Seminole council approves ordinance recodification, EMS mannequins; pauses on fire truck purchase; backs regional power project support letter
Summary
The council approved a $23,260 recodification contract, authorized $6,191 for three EMS training mannequins, took no action on a $55,439 vehicle purchase after a grant retraction, and voted to send a support letter linking Seminole to a proposed power-generation project in Atoka.
Seminole City Council members approved several consent and action items, including an ordinance recodification contract and purchases for emergency medical training, and they voted to send a support letter backing a regional power-generation project.
On a roll-call vote, the council approved a $23,260 bid from American Legal Publishing LLC plus $1,500 annual maintenance to recodify the city’s ordinances. The city manager said recodification is required every 10 years; the item was described as a non-budgeted but necessary expense.
The council also approved a $6,191 purchase from Bound Tree for three training mannequins for Seminole Emergency Medical Services; that item was identified as a budgeted capital improvement project and passed on roll-call vote.
On a separately noticed item, council members were briefed that an Oklahoma Department of Agriculture food and forestry equipment replacement grant that would have funded a state-bid price of $55,439 for a 2025 Ford F-350 chassis for the fire department has been retracted by the forestry department. The city manager told the council the grant program is being reissued under new terms; the council took no action on the fleet purchase while staff re-applies for funding.
Separately, the council voted to send a nonbinding support letter to partner with the city of Atoka and the Nantucket Energy Park on a proposed power-generation facility intended to support new data-center development in the region. The manager described the memorandum as nonbinding and said participating cities would only be asked to sign a support letter now; a later municipal utility service agreement would be more binding and could create profit-sharing opportunities if the project is built. The roll call on the support letter showed unanimous approval.
Votes recorded on the items above were all recorded as affirmative on roll calls for councilmembers who were present. No public petitions or appearances were recorded on these items during the council meeting.
