“Today, I'm asking for you to stop the cruel, outdated, and inhumane practice of the heart sticking killing our animals at the shelter,” Clark said, giving her name and address as 1760 East Cherokee Avenue. Clark called for the city to “make a goal of a no kill shelter for adoptable animals, paying at least a 90% live release rate, establish standard operating procedure and funding for necessary back care.”

Clark told the commission, “A heart stick is when it goes directly to their heart. No sedation. No nothing,” and urged the city to use only “humane euthanasia established by the American Veterinary Medical Association.” The speaker left letters with the commission and did not request a formal agenda item; city staff did not announce a follow‑up action on the record.

Earlier in the meeting, the commission’s awards segment included a short presentation from the animal welfare department showcasing a dog named Sir Frederick, described by staff as a 7‑ to 9‑year‑old cattle dog mix who is house trained and had been returned to the shelter through no fault of his own. The staff presenter encouraged adoption and said Sir Frederick was located in kennel 28.

No vote or formal action on shelter euthanasia policies was taken during the meeting. The public comment and the adoption presentation were the only items on the record addressing animal welfare at this session.","An animal welfare advocate asked the Enid City Commission to end use of 'heart stick' euthanasia and adopt no‑kill goals; the meeting also included a presentation of an older dog available for adoption.",{"_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},6180905,"Enid approves sole-source purchases for water system, hires new utilities director",121,839000,960000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5116007-59e30655cf87160816e1891ad2cfb2a7&start=839&end=960","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5116007-59e30655cf87160816e1891ad2cfb2a7/thumbnail_839000.jpg","/articles/6180905/Oklahoma/Enid-approves-sole-source-purchases-for-water-system-hires-new-utilities-director","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6180905-23dedf78ae6f7b22dce1ec013af71de5/orig.mp4?Expires=1770437879&Signature=LwHvveW5NJMz3TujMiNwgr9odUnzrFo5dpIDnYTk8XEq6Be0yJhRcIh-TPr7-vzxSHyVYJ7rnSJLblZ22oJDqyTaB6cx9OeiKnR2Rv2fMWvxfRIjHgp5N9V4ZHGqp8gLikoh5rRA8N2hV44sbd5~5UGDIyorxFVoTtTxjr1ju1yzz-c9TTdDj9EP9xh~xLSGqlQOccqgcE9q-J9RCmY2YWl3sG9vfVQsBk6CWqlXgajYGi8meiqocc8-FedPRrwATtJG5PN3bppgnGfgSG2c-KdIzpSS2g9XeMXb1dUiGkw4dIm8mn8s9oi~GU3B~rwjjoHJhiXC8Gpc8GWVJj5aVQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Enid City Commission on June 17 approved three procurement items for the city’s public utilities operations and heard the introduction of a new utilities director.

Commissioners voted unanimously to waive sections of the finance procedures manual and approve a $200,000 blanket purchase order to Brintag Southwest Inc. for one-ton containers of chlorine gas for the water treatment process for the period 07/01/2025 through 06/30/2026. The next agenda item authorized a sole-source purchase of components and upgrades for the city’s AMI (advanced metering infrastructure) water meter system from Core & Main, LP, of St. Louis, Missouri, in an amount not to exceed $600,000 through 06/30/2026. A separate approval authorized buying a combination sewer cleaner truck from Frontier Equipment Sales of Yukon, Oklahoma, for $636,557.28 under Oklahoma State purchasing contract number SW195; officials said the replacement will supplant a 2005 model that was repair‑intensive.

The purchases were presented as budgeted items for the Enid Municipal Authority. A staff presenter described the chlorine purchase as the city’s standard annual contract for water treatment and said the AMI order will be executed in several installments over the year. On the sewer cleaner, staff said the chassis is available and the truck will take about three to four months to build.

The commission also welcomed Brooke Brandenburg as the city’s new director of public utilities. A presenter said Brandenburg is joining Enid from Goddard, Kansas, has municipal experience, holds a master’s degree in public administration and is a Wichita State alumnus. Brandenburg addressed the commission and said she was “very excited to be here in Enid.”

During discussion, a commissioner asked about the retail cost of a typical residential water meter; staff said a 5/8‑inch meter costs about $335, and the city charges $795 for a meter when installed as part of a new home connection to cover materials and labor. Staff emphasized the AMI order is a blanket purchase so meters can be acquired in batches over the fiscal year.

All three procurement motions passed 7‑0. No amendments were recorded. Officials noted the sewer truck purchase uses an existing state purchasing contract to streamline acquisition.

The actions put equipment and supplies expected to be used through the next fiscal year under contract and install a successor for aging sewer‑maintenance equipment; the AMI components are intended to continue the city’s metering program.","The Enid City Commission approved sole-source and blanket purchase orders for chlorine, AMI water meter components and a sewer-cleaning truck, and trustees introduced Brooke Brandenburg as the new director of public utilities.","actionData","errors"]
