Development News from the latest meeting
City of Claremore City Council Meeting 7-6-26 6:00pm
Published: Jul 6, 2026
911 Contract Sees 3% Increase; Track Easements Discussed
During the consent items discussion, a question was raised about the 911 contract increase. It was confirmed that the contract did increase by 3%, which is described as an annual escalator. The last increase was some time ago. The council also discussed easements for tracks, with pictures provided in the packet. These easements are located in various places, including Lacrosse Avenue and Old Country Club Road, and are described as smaller, scattered throughout the town. They are often related to developers needing service lines to properties.
City Council Meeting Covers Fireworks Success, Storm Recovery, and Event Recaps
During the City Council meeting, discussions touched upon several operational and community events. The decision to move the fireworks display a week earlier was deemed successful. The lake department and rangers were commended for their efforts in mowing and maintaining areas despite heavy rain. The annual fishing derby was highlighted as a successful event for children and families. Significant storm damage occurred on Saturday night, with straight-line winds up to 80+ mph causing tree damage and power outages to several circuits; city crews worked overnight to restore power, and a crew was sent to assist Pryor. A railroad crossing (UP 66 crossing on UP line) was damaged by a wide load and will be repaired by Union Pacific, who will bill the responsible company.
Rigs Tree Service Awarded Hourly Contract After Prot Management Cancellation
The Public Works Authority discussed an hourly contract with Rigs Tree Service. A previous contract awarded to Prot Management was requested to be canceled because Prot Management could not find personnel with the correct certifications or sufficient staffing. The authority then contacted the second low bidder from the original bid, Rigs Tree Service, who agreed to honor their bid prices. The contract primarily covers a three-person crew at a normal hourly rate, with additional items like a 70-foot high reach bucket or tracked backyard machine available on an as-needed basis. These additional items were added to the contract this year.
McWart Trucking LLC Recommended for Hauling Contract
The Public Works Authority discussed awarding a hauling contract to McWart Trucking LLC. Initially, no bids were received, but after rebidding, three bids were submitted. McWart Trucking LLC was recommended as the best option based on their overall best prices, particularly the hourly rates which are most frequently used by the city. The contract is for 12 months, beginning July 7th, 2026. There was a brief discussion about why hourly rates are prioritized and the potential complexities of splitting contracts with different vendors for different pricing structures (hourly vs. per ton/mile).
