Back to the Blog Mayors Congress

Good morning from snowy Guthrie, Oklahoma.

Well it has been some time since my last posting as I have been extremely busy with my function of my job and various dealings with the City of Guthrie. Two weeks ago the Mayor and I were honored to attend the Mayors Congress to represent the City of Guthrie and other cities across Oklahoma on the floor of the House of Representatives at the State Capitol. The event was a huge success and I believe a very important stepping stone for municipalities across this great State. I was honored to be able to author a Bill for review and consideration dealing with transportation and infrastructure issues plaguing cities across Oklahoma. I believe we made a great leap forward for the voice of cities like ours to be heard. Our bill was the only one to pass the receiving zero amendments on the floor and unanimous approval from the floor a great honor for our City and our committee. Thanks to all that participated in the event I believe we truly are making history and forging new ground for all cities within the State of Oklahoma.

In addition I would like to thank our amazing staff and crews with the City in dealing with the snow in our great community. All of you are to be commended for the effort put forth, our streets are in great condition all things considered. Thank you for all you do I appreciate your hard work and dedication for making our community great.

Tuesday May 19th, 2009 Council Meeting

Good morning, 

The Guthrie City Council held it's second full meeting with the new council members this week and the agenda was quite short as most of the items were  under consent agenda and approvals of claims. I have stated on other post here that you as citizens have the ability to download these agendas to view what makes up the council packets and see where your money is going. Again when I came on board as councilman this was my way of making sure the general public had access to the City for review. 

I would like to also take a moment to thank Lynn Colorio for putting together the First Annual- EAST TOWNSHIP BAZAAR. It is the intention to make this an annual event and I look forward to next year.

Don't forget that the movie The Killer Inside Me is currently shooting on the West side of the town and traffic will be disrupted during the days as movie production is occurring. 

Let me know if you have thoughts or suggestions that are on your mind. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Cordially

A New Year

Its been a while since my last post and things are proceeding on schedule with several projects that the City has been working on. The City council moved forward on the approval of the construction of the  new water treatment plant at the end of December, that will provide service for many years to come and supply the demands of our growing community. If you have not noticed the new construction of the Holiday Inn Express is underway and will provide some much needed hotel space for the City for our many events and general visitors to Guthrie. In addition to the hotel the Taco Bell is almost complete and ready to go into operation. Again I am excited to see our community continue to be in a growth pattern when things are tight across the country our City continues to shine through. 

I would also like to thank the people that I run into across this community that have showed me support of my actions on behalf of the City. I am proud to serve you and to be your voice within our City and our community. Again thank you for the great opportunity to be your representative and I am humbled and grateful for serving this role on your behalf.

Sincerely,

Trey  

October 8th, 2008

Good morning Guthrie, again I hope all is well. The Guthrie City Council held its first meeting in October last night with little fanfare. The agenda consisted of standard business as usual items as we move into the first month of the new budget for the 2008-2009 year. Make sure to visit the City of Guthrie website where you can download last nights packet and view the entire city council meeting that was televised.

Last weekend was a wonderful spotlight on the city with the various events that were occurring simultaneously throughout the City. I had a chance to visit the Bluegrass festival for the first time. I also got a chance to roam around downtown during the Art and Wine Festival and the Toys for Big Boys and Girls. All the events were as usual well received and the weather was perfect for the events. I would like to thank the Mayor for his hard work and dedication to the Bluegrass festival he and all the volunteers make that event something really special.

Once again let me say thank you being able to represent our great community. I look for forward to your comments and suggestions.

August 19th, 2008 City Council Update

Good morning, from my office in Guthrie, Oklahoma. The City council met once again last night and the agenda held was pretty standard business items dealing with renewals of health and dental for city employees etc.. Also the award for the waste water treatment plant chemicals was awarded last night as part of the Guthrie Public Works Authority Meeting held as well, during our session. I would like to make note that Betsy Randolph was re-appointed to the Forestry Board and Amanda Fortney was appointed to the Library Board. I know both of these women and they are both great individuals and we as a community are lucky to have them serving on our behalf, and for our community. The City received its audited financials for last year this week and they have been finalized. I have made a request that the final audit report be posted to the City of Guthrie's Website for easy access and review. If not posted today it should be posted by the end of this week. Once again this request is in order to make sure that the City remains transparent and that its citizens have easy access to this type of information. again you if you would like to review last nights agenda it can be found at this link http://www.cityofguthrie.com/Council/Agendas.html . The City website will also replay the Council meeting, as well as Chanel 20 for Cox Cable subscribers.

One quick note, today starts the first day of School for Guthrie. Please be careful today and the coming weeks traveling within posted school zones and around town, as we get used to the kids being back in motion. I know the police department will be working hard to control speeds in and around our local schools and neighborhoods.

Thank you for the opportunity to serve this great community.

Cheers,

Trey
