Sapulpa City Council

Monday’s city council meeting began with a full, buzzing room and police officers blocking further attendees due to room occupancy. Controversy surrounding the proposed construction of a new 5G Verizon tower generated significant public interest. 

Out of the five seats in City Council up for reelection, only Ward 2 will have a contender, following the withdrawal of another challenger in Ward 5.

The decision comes as the City learns of estimated times to complete the project and requirements to secure federal grant dollars to pay for it.
