Coweta council approves FY2026‑27 budget calendar, $49,000 stormwater contract and $50,000 budget amendment
Summary
The Coweta City Council approved the FY2026‑27 budget calendar, authorized a $49,000 stormwater services contract with WSB LLC paid from the Streets Department, and adopted Resolution 2026‑05 appropriating $50,000 in the General Fund for stormwater consulting and related work.
The Coweta City Council on March 2 approved the FY2026‑2027 budget calendar and moved forward with short‑term stormwater planning and funding.
City Manager Julie Casteen presented the budget calendar and asked the council to set the schedule for the upcoming budget process. The council approved the calendar by motion of Naomi Hogue, seconded by Vice Mayor Jeremy Barnett; the vote was recorded as unanimous among the listed councilmembers.
Public Works Director Edgar Barroso then requested approval of a professional services agreement with WSB, LLC for stormwater management services in the amount of $49,000 to be paid from the Streets Department account 01‑5325.015. Council voted to approve the contract (motion by Naomi Hogue; second by Jeremy Barnett).
The council also adopted Resolution 2026‑05, which appropriates $50,000 in the General Fund from unencumbered fund balance for stormwater consulting services and other miscellaneous stormwater expenditures. Julie Casteen led the discussion on the resolution; the motion to adopt was moved by Naomi Hogue and seconded by Jeremy Barnett and passed unanimously.
Context and details: The meeting record notes other capital project updates reported by the City Manager, including completion of the police station building pad and preparation of footings, site clearing at Fire Station No. 1, ongoing work on the 121st Street Bridge right-of-way and demolition, a temporary pause on Midway Road construction pending Rural Water District 4 repairs, and dredging work at the water treatment plant expected to finish in May or June. Sandblasting on the Skyview Water Tower is complete and painting preparations are underway. The wastewater plant improvements are behind schedule; the contractor is preparing a revised completion timeline for ODEQ and any ODEQ fines from delay are to be offset by contractor penalties.
What’s next: The budget calendar sets milestones for the FY2026‑27 process; the WSB contract and Resolution 2026‑05 authorize short‑term consulting and set aside funds for stormwater work. Council did not provide additional deadlines for the contractor or specify revised wastewater completion dates during the meeting.
