After a closed executive session permitted by state law, the Durant City Council voted to approve a collective bargaining agreement with the city's firefighters union.
At the May 8 meeting the council first moved to enter executive session to discuss the collective bargaining agreement between the City of Durant and Local 3061 of the International Association of Fire Fighters, AFL-CIO (bargaining agent for fiscal years 2025–2027). City staff cited the statutory authority for the executive session as 25 O.S. §307(B)(2).

The motion to approve passed on a roll call vote recorded as: Council member Miller — yes; Council member Scheer — yes; Council member Fuller — yes; Vice Mayor Mike Simalescu — yes.
Meeting remarks and the public record did not disclose the agreement's financial terms, staffing changes, or specific language; those details were not presented in open session. The council entered the signed agreement into the official meeting record as amended/approved in open session.
