The Edmond City Council meeting on June 9, 2025, focused on two significant motions regarding emergency repairs for the fire department and an update on the city's legislative agenda.
The council first addressed the urgent need for repairs to Fire Unit T2, which required the replacement of its engine. The council unanimously approved a motion to waive competitive bidding due to the emergency nature of the situation, allowing for immediate action to ensure the fire unit remains operational. The total cost for the repairs was noted as $124,539.67. This decision was made to prevent any potential impact on the safety and health of Edmond residents.
Following the emergency repair discussion, the council turned its attention to the 2025 legislative session. Casey Moore, the director of management services, introduced representatives from CSS Partners, the city's contract lobbying firm. They provided an overview of the progress on Edmond's legislative agenda, emphasizing the importance of their work at the State Capitol.
The meeting concluded with both motions passing unanimously, reflecting the council's commitment to maintaining public safety and staying engaged with legislative developments that affect the city.
