Description
The regular meeting of the Oklahoma City City Council for
Tuesday, June 19, 2018, pt. 1
A
B
B
We
pray
to
God
Almighty,
to
guide
us
to
a
city
where
no
longer
towers
in
its
darkest
corners
shivering
of
the
fear
of
one
another
Lord
make
us
make
our
city
a
place
of
peace,
with
no
awe
Strasse,
tease,
no
brutalities,
no
homicide
and
no
horror
for
the
eyes
to
see
and
the
hearts
to
bleed
Lord
bless.
The
people
who
are
here
today
bless
our
elected
officials.
We
pray
that
these
men
and
women
will
humble
themselves
to
the
sacred
task
of
governing
for
all
the
people.
B
We
pray
for
our
leaders
to
be
gifted
in
diplomacy,
blessed
with
character
and
integrity,
leaders
who
know
our
security
comes
from
relationships
of
trust
and
communication
and
not
from
fear
and
intimidation
Lord
for
our
part,
as
citizens
give
us
the
patience
to
give
our
leaders
a
chance
to
govern
with
mercy,
compassion,
justice
and
love.
Let
us
support
sincere
efforts
and
celebrate
wise
compromise.
B
A
All
right,
I
call
this
meeting
of
the
City
Council
to
order,
and
it
is
always
a
joyous
occasion
when
we
get
to
welcome
a
new
member
to
the
City
Council.
It
also
means
I'm
no
longer
the
new
guys
and
I
like
that,
and
so
I
would
like
to
invite
under
item
3
a
pastor,
Lee
Cooper
jr.
to
this
podium
and
I
believe
he
will
be
sworn
in
by
the
Honorable
Vicki
miles.
Lagrange.
C
C
C
C
A
D
Of
all
mr.
mayor
and
council
and
the
city
manager,
thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
have
this
moment
just
to
say
thanks
to
a
number
of
people.
First
of
all,
I
want
to
say
thanks
to
my
family,
for
coming
and
sharing
my
immediate
family
I
have
my
only
granddaughter
who
was
here,
who
was
2
years
old
and
so
I'm
excited
to
have
her.
Of
course,
she's
runs
everything
around
the
house
and
then
I
have
my
entire
family,
who
was
here
and
I
just
want
all
of
them
to
stand
all
my
family.
D
If
you
would,
please
stand
good
to
have
you
sharing
with
us
one
today,
then,
all
of
my
church,
family
I've
got
a
church.
Family
and
I
want
all
of
them
to
stand
as
well,
who
have
come
out
to
support
and
thank
you
so
very,
very
much
Thank
You
mr.
mayor,
what
a
honor
it
was
to
have
the
Honorable
Vicki
miles
Lagrange
to
come
and
swear
me
in
on
today.
Thank
you
for
taking
the
time
out
to
come
and
be
a
part
of
this
special
occasion.
For
me.
Thank
you.
God
bless
you
Thank
You,
mr.
A
I'm
moving
on
to
the
normal
business
of
the
City
Council,
we
have
a
proclamation
this
morning.
This
is
commemorating
Park
and
Recreation
month
and
I.
Think
we've
got
a
pretty
robust
group
of
people
who
benefit
from
our
Parks
and
Rec
Department
if
they
could
all
join
me.
All
the
people
that
were
with
me
this
morning
in
the
office
and
down
on
the
steps
feel
free
to
come
on
up
here.
E
Whereas
Oklahoma
City
recognizes
the
invaluable
contribution
of
Parks
and
Recreation
Department
employees
and
volunteers
who
help
people
relax,
connect
with
others
and
enjoy
the
many
benefits
of
parts
and
recreation
programs
and
facilities
now,
therefore,
David
Holt,
the
mayor
of
the
city
of
Oklahoma
City,
does
hereby
proclaim
the
month
of
July
as
Parks
and
Recreation
month
in
Oklahoma
City.
All.
A
F
F
These
represent
our
base,
our
future
baseball
players
and
our
future
soccer
players.
Hopefully
we
might
even
have
some
Olympians
and
some
some
professionals
coming
out
of
this,
but
the
main
thing
is:
we
strive
to
make
them
better
students
in
our
classes
so
that
they
can
go
on
to
college
and
get
a
good
education
and
stay
in
Oklahoma
City
and
perpetuate
the
the
great
Oklahoma
standards
that
we
have
here.
I
want
to
point
out
a
couple
of
my
folks:
I've
got
Chris
Hamilton
here,
who
is
our
superintendent
for
recreation?
F
He
he's
the
one
that
is
steering
the
ship
as
it
relates
to
Recreation
programming
throughout
the
city.
We
have
grant
here
that
that
has
spearheaded
our
baseball
he's
an
example
he's
a
former
professional
baseball
player.
So
you
know
we
have
quality
instruction
going
into
our
children
here
and
in
this
community.
So
I
just
want
to
thank
all
of
our
folks
that
that
do
everything
for
our
people
and
the
future
of
our
city
and
the
kids
to
get
out
and
play
during
July
get
out
and
play
every
month,
but
July
is
Parks
and
Recreation
month.
G
A
H
C
J
A
All
right,
we
have
one
other
item
under
office
of
the
mayor,
and
that
is
actually
a
presentation.
This
morning
an
economic
development
update
by
Roy
Williams,
president
of
the
greater
Oklahoma
City
Chamber
of
Commerce
and
Roy.
If
you
wouldn't
mind
coming
forward,
we
would
love
to
hear
from
you
Thank.
K
K
Congratulations,
councilman,
Cooper
before
I
make
my
remarks.
I
just
want
to
give
all
of
you
a
heads
up
in
the
event
you're
planning
on
having
lunch
downtown.
Today
we
have
about
25,000
guests,
downtown
right
now,
they're,
all
convention
delegates
for
a
major
convention
in
town,
so
two
requests
be
courteous
and
be
early
because
the
restaurants
will
be
crowded.
K
Since
I
last
spoke
to
you
in
February,
we
made
some
pretty
significant
progress
on
a
number
of
projects.
I
want
to
tell
you
about
those
as
well
as
some
things
we're
looking
forward
to
first
the
innovation
district.
If
you
read
Sunday's
Daily
Oklahoman,
you
saw
the
announcement
that
Katie
Boren
has
been
selected
to
serve
as
the
district's
president
and
CEO.
She
brings
many
talents
to
the
table
that
really
give
her
the
capacity
we
were
looking
forward
to
accomplished
some
really
aggressive
goals
that
we
have
set
out.
K
She
will
immediately
work
to
stand
up
the
formal
organization
we've
created
to
brand
the
district
and
to
create
the
programs
and
activities
that
will
call
for
in
the
Brookings
Institute
plan,
as
well
as
the
project
for
public
spaces.
She
begins
work,
July,
9th,
so
right
around
the
corner,
we've
been
representing
the
city
in
a
number
of
venues.
K
I
want
to
share
with
you
several
most
recent
in
April
about
50
of
our
members,
traveled
to
Washington
DC,
to
meet
with
our
congressional
delegation,
our
five
Congress
members
of
Congress
and
both
senators,
and
we
had
conversations
with
the
Pentagon
as
well
as
Air
Force
officials.
These
were
conversations
relative
to
infrastructure
and
the
continued
growth
expansion
of
both
tinker
air
force
base
and
Mike
Maroni
aeronautical
center.
Those
were
our
chief
topics.
K
In
May
we
led
the
Oklahoma
City
presence
at
the
annual
International
Council
of
shopping,
centers
called
recon,
a
meeting
in
Las
Vegas
of
more
than
35,000
retail,
real
estate
professionals
and
deal
makers.
During
the
show
we
had
about
24
meetings
with
key
national
developers,
brokers
and
retailers
regarding
growth
and
opportunity
in
our
market.
In
addition,
we
do
an
annual
lunch
with
the
mayor
of
our
local
area
brokers.
K
So
mayor
Holt,
thank
you
for
leading
that
delegation
and
for
hosting
that
luncheon,
and
earlier
this
month
we
led
the
Oklahoma
delegation
presence
at
the
bio
international
organization
show,
which
is
a
worldwide
meeting
of
bioscience
leaders
in
Boston.
The
delegation
that
Oklahoma
had
there
numbered
about
45
and
we
hosted
more
than
240
pre
arranged
meetings
in
our
Oklahoma
bio
exhibit.
K
We're
also
especially
pleased
that
we're
going
to
have
the
opportunity
to
meet
with
the
former
Chancellor
of
the
Washington
DC
Public
Schools
Michelle
Rhee,
one
of
the
nation's
most
widely
recognized
figures
in
education
and
she's,
going
to
present
her
outlook
to
us
on
the
nation's
educational
system
and
her
current
work
that
she's,
leading
with
regard
to
a
network
of
California
charter
schools.
We're
also
going
to
learn
how
they've,
recruited
and
cultivated
new
industry
new
employers
and
used
their
agricultural
heritage
as
an
economic
development
tool
all
while
embracing
a
giant
employer
that
they
have
just
like.
K
We
do
in
that
state
government.
Additionally,
we're
going
to
learn
from
the
mayor's
office
and
their
economic
development
leaders
about
what
they're
doing
and
recruiting
and
retaining
tech
talent
by
being
in
the
shadow
of
San
Francisco
switching
to
air
service.
We
continue
to
work
with
the
airport
on
attracting
and
promoting
new
nonstop
service,
we're
currently
marketing
the
new
nonstop
service
to
Philadelphia.
K
Last
month,
we
were
happy
to
support
the
airport's
proposal
to
Southwest
Airlines
for
nonstop
service
to
Washington
Reagan,
which
was
accepted
and
announced,
and
these
flights
begin
in
November,
and
we
will
begin
shortly
before
that
marketing
those
that
route
as
well.
This
now
brings
our
total
airport
direct
service
up
to
30,
and
there
are
only
a
few
other
destinations
remaining
that
are
really
on
our
targeted
list
for
direct
service
in
the
area
of
criminal
justice.
K
The
new
criminal
justice
Coordinating
Council,
is
picking
up
and
moving
forward
where
the
task
force
left
off
through
collective
efforts,
we've
reduced
our
jail
population
down
to
about
annual
pop
daily
population
of
about
1,600.
We
were
at
eighteen
hundred
and
fifty
in
my
last
report
to
you
about
three
months
ago,
all
of
this
from
a
high
of
more
than
2,600
on
a
daily
basis,
so
about
a
40%
reduction.
K
We've
also
already
seen
some
success
at
the
legislature
on
a
bill
that
the
task
force
recommended
and
is
supporting
that
allows
special
judges
to
release
inmates
on
their
own
recognizance,
commonly
known
as
oh,
are
bonds,
and
also
due
to
another
bill,
passed
last
session
that
we
supported
I've,
been
named
the
chair
of
a
task
force
on
fines
and
fees
and
look
forward
to
the
house
naming
its
committee
members.
So
we
can
proceed
with
that
task
force
this
summer.
K
With
regard
to
new
companies
and
job
creation,
we
continue
to
have
a
very
strong
pipeline
and
a
number
of
companies
have
announced
expansions
or
new
locations.
Since
the
last
time
I
visited
with
you,
the
largest
project
which
you're
well
aware
of,
is
the
Amazon
Fulfillment
Center
at
Will,
Rogers
Airport
that
will
bring
about
750
jobs
in
about
140
million
in
capital.
Investment
CACI
international
out
of
Arlington
Virginia
is
bringing
550
new
employees
to
West
Oklahoma
City.
This
international
company,
just
by
coincidence,
is
chaired
by
a
native
of
Oklahoma
City.
K
We
have
about
60
active
projects
that
we're
still
working
on
with
regard
to
legislative
success,
even
though
I
mentioned
a
little
bit,
it's
very
difficult
and
challenging,
but
we
did
enjoy
some
key
priorities.
This
legislative
session,
including
enactment
of
the
teacher
pay,
raise
which,
while
it
was
not
perfect
in
its
execution,
it
was
a
significant
accomplishment
as
well.
We
protected
all
of
the
economic
and
community
development
programs
that
we
utilize
in
our
economic
development
efforts.
K
We
achieved
enactment
of
nine
very
significant
criminal
justice
reforms,
including
a
chamber
sponsored
legislation
that
provides
special
district
court
judges,
clear
authority
to
sign
pre
release,
orders
also
the
Oklahoma
quality
events.
Act
was
extended.
It
was
under
sunset
review
and
we
were
able
to
obtain
a
repeal
and
veto
of
the
$5
per
night
hotel
motel
that
got
enacted
other
successes
included
and
improved
and
broadened
small
employer
quality.
Jobs
Act
an
initiative
to
help
smaller
companies
in
legislation
to
provide
state
safety,
designation
authority
to
ODOT
Oklahoma
Department
of
Transportation.
K
That
will
allow
cities
to
continue
receiving
millions
in
federal,
transit
funding
and
legislation,
creating
an
automobile
engineering
tax
credit.
Much
like
the
aerospace
engineer,
tax
credit.
The
chamber
also
led
a
coalition
of
Oklahomans
for
business
and
property
owners
rights,
a
group
of
about
50
businesses,
associations,
higher
education
institutions
and
law
enforcement
organizations
that
were
established
to
oppose
what
we
perceived
to
be
some
irresponsible
expansion
of
gun
rights.
K
A
L
Questions
sure
what
I
wanted
to,
like
hundreds
of
other
states,
municipalities
and
counties,
this
council
is
trying
to
consider
what
our
response
to
the
opiate
crisis
would
be
and
in
in
reading
about
it.
I'm
struck
about
the
economic
impact
of
this
crisis
and
you
can
google
economic
impact
of
opiate
crisis
and
come
up
with
lots
of
good
studies,
but
basically
in
the
hundreds
of
billions
of
dollars,
estimated
at
least
50
billion
a
year
of
economic
impact.
L
When
you,
when
you
factor
in
health
care
costs
and
criminal
justice
costs,
which
you
alluded
to
when
you
consider
that
Oklahoma
City
has
ranked
12th
in
the
country
among
cities
and
number
of
opiate
prescriptions
being
abused
at
forty
eight
percent,
basically
one
out
of
every
two
prescription,
opiate
prescription
being
written
in
16th
among
cities
in
the
United
States
in
terms
of
the
opiate
abuse
rate
I'm.
Just
wondering
what
you're,
seeing
on
your
end
in
terms
of
impact
to
employers,
you've
talked
about
the
potential
impact
of
marijuana
to
do
employers.
What?
L
K
L
You
I
mean
I,
don't
I,
don't
you
don't
need
to
lean
in
on
what
let's
just
take
the
state
suits
and
the
suits
that
are
if
there
was
a
large
settlement,
it
looks
and
it
looks
like
there
will
be
a
settlement
that
then
would
be
distributed
to
cities.
You
think
we
could.
That
could
make
an
impact.
Could
we
absolutely.
K
L
You
very
much
the
second
question,
so
Tulsa
announced
Amazon
Fulfillment
Center
right
last
week,
so
we're
not
necessarily
and
agree
and
I
don't
want
to
get
into
I
mean
I
I
feel
like
Amazon's
gonna.
Do
these
fulfillment
centers
in
every
major
metropolitan
area
with
or
without
an
incident,
and
we
can
disagree
with
that.
I
don't
want
to
get
into
it.
But
can
you
just
tell
me
what
what
steps
we
take
to
try
and
protect
ourselves
from
paying
incentives
when
maybe
a
company
is
going
to
do
something
with
without
the
in
Senate
or
there
all
right?
L
L
K
That's
a
thousand
acre
new
development,
and
if
you
can
get
a
signature
project
early
on
into
a
new
development,
you
create
momentum
to
build
out
the
rest
of
it
and
it
also
provided
the
opportunity
to
put
in
some
infrastructure.
So
you
know
I
I,
look
at
that
is
not
just
a
project
but
as
a
tool
for
helping
us
down
the
road
in
other
economic
development.
M
Just
a
comment:
I
guess:
congratulations
on
the
groundbreaking
after
the
convention
center,
that
was,
that
was
a
big
day.
It
was
a
big
day
and
just
the
energy
and
excitement
about
that
corner
and
in
what
is
going
to
happen
in
the
next
two
years
was
really
palatable,
but
the
job
creation
and
the
opportunities
and
that
it
was
just
almost
overwhelming
it.
K
N
A
Their
comments
or
questions
all
right,

Roy

Chimere,
the.
A
P
Thank
you,
man,
council
yeah,
we're
throwing
a
party
for
the
volunteers
that
kind
of
make
everything
happen
that
mr.
Williams
was
talking
about
so
we're
having
that
next
Tuesday
at
Kerr
Park,
it's
kind
of
been
moved
around
a
little
bit
from
what
your
map
shows
due
to
the
construction.
Finally
starting
there
that
they're
doing
but
we'll
be
there
just
from
4:30
to
6:00
o'clock
that
evening,
okay,.
P
A
Got
a
motion
in
a
second
and
item
6a,
any
discussion
cast
your
votes
passes
unanimously.
Thank
you,
sir.
Thank
you,
sir,
and
we've
now
got
item
6b
a
revocable
right-of-way
use
permit
within
TM
recognition
corporation
to
hold
the
run
for
recognition
on
June
23rd
Northwest,
7th
Street,
and,
if
you
wouldn't
mind
introducing
yourself
and
I,
am.
Q
Q
Is
concerning
a
race
that
is
happening
at
my
store?
Okay,
runner,
okay,
see
it
is
708
North
Broadway,
we've
been
there
a
year.
We
did
this
race
virtually
at
the
inception
of
the
store
opening
last
year,
we're
very
thrilled
that
MTM
wanted
to
bring
it
primarily
because
it
we
think
infuses
a
lot
of
energy
on
a
Saturday
morning
and
more
primarily,
this
race,
always
MTM
recognition
and
okay.
Runner
are
very
big
advocates
of
Special
Olympics
Oklahoma,
and
every
penny
for
these
seven
years
raised
from
the
race
has
gone
to
Special
Olympics,
Oklahoma
Oklahoma.
A
A
M
A
A
We
will
recess
our
council
meeting
and
convene
as
a
different
body
the
Oklahoma
City
municipal
facilities,
Authority
councilman
Cooper,
when
you
were
saying
all
those
different
authorities.
This
is
one
of
them.
We
have
this.
This
body
has
the
same
membership
as
the
council
authorities
and
trusts
have
a
little
different
responsibilities
and
powers,
and
so
this
gives
us
that
ability-
and
we
have
a
few
items
here
and
I-
would
entertain
a
motion
for
all
of
them
at
once
and
I
think
we
under
this,
though,
before
we
vote,
we
got
a
presentation
on
item
F
annual
budget.
A
R
The
MFA
pros
it
prevent
permits
these
activities
to
benefit
from
multi-year
contracts,
allows
for
the
funding
of
adequate
reserves
and
can
be
a
source
of
financing
for
certain
projects.
So
when
we
look
at
the
budget
overall
for
the
MFA,
its
one
hundred
and
nineteen
point
nine
million
dollars,
that's
a
nine
point,
seven
percent
increase
from
the
current
year.
The
largest
portion
of
the
budget,
is
for
health
insurance
for
city
employees
and
the
contributions
come
from
both
the
employee
and
employer
contributions
for
premiums
tolling.
R
R
Each
year,
using
a
revolving
fund
advance
capital
allows
the
city
to
begin
work
on
bond
projects
before
the
geo
bonds
have
been
sold.
This
allows
for
some
design
work
or
right-of-way
purchases
or
other
tasks
in
advance.
So
when
the
bonds
are
sold,
the
RET
work
is
ready
to
be
done
quicker.
The
Geo
bonds
purchased
the
plans
or
the
work
that's
been
done
from
the
MFA
so
that
the
funds
are
replenished
and
can
be
used
on
other
projects.
R
And,
finally,
the
general
purpose
category
in
the
MFA
includes
oil
and
gas
royalties
from
parkland
that
are
used
for
park
system
improvement.
We
have
drainage
capital
improvements
from
fees
paid
by
developers
and
other
miscellaneous
purposes,
such
as
contracts
for
cleaning
up
high
grass
and
weeds
and
junk
and
debris
removal
from
properties
cited
by
development
services.
When
we
look
at
where
the
revenue
comes
from
for
the
MFA,
the
largest
portion
is
employee
and
employer
health
insurance
premium
contributions.
Next
is
transfers
from
other
funds
such
as
transfers
from
the
IT
internal
service
fund
or
risk
management.
R
Internal
service
fund
fund
balance
or
carryover
from
the
prior
years
makes
up
18%
of
the
funding
for
next
year's
budget.
Much
of
the
funding
for
the
advance
capital,
funding
for
geo
bonds
comes
from
fund
balance
and
other
significant
areas
where
fund
balance
is
used,
include
IT
capital
projects
and
oil
and
gas
royalties
on
park
lands
and
the
other
again,
a
small
source
is
made
up
of
interest
fees
for
development
services,
cleanup
and
number
of
other
miscellaneous
items.
R
Finally,
when
we
look
at
expenses
in
the
MFA
by
category
that
the
municipal
budget
Act
calls
out
you'll
see
it
over
86%
fall
into
the
other
services
and
charges
category,
because
so
much
of
the
MFA
is
about
providing
service
through
contract
such
as
health,
insurance
or
IT
software
maintenance
agreements,
so
the
other
categories
again
all
less
than
6%.
So
with
that
brief
over
you'll
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
about
the
MFA
budget.
One.
S
R
Well,
especially
like
the
the
capital
funding
that
we
have
for
the
advanced
A&E
and
the
Geo
bond
projects
is
really
it's.
It's
sitting
there
until
it's
used
and
then
gets
revolved
back
through
sets,
that's
about
an
eight
million
dollar
piece
that
revolves
through
there
also
on
the
IT
capital
projects.
A
lot
of
those
projects
end
up
taking
longer
than
they
expect
and
so
they'll
put
the
money
over
there,
and
sometimes
there
will
be
a
higher
than
average
fund
balance
at
the
end
of
the
year,
because
the
projects
are
still
in
process.
R
A
A
We
will
now
adjourn
OSI
MFA
and
convene
as
the
Oklahoma
City
public
property
authority,
and
we
also
here
have
several
items
as
well
as
a
presentation
from
Doug,
but
if
anybody
has
a
motion,
we'll
go
ahead
and
I
suppose
with
that
got
a
motion
in
a
second
on
all
the
items
Doug
if
you'd
like
to
make
a
presentation.
This
of
course,
is
regarding
item
II
under
this
agenda,
which
is
the
budget
for
the
Oklahoma
City
public
property
authority.
R
So
like
the
LCM
FA,
the
the
Oklahoma
Public
Property
authority
or
the
PPA
trust
indenture
provides
broad
authority,
but
generally
the
PPA
has
been
geared
more
to
supporting
operations
such
as
the
golf
courses,
the
Civic
Center
Chesapeake,
Energy
Arena
and
the
Cox
Convention
Center,
as
well
as
financing
for
improvements
at
the
fairgrounds.
So
when
we
look
at
the
FY
19
budget
for
the
OC
MFA,
it
totals
sixty
point
eight
million
dollars-
that's
a
decrease
of
eleven
point.
Five
percent
from
the
current
year-
and
it's
indicated
on
the
chart
here-
you
can
see.
R
Fairgrounds-
makes
up
the
largest
portion
of
that
at
twenty
nine
point:
seven
million
dollars
almost
half
the
total
and
that
function
is
primarily
composed
of
debt
service
on
the
revenue
bonds
at
the
fairgrounds
paid
by
the
hotel-motel
tax.
Second
largest
categories
related
to
maps
contracts,
maps
related
facility
contracts
at
fifteen
point
four
million
dollars
or
about
25%
of
total
golf
courses
are
the
third
largest
at
ten
point:
eight
million
dollars
a
significant
change
this
year
is
in
the
Civic
Center,
because
the
foundation
Civic
Center
Foundation,
is
taking
over
operations
at
the
Civic
Center.
R
Our
revenues
will
no
longer
flow
through
the
OC
PPA
as
they
have,
and
so
that's
the
the
result
of
the
that's
the
decrease.
That's
going
on
in
the
OC
PPA.
You
will
see
there's
a
small
piece
still
for
the
Civic
Center.
That's
the
general
fund
will
be
supporting
the
foundation
that
makes
up
about
1.5
percent
of
the
total.
We
also
have
some
small
portions
in
the
PPA
for
sports
facilities,
improvements,
economic
development,
natural
gas
contracting
and
our
general
purpose
expenses.
R
We've
broken
that
out
on
its
own,
and
the
most
significant
piece
of
the
total
from
the
general
fund
goes
to
support
operations
at
the
Cox
Convention
Center
in
Chesapeake
arena
through
our
contract
with
SMG
and
fund
balance,
is
the
second
largest
revenue
in
the
OSI
PPA.
At
fifteen
point:
eight
million
dollars
our
nearly
twenty
six
percent
and
the
largest
year
with
fund
balances
at
the
fairgrounds,
the
Development
Fund
there.
That
makes
the
payments
on
the
revenue
bonds.
R
The
payments
build
up
in
that
fund
until
it
comes
for
a
semi-annual
payment
to
bondholders,
and
so
that
creates
a
significant
fund
balance
at
June,
30th
and
then
golf
course.
Revenue
accounts
for
nine
and
a
half
million
dollars,
or
almost
16
percent
of
total
and
other
sources
make
up
about
five
and
a
half
percent.
R
So
when
we
look
at
the
categories
again,
those
municipal
budget
categories
you'll
see
it's
a
much
broader
distribution
here
within
the
PPA
than
the
MFA
and
again
contracts
are
one
of
the
Obinna
multi-year
contracts
is
one
of
the
benefits
of
using
a
trust
and
the
two
largest
expenditures
there
are
in
the
other
services
and
charges,
which
is
our
primarily
our
contracts
and
then
also
capital
projects
which
together
comprise
over
fifty
five
percent
of
our
expenses.
Other
services
and
charges
account
for
twenty
1.1
million
dollars
or
roughly
thirty,
five
percent
total.
R
The
biggest
piece
of
that
is
again
our
contract
with
SMG
to
manage
the
Cox
Center
in
the
Chesapeake
Energy
Arena
capital
outlay.
A
twelve
point:
eight
million
dollars
includes
Fairgrounds
improvements,
as
well
as
projects
at
maps
related
facilities,
that
services
primarily
primarily
for
the
fairgrounds
bonds,
but
there
is
also
some
debt
at
the
golf
courses
that
being
repaid
and
transfers
at
thirteen
and
a
half
million
dollars
or
twenty
two
percent
total
are
mostly
the
transfer
of
hotel-motel
tax
revenue.
R
That's
in
excess
of
our
debt
service
requirements
back
to
the
hotel
motel
tax
each
month
and
the
only
area
in
the
OSI
PPA
with
personnel
cost
is
the
golf
courses
and
their
total
is
four
point:
six
million
dollars
for
personal
services
or
seven
point
six
percent.
So
again
it's
a
quick
brief
overview
of
the
PPA,
but
I'd
be
happy
answering
questions
you
may
have
on
that
crate.
M
I'm
not
for
Doug,
but
I
just
wanted
to
recognize
Teresa
Rose
cookies
here
for
the
Civic
Center
Foundation.
This
really
important
amendment
to
our
contract
with
them.
If
effective,
July,
1st
Civic
Center
foundation
will
take
over
operations
of
the
Civic
Center
and
it
you
know
it's
sort
of
a
new
opportunity,
I
would
say
for
everybody
and
there's
been
a
tremendous
amount
of
work
done.
I
really
want
to
recognize
the
committee
at
the
Civic
Center
Foundation,
but
also
our
municipal
counselor's
office
and
Elizabeth
gray
who's.
A
Thank
you
any
other
comments.
Thank
you,
Doug,
all
right,
any
discussion
and
any
of
the
items
under
the
OSI
PPA
agenda.
Seeing
none
will
cast
our
votes
passes
unanimously.
We
will
now
adjourn
OCP,
PA
and
convene
is
the
Oklahoma
City
environmental
assistance
trust?
There
is
one
item
here:
claims
in
payroll
that
does
require
a
motion
which
I
would
entertain
got
a
motion
in
a
second.
Is
there
any
discussion
seeing
none
cast
your
votes
passes
unanimously.
We
now
adjourn
the
Oklahoma
City
environmental
assistance,
trust
and
reconvene
as
the
City
Council,
and
we
have
the
item.
A
M
M
M
M
Under
percent
on
my
game,
this
is
with
the
Center
for
employment
opportunities
and
it's
a
contract
that
we
did
on
a
test
basis.
Last
year
it
was
very
successful
working
with
our
utilities
and
Public
Works,
providing
a
work
crew,
and
these
are
for
an
organization
that
offers
transitional
work
to
you,
know,
folks
that
are
coming
out
of
the
prison
system
and
facing
barriers
to
employment.
So
it's
a
really
great
opportunity
for
us
to
partner
with
them
and
I,
very
much
appreciate
it,
and
then
seven
AC
is
just
a
shout
out.
M
M
A
Great,
thank
you.
Yeah
I,
certainly
echo
your
support
of
CEO
on
item
D
and
then
I
would
also
mention
that
we
only
have
a
1
percent
for
art
on
maps
3
because
you
authored
the
ordinance
10
years
ago
to
do
that.
Is
there
any
other
comments
on
the
consent?
Docket
all
right.
We
have
a
motion
in
a
second,
so
seeing
no
further
discussion
will
cast
their
votes
passes
unanimously.
All
right
now
we
move
all
the
way
to
page
23.
The
concurrence
docket
item
8.
A
I've
got
a
motion
in
a
second:
does
anyone
want
to
pull
anything
out,
seeing
no
such
requests?
Is
there
any
discussion
on
anything
under
item
8,
seeing
none
will
cast
their
votes
passes
unanimously
and
now
we
have
arrived
at
item
9
items
requiring
separate
votes.
I
am
going
to
pull
up
item
9
M,
because
dr.
goodloe
of
the
Medical
Control
Board
has
requested
to
speak
earlier
than
scheduled
on
the
agenda
to
accommodate
scheduling
conflicts,
and
so
I
would
welcome
dr.
T
You
mr.
mayor
and
thank
you,
members
of
the
council,
it's
always
a
privilege
to
be
here
with
you,
especially
when
I
am
bringing
good
news
about
the
health
of
our
EMS
system.
I
just
want
to
share
a
few
comments
with
you
this
morning,
as
I
request
your
approval
or
our
fiscal
year.
1819
budget
for
the
medical
oversight
component
of
our
EMS
system
with
me
this
morning
is
dr.
Curtis
Knowles,
dr.
T
I
continue
to
be
very,
very
proud
of
our
immediate
past
fire
chief
in
Oklahoma
City
chief
Bryant,
for
many
of
my
colleagues
around
the
country
reach
out
and
share
with
me
instances
where
they
have
encountered
him
at
various
functions
around
the
country.
Now,
as
our
National,
Fire,
administrator
and
I,
think
it
just
continues
to
speak
well
for
the
type
of
leaders
that
we
grow
here
in
in
Oklahoma
City.
Obviously,
chief
Kelly
has
done
an
outstanding
job,
stepping
in
and
taking
the
helm
of
the
fire
department.
T
I
really
enjoy
the
relationship
and
the
ability
for
very
productive
dialogue
that
I
have
on
an
ongoing
basis
with
Chief
Kelly
and
his
command
staff,
particularly
our
EMS
chief
James
blocker,
and
then
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
make
a
comment
about
what
I
see
as
a
particularly
positive
move
in
the
Emergency
Medical
Services
Authority
in
the
last
year.
We
are
absolutely
blessed
with
the
leader
that
we
need
a
temp
so
right
now,
Jim
Wynnum
mr.
Windham
worked
in
my
office
for
three
years.
I
know
him
incredibly
well.
T
I
cannot
think
of
a
more
ethical
leader
that
could
be
at
em.
So
right
now,
I'm
very
proud
to
see
him
in
that
role
as
CEO
and
president
we've
had
a
great
year
in
our
EMS
system,
extremely
proud
of
the
clinical
work
that
occurs
on
the
street
each
and
every
day.
I
do
want
to
make
one
comment:
referencing
dr.
kshitij,
earlier
questions
about
the
opioid
crisis.
There
is
no
question
that
we
have
problems
in
the
areas
that
we
serve
in
Metro,
Oklahoma,
City
and
Tulsa.
T
We
watched
this
very
carefully
as
it
impacts
our
EMS
system,
our
use
of
naloxone,
the
antidote
for
opioid
overdoses,
to
the
extent
that
they
are
truly
life-threatening
and
impair
proper
respiratory
mechanics
and
cardiac
perfusion
and
and
survival
from
those
type
of
situations
that
is
up
about
15%
over
last
year.
That
does
not
necessarily
track
each,
and
every
time
we
give
naloxone
does
not
necessarily
mean
that
that
person
has
a
life-threatening
opiate
overdose,
but
it
certainly
means
in
the
eyes
of
very
astute
police
officers,
firefighters,
EMTs
paramedics
that
are
carrying
naloxone.
T
Something
is
wrong
with
that
person's
alertness
and
and
their
stability
from
a
medical
standpoint
that
they
have
appropriate
reason
to
think
that
it
could
be
due
to
opioids
most
of
the
time
that
we
do
give
naloxone.
It
does
wind
up
being
an
opioid
overdose,
so
it
is
concerning
to
see
you
know
the
use
of
naloxone
on
the
rise.
T
Apart
from
my
work
in
the
EMS
system,
educating
our
EMTs
and
paramedics
on
the
seriousness
of
opioids
and
making
sure
that
when
we
are
working
with
patients
on
the
street
in
times
of
serious
trauma
where
they
need
some
pain
relief,
they
have
a
leg,
fracture
or
some
type
of
really
debilitating
acute
pain.
We're
very,
very
careful
as
to
how
often
we
are
using
opioids
and-
and
we
have
a
tremendous
accountability
record
of
how
we
control
those
substances
within
our
system
working
very
closely
with
the
Oklahoma
Bureau
of
Narcotics
and
the
Drug
Enforcement
Administration.
T
These
are
two
bills
that
are
working
through
the
House
and
Senate
right
now,
both
designed
to
also
highlight
the
dangers
of
opioid,
but
also
find
other
answers
to
pain,
control
in
the
practice
of
medicine
beside
opioids,
so
I
counselor
I
really
appreciate
your
interest
in
the
in
the
topic.
It
is
something
that
you
know
throughout
the
spectrum
of
EMS
medicine
and
emergency
medicine,
although
we
are
a
very,
very
small
segment
of
the
opioids
that
are
prescribed
for
folks
and
obviously
doing
so
on
very
short-term
basis.
T
We
absolutely
share
those
concerns
and
we
want
to
be
part
of
the
answer
as
well,
so
appreciate
your
interest
and
leadership
on
that.
Just
wanted
to
brief
the
council
very
quickly
on
those
matters.
So
with
that
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
about
our
budget.
Just
as
a
reminder,
this
is
not
additional
money
that
you
are
approving.
L
Grateful
for
your
comments
as
well.
I
guess
I
had
asked
the
same
question
we
asked
Roy
Williams.
Is
it
if
cities
could
come
up
with
like
a
tea
set
like
fund?
Do
you
think
there
would
be
utility
in
that,
both
in
terms
of
education
and
potentially
treatment
kind
of
cleaning
up
the
mess?
If
you
will
oh
I.
T
I
think
education
is
certainly
always
a
valuable
arm
of
the
attack
on
this.
If
you
will,
there
is
a
lot
of
interest
in
what
we
call
m80
medication
assisted
treatment
right
now
when
patients
are
coming
to
emergency
departments
in
Oklahoma,
City,
Tulsa
and,
frankly,
all
around
the
state.
The
sad
reality
is
that
patients
that
come
in
and
say
I
am
hooked
on
heroin.
I'm
hooked
on
opioid,
prescription
pills,
I
need
help.
Frankly,
if
those
patients
are
not
acutely
suicidal
or
a
harm
to
others,
we
really
have
very
little
resources
at
our
disposal.
T
Most
of
what
happens
in
those
encounters
right
now
is
to
give
them
a
list
of
some
community
outpatient
resources,
honestly
knowing
full
well
that,
even
if
they
call
at
8:00
in
the
morning
there
they're
going
to
be
met
with
someone
that
really
cares
on
the
other
end
of
the
phone,
but
they're
also
going
to
be
met
with
the
message
that
their
inpatient
treatment
beds
are
quite
full.
They
can
be
put
on
a
waiting
list,
and
you
know
good
luck
in
the
interim,
which
might
be
weeks.
T
If
not
even
you
know
two
three
four
months
and
of
course
the
crisis
continues
in
that
time,
so
we're
very
interested
in
the
ability
to
be
able
to
prescribe
a
medication
from
the
emergency
department,
Buford,
Buford
or
furan
suboxone.
That
could
help
these
these
folks
get
on
a
very
short-term
treatment
plan
that
challenge
with
that
approach
still
remains.
T
We
have
to
have
some
outlet
to
send
them
to
once
we
start
that
therapy,
so
we've
we've
we've
got
a
lot
of
work
ahead
of
us,
but
I'm
very
encouraged
by
the
amount
of
dialogue
that
I
hear
you.
You
can't
fix
a
problem
until
you
find
a
problem.
We've
definitely
found
this
problem,
and
I
am
happy
that
we
have
so
many
people
truly
sincerely
interested
in
working
on
it.
But
I
to
your
point,
I
think
education
is
always
one
productive
strategy.
If
we
can
prevent
anybody
from
getting
on
these
medications,
that's
that's
a
win
right.
T
U
T
T
Obtainment
of
prescription
medications,
some
of
these
black-market
medications.
Fentanyl,
is
something
of
a
lot
of
concern
in
people's
minds.
A
lot
of
it
comes
in
very
small
quantity
shipments
from
China
right
now
and
so
I've
been
privileged
to
take
part
in
some
very
upper
level
discussions
in
DC,
with
with
our
Border
Patrol
Service
and
even
despite
some
amazingly
high-tech
ways
to
try
to
catch
these
shipments.
You
know
folks
always
have
some
kind
of
way
of
seeming
to
stay
ahead
of
the
curve.
T
If
you
will
unfortunately,
and
a
lot
of
this
comes
in
very
small
quantities,
now
one
of
the
things
that
we
have
in
Oklahoma,
which
has
really
made
an
improvement
in
the
number
of
opioid
prescriptions
that
are
being
written
by
physicians
and
advanced
practice
providers
is
a
mandatory
prescription
monitoring
system
that
that
is
run
by
the
Oklahoma
Bureau
of
Narcotics
and
dangerous
drugs.
It's
PMP
program,
so
for
any
physician,
advanced
practice
provider
that
is
about
to
write
a
prescription
for
an
opioid
course
of
therapy
by
law.
T
They
have
to
check
that
database
to
see
if
the
patient
has
obtained
a
prescription
somewhere
else,
and
we
do
this.
Not
only
is
it
the
law,
it's
a
good
idea,
and-
and
we
do
this
routinely
of
course,
then
in
the
emergency
department
setting
to
nobody's
surprise.
We
also
routinely
find
people
that
that
come
in
and
they
say,
they've
had
an
injury
or
they're
suffering
from
chronic
pain.
They're.
T
You
know
visiting
the
area
or
or
they're
just
between
physicians,
whatever
the
case
may
be,
and
yet
we
find
they've
just
had
a
prescription
filled
in
the
last
24
to
48
hours,
and
that
you
know
gives
us
an
opportunity
for
a
little
bit
of
an
interesting
dialogue
and
letting
them
know
that
we're
not
able
to.
Then
you
know,
prescribe
any
further
opioids
that
particular
day.
The
effect
of
that
program
has
certainly
been
driving
the
number
of
prescriptions
down.
We
are
seeing
a
little
bit
of
a
move
back
to
some
of
the
street.
T
Drugs
such
as
heroin
people
aren't
able
to
get
the
pills
that
they
once
did,
and
so
that
brings
a
whole
new
concern
because
of
some
of
the
infectious
disease
that
can
occur
with
shared
needle
use
and
and
issues
like
that.
So
it's
it's
a
moving
target,
but
it's
one
that
I
do
think
that
we
are
keeping
abreast
of
and
and
really
honestly
trying
to
find
some
answers
for.
So
there's.
U
T
Absolutely
it's
III
will
say
it's
a
little
sobering
as
a
physician.
If
you
go
online
and
pull
up
some
of
the
bulletin
board
chatter,
if
you
will
the
degree
of
chemical
sophistication
that
some
of
these
people
are
speaking
about
on
the
Internet,
absolutely
rivals
some
of
the
most
erudite
discussion
in
medical
schools.
Today
it
is
it's
kind
of
scary,
with
some
of
the
chemical
knowledge,
that's
out
there
on
the
street,
and
so
one
of
one
of
the
flags
we
always
have
in
the
emergency.
T
Setting
and
I'm
sure
our
colleagues
in
other
specialties
do
too
is
if
patients
are
asking
for
certain
opioids
by
brand
name.
Only
brand
name
drugs
can
be
sold
on
the
street
for
higher
than
generics,
and
so
that's
always
a
little
bit
of
a
tip-off.
Why
someone
would
need
the
brand
name
versus
you
know
the
the
effective
chemical
itself
I
see.
Thank
you.
D
I
have
a
question
for
you,
as
it
relates
to
particularly
the
database
is:
is
there
a
gap
in
particularly
like
the
norm?
Large
pharmaceuticals
prescription?
You
know
the
larger
ones
over
and
opposed
to
family
drug
stores
who
actually
check
the
database.
Is
there
a
gap
in
really
the
performance
and
following
through
making
sure
that
the
database
is
actually
checked,
and
sometimes
you
know
because
of
the
larger
you
know,
box
stores
that
they
don't
actually
do
what
the
diligence
that
they
should
do
in
actually
check.
Checking
the
database
right.
T
T
Most
of
the
phone
calls
I
get
back
to
the
emergency
department
are
from
a
very
well-known
retail
pharmacy
or
retailer
that
operates
a
pharmacy
service
line
in
their
store
as
well.
That
are
saying,
hey,
we're
concerned,
because
we
see
this
prescription.
We
we
think
you
probably
checked
the
database,
but
just
to
double-check
we're
finding.
You
know
another
prescription
here
that
you
may
or
may
not
have
seen.
Is
it
okay
to
go
ahead
and
fill
that
prescription?
T
Sometimes
it's
a
private,
family-run
pharmacy
that
calls
more
often
I
think
it's
just
statistically
because
of
where
the
prescriptions
are
getting
filled.
It's
it's!
The
better
known
retail
pharmacies,
I
think
everybody
is
trying
to
work
with
due
diligence
on
this
or
is
there
ever
a
time
where
something
slips
through
the
crack?
Probably
just
because
humans
are
humans.
T
I
can
tell
you
that
our
u.s.,
reps
and
senators
are
very
well
aware
of
these
issues.
One
of
the
real
champions
we
have
in
Oklahoma
is
in
Oklahoma
District
to
mark
Wayne
Moen
the
east
side
of
the
state,
and
he
is
really
championing
a
national
prescription
monitoring
program
database
they're
also,
unfortunately,
was
a
bit
of
an
exclusion
for
prescriptions
that
were
written
within
the
VA
healthcare
system
that
they
were
not
a
part
of
these
prescription
monitoring
databases.
T
So
if
a
veteran
had
obtained
some
pain
medication
at
a
VA
clinic
or
hospital,
we
would
not
see
that
in
the
civilian
database
that
has
since
been
fixed
and
and
I
think
that
is
obviously
very
important.
We
don't
want
anybody
hooked
on
these
medications,
particularly
our
veterans
that
have
served
the
country
so
well.
One.
L
Final
question
on
this
topic
and
then
the
the
question
that
we're
gonna
address
later,
that
that
hundreds
of
municipalities
are
considering
in
this
multi
district
lawsuit
is
whether
the
manufacturers
were
had
a
role
in
this,
and
particularly
one
of
the
main
targets
of
the
lawsuit
in
Clete
in
Ohio
is
Purdue
pharmaceuticals
in
oxycontin,
so
I'm
wondering
a.
How
much
are
you
you
know
hearing
people
ask
for
oxycontin
and
B.
L
Was
there
a
role
in
the
company
promoting
it
as
giving
12
hours
of
sustained
relief
when
in
reality
they
started
to
learn
that
it
wore
off
faster?
So
patients
would
be
in
withdrawal.
So
then
they
would
try
and
find
ways
to
get
more.
You'd
have
ever
escalating
doses,
and
maybe
that's
what
created
the
part
of
the
epidemic
and
then
once
they
can't
get
the
pills
like
you
alluded
to.
They
start
turning
to
things
like
heroin,
yeah.
T
T
You
know
as
to
the
exact
mechanisms
of
deliberations
within
Purdue
I
would
certainly
have
to
plead
ignorance
of
that
I
have
read
several
articles
about
Purdue
I
have
no
doubt
that
you
know
in
any
form
of
business.
Profit
can
be
a
bit
enticing,
but
I
think
you
know
when
you're
looking
at
profit
in
the
medical
realm
I
just
you
know,
certainly
feel
a
tremendous
amount
of
ethical
responsibility.
T
Nobody
begrudge
is
somebody
making
some
legitimate
profit
in
the
service
to
others,
but
not
at
the
cost
of
selling
your
soul,
or
you
know
compromising
ethics,
so
I
think
sometimes
in
our
system
today.
The
only
way
that
you
can
ever
really
get
the
full
answers,
or
at
least
close
to
it,
is
through
litigation,
and
so
I
certainly
understand
why
those
kind
of
actions
are
afoot
and
I.
Just
I
hope
that
we
are
pressing
the
hill
so
to
speak
and
are
going
to
see
some
continued
improvements
in
this.
T
L
T
A
And
pleasure
to
be
with
you
well
we're
on
this
item,
I
think
we
might
as
well
go
ahead
and
wrap
it
up.
Is
there
any
motion
on
item
9
M?
This
is
the
budget
for
the
medical
control
board.
We
had
a
motion
motion
in
a
second
all
right.
Any
further
discussion
on
item
9
am
seeing
none
cast
your
votes
passes
unanimously,
we'll
now
go
back
to
item
9a.
A
M
J
David
box
522
Colcord
Drive
here
with
me,
is
Scott
Loper,
who
is
the
developer
and
property
owner?
This
is
an
action
in
which
we
are
seeking
to
rezone
these
two
Lots
to
an
SPD
to
allow
some
higher
density
development.
This
is
area
that
falls
under
the
urban
medium
classification,
the
comp
plan.
It
was
recommended
unanimously
by
Planning
Commission.
After
playing
Commission,
we
did
have
the
opportunity
to
sit
down
with
Councilwoman
Sawyer,
my
client,
as
well
as
one
of
the
neighbors,
who
has
expressed
some
concern
from
that
meeting.
J
What
we
decided
to
do
was
reduce
some
of
the
density,
so
we
went
from
12
total
units
to
ten.
One
of
the
main
concerns
from
the
neighborhood
was
the
setbacks.
The
gate
would
UCD,
has
very
specific
setbacks
being
20
feet
so
by
taking
out
one
unit
per
building,
we
were
then
able
to
adhere
to
that
20
foot
setback.
The
sput
has
been
amended
accordingly
and
resubmitted
to
staff.
J
Perhaps
we
need
to
have
an
amendment
to
that
on
the
floor
too,
to
reflect
the
20
foot
setback,
the
reduction
to
10
units
and
then
the
addition
of
the
requirement
to
go
back
to
Planning
Commission
for
what's
called
a
specific
plan
application.
The
specific
plan
application
will
allow
the
Planning
Commission
in
the
neighbors
the
opportunity
to
ensure
that
what
we
have
proposed.
Two
building
permits
is
consistent
and
compatible
with
not
only
the
comprehensive
plan,
but
more
specifically
that
negotiated
s
PUD.
So
with
that
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
David.
M
M
We
had
a
constructive
meeting,
I
think
and
the
two
very
important
things
that
David
referenced.
That
I
would
like
to
make
sure
we
do
get
in
the
record
is
a
reduction
in
the
density
from
six
units
to
five
units
per
lot
and
the
agreement
to
adhere
to
the
20-foot
setback.
That
was
really
important,
I
think
for
the
compatibility
issues
in
the
neighborhood,
and
the
third
piece
is
the
importance
of
this
specific
plan
review.
There
are
still
a
couple
of
issues.
M
You
know
that
I
think
the
neighborhood
has
one
of
them
is
that,
as
there
was
not
any
street
parking
allowed,
the
parking
is
on
the
ground
level
in
garages,
and
so
it
causes
a
deactivation.
If
you
will
of
things
on
the
street
level,
so
anything
we
can
do
Scott
to
talk
about.
You
know
front
porches
and
Stu.
M
U
J
Not
this
application,
the
SPD
would
be
approved.
There
is
a
new
function
within
the
code
called
a
specific
plan
application,
and
so
what
it
would
be
is
a
separate
application
made
through
development
services
at
such
time
that
we're
ready
for
building
permits,
there's
a
provision
in
chapter
59
that
requires
us
to
go
through
puds
and
spuds
prior
to
the
issuance
of
the
building
permit
to
get
approval
of
the
specific
plan
that
only
goes
to
Planning
Commission
doesn't
come
back.
Here
is
separate,
apart
from
the
ordinance
that
you'd
be
approving
here,.
M
M
It
also
faces
onto
black
builder
and
I
drove
it
30
times,
and
there
are
you
know
the
sides
of
houses
that
face
onto
Blackwelder.
There
are
garages
that
face
on
the
black
builder
with
small
windows.
It's
not
totally
compatible
with
area
and
I
think
the
setback
issue
you
know
was
really
important
to
the
neighbors
to
preserve
the
20
foot
that
is
in
the
overlay
for
Gatewood.
Thank
you,
so
I
think
I
need
to
move
the
amendments
first
to
include
the
reduction
in
density,
the
adherence
to
the
setback
very.
A
A
I
V
Sir,
this
is
actually
our
second
location.
It's
a
Borden
brush
Borden
brush
is
a
woodworking
site
that
you
can
come
to
and
you
can
make
wooden
science
during
a
three-hour
period.
We
kind
of
train
you
during
the
three-hour
period
how
to
make
a
wooden
sign.
We
give
you
a
specialized
stencil.
What's
your
last
name
on
it
and
during
the
sign,
it's
like
a
paint
and
sip
workshop
since
it's
a
paint
and
sip
workshop.
V
That's
why
they're
asking
for
this
specialized
I
think
so
they
can
do
the
wine
at
the
same
time
that
they're
there
making
the
wooden
sign
you
get
to
pick
your
colors!
You
get
to
pick
your
stains.
You
get
to
make
your
entire
sign
just
like
personalized
for
your
home.
It's
a
little
bit
nicer
than
the
the
painted
thing
that
you
do,
because
some
of
us
aren't
very
artistic,
so
they
don't
come
out
very
well.
V
So
I've
had
a
lot
of
garage
use
of
people
that
make
like
the
painted
thing
things
of
the
painting
suits
and
they
end
up
in
the
garage.
But
these
these
will
actually
go
in
your
home
and
be
a
nice
and
whenever
they
come
out
and
just
I
have
a
perfect
look
to
them
and
just
with
your
colors.
So
this
is
something
that
or
it's
our
second
location.
We
have
one
Oklahoma
City
and
this
one
would
be
for
the
UConn
Mustang
Bethany
area
and
people
from
Hal
Reno,
so
they
could
enjoy
it
there
also.
I
V
I
H
A
J
David
box
522
Colcord
Drive.
This
is
a
it's
an
odd
spud
and
that
this
has
been
residential.
Then
it
went
to
office
commercial.
What
my
client
found
was
that
there
was
no
market
for
a
one-off,
commercial
or
office
that
wasn't
on
a
hard
corner.
My
client
owns
and
developed
the
the
neighborhood
immediately
to
the
east
prior
to
filing
this
application.
My
client,
which
is
landmark
fine
homes,
held
a
neighborhood
meeting,
alerted
everybody
within
the
neighborhood.
What
they
were
seeking
to
do.
They
got
no
reservations
or
concerns
for
me,
the
neighbors
and
we
filed
our
application.
J
J
I
A
Right,
we've
got
a
motion
in
a
second
any
discussion
or
questions
for
the
applicant.
Seeing
none
cast
your
votes
passes
unanimously.
You
all
right
item
9b
one.
This
is
an
amendment
to
the
master
design
statement
to
include
a
15-foot
landscaped
buffer
along
the
east
property
line,
etc,
etc,
and
then
also,
this
will
also
be
relevant
to
item
9b,
an
ordinance
on
final
hearing
that
was
recommended
for
approval
at
2650,
Shull
Avenue,
rezoning
from
i1
light
industrial
to
PUD,
1682,
councilman
Cooper,
who
knows
a
little
bit
about
planning
by
the
way?
D
A
J
Once
again,
David
box
522
Colcord
Drive.
This
is
an
application
to
allow
the
sale
of
trailers.
This
is
zoned
I.
Once
of
what
we
did
is
we
maintain
the
Iowan
base.
We
simply
work
with
staff,
adding
the
uses
necessary
for
this
specific
use.
There
was
some
question
about
a
blue
line.
Our
engineers
are
working
with
the
Corps
of
Engineers,
as
well
as
a
city
on
maintaining
the
integrity
of
that
blue
line.
There
is
significant
tree
coverage
on
the
eastern
side
of
the
site
that
we
will
maintain.
J
That's
why
you
saw
the
amendment
for
the
landscape
buffer.
It
is
unique
that
dr.
Cooper
got
to
vote
on
this
as
a
member
of
the
Planning
Commission
and
now
just
vote
on
it
as
a
member
of
the
City
Council.
So
there
was
no
protest
at
the
Planning
Commission
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
additional
questions.
The
council
may
have.
D
A
We've
got
a
motion
in
a
second
seeing
no
discussion,
we'll
cast
our
votes
passes
unanimously.
Thank
you.
Congratulations,
dr.
Cooper

we're

There's
something
I'm
trying

Basically
ask
your
permission
to
do
that
and.

you,

item
9a
ordinance
on

This
is
at
1339
North
West,
first
Street
rezoning
from
i1
to
s
PUD
10:40,
Councilwoman
Salyer.
This
was
by
the
way
recommended
for
denial
at
Planning,
Commission,
correct.
M
X
Thank
you.
Yes,
my
name
is
Charles
Allen
I'm
with
Allen
engineering,
16:01,
Southwest,
89th
degree,
walter
de
león's
here
also
his
mother
and
uncles
on
the
property
they
purchased
the
property
five
years
ago.
One
of
the
conditions
was
that
it
be
rezone
so
that
they
can
continue
truck
using
it
for
truck
storage,
which
is
their
family.
Business
they've
got
a
yard
to
the
north
of
this.
On
1st
Street,
just
kind
of
an
overflow
parking
area
mat
with
a
Sahai
highsmith
at
the
site
tried
to
negotiate
some
improvements
that
included
some
landscaping
on
North
West.
X
First
Street
in
McKinley
also
included
new
sidewalks
psych
proof
fencing,
however
Planning
Commission
kind
of
sees.
This
is
a
transitional
area,
probably
two
presidential
and
so
forth,
but
I
I'm,
not
sure
that's
I
mean
that's
not
that
they'll
de
león's
desire
for
the
property.
Obviously
so
with
that,
we're
here
to
ask
that
be
reconsidered
and
improved
for
for
the
spud,
if
not,
that
the
Leon's
are
gonna,
have
to
look
for
some
other
property
and
move
move
from
this
properties.
It
takes
some
time,
I,
probably
stood
vacant
until
somebody
else
comes
in
it
develops
as.
M
You
said
mr.
Allen,
this
is
a
neighborhood
that
is
an
extreme
transition,
there's
sort
of
been
unofficially
designated
as
the
Iron
Works
district,
and
it
is
residential
in
most
of
its
character
around
this
site
and
I
believe
that
we're
here
to
make
this
zoning
change
in
response
to
a
citation,
correct,
and
so,
in
this
particular
case,
I
certainly
agree
with
staff
and
with
the
Planning
Department
that
this
is
an
inappropriate
use
of
that
corner
and
I
would
make
a
motion
that
we
deny
this
application.
Councilwoman.
Y
Z
This
is
an
area
where,
when
new
business
has
come,
this
is
one
of
the
few
areas.
That's
an
opportunity
for
tremendous
growth
west
of
downtown
one
of
the
things
that
would
devastate
that
and
would
also
devastate
other
things,
is
having
this
become
a
site
or
an
area
in
which
things
just
aren't
taken.
Care
of
these
are
photos
taken
this
past
Friday
at
this
site
you
can
see
trash
stacked
up,
you
can
see,
tires
tires
or
tires.
Z
These
tires
hold
water,
that
water
is
a
wonderful
breeding
ground
for
mosquitoes,
and
it's
interesting
on
a
day
when
we're
talking
about
this
being
Parks
and
Recreation
month
that
we've
got
children
in
the
community
after-school
program
at
pilot
park.
Expanding
this
site
would
put
those
kids
further
at
risk.
I
would
strongly
suggest
that
you
follow
the
lead
of
the
Planning
Commission
and
decline.
M
Is
a
neighborhood
that
we've
talked
about
a
lot?
We've
got
some
complicated
issues.
The
old
Robertson
steel
plant
is
over
there,
but
there's
great
activity
going
on.
There's
talk
about
kind
of
a
or
installation
fabric,
obscure,
I,
think
factory
obscure
going
in
over
there
in
being
in
this
location,
just
west
of
downtown
there's
a
tremendous
housing
stock
of
small,
affordable
housing
that
makes
this
a
really
attractive
mixed
use,
neighborhood,
opportunity
and
I
just
think
it
would
be
a
mistake
to
allow
this
on
that
corner.
It.

is

so
in

I
would
ask
if
there
is
anyone
here
to

on

would
open
it

If

AA
You
Mary
I
just
wanted
to
recognize
Donna
Cervantes
out
of
the
crowd.
She
does
so
much
work
down
here
in
the
Capitol
Hill
area.
It's
pretty
amazing,
but
this
area
is
just
continuing
to
to
grow
and
reinvent
itself
and
thrive
and
I'm
really
excited
that
we're
continuing
on
this
path
for
it.
So
with
that
I'd
move
for
approval,
we've.

a
agenda
item
number.
A
It
is
known
as
extra
item
and
it
is
a
resolution
authorizing
the
municipal
councillor
to
file
a
lawsuit
in
Oklahoma
County,
District
Court,
requesting
injunctive
relief
to
require
the
property
owner
to
remove
excessive
accumulation
of
trash
from
properties
at
2436,
North,
West,
42nd
Street
in
2440,
Northwest,
42nd
Street,
and
to
prohibit
further
excessive
accumulation
of
trash
on
the
properties.
This
is
in
word,
but
I,
don't
know
if
councilman
Shadid
is
the
right
person
to
kind
of
brief
us
a
little
bit
on
this
or
somebody
else.
Well,.
L
O
L
A
A
N
Tom
Levicy
I
live
at
2505
North
West,
42nd,
Street
and
I
was
here
at
the
last
council
meeting
with
a
couple
of
our
neighbors
from
war.
I
want
to
thank
the
council
for
taking
such
proactive
action
with
us.
We
did
see
a
lot
of
activity
and
compliments
to
mr.
Locke
and
his
folks
in
the
abatement
that
has
taken
place
since
the
last
council
meeting
I'm
told
that
over
five
or
I
guess
five,
forty
yard
roll-off
boxes
were
taken
from
these.
N
These
subject
properties,
but
I
can
report
a
neighbor
called
me
last
night
and
I
think
the
code
enforcement
personnel
can
report
just
the
same
that
we're
seeing
the
same
behaviors
again
and
seeing
rheic
you
Malaysian
so
with
that
on
behalf
of
my
neighborhood
I
would
request
that
the
council
approved
both
resolutions
and
help
improve
our
neighborhood
with
that.
Thank
you.
Okay.
A
AB
No,
when
we
were
out
there,
he
was
already
out
so
I
mean
he
was
out
the
next
day
and
when
we
were
still
cleaning,
but
they
were,
but
he
was
back,
but
he
didn't
make
a
comment
to
us
about
it.
He
was
actually
the
second
day
was
very
fairly
congenial
with
its.
He
was
actually
throwing
stuff
into
the
40
yard
dumpsters,
along
with
the
contractor.
AB
M
A
Well,
we've
got
a
motion
in
a
second
on
extra
item.
One
is
there
any
further
discussion
seeing
none
we'll
cast
our
vote
passes
unit
passes
unanimously
and
then
we've
got
extra
item.
Two
resolution
authorizing
the
municipal
councillor
to
file
an
injunction
I'm,
sorry
to
file
an
action
in
oklahoma,
county
district
court
to
foreclose
the
liens
against
the
properties
at
2436,
northwest
42nd
Street
in
2440,
Northwest,
42nd
Street
in
the
owner
of
the
properties
for
costs
related
to
removal.
Excessive
accumulation
of
trash
by
the
city,
councilman
Shadid
for
approval
got
a
motion
in
a
second.
A
Is
there
any
further
discussion
seeing
none
cast
your
votes
passes
unanimously.
Okay,
now
we
will
move
on
to
item
11
items
from
Council
and
in
this
instance,
before
I
go
around
the
horseshoe
for
comments.
We
actually
have
some
business
to
dispose
of,
so
we
might
start
there
and
I
think
it
would
be
most
appropriate
for
the
chairman
of
the
Judiciary
Committee
councilman
Stonecipher,
maybe
to
walk
us
through
this.
Thank.
S
You
your
honor,
I,
appreciate
it.
The
these
items
deal
with
the
appointment
of
judges,
the
appointment
of
a
vice
presiding
judge
and
the
establishing
of
compensation
for
our
judges
and
but
I'd
like
to
say,
especially
as
to
judge
Austin,
who
is
going
to
be
our
vice
presiding
judge
and
has
been
and
judge
kiffin.
They
do
a
wonderful
job
and
we
have
a
really
good
team
of
judges
over
at
the
courthouse
that
are
working
hard
to
lower
the
rate
of
people
going
to
jail
when
they
just
can't
afford
to
pay.
I.
S
A
We've
got
a
motion
in
a
second
on
item
11a.
That's
the
resolution
of
plain
in
fred
austin.
As
municipal
judge,
any
discussion
seeing
none
cast
your
votes
passes
unanimously.
A
motion
on
item
11
B.
This
is
resolution
appointing
Donald
Kiffin,
as
municipal
judge,
the
emotion
in
a
second
any
discussion.
Caster
votes
passes
unanimously.
A
11
C
resolution
designating
imprint
Austin,
as
vice
president
vice
presiding
judge,
got
a
motion
in
a
second
any
discussion.
Seeing
none
cast
your
votes,
passes
unanimously
item
11
D
resolution,
establishing
compensation
and
benefits
for
the
positions
of
municipal
judge,
presiding
judge
and
vice
presiding
judge,
effective
July
1st
got
a
motion
in
a
second
any
discussion.
Seeing
none
cast
your
votes
passes
unanimously.
A
L
Have
a
request:
I
would
be
very,
very
grateful
if
I
just
have
an
interest.
The
the
part,
the
sale
of
our
parking
garages
specifically
Santa
Fe
I,
know
that
if
there's
been
previous
reports
that
were
negotiating
with
Continental
Resources
and
Harold
Hamm
about
the
sale,
our
sole
or
complete
sale,
we've
sold
a
lot
of
parking
garages
to
large
corporations
that
then
take
it
out
of
the
pool
for
the
public
to
use.
L
We
sold
City
Center
East
to
Devon,
we
sold
Center
City
West
mark
beffort,
we
sold
Broadway
Kerr
to
Sand
Ridge
and
they
said
I
think
that
one's
quite
empty
at
this
time,
but
I
would
just
hope
that
if
we
reach
an
agreement
with
an
entity
which
some
would
would
characterize
this
heavy-handed
or
bullying
or
there
are
other
adjectives
that
might
be
chosen.
But
if
we
could,
if
we
could
put
that
deal
out
to
the
public
and
let
everybody
kind
of
digest
it
for
a
while.
L
L
U
Q
I
The
process
of
vetting
our
new
councilman
and
my
wife
and
I
thought
maybe
we'll
drive
by
and
see
how
he
keeps
maintains
his
church
property,
and
we
did
that
on
a
Sunday
afternoon.
There
was
nobody
on
the
property,
but
us
and
I've
just
got
to
say
what
an
example
of
light
shining
in
darkness.
Your
campus
is
over
there
and
we
were
really
impressed
and
what
we're
excited
to
have
you
on
honors
councilman.
Thank
you.
I.
AA
Yesterday,
I
had
the
opportunity
with
the
Family
Justice
Center,
to
attend
Camp,
Hope
and
I've
got
to
tell
you
a
Camp.
Hope
is
a
camp
for
kids
that
have
really
faced
a
lot
of
trauma
in
their
life,
been
through
things
that
no
kid
should
ever
have
to
go
through
in
this
camp
buts.
These
kids
together
we're
you
know
they
all
have
similar
stories
and
I
would
just
implore
any
of
you
when
the
opportunity
arises
to
go
to
this
camp.
It's
it's
just
fantastic.
AA
What
they're
able
to
do
with
these
kids-
and
hopefully
you
know,
potentially
break
some
of
these
cycles
hearing
some
of
these
kids
stories
is
heartbreaking,
but
it's
also
it's
very
enriching
when
you
see
that
what
they're
able
to
overcome
and
what
this
camp
is
able
to
help
them
do
so
again,
if
any
of
y'all
have
the
opportunity
to
go
there,
it's
certainly
important
to
do
it.
I
think
it
would
be
well
worth
your
while
and
also
I
just
I
wanted
to
say
again:
congratulations,
councilman,
Cooper,
Thank.
U
First
of
all,
Your
Honor
I
want
to
compliment
you
on
the
tempo
of
today
demonstrated
the
great
experience
in
such
a
short
period
of
time.
So
thank
you
and
thank
you,
and
we
appreciate
that
and
then
pastor
Cooper
you
have.
We
can
combine,
have
taken
a
great
step
to
restore
credibility
with
your
willingness
to
serve
on
the
council
representing
Ward,
7
and
I
personally
want
to
thank
you
for
that
willingness
and
look
forward
to
working
with
you
and
so
I'll
leave
it
at
that.
Thank
you.
I
would.
D
Mayor,
first
of
all,
we're
excited
about
what's
happening
in
our
city.
On
this
week
we
have
the
National
Baptist
Convention
USA,
some
25,000
people
have
descended
upon
Oklahoma
City.
It
gives
to
us
really
a
great
opportunity
to
let
our
light
shine
as
a
city.
People
have
come
from
all
over
the
United,
States
and
Bahamas,
and
so
we
need
to
put
our
best
foot
forward
and
thank
you
so
much
for
your
leadership
as
well
and
getting
that
done
and
then
one
final
thing
is
that
today
is
June
19th.
D
It
is
a
special
time
in
our
nation's
history.
This
is
in
fact
Juneteenth,
which
is
for
some
who
may
not
know.
Emancipation
Proclamation
was
signed
on
January
1
1865
by
President
Lincoln,
that
news
didn't
get
to
Texas
until
general
Granger
showed
up
at
Galveston
Texas
to
announce
that
the
Emancipation
Proclamation
had
been
signed.
Today,
slaves
were
free
and,
ironically,
on
this
day,
it's
one
in
two
City
Council
and
so
I.
Consider
it
a
great
honor
and
a
privilege
to
be
able
to
serve.
Thank.
A
A
And
I'll
just
yeah
echo
everybody's
words
of
welcome
to
councilman
Cooper,
and
we
know
we
had
some
some
well
qualified
applicants
for
this
appointment,
but
it
was
just
far
and
away
the
positivity
for
you
from
from
people.
I
spoke
to
in
Ward,
seven
was
it
was
just
Universal,
it
wouldn't
made
it
very,
very
easy
and
we
were
grateful
for
your
willingness
to
serve,
and
this
is
a
nice
smooth
transition
and
we're
we're
very
pleased
that
you'll
be
able
to
so
Abele
represent
your
constituents
during
this
time.
So
thank
you.
A
O
AC
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
having
me
good
morning.
Well,
I
just
wanted
to
share
a
lot
of
things
that
have
been
happening
at
the
gardens
since
I've,
been
here
a
year
ago
and,
first
and
foremost,
we
first
and
foremost,
we
are
a
botanical
garden,
which
is
basically
an
open
space
with
labeled
plants
that
has
educational
opportunities
to
learn
about
plants
and
gardens.
So
that's
our
number
one
mission,
but
we
really
are
here
to
be
a
beautiful
green
spot
for
Oklahoma
City,
a
beautiful
garden,
a
place
to
relax,
enjoy,
learn
and
have
fun.
AC
So
that
is
our
number
one
job
to
have
a
beautiful,
safe,
clean,
green
space
for
the
city.
I'll.
Take
you
through
a
quick
year
in
the
life
of
the
gardens
of
different
things
that
we've
done
and
new
developments
that
we've
completed
this
year.
So
we
always
have
a
sense
of
continuous
improvement
at
the
gardens.
This
is
our
holiday
lights.
Every
year
we
try
to
do
something
different
and
new
for
the
community
to
enjoy
the
holidays,
lots
of
events
around
the
holidays,
the
ice
rink
we
had
our
best
year.
Yet.
AC
Last
year
we
had
a
little
over
36,000
skaters,
and
this
brings
in
significant
revenues
to
the
gardens.
Almost
a
hundred
and
thirty
thousand
dollars
towards
our
operating
budget-
and
this
really
gets
more
and
more
popular
every
year
is
a
great
place
for
the
community
to
make
memories
enjoy
the
holidays.
We
do,
we
can't
expand
the
rink,
but
we
try
to
do
other
improvements
at
this
point.
These
are
skating
aids,
which
have
been
really
popular.
We
rent
them
out
for
an
additional
fee
and
young
kids
and
adults
can
learn
to
skate
using
them.
AC
We
also
have
been
doing
curling
which
who
knew
in
Oklahoma
City.
There
is
a
huge
demand
for
this.
They
all
sell
out
every
program,
so
we're
trying
to
use
the
rink
in
different
ways
to
offer
new
things
and
new
healthy
activities,
Martin
Luther,
King
Day.
We
celebrate
that
and
have
great
programs
for
the
communities
and
performances.
This
year
we
reached
out
to
the
Asian
district
and
it
was
the
year
of
the
dog
for
their
new
year
celebration,
and
so
we
had
hundreds
of
people
at
the
gardens
with
authentic
dancers,
and
it
was
really
terrific.
AC
So
we
hope
to
continue
that
each
year
with
the
Asian
district,
we
do
a
orchid
show
in
the
spring.
I
wish
more
people.
We
have
good
crowds
for
this,
but
I
wish
more.
People
would
discover
this,
because
we
have
a
really
terrific
orchid
expert
on
staff
and
he
puts
together
an
exquisite
show,
and
it
really
is
a
jewel
for
the
city
to
discover
in
the
spring
st.
Patrick's
Day.
We
have
to
celebrate
that
with
the
community.
AC
Our
bulbs
show
really
has
become
a
big
event
in
the
spring.
We
are
working
on
a
large
and
grant
to
expand
our
bulb
endowment
and
I.
Can't
tell
you,
the
joy
and
thrill
that
this
gives
people
and
we
get
thousands
of
people
now
coming
just
to
walk
through
the
gardens
enjoy
it.
It's
it's
a
very
intoxicating
atmosphere.
In
the
spring,
with
these
bulbs
blooming
and
all
the
color,
we
do
Easter
egg
hunts
very
popular
for
kids.
AC
We've
started
to
have
events
for
kids
who
have
different
disabilities
or
sensory
sensitive
issues,
and
those
have
proven
to
be
very
popular
as
well.
Our
dog
Easter
egg
hunt
is
is
fun,
educational
programs.
We
offer
once
once
a
year
this
wonderful
symposium,
where
we
bring
in
nationally
renowned
speakers
paired
with
local
experts,
and
this
year
we
had
an
event
that
talked
about
how
we
can
plan
gardens
that
nurture
nature
and
ourselves
and
to
be
very
sensitive
about
how
we
care
for
gardens
in
green
space,
so
wildlife
can
thrive
in
them.
AC
We
did
a
ok
seed,
starting
exhibit
in
our
lobby,
which
attracted
lots
and
lots
of
people
lots
of
schoolchildren,
so
they
learned
how
to
start
seeds
and
grow
seeds
successfully,
especially
healthy
crops,
edible
crops.
This
is
our
second
year
we've
we've
started
the
OKC
garden
fest
in
early
May,
and
this
has
been
our.
We
had
thousands
of
people
out
for
this,
so
lots
of
vendors
selling
plants
and
gardening
equipment
programs
about
how
to
garden
successfully
food
trucks.
So
it
really
has
become
a
nice
festival.
AC
We
have
to
earn
money
for
the
gardens
because
we're
a
public-private
partnership,
as
you
know,
so
we're
always
trying
to
grow
our
revenues
so
on
the
years
that
we
don't
do
our
splendour
in
the
gardens
event.
We
started
this
event
where
we've
brought
in
a
top
top
arranger.
We
have
a
luncheon
and
sponsors
and
ticket
sales
and
we
were
happy
to
give
scholarships
to
local
students
who
are
studying
floral
design.
AC
This
is
a
new
garden,
we're
actually
dedicating
tomorrow
and
Richard
and
Glennon
Glenna
Tannenbaum
have
sponsored
this
and
it
took
a
sight
which
was
really
unused.
We
had
some
scraggly
plants
that
weren't
doing
well
and
we
didn't
have
that
whole
space
open.
It
was
just
some
Ben
along
the
perimeter
of
the
sidewalk
in
the
foreground,
so
the
thanh
and
bombs
and
some
other
donors
gave
us
the
money
to
create
this
beautiful,
new,
shade
garden
and
we're
calling
it
the
reflection
garden,
and
it's
really
been
fantastic.
We
started
building
it
last
year.
AC
We
finished
it
in
the
spring
and
already
people
are
using
it
all
the
time
for
lunches
and
just
as
another,
shady
spot
at
the
garden.
There's
a
beautiful
water
feature,
and
it's
really
lovely,
and
when
we
build
this
garden,
it's
not
only
for
just
our
general
visitors
to
enjoy,
but
we
design
them.
So
we
can
rent
them
spaces
for
small
rental
events,
so
it
adds
a
little
more
revenue
that
we
can
make
for
the
gardens.
AC
So
if
you
haven't
seen
that
walk
over,
it's
really
beautiful,
we've
added
new
interpretive
elements
to
our
outdoor
gardens
and
we'll
be
adding
more
of
these
every
year.
Our
head
of
horticulture
writes
these
and
produces
these
and
they're
really
terrific
and
we'll
be
placing
those
all
throughout
the
gardens,
but
we
have
a
lot
right
now
in
our
prairie
garden.
That's
long
Reno!
AC
Just
a
couple
months
ago
we
got
a
gift
from
a
local
group
of
retired
AT&T
workers
and
they
gave
us
$85,000,
so
we
could
purchase
a
new
play
equipment
which
will
be
able
to
be
used
by
special
needs
children.
We
didn't
have
that
before
so
kids
who
were
in
wheelchairs
or
who
couldn't
walk
well
or
support
themselves
sitting
up.
We
now
have
three
really
fun
pieces
of
equipment.
This
swing.
We
have
this
teeter-totter
feature
and
there's
a
merry-go-round
especially
made
so
kids
can
be
wheeled
right
onto
it.
AC
So
we're
really
thrilled
to
offer
this
to
people
and
the
fun
thing
about
this
is
that
adults
use
it
too.
So
adults
can
be
right
in
there
with
their
children
having
fun
and
we're
really
grateful
that
the
community
now
is
coming
to
us
and
saying
what
do
you
need?
What
could
we
do
for
you
to
keep
keep
the
gardens
always
improving.
This
is
a
big
fundraiser
that
we
do
every
other
year.
AC
We
also
do
public
rentals.
This
is
the
Goodwill
Games
that
was
there
last
year,
so
we
are
always
happy
to
talk
to
people
if
they
want
to
bring
an
event
or
festival
or
something
at
the
gardens.
Pitchfork
in
the
park
is
our
seasonal.
Cafe
they
opened
last
year,
they're
back
again,
they're
doing
very
well.
AC
They
cannot
make
enough
popsicles
to
keep
up
with
the
demand
so
they're
a
terrific
place
to
enjoy
a
something
like
this
or
or
a
meal
at
the
gardens
dancing
in
the
gardens
has
returned,
and
this
event
is
just
one
of
the
the
happiest
most
joyful
events
in
the
city.
We
have
literally
several
thousand
people
a
night
who
enjoy
these.
We
do
these
once
a
month
in
the
summer.
This
is
our
salsa
event.
We
had
Indian
dancing
just
last
month.
We
have
hip-hop
coming
up,
we
did
this
last
year
and
it
is.
AC
It
is
one
of
the
best
places
where
the
whole
community
mixes
and
has
fun
and
dances
together,
and
it's
it's
it's
great.
It's
on
the
seasonal
plaza
of
pitchfork
in
the
park
and
just
check
our
schedule.
One
is
coming
up
pretty
soon.
We
just
finished
our
bringing
a
book
to
life
Spring
Festival
this.
We
get
lots
and
lots
of
new
members
of
this.
We
get
some
income
and
we
bring
a
book
to
life
and
we
encourage
kids
to
read
over
the
summer.
AC
So
we
had
about
9,000
people
over
a
10-day
period
in
this
Monday
is
coming
up.
This
has
been
really
popular.
We
encourage
kids
to
have
fun
and
play
in
the
mud,
and
last
year
and
I
think
they're.
Coming
back
this
year,
the
fire
department
came
out
with
overhead
hoses
to
hose
the
kids
down
F.
They
got
dirty,
so
that's
been
kind
of
fun.
We,
as
I,
said
we're
always
trying
to
improve
things,
keep
things
looking
as
beautiful
and
well-kept
as
possible.
AC
So
we
are
in
the
process
of
upgrading
the
surfacing
below
our
popular
Thunder,
fountain
kids
use
for
a
lot
of
our
events
and
programs.
We
use
volunteers
to
get
things
done
and
our
volunteen
program
has
been
growing.
We
have
Shakespeare
in
the
Park
and
our
summer
movie
nights
are
starting
tomorrow
night
for
the
summer,
so
they
bring
out
thousands
of
people
every
night
on
Wednesdays
in
the
summer
to
enjoy
a
movie
on
the
Great
Lawn.
Okay,
the
Twilight
concerts,
which
the
Arts
Council
puts
on
on
Sunday
nights.
AC
Those
are
going
through
the
end
of
August
every
Sunday
at
7:30
on
the
Great
Lawn,
and
we
put
on
the
mirrored
gardens
a
signature
concert
every
year
and
last
year
we
were
really
thrilled
to
bring
in
Dom
Clemens.
He
is
a
internationally
renowned,
Americana
artist
and
he
specializes
in
African
American
cowboy
music,
and
he
was
terrific.
AC
He
was,
he
is
associated
with
the
Smithsonian
and
a
scholar
with
them,
and
we
brought
him
in
last
year
and
he
was
just
fantastic
and
this
year
we're
bringing
in
an
Oklahoma
talent,
Parker
Millsap
for
a
September
concert,
so
these
are
free
and
open
to
the
public
thanks
to
corporate
support
to
offer
them
our
Fall
Festival,
which
has
gained
thousands
and
thousands
of
visitors
every
year.
It
makes
a
lot
of
money
for
the
gardens
and
it
really
is
a
wonderful
event
for
kids
and
families.
We,
this
was
a
new
program
last
year.
AC
We're
going
to
repeat
this
and
grow
this
in
November
we
worked
with
Cox
Communications
and
it
was
called
tree
for
all
and
we
had
1,200
trees
that
we
bought
from
nurseries
at
a
very
low
price.
We
gave
away
several
hundred
free
trees
and
then
the
rest.
We
sold
at
a
very
low
price,
five
and
ten
dollars
for
these
really
great
selection
of
trees.
That
will
thrive
in
Oklahoma
and
it
was
really
wonderful
to
see
people
leaving
with
trees
that
we
knew
would
go
out
and
green
city.
So
we
want
to
do
this
again.
AC
We'd
like
to
hold
a
satellite
giveaway,
perhaps
in
Capitol
Hill
area,
this
fall,
but
it
was
really
great
to
see
all
these
trees
going
out,
helping
to
Greene
Oklahoma.
So
we'd
like
to
continue
this
every
year
and
help
bring
the
city
and
encourage
tree
planting
in
our
last
fiscal
year.
In
that
entire
year
we
served
through
all
the
various
programs
and
I
just
showed
you
just
a
slice
of
what
we
do.
AC
We
do
a
lot
of
other
things
throughout
the
year,
but
from
what
we
can
actually
count
and
what
we
estimate
from
all
of
our
events
or
public
rentals,
private
visitors
to
the
Crystal
Bridge.
We
have
almost
250,000
people
who
take
part
in
some
kind
of
program
and
that
doesn't
include
the
casual
visitor.
So
we
do
serve
a
lot
of
people
throughout
the
year,
as
you've
probably
heard
will
be
the
site
of
sixth,
seventh
and
eighth
grade
John
Rick's
school
expansions,
starting
in
July.
They
are
actively
at
work
right
now
and
I'll.
Just
show
you
this.
AC
The
the
green
colored
area
is
our
lower
level
in
the
Crystal
Bridge,
which
we
we
did
use.
We
do
use
for
some
programs.
We
rented
it
for
wedding
receptions
and
things
like
that,
but
it
was
somewhat
underused,
and
so,
when
dr.
Pierce
came
to
me
and
wondered
if
we'd
be
open
to
having
that
as
a
school,
we
thought
about
it
and
we
said
yes,
we
thought
it
would.
It
would
kind
of
serve
a
higher
and
better
use
for
the
school
to
use
it.
AC
It
would
give
us
an
amazing
opportunity
to
work
with
the
kids
throughout
the
year
and
expose
them
to
plants
and
gardening.
They
can
plant
bulbs
in
the
fall.
They
can
plant
seeds
in
the
spring
and
just
have
this
beautiful
atmosphere
to
go
to
school
in
and
the
learning
model
that
they're
using
that
this
type
of
open
space
works
very
well
for
that.
So
as
we
speak,
there
are
contractors
there
now
making
adjustments
to
it.
So
it's
safe,
it
has
the
proper
security
and
it
will
also
work
well
for
a
school
site.
AC
This
is
a
hallway
that
they'll
be
using
into
the
space.
This
is
one
of
the
classrooms
but
they'll
be
using.
This
is
our
water
stage
room,
so
the
kids,
the
teachers
will
be
moving
in
in
mid-july
and
then
I
think
it's
the
first
week
of
August.
The
kids
will
be
there,
so
that's
going
to
be
really
fun
to
incorporate
them
into
your
gardens.
AC
In
addition
to
that
lower
work,
we
got
major
gifts
from
the
in
as
much
foundation
to
help
fund
that
lower
work,
as
well
as
add
a
new
classroom
on
our
upper
level
in
our
lobby
space,
because
we'll
be
losing
that
for
our
programs
that
we
do
and
we
also
got
a
large
gift
from
Devon
energy.
So
we
could
renovate
our
South
Lobby
and
add
a
new
classroom,
so
we'll
be
doing
that
in
a
couple
of
weeks.
AC
The
South
Lobby
will
be
closed
until
probably
about
Thanksgiving,
and
when
it's
finished
we'll
have
a
beautiful
new
South
Lobby.
It
will
be
a
much
better
venue
for
as
a
visitor
center.
We
can
rent
it
more.
It
can
serve
as
a
lecture
hall.
For
us
it
will
be
really
upgraded
gallery
space.
We
have
art,
shows
there
all
the
time
and
I
think
it
will
be
another
really
wonderful
space
that
the
city
can
use
that
people
can
use
as
a
venue,
and
it
will
work
much
better
as
a
visitor
center
as
well.
AC
So
those
are
some
renderings
of
what
that
will
look
like
this.
Is
the
new
classroom
we'll
be
building,
and
then
we
do
have
plans
down
the
road
to
renovate
the
rest
of
the
crystal
bridge.
So
all
of
the
interior
spaces
can
be
upgraded
like
the
outdoor
space
was
almost
eight
years
ago
and
I'll
just
conclude,
with
some
of
our
financials
I'm
happy
to
say
we're
doing
very
well.
Our
annual
budget
for
all
the
all
of
our
expenses
is
about
4.2
million
we're
a
little
under
expenses
so
far,
which
is
good,
and
just
so
you
know.
AC
The
Oklahoma
City
gives
us
about
1.8
million
dollars
a
year
as
a
management
fees,
so
for
us
to
manage
the
gardens
and
that
number
has
been
going
steadily
down
since
the
foundation
took
over
operations
in
2012.
We
earn
through
all
of
the
various
programs
and
events
and
things
that
we
do
a
little
over.
AC
1.3
million
in
earned
revenue
and
then,
through
our
fundraising,
we
raise
over
million
dollars,
I'm
happy
to
say,
with
our
festival
that
just
concluded
in
some
other
gifts,
we
will
exceed
our
fundraising
goal
for
this
year,
so
we
expect
to
end
this
current
fiscal
year
with
a
with
a
very
modest
surplus.
So
we're
we're
doing
well
in
our
agreement
with
the
city
to
increase.
Our
share
of
the
budget
in
the
city's
share
has
been
steadily
reduced
over
the
past
few
years.
AC
S
Just
wanted
to
know
in
December,
I
took
up
the
curling
workshop,
I
signed
up
for
it
and
not
only
was
I
horrible,
but
I
was
also
sore
the
very
sore
the
next
day.
It's
very
difficult
and
the
reason
the
reason
I
bring
that
up
is
I,
wanted
to
compliment
you
on
the
great
creativity
exhibited
in
the
programs
there's.
So
many
different
programs
and
I
want
to
thank
you
and
your
staff
for
providing
all
those
different
options.
I
had
so
much
fun,
I'm
going
back
next,
ok,
Thank,
You,
Maureen,.
M
I
really
would
like
to
compliment
the
staff
as
well
I've,
seen
chucks
with
you,
your
CFO.
If
they
do
such
a
great
job,
we
need
the
Pooh
was
just
knocked
it
out
of
the
park.
So
many
kids
enjoying
it
and
splendor
in
the
gardens
was
a
beautiful
event,
and
it
is
everything
you
take
on
is
done
really
well
and
I
know
you
use
a
lot
of
volunteers,
but
it
takes
great
staff
to
manage
all
that
staff.
AC
L
AC
Are
about
one
year
away
from
the
contractors
being
completed
and
we
the
the
scissortail
Park
Foundation,
will
be
officially
taking
on
the
management
operations
when
the
contractors
are
officially
gone
and
completed
so
we'll
be
taking
that
on.
If
they're
on
schedule
from
what
what
I'm
hearing
they
should
be
done
in
early
June.
So.
AC
Actually
they're
they're
separate
I
mean
there's
obviously
relationships,
but
we
will
be
a
separate,
501,
c3
organization.
What
we've
created
is
a
parks
management
company,
which
is
also
a
nonprofit
which
is
kind
of
the
umbrella
group
that
manages
Myriad,
Gardens
and
scissortail
Park,
so
there'll
be
separate
budgets,
separate
operations
so
about.
L
AC
I
would
think
that
it's
going
to
be
very
similar
to
married
Gardens
I
would
think
it
would
be
a
little
under
4
million
a
year.
Something
like
that.
It
kind
of
depends
on
the
number
of
programs
that
we
do
and
things
like
that,
but
I
think
the
the
operating
budget,
I
would
say
would
be
close
to
about
4
million
and
then
like
Myriad
Gardens.
We
will
be
growing
that
earned
revenue
part
and
the
fundraising
part
of
it.
AC
AC
It's
hard
to
say
right
now,
but
I
would
like
to
think
that
that
number
wouldn't
substantially
increase
from
that.
If
we're
able
to
be
successful
in
all
the
earned
revenue
operations
which
we
have
there,
which
will
be
I,
think
significant
between
rentals
and
the
boathouse
and
the
cafe
and
programs
that
will
do
and
concerts
and
festivals
and
at
that
scale,
which
is
a
larger
scale,
I
would
think
that
we
could
make
a
real
dent
in
what
the
city
is
funding
that
every
year
your.
L
L
AC
It's
there
is,
there
is
a
finite
pool
of
donors
and
in
corporations.
So
in
some
ways
it
competes
with
that
and
yet
I
think
there
is
a
lot
of
excitement
and
goodwill
for
that
project
that
people
want
to
be
associated
with
it
and
so
I
I,
don't
think,
there's
going
to
be
I,
think
people
are
going
to
contribute
to
both
and
I
think
we're
going
to
find
new
donors
and
new
companies
and
new
opportunities
of
scissortail,
because
we'll
have
an
we'll
have
another
fundraising
staff
for
that.
So
they'll
be
out
fundraising
as
well.
AC
L
N
O
Also
have
the
sales
tax
collections
report
for
June
June
is
the
final
month
of
our
fiscal
year.
If
you
take
a
look
at
the
total
collections,
they
June
was
a
good
month.
If
you
take
a
look
at
the
final
projections,
store
revenues
to
date
versus
projections
were
up.
3.6
percent,
that's
adjusted
with
the
new
sales
tax.
So
that's
pretty
strong.
O
If
you
remember
Russell
Evans
at
the
budget
workshop,
he
said
that
in
the
second
quarter
of
of
18
or
the
fourth
quarter
of
our
fiscal
year
same
core,
there
would
there
would
be
a
pretty
good
recovery
and
he,
as
he
generally
does,
he
pretty
well
nailed
it.
So
it's
it's
good
progress
for
us.
It's
a
little
pleased
with
the
numbers
geomod.
U
So
I
think
that
speaks
very
well
for
the
city
of
Oklahoma,
City
and
and
I'm
optimistic
that
our
revenue
growth
will
continue
to
be
strong,
going
forward
and
there's
no
way
but
it'll
continue
to
help
with
these
additions,
such
as
the
Amazon
Fulfillment
Center,
the
business
up
there
on
North,
Broadway,
Meg
and
other
economic
opportunities.
I
think
the
future
is
very
bright
for
the
city
of
Oklahoma
State.
Thank
you.
I.
M
M
L
People
go
into
the
VA
every
single
day.
It
is
thousands
and
thousands
of
people
and
I
just
wonder
if
we
can
start
to
I
know
we
have
the
announcement
of
an
innovation
district
new
head,
wonder
if
we
can
kind
of
think
about
in
the
years
ahead,
strategically
locating
retail,
where
all
these
thousands
and
thousands
of
people
are
coming
in
every
day
for
their
health
care
and
then
priority
number
one
would
be
the
Health
Science
Center,
because
so
many
people
from
outside
of
Oklahoma's
they're
coming
there
every
single
day,
just
a
thought.
Edie.
U
You
know
that's
an
interesting
point,
not
just
for
medical
care,
it's
hard
for
us
who
grew
up
and
lived
in
Oklahoma
City,
all
of
our
lives
to
think
of
it
as
such
an
attractive
place,
but
my
wife
grew
up
in
Lynwood,
Oklahoma
and
Oklahoma.
City
is
kind
of
a
big
deal
in
you
know
the
further
out
you
get
in
the
smaller
of
the
community
that
you
live
in.
It's
it's
a
big
deal
and
shopping
is
still
very
important
to
individuals
to
come
to
Oklahoma
City
for
shopping
purposes.
Right
anyway.
A
Other
comments
on
the
sales
and
use
tax
collections
report,
okay
and
then
item
12c
can
be
found
online
under
the
packet.
If
you'd
like
to
look
at
the
claims
and
payroll
anything
else,
mr.
Koch
citizens
to
be
heard,
we've
had
no
one
sign
up.
Is
there
anyone
who
wishes
to
speak,
seeing
none?
We
have
executive
sessions
already
for
item
9s,

We
will
now
go
proceed
with
that
and
we
will
return.
