The Waco City Council this week took action to increase budgets for ongoing construction projects and to award a $13.6 million contract to build a transfer station in South Waco
The Norman City Council confirmed appointments for its Ward 2 candidate selection committee and discussed a potential collaboration with Oklahoma Cityâs Factory Obscura during its Tuesday meeting. Â
The formation of the Ward 2 committee follows the recent departure of OU Russian Studies professor Matt McGarry. McGarry previously won the Feb. 9 election with 51.32 percent of the vote but left his council position after receiving an invitation to join the faculty of a public Ivy League institution in Russian studies, according to the Norman Transcript.Â
The council withdrew an item from its March 23 agenda to vote on organizing a special Ward 2 election after the Cleveland County Election board determined a special election can only occur in September or November 2021.Â
