City of Pryor Creek - City Council Meeting - July 21, 2026
Published: Jul 21, 2026
Pryor City Council Approves $518,829 Graham Community Building Revitalization Project
The council discussed and approved the bid process and received bids for the Graham Community Building Revitalization Project. Scissor Tail Construction presented their process, highlighting their experience with historical building renovations. Method Group, contracted with Oklahoma Main Street, performed the building assessment and recommended Scissor Tail. The project budget is approximately $518,829. The lowest bids were mostly accepted, with Bean Plumbing selected over Plumco due to previous issues with change orders, despite being slightly higher bid [cite: 838-841, 845-858, 883-890, 907-918, 931-941]. Significant cost increases were noted for electrical upgrades ($100,000 over estimate) due to unforeseen code compliance needs and for flooring replacement with a concrete slab ($50,000 estimate) for structural integrity [cite: 944-947, 1125-1128, 1129-1132]. An additional contingency of $31,000 was added, bringing the total recommended funding from Fund 68 to $250,000 [cite: 1149-1150]. The council voted to approve the project and funding [cite: 1289-1300].
Prior City Council Approves Adding Stop Sign to South Elliott Curve Intersection Amidst Traffic Concerns
The council discussed and voted on a motion to add a stop sign to the northbound lane of the 29th Street and Elliott Street curve (South Elliott Curve) intersection. The goal is to improve safety and potentially mitigate traffic backup during rush hour, though the effectiveness is debated. The motion passed with a 4-2 vote, with Council Members Lamar, Shropshire, Brashears, and Smith voting 'Yes', and Council Members Bradshaw and Brown voting 'No'. Additional warning signs and potential social media notification were discussed. The intersection straddles city limits, with the north side within the city and the south side outside [cite: 1684-1691, 1695-1701, 1705-1710, 1711-1718, 1721-1727, 1733-1734, 1771-1772, 1777-1781, 1797-1798, 1809-1818, 1819-1832, 1836-1838, 1857-1861, 1944-1957, 1982-1995].
Bobby Buck Park Upgrades to Begin September, Old Structures to be Salvaged
An update was provided on the upgrades to Bobby Buck Park, with new equipment and playground installations planned to begin September 1st. Some older structures, like wooden elements and A-frame swing sets, will be salvaged and repurposed or upgraded due to their solid condition, while others will be removed to make space for new installations [cite: 1642-1654].
Prior City Council Denies RV Park Zoning Change Due to Floodplain, Comprehensive Plan Conflicts, and Resident Concerns
The council held a public hearing and voted on a zoning change request for James Derrick Palmer to rezone a 3.3280-acre tract from agricultural (AG) to commercial auto recreation (CAR) for an RV park. The property is located at 857 North Mill, Mays County, Oklahoma. A protest petition was filed, requiring a three-fourths majority vote. The council ultimately denied the request with all members voting 'No'. Several concerns were raised, including the property being in a floodplain, single entry/exit points, traffic impact, proximity to a school, potential for RVs to be used as living quarters (contrary to city code), undermining agricultural/residential character, visual nuisance, and conflict with the city's comprehensive plan. Representatives from ODOT, floodplain administrators, and FEMA were mentioned as relevant parties, though not all had been consulted by the applicant [cite: 153-164, 186-188, 194-230, 233-241, 256-282, 477-486, 490-494, 503-509, 510-518, 519-544, 550-648, 664-675].
Pryor City Council Approves $2,717 Expenditure for Vehicle Policy Updates
The council approved an expenditure of $2,717 to OMAG for changes to the 2025-2026 vehicle policy, to be paid from the General Insurance Fleet Account [cite: 1658]. The motion passed unanimously with all members voting 'Yes' [cite: 1664-1673].
