City Council
Agenda — 2 items
- <strong>AGREEMENT WITH THE CENTER FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT LAW</strong>
- PROJECT UPDATES• Project Atlas (Data Center): The Planning Commission public hearing will take place on January 19th, 2026, and the City Council public hearing is scheduled for February 2, 2026. Both of these meetings will be held at ICTC.• Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Audit: McKay Hale, Assistant City Manager, is diligently working on the FY2025 Financial Report. Due to the retirement of our previous auditors, the City has a new auditing firm this year, and this has caused a slight delay in the release of the audit. We hope to have the final report completed in the next 4-6 weeks.• Economic Development: City staff recently met with several local business owners to discuss opportunities to strengthen our economic development efforts. The Mayor and Vice Mayor also held a follow‑up meeting to hear additional concerns and suggestions. While the City continues to support business recruitment efforts through the firm contracted by Wagoner County, I feel a more focused approach is needed to assist small businesses and improve business retention. Staff is planning additional meetings to bring together stakeholders interested in contributing ideas and participating in a coordinated effort to build a stronger local business base. If you are interested in joining a committee, please reach out to me. <br><br><strong id="isPasted">• Public Safety Building Groundbreaking Ceremonies: </strong><br>With the bids for the Police and Fire Stations scheduled for award, we are making plans for two separate groundbreaking events to be held in the next few weeks.• Budget Process for Fiscal Year 2026-2027: Planning for next year's budget will begin in the next couple of weeks. Please let me know if you have items or capital projects that you would like to see considered in the upcoming budget. Donald Vieth has proposed a dog park and disc golf course, which was designed a few years ago by a graduate student from OU to be completed at Cottonwood Park. I'm excited to move this project forward and hope to secure sufficient funding to begin building new facilities on the vacant flood properties that were purchased through FEMA grants several years ago.• City Manager Association of Oklahoma Conference:I will be out of the office January 21-23 attending the CMAO conference in Enid.
