Pryor Creek — The Pryor Creek City Council opened two sealed bids for mowing rights-of-way and voted to award the work to the low bidder, while deferring approval of the April 22, 2025 meeting minutes to the next meeting.
Council member Tyler Brown moved to table approval of the April 22, 2025 minutes “till the next meeting,” and an unnamed presiding official seconded the motion. The motion carried on recorded “yes” votes by Brown and Council member Kenneth Brashears; the minutes were tabled.
During the sealed-bid opening, the council heard two proposals covering mowing within city limits for July–September 2025 and April–June 2026. A bid from Duane Fout was read for $30,000 for those months. A second bid, listed as from Craig and Chance Downs, was described in the record with two different amounts: the transcript first records that bid as $28,998 and later as $28,009.98. Council staff said both bidders provided equipment lists, backup equipment, insurance and bond documentation. Council member Brown moved “to award as a low bidder,” and the presiding official seconded. The recorded votes include Brown and Brashears voting “yes”; the council approved the award.
The meeting record notes that council member Buddy Glenn was absent. No other formal conditions, contract start dates, or written award documents were specified on the public record during the discussion. The council did not discuss further contract terms, performance standards, or a formal contract number during the recorded portion of the meeting.
