[2:09] names.
>> Trucks.
[2:13] » We need some gentlemen on there. Staff
report. Okay.
[2:19] Um,
[2:23] I applied for two grants yesterday.
Um,
[2:30] one was for the community fire
assistance 8020 grant for the fire
[2:34] department for bunker gear and a new
command truck for the fire chief.
[2:41] I may strangle him if he does that to me
again, but it was due yesterday. So, we
[2:46] did it yesterday. We got it Friday.
>> He got it Friday. We did it yesterday.
[2:51] Got it turned in. Um so the other grant
was the Oklahoma Department of Emergency
[2:57] Management for Outdoor Warning Systems
grant. Um, this would include upgrading
[3:02] and modernization
of the two existing TI21 systems, the
[3:08] purchase and installation of three new
federal signal
[3:12] 2001-130,
and the purchase and implementation of
[3:17] the Commander 1 emergency messaging and
activation system. So, that was all
[3:22] turned into them. So hopefully we'll
hear about those um two grants and I'm
[3:27] looking for other grants for equipment
and stuff for this upcoming year. Um the
[3:32] server at city hall is going out and a
new server has been purchased. Um but
[3:37] Enco cannot do the uh conversion to the
new server on a weekend or on a Friday.
[3:44] So we have scheduled the conversion to
take place on Monday, June the 29th.
[3:49] Um the office will have to be closed
that day as all the computers will be
[3:53] down and so we'll get this posted on the
website website and signs hung up at
[3:58] city hall but we are currently having
daily issues with the server. Um we have
[4:05] computers that aren't connecting and
we're having to do something daily on
[4:11] that. So we're going to limp it along
until June the 29th, but we'll have to
[4:15] have it closed all day that day.
So, the Hughes County Historical Society
[4:23] Night Swim fundraiser is Friday from
6:00 to 8. So, go out and support the
[4:28] museum, the spring car show, and the
citywide garage sales this weekend. So,
[4:34] go see some cool cars and buy other
people's treasures.
[4:38] Um, the budget is finally
balanced.
[4:45] Um, so
we will run it in the paper for a public
[4:49] hearing. We will probably need to have
um a council meeting after the 16th, the
[4:56] week after so we can get the public
notice ran in the paper um just to
[5:02] approve that. Um
we had to make some hard decisions. Um I
[5:11] cut out all the capital outlay.
I did as much cutting as I could. We had
[5:17] a lot of expenses due to
back bills that weren't paid that had to
[5:24] be paid off this year. Part of that on
the water plant is we got hit really
[5:28] hard with DEQ. When you ignore them for
four years, they come at you full blast
[5:32] and they came at us. And so we have
stuff that we agreed to do. We have
[5:39] consent orders and we agreed to certain
things. So we need to put it on there.
[5:42] So, we really need to tighten our belts
this year. Next year, um you have a
[5:48] piece of paper in front of you. Um
that where we'll
[5:55] suggest to you
that um but that is to raise the water
[6:06] rates 5%,
the sewer rate 7%.
[6:12] Yes.
>> And it would make the minimum bill go up
[6:16] to74.58.
We're losing money on the garbage. We
[6:21] pay more for the garbage service than we
charge.
[6:25] And in order to s to sustain a new water
plant and sewer plant and to keep um the
[6:33] money going, that's just what we have to
do.
[6:39] We're still a lot cheaper than a lot of
people around. We are we will kiss us is
[6:43] $90 and something
[6:48] less meters though.
>> We have 1100. They have 1100 with 15.
[6:55] » That's quite a few less meters.
>> We have a water and sewer plant that we
[7:02] are required to
[7:09] do something with.
um and it had been neglected for a
[7:14] while. So, okay.
And then you should have a piece of
[7:20] paper that you will be getting every
month at the very
[7:25] um you should get it at the first of
every month and it will have the
[7:32] the bank accounts, their balance from
the previous month, what was deposited,
[7:38] what was the expenses, and then the
ending balance. So you'll get that every
[7:42] month.
[7:52] and we're working with
Waterorth
[7:57] on the project so we know where we need
to be.
[8:01] Um Ron has seen that program. if you
want to look at it, want to see it, um
[8:11] they're finishing that up and you're
welcome to attend one of the um
[8:17] Zoom meetings with them, but they they
are going to tell us what our rates need
[8:21] to be, what we need to increase so that
our money does not dip down below where
[8:29] we're in critical good position. Sounds
good.
[8:34] Any
more?
[8:37] » Nope.
Okay,
[8:41] this meeting is adjourned.
[8:49] » Call to order the Homeville Public Works
Authority meeting for June 2nd, 2026.
[8:54] Roll call, please. Laura Bab
>> here.
[8:56] » Don Marman

[8:58] » Ron Thatford here.
>> Mike Gawker here.
[9:00] » Tammy White here.
>> Any communication? Would you tell me
[9:04] again what the
water rate is? Water sewer and garbage
[9:09] rate is the minimum.
>> Uh the minimum bill with everything
[9:13] right now is 70 89
>> 89
[9:16] » and with the increase it will be 74.86.
So it'll be $474.86.
[9:24] And that's
that would be with the I'm assuming
[9:29] that's with the $1 garbage, not the $2.
It's with the $1. Yes. If you just have
[9:35] one Polycart.
[9:40] » Okay. Okay. Thank you.
>> Yeah. And that's with the um 25 cent
[9:44] that's on there and the $2. So, right
now at 7089, it'll go to 74.86.
[9:51] » Thank you.
>> If you approve it and then that'll cover
[9:53] the trash. Cover the trash.
On to the consent agenda. Any discussion
[10:00] or motion? Another
[10:06] motion.

[11:30] » Good evening. Um the water transfer
project is doneing
[11:35] electrical installation this week and
we'll be planning for startup again next
[11:41] week to um they will go in there and
start up the equipment and iron out any
[11:48] kinks and then they'll invite us the
representative of the city. So that
[11:54] initial startup will not involve us. It
will just be making sure
[11:59] and then they'll invite us to
[12:05] » Oh yeah. And there is a pre-construction
meeting for the station project
[12:10] tomorrow.
Um, that notice that came in is just to
[12:15] make sure that everybody's spending
their grant money for the headline.
[12:22] » 10:00 a.m. You said 10:00 a.m. tomorrow.
Is it 10?
[12:26] » Trisha, I guess I have a question. Who's
going to be the button pusher of this
[12:30] project? I mean, who's going to turn the
pump on and off at any given time?
[12:38] Well, that's not
>> No. I thought she was about to speak.
[12:41] » Oh,
>> no. Hell no.
[12:45] » I mean, are we going to have a dedicated
person to go check it to see if it's
[12:49] blowed up or somebody's vandalized it
again or
[12:52] » the water transfer?
>> Yes, ma'am.
[12:54] » Yes, we need to.
>> So, you need somebody to
[12:56] » We need um We really need cameras out
there.
[12:59] » Well, I understand it's a pretty
sophisticated system.
[13:03] » It is. And there needs to be a fence
around there and it needs to be checked
[13:08] on a regular basis. It needs to be
checked on the weekends.
[13:14] » Don't we have a staff member that can be
doing that?
[13:17] » Yeah, we do. We have a couple of them.
>> There does not or we have to tell them
[13:22] to use.
>> Well,
[13:25] I think after the first time when they
went in there, they cut the lock and
[13:30] stole it. It was being checked. I know
Wayan goes out there
[13:34] » quite a bit.
>> Um,
[13:36] » but who's who's gonna be who's gonna
say, "Hey, it's time to pump water.
[13:40] Let's go push the button."
>> Yeah.
[13:44] » But it's got to be part of the water
plant, too.
[13:48] So,
responsibility.
[13:50] » Let me let me let me add to that. The
the concept is is that once it's all in
[13:55] place, the city can make the decision
that they can turn the pump on. If
[14:01] you're going into the dry time of the
year and there's water in the lake, you
[14:05] want to be able to pull it from that
lake to the other. If you're at the wet
[14:08] time of the year and both lakes are
full, there's no reason to spend the
[14:11] money to do that. So, there's going to
be a judgment call that can be made by a
[14:17] person associated probably with the
water plant will make that decision.
[14:21] That's a pretty easy thing and it's not
something that's going to be written in
[14:25] stone. If it's at this, you do this.
There is going to be a judgment as to
[14:29] what time of year, what the lake
elevation is doing. If it's rising,
[14:33] there's no need to put to spend the
money to put water in it. If the lake
[14:37] level is declining because it's moving
into the dry time of year, then there's
[14:41] the decision to to turn it on, transfer
water that there's there's going to
[14:46] always be a human element to it. It
can't be automated, and you don't want
[14:50] it to be automated like that. You want a
human element to make that decision.
[14:55] Will there be
>> I think between Whan, he lets me know
[14:58] what the water levels are
>> at the lake and the water plant.
[15:04] I think between those communications,
if it needs to be turned on, then we'll
[15:09] make that decision to turn that on.
I agree. I don't think it should be ran
[15:14] all the time. If it's full, if it
doesn't, and
[15:17] » what are we waiting on to get the
cameras? What do we need to do? I mean,
[15:20] we can't let it keep getting vandalized.
money.
[15:25] » We just have nothing at all we can use.
I mean, we can't keep letting it
[15:31] someone.
>> You're going to have to have internet
[15:33] out there if you're going to watch
something live.
[15:36] » Internet. Um, which is that's what we're
working on. Can we get something like we
[15:41] have at the cemetery? Can we get what we
had to put out there? Can we bounce it
[15:46] off of something? Those are the things
that we have them looking at right now.
[15:53] So once everything is in place, for a
person to go and and vandalize, alter,
[16:00] or do something nefarious, that's a
that's a legal offense.
[16:05] » It's probably something that even may
fall under a federal offense
[16:09] perspective. You can't go mess with that
with drinking water supplies. Even if
[16:15] you're want to go steal copper, you
can't do that. That is that is
[16:18] punishable by lots of different
agencies.
[16:21] local
>> they're doing it now so long because
[16:24] I've already done that though.
>> Yeah, the project's not done and
[16:27] functional.
>> Is different than a project that's
[16:31] secured in place and functional,
>> but you still don't know who's doing it
[16:35] because you can't catch them and it's
going to be the same thing then. Well,
[16:41] yes, but once you start going on record
of having drinking water breakins and
[16:47] drinking water system alter alterations
that that changes what parties get
[16:54] involved. It becomes a much more serious
offense.
[16:56] » It also might trigger some different
funding elements too because of federal
[17:00] stuff
>> and and part of that cyber security
[17:02] grant. I sent an email to ask them can
we where we were going to use some of
[17:08] that other cyber security stuff. Can we
move it out to that location for them to
[17:13] pay for that?
>> Well, we're not
[17:15] » they don't have a response.
>> We're not on the best of terms with the
[17:17] city anyway since that project failed
and people are not happy right
[17:22] » with this project also. So that's we
need
[17:27] dig up a can of money or something.
Well, we like I said, we are trying to
[17:34] figure out what how we can get Wi-Fi out
there, how we can get the cameras to
[17:38] operate where we can watch them and
record.
[17:42] » We've taken our two mobile little things
from the house to the lake and you can
[17:48] use them in your camper.
So, it may be possible to have two
[17:52] mobile out there.
>> A hot spot.
[17:55] » No, it's a whole
It's a router, but it's hot. I had sail
[18:00] cameras out there because I dear hunt. I
used to archery hunt out there and you
[18:04] don't have any service for your cell
cameras. You're going to need something
[18:08] up high. You're going to have to have
something on a pole.
[18:15] » You start with something really really
simple. You could just go with some
[18:18] trail cameras and then if there's
anything go
[18:21] » the video.
>> We don't have to go to satellite service
[18:26] immediately.
>> I ask Ron to go get
[18:30] um trail cams to go out there.
>> There's just no service out there. I had
[18:35] my cameras were stolen out there as well
and there just they go up there take
[18:38] them off the tree and just hardly get
any service out there at all.
[18:41] » That's kind of why we need to have them
a little bit higher. But
[18:43] » like the ones at the cemetery and all
all those cameras are on my phone and
[18:48] then I've got two I've got two other
cameras there at the at the lake shop
[18:52] that are that go to the phone as well.
So I at either location I know when
[18:56] there's somebody messing around because
I will I will get their hide
[19:00] » and half the cameras you can't tell who
it was anyway. You can just see someone
[19:03] did it. We may just have to have like an
officer go out there multiple times a
[19:07] night which they should be probably
doing anyway.
[19:10] » Well deal is you got to unlock that gate
and drive drive down in there. I mean we
[19:14] can do that but
>> and Wayland has been going down there
[19:18] and driving.
It's hard. It's hard to catch them at
[19:22] It's hard to catch them at night time,
especially Especially during the week.
[19:26] Uh, and I think I think they're going
more out there on the weekend when
[19:31] there's nobody there.
>> Can you still get in from the backside?
[19:35] » You walk in? Yeah.
[19:39] » I can't
get in from the back.
[19:44] » It's too far to walk. Can't drive. Tip
over them rock. They side by side don't
[19:48] make noise.
>> I mean, the best thing to do would be go
[19:51] out there and and I can do it. Don't
they hurt my feelings to shock the crap
[19:57] out of them, but uh I sit out there one
night.
[20:04] » I mean, we have a whole police
department. They could someone can be
[20:08] designated to that area more than
>> they have,
[20:12] » especially on the weekend. So, we've
never had a problem down there until
[20:16] until now that we've got
>> So, this this system does not require
[20:23] internet to work
>> the pump.
[20:25] » No, the the all this automated robotic.
[20:32] » It's all manual start.
>> Okay.
[20:35] » So, for us for us to physically
the water plant won't know nothing about
[20:41] the water levels. I mean
via satellite or nothing like that.
[20:46] » No. Okay.
>> Okay.
[20:49] » It will be skated prescription.
>> It will be skated.
[20:52] » Yeah.
[20:56] » But Wayland does that anyways. Whan
sends me a report of what the water
[21:01] levels are and where we're sitting and
if we're getting low and then get with
[21:07] the water plant.
>> Right. Right now we're about 38 and a
[21:10] half. So, can we make sure our police
department is going out there more
[21:14] frequently and checking it and actually
[21:20] » I don't know that they have a key to the
gate. So,
[21:23] » you need to get a key to that gate.
>> I mean, even if they just see activity,
[21:30] they're going to be more ly to go down
there.
[21:33] » They were smart. They cut the chain.
They closed the gate back.
[21:36] » Mhm.
>> They went in, they took the lock off of
[21:38] the guy's trailer. They stole $5,800
worth of stuff copper and then there was
[21:43] still there was a $2,100 generator in
there. $2,000 set of crimpers. Uh they
[21:48] even shut the trailer back. So it's like
they were coming back. Just never made
[21:52] it like they made scary.
>> So I wonder if we could even put a trail
[21:55] camera on the other side of the road
where they wouldn't even know it's
[21:58] watching the gate.
>> It would get the vehicle though.
[22:09] And that's trail cameras are what we
were going to try until we can figure
[22:13] out.
>> It's better than nothing.
[22:16] » I mean, at least we get a vehicle
description. We need to do that soon.
[22:21] » Unless they steal our cameras.
>> Well, if they're across the street,
[22:24] they're not going to be
>> What about What about the ones that's
[22:26] got the solar pan panel? Do they make do
how how accurate are those?
[22:33] » You're not going to be able to input
very much on it. They're going to see
[22:35] the camera
>> sticking out like phone.
[22:38] » Yeah.
>> If the signal is not there, it's not
[22:40] there.
[22:43] » There you got cameras that just take
pictures.
[22:46] » Are there cameras that just run off
batteries?
[22:48] » Yeah.
>> Yeah.
[22:49] » It's just an old trail, so you don't
need service. I mean,
[22:54] » and you can get and you can watch them
on your phone the whole time.
[22:58] » The trail camera.
>> Not Not unless you've got internet
[23:01] service.
>> Yeah, you have to have my boys do. We
[23:04] had
>> you. How's it connected? How does it
[23:06] connect to your phone?
>> You have a little CD, a little this
[23:09] thing, whatever.
>> It's got to have sales service. Yes, it
[23:12] does.
>> I'm going to argue to beg to differ
[23:13] because we had land 900 acres at Calvin
America. We had We had trail cams out
[23:18] there that run off batteries that had a
little SD card you poke in. Picture
[23:21] picture. You take it home, you look at
it.
[23:22] » Okay. Yeah. But it's not connected. You
can watch it live.
[23:26] » No. Okay.
>> But you can still look at it.
[23:28] » It's better than nothing to start with.
And we had that conversation to go get
[23:33] some truck cameras to start with.
So we can do that like this week
[23:41] tomorrow.
[23:45] That needs to be done fast
and then if the police will just start
[23:50] going out there
[23:58] since I'll ask one more question. going
to do it.
[24:00] » Since Rightwater Water has taken care of
the water plant,
[24:06] » will they go check will they go turn
this on and off or will they want Whan
[24:11] to do it or Mike or Brenda or Gary or I
mean
[24:17] will Rightwater take care of this deal
or do we need to
[24:21] designate someone to do it? Well, and I
will talk to Travis about that. And if
[24:26] he's not willing to do that, I would
designate a person
[24:31] from the city that will do that.
[24:36] » He's not here. So, is that all
>> back surgery?
[24:40] » Yeah.
[24:45] » But Bright Water went to tell you
that Viking has finished the clear wells
[24:51] at the water plant. There was low water
pressure in some areas on Saturday, but
[24:55] pressure should have been restored on
Sunday.
[24:58] And Saturday night at approximately
6:45, the water plant experienced
[25:02] turbidity issues.
There was a slug of maganese mag
[25:08] » maganese
>> maganesees which caused high turbidity.
[25:12] So there'll be a public notice that
we'll have to go out um from that the
[25:17] cleaning of that and start up that. So,
we'll be getting a public notice out
[25:22] from DEQ because we had to report that.
So, that's their report.
[25:27] » Do any staff reports?
>> Yeah. And I forgot to do the city, so
[25:30] I'll have them do it. Um, ODQ came to
the office to gather up the documents um
[25:36] for the water meter project, replacement
project. Um they reviewed those
[25:40] documents and determined that the city
of Holdenville has deter demonstrated
[25:45] accurate adequate technical managerial
and financial capability to meet the
[25:51] capacity development qualifications for
the DWSRF funding. Um
[25:58] we have been authorized to advertise and
that's going to happen in July. Correct.
[26:05] Oh, next week until July. We'll open
bids in July. So, next week we'll go out
[26:11] for bids for the AMR water meter
replacement project. Um,
[26:17] so we'll take bids for a month. We'll do
that next week. They'll end in July.
[26:23] We'll open those bids. Um, 10:30
tomorrow, the preconstruction meeting at
[26:29] the for the Tyson and DHS flow station.
[26:34] Hey, Ron, do you have yours?
uh
[26:40] staff report.
>> Yeah.
[26:42] » Uh yeah. So we started May off with uh
20 21 cases carried over from April. Uh
[26:48] many of those were issued citations or
abatements were performed
[26:53] uh in the first two weeks of May. Uh 34
new cases in May with only 13 of those
[26:58] closed. Um we left uh I left a few of
those pending due to the season. Um, we
[27:04] issued 35 citations in May versus 13 in
April. Uh, we've opened six new cases
[27:09] for June already and issued three
citations. We have approximately 24
[27:14] cases currently active from 2025 still.
These are condemned structures or uh
[27:19] dilapidated structures. Most
condemnations have slowed down until we
[27:23] can catch up. We've got a pretty big
stack to get through Matt and still
[27:26] here. Most uh orders to vacate are
coming up on June the 8th. Uh that's
[27:32] 9114A4 and5 for North No Utilities. I'm
going to see how that pans out. Uh many
[27:38] complaints are coming back in about 200
North Inkley. Um these I guess people
[27:44] are saying they're fed up. They've got
signatures on here. Um they're putting
[27:48] their name on there. I really don't want
to show them to everybody. I haven't
[27:50] wired them out. Um
few of them list stay on there that they
[27:55] don't really care. Who knows? But uh
something's got to be done. There's no
[27:58] action being taken over there. So, I've
got to do what I need to do to get it
[28:02] cleaned up. Um, I hope to get some
backing on that. Um, I've had couple of
[28:07] plumbing inspections and electrical
inspections, plumbing taps, things like
[28:10] that. Um, the trash cans that you see
around town and all these vacant lots
[28:16] and everything. If you guys see those,
this is for our department heads. If you
[28:19] guys see those trash cans, try to get a
get a count of them where they're at.
[28:23] Load them up. Take them somewhere uh to
the street bar or something. We get
[28:27] charged for those. They're not being
they're not being used in my truck. We
[28:30] get charged for every trash can that's
out there. I saw two two on if you lost
[28:34] earlier today. Um found another um
encampment today that I'll be dealing
[28:39] with first thing in the morning. Um
well tonight if they don't Yeah, they
[28:45] may burn something down tonight.
Uh like uh like Mark Hill said, the
[28:50] water transfer project uh is progressing
well. They're finishing up the
[28:54] electrical uh the next day or two. Um
hopefully by the end of the week we can
[28:58] do a test run like and then uh get it
online. So um basically that's it.
[29:08] » Can I ask a question?
>> Yes sir.
[29:11] » The north.
Did I misunderstand or did he not
[29:16] receive guidance from the council
uh the night he came to the council
[29:22] meeting to get with the planning and
zoning and see if he could get a change?
[29:27] » He was not told that he has to clean
everything up tomorrow. Was that was
[29:30] that my understanding?
>> My understanding was that that's what my
[29:34] understanding was too. But he decided
not to do that go that route. He decided
[29:37] to put it up for sale and then turn it
to an eye. So that's basically what
[29:42] happened. So, it's listed for 175,000
right now.
[29:45] » And the lady is interested in buying in
it and opening a car lot there. She's
[29:49] called, she's actually inquired about
it. She needs to get with the zoning and
[29:54] the varian
>> the planning and zoning board to get the
[29:58] zoning change, but she wanted it done
before she bought it.
[30:02] » Yeah.
>> Well, I thought we told Cameron it was
[30:04] going to be a variant change
>> zoning board.
[30:10] They're going to have to change it
because it's zoned,
[30:13] » but there's still they still have the
whole notice requirements that are
[30:16] supposed to be done. I mean, there's
still a whole process that they have to
[30:19] institute. It's not the city's
obligation to go do this for
[30:24] » the buyer needs to do all that.
>> Or the owner, current owner, one of the
[30:27] two. I mean,
[30:32] » and I think she was from Texas. I know
Tanya Weaver called me about that.
[30:38] So, guess isn't ready then.
[30:44] » Does she know she needs to do that?
>> I told Tanya.
[30:47] » Okay.
>> But and then Tanya said she wanted it
[30:53] done before she bought it.
>> She doesn't want to buy it and it not
[30:58] happen,
>> right?
[30:59] » Then she's stuck with the same problem
that we have now.
[31:02] » Well, if he wants to sell it, he'll get
it,
[31:04] » right?
>> Sound like it's on camera. But I think
[31:07] if you have I think I can't speak for
the planning and zoning, but I think if
[31:12] you had a business plan and it was to
sell
[31:16] cars that you can drive off and it was a
legitimate
[31:20] » license
>> licensed
[31:22] car lot that they would have a problem
with it. But you would have to ask is it
[31:28] 300 ft the people around there for 300.
may have to be given notice of the
[31:34] zoning board hearing, planning zoning
hearing. They have to be notice of the
[31:37] because the council's one that makes the
ultimate decision on it. So they'd have
[31:40] to be in the notice that those people
within 300 ft get it gives the notice
[31:45] date of the planning and zoning meeting
and of the city council meeting that'll
[31:49] be actually be voted on. So they have
the opportunity to show up and be heard.
[31:53] » So at this point, what could be if you
bought it tomorrow, what could you do
[31:57] with it?
>> Whatever it's listed for right now,
[32:02] I mean, that's what I'm asking. What
business? What would that be?
[32:05] » That would be gas station,
>> restaurant.
[32:08] » Okay. Restaurant.
Uh, little In and Out. But it wouldn't
[32:13] be a car lot or a salvage mode. And
that's my thing. And I really don't care
[32:16] what what anybody decides. I mean, I'm
I'm I'm for whatever, but um it's not a
[32:21] salvage yard. And that's what people are
complaining about here. And they're
[32:24] telling I can't do my job, you know. And
I really I like even though all the BS
[32:29] went around, I was trying to slow them
down. I really don't care. I mean,
[32:32] regardless, he's a good guy, you know,
but he's got a salvage yard there that
[32:36] needs to be cleaned up, you know, and
people are complaining about it. So, and
[32:40] they're telling me that I can't do my
job. So, I mean, I need some direction
[32:44] here because I think I need to do my
job, you know. I've been I've been
[32:48] laying off of it, laying off of it, and
just trying to back up because it's
[32:51] pissing everybody off. But honestly,
I've got a job I got to do. So, I mean,
[32:56] I hope I get some support on it because
I'm going to do it regarding
[33:04] put my name on it.
>> Is that all wrong?
[33:10] » Thank you. Do you have fire report?
>> Uh, no, not too much.
[33:17] Fourth July is coming up. The fireworks
are all ordered. We got the new
[33:21] electronics in for the fireworks that we
own now. Uh,
[33:26] that's about it. Been doing inventory.
Y'all wouldn't believe how much
[33:30] inventory is in our station.
>> Do we have
[33:34] most of the money? Do we need do we got
a goal we need to set to make public
[33:41] for the purchase? Jack, you can't hear
that.
[33:45] » How much more money do we need?
>> How much money do we need
[33:48] » to pay for?
>> About 16,000.
[33:53] » That's not what she wanted to hear.
>> Oh, I don't care. I'm just going to post
[33:56] it.
They didn't donate money like they did
[34:00] popsicle
[34:03] to pay for this this show coming up.
>> The show was 11,000. We had paid 4,000
[34:11] for electronics
cuz uh the place that we had that we
[34:17] went to that let us rent electronics for
$300
[34:22] went out of business and sold off
>> and we had no carryover money from the
[34:27] last firework display.
>> So, and I couldn't find anyone to lease
[34:31] out the electronics. So,
>> we shouldn't have that expense.
[34:36] » No, we got some
[34:45] I'm sorry. I know I'm not supposed to
talk, but I I'm going to put a bucket up
[34:49] at the car show and
action.
[34:53] » Thank you. Thank you.
>> Thank you.
[34:58] » Okay.
[35:04] on the cemetery side of it during uh
during our Memorial Day. We had a pretty
[35:09] good crowd out there and we had lots of
help putting out flags and lots of help
[35:13] picking them up. So, I want to thank the
the public and everybody else who uh
[35:18] partic participated to make that happen
at the cemetery. It means a lot for the
[35:23] uh
uh on the on the lake side of it. We had
[35:27] a pretty good uh Memorial Day weekend.
Um
[35:33] last weekend we did have the OP out uh
doing boat checks and you know when I
[35:40] when I talk about the safety of the
boats,
[35:44] you know, you're not going to hurt my
feelings. U you know why did one of the
[35:48] comments was is you know why didn't you
uh why didn't you tell me? I'm not going
[35:52] to tell you. Safety first. Uh, and I and
I and I preach it
[35:59] way more than probably what I should,
but maybe because I I don't know if I
[36:03] just care too much or or they just get
tired of hearing it. Uh, and then um
[36:11] and then Saturday we got the National
Guard. They're putting on a PT for uh
[36:17] out there at the lake starting at 8:00.
So, we're going to training. So, we're
[36:21] going to see who all
shows up and who survives.
[36:28] » You doing it?
>> I have learned about I learned about
[36:30] this this morning and so uh I've already
contacted EMS about having the EMS out
[36:36] there as well.
>> It's a public for the the public's
[36:40] welcome or
>> they want to come watch it. I I guess I
[36:43] mean it's a two-hour training.
>> So, it's the National Guard's actually
[36:46] doing it's not for the community.
>> Yeah. I mean, if you want to come out,
[36:50] » I don't
>> support them. I know we got the car show
[36:54] and everything else going on and uh
>> but that's what I mean. But on the on
[36:59] the leg side of it, I mean,
we got campers coming in and out and
[37:04] come come for the Fourth of July, you
know, I got every uh we got every all 53
[37:10] uh campsite uh reservated out for the
4th of July. So, we're doing pretty
[37:15] good. So, I just, you know, just just I
just want everybody to be safe and have
[37:19] fun.
>> How we do Memorial weekend?
[37:24] » Did we do revenue wise?
>> We did. Yeah. Yeah, we did. We did
[37:28] pretty good. We did pretty good on r on
rubber path side of it. Then on the city
[37:32] side of it,
[37:38] » are they patrolling the lake now?
>> Who's that? the PD cops have been after
[37:44] quite have been after quite a bit. I
know Saturday morning about 9 um
[37:51] we actually had a young man that was
unresponsive out there. Um
[37:56] he had a little bit too much uh top
drink, too much beer. Uh, and when we
[38:04] got the call in, we got over there and
when I got to him, he was it was cold as
[38:08] ice. So, then he started waking up and
and uh so I was uh uh everything went
[38:16] good. Get him in. He's doing good now.
But, you know, his friend just left him
[38:20] in his car to cook. Turn the heater turn
the heater on and left him.
[38:25] » Oh my goodness.
>> So, they left them in they left them in
[38:27] there to cook. So,
>> we got straight out.
[38:33] I know it's not something you want to
hear, but I mean it's
[38:36] » there have been several complaints about
a bunch of miners are going out there
[38:41] quite a bit on the weekend.
[38:55] » Michael, do you have anything for the
street?
[38:58] We just been brush hauling and fixing
stuff.
[39:02] » I have a question.
>> Is there a reason that Larry doesn't
[39:07] come supervisor?
>> Uh Larry said today he was sick.
[39:13] » Sick last council meeting
>> the blood pressure.
[39:16] » He's sick. I don't mean you know that
>> it's a responsibility I feel like to
[39:21] show up.
>> We didn't get a new brush on did we Mike
[39:24] from surplus?
>> Yeah.
[39:27] We got to go I think tomorrow the
the spline difference are different one
[39:35] we got a big one and one that we got a
little one.
[39:42] Yeah, the one we fixed on was that one.
It's when you raise wings up, it's all
[39:48] rusted out all
[40:04] » I will say that they are getting those
reads done
[40:08] » early.
Um,
[40:12] so they they've been doing a good job of
getting those read, get them in
[40:17] when we've asked them to get them in by
deadline so that we can get the water.
[40:22] » Yeah. So, I appreciate them doing that.
[40:42] Last question.
>> Sure.
[40:47] » First question. You said that the what
we ran into years ago requiring city
[40:53] employees to come to these meetings and
we had to pay them overtime for that.
[40:57] » Yeah.
So, if you're going to require them to
[40:59] be here, you're going to have to find
the budget to pay them. And that's
[41:03] that's a law. That's that's the right
thing to do. And then there was a
[41:10] the mother's club. I'm going to call it
the mother's club. I don't know. They
[41:14] they call it something else now, but
they had some money that they wanted to
[41:18] buy mulch for the park,
>> right?
[41:20] » And were we able to do that for them?
>> We
[41:25] » So, they had the money. They wanted to
hand it to the city and say, "Would you
[41:29] buy the mulch for us and use your tax
money because you're going to be able to
[41:32] buy more money more mulch than we can?"
>> Yes. And they want But the problem with
[41:38] um they were buy wanting to buy the um
the wood shavings and we can't use that.
[41:46] » Use rubber.
>> Rubber.
[41:48] » That's what we did. That's what
>> Are you talking about ESA?
[41:51] » Yeah. Um, so I have been speaking with
her and I did tell her after the council
[41:55] meeting I'm going to be digging into it
this week and trying to see um about the
[41:59] best estimates because she did give me
um a specific number that they said that
[42:04] they can donate for us. So um I'll be
looking into that tomorrow actually and
[42:10] getting back with her
>> other groups.
[42:12] » Yeah. So
I'll be getting back. We talked about
[42:16] getting the rubber
>> so we're looking for those. They were
[42:20] they were concerned they weren't going
to get it done in time. They wanted to
[42:22] do it for the the dedication to the
>> Veterans Creek.
[42:27] » So, okay. Thank you.
[42:40] » Yeah, we were going to do them last
week, but we had to do the insure
[42:44] Oklahoma, which we got approved. We
haven't finished everybody, but we have
[42:49] to get that done to get everybody in the
system. And I think we have six or seven
[42:54] that from the city who have been
approved. So, she's going to work on
[42:58] that the end of this week.
[43:02] Anything else? Good. This meeting is a
journ.
[43:14] calls to order the Homeville Industrial
Authority meeting for June 2nd, 2026.
[43:19] Roll call, please.
>> Tammy White
[43:22] » here.
>> Mike Dockery
[43:23] » here.
>> Ron Thatford
[43:24] » here.
>> Don
[43:26] » here.
>> And Lori Bab
[43:27] » here.
Any motion or discussion for the consent
[43:31] agenda?
[43:41] » I'll second.
>> Roll call, please. Don Marman,
[43:44] » yes.
>> Tammy White,
[43:45] » yes.
>> Ron Thatford,
[43:47] » yes.
>> Mike Dockery,
[43:48] » yes.
>> Lorie B,
[43:49] » yes. Motion pass.
>> Discussion of the Holville Central Medal
[43:54] finishing claim.
Um, you should have had a letter in your
[43:59] packet right here.
[44:08] There's this one.
[44:14] from OMAG.
[44:23] » And Ron, I don't know if you want to add
something to this.
[44:27] » Yeah, I can talk about it. So, OMAG has
been fighting us on the on the roof out
[44:32] there at CMS.
So, um, we did some research and I got a
[44:38] hold of Donnie Mo, who did the very
first, uh, claim inspection on the book.
[44:43] And what Donnie said was that he turned
in a claim for the amount of $1.4
[44:48] million to hold and when he did that,
they fired him and that they quit using
[44:53] the company because of the amount of it.
So I reached out to TOPS which is the
[44:59] Oklahoma purchasing system and they
reached out I think back to Teresa and
[45:04] if we go through TOPS we don't have to
put this up for bid or anything but we
[45:07] need a consultant to represent us. So we
have a guy named Josh Road secondary
[45:11] road so he's willing to he's willing to
represent us. Now this this roof claim
[45:15] is going to be come in in the amount of
about $14 million and he wants 12% to
[45:21] consult for but he doesn't give anything
unless we so what he wants is 12% of the
[45:28] overall cost of the construction
$1.4 $4 million worth that's about
[45:33] $160,000 something like that Russell. Um
that's just that's enough. That's
[45:39] peanuts compared to what that was cost.
I mean we've got to get it fixed. We've
[45:42] got a business out here and we've got
other industrial buildings here in town
[45:45] that are leaking at Brooks too. One of
them is SPM. It's been leaking for years
[45:50] and I just found out during my last
session. No one has called us or
[45:55] anything that I know of but it's pouring
water in common ground. Um, we're going
[46:00] to need to we're going to need this guy
to help us and we may have to get with
[46:04] Matt later on down the road. Uh, this
guy Topps Topps is saying, "Hey, this is
[46:08] the guy to use and he's got a great
record with OMAG. He gets your real
[46:13] stick fixed. He gets this stuff taken
care of." But, I mean, later on we might
[46:17] have to go we might have to get with
Matt and and go with an attorney that he
[46:21] knows or somebody like Kevin Hill, you
know, uh, somebody who's a construction
[46:26] attorney. I mean, who knows? But this
guy, he's willing to put his neck out
[46:30] there, eat all the cost, and just 12% of
whatever the construction cost is
[46:36] taking. So, I mean, that's what he's
he's wanting to do. Uh I mean, I think
[46:42] it's a good idea. It's up to you guys. I
mean, we've got to do something that's
[46:45] real thick. Pouring water in it every
time that rains. I mean, it's not a
[46:48] little bit of water. It's pouring water
in. It's ruining our building. It's
[46:52] ruining the the structure. It's ruining
all the structural uh stuff in the
[46:57] ceiling, everything. all the beans, all
that just getting beat up. So, I mean,
[47:01] we've got a $4 million building there
that's basically worthless if we don't
[47:04] do something.
We we really need I mean, in my opinion,
[47:08] we really need to do something now.
[47:13] » And they can't have rain water.
>> No. And it's in the paint room
[47:18] everywhere. And it's just getting worse.
It's getting bigger. It was confined to
[47:22] one room. Now, it's three different
three different rooms. So, it's just
[47:26] spreading. getting bigger and bigger. I
mean, that SPF on that roof, I mean, the
[47:30] lack of maintenance over the years, the
lack of care, there was none. There was
[47:34] no care. The the drains weren't kept
clear, anything like that. I mean, the
[47:38] hell damage he in his in his uh
inspection, he's got one to one and a
[47:44] half inch damage, hell damage. You've
got the collateral damage on your air
[47:46] conditioning units and everything else
showing that we have that damage. Plus,
[47:50] we have ordinance of law in our claims,
in our insurance, we we have ordinance
[47:54] of law. So anything that we do has to be
brought up to code and they have to pay
[47:58] for it fire our policy. So this guy's
got pretty much a 100% record of getting
[48:05] the job done. So but it's whatever we
decide to do, we got to do something
[48:10] pretty quick.
>> You have an opinion on that, man?
[48:15] I don't know anything about this Joshua
Rhodess guy personally, but I'm just
[48:20] sitting there reading that letter from
OMAG talking about trying to grant or if
[48:24] you um try to grant a third party an
interest in your claim or control of
[48:28] your claim, it can result in OMAG
suspending any obligation to pay for
[48:35] future u parts of the claim. So, I'd
have to look at that to see if that
[48:40] clause and that if that is part of the
policy is enforceable. Um, I have spoken
[48:45] with a different attorney about um if it
comes to a lawsuit that he and I would
[48:52] do it together if we actually had to
file a lawsuit. The the other issue with
[48:57] it is that it might be some statutory
caps against OMAG since they're kind of
[49:02] a different
stated DMO. So, um,
[49:09] » so there are some things that some
roadblocks there that we I've been
[49:12] exploring, trying to see what we're
going to do. But I'd be interested to
[49:16] hear from that Josh Rhodess guy to see
exactly what it is. But, I mean, that's
[49:20] I don't know if he's an attorney or if
he's just a
[49:22] » No, he's just a consultant. That's what
he is. He's a consultant. That's what he
[49:26] is. He's in RCI. Everybody's heard of IP
and he's just a certified consultant for
[49:34] real construction. basically is pretty
much like an engineer. The the problem
[49:39] that I would see with that potentially
is if you have a guy that's essentially
[49:43] taken what do you say 12% 10% whatever
it is
[49:48] » I mean you're running out and and he's
not even the one to so let's say that he
[49:53] doesn't get it done then you have to
hire attorneys to do it that are going
[49:57] to say well we want a percentage of this
and so then city's left with by the time
[50:02] that's all said less than 50% 50%
attorneys are going to take 30 40%.
[50:09] So,
got to be
[50:14] I I'd like to see exactly what service.
So, I talked to him personally about
[50:18] what service that he offers to see if
that's
[50:21] feasible.
[50:25] » It sounds like to me if they don't want
a third party involved, if they're
[50:29] saying they won't pay, that sounds like
that they just they're not wanting to
[50:33] pay and that's giving them an excuse to
not pay.
[50:36] » Yeah.
remind you.
[50:40] » Exactly.
>> Yes. And so that's I mean it's a bad
[50:42] paid claim is what what I was wanting to
file on them is is to file a bad pay
[50:47] against they're refusing to pay for
something they should but again there's
[50:51] paper offices going forward.
>> Yeah. But two where we going to come for
[50:56] $1.4 million to fix that roof. That's
has Jim looked at been up there and
[51:01] looked at a temporary patch.
Oh, it's it's that foam.
[51:09] » Yeah, there's no
there's no there's no patching. I mean,
[51:13] you've got there's no patch.
>> I think we had a guy come to a meeting
[51:17] one time, one of these meetings that
talked to us about it when he got up
[51:20] there and was talking about the patching
situation. It's been a while back, but
[51:24] » it's been patched. It's been patched.
Where they patched it,
[51:27] » it's worse than I don't know. That's
like all the water just kind of came in
[51:33] where the patch was and just infiltrated
still back to where where were the you
[51:38] can you can get up on top of it. We take
a ladder out there. You can climb over
[51:41] there and walk around on it. There's
holes big enough to fall.
[51:47] » Well, my concern is we've got a got a
business in town.
[51:53] Sometime they had over 50 people
>> 62 right now
[51:56] » and they're expand
[52:01] I feel like we need to
>> I agree
[52:04] » take some action of some type
even if it's wrong
[52:11] » not wait on an attorney because they're
slow
[52:16] » be washed away
I don't I mean I don't I don't have
[52:21] enough information on the roads guy to
make a recommendation on him. But I
[52:25] mean, at the end of the day, I also
don't know what
[52:30] what teeth he has because if we if he
says, "Yeah, here's all I'm consulting
[52:36] and I say this is the problem. This is
what it costs. This is he basically lays
[52:40] out the lawsuit for someone,
but he doesn't have the ability to go
[52:44] prosecute the lawsuit." If that makes
sense. So, at the end of the day, if
[52:48] they say, "Sorry, Mr. Rose,
you know, sticker with Sun don't shine.
[52:54] What's he going to do? Say I tried.
>> Well, then he don't get paid.
[52:59] » But what if he gets paid after the
lawyers go and settle it then? Does he
[53:02] get paid and we use his stuff? I mean,
that's that's that's where that kind of
[53:06] gets a little
dicing.
[53:10] » You got the number of the blue tarp
roofing?
[53:13] » No.
[53:17] » Oh. Oh. Now listen, now I get it. Just
gonna write that down.
[53:25] Oh,
[53:30] » do you want to put it back on after you
had time like on the 16th or something
[53:35] to
>> Yeah, I'll have to I mean, like I said,
[53:37] I don't know this guy. don't see any of
this stuff before, but
[53:44] I'd like to see exactly what he's about
before and see what a normal process
[53:48] with him looks like. I mean, I see here
claim consultant, document review, claim
[53:53] file and records review. I mean, I can
see the stuff, but again, that's just
[53:57] building a file. It's not enforcing it.
So,
[54:04] » okay. So, you you'll investigate
Yeah, I can talk
[54:11] » number.
[54:22] » Any staff report? Nope.
This meeting is a journ.
[54:45] We got that for you today.
>> All right, Mr. Doctor, I got a question.
[54:52] » I had a game cam. I took it over to I
hooked it up to my cell phone. I took it
[54:58] over to Clinton's house when I was
watching Clinton.
[55:02] No internet on there, but it worked to
my phone. I could watch my phone
[55:07] » that doesn't make it
>> and
[55:11] » cuz there's no way it could communicate.
>> There's no way.
[55:18] » It could have been working off,
>> but I didn't.
[55:25] » I don't know how it worked. I mean, I
could see it working Bluetooth, but you
[55:28] you couldn't do it from your house.
You could do it there. Friday.
[55:58] » So I emailed you.
willing to ask me about it and make sure
[56:04] and we're able to get through all that
and get
[56:10] it
worked with this person. They paid us
[56:13] $55 and we have no tech that amount to
pay us but we received the check.
[56:22] So then we got a call and so I was
digging and they did the one that sent
[56:27] you that
>> they did email him and ask him for a
[56:30] bunch of different stuff but I just
didn't
[56:41] know he did until his house got
[56:46] he
got because there's no other way
