Stillwater council approves settlement with Terracon Consultants and BKL Inc.
Summary
After an executive session under 25 O.S. §307(B)(4), the council approved a settlement agreement resolving a pending claim over geotechnical investigation services for city bridge maintenance project 14TRO3; the motion passed 4-0.
The Stillwater City Council approved a settlement agreement on May 4 with Terracon Consultants, Inc. and BKL, Inc. related to alleged issues with geotechnical investigation services on city project 14TRO3, following a confidential executive session authorized under state law.
City Attorney (Miss Karnley) had requested the executive session under 25 O.S. §307(B)(4) for confidential communications concerning the pending claim. After returning to open session, a council member moved to approve the settlement agreement; the motion passed 4-0.
The council did not provide details of the settlement terms during public session; the executive-session request stated the city attorney believed public disclosure would "seriously impair the ability of the city to process the claim or proceed in the public interest." The written settlement agreement and any required summary or vote records are part of the city’s official minutes.
