City manager outlines 2025 bond planning, community surveys and public engagement timeline
Summary
City Manager reported internal kickoff for the 2025 bond package, public education plans, and upcoming micro‑surveys on connectivity and parks; he also said staff will invite Wagoner County commissioners to discuss a proposed sales‑tax measure tied to a county judgment.
The City Manager briefed council on preparations for the 2025 bond package including an internal kickoff meeting on the 15th and periodic updates to council as staff finalize estimates and projects. He said staff will present a program of work after the city budget process and conduct approximately 90 days of public education prior to any election ordinance, and that micro‑surveys will collect resident input on projects (connectivity and parks were highlighted).
The manager also flagged a Wagoner County plan for a special sales tax to pay a roughly $13.5 million judgment and proposed asking county commissioners to appear before the council on Jan. 17 to discuss the measure and its potential local impacts. He noted that nearly half of Wagoner County residents live in areas with Broken Arrow mailing addresses and recommended transparent outreach. Staff additionally reported extra notice to residents near Oak Creek Crossing after developers submitted a straight‑zoning application.
