Ardmore tourism board considers budget, contracts; city commission to discuss interim manager
The Ardmore Tourism Authority met June 25 but minutes have not yet been published; items on the agenda included a proposed FY 2027 budget, a $108,000 administrative services agreement with the Ardmore Chamber of Commerce, and a $46,800 marketing contract with Hallpass Digital. The board also heard updates from the Chickasaw Country Marketing Association and reports on Regional Park, Hardy Murphy Coliseum, and The Goddard Center.
City Commission to consider landfill agreement, interim manager
The Ardmore City Commission will meet Monday, July 6, at 5:30 p.m. to vote on a five-year solid waste disposal agreement with Southern Oklahoma Regional Disposal and renew multiple IT contracts. A minor subdivision plat for four lots in the 700 block of 3rd Avenue SE (High Point Addition Phase II) is also on the consent agenda.
IT contract renewals include Laserfiche ($15,750.61), DigiTicket ($39,571.19), UKG time system ($42,013.66), and CityWorks/GIS hosting ($59,400.00). The commission will also consider appointments to the Hardy Murphy Coliseum Trust, Main Street Authority, and Planning Commission.
After the consent agenda, the commission will enter executive session to discuss hiring an interim city manager. Possible action could follow the closed session.
Public Works Authority to ratify contracts
The Ardmore Public Works Authority will meet immediately after the city commission Monday to ratify two items already approved by the commission: a $59,400 annual hosting services contract with NewEdge Services for City Works & GIS applications (of which the APWA will pay $31,900 and the city will pay $27,500), and the same five-year solid waste disposal agreement with Southern Oklahoma Regional Disposal. The meeting is expected to be routine with no non-consent items.
