Description
The City of Oklahoma City City Council meeting for Tuesday - February 27, 2018.
A
Oh
good
morning
and
welcome
to
City
Hall
we're
going
to
get
started
with
the
invocation
which
will
be
delivered
by
Anthony
D
Allen
he's
the
staff
chaplain
at
the
US
Department
of
Veterans
Affairs
and
alladin
visiting
with
him
this
morning.
He
has
had
two
active
roles
in
in
conflicts
around
the
world.
We
appreciate
his
service
and
he's
here
to
lead
us
in
the
invocation
this
morning,
afterwards,
LS
councilman
Shadid.
If
he'll
lead
us
in
the
Pledge
of
Allegiance,
but
would
everyone
please
stand
good.
B
Morning
will
you
join
me
in
prayer?
Let
us
pray
O
God,
in
whose
presence
our
souls
take
delight.
We
come
here
together
again
O
Lord,
where
decisions
are
considered
and
decided
concern.
The
citizens
of
this
community
help
us
to
leave
the
tensions
and
frustrations
of
the
world
outside
the
outer
door.
Forgive
us
of
our
failures,
part
in
our
neglects,
cleanse
our
hearts
and
revive
our
weary
spirits,
give
those
in
authority,
wisdom
and
every
decision
and
help
them
to
think
clearly
grant
them
discernment
and
common
sense.
B
So
there
be
strong
and
effective
leaders,
help
them
to
lead
and
govern
with
integrity
and
may
their
integrity
guide
them
and
keep
them
on
track,
bring
together
our
scatter
thoughts
and
help
us
to
recall
our
victories
for
our
encouragement
show
us
ways
to
reach
each
other
in
the
spirit
of
love,
to
strengthen
the
precious
bonds
of
our
fellowship
grant
us
peace
within
and
between
ourselves,
help
us
to
nourish
each
other
and
promote
the
love
and
harmony
so
essential
to
us
all.
We
dedicate
this
time
together
to
you
and
thank
you
for
your
countless
blessings.
A
C
Mayor,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
be
here
mr.
mayor
members
of
council,
mr.
city
manager,
it's
always
a
pleasure
to
be
here,
so
thank
you.
I
will
give
you
a
brief
update
on
some
of
the
economic
development
activity
going
on
in
the
community,
but
many
of
the
topics
that
I'm
going
to
talk
about
are
very
similar
to
my
last
report
about
90
days
ago,
but
the
good
news
is
that
there's
really
significant
progress
on
each
and
every
one
of
them.
First
thing
I
wanted
to
mention
was
criminal
justice.
C
The
newly
formed
criminal
justice,
Coordinating
Council,
is
really
picking
up
now
and
moving
forward
or
the
task
force
that
was
initially
created,
left
off
and
through
collective
efforts.
We
have
now
reduced
our
jail
population
down
to
around
1,600.
When
I
talk
to
you
90
days
ago,
we
were
at
about
eighteen
hundred
and
fifty,
but
about
a
year
ago
we
were
at
2600,
so
we
have
reduced
the
jail
population
about
1,000,
which
is
about
40%
in
about
a
year's
worth
of
work.
C
That
is
a
big
reduction,
and
the
city
gets
a
lot
of
that
credit
because
of
what
the
city
is
doing
and
also
a
number
of
other
people,
but
a
very
dedicated
judge.
Cindy
Truong
has
really
done
a
lot
of
work
as
well.
We've
also
hired
a
an
executive
director,
the
first
executive
director
of
the
council
Timothy
Carter
Bono.
C
This
will
allow
the
council
now
to
really
speed
up
the
work
of
all
of
the
committees
and
the
implementation
of
the
task
force
recommendations
that
came
from
the
verus
study.
We
also
have
seen
success
at
the
legislature
on
a
bill.
The
task
force
recommended
it
an
is
supporting
which
allows
special
judges
to
release
inmates
on
their
own
recognizance.
C
Also,
due
to
another
bill
passed
last
session
that
we
supported
I've
been
named
the
chair
of
an
interim
Study
Committee
on
a
task
force
of
fines
and
fees
and
I
look
forward
to
when
the
House
of
Representatives
names
its
nominees
to
the
task
force
to
begin
that
work
next
thing
I
want
to
mention
is
the
innovation
district,
not
unlike
our
work
in
criminal
justice
reform,
a
very
important
next
step
in
bringing
in
an
executive
director
to
lead
the
effort
and
see
the
recommendations
become.
Reality
is
underway.
C
C
Already
in
2018,
we've
seen
some
major
announcements
that
boost
key
industries
in
Oklahoma,
City,
Kratos,
defense
and
security
solutions
incorporated,
which
is
an
is
a
leading
national
security
solutions.
Provider
announced
last
month
that
it
will
open
administrative
and
engineering
offices
and
production
facilities
in
Oklahoma
City
for
its
unmanned
systems.
Division
with
that
announcement,
Oklahoma
City
will
once
again
be
home
to
an
aerospace
production
facility,
which
is
a
huge
win
for
our
aerospace
industry.
Kratos
specializes
in
military
target
drones
with
fighter
like
performance.
C
The
company
expects
to
employ
roughly
350
people
in
Oklahoma
within
the
next
few
years
in
Oklahoma,
City
will
be
the
site
for
new
tactical
drone
production
of
particular
interest
in
local
startup
companies
that
continue
to
grow
and
add
new
jobs.
We
go.look
recently
announced
an
expansion
of
367
new
jobs,
so
this
is
a
trend
we
see
continuing
in
the
next
couple
of
months,
just
a
shot
just
a
shot
of
what
our
pipeline
looks
like.
C
We
have
27
manufacturing
projects,
we're
working
on
10
distribution
projects,
6
office,
6,
shared
service,
centers
and
5
call
centers,
so
a
pretty
healthy
pipeline
and
in
looking
at
the
projects
by
age,
more
than
half
of
the
projects
were
working
on
or
less
than
8
months
old,
which
is
a
really
good
indication
with
regard
to
aerospace
and
Tinker.
We're
very
excited
about
the
work
on
the
kc-46,
a
heavy
maintenance
complex,
that's
under
construction
on
the
south
side
of
Tinker
they're,
making
a
great
deal
of
progress
on
the
old
BNSF
rail
yard
site.
C
We're
also
planning
now
for
our
annual
DC
fly-in
to
washington
d.c.
A
big
reason
for
this
trip
is
the
engagement
we
have
with
officials
at
the
Pentagon.
Last
year
we
had
eight
four-star
generals
in
attendance
at
our
function,
which,
as
an
aside
senator
Inhofe,
remarked
to
me
that
we
probably
violated
some
military
protocol
by
having
all
those
stars
and
one
remitted
at
the
same
time.
So
we
will
try
to
replicate
that
again
and
we
welcome
the
city's
participation
in
this
particular
important
event.
C
We're
also
working
on
nonstop
flights,
just
as
the
good
job
amount
announcements
keep
rolling
in.
So
do
the
new
nonstop
flights
from
our
airport,
we're
continuing
our
work
to
market
frontiers,
new
flights
to
Orlando
and
San
Diego.
We're
also
beginning
work
to
promote
the
new
flights
to
Philadelphia
on
American
Airlines,
and
we
look
forward
to
working
on
promoting
the
via
air
service
direct
to
Austin.
We
do
this
work
for
the
airport,
trust
on
a
cost
only
basis
because
of
the
important
that
it
has
to
our
business
community
and
to
the
growth
of
our
visitor
industry.
C
With
regard
to
retail
development.
Recent
announcements
have
come
from
Costco,
which
is
here
today
and
on
your
agenda
in
Container
Store,
and
our
work
to
continue
to
bring
destination.
Retailers
to
the
market
continues
to
show
success,
we're
also
preparing
to
attend
recon,
which
is
the
International
Council
of
shopping
centers,
show
in
Las
Vegas,
which
we
go
to
every
year
and
we
hope
to
bring
back
additional
success
from
that
market.
C
The
last
thing
I
want
to
mention
on
a
final
note,
is
to
give
an
appreciation
for
the
true
partner
mayor,
Mick
Cornett
has
been
to
the
greater
Oklahoma
City
chamber
and
helping
us
grow
the
economy
and
improving
the
quality
of
life
in
our
community.
Whether
we
were
meeting
with
economic
development
prospects
are
working
on,
retail
development
projects
are
working
to
make
an
even
greater
place
to
live.
His
leadership
and
engagement
has
just
been
very
crucial
to
that
success
and
personally
I
want
to
express
my
thanks
to
the
mayor.
C
Who's
been
a
frequent
travel
companion
of
mine,
literally
planes
trains
and
automobiles
all
across
North,
America
and
I've
really
enjoyed
that
relationship
and
opportunity.
So
we're
going
to
miss
that
special
relationship,
but
hopefully
the
future
might
allow
that
to
continue.
So
thank
you
for
what
you
have
done
for
us.
Nice,
Tamara
and
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
C
Have
not
conducted
a
study,
but
I
have
had
conversations
with
economist
which
indicate
that
it's
probably
somewhere
30
to
40
percent,
comes
from
outside
of
the
marketplace,
which
includes
not
only
rural
Oklahoma
but
visitors
from
all
over
right
in
the
in
the
hospitality
industry
as
well.
So
I've
not
seen
a
breakdown
of
just
rural
Oklahoma
but
outside
purchasing.
You.

The
event
that
we
are
holding
is
called
the
I,
get
the
proper
name,
the
420
voter
registration,
education
and
campaign
rally
for
Connie
Johnson.
It's
for
well
it's
to
support
the
state
question,
7
I,
believe
and
to
support
the
passing
of
medical
marijuana,
and
it's
also
to
help
connie
johnson,
who
is
also
running
for
governor
in
the
November
elections,
to
support
her
view
and
everything.
G
And
basically
it's
to
educate
the
population
about
what
medical
marijuana
can
do.
What's
its
benefits
to
basically
destroy
any
stigmas
that
people
would
have
on
medical
marijuana
or
marijuana
in
general
like
how
there
was
I
guess
you
would
call
it
a
reefer
madness
and
everything
that
there
was
back
in
the
what.
G
I
36Th
annual
Red
Dead
classic
to
be
held
April,
7th
and
8th
this
year,
we're
having
the
bicycle
tours
on
Saturday
April,
7th,
10,
33
and
45
mile
bicycle
tours
in
the
morning
and
a
kids
event
in
Nicholson's
Plaza
in
the
afternoon
on
Sunday
we
have
the

The

and
10
K
runs
on
the
two-mile,
walk
and
baby
stroller
derby
in
the
afternoon,
starting
at

this
year
are
the
proceeds
from
the
event
are
going
to
with
kids
Oklahoma,
which
is
a
one-on-one
mentoring
program
held
for
the
inner-city
public
school
children.
I
I
I
A
Forward
to
it,
thank
you
uh-huh
Patti.
Thank
you
all
right,
we'll
recessed
the
council
meeting,
convened
as
the
Oklahoma
City
municipal
facilities.
Authority
looks
like
there
are
five
items
on
the
MFA
all
right
comments.
Your
questions
on
the
MFA
cast
your
votes
passage
anonymously.
What's
your
in
the
LC
MFA
convened
is
the
Oklahoma
City
public
property
authority,
three
items
all
right.
We
have
a
motion
and
a
second
comments
or
questions
here.
All
right
cast
your
votes.
It
passes
unanimously.
Well,
it's
you're
in
the
OCP
PA
convene
as
the
Oklahoma
City
environmental
assistance,
trust
for
items.
H
Your
Honor
before
I
just
like
to
talk
about
things
real
quickly
before
we
vote
on
those
sure.
So
what
this
really
deals
with
is
is
a
rural
recycling
facility.
Two
of
those
one
of
those
is
located
at
North,
East,
63rd
west
of
vidoe
Street.
The
other
one
is
at
74th
and
South
Douglas.
So
I'm
pretty
excited
about
that.
I
know:
I
knocked
a
lot
of
Reuel
doors
out
there,
and
a
lot
of
people
are
really
interested
in
recycling.
J
A
H
F
K
As
the
city
manager
said,
we
saw
you
about
six
weeks
ago.
I
think
it
was
end
of
January
and,
despite
all
the
weather
last
week
we
were
able
to
execute
successful
subcommittee
meetings
and
citizens
advisory
board
and
we
received
unanimous
approval
on
law
on
both
fronts
to
move
this
forward.
So
we're
we're
very
excited
with
you
here
today
to
walk
through
what
we're
calling
our
final
presentation
a
lot
of
it
I
know
all
of
you
have
seen
before,
but
that's
not
going
to
make
this
presentation
any
shorter.
K
We
think
it's
very
important
to
walk
through
the
final
plans
so
that
everyone
is
comfortable
with
what
we're
putting
in
front
of
you
today.
So
a
little
bit
of
the
history
of
the
project.
As
we
go
back,
we
still.
We
still
talk
about
the
design
principles
as
if
they're
we're
just
made
yesterday.
This
is
something
that's
been
important
to
us
as
we
move
forward,
and
you
know
over
the
past
six
months,
I'd
say
with
the
park
under
construction
in
the
streetcar
now
going
in
all
Overtown.
K
All
of
these
had
become
extremely
real,
so
there
was
a
lot
of
insight
that
we
put
into
these
over
two
years
ago,
when
we
came
up
with
these
and
to
see
them
coming
to
light
today.
It's
certainly
something
that's
very,
very
powerful
for
the
city
of
Oklahoma
City.
So,
and
that's
not
us
that
is
everyone
in
this
room
today.
So
that's
a
it's
very,
very
exciting.
K
Project
coordination,
along
with
you
know
our
internal
team
that
we
coordinate
with
on
a
daily
basis,
we've
probably
coordinated
hundreds
of
coordination
meetings
with
local
meanness,
with
local
authorities,
from
fire
to
planning
to
the
police
department
on
how
we
can
get
this
building
to
be
a
safe
and
operate
as
securely
as
we
possibly
can.
Even
as
far
as
the
code
officials
they're
probably
annoyed
with
us,
which,
as
many
times
as
we've
reached
out
to
them
to
make
sure
we're,
checking
all
the
boxes
for
this
building
to
be
safe
and
to
operate
accordingly.
K
There's
a
few
teams
up
there
that
I
want
to
add
the
the
Omni
Convention
Center
Hotel
we've
been
coordinating
with
them
recently,
their
architecture
team
has
been
a
good
partner
for
us,
because
the
buildings
will
interact
quite
frequently,
they've
been
open
and
we've
been
open
with
them
on
sharing
how
these
designs
will
go
together
and
function
as
a
convention
center
district
so
and
also
I,
want
to
add.
The
SMG
is
the
the
future
building
operator.
K
So
we've
been
working
with
them
closely
over
the
course
of
design
on
how
this
building
is
actually
going
to
function
and
we've
received
by
off
with
them
at
each
stage,
even
as
much
as
we're
doing
it
now
on
how
we
will
furnish
the
building
the
types
of
furnitures
as
far
down
as
the
utensils
and
so
on.
So
again,
the
operator
is
on
board
with
how
we're
going
to
use
this
building
as
well,
so
believe
it
or
not.
It's
more
than
just
populous
that
works
on
this
team.
K
Our
local
partner
GSB,
is
here
with
us
today
as
well
and
I
would
say.
This
is
just
a
short
list
of
the
amount
of
consultants
we
have
on
this
job
and
sixty
percent
of
this
list,
their
local
Oklahoma
City
firms,
so
we
might
be
out
of
Kansas
City,
but
we're
here
quite
often,
and
a
lot
of
this
work
does
come
out
of
Oklahoma
City.
So
it
does
have
that
local
local
stamp.
When
you
see
these
drawings
on
where
this
work
is
actually
coming
from.
K
When
we
started
designing
this
project
and
when
we
came
up
with
earth
to
sky,
we
really
wanted
to
emphasize
the
relationship
of
the
Oklahoma
City
landscape
and
how
it
touches
into
the
beautiful
horizon
in
the
sky
across
across
the
city,
and
so
we
we
went
through
many
design
studies
on
how
do
you
capture,
Oklahoma,
City
and
not
jail,
and
how
do
you
capture
it
in
a
building
convention
centers?
Sometimes
they
might
be
the
only
space
that
guests
see
in
your
city.
So
how
do
you
capture
the
momentum
and
the
energy
that
your
city
has?
K
K
We
took
form
opacity
and
light
into
extreme
consideration,
not
only
to
protect
the
building
but
protect
the
people
and
the
materials
inside
of
the
building
again,
some
precedent
images
that
we
use
of
local
Oklahoma
landscapes
in
history
to
determine
the
palette
in
the
look
and
feel
of
not
only
the
exterior
but
the
inside
of
the
building,
as
well
as
I
said.
Protecting
the
building
was
important
to
us
and
the
way
that
the
building
laid
out
really
started
to
drive
the
form
of
the
building
and
we
say
form
follows
function.
K
It's
basically
architecture
at
its
most
elemental
state,
and
this
is
something
that
we
did
not
come
up
with
in
a
bubble.
We
worked
very
closely
with
our
respective
subcommittee
Citizens
Advisory
Board,
to
come
up
with
a
program
and
a
layout
of
this
building
that
met
all
the
users
needs
and
all
the
stakeholders
that
will
take
part.
K
Over
the
course
of
design
I'm
very
proud
to
say
that
we
were
very
diligent
on
how
we
manage
the
program
of
the
facility.
The
program
that
we
started
with
over
two
years
ago
is
the
exact
same
program.
That's
in
the
building.
Today
we
never
had
to
sacrifice
any
kind
of
function
or
any
cell
ability
of
this
building
over
the
course
of
design.
K
Everything
that
you
see
today
is
exactly
how
it
was
designed
over
two
years
ago,
and
it's
a
testament
to
our
design
team
and
our
subcommittee
and
all
the
parties
that
we've
coordinated
with
to
see
it
in
this
state
today,
I'm
just
to
refresh
everyone's
memory.
It's
the
200,000
square
feet
of
exhibit
hall,
30,000
square
foot
ballroom
and
the
45,000
square
feet
of
meeting
room
space
in
the
building
is
designed
for
the
potential
connection
to
a
future
expansion
at
some
point
in
the
future.
K
I'll
walk
through
these
renderings
and
I'll
point
out
some
of
the
key
materials
that
we're
using
over
the
course
of
design.
This
aerial
is
starting
to
become
realer
and
realer
by
the
minute
we
flew
in
last
night,
and
you
can
start
to
see
the
outlines
of
all
of
these
features
in
the
park
and
shortly
you
will
start
to
see
construction
of
all
the
other
parcels
of
land
surrounding
it.
So
again,
certainly
exciting.
K
The
exterior
materials
are
made
up
of
a
pallet
that
we're
very
comfortable
with
we
use
materials
like
this
on
buildings
of
this
scale,
often
it's
a
combination
of
textured
plaster
insulated
metal
panel
for
our
ballroom
roof.
We
have
some
prefabricated,
concrete
panels
that
we're
using
and
a
combination
of
perforated
metal
panel
that
we're
using
the
screen
all
of
the
mechanical
equipment
and
all
the
exterior
stairs
around
the
facility.
I
want
to
add
that
these
are
high-traffic
buildings,
so
we
were
very
specific
on
how
we
lay
out
the
materials
and
the
maintenance
and
the
upkeep.
K
The
roofs
that
you
see
in
this
image
is
a
combination
of
that
metal
panel
that
we're
using
to
highlight
the
painted
sky
ballroom.
That's
that
40,000
r4000
exterior
balcony,
that's
directly
adjacent
to
the
ballroom
that
you
see.
Next
to
that
main
entry,
atrium
looking
west
over
the
park,
the
view
from
the
park,
you
can
see
the
building
rising
above
the
tree
again,
when
you
think
of
earth,
sky
and
horizon.
This
is
one
image
that
really
captures
it
all.
As
you
see
the
building
touch
the
ground
and
rise
into
the
horizon
and
into
the
sky.
K
Looking
south
on
Robinson
Street
again
I
want
to
point
out
that
the
underside
of
all
of
these
forms
that
you
see
around
the
glass
that
that
is,
a
wood,
a
natural
wood
material
that
is
an
engineered
product
again,
it's
something
that
we
think
checks
all
the
boxes.
It's
beautiful!
It's
warm!
It
is
a
palette
that
is
acceptable
in
the
area
relates
to
the
park,
and
it's
also
something
that
is
easily
maintainable
and
will
last
for
a
substantial
amount
of
time
as
the
building
is
a
live.
K
So
you
see
that
same
soffit
material,
looking
north
along
Robinson
Street-
and
this
is
a
view
on
shields.
Looking
north
I
want
to
point
out
in
this
view
that
this
is
the
back
side
of
the
building.
This
is
our
loading,
its
service
areas,
we've
taken
consideration
on
how
we're
going
to
screen
each
of
these
areas
and
the
loading
dock
will
be
a
busy
place,
not
necessarily
saying
it'll,
be
a
dirty
place,
but
it
will
be
a
busy
place.
K
So
it
was
important
for
us
to
keep
most
of
that
activity
behind
closed
doors,
and
this
is
also
a
security
reason
to
allow
trucks
with
the
right
credentials
to
get
in
inside
the
facility.
Also
on
the
roof.
All
of
the
mechanical
equipment
will
be
screened
by
the
same
screening
material
again
to
shield
it
from
the
view
of
not
only
pedestrians
but
cars
coming
north
into
downtown.
K
An
aerial
showing
the
relationship
between
Robinson
and
the
park,
it
was
decided
in
our
coordination
with
the
park
team
planning
that
there
will
be
a
single
crosswalk
at
the
center
of
our
building
that
will
connect
to
the
park.
This
will
provide
the
back
and
forth
between
all
the
amenities
that
are
located
in
that
central
area
of
the
park
and
the
main
entry
plaza
of
our
facility
and
then
the
view
coming
north
on
Robinson
into
the
new
gateway
into
Oklahoma
City
again.
This
is
this.
Is
that
exterior
balcony
of
you
looking
over
the
park?
K
I
stress
this
in
every
one
of
our
meetings
on
how
unique
this
is
most
convention
centers
that
we
work
on,
they
are
bound
by
the
city
grid
and
very
rarely
do
you
see.
A
facility
of
this
scale
have
the
opportunity
to
overlook
something,
that's
powerful.
So
this
is
truly
something
that's
not
only
unique
to
the
conventions
industry.
K
This
is
unique
for
Oklahoma
City,
as
well,
so
very,
very
cool
exterior
elevations
to
see
the
overall
form
of
the
building
and
as
we
move
into
the
interior,
the
building
is
broken
up
on
three
levels,
and
this
is
where
we
really
put
the
earth
horizon
and
sky
concepts
into
action.
The
lower
level
is
the
exhibit
hall
level
and
we
have
a
darker
palette
that
emphasizes
the
the
earth
concept.
So
you'll
see
that
in
some
of
these
renderings
the
middle
level
is
the
canopy.
So
we
talked
about
the
horizon.
K
You'll
start
to
see
some
wood
grains
and
some
lighter
materials
and
the
ballroom
level
is
the
sky.
We
introduced
some
back
painted
glass,
it's
a
reflective
material
and
lighting
on
all
of
those
program.
Areas
as
well,
for
example.
This
is
that
interior.
This
is
an
entrance
to
the
exhibit
hall
where
you
can
see
the
black
marble.
K
Sorry,
the
black
granite
format
tile,
that's
in
the
entry
to
the
exhibit
hall,
something
that
we
thought
was
powerful
to
put
something
this
ominous
there,
because,
as
you
walk
through
the
stress
threshold,
imagine
the
exhibit
hall
is
light
and
bright
and
full
of
activity.
So
when
you
start
to
think
about
those
kind
of
experiences
in
the
space,
it
starts
to
become
very
powerful,
along
with
traditional
meeting
rooms
all
over
the
building.
We
have
these
informal
areas.
This
was
something
that
was
not
only
important
to
us,
but
it
was
important
to
my
carrier
and
his
team.
K
How
they're
going
to
sell
the
building
stuff
like
this
is
important
SMG
as
well.
Typically
in
these
buildings,
when
you
see
a
conference,
it
is
littered
with
people
looking
for
places
to
sit
and
eat,
and
mainly
they
sit
on
the
floor
and
the
way
that
most
of
these
buildings
exist
today.
So
we've
provided
ample
opportunity
for
them
to
congregate
outside
of
their
meetings.
All
of
these
areas
have
data
and
power.
K
The
entire
building
is
Wi-Fi
equipped
again
so
providing
the
technology
that
one
would
need
to
have
a
successful
meeting
outside
of
the
meeting
and
to
congregate
and
coordinate
as
they
see
fit.
The
main
atriums
to
circulate
up
the
building.
We've
purposely
left
the
palette
a
little
bit
cleaner
to
allow
for
the
amount
of
natural
light.
That's
going
to
come
into
the
space
when
you're
coming
up
these
escalators
and
elevators
you'll
have
direct
views
out
into
the
park
and
you'll
be
able
to
see
each
level
of
the
facility
allowing
for
easy
wayfinding
within
the
building.
K
This
is
what
we're
calling
the
canopy
level
parts
of
our
meeting
rooms
are
to
the
right.
You
can
start
to
see
some
of
the
wood
grain
that
we
have
to
emphasize
the
entries
to
those
spaces,
the
informal
seating
pods
that
we
have
to
the
left
again
to
re-emphasize
how
those
are
located
throughout
the
facility.
K
The
one
on
the
previous
slide
was
to
the
north
of
our
building.
This
is
the
informal
seating
area
to
the
south
and
as
well,
we've
said
it
from
the
very
beginning
that
the
days
of
meeting
and
meeting
rooms
that
don't
have
access
to
natural
light
and
the
elements
are
slowly
coming
to
an
end,
and
this
will
be
one
of
the
first
actual
convention
centers
in
the
country
to
have
the
amount
of
inventory
of
meeting
rooms
that
have
access
to
natural
light.
K
The
meeting
room
from
the
glass
looking
in
so
in
designing
this
not
only
was
the
ballroom
a
stringent
requirement
on
doing
this,
but
it's
our
goal
to
make
this
the
most
flexible
building
possible.
So
we
introduced
what
we're
calling
the
junior
ballroom.
This
is
approximately
a
12,000
square
foot
space
that
can
work
with
the
ballroom,
but
it
can
also
be
divided
into
three
25,000
2500
square-foot
meeting
rooms
as
well.
So
when
doing
this,
this
is
our
this
is
us
giving
the
sale
team
the
ability
to
never
say
no.
K
Anybody
should
be
able
to
come
into
this
building
and
plan
a
meeting
and
put
an
event
on
because
of
the
amount
of
flexibility
that
we've
built
into
the
facility,
the
ballroom
level,
the
top
of
the
escalators-
and
this
is
that
ballroom
pre
function
with
the
entry
to
the
ballroom
to
the
right.
There's
floor-to-ceiling
glass,
approximately
anywhere
between
25
to
28,
feet
tall.
That
directly
relates
to
the
exterior
balcony
to
the
left.
K
This
glass
is
interesting
because
it's
not
just
a
series
of
doors,
it's
actually
a
series
of
moveable
walls
to
allow
for
the
transition
of
ballroom
pre-function
to
exterior
balconies.
So
essentially,
it
gives
your
ballroom
the
opportunity
to
grow
from
a
30,000
square
foot
space
to
a
45,000
square
foot
space
again
accommodating
events
of
much
larger
scale
than
what
you
would
typically
have
in
a
view
from
inside
the
ballroom
over
the
course
of
design.
K
I
know
that
everyone
here
is
familiar
with
the
connections
to
the
hotel,
a
potential
bridge
to
the
hotel
that
we've
been
coordinating
with
Omni.
It's
not
in
our
project
currently,
but
it
is
an
alternate.
This
is
a
rendering
from
that
bridge
heading
back
to
the
Convention
Center.
You
can
see
the
escalators
and
the
stairs
in
the
distance.
K
This
is
from
the
Convention
Center,
looking
out
to
where
that
bridge
would
connect
again
providing
a
seamless
transition
from
our
facility
to
the
to
the
hotel.
If
this
bridge
would
be
taken
as
an
alternate,
this
area
here
is
not
an
alternate.
This
is
the
pedestrian
bridge
that
will
be
now
be
connecting
to
the
new
parking
garage
at
the
parcel
of
4th
and
Broadway.
This
was
a
recent
development
in
the
design
of
this,
and
it
was
something
that
was
added
into
our
project
over
the
about
maybe
November
of
last
year.
K
So
this
is
not
an
alternate
it's
in
our
base
bin.
It's
approximately
400
foot,
long
passageway.
That
gives
people
from
that
parking
garage
to
the
front
door
of
the
meeting
room
space
in
the
facility,
and
this
is
the
graphic
that's
on
that
wall.
It's
ok,
see
repeated
I,
think
it's
really
cool,
because
the
O
and
the
C
allow
the
pattern
to
repeat
it's
very
subtle,
but
certainly
something
that's
thoughtful.
K
K
On
the
back
end
of
the
building,
we
have
our
main
identity
sign,
as
you
saw
on
that
rendering
there
channel
it
letters
that
say
the
Oklahoma
City
Convention
Center,
providing
a
little
bit
of
interest
on
that
on
that
facade,
along
the
plaza
space
along
Robinson,
we
have
a
series
of
these
exterior
pylons.
These
exterior
pylons
are
serving
mini,
mini
masters,
they're,
not
only
providing
static
wayfinding
to
get
people
in
and
out
and
around
the
building.
K
Inside
the
building,
this
is
a
typical
amenity
sign,
along
with
the
exhibit
hall
identities
when
I
say
typical
amenity.
It's
a
sign
that,
let's
talk
about
everything
from
restrooms
to
restrooms
to
ATMs
any
kind
of
program
space
elevators,
they
will
get
a
sign
that
resembles
this,
and
the
interior
directories
are
combination
of
concrete
wood
and
free
stand
back
pay
glass
corresponding
to
each
respective
level,
similar
to
the
exterior
sign.
They
will
have
digital
LEDs
that
are
customizable
to
the
building
or
the
meeting
that's
happening
in
place.
K
It
was
very
there's
a
high
priority
design
priority
within
our
subcommittee
to
make
sure
that
each
of
these
meeting
rooms
had
the
highest
level
of
technology,
so
each
of
these
meeting
rooms
will
have
its
own
customizable
LED
screen
as
well.
Basically,
all
of
these
signs
will
tie
into
the
building
system
to
allow
for
the
flexibility
that
the
building
inherently
has
built
into
it.
So.
K
Cost
estimate
our
budget
since
we
started
this
project
was
at
194,
zero,
zero,
eight,
eight
hundred
twenty
dollars,
so
194
million.
Our
latest
estimate
in
January
of
this
year
came
in
at
193
million
four
hundred,
seventy
four
thousand
and
eighty
nine
dollars
or
approximately
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
under.
K
We
have
a
list
of
alternates
that
we're,
including
in
the
bid
in
the
bid
documents
that
were
decided
not
only
between
our
design
team
but
with
our
respective
subcommittee
I'll
walk
through
those
alternates
as
well.
Some
of
them
are
internal
to
the
building,
and
some
of
them
are
the
external
forces
that
you've
seen
some
of
these
renderings,
such
as
the
parking
and
the
bridge.
For
example.
K
The
first
alternate
that
we
have
in
the
bid
documents
are
the
operable
walls
and
the
exhibit
hall
the
way
that
the
building
is
designed.
It
should
be
able
to
divide
into
four
equal
halls,
all
of
their
own
access
and
amenities.
So
one
of
the
easiest
alternatives
that
we
came
up
with
was
to
eliminate
two
of
these
walls.
All
of
the
infrastructure
will
still
be
in
place.
It
is
just
future
proofing
the
building
to
allow
these
walls
to
be
added
at
any
date.
This
is
something
that
we
do
in
many
convention
centers.
K
K
The
second
alternate
is
the
surface
lot
to
the
south.
Our
initial
scope
of
work
was
basically
the
northern
curb
of
6th
Street
in
the
southern
curb
of
4th
Street.
Sorry,
the
northern
curb
before
Street.
So
this
alternate
would
be
the
completion
of
the
parking
lot
that
would
be
just
south
of
6th
Street.
This
parking
lot
would
not
only
serve
the
Convention
Center,
but
it
would
serve
all
the
other
amenities
in
the
district,
such
as
the
park
in
the
streetcar
in
the
hotel
in
parking
for
future
arena
events.
K
The
second
alternate
that
relates
directly
to
that
would
be
the
completion
of
6th
Street.
As
I
stated
earlier,
our
scope
ends
at
the
northern
curb.
If
there's
money
left
over
in
the
bid,
it
would
be
logical
the
complete
6th
Street,
along
with
the
parking
garage
associated
with
it,
as
I
stated,
our
scope
does
do
go
to
the
northern
edge
of
4th
Street.
One
of
our
alternates
is
a
reinvigorated
4th
Street,
something
more
than
just
asked
faults
and
curb.
We
would
envision
drivable
pavers
there
with
removable
bollards
on
the
east
and
west
ends.
K
That
would
allow
4th
Street
to
be
blocked
off
for
the
interaction
between
the
Convention
Center
in
the
hotel.
It
sees
special
events
happening
down
there,
I
know
Mike
carrier
and
his
team
having
this
relationship
between
the
two
facilities
is
something
that
would
be
extremely
desirable
in
the
industry.
K
Through
the
course
of
design,
it
came
to
our
attention
that
there
is
potential
to
work
out
a
deal
for
Veolia
energy
to
supply.
The
power
to
this
facility.
I
understand
that
there
is
a
deal
that
is
in
the
works
that
is
not
complete
as
of
today,
but
it's
very
close.
But
with
that
being
said,
we
carried
as
an
alternate
the
ability
to
put
a
central
utility
plant
in
the
building,
so
the
building
is
essentially
designed
to
either
have
our
own
equipment
or
to
accept
Veolia.
F
Right
now
we
are
negotiating
with
Veolia.
Well,
that's
what
the
report
said.
It's
most
cost-effective
way
to
do
so.
We
don't
expect
that
there
will
be
any
holdups.
This
is
the
largest
alternate.
We
do
not
anticipate
awarding
it,
but
if
something
were
to
fall
through
with
the
Veolia
contract,
we
didn't
want
to
be
unprepared
and
by
the
way
it
if
we
do
have
to
put
the
equipment
in
it
affects
the
it's
a
little
bit
cheaper
on
utility
rates
on
down
the
line.
So
there's
a
trade-off.
F
F
K
Yeah
this
has
been
this
has
been
studied
quite
frequently
over
the
duration
of
the
design
to
better
quality
options
yeah
in
the
last,
not
the
last
Alston,
but
when
the
alternates
is
the
vertical
shading
fins
architectural
II,
we
think
they're
desirable
because
they
do
add
a
level
of
sophistication
and
intricacy
to
the
building.
They
will
help
cut
down
on
glare
and
the
overall
appearance
at
the
facility.
K
However,
in
our
energy
modelling
studies,
the
actual
amount
of
people
in
these
buildings
is
enough
to
bring
the
heat
in
the
building
enough
more
than
the
solar
gain
from
the
exterior.
So
regardless,
if
they're
on
there
or
not,
the
mechanical
systems
will
still
be
compensating
for
the
amount
of
people
in
the
building.
However,
they're
an
alternate
because
they're
not
100%
needed,
but
as
an
architecture
team
and
as
a
subcommittee,
we
do
believe
that
they
do
add
a
level
of
sophistication
and
architectural
design
to
the
facility
in
the
bridge
to
the
hotel.
K
I
know
that
this
has
been
talked
about
frequently
we've
designed
it.
Our
building
has
always
been
designed
to
accept
this
bridge.
Of
course,
that's
been
designed
with
all
of
the
fire
regulations
in
mind
for
fire
trucks
and
how
they
access
around
the
building
and,
as
I
said
earlier,
the
Omni
team
and
their
architecture
team
has
been
willing
to
coordinate
with
us,
and
so
I
know
that
they're
they're
designing
now
to
accept
the
other
end
of
this
bridge
as
well.
If
this
alternate
would
be
taken.
K
When
we
say
smart
bars
in
the
ballroom
ceiling,
this
is
just
another
level
of
technology
that
we've
implemented
in
the
building
to
make
this
a
class
one
facility.
Typically,
when
meeting
planners
come
in,
they
bring
in
all
of
their
own
lighting,
trusses
stage
design,
and
it
requires
a
redundant
system
in
the
facility
by
doing
the
smart
bar
system.
Essentially,
it
would
eliminate
meeting
planners
bringing
in
their
own
stuff.
They
could
come
in
and
plug
directly
into
the
ceiling
and
interact
with
the
existing
system.
That's
in
place
again.
This
is
not
something
that
is
100%
needed.
K
K
So
what
this
is
is
essentially
a
network
of
copper
wires
that
are
installed
above
the
slab
below
the
floor
that
transmit
a
frequency
to
a
audio-visual
unit
in
the
room
that
then
rebroadcast
that
frequency
to
individuals
with
the
assisted
hearing
devices,
we
was
brought
to
our
attention
that
this
was
installed
in
a
maps
project
recently
to
much
success.
It
was
just
too
late
to
get
it
into
our
final
drawings,
so
we've
drawn
it
as
an
alternate
to
include
it
in
the
drawing
set.
K
So
that's
why
we
have
it
as
an
ultimate
in
this
package,
so
we'll
talk
scheduled
quickly
tomorrow,
so
be
wary
twenty-eighth,
pending
approval.
Today
we
will
advertise
for
bids
bids
will
be
due
on
April
25th.
There
will
be
special
subcommittee
meetings
to
review
the
bids
and
to
go
over
the
alternates
in
early
May,
May
22nd.
K
We
would
present
the
construction
contract
to
the
subcommittee,
which
would
then
Q
Citizens
Advisory
Board,
that
following
Thursday,
and
we
would
be
back
in
front
of
you,
with
a
contractor
on
June
5th,
a
notice
to
proceed
for
the
contractor
on
June
6.
If
everything
goes
according
ly,
with
a
24
month,
construction
duration
is
what
we're
planning
we've
in
the
contract,
written
an
early
substantial
completion
incentive
of
$5,000
a
day
up
to
30
days
maximum
for
the
contractor.
That
is
also
reciprocal.
K
That's
my
last
slide
before
I
open
up
the
questions.
I
just
want
to
say
that
populous
on
behalf
of
populous
and
our
design
team,
you
know
we
do
these
projects
all
over
the
world,
and
we've
been
here
for
over
two
years
now,
some
of
us
even
longer-
and
it's
been
a
wonderful
experience,
the
relationships
that
we've
built
with
our
subcommittee,
I'm
citizens
advisory
board
and
with
you
all
and
our
local
partners.
It's
just
been
an
excellent.
If
every
project
could
go
like
this
it
would.
L
K
So
you
know
we
initially
met
with
Omni
about
a
year
or
so
ago,
and
they
were
first
selected
and
it
was
before
they
had
an
architect
on
board,
so
they
were
very
familiar
with
our
design
and
they
knew
that
they're
gonna
have
to
hire
an
architect
that
could
work
well
with
us
and
coordinate
along
the
way.
So
they
brought
their
architect
on
board,
maybe
six
months
ago
or
so
so,
we've
met
with
them
in
person
a
few
times.
K
We've
coordinated
them
on,
go
to
meetings
and
phone
calls
basically
took
our
drawings
and
married
them
up
with
their
drawings
and
really
talked
about
what
this
relationship
could
be.
Recently
I've
been
in
contacts
with
their
lead
designer
because,
as
they're
designing
the
interiors
of
the
building,
they
want
their
interiors
to
not
be
exactly
like
ours,
but
they
want
them
to
interact
well
with
each
other.
So
we've
been
exchanging
design
conversation
on
how
the
two
facilities
can,
you
know,
basically
be
viewed
as
a
contiguous
facility
with
a
little
bit
different
identities.
K
M
A
might
just
like
to
say
thank
you
for
this
whole
process
and
when
we
look
back
at
those
design
principles
on
the
first
slide
and,
as
you
said,
realize
how
they've
come
to
fruition,
and
each
one
means
so
much
more
today
than
it
did
when
they
started.
It's
been
a
really
enjoyable
process
to
see
the
thoughtful
attention
to
Oklahoma,
City
and
I
really
do
think
we're
going
to
end
up
with
a
product.
That
is
very,
very
special.
Thank.
K
So
it's
we
base
the
design
off
of
the
system
in
the
the
Civic
Center
and
because
we've
only
because
this
is
a
competitively
bid
project,
we
had
to
specify
a
performance
specification
to
allow
multiple
people
to
bid
on
it,
but
that
system
that
was
installed
there.
It's
what
we
used
as
our
basis
of
design
is.
F
F
N
Thank
You
Marion
Council.
The
item
that
you
have
before
you
this
morning.
Item
Y
is
our
first
item
that
comes
to
us
from
the
citizens
advisory
board
for
the
2017
sales
tax.
It's
you
recall,
with
the
passing
of
the
2017
bond
and
the
2017
sales
tax,
with
the
beginning
of
collections
of
the
sales
tax
on
January
1,
we
did
receive
that
first
check
from
the
tax
commission
in
amount
of
approximately
4.9
million
dollars.
N
So
in
our
commitment
to
the
citizens,
we
are
actually
ready
to
proceed
with
a
number
of
projects,
and
so
what
you
have
before
you
today
is
a
recommendation
from
the
citizens
advisory
board
from
their
January
25th
meeting,
where
they
are
recommending
16
projects
for
your
consideration.
The
list
is
attached
to
the
memo
and
what
you'll
find
is
there
are
two
projects
in
each
hoard.
These
are
two
arterial
street
resurfacing
projects,
and
these
are
actually
locations.
You
might
already
be
familiar.
N
The
list
that
the
board
had
looked
at
was
one
that
was,
but
before
you
as
a
part
of
the
2017
bond
program.
These
are
the
top
two
candidate
projects
that
were
selected
for
the
bond
that
are
now
being
recommended
to
you
by
the
sales
tax
committee
for
immediate
implementation.
So,
as
we
look
at
how
best
to
address
the
street
needs
as
we
look
to
address
the
top
citizen
priority
of
improving
roads,
these
are
those
worst
roads
in
each
Ward.
For
a
total
of
eighteen
point:
nine
million
dollars
for
your
approval.
N
I
would
say
in
the
next
two
meetings.
They
would
be
looking
at
that
next
list
of
projects
that
might
not
only
just
include
street
projects
but
also
Street
scapes
are
soon
to
come.
I'm
as
soon
as
you're
able
to
receive
some
recommendations
from
staff
on
bike,
walk,
OKC
you'll
see
additional
recommendations
on
trails,
sidewalks
and
bike
lanes,
but
this
spring
we
have
a
number
of
additional
projects,
not
just
these
16
coming
to
you
so
that
we
can
expedite
the
expenditure
of
the
sales
taxes
as
the
receipt.
N
It'll
take
three
sales
tax
collections
to
actually
fund
these
projects,
and
so
we
have
a
couple
of
months
to
get
that
next
series
of
projects
through
the
advisory
board
and
bring
those
to
the
council
and
not
have
any
delay
in
the
delivery
of
better
street
saver
city.
So
with
that
I
can
answer
any
questions
you
might
have
about
these
projects
or
anything
that
maybe
the
board
has
done
today.
Yeah.
L
N
F
N
Have
a
workshop
also,
but
they
do
meet
here.
It
is
open
to
the
public.
It
is
also
televised.
The
meetings
are
public
open
meetings,
so
staff
is
available
and
really
we
have
some
very
good
dialogue
at
that.
First,
two
meetings:
the
workshop
and
the
first
official
meeting
that
was
here
so
we'd
invite
those
to
go
to
OKC
gov
or
the
meeting
agendas
and
information
I
mean
if
there's
questions,
there's
also
contact
information
online
as
well.
The.
F
N
So
what
will
simply
happen
is
we
will?
We
will
progress
those
projects
in
the
bond
not
waiting
on
a
bond
sale
this
year
or
next
year,
be
able
to
get
these
out
very
quickly.
The
bond
monies,
then
would
go
into
more
of
the
unlisted
category
to
be
used
on
additional
streets
as
a
part
of
the
bond
project.
N
D
N
F
O
F
F
N
Right
now
it's
just
the
16
that
you
have
before
you
today
right.
We
will
engage
that
dialogue
at
this
next
meeting
and
they
may
choose
to
have
us
revisit
that.
So
the
board
at
this
next
meeting
has
asked
for
the
2017
lists
which
they're
being
provided
but
they're.
Also
looking
at
that
complete
unfunded
list,
those
projects
that
weren't
considered
with
the
bond
as
well,
so
that
they
can
look
at
both
simultaneously.
A
P
P
You
know
this
is
not
Costco.
Aah
is
a
company,
McLaren
plastics
and
it
happens
to
be
in
war
too,
and
I
checked
with
it
was
head
and
he
said,
go
ahead
and
brief
the
Council
on
this.
It's
all
right.
This
is
probably
the
one
of
the
first
gold
bond
projects
in
Ward
2,
it's
in
an
interesting
area.
It's
in
an
area
that
was
one
of
the
manufacturing
focal
points,
and
by
going
years,
between
Tulsa
and
Portland,
and
between
36th
and
39th.
P
In
the
past,
people
have
said
that
the
incentive
programs
on
the
gold
bonds
are
our
corporate
welfare
and
they're
only
available
for
the
make
the
big
companies
bigger
and
they're
rich
richer.
This
goes
against
that,
if
you
will,
this
is
a
project
whereby
they're
planning
to
add
58
jobs
over
the
next
five
years,
with
an
$80,000,
performance-oriented
payment
for
jobs
created
and
the
it's
a
high-skilled
type
of
operation
on
thermoplastics
and
it'll,
be
located
in
that
area
out
on
Northwest
36,
between
Portland
and
and
Tulsa.
Thank
you.
Your
honor
thanks.
J
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
7aj,
one
is
the
sorry
grab
the
wrong
one.

aah
1
is
the
redevelopment
of
1726

42
northeast
23rd
Street.
So
I
just
wanted
to
point
that
out.
This
is
a
northeast
Renaissance,
TIF
project,
February,
the
20th
The,
Daily,
Oklahoman
and
Dilys
story.
News:
okay,
did
a
story
about
lending
in
the
minority
community.
The
title
of
the
article
that
they
posted
for
people
of
color
banks
are
shutting
the
door.
J
There
was
a
story
that
pinpointed
what
was
happening
in
underserved
communities
throughout
the
United
States
and
it
talked
about
how
and
they
pinpointed
out
61.
This
particular
national
study
pointed
out
61
communities
across
the
country
in
northeast
Oklahoma
City
was
pointed
out
as
being
a
Red,
Lion
district
and
so
I
think
with
the
city
support
of
the
redevelopment
of
northeast
Oklahoma
City.
Hopefully,
one
day
that
that
will
change
so
I
did
one
or
two
again
point
that
out
all.
D
Just
have
some
questions
about
the
West
Village
project,
which
is
a
four
million
dollar
TIF
allocation
to
the
Fred
Jones
Avenue
Partners
LLC,
which
I
assume
is
bread,
Hall
whole
capital
that
are
building
345
apartments,
805
parking
spaces,
9,200
square
feet
of
commercial
space,
that's
correct!
Originally,
this
is
a
60s
I,
think
there's
a
33
page
agreement,
but
I
didn't
have
that
in
my
packet,
so
I'm
trying
to
catch
up,
but
the
originally.
It
was
a
66
million
dollar
project,
so
they
secured
66
million
dollars
in
HUD.
D
Q
Right
when
this
originally
was
presented
to
us
back
in
2016,
the
project
was
around
66
million
dollars
and
upon
review
through
their
normal
process,
and
the
recommendation
was
to
provide
them
eight
or
four
million
dollars
over
eight
year
period,
which
is
basically
as
they
pay
their
taxes.
What
we
will
provide
a
portion
of
it
back
to
them
over
time.
Subsequent
to
that
one
of
the
requirements
of
our
contract
is
they
have
to
provide
us
the
latest
sources
and
uses
document
that
provides
where
they're
getting
all
their
financing
and
how
they're
spending
all
their
money.
Q
What
do
we
have
in
this
agreement?
They
have
to
spend
the
project
now.
Is
that
77
million
dollars
and
so
they're
a
loan
that
they
have
now
is
around
eighty
five
percent
of
the
project
cost
and
so
upon
completion
of
this
project
they
have
to
document
certain
things.
One
is
they
have
to
have
40
percent
of
their
facility
occupied
and
we'll
go
through
various
checks,
but
one
of
them,
the
final
one
would
be.
Q
They
will
have
to
document
the
expenditure
of
their
capital
to
us
from
a
third
party,
and
we
will
verify
that
and
that's
what
we
do
in
a
lot
of
our
TIF
projects
and
what
we
do
is
we
try
to
look
for
the
change
in
their
equity
position
on
a
project,
because
the
assistance
is
provided
on
them
based
on
their
returns
on
their
equity.
And
so
we
will
evaluate
that
when
the
project's
complete
so.
Q
Q
I
mean
we
will
evaluate
it
and
then,
as
in
this
case,
will
provide
them
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
a
year.
That's
the
cap
over
an
eight-year
period
if
we
deem
that
that
would
provide
them
and
say
in
appropriate
return
based
on
the
changes
of
the
project.
We
do
have
the
flexibility
within
our
agreement
to
reduce
that
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
down
to
a
more
appropriate
amount
can.
D
You
explain
the
difference
between
this
project
and
say
that
the
Metropolitan
Apartments,
which
to
me
on
paper
looks
very
very
similar
three
hundred
forty
five
apartments
versus
three
hundred
and
thirty.
Eight
hundred
and
five
parking
spaces
versus
about
six
hundred
nine
thousand
square
feet
of
commercial
space
versus
eight
thousand
metropolitan,
just
sold
for
a
record
amount.
Sixty
four
million
dollars,
almost
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
per
unit,
no
TIF.
Q
Financing
I
think
the
difference
in
that
is
on
the
Metropolitan.
There
was
one
parking
garage
and
they
wrapped
their
apartments
around
it,
which
is
the
most
efficient
way
to
do
development.
In
this
case,
there
are
three
smaller
parking
garages.
You've
got
there,
they
are
very
inefficient,
but
when
you're
trying
to
wrap
them
around
the
entire
block,
that
is
what
makes
that
more
inefficient,
because
it
when
you
build
three
apart,
three
garages,
let's
say
250
apiece
those
are
way
more
inefficient
than
a
600
space
parking
garage.
So.
D
It,
it
almost
seems
I
mean
the
metropolitan,
more
aesthetically
and
planning
wise.
It
seems
better
to
wrap
it
around.
Here
we
I
mean
they're,
not
particularly
aesthetically,
pleasing
the
standalone
parking
garages
or
we're
incentivizing
stand
we're
helping
and
incentivize
standalone
parking
garages
as
opposed
to
wraparound
design.
You.
Q
D
F
It's
a
total
project
that
comes
in
and
by
the
way
metropolitan
did
come
in
and
and
and
looked
at,
the
funk
we
were
not
able
to
determine.
There
was
a
need
based
upon
the
conditions
that
were
out
there,
so
we
weren't
able
to
come
to
up
with
a
deal
on
the
ball
to
do
that
and
they
went
on
with
with
the
project,
because
it's
just
it's
different
market
conditions
at
different
land
costs.
It's
different
layout.
That's
in
the
area.
It's
hard,
you!
D
D
It
looks
it
looks
similar
and
and
I'm,
not
understanding
the
four
million
discrepancy-
and
this
is
a
time
by
the
way
where
storm
clouds
are
gathering
at
the
legislature.
There's
a
bill
in
front
of
the
legislature
that
would
mandate,
counties
and
school
board's
sign
off
on
any
new
tips.
I
think
there's
a
initiative
petition,
that's
either
circulating
or
about
to
circulate
a
Norman
that
would
mandate
any
new
TIF
district
go
to
a
vote
of
the
people
that
I
don't
it's
very
complicated.
D
Do
do
any
of
us
understand
as
we
as
we
sit
here
today
and
I've
asked
this
for
years.
I
think
I
even
came
to
the
economic
development
trust
more
than
a
year
ago
announced
any
of
us
understand
what
impact
there
is
of
what
we're
doing
here
today
on
not
Oklahoma
City,
School,
District's,
I,
89,
I.
Think
I'm
starting
to
understand
that
when
we
get
them
to
the
table,
that
we
can
protect
them
or
they
can
maybe
even
maybe
do
better
than
they
you
and
they
would
otherwise.
D
D
And
so
I,
so
I
guess
we'll
I
guess
we'll
just
keep
going
like
this
without
understanding
exactly
what
impact
there
is
it's
a
level
I'm
just
what
do?
What
I'm
trying
to
warn
I
guess
is
that
I
think
people
at
the
state
legislature
are
starting
to
figure
this
out
and
they
are
going
to
write.
There
is
going
to
be
an
impact,
and
so
we
want
to
make
every
one
count
and
this
one
just
to
me
it
doesn't
pass
the
but-for
test
thanks.
D
F
M
D
A
All
right
continuing
with
comments,
yeah
Larry,
honest.
P
P
And
the
and
the
Economic
Development
Trust
for
those
of
their
interest
said,
is
an
open
meeting,
so
citizens
can
come
and
ask
questions
during
that
time
before
the
project
gets
to
the
Economic
Development
Trust.
It
goes
through
a
TIF
review
committee.
Does
it
not?
He
does?
Is
that
also
a
public
meeting?
It
is
where
there's
plenty
of
opportunity
for
people
who
want
to
get
down
to
the
nuts
and
bolts
to
do
that
research
before
it
gets
up
to
us.
Yes,
sir.
Thank
you
all.
M
Did
just
want
to
really
thank
the
city
manager's
office
in
assistant
city
manager,
Barry
for
extending
the
contract
with
the
Center
for
employment
opportunities
through
the
end
of
the
fiscal
year.
We
worked
at
a
small
contract
with
this
group
that
provides
date,
employment
for
folks
with
criminal
backgrounds,
and
it's
been
very
successful
for
us
and
our
public
works
department,
utilities
and
some
others.
H
You
mayor,
both
these
items
are
in
regards
to
the
Lake
Draper
trail.
One
is
a
a
release
of
a
bid,
and
the
other
one
is
the
awarding
of
a
bid.
So
I
really
just
wanted
to
dimension
those
that
people
know
that
those
trails
are
are
going
to
be
happening
sooner
rather
than
later,
and
I
for
one
are
very
excited
about
them.
Thank.
A
A
S
Good
morning
again,
my
name
is
Mike
Stratus
2311,
West,
22nd,
Street,
Oak,
Brook,
Illinois,
I'm,
Costco's
site
selector
for
Oklahoma
and
other
Midwestern
states.
We're
pleased
to
be
here
today
to
talk
about
our
project.
Now
we're
undertaking
on
the
north
side
of
your
town.
So
for
those
of
you
who
don't
know
about
Costco
Costco
is
actually
the
second
largest
retailer
in
the
world.
Behind
Walmart
were
the
16th
largest
company
in
the
fortune
500
and
up
until
recently
we're
the
largest
publicly
traded
company
in
the
state
of
Washington.
S
Last
year
we
had
about
126
billion
in
sales,
which
comprises
about
2.3
million
transactions
a
day
we
have
225
thousand
employees
worldwide,
the
concept
it's
membership-based
merchandising,
with
90
million
card
holders
and
a
90
percent
renewal
rate.
Their
renewal
rate
we
think,
is
the
highest
in
the
world
as
far
as
membership
retail
is
based.
Our
products
are
for
businesses
and
individuals,
and
we
also
the
basic
model,
is
that
we
have
a
lot
of
product
categories,
but
we
have
limited
choices.
S
So
if
you
want
mustard,
for
instance,
you
have
a
choice,
gallon
or
French's,
or
a
2-pack
of
Grey
Poupon.
If
you
want
30,
flavors
and
20
sizes,
you'll
go
to
your
grocery
store
average
product
count
is
only
three
to
four
thousand
items
and
to
give
you
some
context,
you
know
an
average
supermarket
has
about
60,000
items
and
a
super
Walmart
or
super
target
has
closer
to
200,000.
So
we
don't
really
cannibalize
any
other
retailers
any
significant
degree,
so
relative
to
warehouses,
we
have
746
worldwide.
S
We
operate
in
11
countries,
most
recently
last
July
we
opened
in
Reykjavik
Iceland
of
all
places.
We
have
current
plans
to
go
into
China
and
expand
more
broadly
and
Asia
and
Europe.
This
is
our
site
plan.
Again
it's
on
the
north
side.
It's
up
on
Western
and
Kilpatrick
Turnpike.
We
are
under
contract,
currently
completing
our
due
diligence,
studies
and
kind
of
a
typical
Costco
prototype.
S
S
Systems
can
best
accommodate
our
needs.
The
fuel
facility
opens
at
6:00
a.m.
and
7:00
a.m.
on
the
weekends
it
closes
about
an
hour
after
the
building
the
whole
week
nationally.
I
think
the
number
one
thing
Costco
is
known
for
one
of
the
number
one
things
other
than
our
value
proposition
is
our
employment.
S
We
are
probably
the
highest
retail
wage
payer
in
the
nation,
generally
speaking
about
150
to
200
employees,
starting
wage
company-wide,
worldwide,
1350
and
our
cashiers
after
five
years
make
about
54,000.
These
are
all
self-explanatory.
Average
wage
23
dollars
an
hour
and
the
turnover
after
a
year
is
only
5%,
which
is
we
also
oversee.
All
of
these.
We
think
our
residential
setting
in
the
retail
universe,
all
of
our
full-time
and
part-time
employees,
are
eligible
for
benefits
and
98
percent
of
them
are
enrolled.
It's
important
to
point
out
that
you
know
probably
50
percent.
S
R
So,
just
to
kind
of
go
over
why
this
project
qualifies
under
the
retail
incentive
policy
that
the
City
Council
adopted
several
years
ago.
Your
policy
provides
that
we
can
provide
retail
incentives
to
projects
that
are
new
to
Oklahoma
City
and
that
are
a
destination
retailer
and
Costco
meets
both
of
those
requirements.
R
Costco
has
a
very
large
trade
area
there.
Their
total
trade
area
is
about
an
hour's
drive,
so
you
know
that
helps
to
meet
that
that
one-hour
drive
time
meets
the
destination
retailer
or
a
regional
retail
or
even
which
is
also
part
of
our
policy.
You
know,
as
we
all
know,
the
city
is
heavily
reliant
on
sales
tax
revenues
to
support
its
operating
budget.
R
This
project
of
these
kinds
of
projects,
any
kind
of
retail
project,
helps
us
to
grow
our
sales
tax
base
and
to
protect
our
sales
tax
base
in
the
future.
Now
research
shows
that
about
41
percent
of
the
sales
associated
with
Costco
will
be
new
to
Oklahoma
City.
There
are
already
approximately
27
2,800
Costco
members
already
in
Oklahoma
City,
who
are
buying
online
or
going
to
Dallas
or
Tulsa
again.
The
trade
area
that
I
mentioned
already,
and
they
typically
entails
and
annual
visitors
and
the
store
economic
impact.
R
The
sales
are
estimated
to
be
between
80
million
dollars
in
year,
one
and
140
million
dollars
in
year
six.
They
they
are
a
part
of
the
general
merchandise
category.
When
we
look
at
categories
of
sales
tax
revenues,
our
tax
base
in
Oklahoma
City
for
the
general
merchandise
category
is
about
1.4
billion
dollar,
and
by
year
six
Costco
will
be
somewhere
between
seven
and
ten
percent.
Of
that
category.
R
The
net
new
revenues
to
Oklahoma
City,
the
general
fund-
it's
estimated-
will
be
between
six
hundred
thousand
and
1.1
million.
It
will
also
benefit
all
of
the
dedicated
tax
sources
that
the
city
has
the
better
streets,
safer
city,
tax,
the
police
and
fire
sales
tax
and
the
zoo
sales
tax,
and
just
as
a
reminder,
when
we
structure
our
incentive
deals,
we
only
look
at
the
general
fund
portion
of
the
sales
tax.
We
never
include
those
other
dedicated
taxes,
as
a
part
of
that.
R
R
D
D
If
you
look
at
their
revenue,
say
2014,
it
was
2.4
billion,
their
operating
profit
is
3.2
billion;
in
other
words,
75
percent
of
their
earnings
is
coming
from
their
membership
fees.
In
2015,
the
Oklahoma
Tax
Commission
ruled
that
you
cannot
charge
sales
tax
on
these
membership
fees
for
these
discount
buying
clubs.
So
basically,
what
what
I
see
is
that
they
they
come
in,
they
they
heavily
discount.
D
They
sell
at
a
price
that
our
small
retailers
are
mom
and
top
stores,
and
even
some
of
our
bigger
retailers
can't
compete
against
because
they're
selling
at
a
loss
and
then
they're
selling
memberships,
which
we
don't
get
the
sales
tax
on
Oklahoma
Tax
Commission,
who
said
we
don't
get
the
sales
tax
on
the
part
of
the
business,
that's
profitable.
For
them,
the
biggest
driver
of
membership
growth
is,
is
new
warehouses.
D
So,
if
you're
looking
at
at
this
company,
which
has
a
market
cap
of
83
billion
dollars
right
and
is
73%
owned
by
Wall
Street
institutions,
it's
the
Wall
Street
institutions
that
are
pulling
the
strings
here.
They
tell
they
are
going
to
reward
or
punish
Costco's
share
price
based
on
growth.
So
yesterday
they
increased
by
one
and
a
half
percent.
That's
like
one
point
four
billion
dollars
yesterday
they
are
that's.
D
An
Oklahoma
City
is
the
very
same
argument
that
you
would
use
against
providing
an
incentive
when
they
expect
nine
hundred
thousand
annual
visitors
when
they
expect
that
two
thousand
seven
hundred
and
seventy-seventh
Oklahoma
City
that
people
in
Oklahoma
City
that
already
have
memberships
that
they
have
to
get
to
renew
when
they
expect
a
hundred
and
forty
million
dollars
in
sales
by
year.
Six.
This
is
going
to
happen
anyway.
Oklahoma
City
is
the
38th
largest
market,
a
million
people
in
the
greater
Oklahoma
City
metro
area.
D
There's
no
way
the
the
Wall
Street
institutions
would
say:
don't
go
to
Oklahoma
City
right.
They
have
for
their
growth
model
for
their
membership
model
to
grow.
It
is
it's
insane
to
just
see
this
territory
to
target
Sam's
Club
not
go
to
the
thirty
eighth
largest
market,
so
they
are
coming
to
Oklahoma
City.
The
question
is
once
they
come
to
Oklahoma
City:
do
they
come
to
this
location
on
on
Western,
which
is
curious
because
it
has
a
creek
going
through
it?
D
It's
really
difficult
to
develop,
there's
lots
and
lots
of
land
in
Oklahoma,
City
or
Edmond
or
other
places.
It
would
be
much
much
easier
than
this
location
on
Kilpatrick
Turnpike.
That
has
a
creek
going
through
it.
The
argument
is
well
if
we
don't
give
them
the
three
million,
then
they'll
just
go
to
Edmond
or
they'll
go
somewhere
else.
My
experience
with
the
thirty
to
forty
percent
that
Roy
Williams
was
talking
about
people
coming
from
the
rural
community,
because
a
lot
of
people
come
to
Oklahoma
City,
a
lot
of
medical.
D
You
know
everybody
in
the
state
is
coming
to
the
VA
hospital.
Everybody
from
the
state
is
coming
to
Integris,
Hospital
and
mercy
they
like
to
come
on
the
highway
and
then
continue
on
the
highway.
They
don't
like
to
go
through
the
streets
of
Edmond.
That's
my
anecdotal
experience.
Over
twenty
years
of
talking
to
people
come
to
Oklahoma
City.
They
don't
like
to
get
off
the
highway.
That
I
think
Costco
knows
that
I
think
that's
why
they've
picked
this
location
on
Western,
despite
it
being
a
difficult,
they
want
to
be
on
the
Kilpatrick
Turnpike.
D
D
A
A
A
P
A
R
A
Might
want
to
stay
quiet.
We
have
a
motion
in
a
second
to
approve
it.
Is
that
what
you
want?
Okay,
all
right
cast
your
votes.
It
passes
unanimously
you're
good
I've.
Seen
that
turn
on
people
before
item
9a
3
is
a
zoning
case
in
Ward
6.
It's
an
ABC
issue,
a
1
2
0,
1,
West,
Reno,
Avenue
and
the
applicant
is
here
Meg.
That's.
M
T
T
We're
a
Canada
based
company
and
up
there
were
well
it's
bad
axe,
throwing
we
we
do
like
special
events
like
team-building
activities,
birthday
parties,
bachelor
parties,
bachelorette
parties,
anything
like
that
kind
of
like
like
table
golf
kind
of
stuff
like
that
up
in
Canada,
they
approved,
like
BYOB,
like
people
get
to
bring
their
own
alcohol
to
the
thing
down.
Here,
it's
a
little
different.
We
have
a
little
bit
more
rules
and
stuff,
so
we're
looking
to
also
build
like
sell
some
craft
breweries
around
the
area.
T
M
T
I
guess
rubbed
together,
I
mean
there's
going
to
be
a
time
where
you
know
you
stop
letting
people
throw
axes
when
they
start
becoming
quite
intoxicated
or
intoxicated
at
all,
but
I
mean
it
would
be
together.
They're
not
gonna,
be
throwing
axes
with
a
beer
in
their
hand
or
alcohol
in
their
hand
at
all,
but
yeah
they
would
be
together
is.
T
Yes,
so
as
coaches,
that's,
what
I
am
is
I'm
a
coach,
so
I
come
through
I
go
through
the
waiver
with
customers
when
they
come
in
I
will
then
show
them.
You
know
some
safety
things
that
we
go
through
and
you
know
kind
of
go
over,
say:
hey
you,
don't
throw
axes
at
each
other
and
you
know
show
them
the
proper
way
to
pull
it
out
of
the
wood
once
it
hits
the
target
that
kind
of
stuff.
T
And
then
we
go
over
kind
of
all
the
rules
and
then
I
teach
them
how
to
throw
an
axe,
and
we
do
have
a
coach
on
each
lane
supervising
the
activity
and
they
said
that
we
would
have
a
bartender
also
on
this
on
the
clock
at
the
same
time.
So
it
wouldn't
be
the
coach
to
be
serving
the
alcohol
I'd
be
two
different
people
at
the
time
and.
T
M
A
Me
hear
a
little
more
about
the
axe,
throwing
yes,
okay,
so
you're
throwing
the
axes
at
a
target
but
target.
So
it's
like
a
round
target
like
you
might
throw
darts
or
something
like
that.
Exactly.
A
T
T
A
The
issue
really
before
us
today
is
whether
or
not
we
want
to
grant
alcohol
sales
I
guess
apparently,
axe-throwing
is
fine,
but
the
issue
we're
not
here
to
determine
where
they're
not
acting
is
an
appropriate
activity.
We're
determined
whether
or
not
this
location
is
suitable
for
alcohol.
Is
that
right
that.
M
A
Okay,
so,
and
once
we
put
the
zoning
in
place,
it's
probably
going
to
be
hard
to
extract,
but
I
assume.
If
the
axe-throwing
aspect
of
this
endeavor,
you
know
got
out
of
hand,
we
would
have
opportunities
from
a
public
safety
aspect
to
come
back
later
and
and
deal
with
it.
So
it's
easy
to
concentrate
on
the
axe
throwing,
but
what
we're
really
talking
about
is
alcohol
sales,
okay,.
M
M
M
O
A
T
Definitely
not
no,
it's
you
know
we.
We
have
like
a
zero
tolerance
policy
on
my
horseplay
all
together.
So
when
people
start
goofing
off,
you
tell
them
like
hey,
chill,
calm
down
and
especially
if
they
do
start
getting,
you
know,
intoxicated
you
can,
you
know,
have
them
stop
drinking?
Have
them
sit
down?
Have
them
sit
out
what.
A
A
D
M
Think
I'd
like
to
ask
that
we
maybe
defer
this
for
two
weeks,
I'd
like
to
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
how
we
might
manage
us
a
little
bit
better
I.
Think
the
analogy
of
the
Wilson
Gun
Club
is
one
that's
been
in
my
mind.
I
know,
people
had
issues
with
it,
but
we
were
able
to
resolve
it
and
we
haven't
had
a
chance
to
talk
about
this.
I
did
ask
Josh
to
call
me
yesterday
and
I
haven't
heard
from
him.
So
if
you
don't
mind,
I'd
like
to
defer
this
for
two
weeks,
okay,.
A
T
A
A
J
Right
Thank
You.
Mr.
mayor,
madam
clerk,
I

the
purpose
to
allow
feature
development
with
the
Herron

property
to
the
west
and
the
south
of
this

I
move
for

It's
currently

All.
J
Right
Thank
You
mr.
Moran
Clerk
anyone
signed
up
to
sweeten
I
wanted
to
signed
up
this

This
is
to
establish
complainant
of
the
zoning
for
the
program
services
of
our
Oklahoma
City
Animal,
Welfare
Division,
the
Planning
Commission
did
approve
this
and
I
recommend
it
for

and
I
move
for
approval.
A
D
A
A
J
U
David
box
5
to
call
court
drive
here
on
behalf
of
the
applicant.
This
is
a
spud
that
would
take
the
current
Ronald
McDonald
House
and
convert
it
to
a
VA
facility.
That'll
offer
a
host
of
services,
whether
it
be
some
slight
medical,
some
employment,
related
services,
some
counseling
related
services,
it's
a
much
needed
project,
and
it's
one
that
the
spud
will
allow
to
move
forward.
The
Ronald
McDonald
House
is
going
to
move
to
a
different
facility.
J
A
L
A
V
A
O
A
D
A
H
W
Okay,
mr.
mayor
members
of
council,
my
name
is
William
F
Collins,
the
third
I'm,
an
attorney
in
Oklahoma
City,
been
here
for
a
long
time.
It's
good
to
be
back
here
before
you
again,
I'm
representing
the
Reeves
family
and
several
other
people
who
are
protesting.
This
rezoning
application.
Now
the
Reeves
family
has
been
part
of
this
part
of
Oklahoma
City
for
a
long
time
as
a
matter
of
fact,
kay,
Reeves
father
on
the
end
back
there
red
hair,
he
developed
this
property
in
five
acre
tracts.
W
The
reasons
5
acre
tracts
is
because
this
is
extremely
rural,
Oklahoma
City.
Now
the
people
who
live
there
like
their
lifestyles
they
like
living
in
rural
areas,
everybody
there
if
they
so
choose,
has
an
opportunity
to
move
into
town
on
smaller
tracks,
but
they
like
that
lifestyle
and
they
want
to
be
able
to
maintain
it.
Now
this
developers
he
just
bought
the
property
a
couple
of
years
ago
and
he's
trying
to
split
up
a
15
acre
tract
into
8
Lots.
W
Now
that
might
not
sound
like
much,
but
to
them
it's
a
death
dale
to
my
clients.
The
reason
for
this
is
it's
rural
area.
There's
no
city
water,
no
sewer,
no
gas,
no
cable,
the
only
dependable
city
service
or
any
kind
of
service.
Excuse
me:
that's
not
correct,
because
there
is
electric
out
there,
but
the
only
dependable
city
service,
his
trash
pickup,
one
of
my
clients,
Arthur
Reeves,
the
large
man.
Next
to
the
redheaded
lady,
he
had
to
break
into
his
house
and
he
caught
the
robber.
W
He
called
the
cops
well
twenty
to
thirty
minutes
later
somebody
showed
up
so
dependable
police
service
is
not
there.
This
is
a
long
ways
out
from
my
house
in
real
North,
Oklahoma
City.
It
took
me
35
minutes
to
get
there
it's
well
over
thirty
five
miles
from
where
I
live,
but
this
is
rural,
Oklahoma
City.
W
The
nearest
fire
station
is
about
four
and
a
half
miles
away
away
and
if
there
were
a
fire,
there's
no
way
a
fire
truck,
get
there
within
the
response
time
of
five
minutes,
so
anything
that
would
catch
fire
would
be
burned
to
the
ground
by
the
time
fire
department
came
there.
Let's
talk
about
this,
this
location,
eight
Lots
on
15
acres.
W
Normally,
you
see
such
types
of
development
and
zoning,
not
in
the
middle
of
double
a
but
on
the
fringes
of
double-a
next
to
more
intense
development
as
call
transition.
So
you
go
from
a
regular
subdivision
to
larger
lot
sizes
such
as
that
development.
That's
due
south
of
the
sports
elementary
there's,
a
development,
those
appear
to
be
on
one
acre
tracks.
If
it
would
be
that's
the
type
of
location
where
one
would
expect
to
find
this
type
of
development,
it's
much
more
intense
than
what's
there
all
around
it.
W
W
Now
you
put
this
in
the
middle
of
double-a,
then
what's
to
stop
the
property's
next
door
to
that
from
becoming
more
intense
and,
like
I
told
you,
this
is
a
very
rural
area
of
Oklahoma
City.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
if
you
read
their
staff
report,
the
aquifer
is
vulnerable,
which
means
there's
enough
water.
There.
Now
for
the
current
rate
of
usage
on
five
acre
tracts,
you
increase
the
the
density
of
housing.
W
Nothing
so
what's
there
now
is:
what's
always
going
to
be
there,
the
roads
are
insufficient
to
handle
more
traffic,
Anderson
Road
and
an
hundred
19th
Street
they're
passable,
but
for
the
limited
use
that's
there
now
did
crease
the
use
you're
going
to
increase
the
issue
with
roads.
Now,
speaking
of
roads,
the
entryway
into
this
addition
is
right
next
door
to
one
of
my
clients
who
lives
on
the
west
of
it.
W
There's
no
separation
at
all.
From
the
entry
to
my
clients
proper.
Now
the
developer
has
taken
at
a
point
itself
already
to
remove
virtually
all
the
trees
from
the
center
of
the
property
going
north-south.
So
the
trees
have
been
gutted
that
caused
erosion,
which
in
turn
has
caused
sill
tation
on
to
the
people
to
the
west.
W
They've
got
nothing
but
sand
now
on
their
front
yards,
and
if
you
go
the
further
north,
you
go
the
worse.
It
gets
because
the
property
slopes
there
there's
a
huge
slope
from
from
the
east
to
the
west,
like
a
50
foot
grade
differential
in
elevation,
so
everything
flows
to
the
west
and
those
people
who
I
represent
are
now
covered
with
sand.
Coming
off
of
this
property,
there's
no
sill
tation
barriers
then
put
up
at
all.
W
Now
the
Planning
Commission
voted
8
to
1
against
this
against
this
application,
and
it
did
so
for
a
reason,
because
the
Planning
Commission
recognized
what
I'm
telling
you
right
now.
This
is
extremely
rural,
Oklahoma
City
and
it
is
this.
Zoning
is
totally
incompatible
with
the
existing
uses,
and
this
part
of
town
is
not
yet
ready
to
to
support
more
intense
development
than
houses
on
five
acre
tracts.
It's
just
plain
and
simple,
my
folks
don't
want
it
as
a
matter
of
fact,
they're.
W
One
of
my
clients
are
some
of
20
who
don't
want
it
now,
if
you're
looking
to
it
now,
the
staff
has
made
an
error
on
the
calculation
of
the
protest
percentage,
because
the
the
people
to
do
to
the
west
do
west.
This
site
are
all
against:
that's
not
enough
to
throw
it
up
over
the
50
percent.
Unfortunately,
but
still
the
vast
majority
of
the
people
who
live
in
this
area,
don't
want
it
now.
Five
acre
tracts
develop,
do
work.
W
There
are
new
houses
going
up
directly
to
the
west
of
Anderson
road
on
119th
Street
on
five
acre
tracks,
brand
new
houses
I
saw
them
yesterday
that
works.
If
this
kid
developer
wants
to
put
his
houses
on
on
five
acre
tracks
on
this
site.
Great,
my
clients
would
welcome
that
with
open
arms,
but
they
will
not
would
not
welcome
anything
more
intense
than
that,
because
this
area
just
does
not
support
it
and
they
want
to
keep
their
alive
stop.
Thank
you.
U
Good
morning,
David
box,
5t
to
Colcord
drive
here
today
on
behalf
of
the
developer,
Scott
Woodard
who's
here,
Dwight
Butler.
The
civil
engineer
is
here
as
well.
You
might
remember
this
was
on
the
docket
two
weeks
ago.
Councilman
stone
requested
that
we
continue
it
to
go
meet
to
get
together,
see
if
we
couldn't
revise
it
again
to
come
up
with
something.
As
a
reminder,
I
want
to
show
you
this
map.
This
is
a
map.
I
showed
you
last
time
what
this
represents.
The
subject
side
is
right
here.
U
Everything
that
has
color
is
something
that
allows
one
acre,
lots
or
or
less,
and
so
of
the
twenty
sections
that
you
see
on
this
map.
They
think
18
of
the
20
sections.
Some
piece
of
that
section
is
zoned
and/or
developed
for
one
acre
lot
sizes.
The
PUD
that
we
originally
filed
saw
the
development
of
12
Lots
on
these
15
acres.
We
revised
that
down
to
eight
after
we
met
with
councilman
stone
the
last
time
we
have
since
gone
back
and
reworked
the
plan
to
now
only
have
seven
Lots.
U
In
addition,
we
amended
the
PUD
to
require
a
minimum
lot
size
of
two
acres,
so
every
lot
in
here
will
be
the
minimum
of
two
acres.
We
did
hear
more
about
the
the
drainage
problem,
so
what
we've
done
is
we've
taken
some
common
area
at
the
front
of
the
development
and
we've
added
a
detention
pond
that
wasn't
there
in
addition
to
that,
we've
captured
over
ten
acres,
as
that's
outlined
right
here
and
we're
redirecting
the
flow
to
our
pond.
U
We
understand
that
the
neighbors
to
our
west
have
a
potential
problem
and
not
being
able
to
keep
their
pond
full
they're,
going
to
have
the
option
now
with
us,
taking
this
water
to
move
it
to
their
pond
to
keep
that
pond
full.
In
addition,
the
PUD
has
a
40-foot
tree
preservation
area
on
both
the
east
and
the
west
to
provide
a
buffer.
We
do
have
a
sixty
percent
tree
preservation
requirement
within
the
PUD.
We
did
remove
a
lot
of
trees.
There
was
a
lot
of
red
cedars
that
were
out
on
this
property.
U
Those
are
nuisance
trees,
as
this
council
know,
so
we
removed
a
lot
of
those.
We
did
have
to
remove
a
handful
of
other
trees
to
do
some
test
wells
due
to
the
proximity
of
this
site,
to
the
way
this
this
site
produced
at
enormous
level.
So
there
is
no
concern
whatsoever
as
to
the
level
of
water
produced
by
the
test
wells.
So,
all
in
all,
we
believe
with
the
modification
to
two
acre
lots.
It's
consistent
with
the
development
pattern
in
this
area.
U
The
reason
you
don't
see
a
lot
of
development
is
they're,
just
there's
a
lot
of
vacant
land
out
there,
but
what
this
map
tells
us
is
when
developments
have
occurred.
They've
been
at
the
one
acre
or
one
and
a
half
acre.
We've
we've
bumped
our
acreage
up
to
now.
Every
lot
has
to
be
a
minimum
of
two
acres:
that
combined
with
the
tree
preservation
and
the
accounting
for
the
drainage
in
the
runoff.
H
H
H
So
now
we're
talking
about
seven
houses
on
15
acres
or
three
houses
on
15
acres,
and
it
really
seems
like
between
the
seven
and
the
three
there
should
have
been
some
kind
of
middle
ground
there
that
there
was
it
I,
wasn't
able
to
find
any
middle
ground
at
that
time.
It
was
eight
and
three,
and
now
it's
down
to
seven
and
three.
H
You
know
I
believe
in
properties,
owner
rights
and
being
able
to
what
you
want
to
that.
You
can
do
what
you
want
to
do
with
your
property
as
long
as
it
doesn't
infringe
on
the
neighboring
properties
and
when
I
see
these
Lots
at
two
plus
acres,
I,
just
I
don't
see
that
it's
going
to
really
imprint
impact.
The
neighbors
the
tree
buffers
are
in
line
the
front
elevation
on
the
front
of
the
property.
I,
don't
I,
don't
think
you'll
hardly
be
able
to
see
anything
past
that
from
the
street.
A
A
A
A
All
right
item
9c
comes
to
us
from
the
traffic
Commission
it's
about
parking
and
Ward
2.
This
is
on
Northwest
27th,
Street
ad,
you,
okay,
with
this
all
right.
Anyone
here
hoping
to
speak
on
item
9c,
all
right
cast
your
votes.
It
passes
unanimously
item
9
D
would
implement
a
council
approved
funding
plan
will
be
holding
a
public
hearing
today.
This
is
anyone
here,
hoping
to
speak
at
the
public
hearing
on
item
9
D
I
have.
R
Item
before
you
today
is
the
public
hearing
for
various
amendments
to
the
project
plans
for
the
downtown
Maps
economic
development
project
plan.
These
items
are
this.
These
amendments
are
related
to
implementation
of
the
funding
plan
for
the
Convention
Center
Hotel
that
you
approved
in
July
of
2017.
R
First
of
all,
the
the
first
amendment
is
TIF,
which
is
to
increase
the
hotel,
/
commercial
budget
category
by
30
million
dollars.
The
second
event
that
the
second
set
of
amendments
are
related
to
TIF
8.
These
are
to
modify
TIF
a
the
definition
in
the
economic
development
category
to
allow
for
support
of
the
Convention
Center
Hotel.
It
also
amends
the
budget
category.
It
reduces
the
amount
for
economic
development
by
five
million
dollars
and
increases
by
five
million
dollars.
R
The
category
called
redevelopment
framework,
and
that
is
the
public
improvements,
the
budget
for
the
public
improvements
that
we
did
in
downtown
Oklahoma
City,
that
were
a
part
of
project
180
in
the
myriad
Gardens.
This
just
gives
us
some
extra
budget
capacity
if
we
need
it
to
make
additional
improvements
downtown.
These
changes
were
considered
by
the
the
TIF
review
committees
in
December
and
we're
both
recommended
for
approval
to
the
City
Council.
R
This
next
slide
comes
from
the
funding
plan
that
you
approved
in
July,
and
it's
just
designed
to
remind
you
of
the
various
funding
sources
that
will
be
used
to
fund
the
public
participation
for
the
Convention
Center
Hotel
its
eighty
five
point:
four
million
dollars.
It
comes
from
a
variety
of
sources,
most
of
which
are
generated
by
the
hotel
itself.
And
if
you
remember
the
presentation,
we
anticipate
that
some
of
the
some
of
the
funding
sources
we'll
be
performing
it.
We
call
it
a
low
success
rate
and
some
will
be
at
a
higher
success
rate.
R
So
it
just
it'll
be
a
combination
of
levels
of
success
depending
on
the
various
categories
and
how
they
do.
These
changes
are
highlighted
in
blue
for
you,
TIF
8.
We
anticipate
using
nine
point
nine
million
dollars
from
TIF
eight
for
the
hotel
and
twenty-eight
point
eight
million
from
TIF
to
so.
The
next
steps
are
these
amendments
to
the
economic
development
project
plan.
We
will
be
bringing
forward
a
resolution
to
initiate
the
start
of
quarter.
R
Shore
TIF
district,
a
in
July
we
will,
we
will
be
approving
or
bringing
forward
the
approval
of
the
budget
allocations
from
TIF
two
and
eight,
and
then
there
will
be
an
economic
development
agreement
between
the
city,
the
genomic
development,
trust
and
Omni.
That
will
also
be
coming
forward
in
the
future.
As
you
remember,
there's
a
couple
of
other
items
we
are
going.
We
are
planning
to
allocate
the
future
revenues
from
the
Bass
Pro
lease
that
currently
go
to
the
Redevelopment
Authority.
R
Those
will
be
allocated
to
support
the
Convention,
Center
Hotel
and
then
again
the
lease
and
loan
payments
from
the
Skirvin
hotel
will
also
be
allocated
to
support
the
bond
issue
for
the
Convention
Center
Hotel.
Again,
those
are
two
past
projects:
economic,
develop,
a
project
that
we've
done
many
years
ago
now
that
have
proven
to
be
very
successful
and
have
generated
quite
a
bit
of
revenues
from
the
city
that
are
in
addition
to
the
tax
revenues
that
they
generate
so
and
then.
Finally,
there
will
be
an
economic
development
trust
bond
issue
sometime
this
summer.
R
A
Right
item
being
introduced
today,
we
would
be
setting
a
final
hearing
from
May
13
if
March
13th.
If
we
proceed
questions
for
Kathy
all
right,
Kathy
won't
you
have
a
seat
and
then
we'll
open
it
up
for
a
public
hearing.
If
anyone
here
so
to
speak,
is
there
anyone
here,
hoping
to
speak
at
the
public
hearing
today
on
item
91,
all
right?
How
about
a
motion
then
to
introduce
the
item
and
set
a
final
hearing
date
for
March
13th?
Is
there
a
second

your
votes
it

You
know
the
school
district
has
civil
challenges
out
there
and
there's
pockets
of
excellence
and
in
pockets
of
areas
where
they
saw
some
challenges,
but
if
you
think
of
where
they
might
be,
if
they
were
had
that
the
challenges
that
they
have
with
crumbling
buildings,
crumbling
buses,
and
that
would
be
it
would
be
much
worse
off
today.
We.
X
We
have
projects
under
underway.
Right
now
is
cesar
chavez
is,
is
essentially
done.
Fd
moon
is
in
preliminary
plans
starting
final
plans.
We
have
some
work
at
Capitol
Hill
for
the
roadway,
the
circles
Capitol
high
school,
and
then
we
also
have
a
a
traffic
study
for
Capitol
Hill
and
then
there's
going
to
be
about
800,000
dollars
left
over
the
administration
building.
We
did
some
some
early
study
on
the
original
building
on
Klein,
but
it
was
decided
not
to
go
there
and
then
there's
been
various
various
plans
to
to
move
administration.
X
A
All
right
cast
your
votes
on
9h
it
passed
unanimously
and
then
item
9
high
would
terminate
the
Metropolitan
Area
Public
Schools
trust
cast
your
votes.
It
passed
unanimously,
probably
shouldn't
mention
former
mayor
Humphreys
and
cliff
for
all
that
of
all
the
work
they
did
and
the
business
leaders
that
put
the
maps
for
trust,
Matt
Matt
for
kids
trust
in
place.
So
many
years
ago,
I've
often
said
if
there
is
ever
a
Hall
of
Fame
for
consensus
building.
A
Those
involved
with
that
Maps
for
kids,
designed
to
deserve
some
special
accolades
to
get
24
school
districts
to
commit
to
one
funding
model
was
an
amazing
accomplishment
in
the
late
1990s
it,
and
we
stand
today
with
much
better
capital
projects
in
our
schools
as
a
result.
So
let's
thank
cliff
Hudson
and
incur
as
we
as
we
say,
goodbye
to
maps
for
kids
all
right
item.
9J
is
a
resolution.
This
would
modernize
our
regulations
and
the
Riverfront
Redevelopment
Authority
affects
Ward's
three
six
and
seven.
So
a
motion
from
one
of
those
would
be
appropriate.
Y
Good
morning,
Doug,
copper,
director
of
Parks
and
Recreation
the.
As
you
all
know,
the
the
river
is
seven
miles
long
previously
it
was
broken
up
into
16,
separate
areas
that
could
be
used
for
four
events:
our
documents
for
how
we
created
rules
and
regulations
before
this
revision
was
59
pages
long.
It's
now
down
to
14
pages.
We
took
out
all
of
the
duplications
and
triplication
of
languages
in
our
rules
that
were
already
identified
in
the
city,
ordinances
and
or
elsewhere
in
city
documents.
So
we've
we've
reduced
that.
So
it's
easier
to
read
easier
to
understand.
Y
Obviously,
when
we
started
down
this
path,
we
didn't
know
how
well
it
would
be
used
and
what
kind
of
activities
people
would
want
to
use
our
River
Trails
or
our
river
banks
for
so
we're
trying
to
modernize
how
we
receive
the
uses
of
the
River
Trail
as
it
has
evolved
as
everything
that
we
do
city
government
wise.
So
we
think
that
we'll
have
a
better
product.
Y
So
the
general
public
will
still
be
able
to
to
either
bicycle
or
run
somewhere
on
the
trail
systems
along
the
riverbank
so
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions,
but
this
modernizes
that
it
makes
it
easier
for
our
public
to
understand
how
they
can
use
the
river
be
happy
to
answer
new
questions.
Alright,.
A
Z
Good
morning,
this
item
relates
to
the
commercial
district
revolving
loan
fund
that
was
established
by
Council
about
three
years
ago
and
is
initially
funded
with
Community
Development
Block
Grant
funds
in
the
amount
of
seven
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars.
At
the
time
we
council
passed
some
accompanying
policies
that
govern
how
those
loans
would
be
implemented
and
that
existing
policy
today
requires
that
the
maximum
loan
amount
be
one
third
of
the
amount
that's
available
in
the
loan
account
in
January.
Z
The
council
approved
a
reallocation
because
the
loan
fund
was
not
performing
well
we're
not
getting
a
lot
of
activity
and
there's
concern
about
timeliness
of
expending
the
Block
Grant
funds
council,
reallocated
$450,000
from
that
fund
to
other
block
grant
activities.
So
at
this
point
we
have
265
thousand
dollars
left
in
this
loan
account
and
we
do
are
speaking
with
some
candidates
that
may
have
viable
projects,
and
we
find
that
the
one-third
cap
at
this
point
is
limiting
and
would
not
provide
the
amount
of
lending
dollars
that
they
need.
A
F
The
next
one
this
is
non
representative
employee,
so
these
are
folks
that
are
generally
the
same
classifications
asked
me,
but
their
job
classifications
are
generally
in
personnel
or
finance
that
are
sensitive,
and
so
they
are
not
in.
They
asked
me
bargaining
it.
So
it's
it's
to
give
them
similar
or
similar
benefits.
I
say.
A
A
Item
nine
p
understand:
we
do
not
need
executive
session
all
right.
We
have
a
motion
to
move
item
nine
P
to
executive
session,
cast
your
votes.
It
passes
I'm.
Sorry
to
we
do
not
need
you
to.
This
would
be
approving
the
resolution
and
not
going
into
executive
session,
and
it
passes
unanimously
all
right
item
9q
understand.
We
do
not
need
an
executive
session
right.
J
A
So
a
motion
to
approve
the
resolution
will
be
in
order
cast
your
votes.
It
passes
unanimously
item
nine
are
understand.
We
do
not
need
executive
session.
You're,
not
motion
to
approve
the
resolution
cast
your
votes,
it
passes
unanimously.
I
deny
Ness
I
understand.
We
do
need
executive
session.
Yes,
all
right.
How
about
a
motion
to
move
out
of
nine
s
into
executive
session?
A
Cast
your
votes?
It
passes
unanimously
item
90s
claims
recommended
for
denial.
Is
there
anyone
here,
hoping
to
speak
under
any
item
listed
under
90
all
right?
How
about
a
motion
to
deny
the
claims
cast?
Your
votes?
It
passes
unanimously
and
item
10a
is
claims
recommended
for
approval?
Is
there
anyone
here
wishing
to
speak
on
either
of
those
items.
A
Okay,
oh
yeah
I've
reflected
two
items
there
but
item
he
was
for
10.
A
1
B
has
already
been
stricken,
so
we're
just
voting
on
item
10a
1a
and
cast
your
votes,
and
it
passes
unanimously
item
11
as
items
from
counsel
and
Edie.
You
want
to
start
with
the
item
that
you've
introduced.
We're
bring
a
public
hearing
today,
all
right.
We
have
two
people
that
have
signed
signed
up:
Lenox,
Ryerson,
Gonzalez
yeah
come
on
forward
and
if
you
want
Andrew
with
you,
you
signed
up
on
the
same
sheet
of
paper.
AA
AA
You
know
so
you
can
hear
from
their
side
not
just
ours,
so
I'm
gonna
kind
of
like
pass
my
time
on
to
Jess
she's
one
of
our
employees,
and
she
has
a
couple
of
statements
that
she'd
like
to
read
from
herself
and
also
another
one
of
the
employees
that
works
for
us
that
wasn't
able
to
attend
today.
So,
okay,
great.
AB
A
AB
I'd
like
to
say
good
morning,
and
thanks
so
much
for
letting
me
speak
in
front
of
you
guys
today,
so
I
will
try
to
make
this
as
quick
as
possible
as
well,
because
I
am
reading
for
two
people
myself
and
another
employee.
I
will
start
off
with
my
statement
before.
I
started
employment
at
Adam
and
Eve
I
was
actually
a
customer,
and
my
experience
was
beyond
phenomenal.
I
can
remember,
feeling
or
walking
and
feeling
mentally
and
physically
broken
down.
AB
I
was
actually
opened
with
Oh
welcomed,
with
open
arms
and
I
explained
the
issue
that
I
was
having,
even
though
I
was
absolutely
terrified
to
be
there,
but
I
soon
realized
that
they
were
only
there
to
help
and
to
educate
me
and
not
to
judge
I
walked
out
of
that
store
that
day,
feeling
more
confident
in
myself
and
I
didn't
feel
as
worn
down
as
before.
I
have
also
taken
one
of
the
couples
classes
we
have
offered
in
the
past
before
I
was
an
employee
which
was
a
relationship
building
course.
AB
My
partner
and
I
learned
how
to
communicate
better
understand
each
other's
feelings
as
well
as,
ultimately,
it
brought
us
together.
I
can
personally
say
that
the
store
strives
and
to
strives
to
provide
the
best
sexual
education
and
well-being
of
our
customers.
I
can
say
this
with
confidence,
because,
as
an
employee,
I
am
required
to
take
sexual
health
courses
to
become
a
certified
sexual
health
expert
and
educator.
AB
Now,
with
that
being
said,
I
am
asked
in
store
and
not
not
only
in
store,
buy
out
of
store
personal
questions,
but
I
receive
questions
from
parents
on
how
to
bring
up
the
talk
about
sexual
health
with
their
children.
Now,
in
regards
to
the
code
in
question,
we
never
allow
children
in
the
store.
I
have
actually
turned
away
parents
who
bring
their
infants
in
because
no
one
under
the
age
of
18
can
enter
in
the
store.
AB
Now
most
responsible
parents
will
quickly
turn
their
children
away
from
the
store
do
that
it
is
an
adult
store
and
then
it
is
adult
nature.
Now,
on
that
note,
like
I
said
before,
we
are
an
adults
nor
not
a
family-oriented
store,
unlike
Walmart
Target
and
CVS,
which
are
starting
to
carry
these
adult
items
in
view
of
children,
which
is
not
OK.
AB
AB
To
put
my
opinions
and
account
into
a
quick
summary
would
never
do
this
business
justice.
However,
I
will
try
to
be
brief
in
regards
to
the
code
in
question.
I
find
it
hard
to
believe
that
this
day
even
operates
in
such
a
manner
having
grown
up
in
cities
with
adult
stores,
it
is
safe
to
say
that
houses
were
almost
always
nearby,
never
giving
much
regard
or
thought
toward
the
business
a
few
blocks
away,
but
simply
calling
Adam
and
Eve
an
adult
business
as
cutting.
AB
It
is
cutting
not
only
my
community
efforts,
but
my
work
family
is
hard
at
work
short.
One
of
the
few
reasons
I
was
hired
was
the
fact
that
I
wanted
to
make
a
difference
in
our
communities,
understanding
of
sexual
health
and
education
after
having
it
banned
in
both
my
middle
school
and
high
school
growing.
Up
now
that
I
am
a
certified
sexual
health
expert
and
educator.
I
can
rightfully
say
my
co-workers
and
I
stand
up
to
the
standard.
AB
I
was
hired
over
and
yes,
I,
say
standard
because
it
is
such
within
our
walls,
a
standard
I
requirement
and
a
necessity
being
educating
and
willing
to
teach
is
part
of
our
reason
for
being,
but
our
community
stands
aside.
I
can
personally
say
that
this
store,
rather
this
little
family,
has
changed
me
for
the
better
when
I
was
first
hired.
AB
That's
not
why
we're
here
an
overall
was
brought
to
the
attention
with
our
what
about
our
children,
or
rather
blatant
kids
and
adults
alike.
Shouldn't
have
to
be
exposed
to
any
adult
content.
My
response
to
that
is,
we
have
a.
We
have
operated
for
over
three
years
with
windows,
open
and
no
complaints
from
our
customers
in
Norman
granted.
We
cater
cater
to
a
rather
diverse
crowd.
However,
I
can
say
with
confidence
that
kids
are
never
a
factor
in
our
business.
At
our
norman
location,
we
are
placed
dead
center
on
historic,
Main
Street.
AB
It
is
safe
to
say
that
we
see
a
lot
of
foot
traffic
on
the
sidewalks
from
our
curved
windows
with
foot
traffic
comes
children.
Now,
from
what
I
can
see
on
a
near
daily
basis,
most
responsible
parents
will
assure
their
gilling
tots
away
from
the
windows,
the
youngsters
point
and
laugh
at
our
mannequins.
You
see
we
keep
any
adult
material
turned
away
from
our
sight
of
the
from
the
street,
rather
strategically
store.
Mapping
can
take
care
of
any
kiddo,
seen
something
their
parents
don't
want
them
to
see.
AB
Another
common
reaction
is
for
parents
to
explain
that.
It's
a
grown-up
shop
and
kids.
Don't
need
to
worry
about
it,
which
seems
more
fitting
than
any
other
description.
Kids
very
rarely
dive
into
the
adult
material
or
sexual
or
sexuality
itself,
until
they
are
experiencing
it
through
their
own
puberty
or
sexual
awareness,
in
which
case
a
formation,
internet
and
sex
education
classes
are
a
gift
to
the
public,
but
in
several
instances
we
are
also.
We
also
taught
parents
how
to
discuss
the
talk
or
any
other
number
of
milestones.
AB
Discussions
with
their
children
I
could
count
on
several
hands
how
many
resources
I've
gathered
in
pamphlets,
I
printed
to
parents
that
just
don't
know
how
to
talk
to
their
older
kids
about
sexual
health
and
safety.
We
our
Center
for
knowledge
and
resource
first
and
foremost,
as
linea
native
Andy's,
stated
before
they
hired
me.
It
and
I've
stood
up,
stood
and
repeatedly
repeated
daily
that
that's
what
we're
here,
for
we
are
here
to
help
getting
rid
of
us
well
with
the
state
of
our
education
system,
especially
regarding
sexual
education.
AB
I
think
it's
safe
to
say
it
would
be
horrific
for
not
only
generations
before,
like
the
baby,
boomers,
Gen,
Xers,
etc.
It
would
be
a
curse
for
the
parents
trying
to
raise
Gen,
Z
and
those
afterwards.
Thank
you
for
hearing
my
testimony.
I
am
sure
to
reflect.
I
am
sure
many
others
reflect
on
what
I
have
written.
Britney
airs.
Alright,.
A
AC
Want
to
thank
you,
mr.
mayor,
and
it's
not
understand
again
before
the
council
members,
and
we
appreciate
the
opportunity
that
we've
been
given
to
discuss
this
in
a
public
hearing
setting
and
also
thank
you
to
you
and
Brittany
and
the
rest
of
the
team
that
couldn't
be
here
today
that
that
really
touches
me.
We
didn't
coach,
Jess
or
or
Brittany
in
any
manner
and
and
to
hear
from
their
point
of
view,
is
really
validating
to
me,
because
when
certain
elements
of
the
city
are
against
what
we
do,
it's
hurt
hurtful
for
us.
AC
We
do
very
much
believe
that
we're
very
moral
people
and
that
we
are
in
keeping
with
the
tradition
of
Oklahoma
being
a
families
first
environment,
and
we
feel
that,
even
even
though,
when
this
ordinance
was
drafted
more
than
two
decades
ago,
it
doesn't
even
speak
to
if
you
can't
operate
a
store,
maybe
way
out
there
in
the
country
somewhere.
Wherever
these
you
can
get
out
of
those
circles,
there's
nothing
that
talks
about
what
age
you
have
to
be
to
be
in
these
stores.
To
me,
it's
common
sense,
I'm
sure
to
everybody.
AC
I
had
mentioned
Spencer's
because
I
remember
years
ago,
seeing
some
products
and
Spencer's,
maybe
one
or
two
or
three
and
I
walked
into
that
store
at
Ben
square
just
just
a
week
or
two
ago
and
I
was
actually
floored
because
for
what
we
believe
the
intent
of
the
ordinance
might
have
been
originally
and
by
the
way
we
were
not
able
to
find
any
any
minutes
or
any
discussion
of
why
this
ordinance
was
enacted
or
any
public
discussion
as
to
why
what
might
have
brought
that
forward.
AC
Walking
through
semesters,
I
was
I
was
just
floored
that
probably
easily
half
their
store
has
adult
products,
and
there
is
no
delineation
like
if
you're
under
18.
You
can't
go
beyond
this
point.
In
fact,
when
I
was
in
there,
there
were
a
number
of
youth
that
were
in
there
and
giggling
or
you
know
what
have
you
but
I
would
invite
each
of
you
to
please
take
a
look
at
one
of
our
locations.
AC
Think
it's
it's
it's
good
to
have
a
public
discussion
of
this
nature
and
talk
about
how
retailers
like
ourselves
and
others
that
are
not
present
here
today
can
work
with
the
neighborhood
can
work
with
the
various
cities
and
jurisdictions
and
the
state
on
how
to
do
things
prop
in
this
day
and
age,
in
2018
and
beyond.
I.
Think
that
there's
a
lot
more
room
for
intelligent
discussion
and
discourse
on
that.
So
again,
I
just
want
to
thank
everybody
for
taking
the
time
to
hear
us
on
this
issue
and
I.
AC
O
I
mean
I
think
he
makes
a
great
point
on
the
age
limit
being
a
more
common-sense
regulation
on
stores
like
this,
that
sell
these
sorts
of
items,
and
so
I
would
say
that
that's
a
good
route
to
go
rather
than
rather
than
a
distance,
but
over
the
last
two
weeks,
I've
had
I
had
a
thought
about
the
distance
being
a
thousand
feet
and
like
if
we
don't
want
to
just
kick
out
the
regulations
altogether,
which
is
what
this,
which
is.
What
this
will
do.
O
I
mean
I,
think
that
just
reducing
that
amount
would
make
it
to
where
we're
still
using
the
same
regulations.
But
it's
I
mean
a
thousand
feets
three
football
fields,
I
mean
I
would
say
that
something
more
reasonable
would
be
500
or
300
feet
to
where
it's
not
outlawing.
At
all,
I
mean
where
there's
only
certain
tiny
little
pockets
within
the
city
that
you
can
legally
be,
but
so
those
are
my
two
thoughts.
Okay,.
H
F
M
What
we're
talking
about
receiving
when-
and
this
is
not
a
project
I
initiated.
So
please
I,
don't
have
every
detail,
but
I
am
pretty
involved
in
sort
of
discussing
about
location
and
what
we
will
receive
when
the
ship
is
decommissioned,
which
maybe
three
or
four
years
from
now
is
only
the
sail,
which
is
the
part
that
goes
up
and
down.
And
so
it
is
not
the
submarine,
and
so
there's
been
some
discussion
about
using
the
sail
and
then
creating
a
320
foot
long,
which
is
the
size
of
a
football
field.
H
M
And
there
has
been
some
concern
expressed,
including
for
me
that
it
aesthetically
might
not
be.
You
know
completely
in
keeping
with
millions
of
dollars
that
we've
invested
in
the
boathouse
district
and
there
might
be
a
location
that
might
be
a
little
bit
more
appropriate
for
it.
It
needs
parking,
presumably
and
parking
is
an
issue
already
down
at
the
Boathouse
district
and
there's
some
other
sites
that
have
been
reviewed.
So
there's
just
an
ongoing
conversation
about
who
what
where
it
might
happen,
but
there's
a
very
dedicated
group
of
folks,
including
Admirals,
ilanic
and
I.
M
E
A
J
Just
want
to
say
mr.
manager,
thank
you
to
you
and
your
staff
for
putting
things
on
our
social
media
platforms
about
Black,
History
Month
and
especially
as
it
relates
to
the
accomplishments
that
we
have
made
as
a
city
throughout
the
way-out
time
so
again,
Thank
You
mr.
manager
and
thank
you
to
Christy
and
her
team.
Thank
you.
Mark
I.
L
Just
want
to
echo
your
comments,
you
think
about
Pat
Rooney,
JW,
Mashburn,
Carl,
Edwards
and
Valerie
Thompson
as
volunteers
for
16
years,
I
mean
that's.
That's
public
service
at
its
finest
and
I
would
hope
that
we
would
invite
them
here.
We
would
recognize
them
and
maybe
here's
some
great
war
stories
that
timing.
