSk2WAXP2bEGEj6Xsl7jHkp8lmW5eeT-17rO2vo~6~3~uyH80UEd8VulgD1Q4~p5uH9l8I911Tm7DC2rLOZCpvzCPhYNCQXHq2E7WcVyIGnmJsz4GCTNWOP70eX1EA0c~soQ5WK-1MR9Acmh1wjfP~LQpsHoR811fNgeZ7u65DvhVPevMKQzmK86zSdovKH5r~meARsPBgwE5HQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The fire department reported on equipment damage, ongoing grant activity and resource needs following a multi-day firefighting response.

A department representative described multiple vehicle damages and said the department plans to file insurance claims for three or four trucks. The tanker’s fuel tank is leaking; a vendor offered to replace the tank for about $25,000, the representative said. The department reported receiving a $5,000 training grant and having applied for a forestry grant (usual annual forestry funding of about $12,000 and a separate forestry equipment grant the department reapplied for, about $100,000).

Officials discussed federal and state emergency declarations and reimbursements. Staff said the county is coordinating reports with the state, and that volunteer and paid personnel hours and equipment use are being tracked for possible reimbursement; the department expects some reimbursement to come through state and federal channels once a presidential emergency declaration is in place. One councilor noted that the city previously recouped nearly $30,000 after a past ice storm through federal assistance.

The department said six brush trucks make up the fleet and that one brush truck is temporarily out of service while crews repair starters and other parts; most units were returned to service after on-site repairs during the response. The council urged the public to contact elected officials about broader state funding and noted the importance of coordinating with the forestry department for aircraft and heavy equipment support.

No formal policy or budgetary appropriation was adopted at the meeting; the council requested that the department furnish logs and damage details so claims and potential state or federal reimbursements can be substantiated.","Fire officials reported truck damage, grant applications and requests for reimbursement under state/federal emergency declarations; brush truck availability and grant awards were discussed.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6274689,"Council delays traffic-calming decision, agrees to special meeting on neighborhood safety and event closures",1109,348000,1457000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2986778-ab95d1f1e651c4b5856fc9f8506e97d5&start=348&end=1457","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2986778-ab95d1f1e651c4b5856fc9f8506e97d5/thumbnail_348000.jpg","/articles/6274689/Coyle/Logan-County/Oklahoma/Council-delays-traffic-calming-decision-agrees-to-special-meeting-on-neighborhood-safety-and-event-closures","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6274689-869d0dddd8c9dfc28f5e7ab0180fc6b2/orig.mp4?Expires=1771149176&Signature=A9pssmUAfSitug-uR3CNXIF5GQ~SHkdEPAXCRNa1HEY8~6zC4E5sZO8h8DON3foJhamDz4nm0XfKS6JiUoUlHsfBoTu07tVQyD2ODKsnubNjrmwz6nvHTGlRV3d2yPLWL3q6aBKFWPVgKes8KXGQjmlDoCZV72F5ySqM5owOHNUev3qvCbetsOM70vLxq0dHAiQiVS1S84T5CacQiH6R1shYkXLl64YAU4Q5WzfppUzwbGgJIZgduDD5wLKLu23qsouy-~sLPZVM~reB2rQ6JwC8xwOPKSKPgQwhYx0SZDJYZprOOM-dofAk9XErYPi71Fd1JwG27DHyflz6D-Wc5Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Town council members on Monday discussed several potential traffic-calming measures for a residential area and voted to delay action until staff can meet with public-safety officials and review cost estimates.

Councilors said they want to consider multiple options — stop signs, rumble strips or crosswalks — as well as temporary road closures for weekend events. An unidentified councilor moved to table agenda items a, b, c and d and to schedule a follow-up meeting with Chief Curtis Stewart and representatives from the university and Langston to examine service needs and cost estimates. The motion was seconded and carried on voice votes recorded as “Aye.”

The council emphasized study and community input. One participant said the options could include “stop sign, we have no stop signs,” and added alternatives such as rumble bars and marked crosswalks to protect children crossing streets. Council members agreed to assemble maps and to hold a workshop so the board can “sit down and literally once we get those two things, we can talk about all the different options.”

Members also discussed logistical measures for event traffic. One member proposed closing a road for a youth baseball/softball event and suggested signage and sawhorses for detours; that motion was seconded and moved forward with voice votes recorded as “Aye.” The council asked staff to coordinate with the fire department and event organizers on schedules so closures do not conflict with home games.

The body directed staff to: (1) reconvene with Chief Curtis Stewart after the election to get service-cost estimates; (2) schedule a special workshop to review maps and traffic-control placements; and (3) look for grant sources to fund physical improvements.

The council did not adopt specific engineering plans or commit funding at the meeting; members made clear that a future meeting will present exact cost estimates and placement maps for public review.","Town council members discussed speed mitigation, stop signs and road closures for local events, voted to table several items and to call a special meeting with public safety staff to refine options and funding.","actionData","errors"]
