Sapulpa City Council

Read the heartwarming message read by the Mayor at Monday's City Council meeting honoring Pete Egan, a lifelong and devoted Sapulpan who passed away in June.

Winning bidders will be required to apply for a building permit within 6 months of the date of closing. One lot went for as little as $8,000 and others had no bids at all.

The park would become the latest in a number of iconic stops on the west side of Sapulpa as Route 66 merges into downtown. Other popular attractions include The TeePee Drive-In, The Heart of Route 66 Auto Museum with its "World's Tallest Gas Pump," and the Indian Blanket Mural.

The changes come after city staff analyzed the fees and their usage, looking for ways for the city and golfers to get the best value for their dollar.

The increase in utility rates will be as much as 30% in some cases, but still keeps Sapulpa somewhere in the middle when compared to the rates of other cities for water, and on the high end in sewer rates compared to other cities.

Sapulpa received $6.3 million in funding through grants from the SITES program which the Department of Commerce operates, according to City Attorney David Widdoes. The industrial park would be on a 90-acre plot at 8701 Frankoma Road.

“The hope is to create a tourist destination and community park right there along Route 66 taking us from downtown Route 66, through our town, all the way to the (Heart of Route 66) Auto Museum.”

Challenger Sherry Capps has defeated incumbent Brian Stephens for the Ward 2, Seat 2 spot on Sapulpa's City Council.

Monday's Council meeting began with a preliminary report on the 2024 Route 66 Christmas Chute with the regular session being highlighted by a sewer evaluation survey and updated fire department software. 

The new facility would be located at the corner of Highway 117 and South 49th West Avenue and employ around 200 people.
