Summary
Summary of formal votes taken at the April 7 Bartlesville City Council meeting, including consent‑agenda approvals, a water‑plant pump contract, annexation notice and a K‑9 retirement program direction.
The Bartlesville City Council recorded several formal actions April 7. Below are the key outcomes, with short details and next steps.
• Consent agenda — Approved (motion to approve consent docket as presented, with two items pulled for separate consideration). Items on the consent docket included minutes, reappointments to boards, budget amendments, contract renewals and purchases. Two items were pulled: (1) budget amendment item 7C1 (corrected to show transfer to Adams Municipal Golf Course operating fund instead of memorial fund) and (2) 7D8, a five‑year golf‑cart lease agreement with optional GPS equipment. The council approved the consent agenda after removing those items; the corrected budget item and the golf‑cart lease were later considered and approved separately.
• Water plant high‑service pump VFD replacement (Bid No. 2024/2025‑014) — Awarded. The council authorized awarding the bid to replace two aging variable‑frequency drives (VFDs) for high‑service pumps at the treatment plant; staff said the city budgeted capital funds and recommended purchasing both units together to save cost. Motion passed by voice vote.
• Budget amendment correction (7C1) — Approved separately. Council approved the corrected budget language clarifying that the revenue was intended for the Adams Municipal Golf Course operating fund (not the memorial fund).
• Golf‑cart lease agreement (7D8) — Approved. Council approved a five‑year lease for replacement golf carts and optional GPS system for the municipal golf course; council members said the GPS geofencing will help protect greens. Motion carried by roll call.
• Annexation petition notice for former Siemens site (Diner Out LLC / Lincoln Electric property) — Directed staff to publish notice. The owners requested annexation of the former Siemens facility (about 27.015 acres) into the city for building‑permit, inspection and code‑enforcement purposes. Motion passed.
• K‑9 retirement subsidy program — Directed staff to draft policy and include program in next budget. Council asked the police department to develop a policy for a retirement assistance program to help former police dogs and their adoptive handlers with initial supplies and potential veterinary/end‑of‑life costs; staff will return with a draft policy and budget request.
Votes and formal motions at the meeting reflected routine municipal business and specific, staff‑recommended procurement and policy directions.
