In April, voters approved a $9 million bond issue to build a new Fire Station No. 2 on land along North Western Road leased from Oklahoma State University. When the department moves into its new station, the historic fire station on Campus Corner will be repurposed by OSU.

Michael Kavalier said he voted in favor of the $9 million bond issue to build a new fire station because he comes from a family of public servants and he wants the firefighters to have a better facility.

Stillwater has passed its first municipal bond proposal since 1999, when voters approved $14.7 million to build a new police station and remodel the municipal administration building.

With unofficial results Tuesday, Stillwater voters passed a $9 million bond proposition by nearly 85 percent to build a new fire station.

The bond is “to provide funds for the purpose of constructing a new fire station.” The ballot only concerns the funding mechanism, though the City has plans to build a new fire station on Western Road, and having the current property where Fire Station 2 is located on the Oklahoma State University campus revert back to OSU.

Early and absentee voting heavily favored passing the proposition, with 120 Yes votes to 68 No votes. That trend continued as precinct results rolled in on election day. The final tally was 1,750 Yes votes to 321 No votes.
