May 6, 2014 City Council Meeting

The council approved the drainage channel project at Hall and Lee streets for the 2014 Community Development Block Grant, which will address long-standing drainage issues in the area.

A contract was awarded for the reconstruction of South Monroe Street, 19th Avenue, and Walnut Street as part of the city's pavement management program, with an early start date of June 6th and incentives for early completion.

The first reading of an ordinance amending Chapter 3 to allow 3.2 beer sales at special events at Lake McMurtry was approved. This aims to attract more events and support the lake's sustainability.

The council appointed Vice Mayor Weaver as the city council representative, Trey McCune as the Planning Commission representative, and Marcy Lamb as the taxing entity representative to the initial TIF District Committee.

The Stillwater Utility Authority adopted Resolution SUA 2014-2 regarding the debt management policy.
