On the consent agenda the council approved routine items (consent items A through K) without discussion. The council then approved an amended lease with the Country Club for the Santa Fe Lake property. Staff said the renewal is a 25-year lease and that terms changed because a planned Highway 105 water-line relocation would otherwise have required routing the city water line under several golf greens; the revised engineering approach moved the line to the north side of Highway 105 and staff negotiated lease changes including indexing rent to the annual dam inspection cost required by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board and requiring the country club to install a meter for lake water use so the city can limit use during drought conditions.

Council accepted an amendment to a state/local cybersecurity grant the city received in 2024. The original award totaled about $300,000: $167,518 budgeted for an IT director and $242,797.69 for hardware and software. Staff said they were unable to hire an IT director from the applicant pool and requested the cybersecurity board's permission to reallocate the grant to pay for consultant-managed IT services instead; the board unanimously approved the amendment and council accepted it.

Following that acceptance, the council awarded a one-year contract for managed IT services to Standards IT LLC, effective May 1, 2025 through May 1, 2026. Staff described Standards IT's proposal as a fixed-fee model providing 400 hours annually of combined on-site and remote support at a total cost of $68,000 per year; the contract includes 24/7 coverage intended for critical services used by police, fire and dispatch. City staff recommended approval subject to final form review by the city attorney; the council approved the contract unanimously.

The council approved an interlocal agreement with Logan County Emergency Management. Staff described the agreement as a three-year partnership under which the city would transfer ownership of one Tahoe (described in meeting materials as a 2016 Tahoe) and a donated Typhoon drone to the county for a nominal fee (staff said $2). Staff said Logan County had proposed a cost-share of $27,300 in an earlier draft for acquisition of a drone and a vehicle; the agreed approach was a three-year arrangement with transfer of the listed equipment to county emergency management to strengthen joint emergency response capacity. Chief Lawson and Emergency Manager Hager spoke in favor of the arrangement.

On aviation matters, the council unanimously awarded RFQ 2024-14 (airport engineering consultant services) to Park Hill. The selection committee recommended Park Hill over Lochner based on experience with Guthrie projects, in-house architectural capacity and a project manager with a local stake in the airport. The council also approved a master on-call agreement with Park Hill; staff emphasized that each major project (for example terminal design and construction) will require separate authorization and that the master agreement does not obligate the city to use Park Hill for every project.

Other procedural actions included approval of the public-works-authority consent agenda. Where specific votes were not recorded by name in the transcript, the council announced unanimous approval for each of the above items.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","4/22/25 CITY COUNCIL / GPWA MEETING","oneSentenceSummary","Guthrie City Council on April 22 approved a series of operational and procurement items: a revised Santa Fe Lake lease, an amended cybersecurity grant and a managed-IT services contract, an interlocal emergency agreement transferring equipment to Logan County, and airport consultant awards.","taxTitle","City Council Meetings, Guthrie, Logan County, Oklahoma","taxId",69237,"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},6262482,"Council replaces animal-control language, tightens impound and notice procedures",544,2154000,2698000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3115224-d160bdbb24825f74af686fe7a761cf54&start=2154&end=2698","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3115224-d160bdbb24825f74af686fe7a761cf54/thumbnail_2154000.jpg","/articles/6262482/Oklahoma/Council-replaces-animal-control-language-tightens-impound-and-notice-procedures","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6262482-746d20b9cc809021ba6baea63a24aef8/orig.mp4?Expires=1771192538&Signature=SS80g2ZWawWzpRTMBmHH0Fx1vYagbM~5d1Iq2sA37b3Vh3Q08BLTodmjGCVB28wOHBZa4P19auQj8RW8bUzTqiCBp5B8UEpWG8~Fl2nN9FjJMm1t0s36BkDjtKUcfIG7Z0hvMgxxy48kjXXD5FFbna0X-BdtG4ixuS37dKCcOqZwUflAQ1tOqu0~cnvXfGYM6uGpSe8RYFcwhv8O-Xu9WOpsxnyeQYrDWTD5VDlN5prauEM08nZCXXwfCbAyvrzXlH-lT6lDWfyRO-UvzFBD5Ks4GFRdULmRJh63KvHASFvTFpKvhUTVMVJQUZ-UczX~DfIFJz7v3t0jOEbktV7foQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Guthrie City Council unanimously approved Ordinance 34-22 on April 22, a comprehensive update to Chapter 3 of the city code addressing animals, impoundment and dangerous-animal procedures.

City staff introduced the ordinance as a multi-year effort to replace an outdated two-paragraph rule that gave the city limited enforcement options. The new language repeals the existing article on exotic animals, provides clearer definitions, and includes escalating penalties for repeated dogs-running-at-large violations.

City Attorney Billy Wheeler described multiple clarifications made before the vote: clarification that a finding of a 'vicious' or 'dangerous' animal is ultimately made by the municipal judge after a hearing; standardizing impoundment notice to personal service or certified mail with return receipt; and aligning concrete footing depth language to mirror state statute. Council members asked how notice would be provided and what methods the city would use to ensure owners receive timely notification; Wheeler said staff will use multiple methods (personal service, certified mail, posting) to make a good-faith effort to notify owners before additional action.

The ordinance references a $50,000 surety bond in cases where the municipal judge determines an animal to be dangerous; council members and staff noted they were not aware of common sources for such bonds but said the bond requirement mirrors state law. Council voted unanimously to adopt the updated ordinance as corrected by the city attorney.","Ordinance 34-22 revises Chapter 3 on animals, repeals prior exotic-animal article, increases penalties for repeated dog-at-large violations and standardizes notice for impoundment; council approved updated version unanimously.",{"_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},6262487,"Guthrie council adopts comprehensive zoning code updates, narrows political-sign rules to filing period",930,2728000,3658000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3115224-d160bdbb24825f74af686fe7a761cf54&start=2728&end=3658","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3115224-d160bdbb24825f74af686fe7a761cf54/thumbnail_2728000.jpg","/articles/6262487/Oklahoma/Guthrie-council-adopts-comprehensive-zoning-code-updates-narrows-political-sign-rules-to-filing-period","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6262487-319d15deccfec0f54981797b010d89b4/orig.mp4?Expires=1771142906&Signature=l8Yfkdu5CF46i85DnN~~L2dEAEwR575rIN3Nir4VvJnx3bnZRPlllceMs6eYodAM41pbkl3Ve09VhJ3qjH-w4gaS~lgPIMBxWLh0UJH22bZicT5dTEHAWbplWx80H1KQjlM8Mv1XqLU9cPTTFcDZC5p5Qim2iMEtxXESZfr2t9ulG~IuINNAcscZg7JduhOXch05-EXvu-BxLs-jMsV5YanV9jPYCsUpdGIt7gtly4c~weCWnXUNNIGvKCR~th30~zIxji37PWo2MqfCcWR-5bJPw2godp3svx2kWOknRy1VJSQhlYjEQ19k-iJp-tAgEtdv82KCREuFsdaGKXxTmA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Guthrie City Council unanimously approved Ordinance 33-42 on April 22, adopting an updated city zoning code and adding clarifying language about appeals and political signage.

City planning staffer Dan presented the overhaul as a full rewrite intended to modernize the city's standards and provide clearer appeal procedures. Residents and local builders who spoke during the public comment period supported the update, saying the revised code will ease development and encourage a wider variety of housing types.

Council members discussed the code's restrictions on political signs at length. The draft limited placement to no more than 60 days before an election; Councilman Bothroyd and others argued that 60 days was unrealistic for statewide campaigns. After debate about First Amendment risks and enforceability, the council amended the ordinance to allow political signs beginning on the candidate filing date and ending five days after the election. City Attorney Billy Wheeler cautioned the body that enforcement of political-sign regulations can trigger strict constitutional scrutiny and should be handled consistently.

Dan said the new zoning code contains standard administrative avenues for appeals and other procedural safeguards. Three citizens who identified themselves as a realtor, a local builder and a property owner told the council they had reviewed the draft and urged adoption to move Guthrie toward more predictable permitting and development timelines.

The council voted unanimously to adopt Ordinance 33-42 as amended. The planning staff will return final ordinance language for codification and administrative steps described in the adopted document.","Council unanimously adopted Ordinance 33-42 to replace the city's zoning code.
