Description
The regular meeting of the Oklahoma City City Council for
Tuesday, June 13, 2017.
The meeting starts at the 3:00 mark.
A
B
Good
morning
and
welcome
to
City
Hall
we're
going
to
get
started
with
the
invocation
and
the
Pledge
of
Allegiance
dr.
Marcellus
fields
is
the
pastor
at
Allen.
Chapel
AME,
Church
he'll
lead
us
in
the
invocation.
Sports
fans
may
remember
dr.
fields
as
a
longtime
football
and
track
coach
at
Luther
high
school,
and
he
was
telling
me
at
one
point:
the
superintendent
even
had
him
drive
the
bus.
It
better
be
ready
to
do
it
all
in
our
schools.
Yes,
sir,
thanks
for
coming
down
dr.
C
Let
us
pray
almost
loving
father
who
wills
us
to
give
thanks
for
all
things.
Oh
god
grant
us
a
vision
for
our
city
to
help
us
dread
nothing,
but
the
loss
of
you,
because
all
our
curse
on
you
who
curse
for
us,
preserve
us
from
faithless
fears
and
worldly
anxieties
and
grant
that
no
cloud
of
this
mortal
life
may
hide
from
us
to
light
the
love
which
forever
dwells
in
us
directors,
O,
Lord
and
all
our
doings,
which
are
most
gracious,
favour
and
bless
us
with
your
continuing
help.
C
B
B
The
council
and
I
are
very
proud
of
our
Oklahoma
City
employees
and
with
4,000
of
them
on
the
payroll.
You
can
imagine
how
difficult
it
is
to
choose
one
as
our
Employee
of
the
Month.
We
have
done
that
today.
I
want
you
to
show
your
appreciation
for
Stephanie
Smith,
the
public
information
marketing
in
the
print
shop
Stephanie.
Where
are
you
Lana.
B
D
Stephanie
Smith
has
been
a
city
employee
for
five
years
and
is
a
production
specialist
in
the
public
information
offices
print
shop,
whereas
Stephanie
provides
specialized
printing
and
document
reproduction
services
knowledgeably
using
high
volume
print
and
finishing
equipment.
Stephanie
works
with
Department
contacts
throughout
the
city
to
ensure
employees.
Print
jobs
are
completely
accurately
in
in
a
timely
manner,
whereas
Stephanie
prints,
majority
of
the
print
shops
2300
annual
jobs
average.
D
B
All
right
we'll
call
the
meeting
to
order
on
item
four
of
the
council
agenda.
Let
me
hold
that
back
up.
There's
dr.
goodloe
here,
dr.
goodloe
is
driven
in
from
Tulsa
he's
going
to
give
us
his
presentation
on
em.
So
why
don't
we
let
you
go
ahead
and
do
that,
so
you
can
get
back
to
your
your
daily
work.
This
is
on
item
9j
in
the
council
agenda,
and
this
is
the
annual
report.
Is
that
right?
Yes,
that.
F
Is
correct,
mr.
mayor
always
pleasure
to
be
with
the
council
and
I
am
very,
very
grateful
for
the
opportunity
to
present
some
information
to
you
this
morning.
Also
very
appreciative
of
being
able
to
move
up
on
the
agenda.
I
am
leaving
directly
from
here
to
train
some
EMTs
and
paramedics
that
are
new
to
our
system
here
in
Oklahoma
City.
So
the
extra
time
you've
afforded
us
this
morning
we'll
be
in
good
hands
with
those
folks.
F
So
this
is
the
presentation
for
your
review
and
what
I
hope
to
be
your
approval
for
the
medical,
Control
Board
annual
budget.
The
medical
Control
Board
is
the
physician
Advisory
Board
for
our
EMS
system.
That
specifically
deals
with
the
medical
oversight
component,
independent
of
MCA
Oklahoma
City
Fire
Department
to
Tulsa
Fire
Department
in
a
myriad
of
suburban
fire
departments
that
comprise
the
EMS
system
for
metropolitan
Oklahoma,
City
and
Tulsa.
F
Joining
me
this
morning
are
several
members
from
our
office
of
medical
director
staff
David
Howerton,
who
is
the
director
of
clinical
affairs
here
in
the
metropolitan
Oklahoma
City
area,
Jamil
Raman,
who
is
our
director
of
health
information
services,
miss
Jennifer,
Jones,
our
executive
assistant
and
dr.
Curtis
Knowles,
our
assistant
medical
director,
dr.
Knowles
is
a
pediatric
emergency
medicine
specialist.
It's
based
here
at
Children's
Hospital,
in
the
owe
you
health
science
center.
So
I'd
like
to
point
out
on
this
year's
budget
that
we
have
always
continued
to
try
to
limit
the
cost
wherever
possible.
F
We
obviously
are
committed
to
the
best
emergency
medical
care
possible
for
the
citizens
of
Oklahoma
City
and
the
other
communities
that
we
serve.
There
is
a
slight
increase
in
our
budget
from
last
year,
but
both
last
year's
budget
and
this
year's
anticipated
budget
are
less
than
fiscal
year
1516.
So
we
are
always
looking
at
ways
to
minimize
the
cost,
without
obviously
sacrificing
the
quality
of
care.
I
would
point
out
that
this
system
continues
to
be
recognized
nationally
and
internationally
as
one
of
the
most
progressive
EMS
systems
for
sudden
cardiac
arrest
care.
F
This
was
featured
in
a
cover
article
in
the
Journal
of
emergency
medical
services
back
in
January,
which
is
the
most
widely
read
publication
in
the
field
of
emergency
medical
services.
We
also
were
featured
in
the
cover
article
in
the
following
months:
edition
of
Journal
of
emergency
medical
services,
specifically
looking
at
how
we
have
very
carefully
evidence-based,
clinically
validated
reduced
the
use
of
warning
lights
and
sirens
in
our
ambulances
by
66
percent.
F
This
results
in
significant
safety
to
citizens
that
are
traveling
around
ambulances,
as
they
are
going
to
and
from
the
scenes
of
medical
emergencies
and
obviously
increases
the
safety
for
our
EMS
personnel.
We
very
very
carefully
look
at
all
of
these
calls
to
make
sure
that
this
is
not
coming
at
any
cost
clinically
to
patients
and
very
happy
to
tell
you
that,
in
over
three
years
of
those
operations
now
we
have
yet
to
find
a
single
case
of
any
type
of
clinical
detriment.
This
is
recognized
as
a
best
practice
in
the
EMS
industry.
F
I'd
also
like
to
just
share
one
example
of
why
I'm
so
proud
of
the
over
4,300
EMTs
paramedics
and
dispatchers
that
comprise
our
EMS
system.
We
started
on
a
project
last
summer
that
looked
specifically
at
some
of
the
stressors
in
our
EMS
system,
some
of
the
mental
and
physical
wear
and
tear
on
our
personnel
that
was
contributing
to
some
early
departures.
F
Frankly,
EMTs
and
paramedics
that
were
leaving
our
system
much
earlier
than
we
would
have
anticipated
their
career
to
be.
What
we
have
done
is
looked
at
ways
to
provide
a
little
bit
more
downtime
between
their
calls
and
being
able
to
get
them
off
shift
at
their
anticipated
and
scheduled
end
of
shift
time
and
we're
doing
this
by
decreasing
the
individual
mission
time.
A
mission
time
is,
from
the
time
of
911
tell
that
ambulance
is
then
available
for
service.
F
We
have
reduced
the
typical
mission
time
in
Oklahoma
City
three
minutes
and
in
Tulsa
nine
minutes
now
that,
while
that
may
obviously
sound
like
a
three-fold
difference
in
Tulsa
realized,
the
typical
mission
time
was
already
a
bit
shorter
in
Oklahoma
City
than
pulse
it.
Part
of
that
is
the
advantage
of
more
hospitals
in
Oklahoma
City.
We
have
a
more
rapid
turnover
at
the
hospital
because
of
increased
availability
of
beds
here
in
Oklahoma
City.
F
While
three
minutes
and
nine
minutes
may
not
necessarily
sound
like
much
time,
it
adds
up
when
we
are
responding
to
over
200,000
calls
a
year.
What
that
has
done
or
your
EMS
system
is.
It
has
allowed
us
to
put
back
over
20,000
hours
of
ambulance
readiness
capability
in
our
system
at
zero
cost
to
the
citizens
booked
on
the
city.
That's
over
two
and
a
quarter,
ambulances
that
we
have
effectively
added
back
in
the
fleet
over
a
million
dollars
a
year
at
zero
cost
to
the
citizens.
I'm,
not
taking
one
cent
of
credit
for
that.
F
The
real
heroes
in
this
are
the
frontline
dispatchers
EMTs
and
paramedics
that
have
achieved
that
efficiency
in
your
EMS
system,
so
I
hope
you'll
join
me
in
recognizing
what
a
wonderfully
talented
and
dedicated
cadre
of
EMTs
and
paramedics
that
we
have.
We
are
collectively
devoted
to
not
just
the
best
care,
but
doing
so
in
a
very
respectful
manner
and
and
fully
recognizing
the
cost
efficiency
that
we
can.
We
don't
want
to
spend
any
more
than
we
absolutely
need
so
happy
to
answer
any
questions
about
our
budget
happy
to
answering
questions
about
our
EMS
system.
B
F
All
of
those
time
increments
together
comprise
what
we
call
a
mission
time,
and
so
we
looked
at
all
of
those
variables.
We
wanted
to
be
very
careful
that
trying
to
address
efficiencies
to
increase
efficiencies
in
any
one
of
those
intervals
did
not
simply
shift
at
the
time
to
another
interval
that
we
actually
did
trim
the
overall
mission
time,
and
so
there
there
is
a
certain
amount
of
time
that
obviously
has
to
be
expended.
F
On-Scene
good
fast
care
is
only
impressive
when
it
is
the
correct,
accurate
care
done
quickly,
so
bad
care
done
quickly
is
not
good
care.
So
we
have
to
be
careful
that
we're
not
speeding
the
clock
up
at
the
cost
of
the
quality
of
care.
We
have
a
brand-new
protocol
in
place
just
within
the
last
several
months
in
our
EMS
system.
That
specifically
deals
with
on-scene
coordination.
F
The
fire
departments
and
EMSA
are
talking
better
than
I've
ever
seen
in
nearly
a
decade
here
now,
so
there's
a
lot
of
efficiencies
to
be
there
and
honestly,
the
care,
as
not
only
as
the
care
not
suffered.
The
care
has
improved
because
of
more
efficient,
more
continuous
communication
between
the
agencies
comprising
our
system
I,
know.
B
Our
citizen
surveys
indicate
that
the
people
are
very
pleased
with
the
level
of
service
they're
getting
so
please
thank
your
staff
for
that.
Absolutely.
Thank
you,
council.
Having
questions
all
right
thanks
very
much.
Thank
you.
We
do
need
a
motion
on
this
item
to
accept
the
report
cast
your
vote.
It
passes
unanimously
all
right
now
we're
on
to
item
four.

G
B

permits.
Our
first

in
Ward
six,
it's
a
request
from
MTM
recognition
to
hold
the
run
for
recognition.
Is
there
anyone
here
representing
that
organization
come
forward?
We
will
need
your
name
and
address
for
the
record.
Might.
H
Well,
thank
you,
mr.
mayor
and
city
council,
for
allowing
me
to
present
the
sixth
annual
run
for
recognition.
It's
formerly
it
was
the
MTM
run
for
recognition
in
Del
City
at
MTM,
which
was
formerly
Midwest
trophy.
We
decided
to
move
the
race
this
year
for
our
sixth
annual
event
to
downtown
Oklahoma
City,
to
try
to
grant
gained
more
awareness
and
grow
the
event
for
Special
Olympics.
That's
the
the
cause
and
100%
of
the
proceeds
go
to
Special
Olympics.
H
B
Well,
thanks
for
doing
that,
is
there
a
motion:
it's
in
Ward,
6
and
Meg's,
not
here
to
bless
it.
Ok,
we
have
a
motion
in
a
second
cast.
Your
votes
passes
unanimously.
Thank
you
Mike.
Thank
you.
Alright.
The
next
item
is
a
revocable
right-of-way
use
permit
with
OKC
pride
to
hold
the
OKC
Pride
weekend.
Is
there
anyone
here
representing
OKC
pride.
I
I
Go
1,
1,
0,
0,
4,
wind,
Mill,
Road,
Oklahoma,
City,
and
this
be
there
are
29th
or
30th
depends
on
how
you're
counting
the
starting
point
for
OKC
pride,
but
we're
very
excited
and
motivated
this
year.
We
will
start
our
event
on
Friday
afternoon
and
evening.
We're
going
to
have
a
block
party.
Three
great
bands
are
going
to
perform
for
us.
We'll
have
food
trucks
will
have
festival.
We
also
have
a
fun
zone
or
a
family
zone,
that's
kind
of
a
little
bit
away
from
more
adult
activities
that
would
be
for
the
younger
people.
I
We
have
a
lot
of
families
in
our
community
and
with
our
friends
and
allies
as
well.
Sunday
is
course
going
to
be
the
parade,
as
parade
will
go
down.
39Th
Street
and
over
on
Young's
and
I
really
want
to
express
my
appreciation
to
your
city
services
department
to
your
Oklahoma
City
Police
Department
their
input.
It's
just
been
great,
been
wonderful
to
work
with
everybody.
Glad.
J
It's
a
couple
comments
about
this
year's
parade
and
festival.
This
is
not
just
a
parade
and
festival,
it's
the
largest
festival
and
parade
I
believe
in
the
state.
It's
enormous.
It's
a
hundred
thousand
people.
It's
a
it's
an
act
of
solidarity
and
a
celebration
of
diversity,
but
so
it's
essentially
a
political
event.
The
parade
you
have
many
many
elected
officials,
many
many
different
organizations,
religious
organizations
and
I-
want
to
echo
your
first
year.
J
Thoughts
about
the
police
department
I
really
enjoy
the
relationships
at
developing,
especially
last
year
after
the
massacre
of
49
people
and
the
interaction
between
the
participants
in
the
Oakland,
City,
Police,
Department
I
think
is
very,
very
healthy.
The
second
thing
I
want
to
acknowledge.
I,
see
Paula
Lewis,
Oakland
city
school
board's
here
under
her
leadership
and
Aurora
Laura.
Last
night,
the
school
board
unanimously
voted
to
participate
in
this
year's
parade.
There
will
be
a
school
bus
in
the
parade
and
and
I
think
that's
very,
very
exciting.
I
think
that's
I.
J
J
The
very
next
meeting
we're
going
to
be
presented
with
a
more
than
100
million
dollar
public
subsidy
for
a
convention
center
hotel
that
more
than
one
hundred
million
dollar
public
subsidy
will
all
go,
which
is
sales,
tax
and
property
tax,
basically
enough
to
find
110
officers
for
a
decade,
we'll
all
go
to
one
man,
Robert
Rowling
from
Omni
hotels,
who
has
evoked
protests
across
the
country
from
the
LGBT
community
because
of
his
endless
funding
of
candidates
hostile
to
the
LGBT
community.
He
also
owns
golds
gems,
and
so
there
have
been
protests
over
the
last
decade.
J
So
it's
a
it's
a
controversial
choice,
but
we
can
insulate
ourselves
from
choices
like
that
with
participation
in
parades
as
such
as
this
and
so
it'd
be
the
other
thing.
The
other,
politically
awkward
thing
I
would
say
is
that
as
many
people
as
have
participated,
hundreds
and
hundreds
of
elected
officials,
millions
of
people
observing
there
is
never,
in
my
knowledge,
been
a
elected
official
of
any
branch
of
government
that
is
of
the
Republican
Party,
whether
that's
school
board,
City
Council,
County,
Commissioner,
Sheriff,
mayor
state,
rep
state
senator
US,
congressman
u.s.
senator
governor.
J
Never
in
all
the
40
years.
The
30
years
that
you
described
I
would
hope
that
this
would
be
the
year
that
we
would
tear
down
that
wall.
There's
seven
of
us
on
a
council,
we
could,
we
could
march
with
the
school,
and
we
could
tear
down
that
wall
and
all
it
takes
is
the
first
act
of
courage
and
others
will
follow
without
a
move.
Approval.

Alright
item

is

single-family

if

Todd

R
B
S
Good
morning,
Tim
Johnson
with
Johnson
associates
one
East
Sheraton
Avenue
Oklahoma
City
Oklahoma.
This
is
a
case
that
we
had.
We
had
a
rezoning.
We
weren't
involved
my
firm
wasn't
about
that.
The
owner
actually
purchased
additional
property
to
the
south,
so
we
came
back
with
a
new
zoning
case
that,
with
the
neighbors
to
the
west
several
times
and
that
Planning
Commission,
we
did
receive
unanimous
approval.
The
immediate
neighbors
to
the
west
on
12th
Street
had
requested
that
we
upgrade
the
fence
and
which
we
agreed
to
do
and
change
the
language
in
the
PUD.
S
So
on
the
North
Block,
so
on
the
South
Block,
it's
a
it's
a
surface
parking
with
underground
parking,
underneath
it
serving
a
retail
center
that
faces
12th,
Street
right
across
the
street,
from
the
Shell
station
immediately
across
the
street,
from
D
T,
1
or
D
D,
D
1,
and
then
on.
The
north
building.
I'll
show
you
an
elevation,
the
building,
very
iconic,
building
matching
size
and
structure
type
of
the
Sunbeam
home
to
the
north,
the
Catholic
Charities
to
the
West.
S
A
S
So
this
is
what
the
elevation
of
the
building
this
is,
what
you'd
see
from
class
and
looking
West.
This
is
the
retail.
The
South
building
is
just
a
two-story
in
height.
The
PUD
allows
for
the
upper
level
to
to
be
utilized
for
residential,
but
that's
not
anticipated
this
time
to
be
functional,
cost
wise
so
and
then
the
taller
building.
We
put
a
lot
of
restrictions
on
the
restaurant
on
the
roof
pushed
away
from
the
neighborhood.
B
L
Randy
Malone
2:09,
Southwest,
89th,
sweet
F
I
represent
the
applicant.
Anyone
have
any
questions.
This
place
is
basically
not
been
there
about
50
years
as
well.
All
I
can
describe
this
is
a
honky
tonk.
It's
had
a
mixed
beverage
license
so
in
the
past
probably
fifteen
years
ago.
The
latest
time
it
currently
holds
a
low
point.
Beer
license
and
the
purposes
we're
here
today
to
get
a
mixed
beverage
license.
Okay,
I
did.
B
B
A
second
okay,
we're
on
item
9b.
Is
there
anyone
here
hoping
to
speak
against
this
item?
Okay,
cast
your
vote.
It
passed
unanimously
item
9c
is
an
ordinance
that's
being
introduced
today
and
we'll
be
calling
a
public
hearing
for
next
week
and
a
final
hearing
on
July,
5th
and
Ric
Wiccan
camps
can
have
a
presentation
for
it
morning.
U
With
this
change,
the
ordinance
would
still
allow
us
not
to
return
cats
if
they
have
been
abused
or
at
risk.
However,
it
would
eliminate
the
requirement
that
we
seek
and
obtain
the
permission
of
the
person
who
brings
the
cat
into
the
shelter
who
complained
about
the
cat
before
we
turn
it
to
its
place
of
origin.
U
The
reason
that
we're
bringing
this
recommendation
to
you
is
that
we
feel
like
we
just
start
maximizing
the
benefit
to
the
community
that
we
can
under
this
program,
but
we
anticipate
if
we
can
fully
implement
this
program,
is
that
there
will
be
fewer
cat
related
problems
for
our
citizens.
We
also
anticipate
that
the
humane
treatment
of
cats
will
improve
in
our
city,
I
think
there'll
be
fewer
free-roaming
cats,
pure
cat,
related
complaints,
pure
cats,
coming
into
the
shelter
and,
ultimately,
fewer
cats
being
euthanized.
U
Our
history
for
community
cats
in
Oklahoma
City
really
was
started
by
the
Central
Oklahoma
Humane
Society.
They
formed
in
2007
and
I
think
that
they
started
a
program.
Short
after
that,
we
actually
got
involved
with
them
in
2012
formally,
where
we
enter
into
an
agreement.
We
really
thought
we'd
return
about
a
thousand
to
fifteen
hundred
cats
at
first
year
and
we're
only
returned
360
in
calendar
year
2016.
We
returned
four
hundred
eleven,
which
isn't
much
of
an
increase,
and
this
year
were
anticipated
to
return
two
hundred
and
eighty
one
cats.
U
Overall,
the
news
has
been
good.
Our
cat
intake
going
back
to
2009.
Although
it's
gone
up
and
down
a
couple
of
years,
it
has
steadily
decreased.
We
think
that's
for
a
lot
of
reasons.
We
formed
a
lot
of
valuable
partnerships.
We
have
a
lot
of
really
good
volunteers.
We've
tried
to
educate
the
public
about
the
benefits
of
spay
neuter,
and
we
think
there
are
many
many
good
responsible
cat
owners
who
have
their
cats
spayed
neutered.
U
Our
staff
also
works
very
hard
and
we
do
a
lot
of
adoption
events,
so
things
have
looked
better
over
time
graphically.
If
we
look
at
the
comparison
between
2009
and
2016.
It
looks
like
this
that
dark
color
is
the
cats
that
are
euthanized
in
the
green
color
of
the
cats
that
are
released
to
live
and
from
2009
to
2016.
We
had
a
28
percent
drop
in
our
intake,
which
is
very
good.
U
U
U
Looking
at
a
couple,
cities
that
are
closer
to
our
size
and
Jacksonville
Florida
has
really
been
a
pioneer
in
this
program.
They've
had
to
decrease
the
fight
45%
in
their
cat
intake
from
2008
to
2016
live
release
rate
went
from
12%
to
95%
in
Indianapolis
Indiana,
again
from
2008
to
2016
a
59
percent
drop
in
in
takes
labour
release
rate
31
percent
to
90
percent
terms
of
community
complaints.
Jacksonville
returns,
5,400
complaints
in
there
8400
cats.
Excuse
me
in
their
first
year
and
only
had
12
complaints.
U
Charleston
received
only
3
complaints
when
they
implemented
a
program
during
their
first
year.
We
really
believe
this
is
because
spay
and
neutering
reduces
nuisance,
behaviors
such
as
yowling
marking,
roaming
and
fighting
and
part
of
the
benefit
of
doing
the
trap,
neuter
and
return
program
under
community
taxes
that
cats
are
very
territorial.
U
So
if
you
remove
a
cat
from
a
community
that
have
the
resources
to
exist
there,
then
another
cat
scan
and
probably
move
in
and
that's
going
to
be
an
intact
cat
and
that
cat
will
exhibit
these
behaviors
and
will
also
contribute
to
the
unwanted
live
births.
So
we
really
think
this
is
a
win-win
program.
Data
shows
that
it
works
for
our
citizens
and
our
cats.
It's
supported
by
the
the
premier
animal
rights
groups
in
this
country,
the
American
Society
for
the
Prevention
of
Cruelty
to
Animals
and
Humane
Society
of
the
United
States.
U
It's
also
supported
by
the
Central
Oklahoma
Humane
Society,
who
is
our
partner
in
this
program?
The
thing
that
we
do
is
when
there's
an
animal
related
problem.
We
respond
and
we
show
up
to
address
that
problem
when
the
people
who
created
that
problem
aren't
there,
and
we
feel
like
that.
We
shouldn't
just
be
reactive
to
those
problems
we
feel
like.
We
should
be
proactive
that
we
should
seek
out
programs
or
program
improvements.
They'll
actually
benefit
our
citizens
and
also
the
animals
in
our
community,
and
we
think
this
change
will
do
that.
V
Thank
You
counsel,
we
we
use
volunteers
with
traps
to
capture
the
cats
to
spay
and
neuter
and
a
lot
of
it's
done
by
just
residents
of
Oklahoma
City.
That's
our
wanting
to
help
and
so
and
some
of
us
are
recruited
volunteered.
Basically,
we
have
and
then,
since
we
only
made
society
has
several
volunteers
as
well.
Most.
B
Every
caught
cat
colony
has
some
sort
of
neighborhood
supporters.
It
seems
like
that
it
kind
of
look
after
them
and
try
to
make
sure
they're
fed
it's
a
bit.
Mice
hate
this
program,
just
guess
we're
reducing
thousands
of
cats.
They
wouldn't
have
been
released,
otherwise.
Well,
the
animal
welfare
departments
come
so
far.
So
please
thank
the
Humane
Society
for
us
and
that
you
know
the
cultural
shift
we've
had
in
the
community
about
being
responsible
pet
owners.
B
V
N
N
The
second
one
is
to
change
the
wording
to
basically
take
away
the
citizen
complaining
about
the
cats,
because
it
there's
two
different
types
of
people
in
this
that
we're
taking
away.
There's
one
that
says
that
the
citizens
complaining
about
the
cats,
they'll
have
say
anymore,
but
then
there's
another
one
that
the
people
who
are
bringing
in
the
cat.
So
you
can
leave
in
the
people
bringing
in
the
cats,
as
they
still
have
to
say,
but
the
ones
who
are
just
complaining
about
it.
They
don't
have
a
say
anymore.
N
I
would
be
fine
with
that
and
then
then,
if
neither
one
of
those,
if
nobody
agrees
with
me
on
those
two,
then
number
three
would
have
some
sort
of
a
test
period.
Maybe
a
Timmy
or
a
two
year
sunset
of
it,
and
that
it
would
we
would
see
if
it
actually
does
increase
the
the
rate
of
intake
and
then
the
fourth
one
is
just
at
the
very
least
if
it
passes
that
as
it
is
that
we
would
have
a
report
in
one
or
two
years
to
compare
the
numbers.
B
N
Well,
I
have
I've
had
more
conversations
about
feral
cats
in
the
last
three
months
than
I
and
I
ever
thought
that
I
would
ever
have
so
I
thought.
That's
why
I'm
sharing
these
thoughts
at
this
point
so
and
and
both
sides
make
good
points
and
I
feel
like
some
of
these
might
be
a
good
way
of
compromising
between
the
the
two
sides.
Oh
all,.
B
Right
thanks
staff
for
putting
all
this
together.
Thank
you
all
right.
We
need
a
motion
to
introduce
the
ordinance
today.
I
saw
an
arm
go
up.
Did
somebody
want
to
speak
on
this
today?
Come
on
up.
You
know
me
the
public
hearings
next
week,
but
you
came
all
the
way
down
here
and
I
hate
them.
Have
you
come
back
next
week.
B
X
Of
things
and
I
am
one
of
the
trapars
I
started
with
I
was
recruited
by
the
Oklahoma
Humane
Society.
Ten
years
ago,
I
was
given
a
lot
of
promises
at
that
time,
helped
us
eight.
We
were
going
to
be
a
part
of
a
king
help
with
fate
buying
traps
for
us
taking
all
the
adoptable
cats
plenty
of
volunteers.
X
None
of
that
happened.
It
happened
for
a
short
while
we're
on
our
own.
We
have
no
volunteers
for
paint
we're
buying
our
own
food.
We've
had
to
get
our
own
501,
C
freeze
and,
excuse
me
a
pike
try
to
try
to
get
some
help.
We're
I
fell
out
of
a
tree
broke
my
hip
three
years
ago,
I'm
not
as
strong
as
I
used
to
be
I
have
arthritis
and
both
shoulders
they're
looking
at
arthroscopic
surgery,
but
my
time
too
cautious
McBride
is
my
doctor.
X
B
X
I
will
be
here,
but
one
more
thing
I
would
like
to
say
in
response
to
they
respond
to
that
animal
situations.
A
few
years
back
and
I
can
get
this
arriving
from
the
supervisor
of
I
can't
think
of
it,
but
at
Baptist
Hospital
that
a
mother
cat
bad
kittens
on
the
roof
it
was
August
was
a
hundred
degrees.
The
mother
cat
could
get
down
the
kittens.
Couldn't
the
buildings
around
reviewing
those
kittens,
they
could
not
get
the
shelter
to
respond.
R
X
X
B
Right
is
there
a
motion
than
to
exhibit
receive
the
ordinance

right?
We
have
a
motion.
Is
there
a
second
cast
your
votes?
It
passes
unanimously
yeah
item
9
H
is
a
public
hearing.
Council.
Remember:
Doug
dollar
gave
us
a
presentation
two
weeks
ago.
This
has
to
do
with
the
annual
appropriation
for
the
fire
sales
tax
expense.
Is
there
anyone
here
hoping
to
speak
on
item
9
H
today,
all
right
cast
your
votes.
B
G
Y
We
just
have
a
brief
recap
kind
of
what's
in
the
budget
for
you
this
year,
as
we
look
at
the
total
we're
at
1
billion
three
hundred
and
seventy
seven
million
dollars
is
the
overall
budget.
Our
general
fund
is
down
just
a
bit
a
little
under
1%
four
hundred
four
point:
five
million
dollars
non
operating
funds,
238
point,
1
million
dollars,
see
a
slight
increase
there
and
then
non
operating
funds
to
a
significant
increase
there.
Y
So
our
bottom
line,
general
fund
budget
doesn't
change
just
some
of
the
allocations
there,
between
departments
to
reflect
that
change.
So
with
that,
then
our
total
positions
are
4642
for
next
fiscal
year.
That's
a
decrease
of
18
from
our
current
number
of
positions,
and
so
our
second
year
in
a
row
of
reductions
in
positions.
As
we
take
a
look
at
the
revenue
when
we
look
at
the
total
budget
again
one
point
three:
seven,
seven
billion
taxes
or
the
largest
piece
of
that
course.
Sales
tax
is
our
biggest
source
of
revenue.
Y
In
total
of
the
total,
it's
four
hundred
eleven
million
dollars
and
one
of
the
things
we
did
this
year
to
break
out
again
that
significant
maps
three
fund
balance
and
put
it
as
its
own
category
at
twenty
seven
point:
nine
percent
again
that
says
they
build
up
cash
over
the
years.
So
we
begin
to
pay
for
those
projects.
It's
developed
a
significant
fund
balance,
that's
now
being
used
as
these
large
projects
begin
to
go
under
construction.
Y
When
we
turn
to
the
general
fund
again,
taxes
are
the
largest
piece
of
the
budget
at
sixty
four
point:
eight
percent
sales
tax
again,
the
largest
individual
piece
at
fifty
two
and
a
half
percent,
or
two
hundred
and
twelve
million
dollars
and
I
want
one
through
those
other
categories
but
they're
there
on
the
chart.
When
we
look
at
the
expenditures
again,
personal
services
are
our
largest
expense.
Our
people,
that's
what
it
takes
to
provide
service,
but
again
that
Maps
three
budgets
significant.
Y
We
broke
that
out
as
its
own
category
there
on
the
chart
when
we
hone
into
the
general
fund
again
personal
services
become
a
huge
piece
of
our
budget.
Seventy
three
point:
four
percent,
because
it
takes
people
to
provide
service
to
our
citizens
and
then,
finally,
when
we
look
at
it
by
service
area,
you
can
see
within
the
general
fund.
Public
safety
is
sixty
four
point:
six
percent
of
the
total
general
government,
eight
and
a
half
percent
public
services,
a
little
over
17
percent,
and
then
culture
and
recreation
at
nine
point,
six
percent.
Y
D
B
B
We're
voting
on
item
9,
k,
kasia
vote
it
passed
unanimously.
Thank
you,
Jim
what'd,
you
hear
all
right
item.
9L
is
a
public
hearing
today.
This
is
in
regard
to
the
resolution
that
would
allow
the
council
and
I
to
call
for
an
election,
and
so
the
first
thing
we're
going
to
do
is
discuss
the
general
obligation
bond
issue,
and
so
just
so,
everyone
is
aware
there.
There
will
be
no
final
vote
today.
B
That
will
take
place
next
week,
but
this
has
been
advertised
as
an
opportunity
for
people
to
come
in
and
give
us
input
and
counsel
and
I.
Welcome
your
input
because
of
the
sheer
number
of
people
that
have
asked
to
speak,
we'll,
actually
to
keep
your
comments
to
three
minutes.
I
will
try
to
enforce
that
at
the
to
the
best
I
can
following
the
bond
issue
presentation,
then
we
will
talk
about
the
possibility
of
extending
the
maps
sales
tax
and
there
can
be
public
hearing
regarding
those
items
there
might
be
some
crossover.
B
Z
Xenophon
warrior
junior
and
I
reside
at
57,
12,
North,
Lodi,
Avenue,
Oklahoma,
City
I
would
thank
the
mayor
and
also
the
city
council
members
for
this
opportunity
to
talk
about.
The
various
concerns
we
have
here
in
our
particular
neighborhood
I
was
I
was
really
pleased
that
we
had
an
opportunity
decisions
had
opportunity
to
fill
out.
One
of
these
neighborhood
surveys
protected
by
an
issue
that
we've
had
that
were
filled
out.
I
want
to
recall
that
being
and
available
the
last
10
years,
we'd
undertake
the
program
we
have
with
that,
but
our
neighbors
helped
fill
this.
Z
Prepare
our
surveys
out
and
we
were
some
of
the
concerns
we
have.
We
were
disappointed
when
I
looked
with
various
projects
concerning
the
drainage
issues
that
affect
our
particular
neighborhood.
Our
neighborhood
is
at
the
intersection
of
North,
East,
50th
and
Kelley
going
on
or
if
it
is
east,
of
a
Kelley
Avenue
going
toward
the
Oklahoma
City
Zoo
they
have
through
here,
and
we
have
our
particular
neighborhood
we
have
through
there.
We
have
the
default
Creek
Basin
that
cuts
through
our
neighborhoods
and
has
been
been
causing
some
erosion
problems
over
the
number
of
years.
Z
Who
have
had
that?
As
of
our
last
week,
we
did
have
some
drainage
engineers
that
came
in
visiting
to
our
picker
neighborhood
to
a
little
tickle
house
and
to
have
issues
that
to
the
default
Creek
along
North,
stonewalled
and
also
North
Lodi
Avenue
to
live
the
individual
issue
that
would
have
with
it
and
I
know
they
are
in
the
process
adjust
for
their
just
weeks
ago.
Z
Today,
as
a
matter
of
fact,
I
know
they
are
in
the
process
of
looking
at
the
individual
issue
and
going
there
talking
various
different
types
of
departments
that
we've
had
with
it.
I
believe
the
engineer
that
was
there,
what
our
particular
partment
is
head
of
his
department
is
eric
weiner
that
looked
at
the
area
over
to
help
for
that.
Z
So
I
just
would
hope
that
the
council,
as
they
are
determined
final
projects
list
with
it,
that
we
can
possibly
have
some
relief
of
our
issues,
who
have
our
particular
labor
hood
and
maybe
get
some
some
part
of
that
six
to
four
million
dollars.
That's
been
certified
for
this
side,
drainage
with
the
bond
thanks.
AA
I,
can
it's
my
understanding
that
the
sales
tax
and
a
bond
according
to
a
press
release
would
invest
1.1
billion
in
the
city
that
would
go
towards
streets,
police,
firefighters
and
other
basic
needs
and
includes
an
annual
injection
of
26
million
dollars
for
day-to-day
operations
as
three
components,
all
of
which
will
appear
on
the
ballot
separately.
One
is
the
permanent
quarter.
AA
Four
hundred
and
ninety
one
million
is
dedicated
to
building
and
rebuilding
streets,
sidewalks
and
bike
lanes.
Twenty
eight
million
for
traffic
control,
27
million
for
bridges,
138
million
for
new
parks
and
improvements
to
parks,
sixty
two
million
for
drainage
control,
16
million
for
computed
community
development
funding,
45
million
for
firefighting
facilities,
31
million
for
police
facilities
and
another
86
million
for
additional
projects.
AB
AA
B
R
AA
AA
AA
Essentially,
is
a
continued
increase
in
sales
tax?
What
I
would
propose
and
with
the
continued
increase
of
sales
taxes
that
a
lot
of
citizens
are
upset
about
is
that
we,
the
people,
form
a
council
that
would
be
willing
to
meet
with
leadership
of
Oklahoma
City
to
arrive
at
some
solutions,
rather
than
continuing
to
incur
continued
sales
tax
increases
general
obligation,
bonds
and
incurring
for
their
debt
for
the
city
as
citizens,
that's
not
a
priority
for
from
for
us
I.
Think
many
of
us
would
like
to
see
much
more
fiscal
discipline.
Thank.

Now,
the
GOP
bond
is
a
great
deal
if
it's
actually
used
for
the
public,
who
really
need
y'all,
don't
give
me
what
I
say?
Is
it
every
day
I
come
down
here?
AC
Rather
every
time
you
have
a
City
Council
media
with
pretty
much
I
miss
every
now
and
then
all
I
hear
is
talk
about
is
sales
tax
here
that
another
GOP
bonds,
okay,
four
screws
are
different
than
any
but
other,
and
yet,
for
the
most
part,
I
never
see
what
this
man
is
actually
going
to
the
needed
community
of
people,
especially
not
in
the
school
district
and
things
in
the
northeast
side
of
Oklahoma
City.
So
the
GOP
bond
could
be
a
great
thing
if
it
was
actually
used
for
the
purpose
of
uplifting.
AC
AC
Have
the
wealthy:
this
is
not
only
Tom

yeah,
you
got
one
political
activist,
one
human,
being
who's,
not
going
to
cetera
and
allows
you
to
mimic
or
mark
a
force
or
actually
create
a
fourth
of
action.
Looking
out
for
the
text
billion
dollar
people,
we
know
that
this
GOP
bond
is
nothing
but
put
some
money
into
the
wealthy
individuals
who
have
a
personal
sacred
interest
in
downtown
Oklahoma.

We're
going
to
talk
about
this
tax,
one
percent
sales
taxes
regard
to
the
giving
it
to
police
officers
and
things
like
that.
AC
I'm
gonna
load
that
the
topic
when
that
topic
comes
up,
but
once
again,
if
we
use
this
GOP
bond-
oh
my
god
I
feel
good
about
it
and
made
a
matter
of
fact.
I
want
to
be
sitting
on
my
fact
that
council,
if
it's
possible
that
board
of
directors
regarding
it
when
we
can
get
some
real
direction,
that
money
being
spent
like
Toby,
let
me
be
a
liaison
okay.
Let
me
sit
back
and
review
a
documentation
to
make
sure
that
money
is
being
spent
like
a
supposed
to
be
now.
At
this
particular
moment,.
AC
Speak
his
mind
up
here
now,
one
last
thing
before
I
get
out
here:
I
would
like
this
council
to
create
a
special
committee
with
me,
Michael
Washington
on
it,
so
that
I
can
review
and
make
the
appropriate
steps
necessary
regarding
the
funds
that
would
be
distributed
in
this
regard.
Thank
you
very
much
and
I
will
be
back.
Thank
you
for
this
opportunity.
Everybody
thank
you.

Oklahoma

Thanks
for
this
opportunity
to
speak
I'm
with
sooner
poll
comm,
we
are
the
states
only
independent,
nonpartisan
polling
firm.
We
were
commissioned
to
do
a
poll
over
a
variety
of
issues.
One
of
those
is
the
NGO
bonds
and
I
would
like
to
present
those
today.
The
first
one
we
gave
respondents
a
brief
explanation
of
the
general
obligation
bonds
and
some
of
the
questions
arises
that
these
bonds
would
have
been
used
for
in
the
in
the
past.
AB
With
this
information,
we
found
that
67%
of
voters
said
that
they
would
support
a
general
obligation.
Bond
on
the
ballot
in
the
future
was
I.
Think
bodes
well
for
the
bond
election
in
September.
Only
fourteen
percent
said
that
they
would
oppose
it.
We
also
asked
about
the
economic
development,
which
is
one
of
the
14
I
believe
or
11
for
11
11
different
questions
on
the
ballot.
We
gave
them
a
brief
history
of
the
economic
development
bond
that
originated
in
2007.
That
was
the
first
time
it
was
added.
AB
After
giving
both
supporters
and
opposition
views
of
the
bond.
We
asked
voters
if
they
would
support
this
particular
bond
on
the
ballot
and
with
this
information
35%,
that
they
would
support
this
bond
and
47%
said
they
would
oppose
it.
So
while
there
was
not
a
majority
of
opposition
to
the
economic
development,
as
it's
listed
on
the
the
bond
question,
there
was
one
in
three
that
opposed
that
particular
question.
AB
The
last
one
to
discuss
here
for
the
general
obligation
bonds
is.
We
informed
respondents
that,
on
top
of
the
500
million
proposed
in
this
bond,
that
there
is
still
one
hundred
and
fifty
million
dollars
for
Street
projects
that's
being
carried
over,
and
we
asked
that
knowing
this
fifty
seven
percent
would
would
be
likely
to
support
the
bond
and
22
percent
would
be
unlikely
to
support
it.
AB
So,
even
though
there
is
a
carryover
of
a
hundred
and
fifty
million
adding
on
to
another
500
million
in
this
bond,
there
was
a
very
good
support
for
that
as
well,
and
so
that's
all
I
have
on
the
polling
for
these
particular
questions
and
I'd
like
to
speak
on
some
of
the
others
that
meets
with
your
agenda.
Thank
you.
B
O
warrior
have
made
the
comment
about
soliciting
input
and
surveys
from
our
citizens
I'd
like
to
take
that
a
step
further
and
just
recommend
that,
as
we
did
this
past
year
in
anticipation
of
the
geo
bond,
we
had
community
meetings
throughout
all
of
the
wards
and
to
continue
that
process
just
to
give
the
citizens
an
update
on
the
progress
of
those
expenditures
over
the
life
of
the
bonds
to
try
to
have
it
once
a
year
again
just
to
try
to
keep
them
as
informed
as
possible
and
continue
to
provide
opportunities
for
their
input.
Thank
you.

Morning,
I'm
Rhonda,
Hooper,
18-hundred,
Mulholland,
Drive
and
I'm
here
in
my
capacity
as
the
chair
of
the
greater
Oklahoma
City,
Chamber
and
I'm,
accompanied
by
Vice
chairs
and
executive
committee
members,
and
a
couple
have
some
remarks,
but
we
respect,
understand
and
truly
appreciate
all
the
needs
and
demands
that
are
you're
trying
to
fulfill
with
these
proposals.
Our
board
of
directors
met
last
week
in
a
very
lengthy
and
had
in-depth
discussion
about
the
needs,
as
well
as
the
proposals.
You
know.
AD
AD
We
also
understand
in
your
citizen
survey
that
you
had
mentioned
that
road
conditions
were
at
the
top
of
the
list
and
trust
me
in
our
conversations
with
existing
businesses.
Roads
are
a
primary
concern
if
you're
having
to
zigzag
within
your
lane
to
avoid
damaging
your
wheels
in
a
pothole.
It's
very
frustrating-
and
you
know-
we've
worked
together
very
hard
as
a
community
over
the
past
25
years
to
create
what
we
see
as
one
of
America's
finest
cities
so
bottom
line,
just
like
you.
AD
We
love
to
tout
our
accolades
and
the
top
rankings
that
our
city
has
like
the
best
places
to
start
a
business
or
the
best
city
for
Millennials,
but
one
of
those
rankings
that
we're
not
very
proud
of
in
that
all
of
America
cities.
Oklahoma
City,
is
one
of
the
10
worst
pothole
cities.
In
fact,
the
research
says
that
47%
of
our
roads
are
in
poor
condition.
AD
AE
We
urge
the
council
to
consider
an
alternative
proposal
regarding
the
sales
tax,
increasing
the
temporary
tax
to
a
full
penny.
We
believe
the
map's
penny
to
be
kept
whole
fall,
which
would
give
the
city
the
ability
to
address
more
street
resurfacing
needs
now
and
to
continue
to
use
this
portion
of
the
sales
tax
to
create
transformational
change
in
our
city.
We
also
hear
and
understand
the
citizens
demand
for
more
police
officers.
We
understand
the
council's
concerns
about
declining
sales
tax
revenue
and
the
real
need.
Our
city
has
to
address
this
issue.
AE
We
agree
with
the
permanent
tax
increase
for
Public
Safety
and
operations
is
the
right
thing
to
do
and
should
also
be
included
on
the
ballot.
Public
Safety
is
a
primary
function
of
our
city
government
and
making
sure
we
can
grow
the
resources
to
meet
the
demand
is
vital
and
cannot
be
ignored.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
AF
Thank
You
mayor
City
Council
once
again:
I'm
Judy,
Hatfield,
131,
Gina,
McGee
and
I'm.
Here
in
my
capacity
as
Executive
Committee
of
the
Oklahoma
City
Chamber,
we
want
again
reiterate
our
support
for
what
you
are
diligent
ly
working
on
to
accomplish
this
election.
Our
citizens
understand
what
it
takes
to
build
this
great
city
and
they're
willing
to
invest
when
they
can
see
that
we
can
make
a
positive
difference
with
that
investment.
Our
chamber
has
been
a
strong
partner
of
the
city
for
many
years
and
we
continue
to
plan
to
strengthen
that
relationship
in
the
future.
AF
We're
ready
to
stand
behind
these
proposals
and
run
an
effective
campaign
to
see
their
passage.
We
also
look
forward
to
working
with
other
community
groups
to
share
the
benefits
of
this
program
across
the
entire
city.
We
believe
we
all
can
win
at
the
ballot
box
with
this
proposal.
Thank
you
very
much
for
hearing
our
concerns
and
our
proposal.
Thanks.

my
wife
and
I
have
supported
every
Maps
bond
issue
and
endorsed
most
of
the
street
and
bridge
projects
in
the
latest
proposed
bond
issue.
But
I
have
a
couple
of
reservations
and
one
question:
why
does
the
city
want
to
spend
a
million
three
hundred
twenty
thousand
dollars
on
Hefner
road
between
Rockwell
and
MacArthur,
and
a
million
three
hundred
twenty
thousand
on
Hefner
Road
between
council
and
Rockwell?
That
two
mile
stretch
of
Hefner
is
in
rather
good
condition
already
I
Drive
it
frequently.
AG
But
my
primary
concern
is
the
plan
to
spend
six
million
three
hundred
seventy-five
thousand
dollars
to
upgrade
residential
streets
in
the
area,
that's
bounded
by
Rockwell,
Council,
122nd,
Street
and
Hefner
Road.
That
area
is
north
of
my
housing
addition
north
haven,
North
Haven,
is
bounded
by
Hefner
road
on
the
north
mantle
Court
on
the
east,
Northwest
101st
Street
on
the
South
Council
Road
on
the
west.
AG
As
I
said,
I
live
at
79
29,
Mays
Lane,
when
we
moved
to
Oklahoma
City
32
years
ago
in
1985,
nay's
Lane
did
not
even
appear
on
the
latest
municipal
street
map.
Harvest
Hills
off
of
Council
Road
to
the
west
of
North
Haven
was
the
only
development
in
our
vicinity.
North
of
Hefner
Road.
As
far
as
we
could
see,
was
open
fields.
AG
There
was
nothing
north
of
Hefner,
including
the
area
where
the
city
now
proposes
to
spend
6.3
million
dollars
to
upgrade
streets
in
a
residential
edition
that
was
built
after
hours
was
the
city
finally
came
out
two
or
three
weeks
ago
and
passed
a
few
potholes
in
the
asphalt
pavement,
but
the
ruts
are
still
there.
Alligator
cracking
is
still
there.
AG
The
spalling
is
still
there
just
take
the
entrance
into
North
Haven
at
a
hundred
and
second
Street
off
of
Council
road
and
continue
driving
east
and
you'll
understand
exactly
what
I'm
talking
about
I
do
not
understand
why
a
residential
area
that
was
built
after
mine
was
is
in
line
to
get
six
million
dollars
worth
of
attention,
while
the
streets
in
my
residential
edition
get
nothing
more
than
minimal
asphalt.
Paving
thank
you
for
you
actually.
N
G
AH
Good
morning
my
name
is
Hal
McKnight.
My
address
excuse
me:
sixty-five.
Oh
nine,
Lennox,
Avenue
and
I'd
like
to
talk
briefly
about
our
trail
system
here
in
Oklahoma.
City
first
would
like
to
thank
mayor
Cornett,
the
city
council
present
and
past
members,
the
Oklahoma
Sea
trail,
Advisory,
Committee,
Maps,
three
citizens,
advisory
board
and
the
parks
and
recreation
department
for
all
the
hard
work
and
dedication
that's
been
put
in
to
building
a
wonderful
trail
system
in
our
city.
AH
We
still
have
a
few
needs
that
are
still
out
there.
First
would
be.
We
need
to
connect
all
the
trails.
We
have
a
large
city
and
we
have
trails
in
all
quadrants,
but
we
need
to
have
connectivity.
I
think
will
recognize
the
greatest
benefits
of
our
trail
systems.
Once
we
connect
everything,
it
just
makes
good
sense.
AH
Second,
we
need
signage.
We
have
done
a
feasibility
study
and
have
a
master
plan
for
wayfinding
and
signage
for
our
trails,
but
we
lacked
funding
to
construct
signings.
That
would
be
including
trail
etiquette
for
trail
users,
safety
and
wayfinding,
which
would
give
you
directions.
Would
let
you
know
where
you
are
and
also
hopefully
at
some
point.
We
can
do
amenities,
but
those
two
things
seem
to
be
top
of
the
list
to
get
us
to
the
point
where
we've
all
dreamed
and
hoped
we
could
be.
The
trails
certainly
stand
for
quality
of
life.
AH
They
represent
health
and
wellness,
and
we
have
a
lot
of
momentum
from
the
trails
that
we
have
built.
We
we
still
have
a
couple
of
maps.
Three
trails,
one
is
under
construction,
which
is
the
Will
Rogers
trail
that
connects
Lake
Hefner
to
the
river
and
that
that's
already
started,
and
that
is
an
important
link.
We
think
we'll
have
a
lot
of
recreation
and
commuting
trail
use
on
that
and
then
the
final
trail
of
maps
three
will
be
a
trail
that
will
be
around
Draper
Lake,
which
will
go
into
beautiful
areas.
AH
It's
around
that
we've
got
a
lot
of
forward
momentum.
We
really
appreciate
the
help
that
has
been
there
by
the
City
Council
and
these
committees.
We
really
hope
this
committee
will
this.
This
City
Council
will
continue
to
help
with,
with
future
funding
and
the
general
obligation
bond
to
keep
this
momentum
going
and
let
us
let
us
continue
to
have
a
wonderful
trail
system.
All
right
thanks.

Good
morning
forum,
P,
Sheree,

Oklahoma
City
Oklahoma

1
am
I,
actually
I'm
wanting
to
speak
towards
the
sale
tax,
but
is
that
ok,
alright?
Some
of
my
concerns
simply
are
the
fact
that
Oklahoma
City
and
the
council
has
the
opportunity
now
to
show
that
we're
actually
wanting
to
be
supportive
of
education.
AI
I
am
a
parent
of
a
student
with
in
the
Oklahoma
City
School,
District
and
I
have
had
to
make
choices
and
try
to
decide
whether
or
not
I
wanted
to
provide
in
another
alternate
form
of
education,
simply
because
it's
not
conducive.
When
you
have
educators,
who
are
stressed
about
providing
for
their
own
families,
it
doesn't
make
any
sense,
and
it
doesn't
reflect
well
on
what
we
consider
the
great
state
of
Oklahoma.
AI
Oklahoma
City
has
the
opportunity
to
now
set
ourselves
apart
and
do
something
correct
that
is
going
to
be
reflective
of
who
we
can
be
passing.
The
tax
would
simply
say
that
we're
now
going
to
have
funds
available
to
where
we
can
actually
say
these
types
of
things
that
should
be
priority
in
Oklahoma,
City
and
statewide
are
actually
the
priority.
We
need
to
stop
giving
lip
service
and
supporting
other
things
that
can
find
other
ways
of
the
supported
and
focus
on
what
is
truly
important.
AI
What
does
it
say
to
our
students
to
our
children
when
we
don't
advocate
for
them?
What
does
it
say
when
we're
not
willing
to
make
have
the
difficult
conversations
and
discussions
with
those
in
power
who
can
make
those
types
of
changes?
So
I'm
asking
you
to
really
consider
what's
important
to
you
today?
Do
you
really
mean
it
when
you
say
you
want
the
cities,
Oklahoma
City,
to
be
great,
that
we
are
great?
AI
Can
we
find
a
way
that
we're
also
not
worried
about
our
educators,
trying
to
figure
out
what
do
I
eat
or
do
I
overwhelm
myself
with
trying
to
find
alternate
employment?
This
is
why
we're
losing
those
amazing
people,
let's
get
it
right,
Oklahoma
City!
Let's
get
it
right,
Council
and
let's
go
ahead
and
show
our
educators,
our
students
and
our
communities
that
we
really
do
care
SOS.
This
was
a
late
call,
save
our
state.
AJ
Good
morning
mayor
and
this
members
of
the
council,
my
name
is
Vanessa.
Kirsch
I
am
in
Ward
8.
My
address
is
80
41
Berkshire
Drive
in
Oklahoma,
City
Oklahoma,
seven,
three
one,
six,
two
I
am
an
educator
of
18
years
with
my
first
in
my
six
years,
the
past
six
years
being
here
in
the
state
of
Oklahoma
between
those
years,
I
taught
around
the
United
States
as
a
military
spouse.
My
husband
is
now
also
a
teacher.
After
separating
from
the
military
being
a
dual
income
teacher
family
isn't
easy.
AJ
We
both
take
on
extra
duties
to
help
pay
our
bills.
I
also
have
two
other
part-time
jobs
so
that
our
children
can
partake
in
activities
that
enrich
their
lives,
such
as
Boy,
Scouts
and
sports.
Our
Oklahoma
legislators
were
unable
to
put
anything
in
place,
to
show
support
of
our
Oklahoma
teachers
and
to
work
to
slow
the
loss
of
quality
teachers
to
other
states
or
to
other
kinds
of
professions.
Please
be
our
knights
in
shining
armor
include
teachers
and
support
staff
as
a
modification
to
the
maps
proposal.
We
need
your
support.
AJ
W
Good
morning,
mr.
mayor,
my
name
is
Reverend
Jesse
Jackson
jr.
I'm,
the
pastor,
the
e63
Christian
Church,
located
1139
North,
East
sixth
Street
here
in
Oklahoma,
City
I've
served
that
congregation
for
921
years
I'm.
Also
a
teacher
with
Oklahoma
City
public
schools.
But
my
claim
to
fame
is
that
I
was
once
the
Little
League
baseball
coach
of
councilman
Pettis
Yeah.
L
W
Among
us
you
know,
and
as
a
pastor,
you
know
in
an
Old
Testament,
the
monarchs
the
rulers
were
were
judged
on
how
the
kid
for
the
least
of
these
among
us-
and
this
is
an
opportunity
to
step
up
and
really
show
Oklahoma
City
has
led
the
way,
not
only
in
this
state,
not
only
in
this
region,
but
across
this
nation.
In
so
many
ways,
Oklahoma
City
can
show
the
way
being
innovated
in
saving
schools.
This
is
not
just
happen
in
Oklahoma.
This
is
happening
across
the
United
States
right
now.
W
W
That's
the
world
that
we
living
in
right
now
and
so
I'm,
appealing
to
you,
mr.
mayor
I'm,
filling
to
the
council.
When
we
consider
what
we're
doing
and
everything
is
important.
It's
no
doubt
everything
is
important,
but
how
we
treat
our
educational
system
right
here
with
show
income
and
businesses.
It
will
show
those
that
are
here
that
Oklahoma
City
actually
cares
about
its
citizens.
We
know
you
care,
but
it
was
show
that
we're
being
just
as
innovative
in
this
way
as
we
are
in
every
other
way.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
E
E
I
represent
public
education,
as
you
can
see
from
my
t-shirt.
I
knocked
many
doors
last
year
trying
to
get
into
office
so
that
I
could
help
the
teachers
and
our
children
from
the
legislative
standpoint
that
didn't
happen
and
as
much
as
I
would
like
to
think
in
the
future.
They
are
going
to
step
up
to
the
plate
and
do
something
for
us
right
now.
We
have
an
opportunity
to
help
fix
it
here
in
our
Oklahoma
City
Limits
that
doesn't
just
include
Oklahoma
City
public
schools.
That
includes
Putnam
city
schools.
That
includes
Bethany
schools.
E
E
What's
going
to
happen
when
we
have
no
one
there
to
teach
these
young
newbies
how
to
teach
our
poor
children
how
to
read
and
write
in
and
just
be
part
of
society,
you
know
I
appreciate
so
much
so
much
what
our
City
Council
has
done
over
the
years
and
improving
the
capital
improvements
in
our
city,
all
the
things
that
Maps
has
done.
It's
a
wonderful
thing.
If
we
do
not
help
our
children
with
them.
Nothing-
and
this
is
the
core
of
our
city.
E
There
are
the
ones
that
are
going
to
grow
up
and
we
want
them
to
live
here.
We
want
them
to
be
in
a
business
that
that
the
business
owners
want
their
kids
to
go
to
a
public
school.
So
I
plead
with
you
today
and
we
have
a
great
following
of
teachers
throughout
our
state.
Right
now
we
have
a
Facebook
group
that
consists
of
30,000
people.
E
So
remember
what
that
means
when
we
go
to
vote,
because
we
want
just
a
quarter
percent
to
go
for
education,
we're
not
asking
for
all
of
it,
certainly
certainly
not
for
what's
being
given
to
our
public
safety
individuals,
but
we
do
expect
to
have
something
to
keep
our
teachers
here
here
in
Oklahoma
City.
We
don't
want
them
to
go
to
Texas
any
longer.
So
I
appreciate
your
time.
Thank
you.
AK
I
won't
go
through
each
of
those,
but
want
to
say
thank
you
for
your
support
for
Public
Safety.
The
issues
that
are
before
you
even
before
the
citizens
of
Oklahoma
City
are
no
doubt
very
difficult
and
are
constantly
moving
you
trying
to
balance
those
and
address
them
or
I.
Don't
think
too
many
people
envy
your
position.
The
challenge
of
addressing
these
needs.
It
seems
to
be
a
consistent
hurdle
and
it's
a
constant
hurdle,
one
that
you
do
well
at
clearing
regularly.
AK
The
same
number
of
officers
answering
9-1-1
calls
at
the
cities
the
size
of
edmond
and
norman,
essentially
combined
without
a
police
department,
but
future
needs
order
before
us
can't
do
anything
about
the
past.
We
have
to
address
the
future,
and
the
facts
are
this:
that
it
takes
over
eight
and
a
half
minutes
to
write
at
eight
and
a
half
minutes
on
average
to
respond
to
priority.
One
calls:
rape,
forcible
rapes
are
up
20%,
since
2011
murders
are
up
60%
since
2011
last
night.
AK
In
that
hour
and
a
half
time
frame
on
the
east
side,
there's
an
80
w
a
drive-by
where
a
bullet
entered
the
home
and
within
90
minutes,
a
victim
of
our
city
on
the
south
side
had
her
home
burglarized
and
she
was
raped.
I'm
happy
to
report
that
our
officers
arrested
the
suspect
and
we'll
see
what
happens
in
the
justice
system.
But
we
don't
have
enough
officers.
You
all
have
recognized
this.
The
proposal
to
address
this
with
129
officers
extremely
appreciated
here
to
speak
in
favor
of
it
in
support
of
it
and
like
teachers.
AK
The
citizens
have
shown
great
support
for
Public
Safety
in
both
this
state
and
specifically
this
city.
What
what
they
have
it
shown
is
a
stomach
to
pay
more
than
the
current
four
and
a
half
percent
of
the
state
charges
and
the
eight
three
seven
five
that
the
city
has
and
as
you
look
forward
to
addressing
these
needs
of
Public
Safety,
the
proposals
and
the
resolutions
that
council
and
mayor
that
you
have
spoken
of,
we
support.
We
appreciate
and
think
that
it
gives
the
citizens
a
fair
opportunity
to
address
the
public
safety
needs
of
this
city.
G
AL
We
have
we've
tried
everything
at
the
state
level
to
get
funding.
They
have
dropped
the
ball
they're,
not
looking
at
new
sources
of
revenue
and
they
keep
feeding
us
pennies
and
giving
us
little
bits
here
and
there
I
understand
this
isn't
a
fix
for
the
whole
state.
But
this
money
is
huge
for
Oklahoma
City
and,
as
you
all
know,
other
cities
will
follow
suit.
AL
AM
Dr.
Harriet
Porter
live
at
624
North
West
19th
Street
in
Oklahoma,
City
I
didn't
plan
to
talk
today,
so
I
don't
have
prepared
remarks,
but
as
a
retired,
pediatrician
I
really
see
the
effects
of
our
school
districts,
difficulties
and
I
agree
with
all
the
comments
about
how
difficult
it's
been
with
the
state.
I
was
out
there
at
the
Capitol.
AM
So
it's
a
reality
that
we're
not
going
to
get
the
top
people
in
all
of
the
professions
here
and
the
young
people
who
finish
their
training
and
are
looking
for
a
place
to
stay.
The
first
thing
they
look
at
is
education
for
their
kids,
so
I
would
strongly
support
this
idea
of
diverting
a
quarter
percent
of
this
tax
increase
to
go
into
public
schools.
Okay,.
AN
Arin
council,
thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
speak.
I
am
here
to
speak
to
education
and
the
funding
crisis
that
the
legislature
has
put
us
in
and
last
year
we
started
with
thirty
one
hundred
and
fifty
dollars
per
pupil
funding
from
the
state,
that's
half
of
a
national
average
because
of
revenue
failures.
In
the
spring
we
ended
at
twenty
nine.
Fifty
we
were
held
harmless
in
this
last
budget.
That
came
through,
however,
that
did
not
fund
textbooks
and
that
does
not
account
for
the
projected
revenue
failures
in
the
spring.
AN
So
we
are
held
held
harmless
at
twenty
nine,
fifty
per
student
funding
and
if
we
go
into
revenue
failures
in
the
spring,
we'd
be
down.
Probably
another
hundred
and
fifty
dollars
per
kid
roughly
about
twelve
dollars
a
day
is
what
we're
being
funded
per
child,
and
that's
why
we
have
the
lowest
pay
teachers
like
48th,
49th
teacher
pay.
It
is
a
last-ditch
effort
and
it's
a
plea
to
give
Oklahoma
City
Public
Schools
a
chance
to
succeed
that
quarter
cent
equals
about
twenty
five
million
dollars
per
year.
AN
That's
not
even
that's
five
million
short
of
a
30
million
that
we
cut.
Last
year,
but
what
that
does
is
that
stops
the
bleeding
and
it
allows
us
to
get
class
sizes
smaller.
It
allows
us
to
give
stipends
or
bonuses,
as
you
will,
to
all
teachers
and
support
staff.
Non-Administrative
would
be
included
in
that
that
gives
people
who
are
working
for
us.
They
say
that
the
city
that
they
pay
taxes
to
believes
in
them
that
they
want
them
to
stay
here.
AN
They
want
them
to
continue
to
build
small
businesses
and
to
support
bond
and
support
maps
and
in
the
future
it
is
a
last-ditch
effort,
but
I
really
do
plea.
I
think
this
could
be
a
strong,
strong
message
for
Oklahoma
that
we
are
going
to
educate
our
kids,
that
this
city
will
be
educated,
that
we
will
do
what
we
say,
we're
going
to
do
and
these
parks
that
we
build
and
these
streets
that
we
make
better.
AN
You
know
if
we
improve
a
street
that
goes
by
a
school
that
we
have
to
close,
because
funding
continues
to
go
down,
then
it
we
really
need
the
street
and
that's
what
I
would
say
so.
I
really
do.
Please
consider
this,
and
if
you
have
any
questions,
I
would
love
to
meet
with
any
of
you
on
that.
Thank
you
very
much.
AO
AO
Oh,
that
the
state
legislature
failed
to
keep
its
promise
to
increase
funding
to
education,
the
school
bus
drivers,
special
education
teachers,
school
support
staff
and
classroom
teachers
in
my
congregation
and
in
this
room
are
hanging
on
by
a
thread
so
we're
here
this
morning,
because
you
can
fix
this
at
least
for
the
teachers
in
Oklahoma
City.
The
council
can
set
an
example
for
the
rest
of
the
state.
AO
AO
If
you
do
this,
emergency
services
and
roads
will
still
get
funds,
and
our
teachers
will
know
they
are
valued
so
much
winning
right
so
much
winning
there
I
would
love
to
be
able
to
call
the
7
of
you
here
the
Magnificent
7,
along
with
our
magnificent
mayor.
So
please
please
consider
rewriting
the
penny
sales
tax
so
that
our
teachers
and
our
students
get
some
of
those
funds.
Thank
you.
Thanks.

AP
Good
morning
John
will
mastic
I
met
four
three
one:
nine
North
West
59th
Street,
Thank,
You,
mayor
and
distinguished
councilmembers.
You
know
every
time
you
go
out
and
you
sell
this
city
to
people.
We
all
do
this.
We
say
we
love
our
town,
we
love
this
place.
It's
got
a
great
quality
of
life.
We've
got
a
low
cost
of
living.
How
do
we
get
that
great
cost
of
living
with
a
steady
supply
of
less
educated
workers
and
that's
no
disrespect
to
them,
but
the
less
educated
people
work
for
less
money?
AP
Our
school
system
is
demoralized,
weakened
and
underfunded.
We
need
to
do
something
about
it.
You
know.
Oh
you,
President
Boren
took
his
shot
at
it.
It
failed.
Some
of
you
worked
publicly
against
it
some
privately,
but
you
wanted
to
keep
the
penny
sales
tax
legislature.
We
know
they
failed
they're
guilty
of
malpractice
out
there.
So
here
we
are,
we've
got
maps
and
maps
has
been
outstanding
for
this
city.
AP
Our
teachers
are
demoralized,
they're,
underpaid,
they're,
doing
the
best
they
can
with
what
they
have
and
they
don't
have
support
from
a
community,
and
it's
not
we
need.
We
need
good
roads,
but
I
think
we
can
have
a
piece
of
this
maps
for
actual
kids
for
the
teachers
that
teach
them
today.
The
paper
I,
don't
think
it's
a
coincidence.
We
learned
that
the
district
gave
pay
raises
to
the
teachers
and
principals
and
I
guess
maybe
that
was
supposed
to
take
some
of
the
heat
away
from
people
wanting
to
talk
about
education.
Today
you
read
it.
AP
That's
what
this
says
I
would
just
say:
you
know:
we've
got
teachers
leaving
here
for
Texas
and
$10,000
raises
we
read
about
that
and
I
guess
we're.
Okay
with
that
in
closing
I
would
just
say
you
know:
we've
got
streetcars
that
are
getting
ready
to
come
online
and
the
price
of
one
streetcar,
one
streetcar
could
get
every
teacher
in
Oklahoma
City.
A
couple
thousand
dollar
raise
right,
right
and
I
just
want
to
say
why
are
we
okay
with
neglecting
our
children
and
putting
money
into
streets
and
concrete?
AQ
AQ
Verse
a
ssin
for
why
we
might
be
in
need
of
a
teacher
pay
raise
in
the
state
of
Oklahoma.
You
know,
I
find
it
interesting.
I
didn't
know
coming
into
this,
that
the
chamber
was
going
to
do
this
presentation
asking
for
a
whole
penny
for
roads,
but,
prior
to
that,
you
know
they.
They
spent
a
million
dollars
with
allies
like
Municipal
League
and
some
of
the
large
oil
and
gas
companies
in
the
state
to
sync
779
and
say
you
know:
Oklahoma
deserves
better.
We
need
a
better
plan.
AQ
So
what
did
we
did?
You
know
the
legislative
session
just
ended.
I
got
to
spend
a
lot
of
time
at
the
Capitol,
unfortunately,
and
that
didn't
work,
and
there
was
no
plan
ever
really
advocated
from
you
know
these
fine
folks
and
these
the
ideas
that
they're
here
today
asking
for
I,
didn't
really
see
that
up
at
the
legislature
this
session
so
now
we're
here,
apparently
looking
at
a
total
redo
on
maps
chambers
asking
for
a
whole
whole
penny.
You
know
many
education
allies
are
asking
for
a
quarter
cent.
AQ
If
we're
at
this
point
like-
let's,
let's
have
that
conversation,
let's
really
see
what,
let's
have
some
political
imagination-
I
mean
I
get
it.
The
roads
are
bad
in
Oklahoma
and
no
question,
but
the
schools
are
worse
and
as
a
young
parent
I'd,
rather
dodge
a
couple,
potholes
then
scramble
constantly
to
educate
my
child.
AQ
So
just
to
put
some
facts
and
figures
to
it.
I
ran
some
of
the
numbers
on
these
Maps
for
kids,
splits
from
2009
on
what
a
quarter
cent
twenty
five
million
dollars
would
look
like.
Oklahoma
City
would
give
about
seventeen
and
a
half
million
dollars,
there's
twenty
three
hundred
and
fifty
two
full-time
equivalent
teachers
in
about
twenty
eight
hundred,
almost
twenty
nine
hundred
support
staff.
If
you
were
to
give
them
a
temporary
stipend
two
years,
you'd
be
looking
at
approximately
as
seventeen
hundred
dollar
raise.
AQ
That's
not
insignificant.
It's
less
than
what
you
know.
The
proposal
out
there
are,
but
it's
it's
something
and
for
support
were
just
would
be
tremendous
for
some
of
the
larger
districts
around
I
mean
you
know.
More
would
get
one
point:
six
million
Putnam
City
we
get
two
million,
so
I
mean
this
is
real
money,
and
if
we're
you
know
now,
talking
about
you
know,
the
best
idea
is
to
come
up
is
to
keep
the
penny
whole.
You
know
we
just
saw
polling
and
I
know
from
knocking
doors
and
from
polling
on
seven
seven,
nine.
AQ
You
know
public
education
ranks
the
absolute
highest
like
if
we
want
something
that's
going
to
pass
with
voters,
let's
put
some
education
funding
in
it.
I
think
it
looks
like
I
might
be
running
out
of
time
so,
but
it
asked
that
everyone
have
some
courage.
You
know
really,
let's,
if
we're
not
in
agreement
on
what
this
should
look
like.
Let's
really
sit
down,
put
our
heads
together
and
come
up
with
something
better.
Thank
you.
Thanks,
Nick.
AR
Thanks
David
Glover,
54-34
Brookhaven
place
I,
don't
have
as
much
to
say
is
just
a
few
questions
and
I'm
just
going
to
read
them
out.
What's
more
important
people
or
things,
could
you
make
a
difference
today?
If
you
changed
your
mind
on
this,
can
we
rely
on
the
state
to
fix
this
and
fund
education
properly?
AR
Did
you
consider
education
as
part
of
this
or
not,
or
did
you
reject
it?
If
you
did,
please
give
us
your
reasons
as
education.
Was
it
better
off
during
maps
for
kids,
when
we
gave
one
cent
for
that
time
period?
What
do
you
think
companies
think
of
Oklahoma
and
Oklahoma
City
when
they
hear
that
we're
number
one
in
education
funding
cuts?
AR
AR
What
would
you
say
about
Oklahoma
City
if
we
stepped
up
as
a
city
in
Oklahoma,
City
and
and
for
the
ability
to
make
a
difference
if
you're
a
rural
legislator?
What
do
you
think
if
Oklahoma
City
started
doing
this?
What
would
you
want
to
be
as
a
rural
legislature
to
get
the
legislature
to
do
at
it
to
say
Capitol
when
students
and
teachers
start
maybe
getting
taken
from
the
rural
areas?
My
guess
is,
this
might
be
the
catalyst
to
get
something
done
out
there,
since
it's
only
for
a
short
time.
AR
AR
AR
B
AB
Okay,
so
the
continuation
of
this
I
wanted
to
just
point
out
that
and
I
will
take
any
questions
about
our
methodology
if
you
have
any,
but
as
far
as
a
sooner
poll
is
concerned,
we
have
the
highest
level
of
transparency
of
any
pollster
in
the
state.
We
also
are
among
one
of
the
few
national
pollsters
that
provide
this
kind
of
transparency.
You
can
find
all
of
this
on
sooner
poll
comm.
We
use
a
try
frame
methodology.
AB
It
is
one
of
the
most
scientifically
sound
methodologies
today
and
as
people
begin
to
find
other
places
in
which
to
make
sure
that
we
do
not
leave
anyone
out
of
our
population
when
we're
polling
we're
also
not
only
using
cell
phones
but
also
an
online
panel
to
speak
on
the
3/4
set
the
maps
continuations.
In
this
question
we
gave
the
voter
some
background
and
history
of
the
Maps
program.
We
then
asked
if
they
would
overall
support
or
oppose
a
continuation
of
maps.
55%
of
voters
said
that
they
would
support
a
continuation
of
maps.
AB
33%
said
that
they
would
oppose
it,
which
continues
to
show
that
maps
is
very
popular
in
the
city
of
Oklahoma
City.
Without
a
doubt,
when
we
talk
about
allocation
of
maps
revenues
we
asked
now
we
ask
the
voters
to
play
the
role
of
mayors.
What
we
did.
We
asked
them
to
tell
us
what
services
they
would
choose
to
allocate
the
maps
revenues
to
and
what
percentages
they
would
give
to.
Each
of
these
services,
as
you
can
see
very
popular,
is.
AB
Street
maintenance,
as
opposed
to
street
construction,
and
that
should
be
draw
a
distinction
today
for
those
Street
maintenance
is
filling
potholes
street
construction,
which
is
much
more
costly,
is
the
repaving
or
creation
of
new
streets,
and
so
I
think
for
those
that
are
paying
attention.
They
should
make
sure
that
they
understand
that
Street
construction
does
not
mean
that
potholes
all
over
the
city
will
be
filled.
AB
When
you
take
a
look
at
this
police
and
fire
is
very
popular
as
well,
but
then
we
also
added
what
we
call
the
save
Oklahoma
Public
Schools
as
a
proposal,
and
not
only
is
it
in
the
top
three
of
the
priorities
for
those
that
wanted
to
allocate
money
towards
our
schools,
but
it
ended
up
being
when
we
asked
them.
How
much
would
they
allocate
of
the
maps
towards
it?
32.7%
that
was
the
largest
percentage
of
any
of
the
other
services
that
we
asked.
AB
AB
Knowing
this
50
percent
said
that
they
would
likely
support
spending
a
portion
of
the
maps
tax
on
public
transportation,
and
so
again
these
are
other
options
that
the
City
Council
and
the
mayor
should
consider.
When
we
talk
about
Street
maintenance
and
I
mentioned
this
versus
street
construction,
you
can
see
that
the
largest
percentage
seventy-three
percent
said
that
they
wanted
money
spent
on
both,
not
necessarily
just
on
new
street
construction.
But
when
the
voters
understand
that
potholes
are
filled
in
Street,
maintenance
and
street
construction
is
something
different.
AB
AB
This
is
the
save
Oklahoma
City
Public
Schools
proposal
that
we
introduced,
and
you
can
see
that
and
I
will
point
out.
Let's
go
ahead
and
go
to
one
more
slide.
Two
methods
of
funding
and
again
all
this
can
be
found
on
sooner
poll
comm
at
a
later
date,
but
go
to
one
more
and
if
we
take
a
look
at
the
different
ways
that
the
city
could
fund
this
sales
tax
was
18%
income
tax
and
increase
a
replacing
the
income
tax
from
five
to
five
point.
AB
Two
five
percent
that
the
state
has
cut
was
also
popular
and
then
a
corporate
income
tax
was
also
in
popular.
So
typically
when
citizens
are
adverse
to
taxation,
when
they
see
our
schools
in
the
condition
that
they
are
in,
they
are
willing
to
then
dedicate
taxing
themselves
in
which
to
fix
that
problem,
and
so
I'll
get
some
more
that
we
can
talk
about
bills.
J
AB
AB
AB
Half
of
them
wanted
to
increase
taxes
of
some
sort
in
which
to
pay
for
schools
in
their
communities.
It
also
says
that
our
elderly
folks,
those
over
the
age
of
65,
who
may
not
have
kids
in
schools,
also
are
willing
to
say
the
schools
have
a
huge
benefit
or
a
huge
impact
on
the
vitality
of
our
city
and
our
communities
and
also
are
widely
support
of
using
these
one
of
these
measures
in
which
to
provide
funding
for
schools
all
right.
Thanks.
AS
I
am
here
with
Henry
he's
two
months
old
and
I
wanted
to
mention
that
we
know
that
Canadian
County
is
the
fastest
growing
County
in
the
state
of
Oklahoma
and
I'm,
a
realtor
and
I,
seen
here
from
buyers,
friends
and
family
that
they're
choosing
to
move
out
of
Oklahoma
City
they're,
choosing
UConn
Mustang,
Piedmont,
Deer,
Creek,
all
best
places
and
I
chair,
my
Community
Advisory
Board
for
Eugene
Field
Elementary,
which
is
in
war
war.
It's
our
neighborhood
school
and
I.
AS
Don't
have
kids
that
go
there
yet
and
I
got
involved
because
even
I
hope
to
send
them
there
in
two
years,
but
in
two
years
I
might
be
looking
at,
maybe
not
sitting.
There
may
be
moving
being
one
of
those
people
that
do
move
to
UConn
or
Mustang,
because
the
lack
of
funding
for
our
schools
I've
tried
my
hardest
to
reach
out
to
the
community
for
support
and
which
we
have
gotten,
which
has
been
awesome.
But
we
can
only
do
so
much
and
so
I'm
asking
that
we
allocate
that's.
AB
A
AS
For
a
short
period
of
time
and
see
what
the
results
are
and
if
we,
if
city
council,
wants
to
approve
it
in
a
few
years
again,
then
we
could
do
it
again.
If
they
decide
that
it
wasn't
worth
their
awhile,
then
they
could
say
we
could
say
no,
but
I
just
wanted
to
stand
here
and
let
you
know
that
I
want
the
same
opportunities
for
my
kids
as
I
had
when
I
went
to
Trenton
City
Schools,
currently,
I,
don't
feel
that
way
with
Oklahoma
City,
Schools
and
I'd
like
to
see
that
change.
AS
B
AC
AC
AC
AC
Is
all
designed
so
that
more
officers
can
be
on
the
northeast
side
and
to
perpetrate
it
basically
disrupt
the
african-american,
expose
our
community
as
well
as,
oh,
my
said,
I'm
60
years
old,
any
of
I
get
disruptive
disrespect,
but
you
want
to
know
what
Michael
watching
don't
mind
it,
because
Michael
washer
will
see
the
pole
can
wave
at
them
every
day.
I'm,
not
a
rape!
Oh
I'm,
not
a
robber!
I!
Don't
do
drugs,
I,
don't
do
any
kind
of
things,
that's
harmful!
Why
that's?
AC
Is
this
even
I
like
to
say
again
that
that
money
should
be
spent
as
these
great
illustrious
people
have
been
saying
today
on
education
of
our
kids?
Education
is
a
backbone
of
a
process
and
private
society,
hello,
educate
you
on
urban
educated.
Haven't
you.
You
think
that
this
farce
of
the
9-inch
case
of
our
upcoming
kids
upcoming
mirror
fine.
Is
it
for
last
of
the
day
just
think
about
them
as
yourselves?
AC
Let's
reverse
roles
here,
a
minute:
oh,
where
I'm
sitting
yo
CJ,
well,
Michael
Mick,
Cornett
I'm,
going
to
look
at
your
son's
education
for
you.
Yes,
I
will
I
thought.
City
Jim
counts,
James,
Council,
I'm
gonna
do
something.
Now,
let's
reverse
roll
back,
we
know
you're
gonna
do
it.
We
sent
us
an
Oklahoma
feed
on
the
northeast
side
of
Oklahoma.
City
african-american
community
would
love
to
be
respected
as
everyone
else
we're
tired
of
police
officers
coming
in
they're
disrespecting
us
three
or
four
kind
of
I
mean
ride
down
on
a
stoplight
outright.
AT
Lawson
2901
Brush,
Creek,
Road
I've
worked
for
a
IDM
for
30
years
and
retired
living
coil,
Creek
and
I
have
to
really
admit
that
I
was
out
of
touch
about
what
was
going
on
in
our
community
I.
Had
a
parent
on
the
northeast
side
asked
me
to
help
her
boy
that
was
12
years
old
and
got
a
chance
to
meet
the
family
and
ask
questions
and
learn
about
any
ridiculously
high
dropout
rate
in
several
low
performing.
So
the
ridiculously
high
and
I
said
how
could
I
not
be
aware
of
that?
AT
Our
Police
Department,
some
of
the
initiatives
are
some
of
them
were
nice
enough
to
come
and
speak
to
our
boys
and
our
boys
were
pretty
rude
to
them
initially,
but
after
they
came
out
about
that
fourth
time,
we
ended
our
program
with
some
of
these
boys
that
didn't
have
a
lot
a
lot
of
ambition
saying
they
want
to
be
police
officers.
I
was
so
proud
of
that
and,
like
my
point,
that
I
make
this
relate
to
the
taxes,
while
I
strongly
support
additional
funding
for
teachers.
AT
I
also
think
that
we
might
want
to
look
at
expanding
mentoring
programs
so
that
we
can
change
this
pipeline
from
education
to
prison.
We
spend
so
much
money
in
city
in
our
state
on
prison
and
if
we
could
invest
some
money
on
the
frame
to
these
middle
school
boys
and
girls
that
are
at
these
schools
that
are
low
performing,
we
can
make
our
city
better
and
our
state
better,
and
also
at
least
for
me,
you
can
sleep
better
at
night.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thanks.
B
O
Honor,
it's
it's
more
of
a
question
at
this
point
concerning
how
to
state
fund
school
districts
in
Oklahoma,
I
think
the
goal
is
to
try
to
keep
school
districts
funded
somewhat
equally.
So
if
the
city
Oklahoma
City
public
school
district
were
to
receive
additional
funding,
just
hypothetical
from
the
city,
not
that
they
would,
but
could
the
state
then
reduce
their
funding
once
they
saw
here
is
additional
source
of
revenue
coming
into
the
school
district.
I
mean.
X
AB
T
O
I
share
those
concerns:
I've
not
read
the
articles,
so
I'm,
sorry,
I,
don't
know
what
that
discussed,
but
I
do
think.
In
general,
the
state
has
that
ability,
and
so
if
additional
sources
of
revenue
come
in
I
think
they
do
have
the
ability,
at
least
that's
my
interpretation
of
reducing
their
subsidy
to
that
school
district
in
an
effort
to
keep
all
school
districts
somewhat
equal.
The
comment
about
us
leading
the
way
I've
given
up
on
our
legislature,
especially
well
I,
don't
know
if
it's
just
the
rural
legislators.
O
They
really
don't
have
much
interest
in
what
we
do
at
times
and
so
I
would
be
concerned
that
they
would
just
look
upon
us
as
a
as
a
means
to
get
them
out
of
a
jam.
I
mean
this
is
really
a
state,
as
well
as
a
local
finding
issue,
but
the
state
certainly
has
dropped
the
ball
with
respect
to
their
responsibilities.
For
this
it
wouldn't
encourage
them
to
change.
In
my
opinion,
it
would
they.
J
Just
addressing
the
school
component
first
I,
don't
pretend
like
this
is
an
ideal
solution.
It's
a
desperate
act
for
a
desperate
time,
I
think
governor
Palin
and
others
have
basically
conceded
nothing's
going
to
happen
at
the
legislature
next
year
in
an
election
year.
So
I
think
many
of
us
feel
like.
We
cannot
wait
a
minimum
of
two
years
for
something
to
happen,
so
we
need
to
try
and
make
something
happen
to
at
least
address
Oakland,
City
Schools,
and
that
mayor
Bynum
made
it
a
good
case
for
that
in
the
op-ed
that
you
cited.
J
We've
researched
this
for
many
many
months.
We've
asked
a
lot
of
the
questions
that
you're
that
you're
asking
I
believe
that
you
could
fund
Oakland,
City
Schools
with
sales
tax.
I
also
believe
that
you
could
find
Oakland
City
schools
with
income
tax
I.
Believe,
if
you
try
to
do
that
with
property
tax,
you
would
have
a
penalty
in
terms
of
the
school.
J
The
state
funding
formula
but
I,
don't
think
that
that
applies
to
sales
tax
I,
don't
think
that
applies
to
income
tax,
Enid,
Elk,
City
and
Lawton
have
all
passed
city
sales
tax
to
fund
their
schools
and
Pottawattamie
County
did
the
same.
Pottawattamie
County
is
capital
and,
and
that's
that's,
been
the
focus,
as
was
our
maps
for
Kids
program,
but
here's
the
bottom
line.
If
anyone
has
or.
J
J
So
if
there's
another
plan
that
I
can
jump
on
I'd
love
to
do
that
and
I'm
sure
others
would
also,
but
we
have
talked
to
death
about
Oakland,
City,
Schools
and
their
condition
being
the
key
to
corporate
retention
being
the
key
to
corporate
recruitment
being
the
key
to
neighborhood.
Revitalization
being
the
key
to
economic
development,
the
Brookings
Institute
report
says
Oklahoma
City.
You
are
running
out
of
time.
That
is
the
most
haunting
sentence
of
that
whole
study
is,
you
are
running
out
of
time
and
you
have
to
do
something
now.
J
So
if
there's
an
alternative
proposal,
I'd
love
to
hear
it,
but
the
polling
clearly
shows
that
the
people
want
the
city
of
Oklahoma
City
to
intervene,
and
if
you,
if
you
intervened
in
some
way,
the
odds
of
a
bit
all
passing
increases
significantly
I
think
one
five
we
didn't
show
is
that
if
you
add
education,
you
do
half
of
a
penny
for
operations
that
opposed
to
1/4.
Voters
prefer
at
two
and
a
half
to
one
I
think
you
did
virtually
guarantee
passage.
J
J
Many
people
felt
that
that
was
never
should
have
happened,
that
they
based
it
on
projections
in
December
that
were
faulty
and
as
soon
as
the
real
numbers
came
in
in
February
March,
it
was
clear
they
never
should
have
cut
that
last
quarter
percent
from
five
point:
two
five
to
five
percent.
So
on
a
temporary
basis
for
just
four
years
until
the
legislature
comes
up
with
a
different
solution,
we
can
roll
back
that
last
quarter.
Percent
income
tax,
cut,
collect
the
money
and
distribute
stipends
on
it.
J
Annual
or
biannual
basis
to
the
teachers
and
support
set
I
think
it
is
important
to
remember
the
support
staff
because
in
Oklahoma
City
Schools
we
have
countless
janitors
cafeteria
workers
to
the
principle.
It's
working
for
$13,000
a
year,
that's
less
than
minimum
wage
on
an
annual
scale,
but
because
it's
only
a
10
month
school
year
we
that's
how
they
pay
them.
Thirteen
thousand
dollars
a
year.
It's
not
so
it
is.
J
It
is
an
absolute
crisis,
but
you
could
you
could
run
an
income
tax
that
just
on
a
temporary
basis,
with
the
same
kind
of
sunset
that
has
made
the
maps
program
popular.
We
could
put
that
on
a
ballot
of
the
people.
The
council
could
do
that
if
the
council
did
not
want
to
do
that,
which
I
understand
the
political
sensitivities
about
the
polling
aside,
then
we
could
run
an
initiative
petition
and
and
collect
the
signatures
require
roughly
12,000.
Obviously,
you'd
want
to
get
a
lot
more
and
you
could
then
do
do
that
proposal.
J
Where
you
collected
the
money,
fifty
percent
went
to
school
textbooks
and
to
try
and
decrease
class
size.
Fifty
percent
goes
to
annual
bonuses
to
the
teachers
and
and
support
staff.
It's
not,
it
only
stops
the
hemorrhaging.
It's
not
it's,
not
a
solution,
but
it
tells
each
teacher.
That's
thinking
about
relocating
to
Texas
or
Arkansas.
Just
hang
on
one
more
year
is
hang
on
and
give
us
a
chance,
because
the
people
of
Oklahoma
City
want
this.
It's
growing.
J
It's
coming
to
a
head
pain
is
what
induces
change
in
behavior
and
the
pain
is
growing
and
so
and
to
give
them
some
hope
there
would
be
some
action
from
the
council.
So
what
I
would
ask
is
that
again,
these
are
not
mutually
exclusive.
You
could
put
a
quarter
of
a
penny
on
the
sales
tax
and
a
quarter
of
a
percent
income
tax.
If
you
decide
to
do
neither
and
just
give
us
a
clear
runway
for
launch,
let
us
try.
J
Let
us
go
to
the
Oklahoma
Tax
Commission
and
ask
the
questions
that
have
never
been
asked
before.
No
city
has
done
an
income
tax
before
we've
initiated
those
conversations
with
the
Oklahoma
Tax
Commission
governor
Walters
has
been
very
helpful.
I
need
to
solve
some
of
those
logistical
questions.
I
need
Craig,
Freeman,
our
treasurer,
a
palm
killer
and
I
need
Kennedy,
Jordan
and,
and
whoever
else
Kenny
Jordan
would
need
and
I
get
pon
Killa
and
Freeman
I
need
city
manager.
J
Okay,
that
the
municipal
councillors
office
I
need
five
people
in
the
council
to
let
us
do
this.
I
need
five
up
here.
So
if
you
have
another
solution,
that's
great,
if
not
just
give
us
a
clear
runway
to
launch,
let
us
explore
with
the
Oklahoma
Tax
Commission
any
unintended
consequences.
We
need
to
figure
out
if
we
were
to
do
this.
What
what
are
the
unintended
consequences
in
terms
of
the
funding
formula
which
you're
bringing
up
what
else
would
happen
if
a
city
were
to
do
a
temporary
income
tax
and
I
need
your
help?
O
O
You'll
see
economic
activity
moved
to
them,
because
those
wages
within
that
you
know
community,
like
Metheny,
would
be
exempt
from
the
city
of
Oklahoma
City's
income
tax,
so
you've
got
a
lot
of
issues.
You'd
see
migration
outside
of
the
city
limits,
and,
and
so,
if
you're
going
to
do
it
solely
for
funding,
Oklahoma,
City,
Public,
Schools,
education,
I
think
you've
got
a
big
challenge
in
front
of
you
now.
If.
O
Is
really
challenged:
ish,
okay,
so
I'm
just
throwing
that
out
there
to
give
you
a
heads
up
as
an
alternative
that
you
asked
for
so
my
daughter-in-law
is
a
second
grade
teacher
in
a
school
district
in
Tennessee,
and
she
about
20%
of
her
salary
is
funded
through
contributions
from
businesses
and
individuals
and
that's
not
uncommon
in
school
districts
in
Tennessee,
the
citizens
of
Tennessee
recognized
the
importance
of
quality
education
and
are
willing
to
provide
funding.
You
know
for
teacher
salaries
and
they'd
strictly
teacher
salaries,
that
these
contributions
go
for.
O
They've
got
public
school
foundations
for
these
school
districts,
but
the
money
does
not
go
through
that
many
times.
Those
foundations
are
great
at
raising
money,
but
it's
dispersement
of
funding
of
monies
where
they
fall
short,
and
so
these
monies
are
contributed
directly
to
the
school
districts
and
it's
it's
not
uncommon,
for
20%
of
a
salary
to
be
funded
from
contributions,
and
it's
consistent
year
after
year
after
year,
again.
J
Those
aren't
mutually
exclusive
and
you
could
do
both.
You
could
certainly
have
donations
from
the
business
community
and
private
individuals
and
I
know
I.
Think
what
I
know
what
the
challenges
are
at
the
Oklahoma
Tax
Commission
in
terms
of
collection,
I,
don't
know,
potentially
what
any
unintended
consequences
and
I
need
the
personnel
that
I
talked
about
to
have
to
put
all
that
experiencing
and
brain
power
in
one
room
and
trying
to
figure
it
out.
You
have
to
pay
a
vendor
to
set
up
the--.
It's
never
been
done
before.
J
There's
their
set-up
cost,
because
no
city
has
had
an
income
tax
once
you
pay
that
upfront
the--
than
any
city
in
in
oklahoma,
can
do
it
and
it's
relatively
cheap
going
forward.
You
have
issues
of.
Do
employers
do
withholding
and
I
think
that
we've
figured
out
that
we
would
not
do
that,
and
so
I
think
that
we've
already
worked
through
in
our
conversations
with
the
Oklahoma
Tax
Commission
a
lot
of
the
issues.
There
is
more
work
to
be
done
and
I.
O
J
We
can
and
I
can
explain
or
I,
don't
think
that
they
can
but
we're
talking
about.
If
somebody
makes
a
median
income
of
$30,000
right,
I
mean
they're,
then
they
pay
their
federal,
and
so
your
taxable
income
I
mean
it
might
be
10,000
that
they're
doing
a
municipal
income
taxes
$25
a
year,
yeah
I
mean
you
can
go
to
all
its
employer
withholding
for
$25
a
year,
so
I
don't
I,
don't
think
that
we
would
do
an
employer
withholding
and
I
think
that's.
AU
As
I,
listen
to
this
I
think,
one
of
the
terms
that
came
out
was
unintended
consequences.
Today
we
don't
know
all
the
facts
involved
in
this
in
this
particular
issue.
I
would
suggest,
however,
that
if
somebody
wants
to
raise
money
for
schools
with
an
innovative
idea,
that
that
is
the
purview
of
the
school
system
to
investigate
and
evaluate,
and
not
us,
thank
you.
Your
honor
I
completely.
J
Oklahoma
City
has
620
square
miles
and
has
24
school
districts
so
which
school
district.
Do
you
ask
the
city
clerk?
We
we
have.
We
go
across
four
counties,
I
think
which
county?
Do
you
ask
the
city
of
Oklahoma
City
is
the
only
entity
that
could
address
all
620
square
miles?
There's?
No,
so
you
can't
get
all
24
school
districts
to
do
something.
We
are
the
common
thread
in
all
620
square
miles:
we're
in
a
unique
position
to
do
that.
David
I!
J
Think
that
the
you
don't
want
people
going
to
other
municipalities,
because
we
have
a
higher
in
context.
I
think,
although
I
agree
with
you
on
the
permanent
income
tax
I
think
the
way
that
we
pulled.
It
suggests
that
people
like
the
idea
of
a
temporary,
intact
income
tax
until
the
legislature
gets
a
solution
and
when
we
ask
them
specifically,
if
the
legislature
in
the
unlikely
event
they
were
to
increase
their
income
tax,
this
would
go
away
that
adds
to
the
number
of
people
that
are
that
are
likely
to
vote
for
it.
N
But
we
do
have
24
school
districts
in
Oklahoma
City,
but
a
good
number
of
those
school
districts
are
large
school
districts.
Large
organizations
that
the
teachers
within
those
school
districts
are
their
employ,
and
so
they
are
closer
to
the
problem
than
we
are
we're
a
lot
further
away
from
the
problem,
and
they
know
they
should
know
how
to
fix
it
better
than
we
look
better
than
we
ever
will
and.
J
I
think
you
see
Paula
Lewis
here,
who's
the
school
board
chair
and
she
and
we're
all
locked
arms
locked
in
solidarity.
I
mean
they
are
part
of
it.
They
are
have
been
in
part
of
the
discussions
of
coming
up
with
this
plan,
so
they
very
much
have
been
have
been
part
of
the
creation
and
and
would
definitely
you
can
do
the
execution
without
them.
This
is
a
joint
effort
with
Oklahoma
City,
public
schools,
I
think.
T
Everybody
sitting
at
this
horseshoe
wants
to
help
cheat
teachers.
We
want
to
do
everything
we
can
for
teachers
and
we
are
very
disappointed
with
what
the
legislature
has
done,
but
I
would
caution
you
and
I.
Just
look
at
this
last
night
when
I
we're
looking
at
the
Sooner
poll,
materials
done
and
and
and
I,
don't
know
a
lot
about
it,
but
I
think
that
there
are
constitutional
issues:
constitutional
art
of
13.
There
is
a
concept
of
vertical
equity
where
other
school
districts
may
try
to
attack
what
you're
doing
and
I
don't
want
to.
T
J
Fastest,
the
fastest
way
to
get
money
into
the
schools
is
to
put
it
on
this
sales
tax
and
then
the
money
starts
coming
in
on
January
1st,
so
that
is
fastest
the
that
so
the
sales
tax
is
much
faster
in
terms
of
income
tax.
We
have
asked
opinions
of
Dan
bachelor.
We
have
asked
the
CFO
of
Oakland
City
Schools
to
research.
This
we
have
asked
people
in
the
state
about
vertical
equity
and
whether
this
would
punish
them
in
terms
of
the
funding
formula
and
the
answer's.
J
No
I
relish
a
discussion
about
vertical
equity,
I
relish
a
discussion
about
how
property
tax
is
being
valued
in
rural
communities
versus
Oklahoma
City
and
how
Oakland
City
Schools
are
being
punished
with
the
state
funding
formula
and,
ultimately,
that's
that's.
The
long-term
solution
is
that
I
think
the
state
funding
formula,
favors
property
tax.
We
pay
more
property
tax
than
we're
getting
back
for
our
schools.
So
let's
talk
about
vertical
equity
and
let's
talk
about
the
Supreme
Court
decision
that
just
came
out
that
said,
you've
got
to
spend
all
this
money
on
special
education.
J
You
can't
you
can't
just
that's
all
going
to
be
an
Oklahoma
City.
So
let's
talk
about
what
Oklahoma
City
Schools
are
faced
with
versus
rural
communities
and
I
think
that
Supreme
Court
decision,
if
anything,
warrants
an
additional
consideration.
It's
an
additional
bit
of
gravity
and
pressure
on
Oklahoma
City,
public
schools,
yeah.
N
Jo
and
you
know
no
we're
on
our
agenda
and
nowhere
within
the
plan
as
written,
which,
I
think
is
a
good
plan
and
a
plan
that
is
very
responsive
to
what
our
citizens
have
been
telling
us
over
the
last
decade.
At
least
I
think
that
the
plan
that
adds
do
as
written
on
our
agenda
is
I
heard.
Somebody
tell
me
that
it
is
a
gift
to
the
next
mayor
because
he
doesn't.
N
The
next
mayor
won't
have
to
do
any
of
this
work,
and
it
is
a
it
is
funding
the
core
functions
of
our
government
of
our
city
government
at
levels
that
I,
don't
think
we've
ever
done
before
as
far
as
police,
fire
and
street
resurfacing,
and
so
I
think
that
this
is
a
very
responsive
or
responsible
and
effective
way
of
doing
what
the
citizens
of
Oklahoma
City
want
us
to
do
and
the
things
that
we
are
actually
responsible
to
do.
So.
That's
just
life
all.
R
Like
to
say
down
in
our
Ward,
we
still
have
a
a
fire
station
down
there
that
has
been
funded,
that
we
can't
get
built
because
we're
waiting
on
staffing
so
I
fully
support
the
public
safety
piece
of
this
and
as
far
as
the
roads
to
me
in
the
poll
I
mean
you
could
almost
combine
the
maintenance
and
pothole
piece
of
it.
I
can
tell
you
out
knocking
doors.
It's
hugely
important.
R
I
would
love
to
see
a
plan
come
forward
to
help
education,
I.
Just
don't
think
it's
going
to
necessarily
be
tied
in
with
this
and
honestly,
it's
such
a
complex
issue.
I
would
almost
argue
that
Oklahoma
City
is
the
common
thread
across
the
24
districts,
but
each
one
of
those
districts
are
its
own,
so
it
almost
for
us
to
try
and
do
it
across
24
districts.
R
You
know
all
of
us
here
today,
fantastic
where's,
the
other
23
I,
don't
know.
Maybe
some
of
their
teachers
are
here,
but
for
us
to
try
and
corral
those
24
different
districts
and
try
and
do
something
like
that
to
me-
makes
it
even
more
complex
and
harder
to
get
something
done
in
this.
That
being
said,
I
would
love
to
see.
You
know
a
plan
for
the
future.
P
You
mr.
mayor
every
80
seconds
of
a
school
that
American
student
gives
up
his
or
her
dreams
and
drops
out
of
school.
From
that
moment,
life
choices
are
very
limited
and
chances
for
success
is
small.
I
have
a
total
of
nine
school
districts
in
Ward
7
again,
a
total
of
nine
school
districts
in
Ward
7,
the
biggest
one,
of
course,
is
Oklahoma
City
Public
Schools
I,
do
ask
myself
the
question:
what
about
the
other
struggling
school
districts
such
as
Millwood
cricket,
oak
and
cultural
schools,
which
they
are
struggling
in
those
four
school
districts?
P
P
I
do
appreciate
you
doctor
Shadid,
for
trying
to
find
some
answers,
because
we
do
need
to
explore
to
try
to
find
some
solutions,
but
at
the
same
time
as
a
city
that
is
620
square
miles,
I
represent
a
total
of
a
hundred
and
forty
square
miles.
Potholes
streets
is
the
issue,
especially
if
you
look
at
some
of
the
underserved
areas
within
Ward.
Seven
northeast
Oklahoma,
City,
the
south
side,
and
so
this
is
I.
Think
it's
going
to
be
a
very
complex
issue,
but
I
do
believe.
We
must
have
further
discussions.
Yeah.
B
Anybody
else
all
right,
so
many
votes
do
we
need,
if
any
we
need
any
doing
on
the
public
hearings,
all
right,
I'm
sure
several
people
want
to
leave
now
that
we've
into
that
discussion,
so
allow
you
to
get
up
and
leave
and
I'll
give
you
a
minute
to
get
out.
So
we
don't.
So
we
can
hear
it's
quite
noisy
when
people
all
get
up
at
the
same
time.
T
We
were
going
to
I
thought
you're
still
going
to
cover
each
resolution,
one
by
one
and
I'm.
So
sorry,
but
taking
a
look
at
this
resolution,
nine
W,
which
is
the
intent
and
resolve
there,
is
an
exhibit
a
that
goes
with
nine
W
and
the
exhibit
a
talks
about
the
quarter
cent
and
how
it
will
be
spent.
And
one
of
the
things
in
looking
at
that.
The
last
couple
of
days
is
from
a
lawyer's
perspective.
T
I
thought
that
it
needed
to
be
tightened
up
a
little
it
needed
to
be
revisited
and
what
I
meant
by
that
is
I
want
to
make
sure
that
future
City
Council
members
understand
what
our
intent
is
quite
clearly
and
I
would
ask
that
and
I'd
like
to
pass
out
today.
Some
changes
that
I
made
to
Exhibit
A
and
I'd
like
people
to
start
considering
it
now-
and
this
was
the
work
I
did
part
of
it.
T
Larry
had
some
ideas
that
he
put
into
it
and
what
it
the
intent
is,
is
to
make
sure
that
future
council
members
know
that
this
is
about
police
and
fire.
But
this
money
is
devoted
to
police
and
fire.
I've
had
the
privilege
of
the
last
two
years
of
working
with
the
police
chief
and
the
fire
chief,
and
when
those
two
people
tell
me
that
they
need
this
money,
I
get
it
and
I'm
going
to
help
them
get
that
money.
T
B
J
Mark
ices
can
I,
don't
can
I
just
ask
about
your
suit,
basically
you're
saying
we
would
fund
186
positions
and
fire
and
police
I
get
that
and
then
after
funding
is
guaranteed
for
those
186
positions,
then,
and
only
then
can
be
used.
Additional
revenues
define
police
or
fire
services
facilities
or
equipment.
I.
J
T
J
G
It
could
be
service
to
yes,
as
I
read
it.
It
says
that
the
fundings
guaranteed,
so
we've
got
to
make
sure
we
got
the
funding
set
aside
for
what's
in
one
and
two
and
then
we
can
still
do
some
other
other
items
beyond
that.
But
we've
got
to
make
sure
that
we
we
preserve
that
funding
to
accomplish.
What's
in
one
was
one
and
two
which
gets
us
to
the
you
know:
hey
Ron
did.
G
G
I
I
think
we're
talking
at
least
three
years
in
the
police
department
to
get
those
numbers
if
it's
not
more
than
that
in
the
fire
department,
it's
more
logistics
with
the
facilities,
and
so
you
wouldn't
necessarily
get
that
south
firestation
staffing
done
and
how
those
guys
waiting
around
waiting
for
the
police
station
or
the
fire
station
to
be
completed.
So
you'd
want
to
dovetail
that
and
have
that
in
place
when,
when
the
fire
station
is
complete,
I'm
not
sure
the
timeframe
on
that.
But
I
would
think.
G
G
First
of
all,
the
fire,
staffing
and
police
staffing
are
totally
independent,
are
doing
their
thing
at
the
same
time,
I
understand
that
the
police
is
doing
their
thing,
I
look
at
it
and
I
think
this
is
pretty
close.
But
the
fact
of
the
matter
is
that
we
have
about
50
positions
that
we
lose
every
year
in
retirement
in
the
police
department
roughly
and
if
we
were
to
have
two
classes
a
year
of
50
in
the
last
class
that
had
was
with
greater
than
50.
G
J
Thank
you,
I
mean
in
the
long
term.
Not
even
this
is
going
to
get
you
the
200
police
officers
that
we
vote,
that
we've
talked
about
what,
but
but
I'm
just
I'm
talking
about
like
year
one
year,
125
million
dollars
comes
in
all
right.
You
don't
have
a
hundred
and
eighty
six
police
and
fire
that's
prettier.
Yet
that's.
J
T
T
J
T
B
T
N
Kind
of
like
how
it
was
originally
done
because
it
gives
a
little
bit
more
latitude,
it
doesn't
make
it
so
restrained.
Even
though
I
do
agree
that
that
the
priorities
are
police
and
fire
and
I.
Think
in
the
original.
How
it
was
written
originally
was
I
think
articulated
that
pretty
well,
but
it
still
left
a
little
room
for
where
you
can
use
some
of
it
for
the
the
third
third
priority.
T
AU
O
O
N
O
Think
you're
opening
yourself
up
to
potential
problems.
You
can
certainly
state
your
intentions
and
your
desire
and
and
mark
you
know,
I,
don't
think
any
authority
has
the
ability
to
be
overridden.
You
know,
after
a
next
election
they
have
the
ability
to
come
in
and
redo
the
entire
budget.
I
believe
so
I
mean
I.
Just
think.
O
O
But
I'm
just
saying:
let's
give
people
a
little
bit
of
credit
for
certain,
but
this
may
say
and
realize:
okay,
if
you're
going
to
dedicate
there's
still
ways
to
back
money
out
and
and
if
you
want
to
do
that,
that's
okay!
But
let's
make
sure
everybody
understands
this
does
not
identify
a
specific
dollar
amount.
For
example
that
will
be
going
to
particular
agency
and
that's
what
you
have
to
do
in
a
sense.
T
J
Iona
I
mean
I
think
that
was
Larry's
goal.
It
was
never
explained
that
way.
To
me,
I
mean
I,
understood
that
we
were
going
to
spend
66
70
percent,
like
we
do
on
our
general
fund
and
that
the
other
departments
that
are
also
starving
taps
me.
Employees,
parks
planning,
transit,
Public,
Works
that
we
could
plug
some
in
we're.
Laying
people
off
we're
we're
cutting
our
budget.
I
mean
that
was
so.
If
we're
going
to
do
the
full
quarter
of
a
penny
for
police
and
fire
great.
J
But
that's
an
argument,
I
think
back
to
what
I've
been
saying
for
months
now,
which
is
do
a
half
penny
for
operations
because
they
need
a
quarter
of
a
penny
and
the
other
departments
need
something.
So
if
this
all
goes
to
police
and
fire
you're
going
you're
going
to
hurt
the
other
departments,
once
you
bring
on
a
three
million
dollar
streetcar
and
a
three
million
dollar
park
into
the
our
maintenance
zone,
it's.
T
Not
the
intent
to
hurt
any
other
departments,
I
even
talked
to
chief
city
about
that,
and
he
was
very
articulate
and
well
spoken
about.
We
have
to
think
about
the
other
departments
too.
That's
why
there's
a
paragraph
3
I
just
want
people
to
remember
2-3
years
from
now
why
we
did
this
that
simple,
okay,.
G
Quick
comment:
the
council
has
made
commitments
when
they've
done
elections
in
the
past
that
are
no
more
than
resolutions
or
even
less
than
that
resolution
on
maps.
Three
with
just
a
resolution
on
what
the
projects
were,
we
promised
into
voters
it's.
What
we're
going
to
do.
The
council
is
always
stood
by
those
election
promises,
even
less
of
a
sum
has
been
tied
down
as
the
16
Mills
on
the
general
obligation
bonds.
That's
that's!
G
That's
an
obligation
by
the
council
that
that's
where
we're
going
to
keep
it,
and
we
tell
the
citizens
that
that's
what
we're
going
to
do
when
we
go
forward
with
the
geo
bonds
and
we've
always
done
that.
That's
we've!
Never
never
split
this
way
for
that,
and
so
again,
when
we're
laying
out
that
this
is
what
we're
going
to
do
with
this
quarter.

With

is
a
resolution
that
would

the
councilman
john
Pettis
for
his
attendance
at
the
National
League
of
Cities,
the
National
Black
Caucus
of
local
elected
officials
in
Birmingham.
B
B
AV
Marian
Council
Cindy
Richardson
municipal
councillors
office.
We
were
originally
approached
on
this
by
Councilman
Stonecipher,
after
what
happened
in
his
ward
with
the
dog
attack,
and
he
asked
us
specifically
to
look
at
issues
of
registration
of
dogs,
both
that
are
at
large
and
unconvincing
and
dangerous
dogs,
and
then
council
Maxie
came
on
in
support
of
that.
AV
And
finally,
councilman
Pettis
had
a
suggestion
about
holding
property
owners
also
responsible,
if
they're
not
the
same
person
as
dog
owners,
so
I
just
like
to
go
through
what
we've
done
and
I
do
apologize
to
the
council
members
for
the
time
that
it
took,
but
chapter
8,
which
is
the
animal
chapter,
is
it's
kind
of
like
when
you
click
one
domino
over.
They
all
are
connected
and
intertwined.
So
read
to
be
careful
as
we
would
be
getting
our
amendments
that
we
kept
everything
straight
and
logical.
AV
So
first
I
want
to
talk
about
what
we're
doing
for
those
dogs
that
are
found
at
large
or
fail
to
be
confined.
Those
are
Class,
A,
offenses
and
always
have
been
and
will
remain
so
well
we're
adding.
There
is
a
one-time
registration
where,
when
the
owner
comes
in
to
reclaim
the
dog,
they'll
have
to
use
forms
provided
by
the
shelter
to
register
the
dog,
give
a
specific
information,
and
that
dog
will
also
be
required
before
it's
released
to
be
spayed,
neutered
and
microchips,
and
that
information
on
the
microchip
will
be
kept
on
file.
O
AV
Created
an
exception:
John
Gary,
the
superintendent
of
animal
welfare,
brought
that
issue
for
it,
as
we
were
discussing
this,
and
if
the
owner
can
bring
proof
to
the
shelter
that
the
dog
is
like
an
AKC
registered
dog
or
some
other
reliable
information
that
the
dog
is
purebred
and
therefore
I
would
have
a
higher
property
value
actually
because
of
that
ability
to
breed
and
there's
an
exception
created
in
the
ordinance
on
the
spay
neuter
not
for
the
microchipping.
The.
T
O
AV
AV
Finally,
we
get
to
the
menacing
and
dangerous
scenario.
We've
always
had
dangerous
animals,
which
pretty
much
requires
a
bite
in
the
definition,
not
always,
but
most
of
the
time.
Those
avoided
a
case
where
the
animals
were
impounded
and
dealt
with
in
a
pretty
set
manner.
Menacing
was
what
we
looked
at
and
currently
menacing
is
defined.
As
a
dog
that
is
unconditional,.
AV
Person
to
believe
that
an
unprovoked
attack
on
a
person
or
animal
is
imminent,
we're
proposing
and
again
this
came
from
the
superintendent
of
animal
welfare
and
we're
proposing
a
new
definition
that
gets
a
little
more
to
the
heart
of
the
matter,
a
little
more
descriptive.
So
it's
about
a
dog
being
unprovoked
that
charges,
growls
snarls,
takes
an
aggressive
stance,
shows
teeth,
destroys
property
to
get
to
a
human
or
animal.
AV
It
will
not
be
considered
menacing
if
that
animal
is
still
on
the
owners
property.
Unless
his
attempt
the
animals
attempts
to
escape
appear
reasonably
likely
to
be
successful,
so
in
other
words,
that
the
dog
is
charging
at
its
own
fence
and
starts
to
rip
that
the
part
to
be
able
to
get
through
then
that
dog
may
be
considered
menacing.
AV
Councilman
Pettis
asked
us
to
look
at
holding
property
owners
responsible
and
while
that's
difficult
to
do
with
at
large
or
unconfined
animals,
because
of
the
way
the
animal
can
be
confined
on
its
Heather
and
that
sort
of
thing
for
a
menacing
or
dangerous
animal.
We
can
find
ways
then,
to
put
that
property
owner
on
notice
so
that
they
can
be
responsible
and
help
require
the
appropriate,
fencing
and
enclosures
on
the
property.
So
we've
added
a
provision
for
that
now
menacing
or
dangerous.
AV
If
the
court
orders
that
the
animal
shelter
will
have
the
responsibility
to
make
sure
that
that
dog
is
annually
registered,
not
just
a
one
time
an
annual
and
they
will
also
go
out
annually
and
verify
that
the
court's
orders
for
those
specificities
are
in
compliance
by
the
owner,
the
animal
will
also
be
spayed
and
neutered
in
the
same
way
as
the
at-large
dogs
and
microchip
that
will
no
longer
be
optional
in
a
court
order.
That's
going
to
be
required
for
animal
shelters
to
do
with
those
animals.
AV
We
currently
have
those
offenses
of
menacing
and
dangerous
as
a
Class,
A
offense,
which
people
get
understandably
upset
about.
They
say
why
are
you
hard
on
the
dog,
but
not
on
the
owner?
Well,
here's
here's
the
issue
when
you
have
a
Class
V
offense
that
entitles
you
to
a
jury
trial
as
a
defendant
and
those
can
just
last
longer
in
the
system.
It's
just
not
unusual
for
it
to
be
months,
if
not
a
year
and
in
the
meantime,
you're
holding
that
dog,
and
so
previously,
we've
had
that
as
a
Class,
A
offense.
AV
So
the
case
would
go
quickly
and
the
dog
could
be
dealt
with
either,
unfortunately,
euthanized
or
release
under
certain
conditions.
What
we're
going
to
do
now
is
add
that
for
a
second
or
subsequent
offense,
in
other
words
the
CID,
if
the
court
released
your
dog
back
to
you
the
first
time
and
now
it
gets
out
again
now
you
can
be
charged
with
a
Class
B
offense
on
the
second
or
subsequent
offense,
and
that's
added
on,
and
the
final
thing
is
that
there's
a
twelve
dollar
registration
fee
for
those
annual
and
initial
registrations.
AV
T
It's
made
to
be
punitive
on
repeat
offenders,
but
I'd
specifically
like
to
say
to
say:
Jonathan,
Gary,
Bob,
Tina,
Laura,
Johnson,
Orville,
Jones,
Rita,
Douglas,
Talley,
Kenny,
Jordan
and,
of
course,
Cindy
for
working
on
this.
It
took
a
lot
of
work
and
she
said
it
took
a
lot
of
time.
It
did
take
a
lot
of
time,
but
it's
a
good
ordinance.
Thank
you.
Yeah
yeah.

You
mr.

I
do
want
to
recognize
I

we
do
have
our
youth
council
members
here,
Ward

Youth
Council
on

Ishmael

just
want
to

both

you
all
have
done
for
our
great
city

All
right,

AW
Last
week,
when
I
left,
the
hall
I
had
a
phone
call,
and
it
was
that
disturbing
to
me,
my
Health's
at
risk,
I
jump
off
the
bandwagon
and
take
a
look,
I
drove
for
nearly
an
hour
with
this
lady
and
I
went
to
the
southeast
part
of
Oklahoma,
City
I
was
led
to
believe
and
I
did
turn
it
over
to
the
department
of
economic
and
development
quality
and
when
it
got
out
there,
I
took
some
pictures.
I
don't
have
enough
to
give
them
all
to
you,
but
I
will
tell
you
this
one.
AW
AW
We
drove
for
an
hour
trying
to
find
it
and
when
I
find
to
ask
the
person
said
where
are
you
taking
me
I'm
clean
out
the
boondocks
I
didn't
this
was
funny.
It's
quite
a
deal
up
there.
It
looks
like
a
pond
till
you
get
up
real
close
to
it.
It's
raw
sewage
chemically
treated
and
it's
classes
hazardous
waste,
because
it's
toxic
back
and
back
on
the
north
side
of
it
is
sandbags
out.
The
middle
of
it
is
a
dipstick
kind
of
like
in
a
car,
but
it's
footage.
AW
It's
not
even
supposed
to
be
close
to
this
level.
I
can't
give
you
all
of
the
information
that
I've
got,
because
it's
under
investigation
by
the
DEA
as
we
speak.
I
do
know
that
trucks
took
it
to
a
particular
area
in
there
are
two
other
areas
that
they're
dumping
their
stuff
directly
into
our
sewer
main
and
when
I
saw
this
and
I
took
pictures
of
whether
means
or
the
area
that
it's
in
and
it's
costing
the
city
a
lot
of
money.
AW

Mr.

today
I'll
stand
before

to
let
you

said

I
want
to

come
down

oh
one

You
know,
if
you
don't
see
too
much
graffiti
on
the
east
side,
it's
not
a
road
old
building
of
all
these
Europe
28
years,
loving
telling
the
kids
you
don't
have
to
do
that.
So
today,
y'all
can
drive
to
the
east
side.
You
don't
see
a
whole
lot
of
graffiti
or
that
you
just
don't
go
see
it
in
life.
You
can
tell
people
self
and
they
will
listen
to
you.
B
AX
A
AC
We're
leading
incarceration
of
women,
which
is
a
very
terrible
thing
now
this
in
realizing
that
fact,
if
Mama's
already
in
prison-
and
we
know
one
likely
daddy,
is
then
what
does
that
make
the
child
more
than
likely
a
ward
of
the
state.
So,
in
other
words,
we
need
measures
put
in
place
educationally
wise,
as
well
as
social
midwives
and
community
wise
that
are
going
to
be
geared
toward
reaching
these
young
kids
again
in
a
multi
group
of
people
that
I
deal
with.
AC
My
concern
is
to
reach
these
people
change
your
world,
and
your
world
will
change
around
you,
because
tomorrow's
children
could
also
be
the
adult
prisoner
and
what
you
want
to
cut
all
that
out.
We
again
as
American
citizens
have
a
duty.
Do
not
only
sit
back
in
the
seat
that
you
people
are
here
in
and
which
is
a
great
seat
to
be,
and
that's
why,
hopefully,
that
what
we're
saying
today
will
not
fly
by
night,
but
actually
stick
into
your
brain
cells
in
that
people
today
need
the
representation
they
can
feel
and
rely
on.
AC
I've
often
asked
the
question
what's
really
going
on
and
then,
when
you
also
have
one
person
sent
in
my
flag
as
governor
of
calls
man
is
written.
Yours
is
blue.
Okay,
if
you
don't
have
community
activities
that
are
going
on
geared
toward
these
people.
In
other
words,
just
can't
rely
on
the
citizens
ourselves.
We
need
government
institutions
in
place.
For
example,
let
me
get
ready
close.
We
have
this
freedom
center.
We
know
that
multiplier,
a
local,
so
let
the
great
monument
there.
But
if
you
go
to
that
place,
this
is
one
of
most
things.
AC
On
my
mind
has
been
bothering
me:
you
go
to
that
place
and
you
see
a
lot
of
people
that
done
great
things
for
African
American
community
and
these
African
American
inventors
and
psychologists
and
in
mine
workers
or
whatever
so
forth,
and
so
on.
Historians
you
go
and
now
you're
looking
at
building
so
dilapidated
mean.
What
are
we
doing
to
preserve
that
monument
it?
If
nothing
else,
it
should
be
a
monument
set
aside
so
when
people
of
all
colors
can
dry
it
buddy
say:
what's
that
beautiful
monument
say?
Oh
my
god.
AC
AC
Okay,
we
know,
like
I,
said
we're
in
clothing
that
the
rich
and
wealthy
have
plans
to
take
over
much
of
the
north
east
side
and
again
I'm
one
only
one
to
reveal
this
information
and
I'm
going
to
do
what
I
can
to
prevent
that
if
I
can
I
had
not
been
active
over
to
you,
but
I'll
tell
you
what
I
mean
Lee
I
am
now.
Thank
you
all
very
much
and
I'm
sure
you're
here
for
Michael
watching
again
have
a
good
day.
