Yukon City Council Special Meeting - 11/10/2026 - 5:30PM

The Yukon City Council special meeting on November 10, 2026, elected Rick Cassini mayor by a 3–2 vote and Zach Castle vice mayor unanimously. Council approved an $18,876.07 Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation grant to the Yukon Police Department for ten ZOLL AED 3 automated external defibrillators and accessories, along with budget amendment 2027-13. It also approved an ordinance clarifying that the city manager or designee may approve claims and invoices under $50,000, with claims still reported to council and budget amendments or fund transfers still requiring council approval. The council passed the ordinance’s emergency clause to allow delayed vendor payments to proceed sooner; officials said the spending was already budgeted and the $50,000 threshold was unchanged.

Council approved agreements with O’Reilly Automotive and the Yukon Chamber of Commerce relating to installation and maintenance of a donated Miller Man statue. The city will handle the foundation and landscaping and maintain the surrounding area; the foundation cost was still being evaluated, with potential support from hotel-motel tax or general-fund public-art funds, and staff said concrete work might be done in-house. No contract award or final project cost was identified. Council also discussed a proposed rezoning and planned-unit development for property at 15960 West Highway 66; residents raised concerns about heavy-industrial zoning and nearby homes, and the item was scheduled for further council consideration on November 17.
