Del City updates: events, new businesses, fire and public works report on well flushing

City staff and department heads used the meeting to preview events, describe development activity and report operational status across public safety and public works.

Joshua Schultz, executive director of the Del City Chamber of Commerce, promoted an annual auction on Sept. 26 and a fishing clinic at Eagle Lake on Oct. 26 (9 a.m.–noon) that will be run with the Department of Wildlife; the program will waive fishing licenses during clinic hours and charge $10 per parent to help cover costs. Kyle Gandy, Economic Development Director, reported Del City's induction into the Select program, previewed a brand reveal on Nov. 12 (6–9 p.m.) and listed at least five businesses nearing opening, including development near Reno and Sunny Lane.

Fire and emergency services reported 397 calls for the month, 284 medical calls, five fires, completion of school fire drills and life-safety inspections, and a promotion to captain. Public Works (Britney) detailed a new work-order tracking system covering mowing, drainage, sign repair and sewer work; the department processed 160 bulk-trash service orders (~41.5 tons), completed 3,193 feet of sewer-line cleaning, and reported ongoing hydrant repairs. A well at 27th and Leeriot was being flushed following a pump and motor replacement; the city submitted the first water sample to the Department of Environmental Quality and will submit a second test before returning the well to service.

The reports were informational; no substantive policy changes or additional budget requests for these items were recorded in this meeting segment.
