YUKON, Okla. — In routine business on Dec. 16 the Yukon City Council approved a batch of consent and infrastructure items that will shape near-term capital work and service contracts.
The consent docket included renewal of a short-term commercial lease with the Oklahoma Commissioners of the Land Office for water production from three existing wells (effective Jan. 1, 2026–Dec. 31, 2028); a budget amendment to transfer two vehicles into Public Works (contract SW0035, $91,550); and contract adjustments to extend emergency storm-debris removal services with Shawnee Mission Tree Services, Inc., DBA Arbor Masters applying a 2.46% CPI increase.
On capital projects, the council approved a cooperative agreement with the City of Oklahoma City for widening South Checkhall Road (West Reno to SW 15th) including water-line relocation; Yukon’s share for the water-line work was presented as $340,000. Separately, the council approved a utility-relocation agreement with AT&T Enterprises LLC for NW 10th and Cheadeck Parkway roadway improvements (estimated $55,000).
Planning actions on the consent docket included approval of a special-use permit for Wax Whiskers & Beyond (self-serve pet wash and retail) at 2 E. Main St., approval of the final plat for River Mesa Section 4 (705 Linda Lane) and denial of a special-use permit for Martinez Brothers Auto Sales at 4 E. Main Street after councilors cited prior site concerns.
The agenda also included revisions to the 2021–2026 Stormwater Management Plan, which councilors approved and used to emphasize the need for public outreach to landscapers and residents to prevent yard debris from entering storm drains.
What happens next: staff will move forward on contract execution, project scheduling and public education measures tied to stormwater implementation.
