Votes at a glance: Del City council approves budgets, contracts, appointments and routine items

Del City’s governing bodies approved a series of routine but consequential measures on June 1. The council, the Del City Economic Development Authority (DCEDA) and the Dell City Municipal Services Authority (DCMSA) recorded votes on budgets, contracts, appointments and operational agreements.

Key actions approved (all motions passed unless noted):

- Appointments and resignations: Accepted resignation of Richard Hutchinson/Hudson from the Planning Commission (Ward 3); appointed Hezekiah Miles to that seat and swore him in. Accepted Jim Studebaker’s resignation from the Board of Adjustment and appointed Daryl Standridge; both appointees took the oath of office.

- Budgets: DCEDA adopted its FY2026–2027 budget (recorded in the minutes as resolution 06 012026D / 060012026D). DCMSA and the City approved their FY27 budgets (resolution numbers cited in the public record). Council members said the budgets fund repairs and priority projects identified during the fiscal cycle.

- Contracts and procurement: Council approved RFP 2701 for lawn and landscape services for parks and city facilities and authorized city leadership to execute the contract. The council also approved a jail-services contract with the Oklahoma County Criminal Justice Authority for FY27 to continue inmate housing agreements and approved continuation of the household hazardous-waste arrangement with Midwest City.

- Personnel and pay: Council approved the FY27 pay-range and classification chart, adding several positions and adopting a 3% cost-of-living change.

Motions were generally moved, seconded, and approved by recorded voice votes. Where staff promised follow-up—such as promotion of the HHW appointment process, confirmation of tire-collection services, and publication of revised pay schedules—council asked for reports at future meetings.
