16. Discussion and possible action to approve the services agreement between Lighthouse
Services, LLC and the City of Yukon, to provide the City of Yukon with an Ethics Hotline
A motion to table this item, was made by Council Member Zimmerman and seconded by
Council Member Wootton.
Council Member Selby advised that we had this in the past and it was just people tattling on
others. The morale that this creates among our employees is horrible, it costs money, and who
would be monitoring this system. Council Member Zimmerman likes this because the
employee could leave their information, and the company would not give this to the
employer. Mayor Pillmore advised that the company can assign different investigators to the
complaints. Council Member Selby said her concern is that Council does not have the ability
to look at staff per the Charter. Mr. Castro wanted clarification on who this is directed
towards. Mayor Pillmore believes this number should be publicized for everybody in the City.
Mr. Castro shared his experience with ethics hotlines. He was spending more than 10 hours a
week investigating hotline complaints. Mayor Pillmore believes that everybody needs to have
a voice and know there are no repercussions. Council Member Selby wants people to feel
safe that they can go to work and not fear they are going to get reported for making
somebody mad. Mr. Castro would like to deal with issues found and urges Council to pump
the brakes, hand this back to the staff, and retain the City Manager form of Government.
Mayor Pillmore advised this is a one- year agreement that will cost around $ 3, 000. This is a tool
and can be broken down into certain groups.
James Powell, 958 Dover Mansion, wanted to know if each ethics call had a fee or how much
an investigator would cost. Mayor Pillmore said no, it' s a flat fee.
Council Member Zimmerman motioned to table until next meeting, seconded by Council
Member Shriver.

Ms. McGree, Pets and People, wanted to clarify that they have 16 dogs and 13 cats and do
not plan to go over 18- 20 animals; they will not overcrowd the shelter.
Mayor Pillmore believes the challenge with this is if we grant this it will restrict the City to build
on that section of the property. Council Member Wootton wanted to know if this was voted
down, would they still be able to get water. Mayor Pillmore advised that yes, they would just
have to go about it a different way. Mr. Hort advised that he isn' t sure about other water
easements because they haven' t done any analysis for a well. Mr. Hort advised they would
have to go back up to Inla and go east or up to the railroad tracks. Mr. Castro wanted to
inform Council that State Governments can mandate types of shelters and the City should
maximize flexibility of their shelters. Federal and State Governments don' t usually loosen
restrictions, but they will usually increase level of control. Ms. McGee wanted to know what
the problem is with the water line. Mayor Pillmore advised that if the private utility easement is
granted, it will permanently restrict the City from building on that land.
Kevin Bishop, Pets and People Engineer, clarified that this easement is in the driving lane and
we could relocate the water line if needed.

Ronnie Short, 970 Dover Mansion, explained that this will not change the issue, and we will be
right back here with the same issue.
Jared Owens, 967 Dover Mansion, expressed he isn' t sure where blocking street came from.
Council Member Wootton asked Mr. Short his thoughts on where it needs to be blocked. Mr.
Short advised they believe it should be blocked from River Mesa to Dover Mansion at Oasis Ct.
There is speeding from Oasis to Smoking Oaks.
Council Member Selby wanted to know the effects for Fire/ Police. Chief Vogt said it would
take a longer response time but if we know the road is blocked then we will find another way
beforehand. The speed bumps would just have us slow down to go over if we knew they were
there.
Deputy Chief Brown said any type of traffic control device will help reduce speeders, but you
will still need reports on wear and tear, noise complaints, etc. At the end of the day, you must
look at what is best for that area. During our study we learned to put a four-way stop sign.
Council Member Wootton amended the motion to postpone this until the January 14, 2025,
meeting, seconded by Council Member Zimmerman.
Mr. Short just wanted to say that no one is listening, and the traffic commission is a joke. If he
would have brought this to Council instead of traffic commission three years ago, he would
have had a solution by now.

City Council Meeting Minutes - December 17, 2024 Page 11
Council Member Shriver is all about annexing land if we are able and we are pretty land
locked with Oklahoma City.
Denny Myers, 1 148 Dawn, has concerns about being too quick to annex property. We would
have to spend taxpayers' money on infrastructure, and we should be cutting spending.
Water, Fire, and Police would all increase their spending to hire.
Council Member Selby knows we have already responded to this area with our Fire
Department and that El Reno is watching how we proceed.
Ron Bohannon, 3900 N Banner Rd., is in the middle of this deal. Mr. Bohannon doesn' t want to
be a part of El Reno and neither do his neighbors. He has already received a notice in the
mail from El Reno. If this annex happens Yukon won' t be able to stop it.
Mayor Pillmore explained that we have more than one phase, but the initial one is the current
area. The people in this area are a natural fit for our community and our Police and Fire
already serve these people.
