Guy Engineering Services, Inc. was approved for a Service Agreement for professional services needed for the 49th W. Ave./State Highway 117 Intersection Project, “including Design, Survey, Right of Way Documentation, and Staking at a collective cost of $73,828.00, and Utility Relocation Coordination, Right of Way Acquisition and Environmental Study” for an additional cost of $55,864.00 for a total of $129,692.00. This will be paid for from the Major Thoroughfare Fund, and the County will be also working with Guy Engineering for their part of the project. The first two phases (Design at $53,932.00 and Survey at $19,896.00) will begin immediately.

OG&E has agreed to donate a 4.85 acre (m/l) of property to be used for SeneGence’s sanitary sewer line lift station and equalization basin. The donation is equal to about $100,000.00 and, in exchange, the City agreed to waive any future tap fee if and when OG&E chooses to hook onto the line and receive sewer service at its location on Highway 33.

The City Council members agreed to amend the Master Fee Schedule to the Sapulpa City Code to provide for a rate for Specific Use Permit Licenses and Renewals. The new ordinance will charge $100.00 for a renewal of a SUP that would otherwise expire at the end of the term (usually a year).

At last, the Council went into Executive Session at 7:14 and returned at 7:30, agreeing to proceed with the purchase of a piece of property “for the amount mentioned in Executive Session,” as Vice Mayor Lou Martin, Jr., said in his motion. The location of the real property is the SW/4 of Section 34, Township 18N, Range 11E (near the Sapulpa golf course.) No purchase amount was disclosed.

The next Sapulpa City Council meeting will take place on October 7th, and will be considering, among other agenda items, three more medical marijuana SUPs.
