5. City Manager's Report

•

City Manager JD Hock- Mayor Childers had an awesome ride along with the Del
City Police Department. Those guys are very appreciated. The GO Bond passed, so
we are looking into all the information needed to move forward. The outdoor
warning system will be prioritized if possible. Thank you so much to the voters.
Eagle Harbor finished a fantastic season. Thank you to everyone that came out, we
had a lot of people visit this season. The DEQ MS4 evaluation and audit and our
Stormwater Administrator Chris Duroy did a phenomenal job. The Study Session
went over issues, processes and ideas with Code Enforcement. Please go through
website to report all complaints. The OML Conference will be 9/16/26-9/18/26 and
City Manager Hock and Councilman Browne will be attending that.
Councilwoman Finch confirmed that complaints filed should not expect call backs
or responses. Once information is received, the process begins but contact back is
not a part of it.
Councilman Dean clarified what the process looks like and what to expect.
Ron McCall 3403 S. Wofford - asked for clarification on Code Process.

Departmental Reports:
•

Communications Specialist Tracy VanHorn- there have been 6 water main breaks in
the past week. The drought conditions are causing them, and we will have another
rush of breaks when there is an influx of rain. The best # to call to report these water
line breaks is 405-671-3007 for Emergency Water Line. Streets has also been very

busy because they have to go back and fix the roads and curbs when the water lines
job is complete. Big thank you to streets as well. Councilwoman Browne asked if we
should do a survey to know where to focus on. VanHorn said we have done this and
have a list that they work with, it’s just an expensive list. We are looking for grants
to help offset the costs.
Councilman Tatom asked if the concrete on the westside of Sunnylane is for the new
beacon and when it will be installed. Streets Supervisor Micah Unruh doesn’t have a
ship date yet.
