Durant, Okla. — Durant City Council’s Jan. 13 meeting included routine business and administrative approvals: the council approved the consent agenda (minutes of Dec. 9, budget supplement BA 26-5 and the 2026 citizen participation plan), received November 2025 fund reports and the December 2025 sales tax report, and approved a series of planning items and name changes.

Finance staff (Anne) reported November general-fund year-to-date revenue/expenditure percentages and presented a December sales tax total of $1,851,572.80, noting the capital-improvement fund showed a negative year-to-date balance driven by a pending reimbursement.

Council approved a replat near East Cedar Street and the conditional-use permit for fuel-storage tanks on North 1st Avenue; it also named the lake access road "Little Blue Lane" to help mapping services route traffic away from a narrow county road. The council recessed to hold short authority meetings (Airport Authority, Utilities Authority, and Development Authority), each of which approved single consent items and adjourned.

The council recognized long-serving employees with service awards (10-, 15-, 20- and 40-year recognitions) and presented a proclamation commemorating PEO International Founders' Day.
