McPherson additionally commented they recently picked up the Drake Rice Customer Service Award from the Municipal Electrical Systems of Oklahoma for past city clerk, Betty Mackey. That's why they returned it with a denial.' 'Nothing will happen with this one, it's already there, it's already existing, but future decisions, they don't want to be a precedent. 'They don't want to set a precedent for allowing houses to be accessed by the ally,' he said. McPherson then updated the board with a decision made by the Planning and Zoning Commission to deny a variance request by Jay Head, owner of Southwest Oklahoma Home Buyers, for a lot split of the property. 'We're talking about car wrecks, intentional and unintentional fires, etc.'įollowing the approval of the ordinance, the board approved a services agreement between Fire Recovery USA, LLC, and the City of Marlow and Marlow Fire Department to provide insurance revenue from emergency calls. McPherson said if the council is interested, he would see this going to the EMS account and funding supplies for the fire department. McPherson said insurance companies set aside money for emergency services calls and this would 'reimburse the agency that responds.'Īccording to McPherson, a portion of the money set aside would go to Fire Recovery USA, LLC and Marlow Fire Department. Next, the city board opened discussion about Ordinance 454 to establish and implement a program to charge mitigation rates for the deployment of emergency and non-emergency services by the fire department. The board approved the use of funds for the mural project. Other options were also provided, which included having students help with the project, as well as additions to the mural. 'The first part of this, he's got an individual from Lawton, a professional, that would come in and paint,' Prater said. Mayor Jeff Prater said he was contacted by Arlyn Brantley about doing the mural to tie in more of Marlow's history and heritage to the town.Īccording to Prater, they are still open to ideas.

This would be a joint project with the Marlow Chamber of Commerce's beautification committee and the Marlow Public Schools art department. The city board approved moving forward with the Wall of Honor at the Senior Nutrition Center in Marlow.Ĭouncilors then discussed the use of $3,000 from the Tax Revenue Capital Projects fund for a mural project at the 100 block of S. McDonald offered a few suggestions to the board, from painting, putting up a banner or board and said they have photographs of those who have attended, present and past, as well as albums of those who are deceased. According to McDonald, there would be no cost to work on the wall.
