BACKGROUND: The City of Lawton and FISTA were awarded an Oklahoma Public/Private Partnership Military Pooled Finance Grant in the spring of 2024. The grant totals $2,000,000.00 and the funds are currently held by FISTA. The money will be used for the Rogers Lane I-44 to US-62 Lighting Project. The City will hire the contractors and receive/pay the invoices. FISTA will provide $1,000,000.00 to the City up front and the remaining $1,000,000.00 once the project is 50% complete. Since the money was originally held with FISTA, the City did not budget for this project in FY25. A budget amendment is needed to appropriate $2,000,000.00 to the Capital Improvement Projects Fund.
