Muscogee council approves routine purchases, appointments and fee adjustments
Summary
On May 11 the council approved a series of routine items, including appointments, surplus declarations, vehicle purchases, wholesale water-rate changes and continuation of a solid-waste improvements fund; most votes were decided by roll call.
The City of Muscogee on May 11 approved multiple routine administrative and procurement items across committee sessions and a special-call council meeting.
Among actions taken: the finance committee approved its April 13 minutes; Melody Cranford was named vice chair of the finance committee; the council declared certain personal property surplus (including a 1998 Ferrara fire engine) and authorized its sale; the city approved donating that surplus engine to Fort Gibson; the facilities department received approval to buy a 2026 Ford F350 under state contract; public works approved a MAC GR64F 10-wheel dump truck via state contract; and council approved an amendment to wholesale water rates for outside customers by Resolution 3091.
The council also approved Resolution 3090 to continue the Solid Waste Improvements fund (a $2.50 fee estimated to yield about $380,000 annually) and adopted permit and acceptance of sanitary sewer lines for a South Country Club Road widening project. The council appointed Councilor Jeremy Schuler to the City Facilities Board and reappointed Evelyn Hibbs to the Muscogee Medical Center Authority.
Most items passed on recorded roll-call votes; the meeting record shows recorded yes/no votes for each motion where applicable. Several members asked about local sourcing for fleet purchases and about citation counts in the stormwater report; staff answered that some purchases are on state contract and citation details were not immediately available.
These approvals are routine procurement, appointment and housekeeping matters needed to support city operations and capital projects.
