Key actions recorded in the meeting minutes included:

- Annexation and zoning for a commercial parcel: The council approved Ordinance No. 979 to annex property at the southwest corner of 15th Street and Highway 69 into city limits and to assign a C-3 (regional commercial) zoning classification to enable a truck stop and associated uses. The planning commission and staff had recommended approval; the motion included requirements for intersection upgrades and pavement improvements.

- Rezoning of a tornado-damaged building for restaurant use: The council approved Ordinance No. 980 to change zoning on a parcel containing the former Swan’s building on SW 15th Street from light industrial to regional commercial to allow a restaurant and grill redevelopment. Planning and staff recommended approval.

- Fireworks permitting and discharge restrictions: The council approved Ordinance No. 981, which restricts sale, storage, possession and discharge of fireworks within city limits and establishes an administrative process for permits and stand locations. Council amended municipal staff assignment language on the floor, replacing city-superintendent responsibility with developmental services/code enforcement for stand location determinations.

- Surplus property and donations: The council declared multiple items surplus and authorized disposal or donation. Surplus items included two used police Durango SUVs (to be sold on a public auction site), older police body cameras (offered to a smaller agency), animal-shelter furniture and equipment (to be discarded), and state championship signs (declared surplus and approved for donation to Wagoner Public Schools).

- Stormwater and infrastructure actions: The council authorized bidding for the Phase 3 stormwater detention improvements (detention ponds across the railroad tracks) and approved Pay Application No. 3 for street rehabilitation (WAG24-92024) in the amount recorded in the minutes. Councilmembers discussed quality concerns on recent paving work and directed staff to follow up with the contractor.

- Personnel and probation completions: The council removed probation status for several municipal employees, including two police department staff (patrol and animal-control positions) and water/wastewater employees, with no immediate rate change recorded in the minutes.

Each action was put to roll call and recorded in the clerk’s minutes; the meeting minutes show each ordinance and administrative action passed on the council floor.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Regular Business Meeting (City of Wagoner/WPWA/TCWEDA) May 5, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The City of Wagoner City Council on May 5 approved a series of ordinances and administrative measures covering land use, public-safety rules, utilities projects and departmental personnel actions.","taxTitle","Wagoner, Wagoner County, Oklahoma","taxId",70704,"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},6568506,"Wagoner council approves waterpark season, fees and staffing plan",751,1034000,1785000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3194442-7821227daf3bc1a9bed0fc38774c88e9&start=1034&end=1785","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3194442-7821227daf3bc1a9bed0fc38774c88e9/thumbnail_1034000.jpg","/articles/6568506/Wagoner/Wagoner-County/Oklahoma/Wagoner-council-approves-waterpark-season-fees-and-staffing-plan","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6568506-5bb277960d5230c07bd7c14d64634834/orig.mp4?Expires=1770440275&Signature=G5Vx7xbEbtbdkW0MqrBfyqBOGHn2yeqnLafq0eldWHtbTU2jC3qOUskzky2TYkwH-OHlxD8Dia9ep2DoUMSZ6bZ5Ic7qxdpg6AA5t4gfqWlyc-HW~iW~0z0zeY2vt3vl6~qIMlcN0jFcNOI3ujqXpo7kG3v6DHp65uD64o-YG~t2DrIX2HN6IXcn80vtcy091HKmZdEVmFt6pn-g9wxfwYiZoPUPoLfKjzqbodoFGBuBn9NahIKp6aI6qqXBiPbR0I00-~M2CK4JV27Nok6smfxrukFIHuVV6Z6r3HDhfcGoLNjMnuY7sIUHuWyRh0J~FLiHZLSnxGdUqCmRbbUA-A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Wagoner City Council on May 5 approved the 2025 Wagoner Waterpark season schedule, admission and rental fees, and staffing parameters after hearing from park staff and seasonal managers.

Council voted to open the waterpark beginning the Memorial Day weekend and to close in late July (the motion referenced May 24 through a closing date in the council motion). The council adopted a set of admission and pass prices, private-party rental fees and staff pay as moved on the floor and recorded in the council motion.

The council discussion centered on staffing, age policies for free admission, and lifeguard pay. Parks staff introduced returning manager Brandon Standish and assistant manager Holly Hodges. Council members asked for details on lifeguard pay, minimum age, and whether very young children should be charged admission.

Council approved a motion that sets free admission for children up to age 5 (motion text recorded in the minutes as “5 and under be 0”) and charges a single-visit general admission for older children, per the motion. The council later moved and approved a package of specifics that were entered into the record as part of the motion: season-pass pricing, private-party rental rates, and staffing pay. The motion as recorded by the clerk listed: season pass — individual $60; family season pass (family of four) $170; private parties — two hours $350 with each additional hour $175; lifeguard pay $10 per hour; cashier pay $9 per hour; and a free senior swim scheduled Monday, Tuesday and Friday from 10 a.m. to noon.

Council and staff also clarified operational details: lifeguards must be 15 years old with a worker’s permit; the park remains closed Wednesdays; managers plan to provide lifeguard scenario training and EMS CPR certification before opening. Council members requested enforcement language that children under a specified age must be accompanied by an adult (the council referenced 12 and older being able to be unaccompanied in prior practice).

The motion adopting the season dates, admission policy (including 5-and-under free), pass and rental fees, and pay rates passed on a roll call following council discussion.

Councilmembers expressed support for modest raises for returning lifeguards and emphasized the managers’ plans for safety and training leading into the season.","City council set the Wagoner Waterpark season to begin Memorial Day weekend, approved season passes and rental fees, raised lifeguard pay, and adopted a senior free-swim schedule after discussion about staffing and child-age admissions.","actionData","errors"]
