NPWA/City Council Meeting is LIVE now.

Meeting begins at 6pmAgenda Packet link:https://app.box.com/s/af...

Before the June City Council meeting got underway, the City of Newcastle took a moment to celebrate the people who help make the community run — welcoming a new detective and honoring longtime employees whose service has shaped the city for 25 years.

Beau Ogden was sworn in as a detective with the Newcastle Police Investigations Division, bringing valuable investigative experience and a strong commitment to public service to the department and community.

Newcastle also honored three employees who have each served the city for 25 years and have been added to the Oklahoma Municipal League Honor Roll of Service:

Detective Kevin Morrissey, whose steady service and dedication have helped support the safety of Newcastle residents for a quarter century.

Utility Clerk Vetia Culp, who is often one of the first voices people hear when they come to Newcastle. As utility clerk, she helps set up utility accounts, fields questions and supports thousands of residents with patience and care.

Executive Assistant to the Planning Director Kathy James, a longtime Novocastrian, Newcastle graduate and dairy farmer whose roots in the community run deep. Through her work, Kathy helps residents, developers and city staff better understand the complexities of planning and zoning.

Their dedication reflects a lasting commitment to Newcastle and the people who call it home.

Public Notice: Crews will be performing brief maintenance at the Rockwell booster pump in approximately 20 minutes.

Residents along Highway 130 W. from Rockwell and south on Highway 76 may experience a temporary drop in water pressure lasting only a few minutes.

Thank you for your patience.
