The City of Bristow in its regular meeting discussed that the city recently launched a new and improved website. The city is very excited about the site and encourages everyone to log on. The site is not 100 percent polished and will need upgrades but Mayor Kris Wyatt stated that there had been new life given to an old website. There will be links to the historical society, the public library, the water department, meeting minutes and agendas, and a link to the area chamber. There is a hub of information that can be found on the site. You can find the website at www.cityofbristowokorg.
