The mayor and other trustees described plans to use the barn as an outdoor classroom to support ecological and biology studies on the donated 170-acre property. Justin Westover, identified in the meeting as a program biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, is the USFWS point of contact referenced by staff. The project was described in the meeting as a $16,000 renovation; EDTA’s portion is $8,000, to be reimbursed by USFWS after project completion provided the classroom remains available for at least 10 years.

Meeting discussion and clarifying questions focused on the scope of the work, reimbursement timing and whether the written agreement with USFWS had been shared in the meeting packet. One trustee asked to see the agreement before committing funds; staff agreed to add the agreement to the next EDTA agenda and to make the packet available before that meeting to comply with open meeting procedures.

Funding and timing details discussed in the meeting: staff said EDTA’s Fund 68 holds about $600,000 and the EDTA account about $200,000; trustees were told that construction work should be completed before December 2026 per the draft schedule referenced in discussion. Staff said the renovation will largely preserve the barn’s authenticity while shoring up structural elements, adding electricity and cleaning it for classroom use; the barn currently has an earth floor in the primary area and a concrete floor in the back portion.

Action: No expenditure was approved at the June 16 meeting. Trustees directed staff to include the USFWS agreement in the next agenda packet for review and to bring the item back for formal action.

Why it matters: Converting the barn into an outdoor classroom would support local ecology and engineering studies and formalize a partnership with USFWS. Trustees emphasized the need to review the written agreement and ensure reimbursement terms and any long-term fidelity requirement (the 10-year availability condition) are explicit before authorizing spending.

What’s next: Staff will provide the USFWS written agreement in the next EDTA packet and the item will return to the EDTA for formal consideration and potential approval.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Pryor Creek - Special EDTA Meeting - June 16, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Trustees discussed a proposed renovation of a 100-year-old barn at the Giles Park property and directed staff to add the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service agreement to the next agenda for review before any EDTA expenditure.","taxTitle","Pryor Creek, Mayes County, Oklahoma","taxId",69242,"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},6515843,"EDTA approves $4,750 contract amendment to phase Aquatic Center master plan",136,1041000,1177000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3845836-5359674e9224a3001ae3d9f19fafefed&start=1041&end=1177","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3845836-5359674e9224a3001ae3d9f19fafefed/thumbnail_1041000.jpg","/articles/6515843/Pryor-Creek/Mayes-County/Oklahoma/EDTA-approves-4750-contract-amendment-to-phase-Aquatic-Center-master-plan","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6515843-afd5f9193966416282d71d9c3917496a/orig.mp4?Expires=1776468789&Signature=O22UNfBzTaCefBp-rBUJyx55iaEJBrzrYqTO8O7lXJT74vVq8rdkauEzVKAG-Ua5f8locpU2NtWmVFF8c1J4u17QiHKnD4x6MfamKbcMWffYg46TVVlVVu6-W7648L2XhD4pVpB1cAMEOBHkXuWCFdlyugBah33~D1APs1S1ZZV0dd-0A36uUcvl3cBC8rUFHZcevKIQe6CLFwAQ0zx35Wbm3szqqDdgvXgYyffQVBnshCQ-zlfcOeVdDwBMQdcwfpaCeS6wB1l3sPBuuVe1mlP3e1E9vP5of0v-aPOtgLrX230U39LgqRR2Zv0f6Bo3MqQsQYaQuPQUzgEK7Vs4Pg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Pryor Creek Economic Development Trust Authority voted to approve a $4,750 expenditure to update the Aquatic Center master plan and add phasing options, the authority said at its June 16 meeting.

The pool task force sought an updated master plan to break the project into phases after consultant feedback that an entire build-out requires multiple assumptions about poolhouse, equipment rooms and costs. EDTA staff reported $4,000 had already been allocated to the project; the additional $750 brings the total for the updated planning work to $4,750.

Mike, a member of the pool task force, told trustees the task force used prior paid studies and data to inform the business plan and that the consultant PDG can produce the final business plan within about 30 to 45 days after the update. “Once this is done and we get that through PDG, we’re looking at 30 to 45 days before the final business plan is ready to be presented to the EDTA and then we can take the recommendation on to city council,” Mike said.

Action: A motion to spend $4,750 to update the Aquatic Center master plan passed on an oral roll-call vote with Anderson, Swordall, Moore and Miller recorded as voting yes.

Why it matters: Trustees emphasized ensuring the community understands the full cost of building an aquatic center and the need to phase work to make the project financially manageable. The updated plan will be used to inform EDTA recommendations to Pryor Creek City Council.

What’s next: PDG will complete the updated master plan and deliver a business plan for EDTA review; staff indicated the plan will subsequently be considered by city council.","Trustees approved a $4,750 expenditure to update the Aquatic Center master plan with phasing; the additional $750 is incremental to previously allocated funds and PDG will deliver a final business plan in 30\t60 days for EDTA and city council review.",{"_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},6515847,"EDTA approves one-year renewal of Main Street MOU to support downtown revitalization",572,363000,935000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3845836-5359674e9224a3001ae3d9f19fafefed&start=363&end=935","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3845836-5359674e9224a3001ae3d9f19fafefed/thumbnail_363000.jpg","/articles/6515847/Pryor-Creek/Mayes-County/Oklahoma/EDTA-approves-one-year-renewal-of-Main-Street-MOU-to-support-downtown-revitalization","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6515847-bfa29a50db94bf15b28b410f1502aa62/orig.mp4?Expires=1776468789&Signature=F4b4P0JNJqmx2EKhqtVPthA-aLXfVHiUsOOzHxoeJ9D~srBIHnrdUpG2hVbSUZDiotWAUiDiFLdQwB0x2ETpU4w3BQk-zO-IUn4hABbs9Gtx7-ZES~65bL6PLZF8futx8kx6bA8EE1Ct2uf-v4jo-7ER2YPxVEYdOpBkyRpEeWZib1iciT4Pw7FlrWX6rDNHhhX5ATlQJwxJq8l64yVVedvRGYiJz1zuVox82cOjPmTblJGvPUumBRWmgvrl68NIQdNnmUjaNuTvjAO8rYEkv2PJleNpq4fPQDcOtXjYEqizcBzqqCspvtIrqyGkLqZgHxJmBYbW8omFuvx17qn~Gg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Pryor Creek Economic Development Trust Authority on June 16 approved a one-year renewal of a memorandum of understanding with Main Street to continue downtown revitalization activities including a mobile “time frame” walkability app, facade support and coordination of streetscape Phase 1 management.

The MOU covers the period from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, and is structured to provide $60,000 of support (described in the meeting as $5,000 per mile for 20 stops) under existing fund allocations in EDTA accounts. The authority’s chair said the funding is available in EDTA’s budget and would allow Main Street to continue program and facade activities without submitting invoices to the city for each payment.

Bridget, a Main Street representative, described how the updated MOU creates clearer deliverables and reporting. “Instead of a monthly report, there will be a written quarterly report that which it provides along with the the monthly updates,” she said. She demonstrated a placard and sidewalk “spot” that will include a QR code linking to the Main Street website and the time frame information, and said the app includes photos and an audio voiceover narrative. “It’s for marketing purposes. It’s for promotion. It’s for helping with the walkability and the identification of the app,” Bridget said.

Trustees said they wanted measurable return on investment. One trustee said, “People wanna Agree. They wanna see something with their eyes,” and stressed that visible, on-street changes make it easier to show progress.

The MOU also assigns Main Street a management role for streetscape Phase 1 coordination between the city and the Missouri Department of Transportation (referred to in the discussion as ODOT due to regulatory timelines). Bridget said permits and right-of-way approvals affect the schedule: the MOU notes a six-month window from 100% plan approval to potential groundbreaking under state transportation timelines.

Action: A motion to approve the one-year MOU renewal passed with an oral vote in which Moore, Miller, Anderson, Swordall and Derek voted yes. The motion and second were taken from the meeting record; the minutes record the motion and a second and the unanimous vote as captured in the meeting audio.

Why it matters: The renewed agreement formalizes EDTA funding and oversight for downtown promotion, facade support and streetscape coordination at a time the authority is preparing to move into Phase 1 of construction coordination. The quarterly reporting changes were adopted to provide trustees with more substantive documentation of Main Street deliverables.

What’s next: Main Street will proceed under the renewed MOU and produce the agreed quarterly reports and deliverables. Trustees may review subsequent progress reports at future meetings.","The Pryor Creek Economic Development Trust Authority approved a one-year renewal of a memorandum of understanding with Main Street to continue an app-based downtown walkability program, fund facade work and coordinate streetscape Phase 1 management, with $60,000 budgeted under existing EDTA funds.",{"_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},6515833,"Trustees defer action on Grama Community Building structural report pending Main Street-provided assessment",80,943000,1023000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3845836-5359674e9224a3001ae3d9f19fafefed&start=943&end=1023","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3845836-5359674e9224a3001ae3d9f19fafefed/thumbnail_943000.jpg","/articles/6515833/Pryor-Creek/Mayes-County/Oklahoma/Trustees-defer-action-on-Grama-Community-Building-structural-report-pending-Main-Street-provided-assessment","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6515833-185e39fa416d999bdfd6b9f0b96fca6e/orig.mp4?Expires=1776468789&Signature=IOXy7eJXDTMXyIDnUnZKT4w6QRWeGwTlJhTgBL1r7rEP1pmxxWr2BcFPFcXtw6eKM9kMFCtTQhDnHkOdgZJLcXMBqqaPxk5i8~WvRW6qDv1x3YAe3yzC4JR1YBnTUs1zvaZP-5hDbtQMGHeEjq1jEEkrJ4EIyu~8qcL6M4sKkKTZV1Sdu8-iu9vTvJTLV3Kv75lWjmVctzR7MhqQHk-qZpHXA5Gq0ZJ-6rbPASE~~j3RgoWMS2OuUJQALOktHuKkg0d2m~~DI9pankIKhh0NNG4LQH7t2zB4UDN1TwCJsDrVDFakdf~AIE6OMwRJZ9uXjUOS4X2N7M1fMwLH~7V3QA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Pryor Creek EDTA briefly discussed a structural report for the Grama Community Building and agreed to wait for a report to be provided through Main Street rather than immediately hire a private engineering firm.

Staff told trustees that after the May meeting Main Street confirmed Pryor Creek is first in line to receive a structural report through the Main Street program, with the line forming July 1. Staff also said private firms quoted about $7,500 per hour and were booking into September, making the Main Street-provided report the quicker, no-cost option.

Action: Trustees agreed to wait for the Main Street-provided structural report and took no formal vote to hire outside consultants at the June 16 meeting.

Why it matters: A structural report is a prerequisite to major renovation or reuse of the Grama Community Building. Using the Main Street program for the assessment would avoid higher private consulting costs and long wait times; trustees accepted the recommendation to wait for the Main Street assessment.

What’s next: Staff will receive the Main Street structural report when it becomes available and will return the item for discussion and any formal action if additional work or contracting is required.","The EDTA decided to wait for a structural report to be provided through Main Street for the Grama Community Building rather than contract a private firm; staff said Main Street has Pryor Creek first in line for a report beginning July 1 and private firms were booking into September.","actionData","errors"]
