Description
City of Oklahoma City City Council, November 21, 2017
A
B
Good
morning,
let
us
pray,
why
isn't
loving
God?
We
do
thank
you
for
this
time
and
we
thank
you
for
a
wonderful
time,
we're
anticipating
for
Thanksgiving
to
be
away
with
families,
but
before
we
get
to
dismiss
and
do
that,
we
ask
you
to
bless
our
city
officials,
our
city
leaders,
that
they
have
lots
of
things
they
have
to
make
decisions
about
help
them
to
remember
that
they
speak
on
behalf
of
the
voiceless,
and
they
are
our
representatives.
How
much
we
trust
them
to
do.
C
A
D
Yes,
sir,
thank
you
very
much.
We
were
very
fortunate
this
year
to
be
awarded
three
honors
from
different
associations.
The
first
is
the
water
taste
test,
the
states
of
Oklahoma
Arkansas
and
Louisiana.
We
had
the
Southwest
American
Water
Works
Association
meeting
here
in
Oklahoma
City
this
year
and
we
won
the
best
tasting
water
out
of
three
States.
So
that's
a
pretty
good
accomplishment,
so
we'll
be
competing
for
the
national.
D
We'll
be
competing
for
the
national
best
tasting
water
in
June,
so
great
job,
all
of
the
water
treatment
folks.
Secondly,
we
submitted
an
application
with
the
with
Amla
the
association
of
metropolitan
water
agencies.
They
represent
the
largest
water
utilities
in
the
nation
serving
100,000
or
larger,
and
they
gave
us
an
Excellence
Award
for
our
overall
performance,
so
that
award
includes
how
we
manage
our
money,
our
fiscal
responsibility,
how
we
manage
our
utility,
our
sustainability
and
reliability
and
and
generally
how
we
manage
the
organization,
and
so
we
we
won
their
Gold
Award
this
year.
D
E
E
The
first
thing
I
wanted
to
mention
was
give
you
a
criminal
justice
update
earlier
this
year,
I
updated
you
on
the
progress
of
our
joint
criminal
justice
reform
efforts
underway
and
today
we're
really
starting
to
see
the
fruits
of
these
multiple
years
long
efforts
we
started
last
week.
Actually
the
first
meeting
was
held
of
the
newly
formed
criminal
justice
Coordinating
Council,
and
it
was
a
fitting
time
to
remark
on
just
how
far
we've
come.
E
We
heard
from
a
number
of
people
who
were
on
that
council,
but
I
think
the
one
thing
that
jumped
out
was
when
sheriff
P
Detailers
stated
that
our
current
jail
population
is
now
1,850,
which
is
down
from
a
high
of
2600.
So
it's
exciting
to
see
tangible
results
and
together
we're
going
to
continue
to
build
this
momentum,
but
I
would
say,
even
though
that
population
is
down.
It's
not
a
solution
to
the
jail
problem,
we'll
still
be
working
on
that,
but
that
is
very,
very
significant:
to
have
a
reduction
that
size
right.
F
E
Excellent
yeah,
it
has
a
lot
of
implications
other
than
just
population
reduction.
I
would
also
tell
you
a
search
is
currently
underway
to
find
an
executive
director
of
the
council,
which
would
be
a
full-time
position
and
that
person
will
work
24/7.
We
hope
toward
implementing
the
recommendations
once
they're
in
place.
Second
thing
I
want
to
mention,
is
innovation.
E
District
last
May
I
provided
a
fairly
in-depth
report
to
you
on
the
work
we've
spirited
toward
establishing
an
innovation
district
that
celebrates
what's
going
on
at
the
bioscience
and
healthcare
sectors,
in
addition
to
the
innovation
work,
that's
being
done
by
other
aviation,
aerospace,
energy
companies,
etc.
Since
that
time,
since
I
talked
to
you,
we've
held
two
symposiums
to
highlight
the
innovation
work,
that's
occurring
throughout
Oklahoma
City
industries
and
the
first
one
was
on
imaging,
and
just
recently
we
completed
dissemination
on
data
analytics.
E
The
symposium
on
data
analytics
was
sold
out,
standing-room-only,
indicating
that
there
really
is
a
needed
and
demand
around
innovation
like
that
in
our
region.
We
have
a
third,
a
symposium
schedule
and
that's
going
to
be
focused
on
sensor
technology.
So,
in
essence,
what
we
do
is
we
bring
in
diverse
industries
who
all
have
applications
in
those
areas
and
they
share
it
with
other
companies.
E
Also
along
the
innovation
district,
the
Oklahoma
Health
Center
foundation
has
officially
formed
a
new
legal
entity
that
will
lead
the
innovation
district
effort,
and
a
national
search
firm
has
now
been
engaged
to
find
that
executive
director
as
well
third
thing
I
wanted
to
mention,
were
some
direct
economic
development
activities.
A
lot
of
a
lot
of
latter
part
of
this
year
activity
we've
seen
a
flurry
of
activity
with
some
major
job
announcements
and
some
significant
capital
investment
in
Oklahoma
City.
E
Last
month,
specifically,
there
was
the
announcement
of
NTT
DATA
services,
which
is
an
internationally
owned
company,
and
it
announced
an
expansion
in
Oklahoma
City,
revealing
that
they
will
be
the
first
tenant
in
a
recently
completed.
Westgate
one
complex
on
the
west
side
of
town
NTT
DATA
had
an
existing
presence
here
after
they
acquired
a
portion
of
Dell
services
last
year,
and
they
have
significant
growth
plans
with
that
operation.
That
they're
moving
out
to
out-of-state
companies
recently
opened
new
operations
in
Oklahoma
City
as
well.
E
We
edged
out
two
other
states
who
were
in
the
final
competition,
and
this
will
have
about
a
hundred
and
thirty
seven
million
dollar
economic
impact
on
our
community.
The
fourth
thing
I
want
to
mention
is
our
talent
initiatives.
Efforts
continue
toward
implementing
recommendations.
That
came
out
of
a
talent
study
that
we
did
in
2016
through
five
different
recommended
strategies:
we're
working
towards
some
real
talent
for
industries
in
Oklahoma
City
to
continue
thriving,
we're
currently
developing
strategies
around
the
following
recommendations.
E
One
is
rapid
retooling
initiatives
for
existing
companies,
upskilling
competence
and
competency
based
training,
work
based
education,
pipeline
development
and
marketing
of
middle-skill
jobs
and
the
recruitment
of
trained
talent.
One
tool
that
we
continually
use
in
recruiting
talent
from
outside
of
the
region
is
the
telling
of
our
story
in
how
people
places
and
things
of
Oklahoma
City
make
our
city
a
great
place
to
live
and
work.
We
recently
launched
a
new
feature
on
our
economic
development
website
and
its
called
a
rivers
rise.
E
The
feature
walks
readers
through
the
history
of
the
Oklahoma
River
from
the
land
run
to
current.
This
is
a
tool
to
introduce
people
to
our
community
through
learning
about
the
impact
the
river
has
had
on
our
city
and
highlighting
really
the
unexpected
world-class
amenities
that
are
right
here
in
downtown
Oklahoma
City.
You
can
view
the
new
feature
on
greater
Oklahoma,
City
comm
and
we
intend
to
add
additional
video
and
content.
I
really
encourage
you
to
look
at
it.
E
In
addition
to
talent,
attraction,
we're
also
working
to
convene
industries
around
employer
training
models
and
our
first
best
practice
forum
will
be
held
December.
The
4th
we've
invited
business
leaders
across
multiple
industries
to
hear
about
current
trims.
Contemporary
practices
that
really
focus
on
employer
led
training
is
a
method
not
only
for
rescaling
but
upskilling
existing
employees
and,
finally,
for
those
of
you
who
are
cheers
fans,
john
ratzenberger,
who
famously
portrayed
cliff
Clavin,
is
going
to
be
our
keynote
speaker
at
our
annual
meeting.
E
E
Fifth
thing
I
want
to
mention
is
tinker.
Work
is
well
underway
at
the
kc-46,
a
heavy
maintenance
complex
on
the
south
side
of
Tinker,
the
BNSF
site
that
was
purchased
phase,
one
construction
of
infrastructure
and
contract,
concrete
work
for
the
ramps
is
85%
complete
and,
additionally,
the
walls
and
the
roof
of
the
first
hangar
are
expected
to
be
up
by
the
end
of
December,
permitting
inside
work.
To
begin
as
a
reminder,
this
is
a
half
a
billion
dollar
project,
thirteen
hundred
and
fifty
jobs
and
about
fourteen
hangars.
E
When
this
project
is
completed,
six
thing
six
thing
I
want
to
mention
is
non-stop
flights.
We
continually
work
with
the
airport
on
non-stop
flights.
We
recently
worked
with
front
tear
Airlines
to
finalize
new
nonstop
flights
to
San,
Diego
and
Orlando,
so
we
get
the
East
Coast
and
West
Coast
and
just
last
week
via
air,
a
new
start-up
airline
out
of
Austin
Texas
announced
their
nonstop
service
between
Oklahoma,
City
and
Austin,
beginning
in
January,
which
the
chamber
will
begin
marketing
that
next
month,
in
December
last
thing
I
want
to
mention
are
the
OKC
outlets.
E
Councillor,
McAtee
and
I
were
pleased
to
participate
in
ceremonies.
Earlier
this
month
celebrating
the
new
ownership
torque
of
the
outlets,
and
it
was
really
exciting
to
see
the
changes
they've
already
made
for
retailers
and
customers
like
in
addition
to
the
announcement
of
new
tenants
and
I
assure
you
and
I
was
equally
thrilled
to
see
councilman
Mac,
ities
wife,
contributing
to
the
increasing
sales
tax
of
Oklahoma
City
during
that
event,
maybe
to
his
chagrin,
but
certainly
to
the
good
side
of
Oklahoma
City.
That's
the
conclusion.
My
remarks
happy
to
try
to
answer
any
questions.
G
A
F
F
Also
on
page
7
we'd
liked
you
to
strike
items
7r
and
7s.
There
are
some
errors
affecting
the
assessment
rate
on
that
and
so
we'll
bring
those
back
in
a
future
time.
Again,
that's
on
page

then
moving

finally
item
em
1613
South
East
52nd
Street.
We
had
a
be
stricken
again.
The
owner
has
secured.
A
A
H
H
Really.
You
know
the
beauty
of
this
business
is
that
it's
really
starting
as
a
part
of
the
small
business
development
leading
you
know,
based
under
the
block
grant
that
we
do
Sarah
Miller
will
be
the
wave
your
hand,
Sarah
Sarah
will
be
the
owner
of
this
business
and
it's
going
to
be
a
high-end
confectionary
located
in
Capitol
Hill.
They
hope,
but
the
open
before
Valentine's
Day.
So
with
some
good
luck
on
this
endeavor.
A
I
Sorry
honey,
my
notes:
this
is
an
ordinance
on
final
hearing.
It's
an
ABC
to
permit
its
to
permit
beer
wine
and
mixed
beverage
sales
associated
with
a
restaurant.
It
went
before
the
Planning
Commission
on
September,
28th,
2017
and
passed,
and
there
are
no
protests
that
I'm
aware
of
here
today.
So
I've
moved
the
item.
A
I
A
A
J
F
F
A
I
Your
honor,
this
is
an
order
on
final
hearing
to
rezone
a
pod
located
at
33
30
West
memorial
to
a
spud
1008.
It
was
in
front
of
the
Planning
Commission
on
September
28.
Then
it
passed
subject
to
technical
evaluations,
I'm,
not
aware
of
any
protest,
so
I'd
move
the
item
at
this
time.
Thank
you.
Rafer.

F
A

F
A
F
N
A
O
320
Montville
Oklahoma
City,
Oklahoma,
73
107
I'm
here
to
talk
about
the
audience
changes.
First
of
all,
I
would
like
to
thank
especially
mr.
Beethoven,
Balderrama
I
wanna,
take
mr.
Patrick
Stewart
and
I
wanna,
of
course,
the
Chief
of
Police
mr.
bill
city
and
also
I
wanna.
Thank
our
inspector
Chris
mr.
Chris
bells
I'm
here
to
talk
today
about
this
addendum
respectfully,
requesting
that
the
City
Council
accept
this.
It's
concerning
for
licensing
the
business
is
doing
the
inspection
currently
here
in
Oklahoma
City.
We
don't
have
no
regulations
in
other
states
and
cities.
There
is
regulations.
O
There
is
two
types
of
inspections,
usually
the
state's
doing
the
mechanical
inspection.
Usually
the
state
handle
all
that
stuff,
but,
for
example,
Minnesota
justice
like
us
here
in
Oklahoma
they
don't
have
state
inspection,
so
the
city
make
regulations
for
all
the
I
mean
they
have
an
authorized
list,
mainly
just
like
a
utility
contractor.
Before
you
do
any
work,
you
got.
You
have
to
hire
utt
constructor,
getting
that
somebody
certified
by
the
city
to
do
the
job.
So
maybe
that's
what
I'm
asking
because
the
city
right
now
does
not
know
nothing
about
these
people.
O
Signing
these
papers
and
the
papers
are
still
getting
signed
and
Sheppard
mall
parking
lot.
Lake
Overholser
parking
lots
we're
trying
to
stop
all
this
mess
and
at
least
the
Oki
CPD
they're
being
pushing
for
it,
which
is
really
good,
and
now
we
just
need
more
regulation.
They
did
their
parts
right
now.
Is
the
City
Council
members
to
add
this
addendum
to
to
this
ordinance,
so
we
can
have
everything
right,
otherwise,
people
just
sign
in
and
they
don't
have
no
insurance
whatsoever.
So
we
just
need
them
to
be
just
like
the
other
cities.
O
O
Oh
yeah,
we
have
a
City
of
Seattle.
We
provide
the
City
of
Seattle
city
of
Minneapolis.
We
do
have
examples.
I
can
provide
that
to
the
so
the
legal
department.
If
anybody
would
like
to
sit
down
and
meet
I'm
ready
to
provide
them
this
yeah
they
have
an
authorized
list,
for
example,
just
next
door,
Texas
Texas
they
have
qualifications
for
certification.
As
a
licensed
state
inspection
station
inspection
facility
must
meet
minimum
dps.
Space
requirements
must
have
qualified
personnel
to
perform
inspection
mass
process
required
inspection,
equipment,
complete
and
submit
required
application
fees
and
forms.
O
Applicants
must
pass
background
check,
I
mean
there
is
a
lot.
The
list
is
long,
at
least
they
know
who
they
are.
The
inspection
so
I'm
asking
that
these
--piece
these
people
doing
this
inspection
must
be,
must
have
garage
liability
insurance.
At
least
this
should
have
some
paperwork.
They
should
be
liable.
You
just
can't
delegate
work
to
a
third
party
and
you
don't
know
nothing
about
them,
which
is
it
doesn't
seem
make
any
right.
It
doesn't
seem.
It's
not
right.
P
Certainly
good
morning,
I'm,
deputy
chief
Jeff
Becker
from
the
police
department
in
2016,
the
police
department,
was
made
aware
that
the
ordinance
was
lacking
in
thoroughness
about
how
the
inspections
were
standardized.
So
we
set
on
a
path
to
conduct
some
meetings
and
gather
input
from
vehicle
for
hire
owners
to
determine
what
their
input
was.
We
evaluate
evaluated
what
is
being
done
in
other
cities
and
throughout
that
process
we
determine
best
practices
and
work
with
legal
to
incorporate
those
in
the
ordinance
updates,
based
on
what
was
said
this
morning.
I
A
Okay,
that
brings
us
to
public
hearing
regarded
dilapidated
structures,
examine
a
signed
up,

I
Q
Q
I
work
for
the
Pew
Charitable
Trusts
in
the
Midwest,
or
our
restore
America's
parks
campaign
pew
is
a
nonprofit
nonpartisan
organization,
research,
driven
working
on
a
number
of
different
public
policy
issues,
we're
in
28
different
states
for
our
national
parks
campaign
and
our
work
really
centers
around
working
with
local
and
state
leaders.
To
help
make
the
case
to
Congress
to
get
serious
about
investing
in
our
national
parks.
There
are
over
400
National
Park
sites
across
our
country.
Q
Here
in
Oklahoma,
there
are
six
from
the
Chickasaw
National
Recreation
Area
to
the
Trail
of
Tears
to
the
unique
public-private
partnership
of
the
Oklahoma
City
memorial.
Your
site's
here
in
Oklahoma
are
diverse.
They
are
beautiful,
historic
and
commemorative.
That's
why!
Last
year,
more
than
1.6
million
people
in
Oklahoma
visited
National
Park
sites,
that's
families,
school
children,
international
travel,
travelers
and
folks
from
all
different
kinds
of
backgrounds.
Q
However,
their
while
the
parks
are
as
popular
as
ever
with
record
visitation,
there
is
also
intermittent
funding
from
Congress,
and
this
has
led
to
roughly
eleven
point
three
billion
dollar
backlog
in
needed
maintenance
here
in
Oklahoma.
That
number
is
close
to
20
million
in
critical
repairs.
That's
trails
closed,
that's
water
lines
and
electricity
lines
that
need
repair
and
the
Chickasaw
National
Recreation
Area,
that's
with
one
third
of
all
sites,
National
Park
sites
being
military
heritage,
that's
monuments
that
need
upkeep
and
historic
markers
that
have
gone
to
ruin.
Q
That's
why
more
than
120
different
cities
across
our
country
of
all
sizes,
from
Minneapolis
and
Atlanta
to
cities
as
small
as
Bayfield
Wisconsin
near
where
I'm
from
in
Cortez
Colorado
have
all
passed.
Resolutions
like
the
one
you
have
on
your
desk
before
you
message,
is
consistent
and
it's
clear
to
Congress
to
invest
in
needed
maintenance
in
our
national
parks,
because
it
saves
money
down
the
road,
it
encourages
more
visitors
and
it
makes
our
parks
more
accessible.
Q
It
is
also
vital
to
communities
who
receive
millions
and
upon
millions
of
dollars
from
visitors
throughout
our
state
and
it
preserves
and
reflects
our
history
here
in
the
state.
There
is
broad
support
for
this
measure
with
the
Oklahoma
hotel
Association,
the
Historic
Society
visit
OKC
have
been
a
close
partner,
the
Chickasaw
Nation
as
well,
and
many
other
organizations
that
see
the
importance
of
dedicated
funding
for
our
national
parks,
whether
it's
bipartisan
legislation
in
Congress
that
exists
right
now
for
possible
in
for
a
possible
infrastructure
bill.
Q
There
are
a
lot
of
opportunities
on
the
horizon
for
Congress
to
actually
address
this,
to
send
money
to
Oklahoma,
to
make
sure
that
your
national
park
sites
are
fully
funded
for
anyone
who
stood
out
at
night
at
the
memorial
just
a
few
blocks
from
here
and
been
moved
by
the
display,
visited
the
Washita
battlefield
or
seen
the
Red
Bud
bloom
in
spring
and
the
Chickasaw
Chickasaw
National
Recreation
Area.
You
know
that
our
national
parks
are
about
us
they're
about
our
story,
they're
about
our
history,
they're
about
our
natural
space,
natural
spaces,
our
place
of
Solace.
Q
That's
why
we
need
to
fight
for
them
not
only
for
us,
but
for
those
who
come
after
us,
so
many
who
come
after
us
that
they
can
feel
the
hope
that
we
feel
in
those
places
the
tears
that
we
shed
the
chance
to
stand
in
silence
and
see
the
beauty
of
nature.
Thank
you,
I'll
answer
any
questions.
If
you
haven't
but
I
appreciate
your
consideration
on
this
resolution
and.
A
So
this
is
a
resolution,
a
non-binding
resolution
asking
Congress
to
find
a
dedicated
funding
source
doesn't
opine
about
exactly
which
one
they
need
to
choose,
but
joins
a
hundred,
and
maybe
25
cities
across
America
that
have
already
done
the
City
Council's
that
have
already
done
this
I
think
Mike
carrier
of
the
Convention
and
Visitor's
Bureau
spoke
a
couple
weeks
ago
and
expressed
his
strong
support.
I.
A
C
A
G
Go
ahead,
Larry,
I'm,
sorry,
I,
have
a
question
just
a
philosophical
question:
we
do
not
like
unfunded
mandates.
Is
this
not
similar
to
an
unfunded
mandate
only
in
reversible
or
asking
somebody
to
do
it,
do
something,
but
we're
not
giving
him
any
help
on
that
the
money
to
do
it?
That's
just
my
question.
A
Q
Certainly,
and
and
thanks
for
the
question
councilmember
and
as
the
the
vice
mayor
mentioned,
there
is
legislation,
there's
a
number
of
different
ways
that
Congress
is
looking
to
actually
address,
deferred
maintenance
and
national
parks.
One
is
a
bipartisan
bill
that,
as
mentioned,
congressman
Cole
has
been
an
early
supporter
on
that
has
22
Democrats
and
22
Republicans
on
it.
That
says,
essentially,
a
pot
of
money
from
onshore
and
offshore
mineral
extraction
could
be
a
potential
place.
Q
There's
a
Treasury
has
some
additional
funding
that
they
see
could
be
fitting
for
this
kind
of
thing,
but
that
is
only
one
possible
way
to
address
this.
We
know
that
in
Congress
has
talked
about
an
infrastructure
bill
in
coming
months.
That
is
another
I
met
with
Senator
Inhofe's
office
yesterday
and
they're
interested
in
looking
at
how
infrastructure
could
tie
in
directly
with
this,
and
so
what
this
resolution
says
is
that
you
know
whatever
solution.
Q
Congress
looks
to
to
try
to
make
up
the
maintenance
that
you're
essentially
asking
for
them
to
see
it
as
an
important
thing
to
send
money
to
the
state
to
help
pay
for
maintenance
needs.
So
I,
don't
I.
Don't
think
that
this
this
resolution
doesn't
specify
one
way
to
do
that.
It
says
that
we
find
it
important
and
hope
that
your
priorities
include
it
going
forward.
I
think.
K
I
L
I'd
like
to
raise
a
question
about
what
it
would
require
to
create
a
new
National
Park
in
the
Oklahoma
City
area
and
in
particular,
if
we
could
somehow
designate
the
river
safe
from
the
new
American
Indian
cultural
center
back
west
through
western
or
Pennsylvania,
to
designate
that
if
that
would
complicate
things
limit
our
ability
to
continue
to
develop
it.
Or
could
it
be
a
positive
thing.
For
example,
I
thought
at
some
point.
We
were
going
to
expand
on
the
wiley
post
park
and
put
in
a
monument
recognizing
him
along.
L
Just
think
that's
an
area
that
could
have
a
lot
of
potential
for
further
development,
but
at
the
same
time
I
wouldn't
want
to
from
any
commercial
development
that
may
want
to
come
along.
You
know
a
hotel
or
something
like
that,
and
we
see
it
like
in
the
Yellowstone
in
most
national
parks
they
have
commercial
hotels
and
other
developments
within
the
park.
I'm.
F
L
L
Employee
say
this
is
the
only
River
I
have
to
mow
once
a
week,
because
you
know
we
had
no
water
in
it
and
to
see
the
development
of
the
river
from
that
point
to
where
it
is
now
that
by
itself
is
quite
an
accomplishment,
but
it
just
seems
like
that
area
has
a
lot
of
potential
and
again
not
asking
for
an
answer.
I'm
just
raising
the
point
about
considering.
L
A
M
Thank
you,
mr.
vice
mayor.
What
this
item
is
is
a
resolution
to
declare
a
moratorium
on
applications
for
naming
or
renaming
of
a
public
street
bridges
bridge
alley
are
within
Oklahoma
City.
Recently,
Ward
7
has
had
a
significant
amount
of
applications
to
rename
streets
and
so
I
think
we
need
who
relook
at
the
policy
and
I
think
this
will
allow
us
a
significant
time
to
relook
at
the
how
we
rename
streets
and
so
forth.
N
G
It
does
it
come
down
to
do.
We
want
to
just
enforce
the
current
policy
that
we
have,
or
do
we
need
to
have
this
moratorium,
as
if
you
follow
the
current
policy
as
I
remember,
the
way
was
written.
A
lot
of
the
recent
Street
namings
that
happened.
John
would
not
have
happened
because
they
didn't
fit
into
under
the
umbrella
of
that
policy.
I
just
raised
that
question,
yeah
I
think.
M
By
us
taking
another
look,
I
think
there
may
be
a
way
where
we
can
have
what
is
called
dual
naming,
which
will
allow
the
public
street
to
remain
the
same
and
just
look
into
what.
If
we
allow
dual
name
streets.
But
that's
why?
One
of
the
reasons
why
I
want
to
do
this
moratorium
for
looking
for
us
to
look
at
other
ways
to.
A
M
Because,
currently,
right
now,
I
know
of
seven
applications
that
will
be
coming
through
I.
Think
two
and
two
or
three
has
already
been
found,
and
so
I
know
of
several
others
coming
so
I
think
we
just
need
the
housing
for
right
now
and
just
take
a
another
look
and
say
what
amendments,
if
any
need
to
be
paid
and.
K
J
M
L
Would
like
to
continue
that
and
compliment
councilman
vice
mayor
city,
as
well
as
the
others
involved
in
in
obtaining
those
signatures.
It's
a
lot
more
work
than
I
realize
that
to
obtain
that
number
of
signatures
and
what
I
hope
happens
if
nothing
else
that
the
teachers,
not
just
in
Oklahoma
City
but
throughout
Oklahoma,
uses
this
as
an
example
to
teach
their
students
at
elementary
middle
school
in
high
school
about
the
way
our
democracy
works.
So
here's
a
group
of
individuals
who
are
not
satisfied
with
the
current
state
of
our
education
system.
L
They
decide
they
want
to
attempt
to
increase
the
funding
so,
instead
of
just
running
out
to
the
streets
and
beginning
to
protest,
and
sometimes
those
actions
lead
to
violence
and
many
times
the
message
itself.
It's
lost
because
everyone's
focusing
on
the
actions
of
those
individuals,
councilmen,
should
be,
and
others
went
through
a
process
to
where
they
were
able
to
obtain
sufficient
number
of
signatures
from
other
citizens
of
Oklahoma
City.
To
bring
this
forth
for
a
vote
and
I
just
think.
L
It's
a
great
example
for
our
teachers
to
use
to
young
people
to
say
if
you've
got
a
problem.
If
you're
not
satisfied
with
the
way
things
are,
this
is
the
most
effective
solution
to
address
those
concerns.
I
also
want
to
compliment.
You
know
clerk
Percy
and
her
staff,
as
well
as
Municipal
Council,
councillor
Jordan
and
his
staff.
A
lot
of
work
had
to
be
done
in
a
very
short
time
and
I.
I
know
that
this
is
just
going
to
continue
to
raise
awareness
and
discussion
on
the
issue
and
that's
the
important
aspect.
L
G
Real
quick,
a
development
that
we
kind
of
passed
right
over
and
in
the
beginning
of
the
council
meeting
the
appointment
of
a
group
of
citizens
who
have
volunteered
to
serve
on
the
citizens,
Capital
Improvement
sales
tax
advisory
board.
That's
the
board!
That's
going
to
be
helping
implement
the
expenditure
of
money
for
infrastructure
all
over
the
next
27
months
in
the
gym
for
the
extension
of
this
sales
tax,
and
so
that
that
ball
was
moving
forward.
L
James
I
swear,
I
forgot
to
I
mean
they
had
one
other
thing.
Speaking
of
that
Larry,
you
know
our
our
existing
Maps
3
is
beginning
to
wind
down.
We
only
have
about
another
month,
left
of
it
and
there
may
be
a
surplus
that
fund,
and
so
we
might
want
to
begin
thinking
about
what
to
do
with
that
surplus
over
the
next
several
weeks
and
I
wish
Councilwoman
Salyer
was
here
because
an
issue
I
was
involved
in
the
discussion
recently.
L
You
know
how
we
went
through
the
effort
to
make
the
downtown
area
a
quiet
zone
with
respect
to
the
Train
and
providing
either
closing
of
certain
streets
or
enhanced
guardrails
on
open
streets.
I
think
one
thing
that
got
lost
in
the
fact
that
this
sound
began
to
diminish
the
the
noise
was
I.
Think
it's
a
much
improved
safety
measure
to
have
those
extended
guardrails
in
place,
and
so
I
would
just
say.
Let's
consider
extending
that.
L
Quite
so
not
so
much
I
mean
it's
important
that
we
try
to
reduce
noise
where
we
can,
but
also
from
a
safety
standpoint
when
those
guardrails
actually
prevent
automobiles
from
crossing
that
during
the
time
a
train
may
be
coming
down,
the
tracks
is
extremely
important
and
I'm
sure
we
could
extend
it
further.
South
44th,
Street,
59th,
Street
and
then
north
I
think
it
goes
all
the
way
to
63rd
currently,
but
then
you've
got
Wilshire
and
then
written
Road
easily
to
look
at
Hefner
yeah
and
for
individuals
who
happen
to
live
in
that
area.
L
K
You
I
do
have
some
unknown
on
the
talk
talking
about
taxes
with
with
the
the
school
the
petition
drive,
I
think
it's
another
good
opportunity
for
people
to
be
educated
on
the
difference
between
sales,
tax
income,
tax
and
property
tax.
You
know,
because
there
are
positives
and
negatives
to
all
of
them
on
what
is
the
proper
way
to
tax
people
and
I.
A
And
I
would
just
mention
tonight
is
my
favorite
favorite
meeting
of
the
year
it's
the
Thanksgiving
service
of
the
Interfaith
Alliance
and
which
is
a
which
is
a
75,
different
faith,
traditions
and
belief
systems
that
all
kind
of
come
together.
They
do
it
in
cities
all
over
America,
but
here
they
kind
of
shift
to
a
different
church
or
synagogue
or
mosque
every
year.
Tonight
it's
at
the
Mayflower
Church
it's
at
7:30
and
just
really
talking
about
gratitude,
which
is
really
the
one
thing
that
every
religion
agrees
on.
It's
every
religion
tries
to
evoke
that
emotion.
A
It's
a
it's
a
universal
religious
virtue
and
just
in
the
last
20
years,
scientists
have
kind
of
caught
on
and
now
there's
this
avalanche
of
data
about
the
impact
on
our
health
and
happiness.
They're,
just
five
minutes
of
working
on
gratitude
a
day
can
provide
for
us.
It's
really
kind
of
stunning
and
so
that'll
be
the
topic
of
the
meeting
tonight.
That's
at
7:30,
at
Mayflower
churches
near
63rd,
in
Portland
and
along
that
lines,
I
want
to
wish
everyone.
A
F
R
Yes,
sir
good
morning,
mr.
vice
mayor
council,
it's
good
to
be
with
you
this
morning
and
as
the
city
manager
indicated,
yes
have
a
presentation
to
really
just
kind
of
provide
a
summary
of
the
report.
That's
in
your
packet
that
city
manager
report
should
provide.
You
know,
basically
an
outline
for
you
in
terms
of
the
progress
that
the
public
transportation
department
has
made
working
alongside
police
as
well
as
Public
Works,
and
really
modernizing
our
cities
on
street
parking
system.
One
that's
based
on
a
plate,
a
pay
by
plate
revenue,
collection
and
enforcement
system.
R
So
with
that,
we'll
hit
a
few
highlights
of
the
report
in
the
presentation
this
morning
and
wanted
to
really
organize
a
presentation
into
into
kind
of
three
pieces.
One
give
you
an
update
on
the
tasks
related
to
the
project
that
we've
completed.
Those
tasks
that
are
still
pending,
that
you'll
be
see.
You'll
see,
will
be
occurring
very
soon
and
then
talk
a
little
bit
about
our
communication
campaign
to
make
sure
that
our
community
and
our
visitors
are
aware
of
how
to
use
our
new
on
street
parking
technology.
R
September
26th,
actually,
council
approved
ordinance
changes
that
allowed
us
to
go
from
a
pay
and
display
system,
whether
the
whether
the
parking
that
was
paid
for
was
displayed
on
the
actual
mechanical
meter
or
displayed
on
the
the
vehicle
by
a
sticker.
That's
printed
from
the
parking
machines
were
able
to
transition
from
that
pay
and
display
to
the
pay
by
plate
technology,
so
that
was
a
that
was
a
big
step
for
us.
The
other
part
of
the
ordinance
changes
as
you'll
recall,
was
consolidating
our
at
that
time.
R
Existing
eight
different
parking
meter
zones
into
one
two
hour
zone
everywhere
that
on
street
parking
is
enforced
and
again
it
simplified
the
system
and
our
our
thought
is.
It
will
make
it
a
lot
more
convenient
for
users
to
to
able
to
pay
for
more
than
one
hour
of
parking
anywhere
that
we
have
our
parking
meters
now.
Parking
can't
still
be
purchased
in
15-minute
increments,
but
it
just
gives
a
customer
the
flexibility
to
go
more
than
an
hour
on
the
on
street
parking
anywhere.
We
have
the
parking
meters.
R
R
Some
other
things
that
we've
been
able
to
accomplish,
since
the
ordinance
change
was
approved,
is
our
kickoff
meetings.
I
mean
anytime.
You
have
a
project
that
involves
multiple
departments
and
multiple
vendors,
that
early
coordination
is
critical,
getting
everybody
to
kind
of
agree
to
the
work
plan
and
the
time
frame,
and
so
we
began
having
our
kickoff
conference
calls
and
meetings
just
very
quickly.
After
the
the
ordinance
changes
were
actually
approved,
we
had
a
meeting
with
parking
on
on
I
believe
it
was
October
11th.
We
had
a
conference
call
with
new
Park
on
October
20th.
R
We
had
a
follow-up
conference
call
with
new
park,
public
transportation
and
the
police
department
on
November
1st
and
again,
the
idea
was
to
do
as
much
coordination
as
we
could
up
front
before
our
vendors
are
on
site
and
bring
our
system
online
equipment,
installation
and
conversion.
So
this
will
be
a
big
piece
of
the
project,
and
this
is
something
that
you're
gonna
see
begin
to
occur,
most
likely
based
on
the
schedule.
Right
now,
the
week
of
December,
the
11th
and
again
I
mentioned
our
local
vendor.
R
Whether
be
electric
will
be
the
one
that
will
actually
be
upgrading
our
meters
with
the
new
keyboards
that
you
see
here
on
the
image
and
they'll
also
be
relocating
the
existing
electronic
meters.
If
you'll
recall
we're
going
to
go
to
one
meter
generally
one
meter
per
block
face
now
that
customers
don't
have
to
pay
for
parking
and
then
returned
to
their
car,
they
can
simply
pay
it
any
meter
in
route
to
their
their
meeting
or
their
destination
wherever
they're
going
to
we're,
estimating
that
to
take
about
20
days
to
transition
all
the
meters.
R
Over
again,
we
look
to
start
the
week
of
December
11th
and
the
first
location
will
be
Park
Avenue,
we'll
start
here
right
around
just
on
the
other
side
of
Hudson
and
we'll
work.
Our
way
down.
Broadway
will
then
begin
concentrating
on
the
project
180
areas
where
there's
already
electronic
meters
and
then
eventually
begin
positioning
some
of
the
electronic
meters
in
the
areas
where
we
now
have
the
coin-operated
meters
and,
at
the
same
time
be
removing
those
coin-operated
meters
so
that
customers
can
begin
using
electronic
meters.
So
it's
going
to
be
kind
of
one
of
those.
R
One
of
the
other
pieces
of
the
equipment,
installation
and
conversion
will
be
updating
some
of
the
permanent
signage
I
know.
Signage
has
been
a
question.
Well,
certainly
remove
the
existing
one,
our
parking
signs
if
they
no
longer
apply
and
then
as
we
get
further
along
in
the
process
where
additional
permanent
signs
are
needed
and
we'll
replace
them.
R
And
so
then,
as
far
as
enforcement
goes
the
week
of
December
18th,
the
new
Park
vendor
will
be
on
site
to
install
the
hardware
on
the
police
service
tech
vehicles.
You
see
one
of
the
vehicles
here,
the
Ford
escapes
that
will
be
equipped
with
two
different
cameras
and
just
to
again
kind
of
remind
you
how
the
technology
will
work.
R
New
Park
is
actually
the
vendor
that
provides
the
license-plate
recognition,
so
software
new
part
communicates
with
our
parking
on
parking
meters,
so
it
has
essentially
a
live
data
feed
of
what
license
plates
have
paid
for
parking
and
then
also
connects
to
the
license
plate
recognition
cameras
so
that,
as
the
vehicles,
the
police
vehicles
drive
down
the
street
scanning
the
license
plates
temporarily,
storing
just
the
license
plate
number.
The
system
will
be
able
to
identify
when
it
scans
a
plate,
whether
or
not
that
plate
has
a
current
paid
parking
transaction
in
the
database.
R
So
again,
we
think
from
an
enforcement
standpoint
should
certainly
be
an
efficient
means
to
do
that,
and
the
police
department
have
been
great
partners
and
working
with
us
to
to
make
this
happen
so
again.
December
18th
is
when
we'll
begin
installing
that
equipment
on
the
vehicles,
which,
as
you
know,
will
coincide
with
the
first
installation
of
the
pay
by
plate
on
Park
Avenue
the
week
before,
and
so
we'll
look
forward
to
doing
some
testing
then
and
then.
R
L
L
Let
me
throw
out
another
scenario,
so,
let's
say
you're
over
here
on
couch
drive
and
you
put
in
two
hours
and
after
an
hour
and
a
half
you
leave,
but
you
want
to
go
somewhere
else
downtown.
Well.
This
system
allow
you
to
carry
over
that
30
minutes
remaining
and
you
get
to
park
at
another
location
without
putting
in
I
mean
it.
R
R
H
R
R
Something
we
haven't,
we
haven't
thought
of
is
all
the
temporary
tags,
but
you
know
we.
We
know
that
our
current
bender
new
Park
does
this
and
other
cities
I'm
sure
it's
come
up.
So
we'll
have
to
ask
him
about
that.
I
appreciate
you
bringing
it
up,
because
it's
something
at
least
at
this
point.
We
have
not
discussed
in
our
work
plan.
R
And
you
know
we'll
rely
on
the
police
department
too,
particularly
for
that
enforcement
piece.
You
know,
there's
there's
areas
now,
as
you
know
that
they
that
they
enforce,
that
aren't
metered
the
two-hour
unmetered
parking
spaces
and
so
I'm
sure
there's
a
manual
way
to
do
that.
If
that's
what
it
came
down
to
but
but
appreciate
the
question
as
something
will
we'll
need
to
vet
before
we
launch
the
technology.
R
Okay,
so
talking
a
little
bit
about
communication,
we
know
that
one
of
the
biggest
parts
of
this
project
is
making
sure
the
community
and
the
visitors
are
well
familiar
with
the
new
technology
and
how
to
use
it.
So
our
communication
campaign
is
going
to
consist
of
signage
press
releases,
social
media
and,
of
course,
announcements
on
our
web
page.
So
got
a
few
examples
here
to
show
you
on
the
on
the
left
portion
of
the
slide.
R
R
This
is
the
concrete,
clean
signage
that
will
be
posted
on
each
one
of
the
blocks
with
the
new
electronic
meters.
So
in
fact,
council
actually
approved
an
item
today
on
the
agenda.
Revocable
permit
for
these
concrete
clings
and
so
again
similar
information
to
what
we're
going
to
post
on
social
media.
But
you
can
see
it's
basically
instructions
about
how
to
use
the
the
pay
by
plate
meters,
advertising
that
they
they
are.
R
They
do
allow
to
our
parking
increments
and
then
we're
going
to
place
these
two
per
block
face
in
some
cases
there
may
be,
you
know
more
per
block
face
depending
on
the
size
of
the
block,
but
the
idea
is
to
make
it
very
clear
and
very
noticeable
that
changes
have
come
to
the
on
street
parking
system,
and
this
is
how
you
use
it
I'm.
Just
on
a
side
note,
the
material
that
clings
are
made
of
our
a
non-slip
type
material
and
we're
starting
to.
R
Although
we
haven't
seen
a
lot
of
these
within
our
community,
they
are
becoming.
You
know,
more
more
I
guess
around
the
country.
So
so
anyway,
that
will
be
our
communication
approach
finishing
up
with
our
timeline
here
and
I've
went
through
most
of
this,
but
this
will
just
kind
of
give
you
a
snapshot
of
the
project
starting
from
November
our
current
month
running
through
January
and
then
Phase.
Two
and
I've
mentioned
this
I.
R
Think
during
our
initial
presentation,
with
the
ordinance
change
phase,
two
would
be
actually
developing
an
RFP
for
a
app
that
will
integrate
with
the
pay
by
play
technology
again,
adding
even
more
convenience,
so
that
customers
can
actually
pay
for
their
parking
from
their
phone,
not
only
on
the
initial
purchase.
But
if
they
happen
to
be,
you
know
in
a
meeting
or
at
an
event,
and
they
need
to
add
time
to
their
meter.
They
can
do
that
from
their
phone
as
well
as
long
as
it's
within
that
two
hour
maximum.
