Lawton City Council Minutes

May 18, 2004

The Lawton City Council met in special session on Tuesday, May 18, 2004, at the Lawton City Clerk’s office. Council members answering roll: Don Grigg, Perry Ludwig, Terry Masching, Tony Bengford and Rick Schorg. Also present: Lowell Anderson, Patricia Washburn, Glenn Metcalf, Chris Aakhus, Steve King, Larry Aakhus, Jerry Steffen and Mark Vos. Mayor Jeff Nitzschke called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m.

Purpose of the meeting was to hear and discuss West Creek Development proposal for lift station. Discussion included updating current lift station so it could also provide for the new development, or should the new development provide its own new, smaller version for the project. Dollar figures were not provided to Council for consideration. Current lift station was installed in 1988, however is still in good shape.

After considerable discussion, Grigg made motion that Council decline opportunity to combine existing city lift station with West Creek Development lift station at this time. Motion seconded by Masching. Council does not see feasible benefit to the city to take on additional financial burden of upgrading existing structure. On roll, motion carried 5-0.

Mark Vos expressed concerns over low water pressure if the development were to tie into the main used by Pronto car wash. Several stated it would possibly help his pressure if there was a “loop” rather than a “dead end” as there is now.
