In the quiet chambers of Pryor Creek's city hall, the Street Committee convened on May 27, 2025, to address pressing matters concerning the city's maintenance and beautification. As the meeting commenced, members took roll call, ensuring all were present and accounted for, ready to tackle the agenda ahead.

The first order of business was to review the minutes from the previous meeting held on April 22, 2025. However, a motion was swiftly made by Councilman Tyler Brown to table the approval until the next gathering, which received unanimous support from the committee.

The spotlight soon turned to the sealed bids for mowing the city’s right-of-ways, a crucial task for maintaining the aesthetic and safety of the community. Two bids were presented: the first from Duane Fout, totaling $30,000 for mowing services from July to September 2025 and again from April to June 2026. The second bid, from Craig and Chance Downs, came in lower at $28,998, boasting over 40 years of experience in commercial mowing and providing detailed insurance and bonding information.

After a brief discussion, the committee moved to recommend awarding the contract to the lower bidder, Craig and Chance Downs. The motion was seconded and passed with a clear majority, reflecting the committee's commitment to fiscal responsibility and quality service.

As the meeting drew to a close, the committee addressed any unforeseen business, but none arose. With a motion to adjourn, the members wrapped up their discussions, leaving the city hall with a sense of accomplishment and a plan in place for the upcoming mowing season. The decisions made during this meeting will undoubtedly contribute to the ongoing efforts to keep Pryor Creek a welcoming and well-maintained community.
