Yukon council approves paving, pool renovation, payment claims and waives sewer fee; postpones one construction contract
Summary
Council approved the YMA and city consent dockets, accepted a $1.33 million paving contract, approved a Kimball Bay pool renovation not to exceed $88,985.78, waived a sewer connection fee for a specific property, and postponed a $1.67 million Brewer Construction contract for further review.
At its March 2025 meeting the Yukon City Council approved routine consent items, awarded a paving contract, authorized a pool renovation and waived a sewer connection fee for an existing structure, while postponing one large construction contract for further review.
The council approved the Yukon Municipal Authority consent docket and the city consent docket that included minutes, the payment of material claims in the amount of $528,500.20, the medical disability retirement of Cindy Shivers and surplus designation of technology items for sale or disposal.
In business actions, the council voted to: - Approve a contract with Schwartz Paving Company Inc. in the amount of $1,333,470.00 and accept the accompanying bonds as recommended by the city engineer. Vote: Wooten — Yes; Kilmore — Yes; Zimmerman — Yes; Selby — Yes; Shriver — Yes; Gilmore — Yes. Outcome: approved. - Postpone action on a contract with Brewer Construction Oklahoma LLC in the amount of $1,676,508 to the next regular meeting to allow more time for council review of bit specs and city engineer feedback. Outcome: postponed (motion to postpone passed by roll call). - Approve bid and contract with Hydroscapes LLC for the Kimball Bay pool renovation in an amount not to exceed $88,985.78 plus additional repairs at $37.25 per linear foot, as recommended by the Parks and Recreation director. Vote: unanimous yes. Outcome: approved. - Approve a request, made by Larry Wright of Cyrus Wright Plumbing on behalf of Tom Wolf, to waive the sewer connect fee for an existing structure at 424 South Sixth Street, Yukon, Oklahoma (as recommended by the assistant city manager). Vote: recorded as Yes by Selby, Wooten, Gilmore, Shriver and others. Outcome: approved.
Later in the meeting, following two executive sessions held under Oklahoma Statutes Title 25 §307(b)(4) (confidential communications with the city attorney about pending litigation) and §307(b)(2) (confidential communications about employees), the council authorized the city manager to identify outside legal counsel as necessary for pending litigation. Vote: Zimmerman — Yes; Kilmore — Yes; Selby — Abstain (recusal noted); Shriver — Yes; Wooten — Yes. Outcome: approved.
Why this matters: The contracts and approvals advance public-works projects and park amenities while the postponed Brewer Construction item shows council caution on technical bid specifications. The sewer-fee waiver affects a single property owner; the outside-counsel authorization addresses ongoing litigation and was approved with one recusal.
Votes at a glance: all recorded motions and outcomes were included in the meeting record and approved by roll call unless noted as postponed or recused.
