H
Are
just
a
big
thank
you
to
the
staff
for
working
on
the
upgrade
of
the
sound
systems
at
the
Civic
Center
to
include
the
hearing
loop
for
assisted
listening,
it's
going
to
make
a
huge
difference
and
we're
hoping
this
Civic
Center
may
just
be
sort
of
as
a
role
model
for
other
things
around
the
city.
How.
H
B
B
J
Apologize
I
didn't
realize
we
were
going
to
get
to
that
this
quickly.
Thank
you
so
much
for
allowing
me
to
be
here
this
morning.
My
name
is
Jim
hopper
I'm,
the
president
and
CEO
of
the
Oklahoma
Hotel
and
Lodging
Association.
So
we
represent
hotels
and
lodging
properties
throughout
the
state
of
Oklahoma.
J
This
issue
of
agreements
with
short
term
rental
companies,
particularly
Airbnb
with
cities,
is
a
good
start
and
I'm
going
to
assume
assumptions
are
always
dangerous,
but
I'm
going
to
assume
that
this
will
pass
today,
and
it
probably
should
because
cities
need
revenue,
and
we
all
know
that
Oklahoma
City
and
Tulsa
I
have
a
meeting
tomorrow
in
Tulsa
on
this
very
same
issue.
This
needs
to
happen
probably,
and
it
probably
will
pass-
and
we
understand
that,
but
I
would
urge
this
council
to
go
beyond
this.
J
This
is
a
Oklahoma's,
a
true
property
right
state.
We
all
agree
with
that.
If
I
wanted
to
be
able
to
share
my
rent
out
of
a
room
in
my
home,
I
ought
to
be
able
to
do
that,
but
property
rights
go
both
ways
and
one
of
the
issues
is
that
my
rights
as
a
homeowner,
that
that
is
next
door
to
someone
who
rents
out
their
home
every
weekend
for
a
party
house
and
I,
will
tell
you
that
if
you
go
on
some
of
these
sites,
you
will
actually
see
homes
rented
even
in
Oklahoma
City.
J
It
says
this
is
a
party
house
come
for
the
weekend.
Have
your
bridal
party
there
have
your
Grim's
party.
There
I
spoke
about
10
days
ago
with
a
citizen
here
in
Oklahoma
City,
who
said:
I
live
right
behind
one
of
these
houses.
It's
listed
on
Airbnb
and
every
single
weekend
there
there's
parties
I've
had
to
call
the
police
on
them,
because
they're
playing
music,
loud
they're,
doing
all
kinds
of
things.
That
myself
is
a
property
I
have
property
rights.
Also,
so
my
point
is
that
this
is
a
good
start,
it's
great
to
collect
taxes.
J
As
you
know,
the
Airbnb
recently
made
an
agreement
with
the
state
of
Oklahoma
to
collect
sales,
taxes,
state
and
local
sales
taxes
that's
great,
but
you
need
to
address
it.
Further.
I
have
shared
information
with
officials
here
at
the
city,
I've
done
it
at
Tulsa,
we've
done
it
in
Norman.
Saying
here
are
some
other
things
that
you
need
to
address
and
in
terms
of
Zoning
in
terms
of
property
rights
in
terms
of
health.
J
These
properties
are
not
inspected
by
the
Health
Department.
Like
hotels
are
there,
they
don't
pay
ad
valorem
taxes
and
off
as
much
as
other
people
as
hotels.
Do
they
don't
meet
the
same
standards
that
but
yet
they're
operating
as
as
hotels,
and
it
needs
to
be
a
level
playing
field,
and
so
I
would
just
urge
it
and
I've
got.
J
Last
thing
I
will
share
with
you
is
in
Florida
in
Texas
in
Tennessee
and
other
places
and
other
states
around
the
country
this
year.
During
this
legislative
session
it
didn't
happen
in
Oklahoma,
but
we
were
very
vigilant
on
this.
The
short-term
rental
companies
went
to
state
legislatures
and
and
tried
to
pass
legislation
to
preempt
cities
from
regulating
the
home
sharing
business.
J
So,
on
the
one
hand,
they
are
making
agreements
these
voluntary
agreements
for
the
collection,
taxes,
which
is
great
but
they're,
also
going
out
to
the
state
legislatures
and
trying
to
preempt
cities
from
regulating
the
the
short-term
rental,
the
home,
sharing
business.
We
will
not
let
that
happen.
We
will
be
very
vigilant
out
of
state
capital
to
make
sure
that
that
does
not
happen
in
Oklahoma,
but
I
wanted
you
all
to
know
that
they
are
doing
that
and
they're
trying
to
take
away
your
ability
to
regulate
these
homes,
as
you
should.
So.
J
B
K
Good
morning,
mayor
council
I've
been
asked
to
provide
you
just
a
general
overview
of
the
Airbnb
agreement.
That's
before
you
today,
I
have
also
with
me
today:
mat
Boggs,
Matson
assistant,
treasurer
in
my
office
and
he's
been
assisting
me
with
the
finalizing
the
agreement
with
Airbnb
we're
going
to
cover
a
few
topics
for
you.
A
very
brief
we'll
talk
about
some
of
the
background
on
Airbnb
and
then
we'll
cover
some
of
the
key
terms
within
the
agreement
that
we
think
might
be
of
interest
to
you
and
then
we'll
talk
briefly
just
about
the
timeline.
K
L
So
the
first
a
little
background
about
that
Airbnb
just
were
all
on
the
same
page.
Airbnb
Incorporated
was
found
in
2008,
so
still
a
relatively
young
company
and
the
way
that
it's
set
up.
They
have
an
online
platforms,
whether
that
be
through
Airbnb
comm
or
through
their
online
application,
essentially
hosts
as
they
define
it.
L
There
was
a
press
release
back
in
February,
where
Airbnb
stated
that
in
2016,
some
11,000
guests
stayed
at
Airbnb
properties
in
Oklahoma
City
during
calendar
year.
2016
now,
just
just
were
on
the
same
page.
This
is
specifically
for
the
5.5%
hotel
occupancy
tax.
So
this
is
not
the
the
funds
here,
we're
not
go
to
the
general
fund.
This
is
just
like
any
hotel.
L
Tax
funds
would
go,
which
would
be
for
the
Commission
visitor's
bureau,
for
the
fairgrounds
to
pay
for
those
bonds
and
for
marketing,
essentially
for
event
sponsorships
and
those
with
tourist
in
Oklahoma
City,
as
mr.
hopper
indicated
in
June
of
2017
Airbnb
did
reach
an
agreement
with
the
Oklahoma
Tax
Commission
for
the
sales
tax
portion
of
those,
so
starting
on
July
1st,
any
Airbnb
property
in
the
state
of
Oklahoma
was
tagged.
The
deeds
appropriate
sales
tax
which
for
Oklahoma
City
Oakland
County,
would
be
the
eight
point,
three
seven
five
percent.
L
K
You
happy
now
one
thing
I
did
want
to
stress.
You
know
with
the
discussion
that
we
have
going
on
today
that
the
purpose
of
this
agreement
is
to
address
Airbnb
ease,
assumption
of
responsibility,
as
it
relates
to
the
city's
hotel
tax
ordinance.
So
we're
talking
about
collecting
taxes.
There
are
other
ordinance
that
are,
you
know,
reside
within
the
city,
but
it's
not
intended
to
address
other
city
ordinances
for
which
an
individual
host
might
be
responsible
now
to
accommodate
their
rope.
K
They
agree
to
collect
the
taxes
at
the
time
of
the
rental
and
remit
taxes
to
the
city
on
a
monthly
basis,
along
with
the
monthly
tax
report.
This
actually
may
reduce
the
city's
administrative
burden
of
collecting
reports
and
taxes
from
each
individual
host
within
a
city.
As
with
any
operator,
the
city
can
audit
Airbnb
every
three
years,
which
is
about
the
normal
time
for
us
to
you,
know,
make
a
cycle
and
come
around
and
audit
a
hotel
any
event
that
there
are
discrepancies
that
we
find
that
we
that
can't
be
resolved
by
Airbnb.
K
K
So
those
are
just
the
general
terms
of
the
agreement
so
going
on
to
the
timeline
of
when
we
might
start
collecting
taxes.
If
the
agreement
is
approved
today
to
allow
Airbnb
to
start
collecting
our
taxes,
then,
as
matt
said,
Airbnb
will
need
a
certain
amount
of
time
in
order
to
incorporate
our
transaction
detail
into
their
platform.
They've
told
us.
K
It
will
be
about
four
weeks
that
they
can
do
this,
and
so
within
the
agreement
we
have
an
effective
date
of
September
first
and
that
will
actually
be
the
first
day
that
they'll
start
collecting
Oklahoma
City
Hotel
taxes.
What
that
means
and
I
think
Matt
touched
on
this-
is
that
we
should
start
seeing
the
results
of
those
revenues
when
they
file
their
September
taxes
in
October,
usually
around
a
15th
of
the
month.
So
with
that
being
said,
I
would
be
happy
to
take
any
questions.
You
might
have
sorry.
K
Point
in
time-
and
this
is
probably
a
good
thing
in
regard
to
doing
an
agreement
with
Airbnb
right
now-
the
numbers
aren't
real
significant
I
mean
we
are
talking
about
Matt
had
mentioned
based
on
Airbnb
Zestimate
said
you
know,
we're
looking
at,
maybe
11,000,
host
or
guests
stayed
in
Oklahoma
City
last
year,
just
by
our
calculations.
We
say
we
estimate
that
to
be
around
27,000
and
taxes
that
would
have
come
to
the
city.
K
M
M
O
Can
answer
any
questions
if
I
get
anything
wrong,
but
the
this
is
a
acceptance
of
a
subdivision
bond
in
lieu
of
having
the
improvements
done
prior
to
acceptance
of
the
dedications,
so
you'd
be
accepting
the
the
bond
and
the
dedications,
and
then
the
developer
would
be
installing
the
the
improvements
and
the
improvements
or
street
improvements
and
drainage
improvements.
If
you
look
at
the
map,
I
guess
you
guys
may
not
have
that,
but
there
is
a
link
between
the
commercial
and
the.
O
Office
properties,
the
five
tracks
that
this
relates
to
into
the
residential
neighborhood
and
that
that
link
is
there's
the
map.
I
comes
from
track.
Five
on
the
these
properties
into
the
residential
streets
track.
Five
is
basically
at
the
bottom
of
the
map
and
I
believe,
and
it
would
link
into
the
residential
streets.
So
our
councilman
Greiner
would
like
to
not
accept
the
dedications
for
the
subdivision
bond
yeah.
M
And-
and
the
reason
for
that
is
because
this
property
was
zoned
in
a
PUD
in
1984
and
it
allowed
for
a
connection
to
the
to
the
residential
neighborhood
I,
think
that
was
a
horrible
decision
that
was
made
in
1984.
But
you
know
of
us
were
here
then-
and
nothing
was
even
at
this
in
this
area
and
so
and
the
reason
that
the
developer
wants.
That
connection
is
so
they
can
make
a
left
turn
to
go
west
on
route
66.
The
better
solution
would
be
to
use
their
their
connection.
M
That's
going
north
there
and
make
a
cut
through
the
median
on
highway
66
to
turn
left
onto,
but
the
developer
doesn't
want
to
deal
with
ODOT,
which
I
don't
blame
him,
but
it
still
is
a
better.
It's
still
a
better
solution,
and
so
that
the
neighbors
are
obviously
I
mean.
Is
it's
a
really
really
awkward
connection
over
there
on
the
west
side,
I've
driven
by
it?
And
it
looks
really
really
odd
I,
don't
think
it's
a
good
thing
for
the
residential
neighborhood
and
obviously
they
don't
think
so
either
so.
M
Really
want
to
have
any
sort
of
connection
to
to
this.
So
if
basically,
there's
no
legal
thing,
there's
no
legal
way
that
we
can
stop
the
developer
from
doing
that.
Because
of
the
Pete.
The
PUD
says
that
they
can
have
that
beauty
actually
says
they
can
have
two
connections
to
the
residential
neighborhood,
but
I
just
feel
like.
This
is
a
way
that
I
can
show
support
for
the
residential
neighborhood.
M
O
Q
This
is
something
that
the
council
has
absolutely
discretion
over,
whether
or
not
to
accept
dedications
whether
we
have
to
accept
the
maintenance
of
those
we
they
can't
force
us
in
any
way
come
in
and
accept
those
dedications,
that's
totally
within
the
purview
of
the
council.
Whether
we
want
to
do
that
or
not,
and
what.
M
M
O
H
A
P
H
Briefly,
I
just
wanted
to
mention
item
7q,
which
is
the
agreement
with
the
artist
crow
Vanek
in
Breaux
or
in
design
for
the
arts,
for
the
municipal
course,
spelling
so
I
think
we're
really
excited
about
that
selection
and
7a.
Q
is
our
annual
agreement
with
that
Youth,
Council
and
I
just
wanted
to
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
Debbie
Martin
profusely
and
to
thank
leadership.
Oklahoma
City
for
helping
us
with
that
program.
I
think
were
15
years,
maybe
into
it.
We've
had
so
many
awesome.
H
Students
come
through
and
just
ironically,
I
was
a
Best
Buy
the
other
day
and
getting
some
work
done
on
my
phone
and
ran
into
Zach
Randolph.
It
was
one
of
the
word
six
youth
council
members.
He
going
to
owe
you
he's
a
junior
this
year,
he's
in
ROTC
and
he
working
part-time
to
help
put
himself
through
college
about
standing
young
man
so
he's
one
example
of
all
these
great
kids
that
we
have
come
through
Youth,
Council
and
I
think
we
get
to
introduce
our
new
class
next
week.

Is
there
anyone
here,
hoping
to
speak
on
item
9b
today,
all
right?
How
about
a
motion
then
to
move
it
forward?
B
E
E
T
Good
morning,
mayor
and
council,
please
have
the
opportunity
this
morning
to
share
some
background
information
with
you
about
the
two
proposed
ordinance
changes
that
are
on
your
agenda
items
9c
and
items
9
d
and
together
these
items
combined.
We
feel
like,
will
really
modernize
and
update
our
on-street
parking
provisions
as
well
as
change
the
metered
parking
time
limits
and
the
fees
for
on
street
metered
parking
with
that.
T
We'll
start
with
item
9c,
and
these
are
proposed
changes
to
chapters
32,
33,
56
and
60,
and
I
might
mention
that
this
was
really
a
collaborative
effort
between
the
public
transportation
and
parking
department,
Public
Works,
the
police
department
and
the
Office
of
Sustainability,
located
in
the
planning
department
to
come
up
with
these
changes.
So
we
have
a
summary
of
the
changes
on
the
slide
for
you
and
I'll,
just
briefly
go
through
those.
What
you're
going
to
find
in
this
ordinance
changes
once
some
language
to
allow
for
electric
vehicle.
T
Only
spaces
you'll
find
that
in
chapters
32
and
in
33,
and
really
what
we're
doing
with
the
ordinance
changes
were
allowing
for
the
future
implementation
of
on
street
parking
spaces
that
are
designated
for
electric
vehicles
only
and
then
establishing
fines.
If
non
electric
vehicles
were
to
park
in
those
spaces.
In
no
way
does
the
ordinance
identify
specific
locations
for
electric
vehicles,
all
that
would
still
have
to
be
brought
to
the
traffic
commission,
but
it
does
provide
for
that
implementation
in
the
future.
T
Would
we're
also
adding
an
administrative
fee
for
impounded
vehicles
where
that
vehicle
is
involved
in
some
type
of
criminal
activity.
The
administrative
fee
for
that
impound
will
range
from
50
to
$100.
You
can
find
that
in
chapter
32
and
then
also
in
chapter
60
and
then
the
last
item
I
wanted
to
touch
on
was
allowing
for
additional
payment
methods
and
meters,
and
this
is
where
the
pay
by
plate
on
street
parking
technology
really
comes
into
play
and
the
reason
the
the
change
is
needed
in
the
language
is
right.
T
Now
the
language
basically
says
that
you
know
motorists
are
not
allowed
to
park
in
on
street
parking
spaces
when
either
the
meter
shows
to
be
expired
or
the
receipt
that
is
provided
by
the
electronic
meters
shows.
The
time
is
expired
well
by
switching
over
to
pay
by
play
technology.
None
of
that
will
be
necessary.
So
we're
simply
just
updating
the
language.
Excuse
me
really
reflect
the
motorists
cannot
park
in
excess
of
the
amount
of
time
they've
purchased.
T
So
with
that
I
thought
I
might
spend
just
a
minute
talking
a
little
bit
about
pay
by
plate
technology
and
how
this
would
work
and
how
what
we
could
expect
implementing
it,
along
with
the
ordinance
change.
So,
first
of
all,
with
on
street
parking
technology
converting
over
to
pay
by
play.
We
really
think,
as
I
mentioned,
it
will
modernize
our
system
and
it
will
really
make
on
street
parking
more
convenient
for
the
end-user,
and
so
how
does
that
happen?
Well,
for
one?
T
Each
of
our
current
electronic
parking
meters
will
be
equipped
with
a
keyboard
similar
to
what
you
see
here
on
the
slide,
and
so
what
that
allows
a
person
to
do
an
on
street
parking
customer.
Basically,
they
can
find
any
available
on
street
parking
space,
find
a
meter
in
route
to
their
final
pedestrian
destination
and
pay
for
their
parking
by
simply
using
coins
credit
card
and
entering
their
license
plate.
So
again,
thinking
about
convenience
implementing
this
technology,
one
will
prevent
customers
from
having
to
locate
a
meter
purchase
their
parking.
T
So
what
I
mean
by
that
is
because
a
person
doesn't
have
to
find
a
meter
go
back
to
their
car.
We
really
feel
like
we
can
go
with
a
more
industry
standard
of
one
electronic
parking
meter
per
block
face,
and
so
what
that
allows
us
to
do
again
is
take
our
existing
inventory
of
meters
spread
them
out
more
in
the
downtown
area,
so
that
now
will
have
the
same.
Electronic
meter.
Technologies
in
Midtown
will
have
them
in
Bricktown
and
some
other
areas.
So.
H
Eric
I'm,
sorry
Jason.
We
currently
have
an
ordinance
that
says
that
two
vehicles
cannot
park
in
the
same
space.
Will
that
be
altered
by
this
because
you've
addressed
so
many
different
types
and
shapes
and
sizes
of
vehicles?
Do
we
have
to
have
you
know,
set
spaces
or
can
people
fill
up
the
space
that
exists
and
take
a
picture
of
their
license?
Plate
yeah.
T
H
T
T
This
time,
no
just
same
suite
of
credit
cards
and
coins.
Now
one
of
the
one
of
the
other
things
we
we
do
plan
to
implement
with
the
pay
by
play
technology-
that's
a
little
bit
later
on
and
our
phasing
is
the
ability
to
pay
for
parking
using
a
smartphone
app.
So
at
that
time
there
might
be
more
credit
card
options
that
are
available,
but
again
going
back
to
the
convenience.
We
think
you
know
again
with
the
pay
by
plate
technology,
a
person
can
pay
for
an
hour
and
a
half
a
time.
They're
meeting
runs
late.
T
H
T
Well,
it's
a
great
question
and
one
of
you
know
one
of
the
things
will
encourage
people
to
do.
Is
you
know,
obviously
right
you
got
to
have
your
license
plate
readily
available.
So
you
know
one
idea:
is
you
simply
just
take
a
picture
of
your
license
plate
keep
it
in
your
cell
phone,
but
it's
a
great
question.
T
In
fact,
we
had
a
meeting
last
week
with
our
PR
firm
and
we
do
understand
that
with
these
changes
and
a
new
way
of
paying
for
parking,
I
mean
it's
our
duty
to
educate
the
public,
and
so
we've
met
with
our
PR
firm,
we're
putting
together
some
strategies.
Our
marketing
folks,
along
with
the
cities
P
I,
am
office,
will
work
collaboratively
on
that
and
try
to
get
that
information
out
as
much
as
we
possibly
can
Jason.
R
With
regards
to
that,
I
thought
I
had
was
that
you
would
put
a
larger
sign,
because
currently
the
electronic
meters
that
have
a
face
of
them
are
pretty
well
all
used
up.
You
don't
have
any
additional
space,
so
if
you
could
maybe
one
sign
per
block,
that
would
go
into
more
detail
on
currently
how
to
use
the
electronic
meters,
because
I
still
encounter
people
who
struggle
with
how
to
use
them,
and,
secondly,
you
could
also
put
a
space
in
there.
Anybody
with
handicap
parking
can
park.
M
That
I
got
a
question
unenforced
as
far
as
enforcement.
Our
parking
officer
is
going
to
be
going
around
typing
in
the
license
plate
to
see
how
much
time
they
have
or
are
they
going
to
have
a
list
of
everybody
of
all
of
the
license
plates
and
which
ones
have
been
gone
over
time,
and
then
they
go
out
and
search
for
that
license.
Plate
I
mean
how
was
that
house
exactly
so
good.
T
Great
question,
and
and
that's
another
advantage
to
the
pay
by
play-
is
that
we'll
be
able
to
actually
enforce
on
street
parking
much
more
efficiently,
because
the
vehicles
used
by
the
police
service
techs
to
enforce
the
on
street
parking
will
have
cameras
that
will
automatically
read
those
plates
and
so
they'll
be
networked,
and
no,
you
know
when
they
drive
by
they
read
that.
Are
they
within
their
allotted
time,
so
it'll
be
much
more
efficient.
Okay,
okay,
fascinating.
A
B
T
T
We
are
recommending
consolidating
that,
to
one
very
easy
to
understand,
consistent
citywide
just
to
our
parking
zone,
and
you
know
we've
done
that,
based
on
some
feedback
we've
received
and
the
difficulty
sometimes
in
being
able
to
take
care
of
significant
business
downtown
when
you
only
have
one
hour
to
do
it.
You
know
an
hour
15
an
hour
and
30.
Most
people
can
see
that
some
can't
get
it
done
in
one
hour,
so
we
are
recommending
that
change
on
the
next
slide
was
going
to
just
show
you
real
quickly.
T
A
map
of
our
existing
parking
meters
and
zones
and
again
I,
won't
go
into
the
detail,
but
suffice
it
to
say
we
have
eight
different
zones,
different
pricing
in
each
one
of
those
zones
and
we're
just
looking
for
consistency
and
clarity,
and
the
pricing
moving
forward,
go
ahead
and
go
to
the
next
slide.
Meg.
So
so,
then,
we
would
wrap
up
with
not
only
increasing
the
time
limits
to
two
hours,
but
we
would
also
look
at
changing
the
on
street
parking
fee
to
a
consistent
to
a
$2.00
per
hour
for
on
street
parking.
T
So
why
would
we
do
that?
Well,
we
really
feel
like
right
now.
The
fee
for
on-street
parking
does
not
support
its
intended
use,
which
I
think
most
would
agree
on.
Street
parking
should
be
convenient,
some
of
the
most
convenient
parking
and
there's
e
there's
a
price
associated
with
that.
In
addition,
we
need
pricing
that
encourages
high
turnover
and
right
now
the
on
street
parking
is
actually
less
expensive
than
parking
in
a
municipal
parking
garage.
Many
of
the
garages
downtown
so
with
on-street
parking
being
some
of
the
cheapest
parking.
T
It
really
doesn't
incentivize
that
high
turnover
in
some
cases,
we
believe,
can
lead
to
excessive
vehicular
circulation
downtown,
as
people
might
feel
like.
Okay,
it's
worth
driving
around
the
block
two
or
three
times
to
find
that
cheapest
most
convenient
parking.
So
again,
with
the
ordinance
changes
today,
we
would
propose
increasing
that
to
$2
per
hour
and
customers
could
still
purchase
parking
in
15-minute
increments.
T
U
Yes,
I
do.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
So
much
Michael
washing
2,900
knots,
East
18th
Street.
This
proposed
amendment
by
this
gentleman
again
I
walked
in
kind
of
late,
but
I
do
have
some
interesting
points
that
I
did
take
down.
I.
Think
it's
gonna
be
very
interesting.
Lot
of
people
number
one
yeah.
This
gentleman's
agenda
seems
we
have
an
agenda
attached
to
it
and
number
one.
This
man
wants
this
committee
to
embark
on
a
weird
idea
of.
U
Creating
a
system
now
where,
when
a
person
pays
with
a
credit
card
or
what-have-you
again,
I
came
in
late,
it's
necessary
now
for
them
to
put
in
a
driver's
license
always
serious
here
and
what
sense
does
that
make
ask
you
cannot
a
driver's
license
but
a
license
tag
now?
What
sense
does
that
make
of
anybody's
mindset
to
suddenly
now
we
want
you
to
put
up
a
your
drivers,
a
lot
of
license
tag
into
the
hold
equation.
U
U
That's
all
you
know,
and
I
haven't
had
a
problem
using
my
deadlines
or
getting
a
ticket
and,
as
a
matter
of
fact,
if
a
person
does
get
a
ticket
that
should
be
on
them
sensitive,
whether
the
time
is
limited
or
not,
because
you
do
have
parking
enforcement
officers
who
come
around
I,
don't
know
or
two
hours
or
whatever
the
case
may
be.
If
somebody
doesn't
make
sense
to
me-
and
now
this
is
what
really
gets
me
here
automatic
now,
a
$2.00
per
hour
parking
on
the
streets
down
here,
where's
this
we'll
be
going.
U
This
is
what
I
want
to
know,
or
you
better
believe,
I'm
up
on
that
one
all
of
a
sudden,
now
$2
and
then
you
know
we
want
to
use
it
off
by
saying.
Oh,
there
would
be
increments
where
I
person
getting
to
have
15
min
it
installments
parking
time
always.
Are
we
kidding
who's
going
to
be
down
just
for
15
minutes,
not
bigger,
opulent
lifestyle,
almost
City
not
downtown
we're,
not
knowing?

you

let

tell
you
something:
I
don't
have
a
problem
with

No,
you
keep

doing

here
and
if
a

that's
not
going
to
come
in
and
act
right
and
you
give
them
a

and
you
do

Yes,
I
will
say
it
takes
the
steps
necessary
to
secure
these
just
clear.

mean,
oh,

Okay,
now
that
I
see
that
day.
Now,
what
interest
is
that

yours
for
the

the

What
not
you

city?
What
agent
of
yours
is

people's
property,
then
you
for
not
having
a
money
attachment
to
it.
We.
U
V
U
X
B
D
B
A
K
K
We
have
updated
this
document
based
on
a
couple
of
what
I
think
are
key
key
items.
One
of
the
things
that
we
did
want
to
clarify
within
the
policy
is
the
treasurer's
authority,
as
it
relates
to
banking
relationships
charter
states
that
I
do
have
custody
of
cities
funds,
but
in
relation
to
my
responsibilities
as
it
relates
in
regard
to
banks
and
setting
up
bank
accounts
and
that
sort
of
thing
we
wanted
to
clarify
that
also
hether
responsibility
for
that.
So
that's
a
one
of
the
changes
within
policy.
K
Probably
the
key
update
has
to
do
with
we
added
an
option
for
collateral.
You
may
be
aware
from
some
of
our
past
discussions
at
any
time.
We
keep
deposits
at
any
of
our
banks.
Those
deposits
have
to
be
collateralized,
meaning
something
should
happen
to
the
bank
that
every
bank
goes
under
overnight.
We
have
to
have
the
ability
to
do
something
in
order
to
get
our
money
back.
K
What
we've
done
in
the
past
is
that
we
require
the
banks
to
secure
our
deposits
by
putting
on
deposit
securities
in
a
form
of
you
know,
Treasury
notes
and
other
agency
notes
with
the
Federal
Reserve.
So
what
happens
is
if
the
bank
should
go
under?
We
go
directly
to
the
Federal
Reserve
and
say
you
know,
give
us
those
securities
which
we
then
sell
and
eventually
get
our
deposits
back.
K
The
letter
credit.
Basically,
is
our
bank,
as
the
buyer
will
go
to
the
Federal
Home
Loan
Bank,
who
will
be
the
issuer
and
they'll
purchase
a
letter
of
credit
or
the
city's
deposits
to
cover
cities,
deposits
and
the
city
will
be
listed
as
beneficiary.
So
what
happens
is
in
that
scenario
I
explained
a
minute
ago,
any
event
that
we
would
ever
have
to
try
to
get
our
funds
back
said
the
bank
go
under.
K
We
just
go
directly
to
the
Federal
Home
Loan
Bank,
and
it's
actually
a
better
process,
because
the
Federal
Home
Loan
Bank
letters
are
credit
with
securities
at
the
Federal
Reserve.
There
probably
is
going
to
be
some
court
intervention.
We
have
to
justify
that
those
are
our
securities
natures
and
it
may
take
a
while
to
get
our
money
back
with
letters
of
credits.
It's
actually
we
can
redeem
a
letter
of
credit
either
that
same
day
or
the
very
next
day.
Another
couple
of
things
about
the
Federal
Home
Loan
Bank,
is
that
they
are.
K
We
any
cost-
that's
associated
with
a
letter
of
credit,
will
be
borne
by
the
bank
as
part
of
the
part
of
the
rules
that
have
been
established
by
the
State
Treasurer,
a
couple
of
other
things
in
regard
to
why
you
know
some
of
the
advantages
related
to
your
letters
of
credit.
It's
appealing
the
banks,
you
know
caring
securities
for
them,
especially
we
require
government
securities,
which
you
know.
Interest
return
on.
K
Another
good
thing
for
us
is
that
a
letter
of
credit
is
a
fixed
value,
so
if
we
have
a
$10,000,000
letter
or
credit
that
the
bank
gives
us
today,
you
know
three
months
from
now:
it's
still
going
to
be
worth
ten
million
dollars.
So
what
that
means
is
that
you
know
again
in
our
scenario
with
securities
I
would
have
to
monitor
the
value
of
those
securities
which
fluctuates
based
on
the
market.
You
know
it
could
change
tomorrow,
so
we
have
to
make
sure
that
they're
always
carrying
enough
security
to
cover
our
deposits.
K
W
K
A
state
of
Oklahoma
it
is,
and
actually
some
of
the
cities
within
the
state
have
used
letters
of
credit
in
the
past.
In
fact,
letters.
The
credits
have
always
been
allowed
in
statutes.
We
didn't
always
include
them
in
our
investment
policy,
because
our
investment
policy
is
a
bit
more
restrictive.
The.
K
Okay,
no
it's
it's
used
throughout
the
nation.
We
looked
at
it
closer
recently
because
there
was
a
restriction
in
statutes
that
we
could
only
use
the
Topeka
bank
Federal
Home
Loan
Bank,
for
letters
of
credits.
For
us
we
oftentimes
are
using
national
banks.
You
know
JP
Morgan's
example
of
that
JP
Morgan
is
actually
resident
in
Columbus
Ohio,
so
they
would
have
to
use
a
Cincinnati
federal
home
loan
bank
so
just
recently,
and
the
states
also
a
customer
JP
Morgan
as
well.

E
X
I
do
I
think
folks
at
Briarwood
for
Sunday
afternoons
ice
cream
social.
They
had
given
me
an
opportunity
to
present
the
benefits
of
the
Geo
bond
program
that
they
will
be
voted
on
in
September
and
then
also
it
was
a
great
meeting
put
together
by
Weston
group
on
Thursday
noon,
with
all
the
apartment
managers
along
Northwest,
10th,
Street,
being
invited
to
a
lunch
at
the
interest.
X
H
H
Not
really
I
think
so.
I
would
encourage
anybody
in
the
neighborhood
to
come
on
down
is
just
one
of
these
I've
said
before,
but
it's
a
great
public-private
partnership
and
it's
going
to
be
a
wonderful
renovation
and
I
like
Larry,
wanted
I
wanted
to
thank
the
Plaza
District
for
hosting
me
to
a
meeting
to
talk
about
the
upcoming
bond
issue
and
the
reason
that's
so
important.
All.
P
Right
mark
thank
Your,
Honor
I
wanted
to
give
an
update
on
the
senior
health
and
wellness
center
number
one
I
talked
to
bill
Fleming
this
morning.
When
this
project
first
started,
we
had
hoped
by
April
30th
to
have
600
members,
and
we
hoped,
by
the
end
of
the
year,
to
have
2,000
members
today
we're
over
3400
members.
The
water
aerobics
classes
are
full
we're
having
to
expand
the
our
classes
are
full.
The
seminars
are
well
attended.
It's
the
evening.
P
Events
such
as
the
barbecue
they
had
a
couple
of
nights
ago
where
600
people
showed
up,
and
so
I
asked
bill
to
tell
me
how's
it
going
and
he
asked
me
to
relate.
This
is
fantastic.
It's
great!
The
people
love
it.
The
concept
really
works,
so
I
want
to
thank
bill,
Fleming
and
all
his
folks
for
all
the
hard
work.
They're
doing
and
I
also
want
to
thank
all
about.
Chai
has
now
opened
up
in
there
as
of
this
week
and
there's
food
service,
coffee
and
tea.
Wonderful,
yeah,
thanks.
N
City
Council,
thank
you
all
for
giving
us
a
time
to
present
and
talk
a
little
about
it.
Toca
my
name
is
Don
Douglas
prior
design
with
me
during
the
presentation
is
Kurt
Thompson
of
AECOM,
which
is
part
of
our
design
team
and
one
brief
agenda
and
we'll
go
through
the
project.
History.
We're
going
to
do
some
examples
of
crossing
the
river,
which
is
one
of
the
main
things
we're
going
to
talk
about
talk
about
considered
the
alternatives,
the
cost
assessment,
Center
recommendations.
N
So
a
little
about
the
project
history.
This
is
the
otoko
pipeline,
which
you
all
have
heard
about
and
will
hear
about,
is
the
coming
months
begin.
It
works,
basically
works
taking
water
out
in
the
geekery
to
toca.
Again
then,
there's
a
hundred
mile
high
60
inch
concrete
pipeline
and
through
six
solicitations
and
goes
into
Draper.
The
new
proposal
will
be
a
72
inch,
steel
line
again
from
Lake
Atoka
to
Draper
in
be
the
hundred
miles
now,
when
our
forefathers
begin
to
think
of
this
job
in
built.
N
The
first
line
then
left
us
enough
right
away
because
they
knew
eventually
that
we
would
need
another
line,
and
that's
what
we're
going
to
talk
about.
This
really
starts
in
the
mirror.
Remember
1950
that
Oklahoma
City
was
suffering
the
drought,
December
2.
What
we're
having
now,
both
like
Overholser
and
Hefner,
were
down,
and
the
council
began
to
look
at
a
short
term,
long
term
solution.
The
short
term
was
to
dig
and
build
wells
into
the
North
Canadian
alluvium
to
provide
water
into
Hefner
and
overhauser.
The
long
term
was
to
go
to
southeast
Oklahoma.
N
So
in
1955
we
had
a
bond
issue
and
there
were
12
propositions
on
the
bond
issue,
one
of
which
was
5
million
dollars
to
go
to
toca,
buy
the
land
to
build
the
dam
in
the
reservoir.
When
the
bond
issue
was
voted
for
the
5
for
the
12
past
and
the
toca
was
one
of
them,
so
in
1958
the
reservoir
and
the
dam
were
completed
in
1959,
we
began
to
hold
more
water
in
that
reservoir
than
we
did
in
a
both
like
health,
like
over
over,
like
ever
in
1960
being
in
its
first
a
year.
N
We
formed
the
water
trust
and
we
begin
to
look
at
how
we
bring
the
water
up
and,
by
the
end
of
1960,
the
trustor
see
62
million
dollars
to
build
line
from
a
toca
to
Draper.
At
that
point,
the
council
increase
the
water
rates,
50
percent,
so
in
August
and
61
we
laid
the
first
joint
pipe
and
in
December
61
we
began
construction
of
the
stations
in
1962
and
you'll
watch
the
time
lapse,
because
this
is
going
to
be
similar.
Y
Thank
You
Don
yeah,
so
I'm
going
to
discuss
a
bit
about
the
engineering
analyses
we
went
through
about
six
months
of
analyses
and
costs
estimating
to
come
to
the
conclusions
we
have
and
I'm
going
to
give
you
some
examples,
what
our
analyses
were
like
and
why
we
concluded
with
the
conclusions
that
we
did
the
existing
bridge.
In
case
you
haven't
been
out
there
for
crossing
the
Canadian
River
as
a
pipe
Ridge,
where
it
relies
on
the
strength
of
the
pipe
to
support
itself
across
the
river.
Y
Y
So
we
looked
at
in
our
study,
we
looked
at
three
different
or
two
different
categories
of
options.
One
is
across
the
river
with
a
bridge
and
aerial
crossing
and
the
other
is
a
trenchless
crossing
in
the
aerial
crossings
that
we
looked
at.
We
studied
repeating
what
was
done
back
in
the
60s
is
a
pipe
bridge
to
get
across
the
river.
Y
We
looked
at
each
type.
We
did
conceptual
designs
of
each
type
of
bridge
and
compared
the
pros
and
cons
of
each
type
of
aerial
crossing.
A
pipe
bridge
similar
to
what's
in
place
now
requires
about
22
piers
to
get
across
the
river
because
of
the
limits
of
the
strength
of
the
pipe,
a
steel
truss
bridge
where
you
have
an
exterior
trust,
supporting
the
pipe
requires
about
13
piers
to
get
across
the
river
and
then
a
complex
bridge.
Y
The
the
main
benefit
of
that
is
that
you
can
get
across
the
river
with
your
peers,
the
all
we
also
looked
at
the
pros
and
cons
of
each
type,
mostly
from
the
point
of
view
of
future
expansion,
to
add
another
pipe
for
the
crossing
and
for
operation
and
maintenance.
The
existing
pipe
bridge
requires
quite
a
bit
of
operation
maintenance
every
year
and
as
the
pipe
in
the
bridge
is
aging.
Y
That
requirement
for
operation
and
maintenance
is
getting
even
greater
and
the
steel
truss
bridge
in
the
air,
the
complex
bridge,
make
improve
the
access
for
operation
and
maintenance
of
the
pipe
that's
needed.
Every
year,
then
we
looked
at
trenchless
options.
This
is
going
below
the
river
crossing
in
the
either
in
within
the
river
bed
or
in
the
sandstone
layer
below
the
river
bed.
Y
These
are
options
that
weren't
necessarily
available
back
in
the
60s,
or
at
least
aren't
as
weren't
as
prominent
back
then
as
they
are
now,
we
looked
at
two
types
of
trenchless
crossings.
One
would
be
using
a
tunnel
boring
machine
that
is
being
used
quite
a
bit
throughout
the
United
States
now
and
the
other
was
to
do
a
rock
bore,
which
is
similar
to
the
type
of
tunneling
that
was
done
before.
Micro
tunneling
machines
were
in.
A
Y
For
a
micro,
tunneling
or
Rock
boring
operation
for
either
type
of
transverse
crossing,
you
need
shafts
at
each
end
of
the
crossing
for
access
and
egress
from
the
tunnel
and
then
for
each
type
of
those
options.
Trenchless
options
we
looked
at
either
a
shallow
or
where
we
would
be
boring
through
the
river
river
bed
itself,
the
river
alluvium
or
a
deeper
Boram,
where
we
would
be
maintaining
the
bore
throughout
the
sandstone
layer.
Underneath
the
river.
S
Y
This
this
slide
is
to
show
you
a
little
bit
about
micro
tunneling
operations.
They
are
very
engineered
operations
these
days,
it's
a
relatively
new
method
for
boring,
but
all
of
the
operations
are
now
engineered
in
terms
of
how
to
grind
the
rock
how
to
remove
the
rock
from
the
tunnel
how
to
push
the
pipe
through
the
tunnel.
These
are
all
well
engineered
systems.
In
this
case.
That
will
be
relatively
simple.
Y
We
compared
the
two
options:
micro,
tunneling
machine
versus
more
standard
rock
for
looking
at
the
advantages
and
disadvantages
of
each.
There
really
are.
We
are
within
the
limits
of
either
type
of
operation,
but
the
as
we
got
into
the
conceptual
design
for
the
rock
bore.
One
of
the
issues
is
removing
all
of
that
material
from
the
tunnel
for
it
he
roughly
2500
foot
length
of
this
tunnel,
they
would
be,
would
be
removing
a
lot
of
material
and
you
need
to
weigh
traffic
in
a
rock
board
tunnel.
Y
The
machine
is
not
removing
the
spoils
of
the
tunnel,
you're
actually
trucking
the
materials
out,
so
that
meant
that
you
needed
for
a
rock
or
you
need
to
have
a
minimum
120
inch
diameter
tunnel
to
move
the
rock
or
to
remove
the
rock
and
then
truck
it.
It
move
your
trucks
in
and
out
of
the
tunnel
when
we
looked
at
that,
we
considered
that
there
are
no
advantages
to
that
larger
size
tunnel.
In
fact,
it's
creating
more
spoils
that
you
have
to
dispose
of.
P
N
N
N
N
Y
You
one
of
the
thing
I'd
like
to
mention:
we
did
have
discussions
along
those
lines
with
the
water
utility
staff,
one
of
the
because
we
wanted
to
make
the
case
that
that
larger
diameter
tunnel
is
a
value,
but
especially
in
water
systems.
Redundancy
and
reliability
of
operations
are
important
and
if
you
try
to
just
use
this
one
large
tunnel,
if
anything
happens
to
that
tunnel,
now,
you've
got
no
water
getting
across
the
river.
Y
So
the
what
we
studied
here
is
to
look
at
two
tunnels
under
the
river
one
as
part
of
the
72-inch,
the
expansion
of
the
existing
pipe
and
eventual
replacement,
and
then,
when
that
sixteenth
pipe
needs
to
be
replaced,
you
would
drill
a
second
time
that
gives
you
more
flexibility
in
your
operations
and
more
real
liability
or
operations,
and
that
that's
a
good
segue
into
the
alternatives
that
we
considered
for
the
aerial
crossings.
We
looked
at
knowing
that
in
the
future
there
might,
you
might
want
to
pipes
going
across
the
river.
We
looked
at
pipe
bridges.
Y
That
would
be
large
enough.
The
piers
would
be
designed
upfront
to
allow
a
second
pipe
to
be
installed
on
the
piers
or
we
look
at
building
the
pipes
on
separate
piers.
What
you
build
one
pipe
now
and
then
come
in
and
put
a
second
row
of
piers
and
a
second
pipe
on
it
in
the
future.
For
the
truss
span
bridge
one
of
the
advantages
of
the
truss
band
bridge.
Y
Is
you
just
put
in
the
same
number
of
peers,
but
you
can
expand
that
in
the
future
to
lay
the
second
pipe
on
the
truss
itself
that
this?
The
advantage
of
this
one
is
that
it
allows
for
good
access
to
the
pipes
for
future
operations
and
maintenance.
And
then,
when
we
got
into
the
cable-stayed
bridge,
this
would
be
the
complex
bridge
that
allows
for
a
longer
span
across
the
river.
Y
We
started
pricing
this
option
and
and
as
we
got
into
the
design,
it
is
the
word
complex
is
appropriate
to
this.
It
requires
very
difficult
construction,
very
expensive
construction
and
it
doesn't
offer
as
many
advantages.
So
we
went
ahead
and
priced
this
option
out,
but
we
knew
when
we
got
to
this
stage
of
the
analysis
that
this
was
not
a
likely
option.
Y
Then,
for
the
micro
tunnelling
options.
What
we
looked
at
is
initially
putting
in
a
72
inch
diameter
or
it
would
actually
be
an
84
inch
diameter
board
to
accommodate
a
72
inch,
diameter
pipe
and
then
the
option
of
in
the
future
or
concurrently
putting
in
another
smaller
tunnel
to
replace
the
existing
60
inch
pipe.
Y
There
were
a
number
of
discussions
of
how
to
fit
those
tunnels
within
the
existing
right-of-way
and,
as
these
graphic
show,
we
decided
that
putting
the
new
tunnel
on
the
north
and
west
side
of
the
assisting
pipe
bridge
and
then
the
second
tunnel.
The
60
inch
diameter
tunnel
on
the
other
side,
allowed
us
to
most
efficiently
use
the
existing
right
away.
Y
Y
The
their
risk
is
inherent
in
all
of
these
studies
that
we're
looking
at
this
river
crossing
is
critical,
just
because
it
is
so
unique
for
the
areal
options.
The
risks
are
inherent
throughout
the
life
of
the
pipe,
because
you
have
your
area,
your
bridge
pairs
and
your
installation
of
the
pipe
above
the
river
bed.
That
makes
your
construction
a
little
risky,
and
then
you
have
your
future
operation
and
maintenance
issues
that
have
to
be
done
within
the
riverbed
in
the
future.
Y
For
the
trench,
less
options
there
is
that
construction
risk
anytime
that
you're
doing
a
construction
below
ground
it's
a
little
bit
more
risky,
but
then
in
the
future,
for
operations
and
maintenance.
Your
your
risks
are
much
less
much
less
of
an
issue
because
you
don't
have
to
do
your
operation
and
maintenance
as
frequently
because
the
pipe
the
big
difference
between
these
two
types
of
crossings,
the
aerial
crossing-
is
exposed
to
the
environment.
Every
day
some
wind
rain
snow
ice
everything
when
you've
gone
under
the
river
with
a
trenchless
crossing.
Y
Y
Pipe
can
take
earthquakes.
It's
hard
to
predict.
You
can
take
seismic
loading
into
account.
If
you
have
of
ground
rupture,
there
is
a
you
will
lose
your
pipe,
whether
it's
a
tunnel
or
whether
it's
the
bridge,
the
aerial
crossing.
If
you
have
ground
rupture
where
actually
movement
across
a
joint
there's,
nothing
you
can
do
other
than
through
your
operations
set
the
pipe
down
as
soon
as
possible,
but
the
in
terms
of
seismic
I'll
give
you
an
example.
Y
If
there's
seismic
action,
those
pipe
bridges
are
the
piers
and
in
the
truss
span,
they're
all
swinging
with
that
seismic
activity
with
with
the
trenchless
crossing
the
pipe,
is
moving
with
the
ground,
and
it's
only
if
you
have
a
ground
rupture
where
you
would
have
a
damage
to
the
pipe.
So
seismic
is
an
issue
for
both,
but
we
believe
the
trenchless
Crossing
is
actually
better
protected
from
seismic
action.
Y
So
we
went
through
a
fairly
extensive
cost,
estimating
process
we
contacted
contractors.
We
talked
to
contractors
about
how
they
would
construct
it.
We
talked
to
our
own
transportation
bridge
engineers
on
how
this
would
be
constructed.
One
of
the
biggest
issues
for
the
aerial
crossing
a
course
is
working
in
the
riverbed
to
construct
your
peers
to
get
the
pipe
in
place,
whereas
with
the
trenchless
you're
working
with
in
shafts
on
either
side
of
the
river,
and
most
of
your
work
is
protected
from
the
river
effects.
Y
Y
But
we
don't
recommend
the
lowest
cost.
One
is
the
lowest
cost.
Is
a
shallow
bore?
That's
the
shallow
bore
that
I
mentioned
where
you're
drilling
through
the
alluvium,
and
that
creates
a
little
bit
more
risk,
both
during
construction
and
after
construction
during
the
operation
and
maintenance,
because
now
the
pipe
is
exposed
to
a
little
bit
more
River
scour
being
in
the
alluvium,
as
opposed
to
being
down
in
the
solid
stance.
Don't
Rock.
So
we
believe
the
couple
of
extra
million
dollars
to
get
deeper
and
into
the
rock
is
worth
it
and
that's.
Y
Our
recommendation
is
to
go
with
two
bores
through
the
sandstone
layer
below
the
riverbed,
our
that's
our
recommendation.
This
is
this
is
still
at
the
conceptual
level
and
our
next
step.
Our
next
action
steps
are
to
get
some
more
geotechnical
information
to
confirm
some
of
the
design
information
that
we
had
to
start
with
and
to
take
the
design
to
the
next
step
to
refine
the
cost
estimates.

The
next
item
is
a
presentation
regarding
the
City
Council
priority
briefing
for
maintain
a
strong
financial
management
and
encourage
robots
local
economy
as
you're
familiar
with
our
leading
for
results
process.
One
of
the
things
that
we'd
like
to
do
periodically
is
bring
forward
information
for
the
City
Council
on
our
progress
meeting
your
strategic
objectives,
so
this
presentation
today
by
Craig
Freeman,
will
address
the
maintain
strong
financial
management
and
then
we'll
hear
from
Brian
and
Mark
Brandenburg
regarding
the
encourage
a
robust
local
economy.
So.
AA
I'll,
take
a
look
at
the
maintaining
strong
financial
management.
You
know
as
you're
aware
that
the
financial
management
has
been
strong.
Financial
management
has
been
a
priority
of
the
council
for
many
many
years
since
we've
been
doing
priorities
and
setting
these
priorities,
and
it's
really
critical
for
us
to
be
able
to
serve
our
citizens
and
maintain
their
confidence
on
something
we
want
to
really
keep
an
eye
on
and
something
we
want
to
keep
a
priority
for
the
city,
and
so
there
are
several
factors:
several
indicators
that
we
have
used
to
measure
strong
financial
management.
AA
One
of
those
is
maintaining
our
bond
rating.
The
second
one
is
looking
at
our
general
fund
reserve
levels
and
the
third
one
is
the
percentage
of
sales
tax
that
makes
up
our
general
fund
revenue.
So
it's
looking
at
our
reliance
on
sales
tax
in
our
revenue
make
up
there
the
general
fund,
the
triple-a
bond
rating
is
important
to
us
for
many
reasons.
One
of
them
is
that
the
rating
agencies
really
take
a
long-term
view
when
their
rating
is
because
they're
rating
us,
as
we're
selling
20-year
bonds,
for
instance
in
our
general
obligation
bond
program.
AA
AA
Not
only
is
it
indicate
fun,
strong
financial
health,
but
it
also
allows
us
to
have
lower
borrowing
costs,
but
then
allows
us
to
put
more
money
into
projects,
and
it
also
gives
us
the
ability
to
be
able
to
support
other
trusts
as
they're
selling
bonds,
that
if
they
need
that
backing
or
that
moral
obligation
support
from
the
city,
then
we
have
that
available
that
we
can
use.
It
is
a
limited
resource.
AA
We
can
get
to
a
place
where
we
max
that
out
and
can't
go
further
with
that,
but
having
that
ability
to
be
able
to
do
that,
allow
some
of
our
trusts
that
need
that
additional
support
to
help
get
lowering
lower
borrowing
costs
as
well.
A
few
of
the
indicators
that
I'll
look
at
here
are
tied
in
with
some
of
the
factors
that
the
rating
agencies
look
at
one
of
them.
AA
They
look
at
is
our
bond
our
bond
capacity,
bonding
capacity
and
how
much
debt
we
have
outstanding
and
say
look
one
of
the
measures
that
we
look
at
is
our
outstanding
general
obligation
bond
debt
compared
to
our
net
assessed
value,
and
we
use
net
assessed
value
measure
this,
because
that's
really
the
basis
from
which
our
property
taxes
are
collected
in
to
repay
the
bonds.
You
can
see
that
it's
stayed
relatively
constant.
It
did
increase
in
the
last
few
years,
got
up
to
about
thirteen
and
a
half
percent
and
it
stayed
there.
AA
One
of
the
reasons
for
that
increase
is
because
we've
had
lower
borrowing,
a
more
favorable
bond
markets.
We've
had
lower
borrowing
costs
which
it
allow
has
allowed
us
to
issue
more
debt.
Recently,
we
don't
expect
that
to
be
an
increase
over
time,
especially
because
the
fact
that
we
had
the
commitment
that
we
worked
to
stay
at
the
average
of
16
mils
and
we've
been
able
to
successfully
do
that
with
our
2007
bond
program,
10,
with
the
commitment
that
it
has
been
made
in
the
resolutions
from
the
council
for
the
2017
bond
program
as
well.
AA
AA
You
can
see
it's
a
hundred
and
five
percent
several
years
ago,
as
a
result
of
coming
through
the
recession,
our
rating
and
dropped
our
funded
status
that
dropped
down
to
about
87
percent
and
really
been
declining
over
multiple
years,
and
the
Retirement
System
board
came
back
with
a
recommendation
to
make
some
plan
design
changes
that
the
council
approved
put
us
in
a
stronger
position.
We
have
had
some
years
better
years
of
returns,
also
that
have
helped
to
bolster
that
back
up
and
it's
currently
at
105
percent.
AA
These
are
just
a
couple
of
quotes
that
we
took
out
of
the
ratings
reports
that
we
received
from
Moody's
and
Standard
and
Poor's.
The
first
one
indicates
how
important
our
financial
reserves
are,
particularly
with
booties,
as
they
emphasize
that
Moody's
and
Standard
importance,
both
of
emphasizes
the
fact
that
we're
so
reliant
on
sales
tax
as
a
revenue
source,
and
it's
so
much
more
closely
tied
to
changes
within
the
economy.
They'd
like
to
see
any
of
the
other
cities
that
are
that
have
this
reliance
they'd
like
to
see
us
have
higher
levels
of
reserves.
AA
That's
something
that's
very
important.
The
bottom
quote
there
from
Standard
&
Poor's
talks
about
strong
financial
management
practices
that
are
clearly
embedded
and
and
appear
to
be
likely
sustainable
for
the
future
and
I.
Think
that's
something!
That's
really
important.
That's
reflective,
our
City
Council
and
the
culture
that
you
created
for
us
and
having
a
conservative
approach.
AA
The
way
we
manage
our
finances
and
as
we've
had
council
members
change
through
the
years
that
continued
to
be
a
part
of
the
culture
that
starts
with
the
City
Council
goes
to
executive
leadership
and
it's
throughout
our
organization
and
something
I
think
that
they
have
seen
consistently
that
they
see
is
very
important
to
us
going
forward.
We
do
still
have
a
negative
outlook
on
our
rating.
AA
We
have
a
triple-a
bond
rating
from
both
Moody's
and
Standard
&
Poor's
Standard,
&
Poor's
has
had
a
stable
outlook
which
says
they
believe
that
we're
in
a
position
to
remain
constant
Moody's
has
a
son,
negative
outlook
that
says
a
few
of
the
factors
are
listed
here.
There
are
factors
that
are
out
there
that
could
put
us
in
a
position
that
we
could
see
a
downgrade.
So
it's
something
that
we
have
to
still
monitor
a
part
of
it.
Is
they
indicate
in
that
top
section?
AA
There
is
really
the
challenge
that
we've
had
with
our
economy
because
of
the
impact
on
the
oil
and
gas
industry
over
the
last
several
years.
The
effect
that
Bennett's
had
on
sales
tax
and
our
ability
to
be
able
to
balance
our
budget
and
our
reliance
on
reserves,
and
so
what
they
want
to
see
when
they
look
at
our
reserve
levels
and
I'll.
Talk
about
that.
And
then,
if
they're,
looking
both
at
where
our
reserves
are
by
comparison
to
the
total
overall
budget,
but
also
how
much
our
reserves
have
been
changing.
AA
On
this
slide,
we're
looking
at
the
budgetary
basis
fund
balance,
so
this
is
basically
cash
basis
fund
balance
compared
to
the
amount
of
the
budget.
So
it's
unbudgeted
reserves
on
a
budgetary
basis.
As
a
percentage
of
our
general
fund
budget,
you
can
see
that
our
policy
was
changed
several
years
ago
to
be
between
eight
and
fifteen
percent.
We
try
to
maintain
we've
been
at
or
above
that
top
level
for
several
years.
AA
One
of
the
things
that
you
can
see
here
is
in
the
last
year
that
it'll
actually
were
projecting
that
it's
going
to
increase
a
little
bit.
Our
fiscal
year
still
opened
last
fiscal
year
still
open.
So
it's
still
changing.
We
think
we'll
spin
down
a
little
bit
of
fun
balance
this
year,
but
much
smaller
than
what
we
had
to
last
year.
Last
year
we
ended
up
spending
down
about
eleven
million
dollars
in
funding,
so
the
comment
from
Moody's
was
really,
if
you
continue
on
a
path
that
we're
seeing
large
amounts
of
fund
balance
being
used.
AA
That
shows
that
you
have
a
structural
imbalance
within
your
budget
and
you're
having
to
rely
on
those
reserves,
and
they
don't
want
to
see
that
continuing
and
so
being
able
to
shore
that
up
and
only
use
a
small
amount.
This
year
is
a
very
good
indicator
and
it
leaves
us
with
our
lower
level
of
budget
this
year.
AA
We've
talked
about
that
when
the
budget
was
presented
our
budget
for
this
year,
our
general
fund
budget
is
comparable
to
the
FY
14
budget,
so,
as
the
budget
decreased,
even
though
our
fund
balance
a
little
bit
lower,
our
percentage
still
stays
up
at
that
place
about
15%
on
the
next
slide.
Here
this
looks
at
the
one
indicator
we're
talking
about
before,
with
the
sales
tax
as
a
of
the
general
fund
budget
or
what
percentage
our
sales
taxes
of
our
revenues
and
again
being
a
volatile
source.
It's
one.
We
want
to
monitor
closely.
AA
It
stayed
relatively
constant.
Really.
What
we
want
to
do
is
monitor,
make
sure
that
we're
not
allowing
other
fees
and
sources
of
revenue
to
fall
behind
the
cost
of
those
services,
and
so
it's
just
something
that
we
monitor.
We
can't
always
control
where
this
is,
but
we
continue
to
monitor
that
as
one
of
those
indicators
that
the
rating
agencies
observe.
So
with
that
I'll
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
might
have
all.
R
AA
It's
generally
not
I
mean
usually
it's
a
change
based
on
and
we
try
to
keep
our
other
fees
in
line
with
the
cost
services.
But
it's
really
a
lot
of
times
is
the
performance
of
the
sales
tax,
something
that
would
be
significant
if
the
change
would
be.
We
get
a
new
revenue
source
like
we
have
access
to.
If
we
were
able
to
get
access
to
property
tax
for
operations
or
something
like
that,
bring
in
another
revenue
source,
but
otherwise
you're
right.
R
Okay,
well,
point
is
I,
don't
think,
there's
any
projections
of
significant
population
growth
until
we
see
a
more
robust
economic
activity
in
the
city
area,
so
looking
at
other
potential
sources
of
revenue,
you
know
again:
we've
talked
in
terms
of
looking
towards
internet
sales
as
far
as
a
possible
new
source
of
revenue.
I
just
think
it's
time
that
we
try
to
elevate
our.
R
Efforts
to
encourage
Congress
to
look
or
assist
us
with
that
type
of
a
solution
and
instead
of
just
you
know,
mildly
asking
for
their
support,
especially
our
own
delegation.
Maybe
it's
time
we
become
a
little
bit
stronger
and
that
request
for
assistance.
I
mean
it's
a
policy
question
that
Ryan
Council
has
to
address,
but
I
think
our
our
previous
efforts
of
just
asking
just
isn't
and.
AB
Good
morning
this
morning,
I
want
to
discuss
the
council
priority.
That
is
encouraged,
a
robust
local
economy
and
the
priority
states
that
a
a
strong
economy
that
supports
job
creation
and
improves
the
local
tax
base
is
fundamental
to
our
growth.
We
selected
three
performance
indicators
that
we'll
go
over
this
morning.
I'll
do
the
first
two
and
the
mr.
Cranmer
go
lead
to
the
last
one
first
indicators:
the
number
of
people
employed
for
the
period
of
January
of
2010
through
December
of
16.
The
number
of
jobs
has
increased
about
68,000
to
a
total
of
600
39,000.
AB
This
equals
to
about
1.7
percent
annual
growth.
Looking
at
the
last
twelve
months,
though,
you
can
really
see
the
volatility
and
the
seasonality
of
our
labor
force
here
in
Oklahoma
City
as
it
Peaks
in
the
holiday
during
the
holiday
season,
and
then
it
declines
immediately
after
one
thing.
That's
good
about
this
one
in
the
last
12
months
is.
We
did
see
overall
you're
over
your
increase
of
around
5,000
new
jobs.
The
snacks
graph
provides
you
the
average
weekly
earnings
you
can
see
between
2008
through
2008
16.
It
has
it's.
AB
It's
been
a
steady
increase
that
has
had
some
declines
and
but
if
you
look
at
the
next
period
for
the
last
12
months
from
April,
the
16th
or
April
of
17,
it's
it's
grown
from
little
over
seven
hundred
forty-one
dollars
a
week
to
right
under
eight
hundred
forty
dollars
a
week.
That's
around
a
twelve
point.
Six
percent
increase
over
that
time
period.
AB
The
way
that
we
impact
this
is
to
one
of
them.
The
key
one
is
our
strategic
investment
program,
also
known
as
the
si
P
and
it's
it
helps
us
support
a
robust
economy
to
the
creation
of
quality
jobs.
It
was
created
in
2007
by
the
City
Council
and
it
was
funded
by
the
2007
general
obligation,
dinner,
all
the
gates
and
limited
tax
bonds,
the
total
seventy
five
million
dollars.
AB
It
is
a
program
that
supports
and
also
supports
the
creation
of
primary
jobs,
now
primary
jobs
or
jobs
that
provide
a
good
or
service
that
is
predominantly
done
outside
of
our
economy
and
as
brings
new
money
into
our
economy,
our
program
has
performance
requirements.
You
have
to
create
at
least
250
new
jobs
or
have
a
minimum
salary,
a
minimum
payroll
of
1.75
million,
and
one
thing
about
it
is
performance-based.
We
do
not
provide
funding,
hoping
the
jobs
will
come.
We
provide
the
funds
after
people
have
performed
in
some
instances.
AB
We
fund
infrastructure
to
support
our
projects,
but
when
we
do
that,
we'll
have
a
clawback,
but
by
and
large,
over
90
percent
of
our
program
is
all
about
performance-based.
After
the
judgement
created,
we
focus
on
strategic
industries,
bioscience
new
to
market
aviation
and
one
of
council
and
Maxie's
favorites
is
manufacturing.
We
also
focus
on
that.
One
too.
This
program
has
varied
levels
of
count,
abilities
that
companies
are
provided
required
to
provide
documentation
to
support
the
job
and
the
wages
the
capital.
AB
That's
all
for
the
sixty
three
million
dollars
that
we've
allocated
today,
in
addition
to
that,
as
Craig
just
alluded
to
with
our
heavy
reliance
on
sales
tax,
we
also
as
we
try
to
expand
our
sales
tax
base.
We
also
try
to
look
at
how
can
we
as
a
staff
as
a
city,
influence
that-
and
we
have
a
retail
policy
that
this
council
has
proved
over
ten
years
ago,
and
what
we
do
is
again
it's
a
performance-based
type
program.
We
haven't
done
very
many
of
them,
the
exception
of
the
first
one.
AB
All
of
them
are
formulaic,
where
it's
based
on
the
amount
of
sales
tax
that
a
particular
retailer
will
generate.
We
get
a
percentage
of
that
back.
That's
always
negotiable,
there's
no
standard
there.
We
are
limited
to
utilizing
only
the
2%
portion
of
the
sales
tax
that,
when
we're
working
with
the
cities
with
developers,
the
sales
tax
rebates
and
we
forefoot
call
the
sales
tax
rebate
most
of
the
time.
AB
In
this
case,
we
focus
on
what
are
the
net
new
revenues
we
like
to
look
at.
We
only
look
at
projects
that
are
large
and
scale
that
have
a
regional
appeal
because,
again
our
deal
our
focus
is
to
expand
the
sales
tax
base
of
the
city,
and
when
we
have
regional
draws,
we
can
as
long
as
we
can
increase
that
always
refer
to
as
increase
the
size
of
the
pie.
AB
So
we
can
have
provide
the
resources,
so
we
could
impact
people's
data
that
our
day-to-day
operations
with
that
again
its
regional,
because
one
thing
that
we
don't
want
to
do
is
cannibalize
or
sell
facts.
We
always
want
to
look
at
the
net
new,
and
so
with
that
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Yeah.
AB
R
Brands
then
we
go
back
to
the
slides
that
talk
about
average
weekly
wages,
sure
yeah
that
one
right
there
so
in
Oklahoma,
City
and
the
surrounding
communities.
That
shows
741
three,
some
point
in
time
in
16.
Now
the
next
slide.
We
look
at
that,
so
that's
from
16
through
17,
so
that
shows
that
currently
were
closer
to
840.
Yes,
would
you
please
locate
information
on
that
same
item
for
our
peer
cities
and
share
with
us.
R
You
know
as
far
as
average
compensation
I
just
like
to
see
and
again
we've
talked
about
it.
If,
if
we
could
really
get
our
innovation
district
to
be
successful,
I
think
that
has
you
know
great
opportunities
to
bring
in
some
employment
opportunities
at
a
pretty
good
wage
base.
You
know
lab
techs
these
medical
texts,
all
those
that
those
types
of
businesses
need
start
out
at
I,
think
50
thousand
plus.
So
what.
AB
AB
R
Your
honor
I
would
suspect,
given
the
time
frame,
that
it's
a
reflection
on.
What's
happened
to
the
economy
because
a
lot
of
people
you
know
either
directly
or
indirectly
impacted
by
the
oil
and
gas
industry,
and
you
know
that's
my
only
guess
at
this
point
in
time,
because
people
here
in
Oklahoma
will
take
much
lower
paying
jobs
just
to
stay
employed
versus
if
they
lose
their
job
going
unemployed
and
I.
Just
think
it's
it's
an
indication
of
the
quality
of
employment
that
we've
suffered
over
the
past
two
years.
R
We
can
talk
about
having
good
employment
rates,
but
I
think
a
more
important
key
is
the
quality
of
employment
and
I
use
the
term
quality
in
terms
of
dollars.
You
know
how
much
a
person
is
making
and
that's
one
thing
that
I've
yet
to
see
anybody
attempt
to
measure
and
report
on
is
quote
the
quality
of
employment.
It's
easy
to
say
our
unemployment
rate
is
this
or
that,
but
to
take
it
a
step
further
and
see.
Well,
what's
the
quality
of
employment,
something
like
this
goes
a
long
ways
and
help
defining
that.
So
thank
you.
AB
E
Z
Thank
you
good
morning,
mark
Cronenberg,
airports,
director
and
with
me
today
is
karen
carney.
Miss
carney,
of
course,
does
an
outstanding
job,
with
our
public
information
and
marketing
program
and
asset
she's
responsible
for
air
service
development
program
and
that's
very
closely
tied
to
the
number
of
employment.
So
a
new
project
indicator
this
year
is
for
the
council
is
to
track
in
claimants
at
Will,
Rogers,
World,
Airport
and
so
I
thought
it
would
be
important
also
because
the
word
a
term
in
claimant
may
not
be
universally
understood
by
the
public.
Z
So
I
wanted
to
find
that,
as
in
the
airport
industry
and
the
airline
industry,
it's
a
term
that
basically
means
it's
a
revenue,
boarding,
passenger
and
at
the
airport
and
in
my
budget
presentations
you
may
hear
me
swap
terms
interchangeably
employment
and
boarding
passengers,
it
basically
being
the
same.
We
track
our
employments
on
a
monthly
basis
and
we
report
them
on
a
student.
Z
We
track
our
employments
on
a
monthly
basis
and
report
them
on
a
fiscal
annual
basis,
and
it's
very
important
number
for
the
airlines.
It
represents
the
growth
of
the
airlines
in
your
community
and
at
Oklahoma
City
Will.
Rogers,
it
also
generates
revenue
for
the
airports,
so
from
one
inflammed
passenger,
we
have
the
opportunity
to
increase
our
revenue
in
various
airline
related
revenue
categories
and,
of
course,
the
number
of
employments
can
reflect.
Also
the
growth
in
the
community.
Z
And
look
at
our
employment
history
just
want
to
go
back
a
few
years:
first,
we'll
close
out
fiscal
year
17
which
ended
on
June
30th,
and
we
were
over
1.8
million
in
plane.
That's
pretty
good!
We
had
a
very
strong
second
calendar
year
quarter
for
2017,
which
was
much
better
than
last
year.
So
what
we
see
is
employments
are
starting
to
come
back.
Z
We
did
have
a
retreat
in
the
last
few
years
and
I
think
that's
mainly
due
to
the
retreat
in
the
energy
industry
as
as
Brett
was
talking
about
when
we
look
each
year
at
our
comprehensive
annual
financial
reporting
go
back
ten
years.
What
we
see
overall,
is
we
average
about
a
one
and
a
half
percent
increase
in
employment
growth
each
year?
Z
That's
considering
all
the
downturn,
such
as
9/11
financial
recession,
the
high
fuel
price
crisis
and
high
oil
prices
that
were
in
2008
and
2009,
but
overall
we
have
a
constant
growth
of
about
1.5
percent
a
year.
Now
we
are
anticipating
flat
implements
going
forward.
However,
we
think
that
will
be
increased
due
to
the
recent
announcement
with
Frontier
Airlines.
Z
So
there
are
several
things
that
the
airport
can
do
to
promote
employment
growth.
We
have
a
very
assertive
air
service
development
program.
I
mentioned
all
the
work
that
Karen
does
in
that
program.
We
also
have
an
air
service
consultant
that
we
have
had
on
on
the
contract
for
many
many
years
that
helps
us.
We
also
prepare
and
plan
for
growth
at
the
airport,
so
we're
always
leaning
forward
and
we
also
promote
development
of
airport
property
and
we
add
new
technologies.
Z
We
see
it
as
our
job
to
make
sure
that
they
have
all
the
information
they
have
on
Oklahoma
City,
so
we
can
put
it
directly
in
their
face
that
we're
the
best
choice
that
they
have
to
take
their
resources
top
great
service.
We
also
work
very
hard
to
keep
our
costs
low
to
the
carrier's
you've
heard
be
in
our
budget
presentations.
Z
This
is
an
example.
The
most
recent
example
of
our
route
map
you've
seen
this
before.
Also
in
my
budget
presentations,
and
now
we
have
23
non
stops
and
I
highlight
the
new
markets
that
will
be
coming
soon.
With
the
frontier
announcement
we
have
Orlando,
which
will
be
starting
November,
the
first.
They
will
also
be
flying
to
Denver,
which
is
frontiers
headquarters.
We
already
have
service
to
Denver,
but
that's
even
more
choices
for
our
passengers,
and
then
we
anticipate
with
frontiers
announcement
that
they
will
be
starting
San
Diego
sometime
in
spring
of
2018.
Z
When
we
talk
about
recent
accomplishments
and
I'm
going
to
go
back
about
three
or
four
years,
this
is
a
very
good
example
of
the
ways
that
we
can
enhance
their
service
or
in
claimants
at
Will
Rogers.
So
you
can
have
it
with
either
a
new
airline
come
into
the
markets
such
as
we
had
with
Alaska
Allegiant
has
come
in
several
years
ago,
and
also
Nell
frontier
is
coming
back
to
Oklahoma
City.
Z
We
also
have
new
markets
that
can
be
created,
so
you
see
Seattle
Los,
Angeles,
Orlando
Sanford
has
been
operated
by
a
legion
on
a
seasonal
basis.
For
some
time
now,
they
recently
started
flying
to
Destin
Fort,
Walton,
Beach
area
frontier,
again
beginning
Orlando
on
November.
The
1st
and
I
mentioned
San
Diego
next
spring.
A
couple
of
other
ways
that
enhancements
to
our
employments
can
occur.
Larger
aircraft
can
come
into
the
market,
so
United,
for
example,
has
gone
from
a
fifty
to
a
seventy
six
seater
aircraft
on
their
newark
route.
Z
What
that
does
is
that
created
the
opportunity
for
two
class
service?
In
other
words,
first-class
service
American
Airlines,
has
now
taken
a
lot
of
their
smart,
smaller
regional
jets
and
they've
gone
to
the
larger
mainline
aircraft
and
then
Southwest
Airlines
is
now
adding
more
frequencies
or
times
per
day
that
they
fly
to
Dallas,
Love
and
Denver.
Z
We
also
have
some
impacts,
tear
service
and
I
would
say
some
of
these
can
be
negative,
but
they
are
not
necessarily
a
black
eye
on
the
airport
of
the
community.
They
have
to
do
with
the
strategies
that
the
airline
is
employing
at
the
time
it
can
deal
with
aircraft.
Mergers.
Excuse
me,
airline,
mergers
and
aircraft
utilization.
Some
of
the
examples
here
that
I
have
is
Southwest
Airlines
and
the
service
that
they
discontinued
to
Atlanta
when
Southwest
Airlines
merged
with
Air
Tran
air
train
was
deeply
rooted
in
Atlanta
and
was
a
fierce
competitor
with
Delta.
Z
However,
Delta
reacted
in
a
big
way
to
that
announcement
and,
of
course,
Southwest
eventually
pulled
out
of
Atlanta,
not
just
in
Oklahoma
City,
but
with
other
airports
as
well,
and
then
we're
seeing
more
and
more
seasonal
adjustments.
My
airline
so
United,
which
was
going
on
a
year-round
basis
to
Newark,
is
now
on
a
seasonal
basis
and
Southwest
Airlines
now
because
of
the
route
map
that
they
have
expanded
in
Oklahoma
City,
now
they're
starting
just
more
seasonal
basis
to
a
Chicago
Midway.
Z
H
Z
In
fact,
here
we
are
so
some
of
our
ongoing
efforts.
These
are
some
of
our
talk
markets
that
we've
been
recruiting
for
some
years.
As
you
know,
we've
been
sponsored
a
couple
of
times
by
air
carriers
trying
to
go
to
Ronald
Reagan
Washington
National
Airport,
it's
a
very
tough
Airport
to
break
into
because
it's
a
slot
Airport
as
well
as
New
York's,
LaGuardia
Airport.
We're
also
focusing
our
efforts
on
the
Miami
or
Southern
Florida
area
and
we're
looking
very
much
at
Philadelphia.
Z
Philadelphia
is
very
important
because
if
you
go
to
Philadelphia,
there
are
lots
and
lots
of
flights
that
just
connect
up
into
all
those
cities
into
the
Northeast.
A
couple
of
airlines
also
that
we're
working
with
and
having
meetings
with
regularly
as
Spirit
Airlines
and
JetBlue
I
will
tell
you
with
all
the
airline
mergers
over
the
years.
It
is
a
shrinking
number
of
airlines
that
are
available
now
for
us
to
talk
to
these
days.
Z
Also
planning
for
growth,
I
mentioned
is
one
way
that
we
can
increase
our
employment
activity
and
a
couple
of
ways
are
we
doing
that
with
our
terminal
expansion
and
also
some
runway
and
taxiway
improvements?
Just
to
recap
on
the
terminal,
expansion
we're
reviewing
the
65%
plans
and
our
latest
estimate
from
the
consultants.
Our
goals
here
are
to
consolidate
and
streamline
our
security
checkpoint
at
four
new
additional
engaged
and
start
the
first
phase
of
a
East
concourse,
which,
if
will
eventually
have
nine
gates,
we're
taking
our
existing
checkpoints.
Z
Runway
and
taxiway
improvements
can
also
facilitate
development.
We
can
handle
just
about
any
commercial
aircraft.
Now
in
the
inventory
at
will
Roger.
We
have
a
lot
of
runways
and
taxiways
and
great
capacity
moving
forward
into
the
future.
When
we
have
these
improvements
that
enables
further
development
a
couple
of
good
examples,
we
changed
the
taxiway
Hotel,
which
is
the
north/south
taxiway,
which
is
on
the
far
east
side
of
Will
Rogers.
Z
We
change
that
from
asphalt
to
concrete
made
it
more
weight-bearing
for
larger
aircraft
to
facilitate
more
development
on
the
sides,
development
of
the
airport
and
Lariat
Landing,
another
one
that
we
just
got
a
grant
on
and
a
couple
of
weeks
ago
you
approve,
this
grant
was
to
extend
taxiway
golf
or
taxiway
G.
We
will
be
extending
that
taxiway,
east-west
across
L
Portland
into
lariat
Landing,
which
will
create
a
lot
of
larger
parcels
available
for
aeronautical
development
that
will
have
access
to
the
runways
and
taxiways.
Z
Z
Z
Z
P
Thing
I'd
say
the
last
four
or
five
years.
My
work
is
taking
me
to
the
East
Coast
quite
a
bit
and
when
I
return,
home
I'm,
always
so
proud
of
our
Airport.
It's
it's
beautiful.
It's
clean,
the
people
are
really
friendly
and
so
I
just
want
to
compliment
you
and
your
staff
for
what
I
believe
to
be
one
of
the
best
airports
in
the
United
States.
Thank.
E
And
I
have
two
other
city
manager
reports
I
just
want
to
mention:
there's
no
presentations
for
them
today.
First
is
the
hotel
and
motel
tax.
This
is
the
end-of-the-year
report
and
it
does
reflect
numbers
unaudited,
but
through
June
30th
and
the
hotel-motel
tax
was
down
three
point
three
percent
below
the
prior
year,
but
only
one
percent
below
our
projections,
and
it
was
good
in
the
fourth
quarter.
So
hopefully
that's
a
good
sign
going
forward
up
about
three
percent
in
the
fourth
quarter.
E
So,
looking
forward
to
that,
the
last
thing
I
wanted
to
mention
was
the
report.
That's
in
your
packet
regarding
the
federal
HUD
funding
allocations.
You
know
every
year.
This
is
a
legislative
priority
for
us
at
the
federal
level
to
maintain
our
CDBG
funding,
especially
and
I
just
wanted
to
report
to
the
council
that
our
funding
from
HUD
is
actually
up
a
little
bit
this
year,
not
materially,
but
up
a
little
bit.
Our
home
program
is
down
just
a
little
bit
again,
not
materially,
but
overall
our
HUD
funding
is
holding
its
own.
H
U
Again,
Mike
washing
2900,
northey's,
18th
Street
I
just
want
to
make
some
brief
comments
here.
This
strategic
investment
program
I
think
it's
very
discriminatory
and
it's
do
towards
protecting
the
interests
of
the
welfare.
Now,
according
to
what
this
gentleman
just
stated,
you
know
you
have
to
having
a
budget
of
about
personal
budget
that
is
about
them,
want
million
and
plus
now
again,
not
everybody,
especially
the
blighted
community
where
I
come
from,
and
there
are
various
businesses
that
would
more
than
likely
like
to
employ
people
who
are
round
them
too.
U
It
should
not
be
discriminatory
and
designed
for
those
who
have
money
already,
but
that
doesn't
say
we're
going
to
exclude
a
little
people,
because
you
don't
have
a
million
dollars
and
you
don't
have
poor
done
called
50
people
put
to
work
now.
If
you
start
out
small
I'm
know
I'm
told
that
you
start
out
small.
You
grow
large.
Why?
Because
a
lot
of
people
who,
when
you
put
them
two
in
an
employment,
just
gives
them
an
opportunity
to
reach
that
50,
member
or
employee
plateau
and
then
reach
that
plateau.
U
Then
you
that
means
that
a
brother
is
going
to
tell
his
sister.
So
it's
going
to
tell
her
friend
and
then
Johnny's
going
to
tell
his
friend,
but
for
the
most
part,
when
you
adopt
and
again
the
manager
stated
in
2007
that
this
council
adopted
this
resolution
or
an
agreement
to
incorporate
this
strategic
investment
program
into
practice.
Again,
that
is
a
blatant
disregard
for
those
people.
Don't
have
my
again.
He
just
said
the
program
is
designed
for
people
who
have
million
or
more
plus,
that's
not
Road,
cook
council.
U
You
have
people
today
right
now,
if
we
were
to
be
given
some
of
that
money,
that
this
sip
program
is
designed
for
the
wealthy.
Only
I
guarantee
you
that
are
blighted
areas
that
which
I
live
in
specially
northeast
23rd,
Street
and
Martin
Luther
King
and
go
heading
east
and
west
of
the
Main
Street.
A
lot
of
these
businesses
are
small,
could
use
some
of
this
money.
That's
given
toward
the
wealthy.
Now.
U
How
can
we
sit
here
and
consciously
accept
the
fact
that
we
are
given
this
money
to
only
people
who
have
a
million
dollars
or
more?
Who
could
put
50
people
to
work?
Do
you
know
how
many
people
are
not
being
cited,
can't
put
50
people
to
work
because
they're,
not
that
large?
But
did
you
know
that
the
10
of
15
people
is
they
can
get
off?
The
street
is
in
turn,
possibly
a
great
investment
for
our
community.
Otherwise
we
don't
get
anything.
U
It's
this
specialist
acting
and
command
finance
program,
which
is
going
to
the
wealthy
people
again
still
in
our
community.
Once
again,
the
36th
Street,
nothing
shopping
mall.
The
completed
16
stops
extry
stonewall
apartment
buildings,
that's
not
for
us,
that's
what
I
already
opulent
people
who
again
use
their
investment
to
build
and
in
turn
the
taxpayers
dollars
from
our
money,
is
going
to
fill
them
up.
You
see
and
then
now
my
community
can
decrease
it
more
and
more
and
more.
Why?
U
Because
I'm
not
giving
any
money
staying
to
one
bank
run
all
the
money
in
my
stores,
the
restaurants
and
everything
is
going.
What
to
the
people?
Don't
live
with
me,
but
when
I
go
to
that
place
and
buy
hamburger,
that's
not
staying
here.
It's
going
back
to
where
that
bank
account
is
that
place.
You
live
outside
thanks
Michael.
Thank
you
very
much,
an
honor.
Actually,
we
need
to
strengthen
senator
Ronnie.
B
W
W
W
W
W
W
Yes,
is
your
take
the
low-income
people
in
this
state
into
the
future
in
the
growth
of
Oklahoma
City
and
25
years,
we
went
to
23rd
and
sooner
road
where
it
had
a
recreation
sign
on
the
entryway
down
on
the
river.
We
took
kids
down
there
for
25
years.
It
was
in
25
years
all
the
city
had
to
clean
up
that
park
with
110
and
25
year,
and
that
was
because
some
college
kids
came
down
two
years
ago
on
the
4th
of
July.
They
bought
wooden
pallets
to
the
railroad,
had
them
all
stacked
up.
W
So
I
sent
my
security
down
and
asked
him.
He
asked
them,
don't
light
that
far
do
not
light
that
far
and
for
those
kids
college
kids,
they
waited
till.
They
were
leaving
out
at
quarter
to
level
and
they
set
that
fire
the
fire
it
burned
all
night.
We
stayed
out
and
to
make
sure
nothing
burnt.
The
fire
department
came
down
and
and
the
fire
was
going
down
running.
W
Certainly
the
story
but
see
people
all
we
want
is
what
we
ask
for
in
those
letters
that
we
we
want
to
reopen
this
area,
but
the
signs
are
still
up
today.
Call
it
a
recreation
area
but
string
of
pearls
park
which
seven,
instead
of
straight
to
22
miles,
but
they
only
developed
seven
point
five
miles.
Oh,
we
just
want
to
go
down
and
put
our
feet
in
this
river.
Just
want
to
take
a
little
gate
down
where
we
can
continue
going.
Alright.
U
Actually,
the
one
of
the
members
I
want
to
go
through
a
little
bit
of
history
on
this
woman
and
show
how
possibly
is
it
possible
to
wear
so
many
hats
in
government
areas,
in
other
words
occupying
jobs,
the
nipple
eyes
and
job
that
everyone
else
could
possibly
want
themselves
now?
Let's
take,
for
example,
she's
a
former
assistant
city
manager
number
one.
This
is
also
the
executive
director
of
urban
renewal
authority,
she's
now
also
the
general
manager
for
the
industrial
and
cultural
facilities,
trust
surrogate
general
manager
for
the
economic
development
trust.
U
Now,
let's
think
about
all
this,
you
use
these
trusting
things
that
these
ladies
have
involved
in
time
to
work,
and
one
woman
be
here
incorporating
and
taking
control
of
all
these
business
areas
and
opportunities
and
excluding
other
people
from
being
given
an
opportunity
to
hold
these
different
positions.
And
there's
no
question
in
my
mind
that
this
lady,
having
all
of
these
positions
like
this
here,
is
totally
unfair.
Unreal
we've.
