The Edmond City Council meeting on July 14, 2025, kicked off with a significant proclamation declaring August 3-9 as National Farmers' Market Week. Mayor Mark A. Nash highlighted the economic impact of the Edmond Farmers Market, which generated over $1.6 million in sales for local vendors in 2024. The market is set to expand its presence in Downtown Edmond in 2025, featuring 80 small businesses throughout the season.

Emily, a representative from the Farmers Market, expressed gratitude for community support, emphasizing the market's role as a vibrant hub for social interaction and local agriculture. She encouraged residents to visit the market, noting the upcoming availability of seasonal produce, including large watermelons.

In addition to the proclamation, the council approved 14 appointments unanimously and conducted routine business, including a recess to the Edmond Public Works Authority meeting, which also passed several consent items without special consideration. The council reconvened to address general consent items, approving 22 items while continuing one for further discussion.

The meeting underscored the city's commitment to supporting local agriculture and community engagement, with the Farmers Market serving as a focal point for both economic activity and social connection in Edmond.
