City Council approves $650K street reconstruction on Richland Road with county collaboration

The Bond Advisory Committee meeting held on July 7, 2025, in Oklahoma City commenced with the call to order by the chair. The first agenda item, the approval of the minutes from the previous meeting, was deferred to the next gathering due to the absence of the physical documents.

The committee then moved on to item three, which involved a recommendation to the city council for the approval of an unlisted project, designated as PJCA-0063, concerning street reconstruction along Richland Road from Bridal to Wilshire. Ryan Concha from the Bond Group presented the project, which has a budget of $650,000. This project is a collaborative effort with Canadian County, where the city will provide materials while the county will supply labor.

During the discussion, a clarification was made regarding the project number, which was updated from PC-0990 to PJCA-0063 to reflect the joint nature of the project. Committee members expressed support for the initiative, noting the benefits of partnering with the county for labor resources.

Following the discussion, a motion was made and seconded electronically to approve the project. The motion passed unanimously.

The meeting then transitioned to item four, where informational updates were provided. It was reported that approximately 90% of the 2022 sales were completed, with 52% of the 2023 sales achieved to date. The committee noted a positive trend in spending towards the required 85% target for the 2023 sales by 2026.

A question arose regarding the presence of funding from 2002 in the reports, which was clarified as old interest funds that had been revisited and allocated to current projects.

No new business was introduced, and there were no items raised by committee members or citizens. The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn, marking the end of the session.
