Stillwater City Council, SUA, and SEDA 10/19/2026

The Stillwater City Council, Stillwater Utilities Authority (SUA), and Stillwater Economic Development Authority (SEDA) met on October 19, 2026. The main procurement- and infrastructure-related action was the council’s consideration of four resolutions of necessity, CC-2026-31 through CC-2026-34, to acquire property for the northeast pressure zone water line. The city attorney said the city had pursued good-faith negotiations and would use condemnation only as a last resort if an agreement could not be reached. Resolutions CC-2026-32, CC-2026-33, and CC-2026-34 were explicitly recorded as adopted by 5-0 votes; the transcript does not clearly capture the disposition of CC-2026-31.

Friends of Lake McMurtry reported $430,827 in revenue for fiscal year 2025–26 and described its operating partnership with the city, recreational programs, and plans to care for the lake; no related contract award or spending authorization was presented. The council approved the consent docket 5-0 except for item I, which was removed and deferred. The SUA and SEDA consent dockets were also approved, with no specific procurement actions described. The city announced a temporary switch to chlorine for routine water-system maintenance from November 9, 2026, through January 11, 2027; no vendor or purchase was identified.
