Prince said the contractor milled the existing asphalt and discovered that sections of roadway subgrade were not properly built. As crews undercut the roadway to rebuild the base, the city found service lines that had to be moved; he said Justin’s crew has already relocated about six service lines in the 400 block. Prince added that weather has created access and scheduling challenges but said the project is progressing and will improve connectivity to nearby schools.

Council members did not vote on project changes during the meeting. Prince said the project was approved previously and the city has budgeted $1.2 million for the work; he did not present a change order or additional funding request at the July 1 meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","VUA and CC July 1 2025","oneSentenceSummary","City administrator Brian Prince briefed the council on the $1.2 million North Miller Street project, reporting weather delays, milling operations and discovery of improperly built subgrade that has required undercutting and relocation of roughly six service lines so far.","taxTitle","Vinita, Craig County, Oklahoma","taxId",70728,"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},6180433,"Council approves $13,700 purchase of two 20-inch PPV fans and DeWalt batteries from Casco Industries",84,761000,845000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5119309-7b02f4ddbf18e9470f62cd9b653bbb4c&start=761&end=845","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5119309-7b02f4ddbf18e9470f62cd9b653bbb4c/thumbnail_761000.jpg","/articles/6180433/Vinita/Craig-County/Oklahoma/Council-approves-13700-purchase-of-two-20-inch-PPV-fans-and-DeWalt-batteries-from-Casco-Industries","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6180433-b156be74bac288add08f0da8ec4058cf/orig.mp4?Expires=1776571239&Signature=YPitUs7-Z0G9GJYNpL1OJmnoJ9peyrH0YoVK1rfsUCsxxPzNkr-2vgzvaeZsDnfVHYTepPzr3KsSk8aEKcvisjye7Gz8G51K4Haia7qvmI6z~rzDOJnYyWjpfQ311HzXzJykGLXrf42Um61PX5tGsNu7C0LxHzoizi8yhRos3qGyDiOCTOY-qz~2iwoYBWVZXkFcXd94OABB9BinKy3DU~TDrlHdNd4WrLonkW0Jw4Cu9DCa4uO~oBttkheG0V-87SqcF0yJ5jhlu4xERTWrU-XYZ-s7Cv4KBqVC7PPiEkgG24e1q0RqwN0Deo58wd7YzSfrVcqr3tEnlEayRL37uQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Bonita City Council on July 1 approved an invoice for $13,700 from Casco Industries to purchase two 20-inch positive-pressure-ventilation (PPV) fans and DEWALT batteries for the fire department.

Fire Chief Huxtable told the council the fans replace older equipment — one of the existing fans runs on gas — and will improve ventilation at fire scenes while reducing fumes, noise and manpower needed to deploy the equipment. The new fans run on DEWALT batteries; the department’s scene lighting and extrication tools also use DEWALT batteries, Chief Huxtable said, which simplifies logistics and battery compatibility.

Staff said the purchase will be paid from the fire department’s prior-year budget savings after internal budget adjustments; chief’s remarks indicated the expenditures were covered by prior-year allocations if the council approved the invoice. The council approved the purchase by voice vote without opposition.","The Bonita City Council approved invoice 661716 from Casco Industries for $13,700 to buy two 20-inch positive-pressure-ventilation fans and DEWALT batteries; the chief said the purchase is funded from last year’s budget reallocations.",{"_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},6180438,"Bonita Council appoints Michelle Allard to fill VITA trustee seat through Feb. 7, 2026",42,685000,727000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5119309-7b02f4ddbf18e9470f62cd9b653bbb4c&start=685&end=727","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5119309-7b02f4ddbf18e9470f62cd9b653bbb4c/thumbnail_685000.jpg","/articles/6180438/Vinita/Craig-County/Oklahoma/Bonita-Council-appoints-Michelle-Allard-to-fill-VITA-trustee-seat-through-Feb-7-2026","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6180438-8fe98bb83d7b23415a63160e926b9003/orig.mp4?Expires=1776571239&Signature=Sk9MzoDIqW4upFFAUnkKX3zWQNFAoEDn-8V1lv6s0eFWWFovcqVrYr3drkIIhqj2SXHwnWo-mBTq0UxPA0KaB87kmprVaWPw0v3S9dmeB63U0KJPW0tS2aynmieBr6HstED7mIf54uztS8tVU2OAMohu17nSs2GGJRfdh6wfNn-~DbjnOiay0~3u~dGq3~RYxWZ-QcR8yfcnzUqiHem9Bn72wahKG2fhbvfCGDdjfDwz96VLeeEw541S-Iw61zTu-CX4zWqt7DQlN56f1quyvxcU1iW7wCHpd6vZ9Er1sAd9VE-6nXfCtL4ikIrqwxuOo9-xbHvdTESW8tGOdSvdBg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Bonita City Council on July 1 unanimously approved the appointment of Michelle Allard as a trustee to the VITA board to complete the term vacated by Stephanie Hoskin through Feb. 7, 2026.

City administrator Brian Prince told both bodies that closing the books after June 30 required multiple transfers to move line items into their proper positions so bills could be paid. At the utilities-authority meeting Prince reported four to five transfers for the authority; at the city council meeting he said 15 transfers were needed for various departments, citing mechanical breakdowns and unplanned equipment purchases during the year.

Members approved the transfers by voice vote at each meeting. City and authority members praised department heads for staying largely within budget despite unplanned expenses and weather-related costs. Council members were not presented with a line-by-line ordinance on the council floor during the meeting; staff indicated the transfers were routine year-end bookkeeping to reconcile department budgets and prepare the bills payable item.

No member asked for the transfers to be removed for separate consideration, and there was no public comment on the matter.","Both the Veneta Utilities Authority and Bonita City Council approved transfers of designated funds to close fiscal year 2024–25 accounts; VUA approved four or five transfers while the city approved 15 transfers to align budgets and pay bills payable.",{"_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},6180447,"Bonita, VUA and VITA approve renewed CivicPlus website contract, city to pay $2,872.43 share",77,107000,184000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5119309-7b02f4ddbf18e9470f62cd9b653bbb4c&start=107&end=184","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5119309-7b02f4ddbf18e9470f62cd9b653bbb4c/thumbnail_107000.jpg","/articles/6180447/Vinita/Craig-County/Oklahoma/Bonita-VUA-and-VITA-approve-renewed-CivicPlus-website-contract-city-to-pay-287243-share","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6180447-6b676b8f0bc56d884a72ed7806a50935/orig.mp4?Expires=1776571239&Signature=LVedTA8ch5opFPWz0Gkx~6X9bTi6kiy1NzjPgj73RnDlal~cSc-EcP-M9gF1HaCPRAx5qpVfuOcu9saOBTnM8uLt9yCL0SreB8KD3oMQPwDDm6LDoyplYEFXANUMMEHpTTfAUOuodZ6JOAkfTZ2VbnyRbqxqdTidLs7mH~LuX0eXBaml6IH724ns-M9MsSVfpU72jnS1Aq~li7UaUIfuzXJXlZjo4J5hiMIMEhj8pS5RDlY-2Y5Uv99RAOaJIhxHJQZiDaFvjAxoOHKtgjyFLKqNupL32~74uHav8kTn0OZUxbITUvb~iIp0VmQYF~R7qGVERzfyvNJ57YDxH68Dsg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Bonita Utilities Authority and the Bonita City Council on July 1 approved a one-year renewal of the municipal website contract with CivicPlus effective July 1, 2025, with the cost split roughly in thirds among the utilities authority, the city’s economic development budget and VITA.

The contract carries an annual fee of $4,617.27 and a one-time implementation fee of $4,000, for a total contract amount of $8,617.27. According to the staff presentation, that produces a per-entity cost of about $2,872.42 (the city stated $2,872.43 when moved for the council vote). City staff said the renewal includes an upgraded platform and modules intended to make the site more user-friendly and easier for staff to update.

At the Veneta Utilities Authority meeting, Mrs. DeFeynold presented the renewal and explained the three-way cost split and that VITA had already approved its portion. A motion to approve the contract at the VUA meeting passed unanimously. At the subsequent Bonita City Council meeting, city staff again described the same terms and the council voted to approve the city’s one-third share; that motion also passed without opposition.

The contract will be administered by municipal staff, and the one-time implementation fee will be paid as part of the total contract cost approved by the boards. No speaker identified any alternative vendor or additional funding sources during the discussions, and no public comments were offered on the item.

Officials did not attach an ordinance or resolution number to the contract at the meetings and did not specify a multiyear commitment beyond the annual renewal described by staff.","The Veneta Utilities Authority, Bonita Utilities Authority and Bonita City Council approved a renewed CivicPlus website contract effective July 1, 2025, with a total cost of $8,617.27 and a per-entity share of roughly $2,872.42–$2,872.43; the agreement includes a $4,000 one-time implementation fee.","actionData","errors"]
