Due to a severe winter storm, City of Lawton offices, including the Public Library, Animal Welfare, and recreation centers, will open at 1 p.m. today. The Lawton Landfill will open as usual at 8 a.m., and essential personnel are expected to report at their regular times, as per the City of Lawton website.
Trash collection for Area 1 will begin at 7 a.m. today, while Area 2 pickups will occur the following day at the same time. Municipal Court dates scheduled for today are being rescheduled, and the Dangerous and Dilapidated Meeting for Tuesday evening has been canceled. The Lawton City Council meeting will proceed at 6 p.m. as planned. Public viewing for Lawton Police Chief James T. Smith is scheduled for 5–7 p.m. at Becker-Rabon Funeral Home.
The city previously closed offices yesterday due to winter weather, while essential services continued. Adjustments to facility hours and trash collection began Thursday last week as conditions worsened, with residents advised to follow city communications for updates on schedules and travel safety.
