The Yukon City Council held a work session and meeting on June 2, 2026, focusing primarily on the city's water supply plan presented by Garver engineering representatives. The presentation detailed the current and projected water demand, potential supply gaps, and evaluated eight water supply alternatives including groundwater wells, non-potable reuse, direct potable reuse, and purchasing water from Oklahoma City. Capital cost estimates and phased implementation plans were discussed, emphasizing a diversified portfolio approach to mitigate supply risks. The council also addressed budget amendments reallocating funds within the hotel motel tax fund, capital improvement fund, and police department budget. Public comments overwhelmingly expressed concern about water scarcity, the proposed data center's impact on water resources, environmental and quality-of-life issues, and transparency in city decision-making. Several speakers urged the council to reconsider or halt the data center project due to water supply limitations and community opposition. The meeting included motions to approve minutes and budget amendments, with some discussion on correcting meeting records. No new contracts or vendor selections were reported, but the water supply plan and budget reallocations have significant implications for future procurement and capital projects.
