🏛️ OWASSO CITY COUNCIL MEETING PREVIEW
Tuesday, November 17, 2026 | 6:00 PM
📍 Old Central Building, 109 N. Birch Street
The Owasso City Council has several items scheduled for consideration Tuesday evening, including a proposed automotive repair business, the city’s 2027 street rehabilitation projects, industrial wastewater rates, and funding for fire department equipment.
Here’s a look at what’s on the agenda:
🚗 PROPOSED FIRESTONE COMPLETE AUTO CARE
Council members will consider a Specific Use Permit for a proposed Firestone Complete Auto Care facility at 116th Street North and North 129th East Avenue.
The approximately one-acre property is zoned Commercial Shopping, but the proposed automotive repair and maintenance business requires additional city approval.
The proposal includes a seven-bay service facility. Because the property borders a residential neighborhood, concerns have been raised about noise, operating hours, screening, and the proximity of the business to nearby homes.
The applicant has proposed additional landscaping and screening measures, and the Planning Commission previously recommended approval.
🛣️ 2027 STREET REHABILITATION PROGRAM
Council members will consider proposed street improvement priorities for 2027, with $2 million in available funding.
Major proposed projects include:
• Highway 169 East Service Road, from 76th Street North to 86th Street North
• Highway 169 West Service Road, from 76th Street North to 86th Street North
• East Broadway, between Main Street and Birch Street
Additional preventative maintenance projects are proposed in the Lake Ridge neighborhood and along portions of 6th, 7th, 9th, and 11th Streets, Cedar Avenue, and other locations.
🚒 FIRE DEPARTMENT EQUIPMENT
The Council will consider adding replacement self-contained breathing apparatus, cylinders, and related accessories to the list of projects eligible for Capital Improvement Fund financing.
These devices provide firefighters with breathable air while working in dangerous environments.
💧 INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER RATES
Proposed changes to the city’s sewer ordinance and industrial wastewater surcharge rates are also scheduled for consideration.
The changes would update how industries are charged for wastewater that requires additional treatment, with a phased rate increase proposed to begin January 1, 2027.
The changes specifically address industrial wastewater and are not presented as a general residential sewer rate increase.
💊 OPIOID SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
Council members will consider participating in an additional national opioid settlement involving Albertsons Companies.
The agreement is part of ongoing litigation against opioid manufacturers and distributors. Funds received by the city would be restricted to approved opioid-related prevention, treatment, recovery, and education purposes.
🚜 SURPLUS CITY EQUIPMENT
The Council will consider declaring several older pieces of city equipment surplus so they can be sold through an online auction.
Items include commercial mowers, utility vehicles, a wood chipper, a sprayer, an aerifier, and other equipment that has been replaced or is no longer needed.
📋 OTHER BUSINESS
Additional agenda items include approval of previous meeting minutes, city expenditures, an internet crimes task force grant for the Owasso Police Department, and a city employee retirement request.
All proposed actions remain subject to City Council consideration and approval.
