The Moore City Council on Jan. 6 approved a series of routine and substantive items summarized below.

Final plat — The council approved the final plat for The Well Church, a 2.9-acre single‑lot church site north of Southeast 34th Street and east of Eastern Avenue; the preliminary plat was waived under code because the final plat contains one lot. Staff noted required public-water extension, adjacent sewer availability, and a required stormwater detention pond on the southeast corner of the site. (Vote: unanimous roll-call on item 4.)

Surplus body armor — The council declared 22 bulletproof vests surplus and authorized donation to the Oklahoma Association of Chiefs of Police, noting the vests are replaced on a five‑year cycle and will be distributed to smaller agencies. (Item 6, unanimous.)

Equipment and purchases — The council approved a budgeted purchase of 11 handheld portable radios and associated licensing and accessories from L3Harris in the amount of $36,768.56 (Sourcewell contract 042021-L3H) and approved replacement fitness equipment for fire stations (2 treadmills, benches and dumbbells) from Core Health and Fitness for $25,697.88. (Items 7 and 8, unanimous roll calls.)

Energy-efficiency lighting — The council approved a contract with Voss Electric (doing business as Voss Building) for LED lighting upgrades to the Moore Public Safety Center and tennis courts at Thomas Park in the amount of $96,200, funded entirely with an Oklahoma Department of Commerce Energy Efficiency Lighting Retrofit Program grant. (Item 9, unanimous.)

Priority Dispatch agreement — Council approved an agreement with Medical Priority Consultants Inc. (Priority Dispatch Corp.) for implementation of police emergency dispatch protocols in the amount of $126,632, funded by a grant from the Oklahoma 911 Management Authority. Council noted the city already uses the protocol system for medical and fire and that adding police protocols completes the three-discipline protocol set. (Item 10, unanimous.)

Turnpike resolution and sewer relocation — Council adopted Resolution No. 10324 expressing support for the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority’s Access Oklahoma program to improve turnpike facilities near Moore and committing to coordinate with OTA on a new interchange; staff said the project will require relocation of a sewer line from the wastewater treatment plant to the river, an approximately $27,000,000 project the OTA has agreed to pay 100%. (Item 11, unanimous.)

Storage lease amendment — Council approved an amendment to the Underground Vaults and Storage lease, increasing the monthly storage rate from $0.29 to $0.31 per cubic foot effective Jan. 1, 2025; staff reported the city realized lower-than-expected costs in calendar 2024. (Item 12, unanimous.)

Retirement plan annuity and transition — Council approved a group annuity contract with Standard Insurance Company for the city’s 457(b) deferred compensation and 401(a) retirement plans to handle a market value adjustment fee related to moving plans from Empower to Voya; staff said the arrangement is projected to generate additional interest for participants after fees amortize. (Item 13, unanimous.)

Interim public works director — The council approved an agreement with Dennis Boff Bothell as an interim part‑time public works director at $1,500 per week; staff said Bothell has worked with the city previously and recommended him for an interim assignment while the city begins a search for a permanent director. (Item 15, unanimous.)

Other routine approvals — The council approved several additional consent-docket and administrative items, including amendment to the city’s Delta Dental administrative fee (from $6.70 to $7.90 per subscriber per month) and various consent-docket items across city authorities and boards. (Items 1–2, 14, 16–17; votes recorded in the transcript.)

Most motions passed by unanimous roll call; individual roll-call votes for each item are recorded in the official minutes and the meeting transcript.
