Description
The regular meeting of the Oklahoma City City Council for
Tuesday, November 20, 2018. Part 2 of 2.
A
Okay,
we
are
back
from
recess
and
are
now
convening
again
our
City
Council
meeting
we're
going
to
go
back
to
item
three
e1.
This
is
a
resolution
appointing
a
new
city
manager
for
the
city
of
Oklahoma,
City,
establishing
an
annual
salary
setting
an
effective
date
and
providing
for
certain
benefits
and
payments.
In
addition
to
salary,
I
want
to
say
that
we
had
so
many
great
candidates,
internal
and
external,
that
applied.
We
enjoyed
our
conversations,
you
know
I
think
I
speak
for
everybody.
When
I
say
this.
A
We
enjoyed
our
conversations
yesterday
immensely
and
feel
really
blessed
to
have
such
great
internal
people
working
here
in
our
city
and
to
have
had
the
opportunity
to
to
glean
some
knowledge
from
some
excellent
city
management
professionals
from
around
the
country.
Ultimately,
the
candidate
that
we
have
chosen
or
will
choose
potential
here
in
a
few
minutes
with
consideration
of
a
resolution,
you
know
really
rises
above
in
three
ways
that
I
would
characterize.
One
is
you
know,
financial
management.
If
you
take
care
of
the
financial
resources
of
our
city,
it
kind
of
makes
everything
else
possible.
A
But
we
think
will
be
well
received.
You
know
the
the
one
thing
among
others,
but
one
thing
that
the
the
city
manager
has
exclusive
purview
over
is
personnel
and
and
that's
something
we
can't
help
that
person
with
they
have
to
manage
it
themselves,
and
we
have
a
high
level
of
confidence
that
this
candidate
will
will
do
that
very
well
and
will
be
very
well
received
by
our
team
here
at
the
city.
So
with
that,
I
would
ask
councilman
McAtee
to
make
a
motion
Thank.
B
B
B
B
B
A
B
Are
worse
the
council
that
you
guys
and
gals,
whereas
the
council
desires,
to
make
the
appointment
of
Craig
Freeman
to
the
office
of
city
manager,
effective,
January,
2nd
2019
at
an
annual
salary
of
two
hundred
and
forty-eight
thousand
dollars?
And
whereas
it
would
also
like
to
make
a
car
allowance
of
seven
thousand
dollars
per
year,
both
being
effective,
I've,
o
1
p.m.
on
January,
2nd,
2019.
B
B
A
Okay,
well
with
that,
we
have
a
motion
in
a
second
to
appoint
Craig
Freeman,
the
city
manager
under
the
salary
and
benefits
stated
effective,
January
2nd
and
we
will
cast
our
votes
passes
unanimously.
I
bet
Craig's
watching.
Congratulations,
Craig!
We're
excited
to
work
with
you.
We
think
this
is
a
good
thing
for
the
city,
we're
we're
excited
and
obviously
Jim
somewhat
saddened.
Apparently,
maybe
this
was
your
last
council
meeting
to
sit
next
to
me,
but
I
bet
it's
not
the
last
one
you
attend.
