Del City trustees and council approve vehicle purchase, surplus radio donation, final plat and reduce bulk‑waste surcharge
Summary
In a series of operational votes, Del City approved donating 14 surplus Motorola radios to Logan County Emergency Management, approved a final plat for Crutcho Creek Farms, authorized purchase of a 2025 Ford police interceptor (total $70,003.62), and lowered bulk‑waste overage fees from $15 to $10 per cubic yard.
At the May 18 meeting Del City’s council and associated trust bodies approved a set of operational items intended to support public safety, sanitation and local development.
Surplus radios: Council declared 14 Motorola XTL 2500 mobile radios surplus and approved donation to Logan County Emergency Management mutual aid partners. The motion to declare surplus and to donate the units carried by unanimous recorded vote and council also declared the donation to serve a public purpose.
Final plat: Council approved the final plat for the property at 901 North Sooner Road (Crutcho Creek Farms edition, Plat 702‑26) and authorized the mayor to endorse the documents. The motion carried with recorded ayes.
Police vehicle: Council approved purchase of a 2025 Ford Police Interceptor Utility (AWD) from Duval Ford for $46,730 and upfitting from Dana Supply Safety for $23,273.62, for a total of $70,003.62, to be drawn from an existing 2019 series loan allocation. Staff said the unit will be used for community outreach and as a demonstration vehicle if a proposed GO bond proceeds.
Bulk‑waste fee: Trustees adopted an amendment to reduce the charge for each additional cubic yard beyond the four‑cubic‑yard allowance from $15 to $10 and to allow automatic pickup with the overage billed to the water account. Staff presented data showing limited revenue from the higher fee and noted that lowering the per‑cubic‑yard charge reduces the burden on residents while simplifying pickup procedures.
Why it matters: The votes streamline sanitation operations, support mutual aid for emergency management partners, finalize a local plat for development, and replace/upgrade a public‑safety vehicle that staff said will improve presentation and recruitment efforts.
What’s next: Staff will coordinate transfer of surplus radios, execute the vehicle purchase and upfitting contract, and update billing and pickup procedures for bulk waste.
