Council members debated whether posting new signs would be enforceable, costly and set an unwanted precedent of placing time-limited signs outside individual businesses. Council member Brashears raised concerns that placing signs for one business could “snowball,” and Mayor Terry and other members said the ordinance already on the books makes it illegal to park beyond the allowed time in the downtown parameter.

Buddy Glenn, the city’s street superintendent, and other council members noted there are 1,300 free public parking spaces downtown and said enforcement capacity is limited; the city has no dedicated parking-enforcement staff. Several council members urged business owners who believe a car has overstayed the limit to document instances (for example with time-stamped video or photos) and call the police to report violations.

During discussion the council identified two remaining, older signs on North Adair Street that reference two-hour limits from an earlier era. Council members agreed to remove those specific signs; council staff said they would contact the adjacent business owner before removal.

On the formal motion regarding the agenda item — a motion for no action — the council approved the motion by unanimous vote. The vote followed discussion and included the recorded ayes of Smith, Vershears and Omar.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Pryor Creek - Street Committee Meeting - September 23, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Council members discussed enforcement and signage for a two-hour downtown parking rule already in city code, voted to take no city-wide action and to remove two decades-old signs on North Adair Street after consulting the local business owner.","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},6458039,"Votes at a glance: Pryor Creek City Council actions, Aug. 26, 2025",11,2865000,2876000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5824082-e7c516449c88c4822069772d9567a5cd&start=2865&end=2876","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5824082-e7c516449c88c4822069772d9567a5cd/thumbnail_2865000.jpg","/articles/6458039/Pryor-Creek/Mayes-County/Oklahoma/Votes-at-a-glance-Pryor-Creek-City-Council-actions-Aug-26-2025","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6458039-14de025afc3359b1bbefb7dd4d9eb82f/orig.mp4?Expires=1773643161&Signature=Api3skyCqrXK1caOykqjm4dpMqB1ifKgArTyU1eNrhk9ZXVHMqpRhEfDxOTkHlx3fdd6Szvcq-mG0-xFvROhOaVk5nuM3g2plpReQwFElPLE~xekoKAC1QbgUc2ZrVP3Ns7PSTils8Z7U-5mRSCtIzPngv8~MJGiTMmj1iFLvo~vKli5UxYGO3RbH49T4Wc4Sqv3p~BW~ptp3fgfL5VCJICdEvx237f3VjhLRJkyM0zHCptsNwdNhsp3oLBBvvnxc7eGsRTp~40HbceE-r~5h1bh2rHUloIf05fTtf5rFFykxb6Y~dlG1gqfWcbs3tqXY8fxdnUaWVHSl2KeSCkvjA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Pryor Creek City Council recorded the following formal actions during its Aug. 26, 2025 meeting.

Glenn said crews cleared silted ditches, completed four wheelchair ramps and are preparing an additional ramp on Southeast Ninth Street in advance of a downtown event (the city is adding five more block closures, bringing its event-capacity block total to 22). He said the department will install roughly 200 feet of sidewalk running from the recreation center to the school parking lot; the school will place a ramp on the school side to complete the connection. Weather and rain currently limit progress.

Glenn reported a fallen tree at Southwest Third and Taylor that crews removed, and that the department installed a “no left turn” sign at Graham and Hogan because drivers were turning the wrong way onto a one-way street. He also described work with contractors at the new Votec building, where a poured entry had a six-inch lip; the contractor agreed to saw and regrade the poured entry at no charge so the water flow will match the existing roadway. The work will be verified after the concrete is finished.

Glenn said the department received its new FCC license and posted a copy at the shop. He closed by asking for questions and noting crews will prioritize sidewalk and drainage work as weather allows.","Public Works reported recent ditch cleaning, installation of wheelchair ramps, planning for 200 feet of sidewalk, traffic-sign changes and cooperation with a contractor to repair a poured driveway at the new Votec building at no city charge.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6458049,"Council reviews 2025–26 street, drainage and sidewalk priorities; Dog Pound Road and Clayton Road among top projects",611,1796000,2407000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5824082-e7c516449c88c4822069772d9567a5cd&start=1796&end=2407","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5824082-e7c516449c88c4822069772d9567a5cd/thumbnail_1796000.jpg","/articles/6458049/Pryor-Creek/Mayes-County/Oklahoma/Council-reviews-202526-street-drainage-and-sidewalk-priorities-Dog-Pound-Road-and-Clayton-Road-among-top-projects","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6458049-f8da2106351a35403b8ccb2d4f891f66/orig.mp4?Expires=1773643161&Signature=hP-3Agy0c8MINfi14fze1ND~hhb7-JvN3RM0SPVHlxi8Aw0kIMu860XOnwzPnEQu16AGwWgaI4VDUmXyU~kJE~cZFbYTRq1lbRzzP62umvKWiepjhaEXsbrIIERmIe4s7x1Rh7UkkslizmPEV-~5zU7Mqrr4511xBJdk~8lC4zii6d7fQKsL55F0QK4Gv6KpnvzTOe~OQr5xevPX9JUbfsQ63bhixXCOdOVSWod8YcF-sy4zRdQvxN-IjBJkyZPymuMUQgLlLjvsxNKpCU1p7nNIO9-uJI7t~YHwpoJECH0TohVxEkLkVQNL7CsnTMdcf6lMVT6GdCTfLDdRc9Kxyg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Pryor Creek council members discussed a multi-year list of street, drainage and sidewalk improvement projects for 2025–26 and reviewed sequencing, easement needs and utility conflicts.

The mayor and Public Works staff said the priority list includes Clayton Road (in coordination with the county), a full rebuild of Dog Pound Road, a resurfacing or mill-and-overlay on Fourteenth Street west of Elliot, a one-block repair on Jackson Street, reinforcement of the Cemetery Hill slope, and several drainage-focused projects in the Brentwood addition, Southeast Graham Court and Chouteau Courts additions. Staff also identified a sinkhole at 201 South Elliot; council members said a house sits partly above the drainage structure and that resolving the pipe and sinkhole could require condemnation and demolition if the structure prevents access to the drainage canal.

Engineering and right-of-way updates: Dale (engineer) and staff said the South Adelaide Street drainage project was scheduled to start but was waiting on the contractor’s traffic-control plan; the contractor planned to use mini-excavators and to stage work around school release times and weekends. Easement work for the Taylor property (Seventeenth east of O’Connell Street) is in the hands of the city attorney, and staff said they were pursuing easements in the Ridgewood/Brinwood area where MUB utility lines (three-inch and six-inch) cross private yards and limit space for drainage repairs.

Sidewalk work: staff noted an intended sidewalk project to repair the north-side sidewalk between Orphan and Orra (to connect Bailey Street to Elliot Street) and said budget and easement approvals will determine timing. The council discussed using in-house crews for base work where possible, and contracting for larger milling or overlay work because the city’s own milling equipment is small and contractors’ milling machines are more suitable for large areas.

Budget and implementation constraints featured prominently: council members noted limited staff and equipment capacity, seasonal/weather constraints, and the need to coordinate projects with other contractors to avoid overlapping work. Staff said they would let Public Works identify what work the in-house crew can handle and would bring contractors in for larger resurfacing or milling projects as needed.

Council members asked staff to prioritize projects and to notify affected residents for any multi-month road work; they also directed staff to continue negotiating easements and to return with specific project timelines and cost estimates as they become available.","Council members reviewed a list of planned street, drainage and sidewalk projects for 2025–26, discussed easement needs and utility conflicts, noted a sinkhole at 201 South Elliot and identified Clayton Road, Dog Pound Road and Cemetery Hill as among the highest priorities.","actionData","errors"]
