City staff said the ordinance revises chapter 16 of the city code, adds new definitions and prohibited‑conduct sections, requires signage and clarifies penalties and enforcement. The ordinance passed on second reading by a 5‑0 vote.

Why it matters: The measure changes the codified prohibition framework for smoking and vaping in city‑regulated locations and establishes enforcement and signage requirements for the new rule set.

Vote and next steps
A councilor moved to adopt the ordinance on second read; the motion was seconded and passed 5‑0. Staff will implement the code update and post the ordinance language to the city’s code and website.

The ordinance would authorize an amended and restated long‑term lease of city‑owned property adjacent to the Daily Bread food and resource center to Community Resourcing, Inc. (Daily Bread) to support operation of the center.

Why it matters: The lease formalizes use of a city building for the city’s daily food‑resource operations and was advanced after staff said the charter requires ordinance approval for long leases where the value exceeds $250,000 or when the lease term triggers the process in section 4‑2 of the city charter.

Details and vote
City staff explained the procedural need for ordinance approval under the charter. Councilor moved to advance Ordinance 35‑75 to second reading; the motion passed 5‑0. Staff said the ordinance will return for a second reading and numeric/administrative details will be included in that adoption step if approved.

City staff told councilors the project’s total estimated cost is $1,183,222; the FAA‑eligible grant portion is $1,124,061 and the city’s 5 percent sponsor match would be $59,161. Staff said the numbers were revised after conversations with the FAA to allocate certain administrative fees differently.

Why it matters: The funding would support terminal upgrades at Stillwater Regional Airport. FAA AIP entitlement funds require council authorization for application submission and typically involve a small local match; approval lets staff pursue the federal grant and make corresponding budget adjustments.

Details and vote
Airport staff member Kelly Reid was available for questions. Councilors moved and seconded adoption of the resolution to file the grant application at the revised amount; the vote was 5‑0.

Clarifying details
- Total project estimate presented at the meeting: $1,183,222 (city staff revised allocation after FAA guidance).
- FAA grant request: $1,124,061.

Later in the meeting, the council adopted Resolution CC‑2025‑19 to approve Block 34 park rules and the Block 34 fee schedule, voting 5‑0 after amending the resolution to require that any future fee increases come back to the council for approval.

Why it matters: Block 34 is a new public space in downtown Stillwater with a stage, pavilion and market areas. The adopted rules and fees set how the city will manage event rentals, define public versus reserved areas, and set initial prices for reserved uses such as the sound‑stage lawn, pavilion and a smaller beer‑garden rental.

What the proclamation said
Mayor Joyce read a proclamation that thanked Steve and Becky Irby and the Irby family and Kicker Corporation for their long‑term support of Stillwater and for their role in bringing Block 34 to life. The mayor designated that portion of Duncan Street as Irby Lane to publicly recognize that contribution. Steve and Becky Irby attended the meeting and thanked the city and donors.

Park rules, missing sections and fees adopted
City staff presented Resolution CC‑2025‑19, which adopts Block 34 park rules and market rules and approves a rental fee schedule. Staff noted during the meeting that three sections — Acoustics (stage sound limits), Music Licensing (organizer responsibility for music licenses) and Deposits (rental deposit policy) — were inadvertently missing from Exhibit A and will be added and posted to the city website.

Council discussion focused on access and price points. Staff said the $300 three‑hour fee for the beer garden was intended as an entry‑level reserved option but that Block 34 is designed to be a higher‑amenity venue than a typical neighborhood park; general, unreserved public access remains allowed. Councilors amended the resolution to allow the city manager to make operational changes but specified that any fee increases must return to council for approval. The amended resolution passed 5‑0.

Clarifying details
- Missing Exhibit A sections: Acoustics, Music Licensing, Deposits — staff said they will be added and posted online.
- Fee example: beer‑garden rental listed at $300 for a three‑hour block (staff said unreserved public access remains available when the space is not exclusively rented).
- The resolution authorizes the city manager to make operational revisions for safe and efficient operation but prevents staff from raising fees above the adopted schedule without return to council.

Neighbors and nearby homeowners told the council the project’s revisions — reduced from 42 units to 32 — still leave the development out of step with the area’s lot sizes and traffic patterns. \"We all know this land is gonna be developed. We just want it to be developed responsibly,\" said resident Simon Ring Smith during the public‑comment period.

The new plan lowered gross density to 7.9 units per acre and added internal sidewalks, widened streets to 27 feet in most locations, and increased common parking from nine public spaces to 29, city staff told the council. Staff also noted the developer had agreed to limit the number of units at the western property line and to add open‑space amenities, but said several technical issues — including partial easement releases tied to OG&E — must be resolved before any final plat could be approved.

Why it matters: The council’s decision leaves the property at its current zoning unless the developer returns with a different plan. Opponents said the proposal would produce game‑day rental houses and transient occupancy, worsen on‑street parking, and provide lots and garages too small for typical vehicles. Supporters and the developer argued the plan creates a transition between commercial property on the east and single‑family lots to the west and adds parking and sidewalks that were not in the original concept.

Public comment and developer response
Several residents spoke in opposition during the council’s public‑comment period. Multiple speakers said the proposed home footprints and parking would not suit long‑term residents and would encourage absentee ownership. Resident Simon Ring Smith pointed to garage dimensions and street parking when he warned, \"You can't get around it. You're coming from out of town on game day. You're driving a truck, an SUV... these vehicles cannot fit in the garages.\"

Several nearby homeowners also raised legal and code objections: one speaker cited specific PUD code sections in arguing the developer’s statement of intent failed to demonstrate the special considerations that justify departure from conventional zoning; another said required written statements on projected structure values were missing or inconsistent with the city’s averages.

Developer representatives said changes since the June hearing addressed many concerns. Steven Gose of Gose and Associates summarized revisions and told councilors the plan now provides 32 units, increased public parking, internal sidewalks, a passenger‑vehicle turnaround on the north end and larger lots along the western edge. John Bartley, also representing the applicant, said the developer plans to hire a professional homeowners association (HOA) manager rather than rely solely on resident volunteers.

Council debate and conditions proposed
Council discussion focused on neighborhood transition, housing type and long‑term use. One councilor moved to approve the revised plan with three conditions: an 8‑foot composite fence along the west side, evergreen (non‑cedar) trees along the west border, and a restriction that the four western lots be single‑story. The motion was seconded. Developers responded during the meeting that they were willing to limit the four western units to single‑story if that was required.

The motion failed on a 2‑3 vote. The meeting record lists voting no as Mayor William Joyce, Vice Mayor Jawlowski, and Councilor Hawkins; the two yes votes were the remaining council members.

Next steps and technical requirements
City staff said additional technical items must be resolved before construction or a final plat could proceed, including partial releases of utility easements tied to OG&E and dedication of seven feet of right‑of‑way along McElroy. Staff also noted the city’s Sidewalk Connect program and the Transportation Projects Advisory Committee (TPAC) as the route by which sidewalk connections — if desired by council or the community — would be evaluated and prioritized for funding. The developer will have to return for final plat and final PUD approval if it chooses to pursue the project again.

Clarifying details
- Units reduced: 42 → 32 (developer revision); gross density reported as 7.9 units/acre.
- Public parking increased from 9 to 29 (including on‑street parallel and common spaces).
- Developer‑proposed garage width on plans: 9.5 feet (residents said this would not fit most trucks/SUVs).
- Staff noted required easement work and right‑of‑way dedication along McElroy must be cleared before final plat.

What council did not decide tonight
Council did not adopt any final plat, binding covenants limiting short‑term rentals citywide, or a requirement that the developer build sidewalk connections beyond the site; staff said such sidewalk priorities are evaluated through TPAC and Sidewalk Connect and may require separate funding or engineering.
