The MSA oversees water, sewer and sanitation operations; the authority’s trust manager told trustees that ongoing operating needs and aging fleet equipment will require additional resources in coming years.

Trust manager J.D. Hawk told trustees the MSA’s revenues come from utility rates paid by residential and commercial customers and that the authority historically has transferred excess operating revenues to the city general fund. He said the MSA must rebuild operating capacity and noted two operating debts (a 2011 water plant debt and a 2017 wastewater plant debt) that are being repaid in part through a special sales tax and that rate discussions will follow.

Trust staff confirmed that two sanitation trucks are on order with an anticipated delivery in the fourth quarter of the year (staff cited October as the target month) and that the systems have workforce and fleet shortages requiring further investment. The MSA also said the department’s change to a four-day trash pickup schedule has been functioning well and has helped driver morale, but managers said additional vehicles and staff are needed to make service levels sustainable.

Trustees voted to adopt the resolution for the MSA budget by roll call. Trustees Finch, Brown and Tatum voted aye; Chairperson Eason cast the chair’s vote in favor.","The Del City Municipal Services Authority adopted its FY2025–26 budget on June 12.

The session produced several staff requests and volunteer commitments but did not result in formal ordinance changes at that meeting.

Mayor Eason said the council's priority is neighborhood safety and that the most effective deterrent may be increasing fines: \"The only thing I can do to these people that are habitually running stop signs and speeding in neighborhoods is get into their pocketbook,\" he said during the discussion. Council members and residents raised alternatives including increased enforcement presence, community service sentencing, and public education.

Chief Lloyd Berber (Del City Police Department) said the department will prepare comparative data showing how Del City’s fines compare to other metro jurisdictions and provide counts of citations by type and location. He noted the city’s current fines are low compared with other nearby agencies and said a report will be prepared for council review.

Residents suggested ideas ranging from income-based fines (citing examples from some European countries) to targeted time-of-day increases in school zones. Joshua Schultz, a resident, referenced House Bill 2259 (2023) as a statute that allows municipal courts to consider financial hardship in municipal-ticket cases; council members discussed that hardship relief can limit deterrence unless alternatives are adopted on the court or legislative side.

Council members and staff also discussed non-legislative steps: Bronte (a resident) volunteered to lead a traffic safety committee that would include neighborhood-watch members and officers to recommend signage, awareness campaigns and site-specific enforcement. The city also reported a forthcoming Oklahoma Highway Safety grant to fund overtime traffic enforcement; staff said the grant acceptance will be placed on a future council agenda and, if implemented, would provide officers for focused traffic enforcement starting in the fall.

No changes to fines or ordinance language were adopted at the meeting. Council members requested a study session and asked staff to return with citation counts, comparative fine charts, and options for minimum fines, time-of-day multipliers (for school hours), and alternative sentencing such as community service.","Council, police and residents discussed raising minimum fines, alternative sentencing, data-driven enforcement and a traffic safety committee to reduce dangerous driving in Del City neighborhoods; no ordinance changes were adopted at the meeting.",{"_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},6525065,"Del City council adopts FY2025–26 general fund budget; officials say transfers will be temporary",546,553000,1099000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3796198-032fa82c56f55a8f483910d2c62a8735&start=553&end=1099","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3796198-032fa82c56f55a8f483910d2c62a8735/thumbnail_553000.jpg","/articles/6525065/Del-City/Oklahoma-County/Oklahoma/Del-City-council-adopts-FY202526-general-fund-budget-officials-say-transfers-will-be-temporary","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6525065-842e352b20e5f8d7945eeff5a4abce04/orig.mp4?Expires=1771144536&Signature=ML1fQ-cy4I9TtqyxYxxEwjdeh2-2Wjjv27zrRUkhK7N7mALI7SxPZitINPB2C2XCUn1-lqzBbu7CV4-gRgdb1ZO6VfVmThbMGyVpnJBI0ijLfeNLyf0qEyihlnd2rfxET31gxpjEskWva0KQ3UPll~~eaE1ino9po5p7FxZRkLDNVEIVszIz1rnZjkIMeqy0zFifj4llK0Y4dv7Ai9Aa6o3jmFCzCmDdsGBvRFvy9CbClAIE0VboxMmthhC0qVaLdVQTT2jIfhGk06TRbObJ7IM8jlzEFhZThnbLNsvsWTrrI2-ytGhIfRHbnMYcWwLqxMD-QdgW~jWEBVRsAS3zGA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Del City’s City Council on June 12 adopted Resolution No. 06122025a, approving the fiscal year 2025–26 general fund budget and authorizing the mayor to sign the resolution.

City management told the council the approved general fund uses a $1,000,000 transfer from the Municipal Services Authority (MSA) and a $500,000 internal loan from the Neighborhood Enhancement Fund 35 to balance the coming fiscal year. City officials said those transfers are intended as internal borrowing and must be repaid, and that the administration will pursue changes to revenues and expenses to avoid future reliance on other funds.

The city manager explained that revenue projections are based on a three-year averaging method and that operational costs have risen sharply compared with recent years; the manager described a prior \"COVID high\" in federal grant funding that inflated earlier budgets and said those source funds are now largely expended. City leaders emphasized the goal of getting the general fund to sustain itself without drawing on restricted silos of money used for drainage, economic development and other purposes.

After the public hearing portion of the agenda, Councilwoman Finch, Councilman Tatum and Councilman Brown voted aye; Mayor Eason also voted to adopt the resolution. Council members and staff praised the work of finance staff and said there will be opportunities for future public engagement on revenue and expense changes.

The resolution and budget documents were not read line-by-line at the meeting; the council approved the budget after the public hearing closed and a roll-call vote.","The Del City City Council adopted the fiscal year 2025–26 general fund budget on June 12, which relies on a $1 million transfer from the Municipal Services Authority and a $500,000 internal loan from the Neighborhood Enhancement Fund 35; city leaders said they plan steps to avoid future transfers.",{"_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},6525070,"Del City council approves 2024–26 police contract with Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 114",121,390000,511000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3796198-032fa82c56f55a8f483910d2c62a8735&start=390&end=511","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3796198-032fa82c56f55a8f483910d2c62a8735/thumbnail_390000.jpg","/articles/6525070/Del-City/Oklahoma-County/Oklahoma/Del-City-council-approves-202426-police-contract-with-Fraternal-Order-of-Police-Lodge-114","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6525070-4737f01028cbc175d34ae6ccdd221cd1/orig.mp4?Expires=1771144536&Signature=DjmCP4xI0mgQ44e2RM~fGYg35vU~HtUByP6d84Intvlf5l3r8xOybj49vcaKZV2HPUAIwAvBlzcPK2PiY4S2dFhjLjQFCt2PStkKT3Tk7ItPtGX3dAlXZ69AOOO9LonoSIRCgLN9OccKk804Blt6FOyvYyVG5hxr-LwHRe~3fvHo8pGUHIixkurAng799A3Vp2W-VNlih4-RbrZaQPrkFJ6wr~s8gPG6AP0FuvadeSsBZl4B-jsI3DEvZxhwqOsczCVPIxXNMoKqG2sWy2C-Y7IpYR8b04oIGZHrXzayRG~x1Ji8xNbgOu-rxxZ1IMUXdCf-I6l0et6-jW5xK2AiRg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","On June 12, 2025, the Del City City Council voted unanimously to approve an updated collective bargaining agreement with the Fraternal Order of Police, Lodge 114, covering July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2026, and authorized the mayor to endorse the document.
