Del City council approves consent items, appointments, public-works contracts and grant match
Summary
At its Aug. 18 meeting, the Del City City Council unanimously approved a consent docket of routine items, reappointed planning commissioners, approved a final plat, renewed professional services contracts and ratified a grant application committing up to $2,500 in matching funds for the "Revitalizing Rose Lane" project.
The Del City City Council voted unanimously Monday to approve the consent docket, reappoint planning commissioners, adopt a final plat for a residential addition and authorize several contracts and expenditures, including ratifying a grant application that would dedicate up to $2,500 in local matching funds if the award is made.
The council approved the consent docket (minutes, a FY 2024–25 budget amendment and a blanket purchase order for IT services not to exceed $98,000) by voice vote after a motion and second. The council then accepted the resignation and declared a planning commission vacancy for Ward 4 and approved three planning-commission appointments: Terry Parker (Ward 1), Mike Streetman (Ward 4) and Wendell Kluge (Ward 4).
On development business, the council approved a final plat for property at 420 Howard Drive (listed in the agenda as "Lady Blue Addition"). The council also renewed standing agreements for on-call professional services with engineering and architecture firms (Friese & Nichols; GH2 Architects; PEC; Agwire and Fields) with a task-limit structure, and ratified multiple municipal expenditures and contracts, including:
- $32,619.25 (not to exceed) for restriping school zones, crosswalks and stop bars with Action Safety (approved by motion and unanimous vote). - Renewal of the city's Flock Safety camera contract for continued use of eight cameras at $26,950.68 (contract expiration 06/30/2026) (approved by motion and unanimous vote). - Ratification of the city's application to the 2025 CERI program for a planning grant called Revitalizing Rose Lane, and a council pledge of up to $2,500 in matching funds if the grant is awarded (approved by motion and unanimous vote).
At the close of the council meeting the body adjourned and convened the Del City Municipal Services Authority (DCMSA), which approved a separate set of items that largely mirrored council actions, including renewal of the on-call professional services list and approval of a contract with DPM Group for printing and mailing utility bills and notices (see separate article). The DCMSA also approved entering into a contract with the Central Oklahoma Master Conservancy District (COMCD) for temporary water supply when available.
Votes at a glance (selected items and tallies): - Consent docket (items a, b, c): motion carried, yes 5, no 0 (Councilmembers Brown, Dean, Finch, Tatum, Mayor voted aye). - Resignation of Sam Turk (planning commission): motion carried, unanimous. - Appointments: Terry Parker, Mike Streetman, Wendell Kluge: each approved, unanimous votes. - Final plat, 420 Howard Drive (Lady Blue Addition): approved, unanimous. - Renewal: on-call professional services agreements (task-based): approved, unanimous. - Restriping (Action Safety), not to exceed $32,619.25: approved, unanimous. - Renewal of Flock Safety contract (eight cameras), $26,950.68: approved, unanimous. - Ratification of 2025 CERI application and commitment of up to $2,500 matching funds for Revitalizing Rose Lane: approved, unanimous.
Discussion during the meeting flagged questions about limits on task-based engineering authorizations and the budgetary cap for certain DCMSA purchases; council members asked staff to clarify when expenditures would return for separate council approval when they exceed manager-level spending limits.
