Oklahoma City City Council - Tuesday, October 24, 2017
A
Well
good
morning
and
welcome
to
City
Hall
we're
gonna
get
started
with
the
invocation
and
the
Pledge
of
Allegiance
Reverend
Christopher
Tate
is
with
Quail
Springs
United
Methodist
Church
he's
going
to
lead
us
in
the
invocation.
Afterwards,
all
Ouse
Councilwoman
Salyer,
if
she'll
lead
us
in
the
Pledge
of
Allegiance,
but
would
everyone
please
stand.
B
Let
us
pray
gracious
and
Almighty
God,
as
we
gather
in
this
time
and
in
this
place
to
stay.
We
do
so
remembering
that,
because
of
your
love
for
us
that
you
are
always
with
us,
and
so
with
that,
we
trust
and
believe
that,
through
the
power
of
your
spirit,
you
are
here
with
us
even
now,
and
so
as
such,
we
ask
that
you
would
lead
us
that
you
would
guide
us
all
of
us,
your
servants
to
help
make
decisions.
B
That
would
reflect
the
perfect
love
that
you
have
for
all
of
us,
that
you
would
help
us
to
make
decisions
to
choose
those
things
that
would
help
us
to
perfectly
love
our
neighbor
as
we
love
ourselves,
because
we
are
reminded
that
in
doing
so,
we
most
fully
reflect
your
nature
and
the
love
that
you
have
for
all
your
children.
It
is
in
the
mighty
name
of
Christ
that
we
pray,
amen,
amen,.
A
A
C
D
So
this
is
our
third
year
in
South,
Oklahoma
City,
open
streets
is
a
really
simple
concept.
You
basically
closed
down
a
main
road
for
four
hours.
No
cars
can
be
on
the
road
people.
Bike,
walk
skates,
there's
all
kinds
of
activities
that
our
partners
come
and
offer
I
think
we
have
50
to
60
different
activities,
it's
completely
free
and
it's
all
about
getting
moving
health
and
wellness
and
promoting
active.
D
D
A
Be
able
to
recognize
anybody's
dog
all
right,
we
appreciate
it
very
much
and
the
city
County
Board
of
Health
has
a
great
relationship
with
the
city
and
they've
done
wonders.
They
are
nationally
recognized
now
as
one
of
the
top
City
County
health
organizations
in
the
country
there.
Their
progress
in
our
community
health
is
remarkable,
and
so
we
really
do
owe
them
a
big
round
of
applause
as
they
leave.
Thank
you.
A
C
Whereas
the
Oklahoma
City
Fire
Department,
is
actively
engaged
in
year-round
public
education
programs
to
raise
awareness
of
fire
safety
to
help
prevent
the
frequency
and
severity
of
fires
in
our
city.
Now,
therefore,
Mick
Cornett,
the
mayor
of
the
city
of
Oklahoma
City,
does
hereby
proclaim
the
month
of
October
2017
as
fire
Prevention
Month
in
Oklahoma
City,
and
encourages
all
citizens
to
learn
about
fire
prevention
and
fire
safety
and
to
apply
these
practices
at
home
at
work
and
throughout
our
city
and.
E
Yes,
sir,
it
is
this
year's
theme
for
Fire
Prevention
Month,
that's
two
ways
out
and
what
we
want
to
encourage
people
and
families
to
learn
about
Edythe
exit
drills
in
the
home.
This
gives
an
opportunity
to
sit
down
with
your
family,
to
learn
how
to
get
out
of
your
structure,
to
identify
ways
to
get
out
and
also
an
opportunity
to
look
for
smoke,
alarms,
check
their
smoke
alarms
make
sure
that
they
do
work.
We
ask
that
they
check
those
every
month.
Again,
it's
something
we
do
around
this
time
of
year.
E
We
want
to
focus
on
those
areas.
We
want
to
definitely
try
to
reduce
the
number
of
loss
of
life
in
the
city
and
that's
what
our
focus
is.
So
we
want
to
bring
that
to
light
so
on
the
smoke.
Alarms,
one
encourage
to
any
citizen
any
resident
can
go
to
any
fire
station,
get
a
free
smoke
alarm,
we'll
put
that
up
in
their
house
come
check
it
out.
We'll
do
actually
do
that:
a
safety
inspection
of
their
homes.
A
A
A
C
Halloween
is
a
time
for
jack-o'-lanterns
and
the
annual
appearance
of
ghosts,
goblins
and
strange
and
mysterious
creatures,
whereas
our
city's
children
celebrate
Halloween
by
dressing
in
costumes
and
visiting
homes
in
their
neighborhoods
to
receive
traditional
holiday,
treats,
whereas
the
annual
Halloween
activities
provide
an
opportunity
for
people
in
our
community
to
become
better
acquainted.
It
is
important
to
our
community
that
children
be
allowed
to
enjoy
these
traditional
activities,
but
that
measures
be
taken
to
ensure
the
safety
of
the
children
and
protect
the
rights
of
the
homeowners.
C
Now,
therefore,
Mick
Cornett,
mayor
of
the
city
of
Oklahoma
City,
does
hereby
proclaim
Tuesday
October
31st
as
Trick
or
Treat
trick
or
treat
night
in
Oklahoma
City,
and
he
encourages
children
and
adults
to
cooperate
in
limiting
the
time
of
activities
to
the
afternoon
and
early
evening
hours.
That
households
indicate
their
willingness
to
welcome
their
neighbors
by
turning
on
their
porch
and
exterior
lights.
That
youngsters
only
call
on
home
so
lighted,
and
he
asked
the
cooperation
of
all
citizens,
young
and
old,
in
making
this
a
happy
and
safe
occasion
for
all
all.
F
We
want
to
make
sure
that
the
children
are
safe
when
they
go
out
trick-or-treating.
You
know
it's
always
a
good
idea
to
take
them
to
a
safe
environment,
safe
neighborhoods,
utilize,
the
churches
that
have
the
trunk
and
treats
and
things
along
those
lines
make
sure
the
kids
are
wearing
clothing.
That
reflects
light
so
that
you
know
if
they
are
crossing
streets,
automobile
lights
will
light
them
up
and
things
along
those
lines.
So
they
stay
safely.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
the
kids
have
a
not
a
ghoulish
trick-or-treat,
but
a
happy.
Thank.
A
You
that,
and
if,
if
kids
want
to
participate,
they
should
go
to
houses
that
have
their
porch
light
on.
So,
if
you're
wanting
to
participate
in
trick-or-treat,
Tuesday,
October
31st
turn
your
porch
light
on.
Most
people
leave
open
the
door
at
least
the
stronger
door
and
and
I
can't
tell
you
how
most
adults
have
really
fond
memories
of
trick-or-treat
I'm
glad
we
can
participate
in
it.
Let's
show
our
appreciation
to
Doug

this

city

Let's.
A
I
A
All
right
we're
on
item
four
of
the
council
agenda
item
four
is
a
journal
of
council
proceedings
for
A's
to
receive
the
journal
for
October,
10th
and
4b
is
to
approve
the
journal
for
September
26
Sara
motion.
All
right
cast
your
votes
on
the
journal.
It
passes
unanimously
and
item
five
is
request
for
uncontested
continuances.
Yes,.
J
J
A
All
right,
any
other
requests
for
uncontested
continuances
move
on
to
item
6
revocable
permits.
We
have
a
couple
of
requests
today.
First
of
all,
does
anyone
here
from
the
Western
Avenue
Association
all
right
come
on
up
forward?
Let's
hear
more
about
the
2017
Wizards
on
Western,
which
is
scheduled
for
November
12th
at
Memorial
Park
on
Northwest
36th
Street
good
morning.
We
will
need
your
name
and
address
for
the
record.
It's.
K
K
A
A
All
right
and
we
have
another
revocable
right
away,
permit
with
the
same
group
holding
the
same
event.
Is
there
an
explanation
for
that?
Oh
come
on
up
and
tell
us
the
explanation
for
that.
So
so
it
looks
like
you
have
it.
You
I
see
you
needed
two
permits,
because
it's
going
on
in
two
locations
that
are
close
by
and
the
City
Hall
made.
You
do
two
permits.
I
get
it
now.
Okay,
well,
go
ahead
and
discuss
that
how
this
one
is
different
than
the
last
one.
K
Okay,
so
this
one
will
be
the
street
closure
from
44th
to
39th
on
Western
Avenue,
so
lots
of
vendors
food
trucks
as
well.
We
had
a
large
crowd,
so
we've
kind
of
expanded
the
footprint
this
year
made
sure
a
lot
more
Street
closures
and
directions
are
given.
So
people
know
where
to
go
and
people
can
still
have
fun
all.
A
M
A
N
O
I
make
a
couple
comments.
Sure,
first
of
all
item
a
the
resolution.
Renewing
the
agreement
with
the
Almonte
library
just
have
a
few
quotes
about
libraries
in
general,
just
to
squash
any
opposition
to
this
first
from
former
first
lady
Laura
Bush
libraries
allow
children
to
ask
questions
about
the
world
and
find
answers,
and
the
wonderful
thing
is
that
once
a
child
learns
to
use
a
library,
the
doors
to
learning
are
always
open.
O
Prior
to
her
former
first
lady
Lady,
Bird
Johnson,
perhaps
no
place
in
any
community,
is
so
totally
Democratic.
As
the
town
library,
the
only
entrance
requirement
is
interest.
Malcolm,
Malcolm
X,
my
alma
mater,
was
books.
A
good
library
I
could
spend
the
rest
of
my
life
reading.
Just
satisfying
my
curiosity,
a
couple
of
more
I
fell
in
love
with
reading
when
I
was
allowed
to
choose
which,
year,
whatever
books
I
wanted
to
check
out
of
the
library
and
finally
closing
a
public
library
as
child
abuse,
because
it
hinders
child
development.
O
O
O
The
library
noticed
that
what
was
happening
is
a
whole
family
would
show
up
so
many
times
in
this
neighborhood.
The
family
may
only
have
one
vehicle
or
they
walk,
or
they
take
public
transportation
and
it
becomes
a
whole
family
outing.
So
it's
certainly
serving
an
important
role
and
it's
great
to
be
a
part
of
that
service.
So
thank
you.
I
do
have
another
concur.
A
O
It
looks
like
we're
approving
to
pay
fifty
four
million
dollars:
health
care
insurance
for
our
retired
employees,
plus
on
top
of
that
over
four
million
of
Social
Security
supplemental
coverage,
which
I'm
becoming
more
familiar
with,
as
my
wife
will
soon
be
having
a
birthday
in
a
couple
of
months.
That.
P
O
That
she
gets
to
participate
in
that
process
and
my
point
is:
we
need
to
continue
this
coverage,
but
it's
an
example
of
how
health
insurance
has
gotten
out
of
control
and
I.
Think
just
as
we
discussed
last
week
that
it's
time
that
we
held
our
congressional
delegation,
accountable
as
it
relates
to
issues
impacting
the
city
of
Oklahoma
City,
in
particular
the
Main
Street
Fairness,
Act
of
which
would
provide.
O
Taxation
of
internet
sales
Congress
really
needs
to
get
a
get
control
over
this
health
care
problem
to
call
it
the
Affordable
Health
Care
Act
is
certainly
a
misnomer.
We've
seen
increases
well
over
10
percent
for
the
last
several
years.
Currently,
health
insurance
costs
are
taking
approximately
10%
of
the
total
expenditures
by
businesses.
O
I
have
yet
to
hear
a
an
explanation
why
Senator
Rand
Paul's
proposals
wouldn't
work.
We
allow
other
types
of
insurance
to
be
sold
across
state
lines.
Life
insurance
casualty
insurance.
What
is
the
reason
we
want
to
prevent
health
insurance,
which
reduces
competition,
increases
prices,
and
yet
Congress
won't
allow
that
so
I
just
think.
If
this
counsel
is
concerned
about
this
as
much
as
I
am
we
should
write
a
letter
to
each
member
of
our
congressional
delegation.
Now
we've
got
two
points:
I'm
not
going
to
suggest.
O
We
had
a
third
one,
such
as
tax
reform,
which
I'm
also
interested
in,
but
yet
we
still
can't
make
progress
in
that
area,
but
I
would
say
at
least
for
right
now,
focusing
on
two
components:
there:
inaction
inability
to
reach
agreements
is
certainly
impacting
the
city's
finances
in
regards
to
one
an
expense
that
being
health
insurance
and
to
a
potential
source
of
revenue
and
that
sales
tax
on
internet
sales.
Thank.
Q
A
H
Right,
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
AJ
is
sidewalk
improvements
and
I
just
want
to
point
out
idle
number
four,
which
is
North
alladhi
Avenue
from
northeast
23rd
to
Northeast,
eighth
northeast
12th,
Street
to
North
Lodi
Avenue
in
the
Northeast
16th
from
North
Prospect
Avenue
to
Martin
Luther
King,
again
from
North
Prospect
Avenue
from
northeast
20th
to
northeast
16th.
And
are
we
I
have
a
quick
question?
Are
we
applying
for
a
grant
or
we
have
to
receive
this
grant.
S
Maybe
she's
councilman
so
that
the
locations
that
you
have
on
this
grant
are
actually
locations
that
are
included
in
our
2017
bond
program,
but
they're
eligible
for
this
grant.
So
any
time
we
have
an
opportunity
to
identify
additional
funding
sources,
we
do
so.
If
we
get
awarded
on
these
will
simply
have
additional
bond
monies
that
we
can
spend
at
new
locations.
All.
H
P
You
Mara
I
just
wanted
to
mention
7
s
and
really
compliment
the
staff
for
being
such
good
stewards
of
some
of
our
federal
dollars
over
the
years.
This
is
a
resolution
that
approves
alone
from
the
Murrah
district
environment,
myrrh
district
revolving
loan
fund-
and
you
know
people
may
not
remember,
but
following
the
Murrah
bombing,
we
were
the
recipient
of
substantial
dollars
from
the
federal
government.
Some.
Q
P
Designed
to
help
attract
businesses
to
the
designated
area
and
to
help
those
that
were
already
down
there
and
a
fair
amount
of
those
dollars
were
in
a
revolving
fund
so
that
it's
people
use
them
and
paid
them
back.
Additional
funds
became
available,
and
so
recently
the
journal
record
building
which
houses
the
memorial
and
now
Heritage
Trust
was
sold
developed
in
a
an
additional
story,
was
added
to
the
building
now
making
the
building
a
high-rise
in
a
sense
and
it's
required
to
meet
some
additional
codes,
and
so
they
were
able
to
access
these
dollars.
P
N
R
E
is
a
project
that
I
mentioned
before,
but
this
is
the
contract
awarding
the
repaving
of
Sarah
Road,
just
north
of
Reno
reason.
I'm
mentioning
it
now
is
because
it
actually
has
a
schedule,
so
the
construction
supposed
to
start
in
November
and
then
it
should
end
in
March,
and
it
is
a
joint
project
with
West
Gate
Park
they're,
paying
for
half
of
the
construction
cost
and
then
a
g2
is
a
it's
it's
a
project
that
is.
R
This
item
were
actually
allocating
$450,000
from
the
2007
geo
bond
for
right
away
costs
to
state
highway
for
in
between
State
Highway
66
and
northwest
expressway,
which
part
of
that's
in
Yukon
part
of
it's
in
in
Oklahoma
City.
So
it's
an
interlocal
agreement
with
Yukon
as
well.
There's
been
a
numerous
car
accidents
up
in
this
area
and
there
and
we're
continuing
to
develop
it
residentially,
and
so
the
residents
up
there
have
wanted
us
to
do
something
about
it,
and
so
this
is
but
but
it
is
a
state
highway.
R
So
it's
it's
a
joint
project
with
with
them,
but
it
ultimately
it's
it's
ODOT,
that's
going
to
be
doing
it,
and
so
the
plans
are
about
30
percent.
Complete
the
the
plans
include
widening
it
at
portions
of
it
shoulder
extensions
turn
lanes,
so
it
should
make
it
make
this
portion
of
state
highway
much
safer
whenever
it's
done
bidding.
I
R
L
S
Annually,
the
city
and
other
cities
in
in
the
metropolitan
area
that
participate
with
the
association
of
Central
Oklahoma
governments,
ACOG
participate
in
projects
middles,
and
this
was
one
that
was
submitted
by
ACOG
to
be
partially
funded
by
the
city
of
Oklahoma
City.
So
this
was
awarded
to
us
through
that
ACOG
process
that
occurs
annually
and
the
funds
I
believe
come
federally
to
the
state
and
then
the
state
disperses
them
to
them.
It's
bounties
through
a
competitive
application
process,
so.
S
We
actually
do.
Each
years
we
submit
a
list
of
projects
from
the
city
of
Oklahoma
City.
We
work
very
closely
with
the
planning
department.
We
look
at
safety
projects,
so
this
can
do
anything
from
traffic
signals
to
striping.
This
also
includes
road
enhancement
projects
like
this
one
and
in
some
cases
it's
resurfacing,
especially
those
projects
that
are
starting,
become
critical
and
may
not
have
another
funding
source.
Clearly,
we
were
able
to
identify
some
bond
funding
that
could
pay
for
about
50%
of
it.
S
L
S
Absolutely
so
we
are
actually
coming
to
the
end
of
the
2007
bond
issue
and
I
would
be
happy
report
to
the
council
that
the
unlisted
funds,
because
we've
been
very
conservative
on
the
expenditure
of
those
up
to
this
point,
we
will
finish
the
bond
program
and
have
some
unlisted
remaining.
So
we're
able
to
make
these
recommendations
to
you
like
today
to
start
using
those
funds
and,
of
course,
with
the
17
being
passed,
we
have
a
new
unlisted
funding
source
that
will
help
us
go
into
the
next
ten
years.
You.
S
Is
actually
only
about
90
million
left
to
be
sold
under
the
2007
bond
issue?
I'm,
the
last
of
the
sales
is
expected
to
occur
in
2019
total
Street
projects
remaining
I
need
to
get
you
an
updated
number,
but
I
would
tell
you
that
the
majority
of
the
widening
ZAR
complete
and
we're
in
the
resurfacing
now
their
surface.
Things
have
a
lot
less
risk
because
there's
not
right-of-way
and
utilities
that
we've
experienced
in
those
early
years
with
the
widening.

9E
is
a
public
hearing
dealing
with
the
Western
Avenue
Business
Improvement
District,
and
this
first
vote
would
adopt
and
confirm
the
annual
assessment
role.
Is
there
anyone
here,
that's
hoping
to
speak
under
item
9e
all
right?
A
U
Good
morning,
I'm
here
to
speak
to
you
about
an
amendment
of
the
ordinance
known
as
the
median
safety
ordinance
specifically,
if
there
are
any
questions
related
to
the
litigation
of
the
current
ordinance,
I
would
suggest
that
the
council
enter
into
executive
session.
There's
an
item
on
the
council's
agenda
under
item
W.
That
would
allow
for
you
to
enter
into
executive
session,
and
then
any
vote
on
this
matter
could
be
deferred
until
after
that
executive
session.
If
that's
so
requested,
I'd
like
to
begin
by
you're
reiterating
that
medians
are
dangerous
location.
U
U
Vehicles
traveling
at
high
speeds,
while
talking
on
the
phone
or
other
matters
that
distract
drivers,
medians
or
physical
barriers
that
are
intended
to
separate
opposite
directions
of
traffic
traveling
traffic
and
their
intended
to
stop
vehicles
from
traveling
over
to
the
opposing
side.
They
can
be
used
for
a
temporary
respite
for
pedestrians
that
are
crossing
the
street,
but
are
not
intended
as
sidewalks
are
to
be
used
by
pedestrians
for
a
means
of
travel
to
sit
stander
stay
for
long
periods
of
time.
U
There
has
been
some
concerns
that
our
current
median
safety
ordinance
is
not
allowing
enough
medians
to
be
available
for
people
to
express
their
active,
whatever
activity
they
would
like,
as
with
any
ordinance
that
goes
into
effect,
there's
a
time
period
for
review
and
clarification.
In
this
situation,
we
conducted
more
study
and
research
to
determine
what
is
the
highest
risk
to
pedestrians.
U
Excuse
me,
National
Highway,
Traffic,
Safety,
Administration
determined
that
vehicles
that
are
traveling
at
40
miles
per
hour
have
a
85%
chance
if
they,
if
the
pedestrian
is
involved
in
an
accident,
there's
85%
chance
that
the
result
will
be
death
of
that
pedestrian.
That
is
the
highest
risk
that
we
are
attempting
to
mitigate
by
amending
this
ordinance
to
deal
with
people
sitting
standing
or
staying
on
a
median
width
with
traffic
within
a
budding
speed
of
40
miles
per
hour
or
more.
U
We,
we
don't
want
to
have
media
coverage
of
a
pedestrian
that
has
been
harmed
or
killed
because
they
were
sit
standing
or
staying
in
that
median
with
higher
speeds
comes
less
reaction
time.
The
average
reaction
time
for
drivers
is
about
1.5
seconds
the
time
this
time
is
higher
at
night.
It's
also
the
reaction
time
is
higher
during
straightaways,
rather
than
at
intersections
and
corners,
and
that's
because
drivers
are
not
anticipating
pedestrians
being
in
those
areas.
U
U
We
have
more
likely
to
have
deaths.
With
this
amendment,
there
will
be
an
additional
at
least
103
medians
that
are
no
longer
covered
by
the
median
safety
ordinance.
Those
are
going
to
be
medians
where
there
is
a
lower
speed
of
under
40
miles
per
hour,
and
thus
you
have
less
likely
chance
of
the
pedestrian
that
would
be
involved
in
the
next
and
actually
being
killed
or
suffering
from
grievous
bodily
injury.
U
You
also
have
the
US
Department
of
Transportation
National
Highway
Traffic
Safety
Administration,
who
reported
there
were
192
pedestrian,
injured
per
day
in
traffic
accidents
and,
on
average,
the
pedestrian
was
killed
nearly
one-point-six
hours,
a
pedestrian
was
killed
in
there,
nearly
every
1.6
hours
and
more
than
seven
point
five
minutes
in
traffic
injured.
In
more
than
7.5
every
7.5
minutes
in
traffic
crashes.
U
Another
interesting
statistics
is
that
90%
of
all
pedestrians
that
were
killed
in
traffic
and
vision,
collisions
involved
a
single
car
accident.
So
not
only
do
we
have
that
high
risk
that
Chief
City
indicated
from
76
percent
of
collisions
happening
in
intersections.
You
also
have
the
higher
90%
figure
of
vehicle
single
car
accidents
that
can
cause
fatalities
to
pedestrian.
U
And,
lastly,
we
have
also
provided
more
a
more
research
on
whether
or
not
there
is
an
actual
width
at
which
a
median
does
become
safe
for
pedestrians
to
sit
stander
stay
for
longer
than
just
that
temporary
respite
in
crossing
the
street
and
the
traffic
engineers
that
we
have
consulted
with
have
determined
that
there
is
not
a
study
that
can
be
done
or
width
at
which
that
medium
becomes
a
safe
location.
And
that's
important
to
note,
because
our
previous
ordinance
did
have
a
width.
U
A
Right,
Thank,
You
Amanda:
these
are
adjustments
we're
making
and
if
anybody
has
comments
or
questions,
we
should
probably
reserve
that
for
executive
session.
Does
anybody
want
to
move
this
to
executive
session
later
or
ready
to
go
and
have
it
introduced
all
right?
How
about
a
motion
then
to
introduce
item
9g
the
item?
All
right
cast
your
votes.
It
passes
unanimously.
A
A
A
N
A
V
You
good
morning
last
water
sewer
costs,
service
study
was
performed
in
2014
and
a
three-year
rate
plan
was
adopted
by
City
Council.
At
that
time,
we're
the
last
rate
increase
was
implemented,
October
2016.
So
over
the
past
year
we
have
performed
an
updated
cost
service
study
for
water
wastewater
services.
V
Q
W
W
Excellent
and
on
that
slide
right
there,
you
will
see
this.
The
first
in
the
second
hundred
mile
pipeline.
The
first
pipeline
is
a
sixty
inch
diameter
pipe
line.
The
second
pipe
line
will
be
a
72
inch
pipe
line,
expanding
our
ability
to
meet
our
current
population
in
Oklahoma
City.
We
have
about
650
thousand
residents
in
Central
Oklahoma.
W
Next
slide
on
our
capital
plan,
you'll
see
the
two
pie
charts.
The
first
pie
chart
is
the
next
five
years:
Oklahoma
City,
where
utilities
trust
will
spend
1.3
billion
dollars
on
a
capital
program
over
the
10-year
period,
2.5
billion
dollars.
When
you
compare
that
as
an
example
over
the
last
five
years,
the
water
trust
has
spent
five
hundred
and
fifty
six
point
five
million
dollars
on
capital
plan.
So
we're
going
to
is
much
larger
capital
plan
as
we
pursue
this
additional
water
supply,
we'll
be
spending
over
seven
hundred
million
dollars.
W
Seventy
percent
of
all
the
expenditures
will
be
for
water,
so
many
improvements
will
be
made
to
the
water
system
over
the
next
five
years.
Sixty
six
percent
of
all
of
the
improvements
for
water
over
the
over
the
ten
years,
so
we're
paying
a
lot
of
money
on
water
over
the
next
ten
years.
So
we
can
capitalize
on
that
satisfying
the
long-term
water
supplies
for
Central
Oklahoma.
There
will
be
other
capital
projects
that
we'll
talk
about
in
a
minute
in
the
capital
plan.
Next
slide,
you
see
the
water
in
that
pitcher
to
the
lower
left.
W
That
is
the
flood
from
2015
that
washed
out
the
Atoka
spillway.
If
you've
been
able
to
go
down
to
taupe,
you
see
all
the
concrete
once
that
water
recede
destroyed
and
will
be
repairing
that
as
a
part
of
the
project
that
expected
to
be
in
the
35
to
40
million
dollar
range,
we'll
also
be
doing
more
water
and
wastewater
main
replacements
in
neighborhoods,
or
increasing
the
amount
of
investments
in
neighborhoods
to
improve
the
service
that
they
have
as
well.
W
Next
slide
we're
also
changing
the
strategy
on
our
capital
plan
or
moving
to
an
asset
management
program.
Currently,
we
maintain
and
replace
our
infrastructure
based
on
the
failure
rate.
How
many
main
breaks
we
have
in
a
certain
area
will
dictate
how
fast
we
go
about
and
the
priorities
of
those
we're
moving
to
an
asset
management
program
where
we
will
be
examining
the
condition
of
the
assets,
developing
maintenance,
repair
replacement
programs
based
on
the
current
state
and
remaining
useful
eyes
of
life
of
those
assets
that
will
result
in
reduced
service
disruptions
to
customers
over
time.
W
Next
slide
in
Oklahoma
City.
We
have
about
two
hundred
and
thirteen
thousand
customers
connected
that
we
provide
bills
to
directly
those
are
in
city
of
Oklahoma
City
out
in
the
unincorporated
counties
in
warriors
and
the
village.
We
also
have,
of
course,
the
wholesale
connections.
We
have
eighteen,
other
communities,
other
cities
and
rural
water
districts
that
we
provide
drinking
water
or
wholesale
water
or
wastewater
or
wholesale
service
through
economies
of
scale.
These
outside
city
sales,
just
like
the
sales
tax
for
the
city,
help
others
pay.
W
W
As
we
start
the
construction,
this
new
project,
as
that
plan
became
implemented,
we
were
able
to
have
many
opportunities
to
go
before
Moody's
and
Standard
&
Poor's
for
ratings,
and
we've
gone
from
double-a
to
double-a,
plus
and
now
Triple
A,
with
both
S&P
and
Moody's.
As
we've
implemented
that
capital
plan,
where
we
blend
a
certain
amount
of
our
expenditures
are
funded
from
bonds
and
another
part
are
funded
from
urine
revenues.
W
W
When
you
look
at
our
coverage
ratios,
every
one
thing
like
a
lot
of
people
are
familiar
with
a
FICO
score.
Ours
is
the
Triple
A
rating.
With
with
that,
there
are
two
rating
numbers
that
these
rating
agencies
look
at.
One
is
called
a
revenue
bond
coverage.
The
other
is
called
a
fixed
charge.
Coverage
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
each
one
with
the
with
the
revenue
bond
coverage
of
two.
It
means
that,
for
after
satisfying
operations
and
maintenance
expenses
for
every
dollar
we
spend
on
debt
service,
we
have
another
dollar
available
for
Pago.
W
We
meet
that
two
times
coverage
ratio,
another
rating
that
came
about
in
2008,
where
standard
&
poor's
recommended
that
utilities
consider
using
a
fixed
charge
coverage
ratio.
What
that
means
is
the
base
charges
before
we
sell
one
drop
of
water.
Can
we
meet
our
debt
service?
And
so
you
take
the
revenues
from
fixed
charges
divided
by
the
debt
service
and,
if
that's
one
times,
they're
better
than
your
adequate
one
times
is
adequately,
and
we
are
adequate
at
that.
We're
doing
that
too.
W
Another
thing
that
we
look
at
is
innovative
contract
pricing,
the
water
trust
and
the
City
Council
approved
changes
to
the
way
that
we
charge
for
water
outside
city
in
2006,
2007
timeframe
will
be
migrated
to
something
called
a
service
availability
rate
where
we
charge
based
upon
the
capacity
they
potentially
would
you,
rather
than
the
actual
water
they
use
on
any
particular
year,
because
they
have
a
propensity
to
use
us
more
in
drought
and
less
in
rainy
weather.
So
we
wouldn't
have
an
even
revenue
flow
now
with
this
new
pricing.
W
So
awkward
has
just
like
the
city
has
a
financial
advisor,
the
FM
public
financial
management,
who
has
been
helping
us
work
through
these
financial
planning
for
many
years,
so
that
we
can
stay
on
track
and
incrementally
make
these
adjustments
to
fees
over
times
and
balance
things
out.
So
we
don't
become
over
leveraged
on
debt.
We
blend
that
properly
and
we
do
regular
updates
and
we
converted
to
a
commercial
paper
program
about
ten
years
ago.
W
So
we
reduce
the
amount
of
temporary
interest
financing
that
we
have
to
spend
on
bonds,
and
we
now
have
hired
Carollo
engineers
about
four
years
ago,
where
they
started
working
with
us
on
cost
of
service
studies,
cost
of
service
studies
make
make
possible
for
us
to
understand.
The
amount
of
our
revenues
should
be
derived
from
fees
to
each
class
of
service.
What
should
residential
customers
pay
based
on
their
demand
on
our
system?
What
should
wholesale
customers
pay
based
on
their
demand
in
our
system
or
commercial
industrial
customers
pay?
W
What
should
arrogation
pay,
and
so
those
analyses
were
done
by
Carollo
as
and
then
they
use
those
to
help
figure
out.
What
should
the
fee
adjustments
be
to
each
of
those
classes
of
customers?
At
the
same
time,
one
of
the
decisions
that
were
made
by
the
trust
and
the
council
was
to
incrementally
move
to
the
full
cost
of
full
method
of
water
conservation,
oriented
rates
where
we
have
inclining
block
rates.
X
All
right,
Thank,
You,
Brett,
okay,
so
first
I'll
start
by
explaining
the
process
that
we
go
through
to
develop
the
rate
recommendations
is
a
three-step
process
you
can
see
here.
The
first
step
is
called
revenue
requirements
analysis.
This
is
the
step
where
we
take
the
operating
budget,
the
capital
improvements
plan
and
we
look
forward
and
we
determine
how
much
of
a
revenue
increase
we
need
in
each
year.
X
Things
like
that,
based
on
how
that
customer
class
is
using
the
system,
so
a
customer
class
that
Peaks
more
than
one
that
doesn't,
would
pay
more
of
those
peeking
related
costs.
After
we
determine
how
much
revenue
needs
to
be
recovered
from
each
class,
we
then
go
into
the
rate
design
and
that's
where
we
determine
what
the
rates
need
to
be
in
order
to
recover
that
amount
of
the
revenue
from
that
class.
X
So,
as
Brett
mentioned
we're
now
in
Phase,
two
of
our
study
and
in
phase
one,
we
adjusted
the
base
charges
so
that
we
could
continue
to
recover
at
least
one
times
that
debt
service
payment
from
those
fixed
charges.
We
also
established
the
two-block
conservation
structure
that
was
for
both
residential
and
non-residential,
and
then
we
said
as
part
of
our
recommendations
in
phase
one
that
in
Phase
two
we
wanted
to
look
at
adding
additional
blocks,
particularly
for
residential
customers.
X
We
are
also
recommending
the
addition
of
a
manufacturing
customer
class
that
would
have
a
uniform
rate
and
that
class
would
be
for
large
industrial
customers
that
have
very
low
peaking
factor
and,
as
you
can
see
here,
the
rate
adjustments
that
we're
recommending
are
largely
driven
by
the
Atoka
pipeline
project.
That
Brett
described
that's
about
2.6
percent
of
the
increase,
and
we
also
have
an
increase
to
the
OG&E
rates
that
are
paid
by
the
utility,
and
that
was
an
additional
1.4
percent
of
this
increase.
X
So
this
slide
here
shows
you
a
breakdown
of
the
bills
and
the
usage
by
usage
amount,
so
you
can
see
at
the
top
the
first
two
thousand
gallons,
so
all
customers
that
use
two
thousand
gallons
they're
going
to
receive
or
they're
going
to
pay
that
lowest
rate
the
block
one
rate
for
that
first,
two
thousand
gallons.
So
really
all
of
the
customers
are
going
to
benefit
from
that
and
these
percentages
the
first
one
here,
the
percentage
of
usage.
That
means
twenty
eight
point.
X
Eight
percent
of
the
total
usage
would
be
billed
at
that
block
one
rate,
and
then
you
have
twenty
six
point.
Nine
percent
of
your
bills
would
only
hit
block
one.
That
means
you
have
twenty
six
point.
Nine
percent
of
your
customers
that
are
using
two
percent
or
less
are
sorry,
two
thousand
gallons
or
less
each
month,
and
this
is
for
residential
single-family
residential
customers.
X
We
are
recommending
taking
what
is
now
your
block,
one,
that
is
for
the
first
ten
thousand
gallons
and
splitting
that
into
these
two
blocks,
so
that
can
benefit
those
customers
who
are
using
two
thousand
gallons
or
less,
and
it
would
help
offset
the
increase
that
we're
recommending
for
that
base
charge
so
that
we
can
try
to
keep
their
bills
in
that
affordable
range.
We
know
that
these
are
customers
who
are
likely.
X
You
know
they're
low
volume
customers,
so
they
could
be
retirees,
they
could
be
empty
nesters.
They
probably
have
very
little
irrigation
if
any,
and
so
we
want
to
encourage
them
to
continue
to
conserve,
and
we
want
to
reward
them
for
the
conservation
that
they've
already
been
doing,
and
so
then
we
have
block
two,
which
is
now
your
next
8,000
gallons,
so
between
two
thousand
and
ten
thousand,
and
these
are
still
customers
that
are
conserving
they're,
not
using
very
much
outdoor
water.
X
X
This
graph
illustrates
the
same
table
that
we
just
saw
it's
just
in
a
graphical
format.
You
can
see
the
blue
lines,
they're
separate
the
proposed
blocks,
and
so
you
can
see
they're
block
one.
You
have
20
I,
think
it
was
23%
of
the
usage
and
about
27%
of
the
bills,
and
you
have
then
blocked
2
is
where
you
see
a
big
jump
in
not
only
number
of
bills,
but
also
in
the
usage
itself,
and
then
you
can
see
that
in
that
highest
block
block
four.
X
This
slide
shows
the
proposed
residential
water
rates
at
the
top.
We
have
the
base
charge
for
a
5/8
inch
meter
and
so
we're
recommending
going
from
14.9
since
per
month
to
18
dollars
and
38
cents
per
month
and
on
average
that's
an
increase
of
one
dollar
and
seven
cents
each
year,
and
then
you
can
see
the
four
blocks:
they're,
the
first
two
thousand
gallons,
the
next
eight
thousand
next
twenty
thousand
and
then
anything
over
thirty
thousand
gallons
and
at
the
far
right.
You
can
see
the
average
increase
each
year
to
the
rate
for
that
block.
X
X
X
It
could
simply
be
that
that's
how
their
business
works,
and
so
we
want
them
to
they're
going
to
pay
more
because
they
are
causing
peaking.
But
we
don't
want
them
to
pay
that
highest
rate
simply
because
their
business
is
seasonal,
and
so
we
have
that
second
block
and
that
rate
would
increase
by
about
19
cents
each
year
and
then
for
that
highest
block.
Where
we
do
see
a
lot
of
irrigation,
we
recommend
an
increase
of
about
53
cents
each
year
and
then
at
the
bottom.
X
X
So
we're
showing
here
some
sample
non-residential
bills
for
different
types
of
customers,
staff
pulled
bills.
For
these.
You
know
a
sample
bill
for
each
of
these
customers,
and
so
we're
showing
you
the
exact
amounts
that
they
would
be
paying
if
they
were
to
have
the
same
usage
that
they
had
in
2017.
X
So
at
the
top
we
have
a
hospital
their
average
winter
consumption
is
five
thousand
one
hundred
fifty
nine
units,
but
they
have
a
relatively
high
bill
for
that,
as
you
can
see,
if
you
compare
them
to
the
customer
below
that
which
is
a
shopping
mall,
and
so
that
means
that
that
hospital
has
a
high
peaking
factor,
so
they
are
hitting
blocks
two
and
three
pretty
regularly,
whereas
that
shopping
mall
under
that
commercial
category
is
likely
not
hitting
those
upper
blocks.
Very
often,
their
bill
is
pretty
stable.
X
We
also
have
some
sample
manufacturing
bills,
manufacturing
customers
use
at
least
five
million
gallons
a
month,
and
so
these
are
customers
like
coca-cola
or
Lopez
foods,
and
so
you
can
see
because
they
have
a
uniform
rate.
Their
bill
is
pretty
consistent,
whether
they
use
5,000
units
or
10,000
a
month.
It's
just
roughly
double.
X
For
wholesale,
as
Brett
mentioned,
we
have
developed
a
rate
structure
that
would
recover
the
wholesale
customers
proportionate
share
of
the
costs,
both
operating
and
capital.
We
have
split
the
excess
rate
for
service
availability
into
two
blocks
again.
This
is,
you
know,
further
strengthening
our
conservation
message
that
we
want
to
give
to
all
customers,
including
wholesale
customers,
and
so
you
can
see
the
average
annual
increase
on
the
far
right
for
each
of
those
rates.
X
X
So
now
we'll
move
on
to
wastewater
rates.
We
did
not
recommend
any
changes
to
the
wastewater
rate
structure.
We
just
simply
updated
the
rates,
so
we
have
a
fixed
charge
similar
to
water
in
the
recommended
annual
increase,
for
that
is
an
average
of
54
cents
each
year
for
a
5/8
inch
meter.
We
also
have
single-family
multifamily
and
commercial
industrial,
they
all
pay
the
same
uniform
rate
and
that
is
an
average
annual
increase
of
15
cents
and
then
for
our
Sam,
our
industrial
customers
who
have
permits
and
are
sampled
regularly.
X
X
X
So
when
we
combine
the
recommended
water
and
wastewater
increases,
we're
showing
here
some
sample
bills
for
residential
customers
at
the
top.
That's
your
low
volume
customer
we're
assuming
that
they
are
taking
2000
gallons
of
water
each
month
and
that
they're
discharging
2000
gallons
of
wastewater
each
month,
and
you
can
see
the
average
annual
increase
to
their
total
bill
is
two
dollars
and
two
cents
for
your
typical
residential
customer.
X
W
So,
in
summary,
with
the
approval
of
this
rate
plan
and
financial
plan,
the
city
and
the
trust
will
be
able
to
initiate
the
construction
of
the
otoko
pipeline
to
secure
a
long-term
water
supply
for
the
city.
So
we'll
have
ample
water
supplies
for
2060.
We
will
have
implemented
fully
the
conservation
oriented
rates
so
that
we
will
provide
a
financial
incentive
for
people
to
to
conserve
water
and
and
know
what
the
cost
of
that
additional
water
is.
If
they
waste
water,
water
in
the
rain
or
whatever,
the
rates
will
be
cost
of
service
base.
W
So
each
class
will
pay
their
fair
share
as
we
implement
the
capital
plan.
No
subsidy
between
classes,
we're
going
to
have
a
minimal
impact
to
usage
applause,
one
and
block
two,
and
the
brunt
of
that
will
be
at
the
higher
amounts
of
water
use,
regardless
of
the
class
you're
in
wholesale
customers,
will
find
their
share
of
system
improvements
and
we'll
have
a
new
manufacturing
rate
so
that
we
won't
over
charge
them,
as
as
he
encourage
economic
development,
our
community
and
their
use,
to
help
pay
for
our
improvements.
A

J
Y
Morning,
Kenny
sudo
with
the
finance
department
very
quickly.
If
you
recall,
the
debt
management
policy
was
adopted
by
council
in
February
of
2015.
Pardon
me
it's
it's,
the
general
policies
limits
on
debt,
issuance
structure,
etc.
So
one
of
the
things
that
also
deals
with
is
the
selection
of
the
service
providers
that
we
use
when
we
do
a
bond
issue.
So
sorry,
one
of
those
proposed
changes
or
the
proposed
changes
before
you
today
is
really
about
how
we
select
underwriters,
and
so
what
we're
proposing
is
that
we
provide
the
ability
to
an
underwriter
pool.
Y
So
just
to
give
you
some
background,
a
a
debt
issuance
is
a
pretty
lengthy
process,
takes
three
to
four
months:
multiple
approvals.
You
all
see
multiple
resolutions
or
ordinances
depending
on
the
type,
but
you
know
if
the
trust
is
involved,
they
have
to
prove
things:
there's
writing
meetings,
etc.
So,
when
we
do
a
negotiated
sale,
which
is
what
we
do
in
the
majority
of
these,
we
select
an
underwriting
team
and
typically,
we
do
an
RFP
process
that
RFP
process
can
usually
take
anywhere
from
six
to
eight
weeks,
and
so
that's
that's
a
lot
of
time.
Y
On
top
of
the
other
approvals,
etc,
generally,
what
we
do
in
that
RFP
is
we
ask
the
underwriters
a
whole
bunch
of
questions?
It
really
covers
two
areas.
One
of
the
areas
is:
what
are
their
qualifications?
The
other
set
of
questions
relate
to
the
specific
bond
deal,
that's
at
hand.
So
if
this
change
was
approved,
we
really
would
keep
a
very
similar
process.
Y
What
we
would
do
is
issue
a
request
for
qualifications
and
on
that
process
we
would
ask
the
same
questions
about
their
qualifications,
that
we
normally
ask,
and
then
a
committee
would
be
formed
to
make
recommendation
to
this
to
this
body
about
who
should
be
included
in
that
pool
once
the
pool
is
approved
by
council.
Then,
when
we
have
a
bond
deal,
we
would
still
do
a
mini
RFP
process.
That
would
ask
that
same
second
set
of
questions.
The
things
that
are
specific
to
that
bond
deal
and
same
thing.
Y
Y
It's
still
council
approval,
we're
just
asking
to
make
this
change
so
that
we
believe
that
having
a
pool
process
would
take
about
two
to
three
weeks,
maybe
of
time,
as
opposed
to
the
six
to
eight
and
really
it's
partly
about
adding
efficiency
to
staffs
time,
but
really
it's
about
allowing
us,
the
city
or
the
trust,
to
respond
to
market
conditions
that
may
be
changing.
So,
for
example,
if
rates
are
going
up,
maybe
we're
and
we're
doing
a
refunding
to
try
to
save
some
money
that
we
can
get
that
done
a
little
bit
quicker.
Y
Y
Very
similar
to
we
do
this
in
our
treasury
area
to
kind
of
on
broker-dealers,
and
it's
one
that
if
there
were
amendments
or
a
change
in
the
status
of
someone,
certainly
that
can
be
brought
back
any
time.
But
we
anticipate
that
we're
working
through
some
of
the
procedures
on
this.
But
we
anticipate
it's
something
that
we
would
bring
back
every
five
years
anyway
for
just
kind
of
really
shion's,
but
certainly
anytime.
We
could
come
back
and
make
a
deletion
or
an
addition,
and
that's
one
of
the
reasons
we
wanted
to
leave
the
regular
RFP
process.

is
city
manager,
reports,
oh
yeah.
Of
course.
Let's
go
ride
them
from
Council
mark.
H
Mr.
mayor
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
including
the
smallest
food
districts
in
teachers
of
the
year
by
you
doing
that
that
allowed
us
to
recognize
the
smallest
food
districts,
such
as
it
would
curricular
and
several
other
school
districts
that
I
have
in
and
in
Ward
7.
So
thank
you
for
that.
Mr.
manager
I
would
like
at
a
later
date
to
get
an
update
on
staffing
for
us.
The
fire
department
I
know
at
one
point
in
time.
H
P
P
P
It's
it's
a
real
hidden
gem
and
they
just
continued
to
lose
funding
so
be
able
to
partner
with
somebody
like
Amazon
now
and
she's
been
a
big
part
of
helping
them.
It's
a
great
school
and
I'd
like
to
just
take
this
chance
to
also
congratulate
ballet
Oklahoma
and
Oklahoma
City
Philharmonic
Civic
Center
didn't
have
an
empty
seat
for
performances
of
Swan.
P
Really
it's
not
like
this
weekend
and
you
know
I've
been
in
Oklahoma
City
for
a
long
time
in
that
Ballet
has
so
far,
I
want
to
say,
weeps
and
bounds
that
I,
probably
just
grown
in
talent
and
capacity,
and
most
people
have
probably
seen
that
the
Kirkpatrick
philanthropies
just
made
a
two
million
dollar
contribution
to
the
ballet
for
education
programming,
their
new
building
up
on
classing,
but
also
for
their
endowment.
So
we
should
expect
great
things
to
come
for
a
long
time.
It's.
P
A
O
And
if
the
city
initiated
this
study,
it
might
be
thought
of
as
being
more
independent.
You
know,
and
we
could
probably
have
input
as
to
what
issues
we
members
of
the
council
think
are
important
in
regards
to
that
study.
So
if
we
could
just
begin
talking
about
that
to
see
and
I
know,
we
are
still
in
in
the
process
of
completing
several
of
the
projects
related
to
the
current
maps
program,
but
we
could
at
least
begin
talking
about
it.
Maybe
having
a
plan
put
in
place
towards
the
second
half
of
2018
to
yeah.
A
O
Plan
for
and
I'm
going
to
make
a
statement,
which
probably
is
incorrect.
You
know,
as
it
relates
to
the
maps
for
kids,
uh-huh
I,
just
don't
see
that
program
as
important
as
it
was
providing
a
stimulus
for
private
investment.
It
just
wasn't
designed
for
that,
but
I
do
think
the
map
Swan
and
maps
three
those
types
of
investment
do
attract
additional
private
investment.
I
just
think
it
would
be
interesting
to
see
and
I
I
just
think
having
the
city
and
the
shape
or
sponsor
of
the
study
might
be
good
anyway.
Thank
you.
Okay
could.
P
I
just
make
a
quick
comment
on
David's,
because
I
do
think
the
important
thing
about
maps
for
kids
that
we
seem
to
forget
is
that
made
an
investment
and
every
single
one
of
our
neighborhoods.
You
know:
we've
talked
a
lot
about
that
idea
of
maps
or
neighborhoods,
but
maps
for
kids
invested
in
every
single
one
of
our
school
buildings
and
they
are,
by
definition
scattered
anything.
That's
all
around
the
city
and
so
I
do
think.
That's
important
in
terms
of
investment.
No.
O
And
that's
a
great
point
and
again:
I
was
probably
incorrect
in
making
such
a
broad
statement
like
that.
So
let's
bring
that
program
into
the
study
as
well,
because
I
do
think
that's
an
extremely
important
point.
Putting
resources
into
these
individual
neighborhoods
did
have
an
impact
on
them
and
often
you
see
the
neighborhoods
surrounding
a
school
in
a
little
bit
better
condition
than
those
further
away.
So
thank
you.
Mm-Hmm
Todd.
L
I
had
a
conversation
last
week
with
a
very
dedicated
super
nice
guy
from
the
Pew
Charitable
Trusts,
probably
sent
all
you
guys
emails,
and
just
he
was
here
too.
He
basically
is
lobbying
senator
Lankford
Inhofe
to
try
and
get
a
dedicated
funding
source
for
national
parks,
and
so
he
wants
to
meet
with
the
council.
He's
met
with
Oklahoma,
City
Chamber
of
Commerce
and
I.
L
L
But
in
any
case
he'd
like
to
meet
at
the
council,
he'd
like
to
come
address
the
council
next
month
and
have
us
consider
one
of
these
resolutions
so
I'm,
just
the
messenger
but
I
told
him
I
committed
to
him
that
I
would
I
would
pass
out,
but
what
he
brought
to
me-
and
it
includes
just
information
sample
resolution,
the
other
cities
that
have
passed
it
Tom
Cole's,
act,
information
about
the
national
parks
of
Oklahoma
that
have
deferred
maintenance
needs
and
so
forth.
Thank
you.
That's.
O
O
L
Z
Z
We
are
on
target
to
meet
all
of
our
goals
for
this
year
of
have
had
a
good
first
quarter
with
a
number
of
bookings
and
a
lot
of
interest
in
what's
going
on
here
in
Oklahoma,
City
I
think
you
have
sales
tax
sales
and
use
tax
report
in
front
of
you
today
also,
but
a
hotel
tax
as
one
indicator.
We
are
up
four
point:
nine
percent.
Z
Through
the
end
of
the
first
quarter
of
this
fiscal
year,
five
of
the
last
six
months
the
hotel
tax
has
seen
an
increase,
so
certainly
looks
to
be
trending
in
the
right
direction,
not
during
the
first
quarter,
but
just
to
bring
your
attention
to
a
couple
of
things.
We
attended
a
major
trade
show
in
Las
Vegas
a
couple
of
weeks
ago:
imax
America,
12,000
participants,
including
exhibitors,
meeting
planners
event,
planners
vendors
suppliers
etc,
and,
as
a
part
of
that,
we
had
the
opportunity
to
schedule
appointments
with
meeting
planners
that
wanted
to
visit
with
us.
Z
We
had
53
30-minute
appointments
over
the
course
of
three
days.
That's
that's
26
and
a
half
hours
that
two
of
my
folks
spent
on
their
feet,
standing
in
the
booth
meeting
with
people
that
wanted
to
talk
to
us
about
the
new
Convention
Center
that
doesn't
count
all
of
the
walk
ups.
It
was.
It
was
very
gratifying
to
see
that
kind
of
result,
but
it
was
also
great
because
our
booth
is
10
feet
by
20
feet.
Z
Omni's
booth
was
by
50
feet
and
on
the
far
side
of
a
500
thousand
square
foot
hall
and
Omni
was
sending
people
over
to
see
us.
They
were
talking
about
the
hotel
and
sending
people
over
to
see
us
to
see
the
plans
for
the
new
Convention
Center,
so
some
really
outstanding
interest
in
it.
We've
got
a
lot
of
things
to
follow
up
on
now
and
as
we
get
closer
to
bidding
and
to
groundbreaking,
we
should
begin
to
see
some
real
strong
results.
Z
O
Z
That's
the
backbone
is
the
backbone
for
a
very
high-end
technology
program
is
certainly
built
into
what's
being
designed,
having
been
through
the
construction
of
these
things
before
the
final
implementation
of
that
is
really
late
in
the
program.
Yes,
because
anything
you
buy
today
is
going
to
be
out
of
date
before
we
break
ground,
so
you
know
it's
having
that
backbone
in
there
having
the
capability
and
populace
and
their
consultants
are
very,
very
good
on
that.
Well,.
O
I'll
just
go
out
and
make
this
statement
that
it
might
be
wise
if
we
satisfy
set
aside
some
of
the
surplus
if
we
do
have
any
surplus
on
the
maps,
three
funding
for
something
that
would
set
apart,
the
Oklahoma
City
Convention
Center
from
a
visual
electronic
standpoint
and
I'm,
not
that
familiar
with.
What's
out
there
to
even
give
you
any
examples,
but
I
think
it
would
be
well
worth
that
consideration
to
set
aside
some
funding
along
those
lines
again
just
to
set
the
Oklahoma
City
Convention
Center
apart
from
the
others.
Thank
you
all.
J
We
do
have
included
in
your
packet
the
fiscal
year,
2018
first
quarter
interim
financial
report
from
your
consumption,
and
we
also
have
the
October
2017
use
of
sales
tax
report
kind
of
happy
to
see
that
October
came
in
about
2.4
percent
above
projections
on
the
sales
tax
side
and
four
point:
five
percent
of
both
objectives
on
the
I'm.
Sorry
two
point:
four
percent,
above
on
the
sales
tax
side
and
1.8
percent
above
on
the
use
tax
side,
so
I
think
we're
doing
pretty
good.
