The Guymon City Council on an evening agenda approved a bundle of budget amendments, ordinances, resolutions and procurement contracts, including a $6.8 million lagoon rehabilitation contract and zoning and retirement-plan ordinance changes.

The council front-loaded a set of year-end corrections to recognize additional revenues and associated expenses, then moved through a sequence of resolutions, ordinances and contracts that the city said were needed to proceed with scheduled capital work and routine operations.

Why it matters
Several of these approvals are tied to capital programs and grant funding the city is using to upgrade water and wastewater infrastructure and complete community-improvement work. The lagoon rehabilitation and the ODOT waterline relocations are multi-million-dollar projects that will affect utility budgets and construction schedules. The rezoning and retirement-plan ordinance provide legal and administrative frameworks that allow the city to proceed with development plans and remain in compliance with state and federal tax code requirements.

What council said
Council votes were routine for most items. Staff presenters explained that the master fleet lease is a paperwork step to permit future leasing, that the lagoon project includes a $1 million grant and will be funded in part by TIF proceeds, and that the Hydro Resources change order reduces the project price.

Next steps
Council and staff said pre-construction conferences are scheduled for several projects, final paperwork will be filed, and the city will proceed with procurement and construction as budgets and contracts allow.
