Guthrie council unanimously approves $31 million wastewater treatment plant budget, OKs $7.14 million KIA draw
Summary
At a special July 25 meeting the City of Guthrie Council voted unanimously to approve an estimated $31,000,000 budget for a new wastewater treatment plant, accepted an amendment to the owner–engineer agreement and authorized planning/design work with a first KIA draw of $7,140,000.
Mayor James Covington called the City of Guthrie special council meeting to order at 16:30 hours and confirmed a quorum was present.
Mike McGhee presented an estimated project budget of $31,000,000 for a proposed wastewater treatment plant and an accompanying amendment to the Owner–Engineer Agreement. The council considered three motions tied to that agenda item: approval of the estimated budget, acceptance of the amendment to the Owner–Engineer Agreement, and authorization to proceed with planning and design plus submission of the first KIA draw for $7,140,000.
The first motion—to approve the estimated project budget of $31,000,000—was moved by Council Member Russ Longhurst and seconded by Council Member Harry Green. The motion carried unanimously.
A subsequent motion to accept the presented amendment to the Owner–Engineer Agreement was moved by Harry Green and seconded by Russ Longhurst; that motion also carried unanimously.
Finally, the council voted to proceed with planning and design work and to submit the first KIA draw of $7,140,000. That motion was moved by Council Member Chad Johnson and seconded by Russ Longhurst and carried unanimously.
After completing the item, Council Member Russ Longhurst moved to adjourn the special meeting at 16:38 hours; Harry Green seconded and the motion carried unanimously. The minutes list Alison Blumel as City Clerk and James Covington as Mayor.
The approvals authorize staff to begin planning and design work and to pursue the initial KIA funding draw. The transcript does not specify further schedule details for planning milestones or future council actions on the project.
