The regular meeting of the Oklahoma City City Council for
Tuesday, March 26, 2019.
3:33 - Meeting starts
A
Okay,
we're
gonna
get
started
this
morning.
It
is
Women's
History
Month
which
I
have
declared
in
the
city
of
Oklahoma
City,
but
it
is
of
course
the
case
around
the
country
and
around
the
world
and
Councilwoman
Nikki
and
I
suggested
that
we
invite
pastor
Christine
Byrd
in
honor
of
that
to
do
our
invocation
and
so
pastor.
If
you
wouldn't
mind
and
following
that,
Councilwoman
Meg
Salyer
will
lead
us
in
the
Pledge.
B
Good
morning,
if
you
would
bow
in
reverence
for
just
a
few
moments
holy
God,
my
father,
thank
you
for
the
many
blessings
that
you
have
bestowed
upon.
Our
community
I
pray
for
those
who
are
in
office
that
they
govern
this
community
and
they
govern
it
wisely
and
godly
discerning
all
that
is
before
them,
and
thank
you
for
those
that
have
served
that
are
about
to
leave
on
another
journey.
B
But
we
thank
you
for
their
service,
continue
to
bless
and
protect
our
firefighters
and
our
police
officers
and
all
those
who
serve
in
many
ways
and
many
avenues
and
many
areas.
We
thank
you
for
them
and,
as
we
gather
together
this
day,
we
praise
you
for
this
day
and
your
purpose
reset
our
agenda,
that
it
is
your
agenda
and
that
reflect
your
wheel
for
Oklahoma
City
and
that
we
continue
to
have
a
respect
of
people
regardless
of
their
gender.
B
Their
faith
and
their
race
shift
our
perspectives
to
seek
peace
above
all
things
and
let
your
peace
rain
down
and
continue
to
rain
down
on
Oklahoma
City.
Thank
you
for
a
mayor
in
our
City
Council.
Thank
you
for
them,
God
their
wisdom
and
enlarge
their
territory.
We
thank
you
for
this
day,
for
this
day
was
not
promised,
but
we
thank
you
for
allowing
us
to
wake
up
and
Jesus
name
Amen.
A
All
right,
I
call
this
meeting
of
the
City
Council
to
order
which
we
will
begin
with
items
from
the
office
of
the
mayor.
We
have
several
I
will
note
that
we're
gonna
bookend
our
meeting
today
with
honor
honoring
of
our
departing
council
members,
so
dr.
Shadid,
will
will
handle
his
resolution
at
the
end
of
the
meeting
near
the
end
of
the
meeting
under
items
from
council.
But
we
will
begin
right
up
with
Councilwoman
Salyer.
So
as
I
make
my
way
to
the
front,
I
think
I'll
ask
her
to
to
join
me.
A
Well,
we
will
remember
that
at
the
last
meeting
you
chose
your
second-to-last
meeting
to
honor
some
of
the
people.
Who've
inspired
you
in
your
public
service,
but
today
we
celebrate
you
and
a
lot
of
people
are
here,
including
I,
think
all
those
people
you
honored
last
week.
It
was
really
the
least
they
could
do
well.
I
think
we
know
a
lot
about
you
Meg,
but
nevertheless
we're
going
to
review
a
little
bit.
This
is
your
life,
and
so
we
are
going
to
we're
gonna
we're
gonna
ask
the
clerk
to
read
a
resolution,
whereas.

C
Three,
where,
as
Councilwoman
Sayer
has
been
an
inspiration
to
all
women,
not
only
in
the
community
but
in
City
Hall,
for
her
ability
to
perform
her
duties
as
president
of
Xcel
financial
staffing,
a
mother
to
Margaret
and
her
generosity
to
the
community

commitment

Now,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
by
the
mayor
and
council
of
the
city
of
Oklahoma
City
that
they
do
hereby.
A
D
E
Miss
Meg,
it
has
been
an
honor
to
know
you
at
least
for
the
last
few
months
sitting
here
with
you,
and
it
meant
a
lot
when
I
was
running
and
you
reached
out
to
me.
You
said
I
just
want
to
know
who
you
are
and
to
have
someone
reach
out
that
had
no
clue
who
you
were
you,
you
weren't
even
a
voter
in
my
ward,
but
you
still
wanted
to
know
who
I
was.
That
meant
something
to
me
and
I
appreciate
you
for
that.
Also
commend
you
for
enjoying
Justin
Timberlake
with
us.
D
E
Shaking
it
and
enjoying
that,
but
also
one
of
the
things
that
I
will
take
away,
is
the
fact
that
all
three
of
us
when
we're
here
we
dialogue
together,
but
at
the
same
time
there
was
something
that
was
going
on
within
your
ward
and
you
helped.
You
discussed
it
with
me
and
I
told
you
what
I
thought
it
and
you
said,
honey
vote.
Your
conscience
and
I
appreciate
you
for
that.
Thank
you.
So
much
and
I
admire
you
as
a
young
lady
in
this
feat
and
I.
Thank
you
for
all
of
your
service.
F
Meg,
thank
you
for
all
of
your
service.
You
probably
have
the
most
difficult
Ward
to
serve.
You've
got
residential
areas
that
spanned
from
some
challenging
neighborhoods
to
some
very
affluent
neighborhoods
and,
at
the
same
time,
you've
got
basically
all
of
the
central
business
district
to
work
with
so
I
admire.
You
and
I
appreciate
all
you've
done
and
I've
learned
so
much
from
your
efforts
here
on
the
council
and
we'll
certainly
miss
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
G
Well,
bag
I
want
to
say
to
you
that
I
really
appreciate
all
the
years
that
we've
been
able
to
work
together
and
I've.
Just
admired
you
and
watched
your
leadership
and
you're
just
such
a
catalyst
that
that,
when
we're
working
through
a
problem
where
we're
trying
to
work
through
and
get
something
resolved,
you're
such
a
catalyst
to
progress
and
just
so
grateful
and
how
you've
done
that
and
what
was
read
in
the
resolution
is
such
a
testament
to
your
success
and
your
leadership
in
the
organization.
We're
gonna
really
miss
you
around
here.
H
I
Councilwoman,
thank
you
for
your
service
to
our
city
and
thank
you
personally
for
helping
me
to
maybe
better
understand.
Some
of
these
deals
that
we
go
through
up
here.
You've
been
a
great
sounding
board
for
me
to
be
able
to
come
to
and
ask
questions
and
and
hopefully
have
a
better
understanding
of
what
it
is
that
we're
trying
to
accomplish.
J
It's
been
a
privilege
to
serve
with
you
Megan
to
learn
from
you.
Your
service
on
the
city
is
exemplary.
Wish
you
the
best
as
you
go
forward
and
a
lot
of
people
don't
realize
that
you
had
to
reach
across
the
Hudson
River
to
embrace
a
New
Jersey
guy,
you
being
from
New
York,
and
you
did
that
with
dignity
and
honor
I
appreciate
it.
God
bless.
K
Also
if
I
was
on
this
council
and
everyone
in
this
horseshoe
was
was
a
woman
except
me
with
the
city.
Clerk
I'd
feel
uncomfortable
and
I
know
that
maybe
in
the
last
couple
of
years
it's
more
in
vogue
for
women
to
run
for
office,
but
it
certainly
wasn't
what
you
did
when
you
stepped
out
and
you've
you've
paved
the
way
for
so
many
others
and
and
you've
changed
things
in
that
regard.
Very
grateful
for
that.
L
Meg
I've
really
enjoyed
getting
to
know
you
the
last
six
years,
some
of
your
character
traits
that
I
appreciate
the
most
are
is
your:
is
your
humility,
humility,
your
positive
attitude,
even
when
there
isn't
a
lot
of
positive
things
going
on
the
fact
that
you
are
continually
focused
on
compromising
and
trying
to
bring
everybody
to
the
table
and
make
everybody
happy
it's
a
trait
that
I
don't
have,
and
so
I
really
really
appreciate,
seeing
it
from
you
and
I
think.
Most
importantly,
I
think
you
represented
your
constituents.
Well,
so
thank
you
for
your
service.
A
Councilwoman,
it's
hard
not
to
be
struck
when
we
read
that
resolution
with
just
the
sheer
volume
of
things
that
you
were
engaged
in,
I
mean
it
truly.
It
is
so
true
that
people
like
you
just
make
the
world
go
round.
You
know
we
could
not
have
accomplished
all
that
we
have
in
this
city
without
I
should
say
people
like
you,
but
more
specifically,
you
you
played
such
a
key
role
in
so
many
things
that
happened
in
our
city.
A
It's
worth
noting
that
with
your
departure,
we're
now
down
to
one
councilmember
who
was
in
elected
office
at
the
time
of
the
passage
of
maps
three.
So
if
it's
not
quite
the
end
of
an
era,
it's
it's
getting
near
the
end
of
an
era,
and
that
is
a
generation
of
leaders
in
our
city
who
were
here
for
so
many
important
things,
really
the
full
blossoming
of
our
city's
Renaissance.
So
I
think
we
all
owe
you
a
debt
of
gratitude,
and
the
least
we
can
do
is
past
this
resolution.
A
We
also
it's
somewhat
traditional
I
mean
we
have
nothing
better
to
do
with
it,
so
we
give
it
to
the
person
we
give
you
your
name
plate.
You
actually
have
to
I'm
sure
we'll
give
you
the
other
one
as
well,
but
this
was
the
one
you
used
during
those
periods,
probably
more
than
one.
When
you
served
you
served
as
the
vice
mayor
and
in
fact
you
were
my
first
vice
mayor.
So
thank
you
for
all
your
service
and
we
would
love
to
hear
a
few
words
from
you
in.
M
A
few
it
will
be
because
I'm
not
sure
I
can
get
a
single
one
out.
A
couple
of
things
to
my
colleagues
on
the
council.
Thank
you.
So
very
much
I
hope
you
can
all
see
why
this
last
11
years
of
service
has
been
so
meaningful
to
have
the
opportunity
to
serve
with
colleagues
that
care
so
much
about
what
happens
in
this
city
has
been
an
honor
and
a
privilege
before
I
forget
and
if
I
tried
to
thank
everybody
that
I
need
to
thank,
we
would
be
having
peanuts
for
lunch.
M
That's
what
happens
when
we
run
late,
but
there
are
four
people
that
I
specifically
want
to
thank
one
Megan
law.
Would
you
please
stand
up?
Megan
was
my
finance
manager,
she's
Francis,
filed
all
those
reports
that
we
have
to
file
on
a
regular
basis?
She
really
has
been
my
partner
in
crime
in
this
effort
and
Megan
I
couldn't
have
done
it
without
you
and
appreciate
it
so
much
second
person
yeah,
please
give
her
a
round
of
applause.
M
The
second
person
that
needs
no
introduction
to
anybody
in
this
room
is
Debbie.
Martin
and
Debbie.
I'm
not
gonna,
be
able
to
say
anything
for
fear
of
not
being
able
to
finish,
but
I
hope.
You
know
how
important
your
being
with
me
on
this
journey
has
been.
We
started
it
together.
Debbie
and
I
have
been
friends
for
a
lot
longer
than
I've
served
on
this
council
and
it
was
with
her
guidance
and
support
that
we
were
able
to
accomplish
as
many
of
the
things
as
we
were
so
know
how
much
I
love
you
Debbie.
M
Thank
you
very
much
and
Randy
and
Boyd
wave
your
hands.
Thank
you
guys,
I,
don't
know
what
I'm
gonna
do.
I
was
just
thinking
how
clear
my
inbox
is
going
to
be
not
gonna,
be
getting
all
these
emails,
but
you
guys,
you
know,
or
the
support
behind
what
we
all
do
and
your
contact
with
citizens
and
the
way
you're
able
to
help
is
so
important.
And,
lastly,
to
pick
two
groups,
there
are
so
many
of
the
city's
incredible
employees.
We
have
almost
4,800
employees
today.
M
M
You
really
clearly
care
about
what
you
do
and
recognize
how
important
it
is
to
be
a
representative
of
the
city
and
then
all
my
friends
that
have
had
to
listen
and
guide,
and
you
know
allow
me
a
few
minutes
to
probably
have
made
some
peace.
So
I
appreciate
you
all
being
here
more
than
I
can
say
this
has
been
the
greatest
honor
of
my
life.
It
was
completely
unexpected
chief
I'm,
looking
at
you
over
here.
Thank
you
for
everything.
M
This
was
not
part
of
a
journey
that
I
had
planned,
but
it
is
an
incredible
one
and
I
would
encourage
anybody
that
ever
thinks
about
serving
your
city
to
do
so,
in
whatever
capacity
you
can,
it
is
incredibly
rewarding
and
you
will,
as
in
most
things,
you'll
receive
back
much
more
than
you
give
so
I
think
that's
it.
Thank
you.

2019
is
an
effort
to
clean
up
area,
neighborhoods
parks,
streets
and
businesses
to
help
beautify
Oklahoma
City,
whereas
neighborhood
Civic,
Church
and
business
groups
can
register
their
teams
to
pick
up
litter
on
a
date
they
choose,
whereas
each
team
will
receive
a
packet
with
free
trash
bags,
gloves
and
tips
for
a
safe
and
successful
cleanup.
Last
year
over
10,000
volunteers
participated
in
the
community
cleanup
and
over
170
1,000
pounds
of
trash
was
collected
from

up.
O
There
will
provide
you
trash
bags
and
gloves
and
guidance
if
you
don't
know
where
to
go,
but
if
you've
noticed
a
a
street
or
a
median
or
a
fence
line
or
a
park
near
your
neighborhood
or
church
or
place
of
work.
That
needs
a
little
love.
We're
we're

supports
families
need
within
their
communities.
Now,
therefore,
David
Holt,
the
mayor
of
the
city
of
Oklahoma
City,
does
hereby
proclaim
the
month
of
April
as
Child
Abuse
Prevention
Month
in
Oklahoma
City,
and
encourages
all
citizens
to
recognize
that
prevention
starts
with
each
of
us.
Thank.
P
April
is
Child,
Abuse,
Prevention
Month,
and
it's
a
opportunity
for
all
of
us
to
realize
that,
just
as
there
are
a
number
of
us
up
here,
it
takes
everyone
and
it's
everyone's
responsibility
to
keep
our
children
safe
so
that
they
can
all
grow
up
in
loving,
safe
and
nurturing
homes
and
grow
into
productive
adults,
because
they
are
our
future
and
I.
Just
want
to
mention
that
I
have
up.
P
Here
are
our
immediate
past
president
and
founding
board
member,
a
parent
promise
interim
commissioner
of
health
Tom
Bates,
and
it
has
been
a
breath
of
fresh
air
that
we've
been
able
to
foster
a
much
closer
partnership
with
the
Health
Department.
Since
he's
been
here
and
Beth
mark
works
with
him
there
and
our
program
manager,
Shana
Norman,
and
we
have
one
of
our
exchange
club
members
here.
Adam,
Bush
and
I
just
want
to
recognize.

All
right
we're
still
on
offices
of
Mayor
as
previously
stated
item

will
be
handled
later

So
that
brings
us
to
item
C
notification
of
Larry
McAtee
to
serve
as
vice
mayor
for
the
six-month
period
beginning
on
April
9th.
They
entertain
a
beam
of
motion
for
that
I.
Guess:
okay,
all
right!
It's
not
official!
Until
we
vote
any

see
none

A
Q
Hello
good
morning,
I
am
the
senior
specialist
of
the
welcome
s,
Oklahoma
City
event,
and
this
is
our
32nd
year.
I.
Believe
that
we're
be
doing
this
walk
in
the
Oklahoma
City
area.
It
is
a
event,
a
one-mile
in
a
three-mile
walk
to
raise
funds
and
awareness
for
multiple
sclerosis
which
affects
about
200
people
diagnosed
every
week
and
that
we're
learning
it
the
disease
that
the
immune
system
attacks
the
covering
of
the
nerves
and
affects
people
in
multiple
ways.
Our
walk
this
year
is
taking
place.
This
Saturday
March
30th
at
the
route
66
park.
Q
The
site
will
open
at
8:30.
In
the
walk
start
time
will
be
10:00
a.m.
and
we've
been
working
with
the
parks
department,
as
well
as
the
police
department,
to
make
sure
that
we
have
enough
staff
and
all
the
proper
materials
in
order
to
make
sure
that
this
event
is
not
only
brings
awareness
but
is
safe
and
family-friendly
for
all
those
attending.
Q
L
It
looks
like
a
good
event
and
it's
a
great
example
of
why
the
Overholser
trail
needs
to
be
finished
on
the
west
side
of
overall,
sir,
because
the
run
is
gonna
be
on
the
street
right,
yes,
yeah,
and
so
if
the
there
was
a
trail
over
there,
we
could
be
off
of
the
street.
But
there
got
just
a
little
bored,
one
plug
I'll.
A
S
And
we're
we're
very
excited
to
be
presenting
once
again
exactly
one
month
from
today.
It
will
open
hard
to
believe
perfect
spring
morning
today.
I
hope.
It's
just
exactly
like
this
on
opening
day
brought
you
some
posters
for
City,
Hall
and
also
they're,
passing
out
the
invitation
to
the
officials
luncheon,
which
happens
on
opening
day.
We
would
love
for
you
all
to
attend,
actually
I've
invited
the
whole
council
to
be
on
stage
where
this
mayor
whole
will
be
one
of
our
presenters.
That
day.
Thank
you
for
that,
sir.
S
It's
it's
just
an
amazing
event.
We
have
a
hundred
and
forty-four
artists
and
thirty
food
vendors.
It's
really
the
only
place
in
town
that
you
can
get
a
stir,
fried
rice
bowl
served
inside
of
a
pineapple,
so
there's
quite
a
few
really
interesting
taste
treats
to
be
enjoyed
as
well
as
wonderful
art,
and
we
just
couldn't
do
it
without
the
incredible
support
of
the
city
of
Oklahoma
City
in
literally
practically
every
department.
It's
involved
in
some
capacity
and
I
echo.
S
What
meg
was
saying
about
just
what
I
know
what
an
honor
it
is
to
work
with
so
many
great
city
employees,
because
they're
really
there
for
us
and
before
the
event
and
during
the
event,
through
all
sorts
of
difficult
times
and
wonderful
times,
they've
they've
just
been
a
beacon
of
support
throughout
the
years.
I
can't
I
really
can't
say
enough
about
that.
It's
just
incredible
all
the
different
departments
and
how
much
they
helped
to
make
the
event
a
success.
That's
all
I
have
for
you.
T
M
Yeah
I
do
just
want
to
encourage
everybody
to
come
down
there.
The
move
two
years
ago
to
Bicentennial
Park
has
been
a
tremendous
success
and
it
is
so
much
there
is
so
much
energy
here
when
we
open
the
front
doors
of
City
Hall
and
have
art
and
food
music
right
on
our
front
doorstep.
So
please,
everybody
come
enjoy
the
food,
buy
some
art
and
take
advantage
of
all
the
hard
work.
The
Arts
Council
you.
S
Know
the
modern
streetcar
is
really
going
to
be
interesting
to
see
how
that
affects
the
event
this
year,
because
as
it
does
its
circuitous
route,
there
are
so
many
parking
lots
along
that
route.
You
can
now
just
park
just
pretty
much
anywhere
downtown
and
jump
on
the
streetcar
and
just
come
right
around.
It
has
a
drop-off
point
right.
A
A
A
U
Yes,
now
I
can
talk
with
downtown
OKC.
This
is
the
seventh
year
that
we're
having
the
Starlight
supper.
This
is
a
five
course
dinner
with
local
chefs
that
benefits
the
downtown
Oklahoma
City
initiatives
which
works
to
fund
public
art
and
placemaking
projects.
These
are
things
like
the
artistic
ventures
out
outside
the
surprise,
rain,
poems
and
underpass
murals
and
much
more.
This
is
going
to
be
on
Thursday
April
11th
at
7
p.m.
we
are
closing
the
street
at
April
on
April
10th
at
7
p.m.
to
midnight
on
the
11.
U
Rococo
is
catering.
We
have
restrooms
inside
leadership
square
and
we'll
have
an
off-duty
police
officer
to
make
sure
that
everything
runs
smoothly.
This
year
we
are
moving
it
from
Bicentennial
Park
to
Park
Avenue
in
between
Robinson
and
Harvey,
and
just
to
make
sure
that
we
know
who
is
supposed
to
be
there.
This
year
will
be
wrist,
banding
or
stamping
hands
for
art
guests
and
should
be
another
great
event
to
support
public
art.
This.
M
M
V
Good
Lord
Megan
what
you've
accomplished?
Thank
you
so
much
and
thank
you
for
finessing
politics,
out
of
politics
and
bringing
us
all
together,
I'm
here,
to
represent
st.
Baldrick's
Oklahoma
City.
This
is
our
17th
year
the
council
has
been
behind
us
each
year
blocking
off
the
street.
We've
raised
over
a
million
and
a
half
dollars
for
pediatric
cancer
research
and
we've
shaved,
1,600
heads
and
all
of
you
guys
are
on
the
chopping
block,
but
no
I
wanted
to
come
and
personally
invite
you
to
come
to
st.
Baldrick's
March
31st
Sunday
at
BZ
DS.
V
My
son
was
diagnosed
with
cancer
when
he
was
8,
he
died
when
he
was
11.
So
this
has
been
my
mission.
St.
Baldrick's
90%
of
the
money
goes
correctly
pediatric
cancer
research.
It's
not
an
organization
that
raises
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
donate
ten
thousand
dollars
and
just
the
legacy
and
and
and
playing
it
forward.
V
I
was
at
a
grocery
store
a
couple
years
ago,
when
I
never
went
to,
and
a
young
girl
came
up
to
me
and
said:
you're
Fletcher's,
mother,
aren't
you
and
I
said
yeah
I
am,
and
she
said
well,
I,
don't
know.
If
you
remember
me,
but
I
wasn't
very
nice
to
Fletcher
in
school
and
I
said:
oh
I,
remember
you
but
I
also,
remember
you
sent
me
a
letter
that
was
so
genuine
and
authentic
and
heartfelt.
V
A
A
Okay,
we
will
now
recess
the
council
meeting
and
convene
as
the
Oklahoma
City
municipal
facilities
Authority,
where
we
have
items
a

of
your
printed
agenda
items.
Seven
a
consent:
docket
I,
know
that
mr.
city
manager
there's
a
presentation
fried
MP.
M
A
M
You
mirror
I
just
wanted
to
recognize
that
this
is
a
resolution
authorizing
negotiation
of
after-school
programming
agreements
with
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club
of
Oklahoma
City,
the
Oklahoma
after-school
Network
and
the
Urban
League
of
Greater
Oklahoma
City,
and
it's
part
of
the
strong
neighborhoods
initiative
out-of-school
time
and
just
want
to
thank
these
organizations
for
providing
outstanding,
after-school
programming
for
our
youth
at
risk.
Alright,.
T
E
W
W
A
difficult
problem
that
Ovid
doesn't
really
have
using
solutions.
So
thank
you
for
the
time
you
put
in
on
that.
There's
gonna
be
a
brief
overview
on
the
continuum
of
care
program.
The
term
continued
of
care
is
a
term
that
HUD
uses
to
basically
describe
your
service
area
for
homeless
services,
Geographic
service
area
and
all
the
services
for
homeless
citizens
within
that
service
area,
regardless
of
their
funding
source.
So
they
can
be
federally
funded,
privately
funded
city
state.
W
It
doesn't
matter,
they're
all
continued,
a
continuing
program
if
they
collaborate
with
the
rest
of
the
continuum
resources
now
that
the
continuum
of
grant,
however,
provides
permanent,
supportive
housing
for
homeless
citizens
and
these
contracts
that
are
on
the
agenda
today
provide
funding
for
nearly
all
the
permanent
supportive
housing
programs
for
homeless
citizens
in
the
city,
except
for
maybe
two
or
three
starting
in
January
of
2018.
All
of
these
programs
have
started
using
our
coordinated
entry
system,
which
we
spent
about
six
years,
developing
with
our
service
providers.
W
W
Basically,
if
an
organization
had
a
housing
unit
available,
but
no
case,
management
and
other
organization
could
provide
case
management
to
get
that
client
housed
right,
then,
which
is
much
faster
than
the
way
things
used
to
work,
and
it's
a
lot
efficient.
All
of
these
programs,
except
for
our
sobriety,
based
programs,
use
a
housing
first
approach.
They
have
since
2013.
If
you're
not
familiar
what
that
means,
it
means
they.
Basically,
they
move
clients
directly
from
the
street
or
shelter
into
housing
without
preconditions,
and
then
they
provide
services
once
they're
in
housing
to
help
keep
them
housed.
W
We
have
about
eighty
to
ninety
percent
retention
rate
with
these
programs,
typically,
which
are
real,
proud
of,
and
not
many
people
can
boast
that
across
the
country
that
attest
to
the
good
work
that
our
service
providers
do
provide.
These
are
all
renewal
projects.
We
do
get
the
chance
to
apply
for
new
funding
which
we
did
this
year.
W
Unfortunately,
it
does
not
look
like
we'll
get
the
new
funding
this
year,
but
in
previous
years
the
past
six
years
were
the
only
continuum
or
at
least
one
of
the
only
continue
of
the
state
to
not
have
any
of
our
funding
or
projects
cut
and
we've
repeatedly
gotten
new
projects,
so
we're
proud
of
that
too.
So,
if
you
have
any
questions,
I'll
be
happy
to
answer
them.
M
Jared
I
just
would
really
like
to
thank
you
for
all
the
hard
work
you
do
so
there's
add
reference.
This
is
a
very
difficult
subject
matter
and
you
dedicate
yourself
every
single
day
to
making
sure
that
people
get
serviced
and
I
do
think.
It's
important
to
note
that
the
dollars
here
are
almost
four
million
dollars
of
pass-through
from
HUD
and
we
regularly
lament
that.
We
don't
have
enough
funding
at
the
city
level
to
make
a
big
impact,
but
we
do
pass
through
a
tremendous
amount
of
funding.
So
thank
you
for
your.
T
W
M
Y
This
is
similar
for
the
projects
that
we've
done
in
the
past,
with
the
myriad
gardens
Foundation
and
the
scissortail
Park
Foundation,
with
our
various
parks
in
the
downtown
Oklahoma
City
the
management
operations
agreement.
This
is
a
post
opening
operations
agreement
back
in
July,
you
approved
a
pre
opening
operations
agreement,
and
this
is
the
post
operating
agreement.
We
had
to
do
this
for
multiple
reasons,
and
one
was
when
the
state
provided
us
the
facility.
Y
They
asked
that
we
do
everything
we
could
to
ensure
that
the
tax-exempt
bonds
that
were
issued
to
support
the
museum
remain
tax-exempt
and
with
the
private
activity
issues
that
you
have
with
tax
exempt
bonds.
We
needed
to
do
some
things
to
the
operating
agreement
and
one
that's
what
we're
doing
here.
Y
The
structure
that
you
see
here
outlines
where
the
Economic
Development
Trust
will
assume
all
will
assume
the
the
risk
in
which
any
profits
or
losses
will
be
borne
by
the
Economic
Development
Trust.
That's
a
requirement
for
the
tax-exempt
bonds.
What
we've
done,
though,
is
we
structured
it
where,
in
the
event
that
they
make
excess
revenues
each
year,
we
will
set
up
a
operating
reserve
and
a
capital
reserve
fund
to
help
with
the
perpetuation
of
the
foundation?
Y
Much
of
the
work
at
the
American
Cultural
Center
has
been
rebid
and
they're,
currently
issuing
work,
orders
and
and
talking
to
Erica
winger
yesterday.
We
believe
that
you'll
start
to
see
more
construction
on
the
exterior
in
the
whole
of
the
people
in
May,
so
I
think
we're
moving
along.
So
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
and
I
would
like
to
thank
Wylie
Williams
for
all
of
his
diligence
on
this
he's
spent
tireless
hours
working
on
this
structure,
along
with
working
with
the
multiple
entities
that
are
working
on
this
new
markets
tax
credit
structure.
A
All
right,
thank
you.
I
think.
That
concludes
the
things
that
we
had
pulled,
that
we
have
a
motion
and
a
second
on
the
consent.
Docket
I
would
also
want
to
note
that
I
believe
you
struck
item
seven
aw
eight,
so
that's
not
subject
to
the
motion
for
approval
any
discussion
seeing
none
cast
your
votes
passes
unanimously.
That
brings
us
to
the
concurrence
docket
item
8a
through
M.
A
We've
got
a
motion
in
a
second.
Is
there
any
discussion,
anything
anybody
wants
to
pull
out
and
talk
about
seeing
none
cast
your
votes
passes
unanimously.
This
brings
us
to
page
17
of
your
printed
agenda
item
nine
items
requiring
separate
votes,
and
we've
got
start
here
with
a
these
are
ordinances
on
final
hearing
that
were
recommended
for
approval
item
9a
one
is
closing
a
portion
of
an
alley
in
block
32
of
Maywood
addition,
councilwoman
Salyer.
Thank.
M
You
Mary
I,
see
that
the
applicant
is
here.
This
is
a
just
a
portion
of
an
alley
over
in
the
Maywood
addition,
as
noted
it's
northeast
of
sixth
Street
and
just
west
of
Oklahoma
Avenue.
This
is
the
purpose
of
this
is
to
consolidate
property
for
additional
development.
It
was
approved
by
the
Planning
Commission.
There
were
no
protests,
I
would
move
approval.
A
Z
Nolan
with
Smith
Roberts
ball,
Wyler,
100,
North,
East,
Fifth,
Street,
Oklahoma,
City
and
I'm
representing
the
applicant
Hobby
Lobby,
they
own
the
property
on
all
sides
of
the
portion,
that's
being
requested
to
be
closed.
They
have
future
plans
to
build
more
transportation
buildings
for
their
trucks.
Long
there's
going
to
be
a
building
along
29th
Street
over
here
on
the
west
side
and
then
a
truck
washing
station
towards
the
south,
so
they
own
the
property
surrounding
this
portion
of
Pilsen
way.
Thank.
J
A
A
A
motion
in
a
second
any
discussion
seeing
none
cast
your
votes
passes
unanimously
9b.
This
is
an
ordinance
on
final
hearing
that
was
recommended
for
approval.
This
is
a
special
permit
to
permit
automotive
sales
in
the
c3
community
commercial
district
at
3121
North.
May
we
may
recall
this
from
a
previous
meeting.
This
was
deferred
from
March,
12th,
councilman
city
and.
K
I
believe
are,
is
the
app
so
everybody's.
Here
we
have
an
agreement
which
I'll
just
summarizes
I
under
standard
part
of
the
the
permit
is
that
the
applicant
will
commit
to
building
a
fence
we've
six
feet,
all
wooden
fence
it'll,
be
on
either
the
location
where
a
previous
fence
was
or
the
neighbor
will
we'll
do.
A
survey
to
delineate
the
exact
property
line,
but
I
the
applicant
commits
to
building
the
fence
at
his
sole
expense.
K
J
AA
They
don't
when
we
put
the
fence,
they
cease.
The
objection
to
where
we
put
in
we
just
give
them
option
that
go
ahead
and
mark.
You
know,
ask
for
surveyor
to
mark
their
location,
but
if
they
don't
want
to
do
that,
that's
$200
cause.
If
they
don't
want
to
go
through
that
I
just
don't
want
them.
Her
hinder
our
work
after
right.
T
Yes,
we
are
we.
There
is
a
previous
the
line
of
a
previous
fence.
The
posts
were
cut
off
flush
with
the
ground,
they're
very
obvious,
and
our
position
is
if
the
fences
is
rebuilt
on
that
same
line.
We're
satisfied
with
that
and
we'll
provide
a
hold
harmless
letter
to
the
applicant
to
satisfy
that
and
therefore
not
have
to
do
another
survey
great.
A
Got
a
motion
in
a
second
any
discussion
seem
none.
Two
votes
passes
unanimously
9c.
This
is
an
ordinance
on
final
hearing.
This
is
the
third
of
three
meetings
where
we
are
considering
this
ordinance
amendment.
This
relates
to
the
definition
of
motorized
scooter.
We
had
a
presentation
at
the
first
meeting,
a
hearing
public
hearing
at
the
second
meeting,
and
today
is
the
potential
final
consideration.
A
M
A
Motion
in
a
second
any
discussion
see
none
cast.
Your
votes
passes
unanimously
item
9
e.
This
is
a
public
hearing
regarding
ordinance
relating
to
the
police
department.
There
was
a
presentation
at
the
last
meeting
by
chief
city.
This
amends
chapter
43
and
it
is
an
opportunity
today
for
anyone
to
speak
if
they
wish
to
on
this
potential
ordinance
change.
Does
anyone
wish
to
speak,
seeing
none
we
will
move
on
and
that
will
be
considered
at
the
next
meeting
for
potential
final
consideration,
and
that
brings
us
to
9f.
A
G
AB
A
good
morning,
mayor
and
council
pleased
to
speak
about
item
9
F
this
morning.
Again.
This
is
a
introduction
for
a
proposed
ordinance
change.
Looking
at
chapters
32
and
chapter
60
and
the
reason
for
the
proposed
ordinance
change
is
really
to
help
us
more
formally
address
and
manage
parklets
in
downtown
Oklahoma,
City
I'm
sure
most
of
you
are
familiar
with
parklets.
We
have
a
parklet
in
downtown
Oklahoma
City
on
Mickey
Mantle,
that's
been
there
for
quite
some
time,
so
I'm
sure
you've
had
an
opportunity
to
see
that.
AB
But
you
know
essentially,
a
parklet
is
an
extension
of
the
sidewalk,
where
public
space
normally
devoted
to
a
location
to
park.
An
automobile
is
actually
transformed
into
again
a
public
space,
or,
in
this
case
a
very
small,
usually
parked
type
setting
where
you'll
have
benches
or
chairs
tables.
It's
basically
a
place
for
people
to
gather
in
the
urban
environment
and
they're
becoming
more
and
more
popular
across
the
country,
I'm
sure,
if
you've
traveled,
you've
seen
them
in
other
cities
as
well.
So
what
we're?
AB
AB
AB
You
know,
while
somebody's
moving
in
and
out
or
maybe
it's
a
construction
project,
but
with
the
parklets
typically
be
90
days
or
more,
in
some
cases
renewed
for
additional
multiple
90
day
periods.
We
are
recommending
a
$10
fee
rather
than
the
20.
We
think
it
is
more
conducive
to
really
the
intent
of
you
know:
promoting
that
public
space,
great.
A
All
right
again,
that
will
be
oh.
We
need
to
actually
have
a
motion,
I'm,
sorry
motion
to
or
yes,
motion
in
a
second
any
discussion,
seeing
none
cast
your
votes
passes
unanimously
and
the
potential
ordinance
change
has
been
introduced
set
for
public
hearing
next
meeting
and
final
hearing
meeting
after
that
items.
9
G,
1,
9
g,
2,
9,
h,
1,
&,
9,
h,
2
are
not
quite
ripe
yet,
and
so
we
will
be
holding
them
we'd
like
to
consider
them
today,
so
we
will
be
holding
them.
I
look
potentially
a
little
later
in
the
meeting.
A
G
A
G
AC
9I
is
actually
a
refunding
or
refinancing
for
our
goal:
bonds,
so
back
in
2007
and
2010
were
the
first
to
issuances
of
gold
bonds
that
we
did
from
the
2007
authorization.
So
I've
been
around
long
enough
for
actually
refinancing
these
ones.
That
I
did
way
back
then
some
of
my
first
bond
deals,
but
we
are
refinancing
about
eighteen
point:
five
million
dollars
worth
of
bonds
between
those
two
issues.
AC
We
estimate
that
the
net
present
value
of
savings
is
going
to
be
about
one
point:
two:
eight
million
dollars
which
represents
about
a
hundred
and
thirty-seven
thousand
dollars
a
year
of
savings
over
the
next
11
years.
We're
planning
on
pricing
those
bonds
on
April
16th,
and
we
would
close
them
on
May
7.
So
this
is
just
purely
being
done
for
interest
savings.
AC
Let
me
hit
the
next
one,
okay,
so
also
on
Jay.
This
is
refunding
the
2009
geo
bonds.
So
similar
thing,
but
the
reason
we're
doing
two
different
ones
is
item
I.
The
gold
bonds
are
taxable
and
they
have
to
be
done
separately
so
item
J
is
tax-exempt
bonds,
we're
refunding
about
just
a
little
bit
under
twenty
five
million
dollars
worth
of
bonds
from
the
2009
bond
issue.
AC
We
estimate
we're
going
to
have
savings
of
just
under
two
point:
five
million
dollars
on
a
net
present
value
basis,
which
would
represent
approximately
two
hundred
and
seventy
five
thousand
dollars
a
year
of
savings.
Those
very
similar
timeline.
We
plan
on
pricing,
those
on
April
the
16th
and
closing
them
on
May
7th.
We
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
AC
A
Thank
you.
So
we
now
will
have
the
public
hearing
for
item
nine
i1.
This
is
regarding
the
refunding
of
certain
outstanding
portions
of
the
city's
general
obligation,
limited
tax
bonds,
taxable
Series
2008,
issued
in
the
original
principal
amount
of
seven
million
dollars,
etc.
Does
anyone
wish
to
speak
on
that
topic?
A
Members
of
the
council
seeing
none?
We
will
enter
time
to
entertain
a
motion,
I
guess
for
the
resolution
for
nine
i2
providing
for
the
sale
and
issuance
of
bonds.
Okay,
we've
got
a
motion
in
a
second
any
discussion.
Seeing
none
cast
your
votes
passes
unanimously
now
9j
1.
This
is
a
public
hearing
regarding
the
refunding
of
certain
outstanding
portions
of
the
city's
general
obligation
bond
series
2009
issued
in
the
original
principal
amount,
a
47
million
four
hundred
and
eighty
five
thousand
dollars
for
interest
cost
savings.
A
Is
there
anyone
who
wishes
to
speak
under
this
public
hearing
portion
for
item
9j
1,
any
members
of
the
council
seeing
none?
We
will
entertain
a
motion
for
9j
to
resolution,
providing
for
the
sale
and
issuance
of
geo
refunding
bonds
got
a
motion
in
a
second
any
discussion.
Seeing
none
cast
your
votes
passes
unanimously
all
right.
This
brings
us
to
page
22
of
your
printed
agenda,
9k
joint
resolution
with
the
Oklahoma
City
Economic,
Development,
Trust,
approving
the
first
National
Center
redevelopment
project,
economic
development,
agreement,
etc
and
I
believe
we
have
presentation.
Yes,.
G
Sir
Brent
Brian
is
gonna,
make
a
presentation
on
this.
Gary
Brooks
will
also
participate
just
to
given
an
update
on
the
building
on
the
first
national
building.
Both
of
these
items
relate
to
the
first
national.
The
first
item
in
item
K
is
the
economic
development
agreement
and
then
item
L
will
authorize
incurrence
of
a
debt
Innes,
so
we're
gonna
go
ahead
and
speak
to
both
of
those
and
then
we'll
take
those
separately.
G
Y
You
today,
this
economic
developer
group
met,
outlines
the
requirements
of
both
the
city,
the
economic
development
trusts
and
developer
for
the
tower
project
on
the
on
the
first
national
building.
What
just
to
remind
you,
this
TIFF
was
created
back
in
February
of
2016
for
the
benefit
of
the
total
development
of
this
project.
The
budget
was
at
forty
million
dollars
of
ad
valorem
and
five
million
dollars
in
sales
tax.
The
project
consists
of
three
components:
a
garage
apartments
and
a
hotel
back
in
2017,
the
City
Council
necomimi
to
own.
Y
The
apartments
due
to
the
financing
of
the
project
on
the
private
side,
the
developer
asked
us
to
combine
both
the
hotel
and
the
apartments
together,
so
we
refer
to
them
now
as
the
tower
project.
The
agreement
for
you
today
is
to
provide
an
incentive
up
to
26
million
dollars,
which
is
of
the
balance
of
the
budget,
the
overall
budget
of
fourteen
and
two
million
dollars
in
sales
tax.
The
agreement
considers
incentive
payments
and/or
a
TIF
alone,
which
the
developer
has
requested.
Y
The
proposed
loan
features
include
where
we
loan
up
to
twenty
five
million
dollars
to
the
developer,
only
2.1
million
dollars,
or
that
would
go
automatically
in
their
reserve
fund
to
protect
the
city
in
the
event
of
a
shortfall.
In
addition
that
the
annual
payment
that
would
be
required
on
a
10-year
20-year
amortization
would
go
would
be
subject
to
minimum
tax
or
minimum
payment
live
tax
which
further
secures
the
seating.
Y
Y
Whatever
our
interest
rate
is
the
developer
will
play
pay
a
spread
on
that
which
equals
about
75
basis
points,
above
whatever
our
borrowing
costs
are
for
the
initial
five
years.
Anything
after
that
it'll
be
ten
to
be
a
hundred
basis
points
after
that
that
spread
each
year
when
they
make
those
payments
would
go
again
to
the
reserve
fund
to
protect
the
city.
What
we're
seeking
to
do
is
in
the
event
that
the
reserve
fund
reaches
two
and
a
half
times,
which
is
all
over
five
point:
three
million
dollars
at
that
point
time.
Y
Any
excess
funds
that
bring
come
in
each
year
will
go
to
paid
at
rapidly
pay
down
the
debt
again.
In
addition
to
that,
in
the
event
that
if
the
project
had
issues
or
cash
flow
issues,
the
developers
have
agreed
to
come
in
with
a
personal
guarantee
to
replenish
the
reserve
fund.
Any
time
a
draw
is
made
on
that.
We
structured
this
deal
again
to
minimize
the
city's
exposure,
but
also
trying
to
get
the
project
complete
item
9l
as
a
resolution
authorizing
the
debt
and
the
issuance
of
an
RFP.
Y
It
authorizes
the
issue
up
to
twenty
five
and
a
half
million
dollars
in
the
the
other
additional
half
million
dollars,
as
a
result
of.
If
we
actually
issue
bonds,
we
will
need
we
needed
that
in
order
to
pay
for
issuance
costs.
So
we
added
that
we
are.
The
RFP
does
contemplate
a
private
placement,
though
so
we're
looking
at
both
we're
trying
to
be
flexibility
in
this.
So
that's
what
we're
doing
here,
the
timeline
is.
The
RFP
would
be
launched
tomorrow
with
the
proposals
due
May
1st,
then
we're
shooting
for
a
closing
back
on
June
12th.
Y
We
have
contemplated
a
15
million
dollar
borrowing
from
the
from
an
external
source
and
then
maybe
a
ten
million
dollar
from
an
internal
source,
and
now
some
of
the
sources
were
looking
at
or
the
workers
comp
fund
and
also
arjen
our
gold
fund.
One
thing
that
I
wanted
to
emphasize
is:
if
we
go
out
and
do
a
borrowing
and
we
do
not
get
acceptable
terms
from
a
lending
institution,
we
are
not
obligated
to
loan
the
funds.
Y
So
so
again,
this
authorization
authorizes
the
city
provide
an
agreement
of
support
and
an
agreement
support
y'all,
often
heard
of
as
a
moral
obligation.
The
agreement
of
support
is,
in
the
event
of
a
shortfall
that
the
city
would
step
in
and
make
the
payments,
which
is
like
what
we
typically
do
in
a
lot
of
our
and
that.
G
AD
Morning,
name
is
Gary
Brooks
22:17
Lonoke
way
in
January
of
2016
My
partner
and
I
signed
the
contract
to
purchase
the
first
National
Center.
Just
by
debate
we
signed
it
willingly
without
a
gun
to
our
head.
A
year
later,
we,
after
a
substantial
amount
of
due
diligence,
we
closed
on
the
property.
A
couple
of
the
photographs
here
just
bring
you
up
to
date
quickly.
We've
hauled
who's
controlling
it.
AD
We
won't
have
to
do
it
very
often,
but
to
get
some
heavy
equipment
off
the
roof
and
to
put
equipment
on
the
roof
they're,
getting
ready
to
start
some
pretty
serious
construction.
Most
of
what
we've
done
over
the
last
two
years
is
demolition,
just
getting
the
building
ready
for
construction,
we're
about
350,000
man-hours
in
the
building.
So
far,
we
anticipate
about
2
million
man-hours
before
we're
complete
with
the
job.
So
this
is
the
East
portion
of
the
1972
tower.
It
is
the
one
area
that
the
National
Park
Service
has
allowed
us
to
remove.
AD
We
wanted
to
take
care
of
our
own
parking.
We
need
600
parking
spaces
for
our
project
and,
as
most
of
you
know,
parking
downtown's
a
challenge
in
order
to
get
parking
to
the
office
building
floors,
we
have
to
build
a
double
helix
ramp
and
the
building
would
not
accommodate
that.
So,
unfortunately,
we're
having
to
remove
this
piece
and
we're
down
to
about
the
12th
floor
right
now,
you
can
keep
going.
This
is
just
an
interior
of
one
of
the
tower
floors.
Most
of
the
floors
now
are
completely
gutted.
I
AD
Very
little
left
in
the
building
for
us
to
remove
the
question.
I
sometimes
get
asked
if
you
found
any
surprises
and
there's
nothing
left
in
there
to
surprise
us.
We
have
touched
every
single
square
into
that
building,
and
most
of
it
is
now
gone.
Unfortunately,
with
an
88
year
old,
building,
you're
not
able
to
go
in
there
and
reuse,
wiring
and
cabling
and
plumbing
fixtures,
and
it's
just
wasn't
something
that
we
were
able
to
redo.
AD
Connais
told
us
that
we
were
one
of
the
largest
elevator
or
escalator
contracts
in
the
country.
Right
now
we
were
the
largest
asbestos
removal
contract
in
the
country
in
2017,
so
not
monikers.
That
I'm
very
proud
of
we
have
built
a
couple
of
hotel
model
rooms,
we're
working
on
a
couple
of
model
apartments.
Basically,
what
that
do?
It
gets
us
through
the
Marriott
process.
Make
sure
we
all
understand
exactly
what
we're
building
helps
us
define
costs
and
make
sure
that
we
don't
overspend.
We
don't
put
something
in
the
we
don't
need
to.
AD
AD
We
did
at
113,
I
call
them
case.
Studies
just
felt
like
that,
with
the
uniqueness
of
the
property
that
we
had
to
go
find
other
people
who
had
done
this
well,
hopefully
to
build
a
playbook
of
how
do
you
redevelop
a
building
like
this?
Unfortunately,
we
didn't
find
that
playbook,
because
every
single
one
of
the
40
or
41
that
we
visited
they're
all
different
they're,
all
challenging
they
all
created
their
own
challenges,
and
so
you
come
back
with
great
ideas,
but
one
of
the
things
you
realize
is
there
is
no
playbook.
AD
One
of
the
case
studies
we
studied
was
in
Columbus
and
it's
called
Levesque
Tower.
Some
of
you
were
on
that
Chamber
of
Commerce
trip
where
we
went
toward
that.
It's
a
Marriott
autograph.
It's
got
apartment
so
through
the
Marriott
team
they
allowed
me
to
hook
up
and
I
went
over
about
an
hour.
Early
I
did
a
full
tour
behind
the
scenes.
Knowing
that
I
wanted
to
see
more
and
asked
the
owner
a
few
questions,
lebec
Tower
is
I.
Call
it
Columbus's,
First
National,
it's
gorgeous
from
the
outside.
AD
It's
a
beautiful
building
you
get
inside,
it
doesn't
have
a
Great
Hall
and
we've
discovered
very
few
buildings
in
the
country.
Do
have
a
Great
Hall,
but
it's
a
it's
a
wonderful
Lobby
we
get
inside
and
what
you
quickly
find
out
is
the
departments
in
the
hotel
rooms.
They
were
good,
but
I
didn't
feel
like
they
reflected
the
quality
of
the
building
and
the
character
of
that
building
and
I
made
a
promise
to
myself
and
I
left
there
that
nobody
would
ever
walk
in
first
national
and
go
what
happened.
AD
You
know,
what
did
you
get
scared?
Were
you
afraid
to
to
just
make
it
as
good
as
you
possibly
could
we're
three
years
into
this
project?
Now
we're
just
now
beginning
to
define
what
really
really
good
looks
like
I'm,
not
I,
don't
use.
The
word
great
I
think
that's
a
little
bit
of
a
stretch.
It's
going
to
be
for
the
public
to
decide
whether
it's
great
I
can
tell
you
Marriott
thinks
it's
going
to
be
great.
Marriott
believes
that
first
national
will
be
a
national
story.
AD
They've
told
me
that
we
have
passed
all
of
their
tests
with
flying
colors.
It's
an
88
year
old,
building,
I
think
it's
more
spectacular
than
it
was
when
it's
built.
Our
goal
is
to
make
sure
in
88
years
it's
even
greater
than
it
is
today.
So
we
we
need
your
support
and
I
would
appreciate
a
vote
and
I'll.
Ask
any
question.
My
guess
is
I've
been
asked
every
question
possible
so.
K
Brent
I
mean
so
Brent
I'd
I
mean
I,
don't
recall
exactly
that.
A
general
recollection
is
that
when
we
did
the
TIF
initially
that
there
were
the
part
of
the
sales
pitch,
was
we
weren't
going
to
borrow
any
money
so
now
we're
borrowing
money
right
so
I
guess
the
question
is:
what
safeguards
are
there
going
forward?
I
mean
this
is:
does
this
become
too
big
to
fail?
You
know
we're
only
I
mean
we're
still
in
the
early
part
of
it.
I
mean
what
happens
next.
Y
So
one
of
the
safeguards
is
we're
not
putting
money
in
it.
Today
we
will
put
into
money
and,
after
all
the
equity
has
been
exhausted.
All
of
the
when
you
do
historic
tax
credits.
What
they
do
is
they
do
a
bridge
loan
with
all
the
tax
credit
revenue.
All
that
money
has
to
go
into
so
we've
tried
to
minimize
our
risk
with
andreas
by
putting
our
money
on
the
back
end
and
the
way
we've
structured
is
we're
alternating
drawers
with
the
first
thing
we
do.
Y
Is
we
take
out
2.9
2
million
dollars
out
of
the
25?
We
put
it
in
a
reserve
fund
to
protect
us
the
6.
The
next
thing
we
do
is
we'll
do
the
first
straw
that
won't
be
until
September
and
then
in
the
Centennial
bank.
We'll
do
the
next
one
in
October,
then
we'll
do
November,
so
we're
trying
to
spread
that
out.
That's
one
thing,
we're
doing
other
things
we're
doing
we're
getting
a
personal
guarantee
by
both
Gary
and
Charlie
Nicholas.
It's
not
with
an
LLC.
It's
a
personal
guarantee
and.
A
Y
Some
of
these
law
for
an
LLC-
and
you
know
LLC's
though
normally
don't,
have
any
assets,
so
we
know
not
to
do
that.
In
addition
to
that,
one
of
the
things
that
gives
me
comfort
is
the
apartments
the
the
property
taxes
on
the
apartments
will
will
go
into
the
reserve
fund
and
that's
another.
That's
another,
a
safeguard
and
again
the
interest
and
payments
principle.
Payments
that
are
due
will
be
subject
to
minimum
tax
payments.
I
mean
we're
gonna,
there's
gonna
be
a
covenant
on
the
property
that
says
they
have
to
pay
too.
Y
K
Y
There's
not
any
affordable
housing
component
in
this
project
and
I
think
the
reason
it's
not.
This
is
a
very
hard
project
to
do
just
the
numbers
of
what
it
takes
to
rehabilitate
a
historic
building.
You
know
rehabilitating
historic
buildings
is
expensive
and
when
you,
when
you
go
down
that
path,
you're
going
to
lower
your
rents,
which
is
going
to
lower
your
in
a
wives,
you're
going
to
lower
your
borrowing,
costs,
borrowing
ability-
and
so
those
are
the
kind
of
things
and
I
know
that
we
did
not
have
not
looked
at
that.
But.
X
M
Is
probably
the
most
important
building
in
the
city
of
Oklahoma
City
and
as
I've
thought
through
this
a
lot
I
just
can't
I
can't
visualize
another
project
where
every
single
player',
public
or
private
would
go
as
far
as
they
can
go,
and
maybe
even
a
little
further
to
make
sure
this
project
works
and
is
successful.
I
just
view
it
as
the
most
critical
thing
we
have
still
to
do
in
downtown
Oklahoma
City.
It
wouldn't
happen
without
our
support.
You.
D
A
Okay
got
a
motion
and
a
second
on
that
I
would
just
add,
I
mean
I
just
come
in
Gary
and
your
partner
and
everybody,
obviously
on
the
city,
side,
Brent
and
and
your
team
for
the
for
working
through
these
very
complex
issues
and
your
personal
commitment
to
this
I
mean
we're
all
very
familiar.
Any
of
us.
Who've
spent
any
time
with
you
over
the
last
two
years
know
your
personal
passion
for
this
and
you're
willing,
but
at
the
same
time
your
willingness
to
to
be
practical
and
do
it
and
do
it
and
do
it
right.
A
So,
thank
you
and
we
know
that
we're
making
a
big
commitment
here
too,
but,
as
everyone
said,
this
is
this
is
worth
it.
So
with
that
and
no
further
discussion,
we'd
cast
a
vote
on
9k
passes
unanimously,
and
that
brings
us
to
9l
on
the
same
topic.
This
is
a
resolution
approving
the
incurrence
of
indebtedness
by
the
oklahoma
city,
economic
and
Trust
etcetera
got
a
motion
in
a
second
any
discussion.
Seeing
none
cast
your
votes
passes
unanimously.
All
right.
Thank
you.
This
brings
us
to
item
9
M.
G
AC
Item
an
disapproves,
a
sales
tax
revenue
know
the
amount
of
ten
million
and
thirty
thousand
dollars
for
the
zoo.
We've
been
working
with
the
zoo
staff,
on
kind
of
cash
flow
projections,
and
just
in
looking
at
their
major
capital
plans
that
they
had
going.
They
had
a
need
over
these
next
couple
years
to
ensure
that
they
didn't
run
short
on
that
and
have
to
delay
any
capital
projects.
So
we
had
the
zoo
trust
had
previously
issued
an
RFP
for
bank
loans,
because
we
want
to
look
at
something
fairly
short
term.
AC
We
were
I'm
happy
to
report
that
they
did
receive
four
different
proposals
and
each
one
of
those
proposed
different
things
everywhere,
from
ten
to
twelve
to
fifteen
year
bank
loans.
So
in
working
with
our
financial
advisor
and
their
staff
and
looking
at
the
different
proposals,
raymond-james
was
the
one
that
was
selected.
That
was
the
winning
bid.
It
was
3.0
two
percent
rate
for
15
years.
It's
about
eight
hundred
fifty
thousand
dollars
a
year
of
debt
service
overall
and
has
a
ten-year
call
on
it.
AC
That
gives
us
some
flexibility
in
the
event
they
wanted
to
pay
that
off
earlier.
So
the
plan
on
this
is
it
with
your
approval
and
the
zoo
trusts
approval
tomorrow.
We
would
close
on
this
actually
on
the
28th,
so
here
in
a
couple
of
days,
so
this
is
something
we've
been
working
on
with
the
zoo
trust.
With
that
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
A
A
A
Seeing
none
I
would
entertain
a
motion
for
the
resolution
found
at
nine
in
two
declaring
that
the
structures
are
dilapidated,
got
a
motion
in
a
second
any
discussion.
Seeing
none
cast
your
votes
passes
unanimously
901.
This
is
a
public
hearing
regarding
the
unsecured
structures
listed
here,
except
for
the
ones
that
were
struck
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting.
Is
there
anyone
here
who
wishes
to
speak
under
the
public
hearing
portion
of
item
901.
A
X
Congratulate
Nikki
nice,
she
doesn't
know
me
I've
not
met
her.
She
was
invited
to
come
to
our
February
meeting
and
whatever
occurred.
She
had
another
meeting.
She
was
attending,
so
we
deeply
apologize
for
not
meeting
her
in
advance.
I
am
a
retired
rose
state
college
administrator
I
live
in
the
community
I'm
an
elder
minister
at
the
Northwest
Church
of
Christ
and
I
want
to
be
intelligent
when
I
appear
before
this
August
Assembly.
Here
I
would
like
to
ask
if
it's
possible
to
table
number
G.
X
K
X
That
I
personally
have
gone
to
yeah
well
you're,
just
about
everybody,
I
know
in
Central
Oklahoma
to
try
to
resolve
an
issue.
This
is
a
water
issue.
That's
a
rat-infested
buildings
behind
us
cockroaches
everything
else
there
and
the
owner
of
the
structure
came
to
our
January
meeting
and
rattle
off
how
he
was
going
to
take
care
of
all
of
this.
He
had
fines,
whatever
label
against
him
by
the
city
of
Oklahoma
City
we've
refused
to
pay
the
fines,
so
it
he
ended
up.
X
He's
done
nothing
to
improve
this
structure,
so
I'd
like
to
get
with
Nicky
nice
and
the
elected
by
the
way,
I'm
really
embarrassed
because
I'm,
not
the
president
of
the
Capitol
View
neighborhood
association,
I,
served
in
that
position
about
five
or
six
years
ago.
All
of
the
elected
officials
are
absent
today,
they'll
once
they
should
be.
If
you're
talking
about
this
this
this
factors
into
why
we
like
you
like
for
you
to
table
this
issue,
bring
it
up
at
your
next
council
meeting.
X
Double
your
lunch
time
to
put
all
of
our
factual
effects
together,
bring
some
PowerPoint
stuff
here,
so
it
can
be
seen
what
is
really
happening.
Let
me
just
give
you
a
tidbit
in
my
terminology
of
the
structures
we
were
talking
about:
3610
Spring,
Lake,
Drive,
building
a
building
B.
There
are
five
apartment
buildings
inside
of
the
building,
a
and
building
B
at
the
present
time,
I
hate
to
tell
you
this,
but
they
are
unoccupied,
rundown,
boarded
up
and
about
to
crumble
and
fall
over
anyway.
So
I
don't
want
to
go
any
further
than
that.
X

Seeing

I'll
entertain
a
Reza
emotion
for
9:02
the
resolution
declaring
that
the
structures
are
unsecured
I've
got
a
motion
in
a

Seeing

Seeing
none
I
would
entertain
a
motion
for
the
resolution
found
at
9,
P
2,
declaring
that
the
buildings
are
abandoned.
I've
got
a
motion
in
a
second
any
discussion.
Seeing
none
cast
your
votes
passes
unanimously.
Okay,
this
brings
us
to
9q
1.
This
is
a
resolution
adopting
a
December
2018
update
to
the
community
and
neighborhood
enhancement
program
project
implementation
plan,
and
then
we
also
have
under
item
9q
item
2
resolution
approving
an
allocation,
a
better
street,
safer
city
sales,
tax
funds
and
I
believe.
Maybe
we
have
a
presentation,
Erik.
G
AE
Thank
You
Marion,
council,
and
so
what
is
before
you
today
is
the
second
amendment
to
the
implementation
plan
for
better
streets,
safer
city
as
a
part
of
the
sales
tax
program.
You
might
recall
that
the
original
plan
was
adopted
in
May
of
2018.
We
had
the
first
amendment
in
September
of
2018,
so
this
December
update
will
be
that
second
to
the
plan
all
done
within
that
first
year.
The
program
what's
included
in
this
update
today,
is
added
arterial
and
residential
street
resurfacing
projects.
It
also
enhances
the
methodology
for
how
projects
are
selected.
AE
One
of
the
things
that
we
found
on
that
first
year
on
the
residential
we
originally
looked
at
those
by
square-mile,
but
finding
that
not
every
square
mile
of
residential
streets
was
in
need
of
repair,
and
so
we've
actually
been
able
to
make
that
a
finer
grading
and
we're
able
to
either
look
at
it
neighborhood
by
neighborhood
or
a
quarter
mile
by
quarter
mile.
So
it's
allowing
us
to
expand
those
dollars
further
to
the
streets
that
are
needed
the
most
and
so
that
methodology
update,
is
also
included
in
the
plan.
AE
The
previous
plans
have
included
other
updates,
like
adding
trails
and
sidewalks
this
plan
strictly
is
just
adding
additional
street
resurfacing
I'm.
The
second
item:
that's
on
the
agenda,
is
for
the
authorization
to
support
the
additional
projects
in
the
amount
of
15
million,
two
hundred
thousand
with
your
approval
today,
and
this
is
being
recommended
by
the
citizens
advisory
board.
AE
This
will
have
about
50%
of
the
residential
and
arterial
street
resurfacing
projects
authorized
based
on
the
amount
of
funding
to
date,
so
there's
about
50%
that
will
be
remaining
we're
already
working
on
additional
amendments
for
2019,
so
you
can
anticipate
receiving
additional
amendments.
I
think
with
that
I
can
answer
any
questions
that
you
might
have
about
the
item
today.
A
Well,
I
never
miss
an
opportunity
to
mention
this
is
the
largest
street
repair
project
in
city
history,
800
million
dollars
and-
and
it
has
quite
a
process-
and
you
alluded
to
it-
the
fact
that
we
have
a
citizen
advisory
board
for
this.
Just
like
we
have
for
maps
and
I.
All
I
would
also
refer
anyone
who
wants
to
get
a
little
deeper
dive
to
go
to
OKC
gov,
slash
better
safer
there
there's
a
searchable
map
and
also
just
a
simple
list
of
all
the
projects
that
are
all
over
the
city,
not
just
downtown.
A
In
fact,
hardly
any
of
them
are
downtown
there,
they're
spread
across
our
borders
with
that
we
do
have
a
resolution
that
would
adopt
the
December
2018
update
and
if
there's
no
discussion
or
questions
I
could
take
a
motion.
Okay
got
a
motion.
Second
cast
your
votes
passes
unanimously.
We
also
have
nine
q2
resolution
approving
the
allocation
in
this
case
of
about
15
million
dollars.
A
Okay,
is
there
a
second
got
a
motion
in
a
second
any
discussion,
seeing
none
cast
your
votes
passes
unanimously
9r1.
This
is
a
resolution
authorizing
a
municipal
councillor
to
confess
judgment.
Without
admitting
liability
in
the
case
of
Campbell
V
city
of
OKC
staff
does
not
believe
we
need
a
executive
session,
but
it
looks
like
someone
has
signed
up
to
speak,
so
maybe
we'll
begin
there,
Michael
Washington.
AG
AG
Now,
according
to
my
investigation
of
this
entire
situation,
here
again,
I
must
say
that
I
was
one
of
the
most
influential
ones
to
make
sure
that
guy
got
what
he
bloody
deserves.
But
now,
even
though
it's
not
admitted
in
your
pamphlet
here
or
applications,
I,
don't
see
anything
regarding
how
much
money
that
this
facility,
this
horseshoe
community
here,
is
going
to
recommend
with
respect
to
know
again
not
accepting
liability.
AG
AG
You
can
best
believe
Michael
Wacha's
gonna
give
his
two
cents
worth
so
again.
Thank
y'all
very
much
and
again.
Y'all
should
give
this
woman
not
because
she's
black,
but
because
she's,
a
human
being,
and
you
had
a
man
who
had
a
job
to
be
a
civil
servant
who
decided
to
gonna
be
a
monster
instead.
So
again,
anybody
who
come
from
somewhere
like
that
should
be
held
accountable
again.
AG
A
A
Got
a
motion
in
a

Seeing

the
oklahoma

Collins,
Horne
and
Wagner

robert
varney
in
the
case,
Dawson
V
city
of
OKC

does
not
think
we
need
an

So
I

Thank
You
commend
dr.
A
L
You
wanna
say:
if
you
go
around
edy
I've
enjoyed
getting
to
know
you
over
the
last
six
years
enjoyed
sitting
next
to
you.
You
know
the
one
thing
that
Ward
8
and
Ward
1
have
in
common
is
that
you
only
have
one
person
to
talk
to
there
anything
off
my
hearing
during
these
meetings
and
so
I've
enjoyed
having
Ed
next
to
me
and
things
I
appreciate
about
you
or
your
passion,
your
intelligence,
your
the
amount
of
research
that
you
put
into
things
and
that'll
be
missed
on
this
council.
I
That
I've
got
to
say:
I
really
really
have
appreciated
you
bringing
up
different
views
that
may
not
necessarily
align
with
an
original
opinion.
I
have
but
I
do
bring
a
lot
of
value
when
I
have
an
opinion
or
someone
else
to
bring
another
insight,
because
it
it
makes
me
feel
like
I'm,
making
a
better
overall
decision.
So
for
that
I
really
appreciate
you.
I
I
also
I
appreciate
appreciate
your
contrariness
a
little
bit
and
it
makes
me
sometimes
feel
like
I'm,
not
voting,
though
enough
up
here,
and
maybe
it's
I'm,
giving
too
easy
a
pass
on
some
of
these
items.
So
I
do
always
think
of
that
and
I
think
of
you
going
man
I've
got
a
vote
no
more.
So
thank
you
ad
and
I
appreciate
your
service
to
the
city.
H
And
it
really
has
been
a
pleasure
to
work
with
you.
Actually
I've
enjoyed
work
working
with
you
and
thanks
for
all
the
projects,
you've
given
me
the
last
eight
years
it
actually,
it
gave
me
something
to
do
kept
me
a
lot
busier
than
I
would
have
been
otherwise
so,
and
you
still
have
13
days
to
go.
So
it's
not
too
late
for
another
one.
I.
G
Just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
your
service
to
our
citizens
and
dedication
that
you
have
and
your
passion
what
you
believe
and
where
you
stand,
you
push
as
hard,
and
you
ask
us
tough
questions,
and
sometimes
it
really
does
make
a
step
back
and
rethink
things
and
and
I.
Think,
like
councilman
Stone
said
we
end
up
with
a
better
product
in
the
end
and
I
just
appreciate
your
commitment.
F
Edie
I'm,
sorry,
Merida,
no
I'm,
sorry,
okay!
Well,
we
came
on
the
council
at
the
same
time
and
you've
been
very
helpful
to
me
in
my
I'm
gonna
use
the
word
growth
in
terms
of
being
on
the
City
Council
I
appreciate
all
that
you've
done,
and
there
is
no
doubt
that
every
time
you
bring
forth
something
it's
in
your
opinion,
you
have
the
citizens
well-being
for
four
mouths
in
in
your
efforts
to
see
things
come
through
and
that's
very
admirably
and
I'd
say
we
probably
have
more
in
agreement.
F
Sometimes
we
just
differ
on
how
to
get
there,
but
it's
it's
obvious
you're,
very
sincere
and
caring
about
the
citizens
of
Oklahoma,
City
and
you've.
You've
just
added
a
lot
to
the
city's
governance
over
the
last
eight
years.
We
will
miss
you
as
well,
and
we
hope
that
you'll
still,
you
know,
stay
in
touch
with
us.
F
F
M
A
couple
of
things
we
have
had
some
squabbles,
unlike
Larry
we've
had
the
privilege
of
sharing
borders
and
I
really
do
appreciate
all
the
work
that
we've
been
able
to
do
together
on
23rd
Street.
We're
really,
you
know
seeing
some
games,
but
the
thing
I'd
like
to
say,
most
importantly,
is
really
what
David
said.
Your
passion
that
you
bring
to
this,
and
even
if
we
have
ideas
where
we
don't
agree,
we
I
think
we've
ended
up
with
a
better
product
as
a
result
of
the
conversations
and
I
always
think
about
the
Boulevard.
M
When
I
reflect
on
the
struggles
that
project
wouldn't
be
nearly
as
good
as
it
is
and
I
know,
you
agree,
I
think
I
agree
with
you,
it's
not
perfect,
but
we
got
so
much
better
product.
By
having
the
conversation
and
by
working
together
hiring
consultants,
you
know
creating
something:
that's
much
better
for
our
citizens,
so
I
really
appreciate
the
openness
and
the
dialogue,
and
you
have
really
helped
me
think
hard
about
issues
that
may
be.
You
know,
I
took
to
heart
one
way
and
there's
always
a
difference
opinion.
M
We
talked
a
little
bit
earlier
about
listening
and
I.
Think
that's
the
most
important
part
of
this
job,
and
it's
so
you
know
we
all
learn
that
very
smart
people
who
care
passionately
about
something
can
have
a
difference
of
opinion
and
should
be
able
to
work
through
that
civilly
and
you've
done
that
with
us
and
I
really
appreciate
it,
and
thank
you
for
including
your
kiddos
in
the
process.
It's
just
a
great
education
for
them
to
see
you
go
through
this.
D
And
I
want
to
tell
you
how
much
I
admired
every
time
you
walked
in
this
room.
You
were
so
prepared
and
you
know
the
first
time
you
get
one
of
these
agendas
with
all
the
documents.
It's
a
little
intimidating
and
I
remember
walking
up
to
Pat,
Ryan
and
asking
him
what
should
I
do
with
this
and
he
kind
of
adjusted
his
glasses
and
looked
real
oddly
at
me
and
said,
I
suggest
you
read
it
and
you've
always
read
this
and
you
were
always
well
prepared
and
it's
I
think
the
best
word
is
curiosity.
D
I
admired
your
curiosity,
your
ability
to
drill
down
into
the
details
and
question
things
and
from
that
I
learned
and
so
I
would
like
to
say.
Thank
you
I'd
like
to
say
thank
you
for
what
you
taught
me.
Thank
you
for
your
service.
I
wish
you
well
in
your
future.
Endeavors
come
back
and
see
us
and
God
bless.
A
K
Think
grateful
for
all
your
comments
or
not
and
I
echo
them
and
and
I
appreciate
you
listening
and
today,
I
I
ran
for
a
lot
of
reasons.
I
have
three
principal
issues
that
are
most
important
to
me
and
I'd
like
to
speak
to
them
one
last
time
with
a
specific
request
of
you
just
going
forward
or
I
do
that
I
want
to
just
think
the
people
war
to
for
giving
me
this
opportunity,
which,
next
to
my
kids,
is
the
most
meaningful
experience
of
my
life.
K
One
of
the
things
that
made
it
most
meaningful
was
the
city
staff
and
you
know,
I'm
an
introvert
I,
don't
necessarily
like
being
in
big
crowds
and
even
really
being
here,
but
it's
always
nice
after
it's
over,
but
the
one-on-one
meetings
with
city
staff
or
what-what
just
gave
me
so
much
energy
and
the
intellectual
stimulation
and
and
and
so
many
people
I
don't
want
to
so
many
people
had
an
impact
on
me
and
I.
Just
I
would
expect
to
continue
to
speak
with
them.
K
My
dreams,
I
think
that
things
are
getting
better
they're
better
than
when
I
got
here,
but
I
do
think.
City
staff
deserved
better,
especially
early
on
and
tenure,
when
I
started
right
before
James
was
elected,
I
was
44
years
old
I
was
the
youngest
member
of
the
council.
I
think
the
average
age
had
to
be
well
into
its
60s.
We
didn't
talk
about
things
like
diversity.
If
you
said
it
a
phrase
like
placemaking
or
Complete,
Streets
I'm,
not
sure
how
much
of
the
council
would
would
know
what
those
terms
met.
K
We
had
been
named
by
Prevention
magazine
as
the
worst
city
for
pedestrians
in
the
entire
country,
and
we
we
crawled
our
way,
and
we
made
progress
in
all
those
fronts.
I
think
that
with
Craig's
leadership,
I'm
hopeful
that
we
have
an
environment
in
which
all
the
city
employees
are
feel
free
and
safe
in
a
in
a
environment
of
trust,
to
express
their
opinions
that
there
won't
be
any
retribution,
because
I
think
the
people
benefit
from
that
and
based
on
the
things
that
I've
heard,
you
say,
I'm
hopeful,
that's
going
to
happen.
I.
K
The
planning
department
deserves
to
be
elevated
to
its
rightful
stature
and
we're
getting
there,
but
it
didn't
deserve
to
be
marginalized.
The
way
it
was
especially
early
at
my
tenure
I,
can't
imagine
being
in
the
Historic
Preservation
Office
and
watching
us
in
the
last
decade,
tear
down
more
structures
than
any
decade
outside
of
maybe
the
IM
Pei
decades.
K
The
urban
renewal
errors
in
the
60s,
a
council
that
would
abide
by
a
comprehensive
plan
when
it
felt
like
it
and
not
abide
by
it
when
it
didn't
feel
like
it
and
people
put
their
blood,
sweat
and
tears
into
drafting
that
and
I
hope
future
councils
will
will
continue
to
adhere
to
it.
It's
a
it's
a
noble
profession,
I
hope
my
kids
are
exposed
to
it.
I
do
have
three
topics
today
and
I.
K
Don't
feel
like
I've
made
much
progress
on
these
three
I
do
need
to,
even
though,
as
many
have
said
before
me,
you
need
to
speak
to
it
to
power,
no
matter
who's
listening
and
if
your
voice
is
weak
or
shaky
and
I
think
the
voices
that
come
after
me,
I'm
only
really
the
harbinger
of
things
to
come,
and
even
though
I
may
have
seen
like
dr.
know
or
or
the
radical
I
think
the
voices
that
come
after
me
starting
a
couple
of
weeks,
but
then
the
ones
after
them.
K
Well,
the
voices
will
be
stronger
and
stronger
on
these
issues,
because
they'll
have
no
choice,
because
these
three
issues
will
all
get
worse
over
time
and
they
may
sound
more
and
more
radical
to
the
current
council
or
Counsel's
I've
served
on,
but
over
time
they
will
become
the
norm
and
the
council's
that
I've
served
on
actually
I
think
become.
The
radicals.
K
The
first
requests
first
topic
is
to
have
an
open
and
honest
discussion
about
mental
illness,
including
addiction,
which
includes
releasing
the
survey
of
a
mental
illness
and
trauma,
and
the
Oklahoma
State
public
schools
and
work
towards
helping
city
employees
with
mental
illness
and
trauma
about
a
year.
A
year
and
a
half
ago
the
the
State
Department
Terry
White
came.
We
met
privately.
K
They
they
did
a
survey
of
all
the
children
in
Oklahoma,
City,
public
schools,
and
it
was
shocking
and
it's
frightening
and
a
year
later,
I'm
not
sure
why
it
hasn't
been
released,
especially
when
we're
thinking
about
putting
things
like
mental
illness
and
maps.
For
that
study.
That
survey
has
to
be
released
immediately
as
soon
as
possible,
and
we
have
to
have
a
public
discussion
about
it.
It's
not
unique,
what's
happening,
it's
scary,
I
mean
the
numbers
are
shocking,
but
it's
happening
nationwide.
There
is
a
substantial
spike
in
mental
illness
among
children.
There
is
since
2012.
K
You
look
at
insurance
claims
like
a
65
percent
increase
in
major
depression
among
teenagers.
One
in
six
children
has
mental
illness,
Aurora
Laura,
the
previous
superintendent
called
mental
health
and
trauma
among
the
children,
the
biggest
problem
in
the
schools,
and
if
we
want
to
make
the
schools
better,
if
we
want
to
make
education
better,
you
can't
have
that
conversation
until
you
have
a
conversation
about
mental
health
and
trauma
child
abuse,
sex
abuse,
homelessness,
poverty.
K
K
So
there's
one
in
six,
kids
with
and
I
would
just
say
that
the
spike
happened
around
2012
and
has
a
parent
of
three
teenagers.
I
think
that
cell
phones,
utilization
rate
is
part
of
that
the
kids
are
sleep-deprived
and
that
and
sleep
deprivation
is
part
of
it.
So
one
in
six
have
mental
illness
as
a
teenager.
I
was
one
of
those
children
with
mental
illness.
I
struggled
with
addiction
I
functioned
at
a
high
level.
I
made
it
through
the
years.
K
I
then
went
to
a
level
1
trauma
center
in
Harlem,
where
I
did
surgical
training,
spine
surgery,
training
for
6
years.
We
worked
125
hours
a
week.
Sometimes
even
a
150
men
with
sociopathic
tendencies
would
tell
me
things
like
you're,
not
a
true
spine
surgeon
until
you've
paralyzed
someone
soon
after
I
graduated
a
resident
killed
himself.
Another
resident
in
another
program
killed
the
daughter
of
a
state
senator
because
he
was
sleep
deprived
in
the
New
York
State
Legislature
put
their
foot
down
hard
and
restrictions
spread
through
the
country.
K
So
today
nowhere
in
the
country
are
you
able
to
do
what
was
done
to
us,
but
you
couldn't
put
the
genie
back
in
the
bottle.
The
the
problem
was
I'd
had
enough
cumulative
trauma
that
that
never
in
a
million
years
would
I
be
able
to
pull
out
of
that
on.
My
own
I
had
to
eventually
go
to
rehab
and
treatment
for
three
months.
That's
when
the
best
experiences
of
my
life,
and
but
without
that
I
wouldn't
have
been
able
to
to
do
so
so
I.
K
There
was
a
progressive
descent
into
a
dark
place
as
a
result
of
the
cumulative
trauma
and
if
I
spoke
a
little
bit
longer
like
I'm
doing
now,
a
little
bit
louder
and
with
more
urgency,
I
think
I
was
trying
to
make
amends
for
those
events
of
15
to
25
years
ago.
So
the
issue
here
at
the
city
is
that
we
have
because
Meg
pointed
out
4,800
employees
right.
K
So
you
look
at
statistically,
you
know
in
all
any
business
you've
got
10
15
percent
that
are
struggling
with
mental
illness
and
have
a
substance
to
use
disorder
right.
The
problem
is
here:
we've
got
like
40
percent
of
our
employees
are
first
responders.
So
if
you
look
at
the
numbers
for
first
responders,
it
is
completely
different
than
the
general
population.
The.
K
Police
and
fire
have
five
times
the
depression
rate
as
the
general
population
and
with
an
PTSD
with
PTSD
rates.
Police
are
in
fire,
significantly
more
likely
to
die
from
suicide
and
in
the
line
of
duty.
Well,
what
happens
and
I
sent
all
of
you
a
study
last
night
on
first
responders
and
what
happens
is
there's
there's
a
list
of
about
thirty
four
critical
incidents
that
you
can
observe
and
each
time
you
observe
one
of
those
critical
incidents.
K
K
Shame
and
stigma
prevent
them
from
seeking
help,
and
so
what
I
would
say?
My
ask
is
that
management
find
those
people
right?
You
know
they're
there
there's
hundreds
of
people
working
for
the
city
that
have
mental
illness.
There
are
hundreds
of
people
with
substance,
use
disorders,
so
find
them
if
that
means
negotiating
with
the
unions
for
more
random
drug
screens.
K
You
know
what
one
of
the
small
hole
in
my
argument
on
salary
for
mayor
and
council
is
the
amazing
health
insurance
we
have
so
we
have
health
insurance
for
all.
Forty
eight
hundred
of
us,
plus
the
retirees
plus
our
families,
that
pays
for
treatment
and
so
I
would
say,
go
it's
an
amazing
feeling
to
white-knuckle
it
and
then
let
go,
and
then
you
go
and
and
do
the
hard
work
it
it's
it
needs
to
be
for
90
days.
The
insurance
will
ask
you
will
approve
30
days
and
if
there's
a
reason
to
go
90
days.
K
They'll
approve
that
and
the
reason
you
give
them
is
that
thirty
days
work
and
we
want
to
do
what
doctors
and
airline
pilots
have
to
do,
which
is
90
days
and
then
five
years
of
randomized
drug
screens
and
maintenance.
Afterwards,
that's
the
minimum,
that's
the
key!
That's
how
physicians
and
airline
pilots
get
such
a
higher
success
rate
than
everybody
else,
and
that's
what
city
of
Oklahoma
City
employees
deserve.
So
you
might
have
to
go
out
of
state
and
go
to
Talbot
where
I
went
and
help
and
Atlanta
it's
amazing
place
the
go.
K
Send
your
kids
send
your
spouts
just
just
go
and
I
agree,
if
not
being
there
it's
it's
it's
the
fastest
rate
of
acceleration
and
personal
growth.
You
you
could
imagine
it
three
months
doesn't
sound
like
a
long
time,
but
there's
a
distortion
of
time
which
occurs
and
done,
and
it's
amazing
second
topic.
K
When
I
was
there,
they
wanted
me
just
to
focus
on
emotions
and
minimize
intellectualism,
with
the
exception
that
we
got
to
talk
about
addiction
and
things
like
denial
and
how
powerful
denial
is
you
could
have,
you
could
have
an
elected
official
continue
to
get
duis
and
it's
obvious
to
everyone
just
stop
drinking,
but
for
some
reason
that
person
can't
see
it
and
that's
the
that
that's
the
most
striking
part
of
addiction
to
me.
But
what
I
was
thinking
was
was
what's
plagued
me
since
I
was
a
teenager.
K
K
Now
we
have
this
kill
switch,
which
is
socialism.
So
if
you
say
the
word,
socialism,
that's
a
kill,
switch
and
you
don't
get
to
have
a
conversation
anymore,
but
we
need
to
put
our
oar
in
the
water
and
at
least
paddle
backwards.
A
little
bit.
I
went
to
this
Congress
for
new
and
urbanism
meeting
a
number
of
years
ago,
and
they
had
all
that.
I
was
like
a
kid
in
the
candy
store.
All
the
people,
I
looked
up
to
Diwani,
who
started
a
Richard
Florida
and
all
these
people,
and
we
were
talking
about
climate.
K
It
was
about
climate
change,
so
when
we
were
really
excited-
and
it
was
like
they
punched
me
in
the
gut-
and
it
has
stuck
with
me
forever-
I-
feel
it
right
now
talking
to
you,
because
in
that
meeting
of
the
brightest
intellectuals
in
America,
they
basically
said
it's
over
and
they
didn't
want
to
talk
about
prevention
of
climate
change.
It
was
all
about
adaptation,
it
was
all
about.
K
What
do
we
do
once
the
elected
officials
become
honest
once
the
elected
officials
share
with
a
population
that
Miami
Beach
is
gone,
no
matter
what
we
do,
how
is
there
an
orderly
transition
back
inland?
How
do
we
deal
with
the
with
the
flooding
in
the
and
the
climate
change
inland?
It
was
all
about
prevention.
K
It's
almost
like
hospice
care
like
the
patient
is
going
to
die.
How
do
we
keep
things
as
government's
so
that
the
pain
is
less,
as
least
for
the
people
as
as
we
die,
I've
asked
you
to
think
what
what
were
your
thoughts?
All
of
us
that
were
here
when
Eric
Weiner
was
saying
that
in
the
five-year
period
2010
to
2015,
we
had
two
100-year
floods
and
three
five
hundred
year.
Floods
right
a
100-year
flood
is
that
you
have
a
1%
chance
of
that
happening
in
a
year.
K
K
Remember
the
movie
Jaws,
where
the
characters
like
we're
going
to
need
a
bigger
boat,
Oklahoma
City
is
going
to
need
a
bigger
drainage
system,
we're
not
ready
and
we
have
to
invest
in
adaptation.
Kansas
City
has
committed
to
powering
a
hundred
percent
of
their
municipal
buildings
with
not
with
renewables.
By
next
year.
K
We
haven't
really
done
anything.
We
are
the
only
city
in
America.
Basically,
that's
building
a
convention
center
that
doesn't
have
solar
panels
on
the
top
and
I
tried
to
get
that
and
I'd
get
arguments
that
well
at
the
price
of
electricity
in
Oklahoma
City,
so
cheap
the
return
on
investment
isn't
there
that
ignores
the
negative
externalities
that
ignores
the
pollution,
we're
getting
ready
to
get
cited
by
the
EPA
for
non-compliance
with
our
air,
which,
coming
from
the
tarp
administration,
is
really
saying
something.
K
But
there
are
reasons
besides
just
the
return
on
investment
to
put
solar
panels
on
a
convention
center
like
virtually
every
other
city
in
America,
is
doing
number
one.
You
tell
the
kids
we
care,
we
give
a
damn
we're
going
to
do
what
we
can
do.
I
don't
do
that.
The
water
relay
centers
is
where
we
use
the
bulk
of
our
electricity.
I.
K
But
my
ask
I
guess
if
there's
just
one
thing
that
we
did
where,
whether
you
believe
in
climate
change
or
not
makes
economic
sense
is
by
electric
buses
right.
This
is
where
we're
getting
left
behind
in
both
age
by
Asia
and
Europe
that
have
purchased
350,000
electric
buses
Oklahoma's,
the
United
States
has
unesp.
Leds
have
350
right
now.
China
is
99%
electric
buses
now,
not
just
because
of
the
air
quality,
because,
even
though
there's
a
larger
initial
capital
outlay,
maybe
600
700
thousand
versus
450,000.
K
You
save
forty
five
thousand
dollars
a
year
because
there's
less
moving
parts,
there's
they
last
longer
and
the
fuel
savings,
so
you're
saving
like
forty
five
thousand
dollars
per
year
per
electric
bus.
So
if
you
do
one
thing
by
electric
buses,
but
do
something
do
anything?
Third
topic:
income,
inequality,
income
inequality
is
increasing,
with
no
no
break
in
sight
right
and
my
reading
of
history
is
that
when
income
inequality
gets
too
great,
you
have
instability
right.
K
If
you
favor
capitalism,
if
you
want
capitalism,
you
know
that
a
byproduct
is
people
without
capital
and
you
have
to
have
a
safety
net.
You
have
to
make
things
you
have
to
minimize
the
pain
for
those
without
capital.
In
a
capitalistic
system,
when
I
was
in
treatment,
we
couldn't
weren't
allowed
to
say
the
Lord's
Prayer
FB
at
the
end
of
the
meeting
like
if
you
go
to
a
a
a
meeting
and
Oklahoma
City,
virtually
all
of
them
say
the
Lord's
Prayer
at
the
end,
but
they
didn't
want
to
offend
anyone.
They
wanted
everyone
to
participate.
K
Even
if
ninety
percent
of
people
wanted
Lord's
Prayer,
you
didn't
say
it
right.
We
start
off
every
meeting
here
with
a
prayer,
and
usually
we
invoke
Jesus's
name
right,
the
occasional
time
we
have
someone
Jewish
or
Muslim.
They
they
just
kind
of
say
a
prayer
but
and
nothing
gets
Christine.
Byrd
I've
been
in
our
church
twice.
It
was
amazing.
Her
church
is
amazing
and
the
prayer
is
fine,
but
not
everybody
feels
comfortable.
My
predecessor,
mark
Schwartz
would
stand
outside
that
door
kind
of
in
protests,
who's
Jewish
and
then
he
would
sit
down
after
that's
over.
K
Don't
because
we're
all
gonna
fail,
so
we're
gonna
be
hypocrites,
then,
later
in
Matthew
25:40,
whatever
you
did
for
what
for
the
those
with
the
least
you
did
for
me
so
I'm,
looking
at
that
and
Jesus
is
saying
what
you
do
for
those
in
society
that
have
the
least
you
do
for
me
and
we're
invoking
Jesus's
name
at
the
beginning
of
every
meeting.
But
in
my
tenure
I
don't
see
that
I
don't
see
that
we
took
steps
to
protect
those
that
had
the
least
material
possessions.
K
We
came
to
the
conclusion
somehow
that
in
a
city
that
was
the
worst
city
in
America
for
pedestrians,
in
which
there
was
no
infrastructure
for
alternatives
like
bicycling,
where
this,
where
we
have
the
second
largest
city,
sprawl
wise,
where
were
incredibly
spread
out
that
we
would
have
no
bus
service
in
the
evenings,
that
we
would
have
no
public
transit
on
Sundays
that
we
would
have
public
service
on
Saturdays
once
an
hour,
we
hurt
people
we
kept.
We
said
if
you're
rich
enough
to
afford
ten
thousand
dollars
a
year
to
operate
and
maintain
a
vehicle.
K
You
can
participate
in
the
society.
But
if
you
can't
afford
that
you
don't
this
is
before
uber
and
lyft,
you
don't
get
to
go
to
the
grocery
store.
You
don't
get
to
get
to
this
job.
We
recognize
right
that
the
poor
don't
take
trips
to
Disneyland.
They
take
every
dollar
that
they
get
and
they
reinvested
in
the
Oklahoma
the
economy,
and
then
we
collect
that
as
sales
tax.
K
K
We
knew
from
all
the
empirical
evidence
that
you
would
want
that
if
you
invest
like
we're,
investing
in
downtown
you're
gonna
get
gentrification,
it's
going
to
be
not
affordable
for
sizable
segments
of
the
population,
but
only
at
the
end
of
my
tenure
did.
We
start
talking
about
affordable
housing
and
only
then
did
we
talk
about
80%
of
median
income,
which
is
somebody
making
a
$20
an
hour
johar
having
a
$20
an
hour
job.
That's
not
even
teachers
don't
even
make
that
much.
K
But
I'll
just
I'll
end
with
this.
What
would
you,
what
would
you
have
me
say?
Have
you
thought
about
if
there
was
a
Judgment
Day
and
you
had
to
answer
to
it,
Jesus
what
you
did
for
those
with
the
least
among
you
during
my
eight
years
here?
What
would
I
say
that
we
had
a
$200,000
social
services
budget
that
we
did
have
an
increased
in
15
years,
but
I
protests
that
we
have
millions
of
dollars
in
federal,
past
suit,
violence,
I,
don't
think
so.
I
think
I
stay,
quiet
and
I
beg
for
forgiveness.
K
This
last
thing
to
my
kids:
it's
okay
to
be
selfish.
Everybody
is
everybody
that
you
know.
Does
everybody
thinks
about
themselves?
It's
kind
of
amusing
and
sad
at
the
same
time
that
in
neighborhoods
and
municipal
government,
which
is
the
branch
of
government
that
affects
our
day
to
day,
lives
the
most
it's
really
only
when
people's
selfish
interests
are
involved,
that
they
get
involved.
So
that's
natural,
but
in
my
experience,
is
that
when
I've
spent
the
bulk
of
my
time,
focusing
on
myself
my
wants
and
needs
myself
I'm,
not
happy
and
oftentimes
miserable.
K
A
A
AA
E
So
I
think
that's
a
lot
of
history
that
needs
to
be
recognized
for
women
and
making
strides
in
Oklahoma
City
and
also
sitting
next
to
the
ninth
woman
elected
to
Oklahoma,
City,
City,
Council
and
all
the
women
who
are
a
part
of
our
staff
and
who
helped
to
make
the
city
move.
We
appreciate
your
efforts
and
we
honor
you
this
month
and
with
that
I
do
want
to
say
we
had
our
northeast
Developers
Conference.
E
That
happened
in
the
innovation
district
at
the
gene
Rainbolt
of
School
of
Business,
and
it
was
a
phenomenal
conference
and
a
lot
of
ideas
were
said.
A
lot
of
ideas
heard
about
what
we
would
like
to
see
happen
in
the
northeast
community,
so
be
looking
out
for
the
next
one
as
far
as
just
those
Minds
coming
together
again
and
talking
about
issues
and
also
we
will
be
doing
our
how
to
do
business
with
the
city
of
Oklahoma
City
and
that's
happening
on
April,
the
2nd
at
the
Zoo
Education
Center,
9:00
a.m.
E
A
G
A
little
so
we're
gonna
go
ahead
and
do
this
street
light
presentation
first,
just
to
make
sure
we
can
get
that
one
through
in
the
event
that
we
run
out
of
time,
I'm,
Eric,
wingers,
gonna,
kick
us
off
with
this,
then
Brian.
All
first
gonna
he's
here
to
speak
from
oh
gee,
any
with
the
work
that
we're
doing
in
partnership
to
try
to
make
sure
we're
addressing
the
streetlight
issue
and
the
chief
city
is
also
gonna,
speak
to
some
of
the
issues
we've
got
with
law
enforcement
in
a
relation
to
copper
theft.
G
AE
You
Mary
council,
so
as
we
return
today
to
update
on
the
status
of
streetlights
in
Oklahoma
City,
our
last
update
was
in
January
and
we
talked
about
a
lot
of
different
issues
and
so
I
think
what
you're
gonna
find
in
the
presentation
today
is
we're
gonna
be
able
to
update
on
the
repair
status
as
city
manager
mentioned.
We
do
have
representatives
from
OG&E
and
also
Police
Chief
Bill
city.
That's
here
to
talk
about
wire
theft.
I
think
is,
as
we
get
ready
to
open
up.
AE
So
much
of
what
has
been
done
in
Oklahoma
City
regarding
lighting
has
been
a
partnership,
and
so
we've
had
a
lot
of
City
Department
of
omote
trying
to
get
to
the
bottom
of
some
of
the
issues.
We're
also
working
very
very
closely
with
OG&E
on
the
status
of
the
repairs,
and
so
as
we
get
ready
to
go
through
the
presentation.
We're
going
to
talk
about
the
city.
Streetlights
we're
gonna
talk
about
the
highway
lighting,
we're
also
going
to
talk
about
the
downtown
p180
lighting,
the
copper
theft
and
then
also
how
to
report
on
outages.
AA
AH
But
before
I
start
just
very
quickly,
I
want
to
stepped
out,
but
I
wanted
to
thank
both
councilmen.
She,
the
Councilwoman
sire
for
their
service
I,
hope
they
both
feel
they've
left
the
city
a
better
place
that,
from
one
residents
perspective
I
believe
they
have
and
I
appreciate
it.
We
appreciate
it:
Oh
Jeannie,
Brian,
Alford,
321,
North,
Harvey
on
behalf
of
Oklahoma
Gas
and
Electric.
What
I'd
like
to
do
this
morning
is,
except
give
you
an
update
on
where
we
are
from
a
street
lighting
perspective.
AH
I,
think
it's
something
that
has
has
all
of
our
full
attention
and
it's
something
that
we're
working
diligently
on.
As
Eric
said,
we
are
working
in
partnership,
we're
talking
frequently,
if
not
daily,
on
the
issues
that
are
confronting
us.
What
I'd
like
to
do
is
just
to
kind
of.
First
give
you
a
sense.
One
of
the
questions
that
we
more
often
get.
The
knot
is
how
big,
when
we
talk
about
streetlights.
What
are
we
talking
about?
System-Wide?
A
AH
A
AH
AH
Street
lights
very
few
streetlights
are
metered.
Typically,
what
will
happen?
Is
you
mentioned
the
3%
franchise
fee
from
OG&E?
In
addition,
a
genie
also
provides
a
percentage
of
free
service
to
the
cities,
and
so
what
you
typically
see
is
the
cities
will
use
their
free
service
allotment
to
offset
that
cost
of
those
streetlights,
but
they
are
not
as
I
understand,
they're,
not
individually
metered.
They
don't
have.
We
don't
have
meters
on
on
circuits,
but
when
you
you
look
at
a
streetlight,
it
consumes
typically
the
same
amount
of
power
day
in
and
day
out.
AH
AH
There's
not
as
we
transition
to
LED
technology,
we
will
use
the
mesh
network
that
we've
installed
for
our
smart
meter
network
across
our
footprint.
The
lights
will
have
a
communicating
card
within
them
that
will
communicate
via
that
network,
and
so
then
that
mapping
starts
to
become
possible.
Is
there.
AH
K
AH
K
D
AH
K
AH
That's
correct
the
when
you,
when
you
think
about
reporting
a
streetlight
outage,
it's
very
much
like
reporting
an
outage
10
years
ago
on
our
system.
When
we
had
a
storm
come
through
and
you
lost
power
at
your
home.
You
had
to
give
us
a
call
and
say:
hey
I'm.
Without
power,
as
your
neighbors
did
the
same
thing,
we
would
be
able
to
build
an
outage
map
and
know
where
to
send
our
crews
and
get
them
to
the
right
place
to
make
the
repair
today
that
still
the
type
of
system
we
have
related
to
streetlights.
AH
A
Well,
we're
inventory
the
types
of
lights
we've
got
out
there
there's
one
may
seemingly
major
category
that
wasn't
really
Inchon
specifically
and
in
the
last
presentation
or
on
this
slide,
and
that
is
lights
on
traffic
lights,
fresh
seemed
to
be
at
virtually
every
intersection
in
Oklahoma
City.
They
are.
What
are
those
lights
on
traffic.
AH
Have
a
process
in
place
that
we
work
through
with
the
city?
It's
it's!
It's
a
it's
a
joint!
You
know
project
when,
if
you
will,
when
those
lights
go
out,
you
know
because
they're
signaled
and
sometimes
the
infrastructure
to
those
lights.
My
understanding
actually
is
behind
a
panel
that
the
city
we
need
to
work
with
you
all
to
get
access
to
to
effect
repairs,
but
typically
will
work
on
those
bulbs
on
behalf
of
the
city.
A
A
AH
To
that
point,
we
we
install
major
minor
street
lights
across
our
footprint
that
includes
major
arteries
neighborhoods
those
types
of
places
on
the
highways,
Oh
dot,
actually
installs
the
infrastructure
and
will
Commission
that
to
the
city
which
retains
ownership
of
those
assets.
Now
before
the
Commission
or
before
the
C
actually
takes
possession
of
those
lights,
they
they
have
to
be
in
good
working
order
before
you
all
to
to
receive
them,
but
OH
dot
will
Commission
those
to
you
all,
and
then
we
actually
will
step
in
on
the
maintenance
side.
AH
So
I
don't
know
if
you
all
had
a
chance
to
talk
about
the
extent
of
the
damaged
copper
stave
theft
has
caused.
You
know
this
is
very
reminiscent
of
an
issue
that
we
had
in
2006,
where
we
went
through
a
very
similar
issue.
At
that
particular
point,
thieves
were
actually
cutting
into
our
electric
substations.
They
were
chaining
their
trucks,
to
underground
copper,
ground
wire
to
the
trucks
and
then
vehicle
would
physically
pull
that
copper
out
of
the
ground,
and
they
would
they
would
drag
it
off,
and
you
know
that
created
exponential
problems.
AH
It
just
happened
to
also
be
in
the
middle
of
the
summer.
We
would
have
widespread
outages,
you
put
people
at
risk,
it
was,
but
this
is
very
akin
to
that.
It's
epidemic
that
we've
seen
this
and
it
was
epidemic
then,
but
the
epidemic
has
now
just
taken
on
a
different
face.
Wichita
Kansas
has
seen
this
problem.
Tulsa
has
seen
this
problem,
you
know
we're
have
now
experienced
this
problem,
and
it's
incredible
and
what
you
see
is
these
folks
will
actually
pull
into
a
highway.
AH
They
will
be
in
a
vehicle,
that's
marked
as
if
it
should
be
there.
They
may
even
have
a
flashing
light
on
it.
They
will
have
individuals
that
will
have
safety,
vest
on
and
you'll
have
one
individual
that
cuts
one
end
of
the
line,
secures
it
to
a
truck
and
then
you'll
have
another
individual
who
may
be
a
thousand
or
two
thousand
yards
down
the
way
cut
the
line.
At
that
end,
the
truck
takes
off.
AH
So
some
of
the
things
that
we've
done
to
help
expedite
it
or
affect
as
much
of
these
repairs
as
we
can
as
quickly
as
we
can
we've
looked
across
our
footprint
and
said,
look
anything
that
we
have
from
an
inventory
perspective.
We
want
to
centralize
to
Oklahoma
City
because
of
the
extent
of
this
problem
we're
also
looking
at
REE
conducting
these
lights
as
we
have
to
come
back
in
and
make
these
repairs
we're
transitioning
from
copper
to
aluminum.
That
has
been
helpful.
It
hasn't
been
foolproof.
AH
I
will
tell
you
where
we've
affected
repairs
with
aluminum
we've
seen
the
same
type
of
activity.
They
come
in
they'll
cut
this
time,
though,
as
they
realize
they
don't
have
copper,
they
actually
will
just
cut
it
and
let
it
fall
back
into
the
road,
but
yet
we're
still
faced
with
the
problem
of
having
to
come
back
and,
in
effect,
a
repair.
A
second
time
excuse
me.
F
AH
Yeah
we've
had
a
very
great
working
relationship
with
the
the
chief
I
think
he's
got
some
very
positive
news
on
to
share,
but
no
you're
you're
right
we've
been
looking
at
a
multitude
of
options
and
other
means
that
we
can
bring
to
bear
to
help
stem
this.
This
problem,
real,
quick
just
to
give
you
an
update.
AH
These
maps
are
hard
to
read
I'll
kind
of
just
flow
through
it.
So
you
can
see
north
west.
We
still
have
one
pending
problem
at
Northwest,
Expressway
and
Haffner
on
the
north
on
the
North
quadrant,
you
can
see
there
that
we've
made
progress.
We've
got
four
projects
now
complete
four,
our
pending
repairs
and
there's
really
two
different
categories
here:
there's
what
we
would
call
a
theft
repair
that
we're
making.
So
the
original
cause
of
the
outage
was
was
theft,
there's
also
damage
repairs
that
are
being
affected
as
well.
AH
So
we've
got
four
pending
repairs
on
the
damaged
side,
three
complete
on
the
on
the
North
Side
west.
You
can
see
making
progress.
We've
made
one
we
do
have
three
pending
repairs.
I
will
share
with
you
that
I
forty
west
of
I-44
out
to
Meridian
was
repaired.
My
understanding
it
was
back
down
again
and
it's
boring
so
we're
gonna
have
to
go
back.
We'll
look
at
that
so
and
see
see
what
the
end
result
of
that
that
was
South.
Side
has
really
been
hit
rather
hard.
AH
Through
this,
a
number
of
issues
that
we've
needed
to
address.
We
are
affecting
repairs,
we're
making
progress.
We
still
have
work
to
go,
but
you
can
see
there
I
think
the
easier
way
to
view
these
is
via
the
spreadsheet
that
has
the
red
and
green
and
kind
of
will
tick
down
through
each
of
the
projects
that
we're
working
on
and
their
current
status,
and
you
can
see
there.
These
are
the
theft-related
projects
and
their
current
status
and
the
timeline
for
completion.
AH
So
as
we
are
going
through
the
copper
issues
and
making
these
repairs
and
I'll
say
this
too,
that
copper
theft
is
not
limited
to
our
highways.
We
have
smaller
incidents
across
our
footprint.
It's
we've
had,
unfortunately,
a
individual
was
was
killed
and
in
the
process
of
stealing
copper
last
fall.
It's
it's
extraordinarily
dangerous,
but
yet
we
can.
We
continue
to
see
it.
We
saw
it
the
very
similar
situations,
2006
but
very
dangerous,
and
we're
working
to
again
get
on
top
of
it,
but
as
we're
going
through
this
we're
also
beginning
the
conversion
to
LED.
AH
We've
got
a
couple
of
projects
here
in
Oklahoma
City.
If
you
want
to
see
the
net
result
of
the
transition,
the
adventure
district
is
an
area.
I
would
encourage
you
to
visit
at
night.
I
would
also
encourage
you
to
visit
the
innovation
district,
where
we've
also
installed
LEDs
we're
also
beginning
process
of
installing
some
from
one
offs
across
the
city.
The
city
of
Bethany
also
has
a
significant
stretch
through
66
through
Bethany.
If
again
to
see
the
the
effect.
A
AH
So
there
may
be
some
occasion
across
some
areas
where
they
may
be
out
for
perhaps
a
little
longer,
just
because
of
the
inventory
issue,
when
we
also
when
we
affect
us
change,
when
we
make
this
change
out,
I
wish
it
was
as
simple
as
going
out
and
unscrewing
an
old
bulb
and
screwing
a
new
one
in
like
we
do
at
the
house,
but
unfortunately,
the
way
the
system
is
designed.
Our
system
is
the
existing
infrastructure
as
a
much
higher
voltage
than
LED
requires,
thus
the
benefit
of
LED
using
less
electricity.
AH
The
positives,
the
positives
one
you're
going
to
consume
less
energy.
Those
bulbs
are
going
to
have
a
longer
lifespan.
Ultimately,
why
are
less
maintenance?
These
lights
will
actually
be
interconnected
to
our
mesh
network,
so
we'll
actually
be
able
to
see
them,
and
when
they
do
go
out,
that
reporting
will
be
a
real-time.
So
you
won't
any
longer
have
to
have
to
rely
on
a
manual
process
to
report
that
outage
we'll
be
able
to
see
it,
get
it
into
a
queue
and,
in
effect,
that
repair,
but.
AH
The
LED
you
know
the
transition
to
aluminum
will
will
help
minimize
copper
set.
The
led
transition
will
not
it
just.
It
will
become
a
cleaner
light.
From
my
perspective,
more
user-friendly.
From
my
perspective,
you'll
transition
away
from
this
traditional
I
call.
It
baby
ask
for
an
orange
kind
of
light
to
a
more
daylight
oriented
le
there.
AH
You
know,
I,
don't
know
that
there
is
a
hard
and
fast
timeline.
Now,
not
all
wiring
will
be
transition
right
now,
we're
going
to
focus
on
transitioning,
highway
lighting
from
copper
to
aluminum
when
we
need
to
effect
those
changes,
I
don't
know
that
will
arbitrarily
go
out
just
given
the
cost
of
going
out
and
Rican
duck
Turing
these
projects,
you
know
what
we'll
focus
on
now
is
mitigating
the
copper
theft
trying
to
limit
the
ways
that
individuals
can
actually
get
in
and
and
steal
the
copper.
A
A
AJ
AI
We
for
the
completion
in
summer
2019
its
current
note,
so
as
additional
theft
occurs,
which
it
may
or
may
not.
The
timeline
will
have
to
be
assessed
at
that
time,
based
on
the
damage
and
we
are
going
through
and
working
with
the
city,
as
well
as
with
ODOT
trying
to
partner
up
we're,
putting
and
stickers
other
deterrents
other
theft,
protection
devices
on
or
they're
pulling
the
copper
or
the
aluminum.
The
wire
out
there.
W
I
R
R
R
We've
done
a
pretty
good
job
of
keeping
the
lights
based
on
the
experience
we
had
from
some
of
the
city
employees
and
some
of
the
experience
that
we
had
within
OG&E
since
then,
we've
kind
of
had
an
experience,
gap,
retirements
and
whatnot,
and
then
this
rash
of
thefts.
So
that's
really
never
been
an
issue
in
the
past
and
with
the
new
technology.
Hopefully
it
won't
be
an
issue
in
the
future.
R
J
R
Don't
know
if
I
would
think,
but
initially
it
did
because
we
again
like
Brian,
said
the
2006
theft
that
we
experienced.
There
was
a
lot
of
I.
Think
progress
made
I,
don't
know
if
it's
relaxed
of
a
procedure
or
whatever
the
case
is
but
I
think
chief
city's
going
to
be
able
to
tell
you
that
if
there
was
any
lakhs
from
the
recyclable
people
that
that's
been
addressed
now
and
I,
think
it's
they'll
be
very
cautious
on
who
they
deal
with
now.
I.
AH
Will
say:
there's
there's
been
some
additional
efforts,
this
legislative
session,
to
strengthen
those
even
further
so
I'm
hopeful
for
that,
but
I'm
not
sure
that
it
will.
The
legislation
is
going
to
move
that
it
had
been
had
been
noted
and
there
was
I
believe
a
House
member
from
a
Norman
that
was
actually
moving.
D
AH
AH
Real
quickly,
just
to
give
you
a
sense
of
and
councilman's
back
to
you
to
your
question
related
to
metrics,
we
have
become
much
more
effective
in
measuring
our
ability
to
get
these
lights,
changed,
get
them
changed
in
an
orderly
fashion
and
to
provide
metrics
for
both
ourselves
and
our
contractors.
Today
we
look
at
a
all-in
typical
truck
repair
time
of
about
ten
days.
Thirty,
two
percent
of
the
of
those
repairs
that
we
do
make
are
four
days
or
less,
and
if
you
look
to
the
far
right,
the
the
tall
orange
bar
is
our
on-time
percentage.
AH
The
blue
is
the
gap
that
we
still
have
yet
to
close,
we're
not
hitting
a
hundred
percent
on
our
metrics,
but
we're
getting
close,
we're
continuing
to
push
for
improvement
in
those
metrics.
We've
brought
on
additional
resources
contractor
resources
to
help
again
with
the
issues
here
that
we're
seeing
in
Oklahoma
City.
So
we've
we've
got
the
inventory
as
much
as
the
inventory
as
we
can.
We
brought
in
and
we've
added
additional
human
capital
at
for
the
problem,
so.
A
You
know
it
sounds
like
you're
on
top
of
it
right
and
then
and
yet
I
get
these
continuing
messages,
I
reported
and
then
I
report
it
again
and
then
I
reported
again
and
then
I
was
told
it
was
closed
and
then
I,
but
it
was
still
out
and
then
I
reported
again.
Where
do
I
take
these
because
obviously
I'm
gonna
loss
when
I
get
these
these
kind
of
comments
and
messages
where
do
I
take
these.
It
can
I,
maybe
make
a
new
friend
today
and
we
you.
AH
Know
we've
we've
had
very
robust
conversations
with
the
city
about
how
we
capture
that
collectively
because
of
the
issues
of
ownership.
We
understand
that
we
have
made
a
commitment
to
begin
meeting
on
a
very
regular
basis
face
to
face
sitting
down
and
walking
through
each
of
these
situations.
So
we
all
understand
where
we
are
what
the
current
state
is.
If
we
are
having
an
issue,
if
there's
going
to
be
an
issue,
we
understand
what
those
are,
and
you
know
hopefully
begin
to
deliver
that
information
more
real-time
to
you
all
end
to
our
customers.
AH
AH
M
M
We
eric
has
a
group
that
meets
with
downtown
oklahoma
city
and
city
manager's
office
and
someone,
and
they
meet
every
Thursday
to
talk
about
issues
that
are
out
there.
I
mean
I,
don't
think
it
works
to
just
say
we're
gonna
get
together
whatever
you
know,
you
have
to
have
a
day
in
a
date
in
a
time
and
a
commitment,
we.
G
That
may
not
continue
that
way,
but
our
plan
right
now
I
think,
would
be
that
we'd
be
able
to
sit
down
a
meet
once
a
week
and
have
discussions
to
make
sure,
because
there
can
be
times
two
that
there's
the
infrastructure
issues
that
we
need
to
address
on
our
side
that
isn't
being
addressed
and
we
need
to
make
sure
nothing's
falling
through
the
cracks
in
the
process
right.
So.
A
G
But
there
are
some
parts
of
it
where
it
may
be:
infrastruc
that
we're
responsible
for
and
I
know
there
was
one
we're
looking
at
I
think
that
you'd
ask
about
at
120
second
after
Parkway,
but
it
sounds
like
there's
some
conduit,
that's
been
broken
that
we
have
a
problem:
that's
reinstalling,
some
of
the
electricity
that
goes
in
that
because
it
affects
the
light
signals
as
well
and
so
we're
in
the
process
on
that.
That's
one,
that's
on
us
and
I
will
have
a
contractor.
That
does
that.
G
And
I
think
that's
one
of
the
issues
is
that
that's
one
of
the
reasons
we
want
to
be
sitting
down
right
now
and
meeting
regularly,
because
we
do
have
communications
between
OGE
staff
and
Public
Works
staff
on
a
regular
basis.
But
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
meeting
and
reviewing
all
of
these
issues
to
make
sure
nothing's
falling
through
the
cracks.
And
so
it's
one
where
oh
Jenny
is
who
we
contact
if
there's
an
outage.
K
G
They
would
have
the
same
process,
I
mean
we
could
we
can
handle
that
through.
You
know,
bringing
it
back
to
Public
Works
and
we
can
call
it
and
honestly
anyone,
whether
you're,
a
city,
employee
or
police
officer
firefighter
whoever
it
is.
If
you're
out
there,
you
see
an
outage,
you
can
make
contact
with
oh
geez,
you
know
with
their
reporting
mechanism.
Anyone
can
do
that.
So.
AI
H
K
W
A
E
A
question
after
day
ten:
where
does
the
accountability
lie
on
the
person
that
called
that
in
in
the
first
place?
Or
is
it
a
genie
that
contacts
that
customer
to?
Let
them
know
you
know
we
understand,
we
haven't
met
that
they
tend,
but
we
are
still
working
on
your
issue
instead
of
the
customer
having
to
continually
call
back
that.
AH
AI
With
my
lighting
team
I'm
constantly
looking
at
past
due
and
past
you
tickets,
which
would
be
that
greater
than
ten
days
it
does,
it
is
contingent
upon
how
the
ticket
is
worked
in
the
different
processes.
You
know
we
go
out
there
and
we
do
our
our
first
troubleshooting
of
it.
It
may
need
underground
repairs,
may
get
the
underground
one
and
then
determine
it's
a
different
fix
as
well.
AI
There
could
be
a
combination
of
fixes
that
are
required,
so
it
depends
on
the
process
that
it
takes,
but
we
do
constantly
monitor
the
overdue
and
the
past
dues
making
sure
that
we
minimize
those
and
are
on
top
level
as
as
fast
as
we
can
be.
So
we,
the
short
answer,
is
we,
as
a
lighting
team,
are
looking
at.
Those
are.
AI
AH
AI
AH
The
thing
I
would
add
there
too
is
that
often
times
the
the
outage
ticket
is
not
tied
to
a
particular
customer
account.
You
may
have
someone
who
calls
in
a
particular
location
and
lets
us
know
it's
out,
but
there's
no
formal
tie
back
to
that
customer
account.
So
we
really
don't
know
at
that
point
who
we're
getting
in
touch
with
so,
but
you
will
get
calls
and
say:
hey
you
guys
know
you
have
a
light
out
here
and
here,
but
we
can't
tie
that
back
to
the
customer
account
I.
G
At
the
end
of
this,
that
Eric's
gonna
talk
about
project,
180
lights
and
we'll
talk
about
the
copper
theft
too,
but
really
is
a
partnership
between
Oklahoma,
City
and
and
OG&E
working
together.
To
try
to
address
this
issue
and
and
we're
all
committed
to
staying
on.
Top
of
this
thing
give
mr.
crest
very.
AE
AE
This
would
be
around
either
I-235
I,
44,
I,
35
I
to
40
or
now
also
at
I-35,
I
44,
when
construction
occurs
on
those
highway
systems,
o
dot
and
as
a
part
of
their
construction
do
take
those
lights
that
are
existing
out
of
service.
While
they
do
that
road
work,
so
it
doesn't
have
anything
to
do
with
copper
theft
or
an
outage.
AE
It
just
happens
to
do
with
planned
construction
or
reconstruction
of
a
particular
interchange,
from
an
update
from
where
we
are
at
from
what
you
were
just
shown,
I'm
and
presented
by
OG&E
since
our
January
time
frame
50%
of
the
work
that's
on
those
on
those
okey.
Any
wire
theft
have
been
completed
on
the
infrastructure
projects
about
35
percent
of
those
have
been
completed
since
we
first
updated
in
January,
so
there's
been
some
progress,
but
obviously
total
completions
not
expected
until
later
this
spring
and
into
the
summer.
AE
As
we
finish,
the
second
half
of
all
of
that
work
took
a
little
bit
more
comment
on
some
of
the
council
comments
regarding
theft.
We
are
looking
not
just
at
the
aluminum
wire
and
at
the
stickering
of
the
poles
to
make
sure
that
poles
that
are
converted
or
clearly
marked
as
having
aluminum
wire,
hopefully
to
eliminate
that
theft.
AE
But
we
are
securing
those
copper
theft
box
covers
as
a
part
of
city
contracting,
and
we
did
have
a
meeting
with
Oklahoma
Department
of
Transportation
to
get
their
approval
to
install
them
on
all
of
the
ODOT
highway
poles
as
well.
So
significant
progress
was
made
where
originally
that
wasn't
going
to
be
possible.
That
is
not
possible,
so
we
are
in
the
process
of
contracting
with
and
getting
those
covers
sooner
than
later
to
get
those
on
all
the
new
installations.
AE
There
is
the
one
area
of
project
180
that
we
discussed.
That
is
not
an
OG&E
light.
It's
not
a
Jeanie
maintained,
I
mean
it
is
specific
to
project
180
I
mean
we
do
have
a
number
of
lighting
outages
that
it
continue
downtown
when
we
updated
on
this
about
a
year
ago,
when
we
first
had
those
first
reports
of
widespread
outages,
we
really
had
a
lot
of
trouble,
trying
to
figure
out
what
was
happening
and
what
the
end
result
was
is
that
a
lot
of
those
early,
p180
lights
were
coming
up
on
their
age.
AE
They're,
the
older
high
pressure
sodium
or
the
metal
halide
lighting
systems
that
simply,
after
five
six
seven
years
were
starting
to
fail.
We
did
an
initial
surge
last
and
replaced
all
those
only
to
have
additional
lights
fail.
There
are
about
700
project,
180
lights
in
our
downtown
area
and
they're
in
two
categories,
and
so
I've
kind
of
put
this
diagram
together
with
staffs
help.
These
are
the
totals
that
are
starting
to
fail.
We
have
169
total
street
lights
that
are
gonna,
be
converted
to
LED
technology
very
similar
to
what
we
were
just
discussing
with
OG&E.
AE
AE
Led
fixture
council
approved
a
contract
with
that
vendor
in
December
and
we're
now
receiving
those
upgrades
to
start
those
immediately,
and
so
there's
a
hundred
and
sixty
nine
of
those
that
we're
starting
to
receive
that
product
for
and
get
those
in
place,
the
lower
light
or
the
one
that
you
see
there
on
the
middle
of
that
pole
is
actually
an
existing
LED
fixture,
but
we
found
a
manufacturing
defect
with
those.
So
many
of
those
are
out,
and
sometimes,
as
Councilwoman
had
mentioned,
they
flicker
those
are
being
replaced
20
at
a
time.
AE
We're
sending
back
the
the
fixtures
to
the
manufacturer
to
have
them
re--
warranty,
but
they're,
basically
replacing
those.
We
have
this
similar
schedule
to
have
these
all
replaced
by
summer
of
2019,
so
LED
upgrades
we
do
have
some
downtown
outages.
Some
are
very
significant.
There
are
also
downtown
a
few
that
are
due
to
construction,
so
I
think
as
part
of
presentations
and
things
that
you
heard
this
morning
about
first
national,
as
we
start
to
work
on
some
of
the
final
p180
packages
where
we're
doing
the
streetscape.
AE
So
we
are
having
to
take
a
certain
number
of
lights
out
of
service.
One
thing
that
we're
recognizing
is
that,
even
though
we
take
a
light
out
of
service
and
it
knocks
out
an
entire
block,
whether
or
not
we
should
be
thinking
about
partially
powering
a
block
that
is
totally
affected,
is
there
a
way
to
temporarily
power
it
even
during
construction
it
so
we're
gonna,
look
at
that
opportunity.
So.
D
AE
AE
Right
now
we're
on
the
same
schedule
as
OG&E
to
have
those
done
summer
of
2019,
so
the
ones
that
are
at
the
top
and
I'll
kind
of
show.
We
were
originally
using
our
city
street
crews.
To
do
these
repairs,
we
are
finding
that
we
can
cannot
keep
up
with
our
existing
crews,
and
so
we
have
recently
received
some
quotes
from
some
of
our
contracting
partners
in
Oklahoma
City.
These
would
be
vendors
electricians
that
are
under
current
city
contracts
to
help
us
expedite
that
process.
So
we
are
making
that
change
to
supplement
with
contractors.
AE
This
is
what
that
LED
upgrade
looks
like
so.
The
light
will
not
look
different
when
it's
installed.
We
simply
take
the
old
Hardware
out
of
the
light
we
put
the
new
hardware
into
the
light,
but
with
the
numbers
that
we're
talking
about
more
than
200,
it's
just
a
matter
of
taking
some
time
to
get
into
the
downtown
area
to
get
those
opened
up
and
those
replaced,
and
so
that's
where
the
additional
contracting
crews
are
gonna,
be
most
beneficial
and.
AE
Are
not
having
a
copper
issue
in
the
downtown
area
you
know
now
there
will
be
some
existing
lights.
That
will
are
going
to
begin
to
fail,
they're
going
to
be
in
the
later
project
180
packages
that
are
the
older
technology.
We
plan
to
then
upgrade
them
to
LED
as
they
fail.
So
we
will
continue
to
can
order.
Those
LED
products
make
sure
that
we
get
those
switched
out,
and
we
to
think
that
after
summer
of
nineteen,
that
we
should
not
have
this
problem
any
longer.
You
want
anyway
also
be
complete.
Your.
M
AE
We
have
so
there
is
some
final
p180
packages
that
we
are
installing
some
of
the
newer
LED
lights
and
it's
just
a
part
of
package.
Eight,
that's
not
100%
complete,
so
a
lot
of
the
work
is
going
to
be
finalized
and
the
lights
that
we
can
upgrade
the
old
five
globe.
Fixtures
that
are
no
longer
functioning.
We
do
have
a
few
of
those
on
the
schedule
to
have
those
replaced.
Yes,
those.
AE
AE
We
are
focused
and
not
to
have
driven
the
downtown
area
to
seize
a
lot
of
the
dark
blocks
and
a
lot
of
it
either
because
of
light
outages
that
we
discussed
or
due
to
construction.
We're
gonna
look
to
expedite
some
of
the
darker
areas
first
as
much
as
possible,
and
this
is
what
that
looks
like.
So,
as
we
look
at
these
these
areas
around
just
the
north
side
of
City
Hall,
we
have
got
pending
repairs
on
about
half
of
the
area.
AE
That's
around
City
Hall
in
the
Civic
Center,
and
when
we
look
at
the
area
around
the
federal
courthouse,
McGhee
Coeur,
the
the
red
is,
what's
in
hand,
repair
the
yellows.
What's
currently
in
progress
is
so
you
can
see.
Are
we're
wanting
to
expedite
this
as
much
as
possible,
and
the
additional
contractors
are
what
are
going
to
help
make
that
happen.
AE
This
is
the
area:
that's
around
John
Rex
Elementary
around
married
mechanical
gardens,
south
of
city
hall,
south
on
Main
Street,
south
of
Sheridan
you'll,
see
we're
about
50%
in
this
area
right
now,
but
then,
as
we
go
into
the
other
downtown
areas
like
Cox,
everything
in
red
is
what
is
currently
out.
So
you
can
see
everything
north
of
Sheraton,
including
that
Broadway
section
and
those
are
some
of
the
not
yet
upgraded
fixtures
but
you'll,
see
on
Robinson.
We
do
not
have
that
work
completed
on
Robinson,
Park,
Sheridan
or
even
portions
of
Reno
at
this
time.
AE
So
we
recognize
that
and
again
we're
going
to
be
applying
some
additional
forces.
This
next
section,
copper
theft,
was
a
major
item,
had
to
come
up
at
the
last
presentation
and
we
did
not
have
all
the
materials
ready.
Chief
city
has
an
update
today
on
copper
theft
and
some
of
the
things
that
Oklahoma
City
police
have
been
able
to
offer.
AK
AK
The
first
three
bullets
there,
where
we've
added
a
second
position
to
metal
theft,
unit
impact
units
using
them
for
targeted
investigations,
compliance
and
then
a
proposed
city
ordinance.
I'll
go
back
to
pertain
to
council
Mac
a
tease
question
back
in
2006.
We
did
work
to
get
state
law
changed
so
that
it
would
actually
make
recyclers
the
buyers
more
responsible,
because
really
I
mean
we
can't
catch
person's
committing
metal
thefts
very
easily.
But
we
can
control
what
we
recyclers
can
self
enforce.
They
can
self
police
themselves,
but
we
have
to
hold
them
accountable.
AK
So
we
got
the
state
laws,
change
that
made
a
lot
of
requirements
statewide
and
we
wanted
it
statewide
because
it
doesn't
do
much
good
just
to
pass
city
ordinances
because
they'll
go
outside
our
County
to
another
city
and
if
it's
not
state
law,
so
then
all
they
have
to
do
is
steal.
Here
and
go
there,
so
we
worked
very
hard
with
state
legislators
to
get
some
ordinances
passed.
AK
That
would
allow
us
to
make
recyclers
really
take
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
things
they
have
to
do
like
a
person
has
to
provide
an
ID
they
just
can't
buy
from
somebody.
They
can't
identify
that
to
take
a
picture
of
that
ID,
whether
it's
a
state
ID
or
a
driver's
license
some
type
of
government
ID,
and
they
have
to
take
a
picture
of
that.
So
we'll
have
that
documented
in
case
that
stuff
comes
up
stolen.
They
also
have
to
take
a
picture
of
the
items
they
purchase.
AK
They
also
have
to
have
the
person
that's
selling
in
sign
a
disclaimer,
that
it
is
they
they
do
own
it.
The
copper
and
they're
selling
it
so
that
we
can
come
back
and
hold
them
criminally
responsible
if
they
did
sell
something
that
we
later
find
out
is
stolen.
We
do
the
same
thing
and
has
been
in
place
for
years
with
pawn
shops.
So
it's
just
a
it's
just
a
disclaimer
saying:
I
do
own
this.
AK
There
are
certain
items
that
we
also
passed
on
state
law.
That
said,
you
can't
sit.
You
can't
buy
certain
items,
I.
Think
catalytic
converters
were
one
of
them
at
the
time,
because
in
2006
they
were
just
through
the
roof,
and
so
a
few
items
were
just
absolutely:
you
cannot
buy
by
state
law.
You
can't
you
kick
that
recyclers
cannot
purchase
4,
gauge,
copper
and
I
believe
4
gauge
coppers.
A
AK
It's
all
about
how
much
copper
costs
copper
was
twice
as
much
in
2006
than
it
is
today.
It's
still
it's
still
valuable,
especially
when
you're
rolling
up
rolls
of
it
down
the
highway
you're,
making
a
lot
of
money
and
still
valuable
still,
but
it's
not
as
it
went
down
as
a
result
of
that,
but
we
were
also
very,
very
aggressive
back
in
2006
and
7
when
we
got
the
state
law
passed
because
we
brought
tulip
to
that
to
the
council
at
companion
city
ordinance.
AK
So
we
could
write
city
based
on
what
the
state
of
state
law
was.
We
have
city
ordinance
where
we
could
just
issue
citations
to
the
recyclers
in
the
city
and
not
have
to
not
have
to
arrest
them
and
go
through
state
charges.
We
can
still
file
state
charges
on
the
for
gage
if
a
recycler
purchases
that
so.
AK
They
would
even
come
in
from
out
of
state
and
open
up
shop
for
for
the
weekend
because
we
didn't
have.
We
didn't
have
requirements
in
place
to
document
it
they
in
all
that,
so
it
like
with
pawn
shops,
we
have
a,
we
have
a
program
called
leads
online,
and
so
that's
that's
all
digital,
it's
all
electronic
and
they
have
to
submit
everything
they
sell
and
buy.
Well
with
with
the
state
law
written
the
way
it
is,
and
with
our
city
ordinance,
we
can
run
our
our
recyclers
to
have
that
same
program
in
place.
AK
It's
free
to
recyclers.
We
can
require
them
to
have
it
in
place
and
to
submit
all
that
to
us
electronically
makes
it
much
easier
because
we
can
do
it
electronically.
We
can
start
looking
for
items
that
we
know
have
been
stolen.
The
other
side
of
that
is
we're
working
very
closely
with
ODOT
and
with
OG&E,
because
the
important
thing
is
it
has
to.
It
needs
to
be
reported.
If
we
it's
not
reported,
then
we
don't
know
about
it.
AK
Then
we
can't
check
it
and
so
we're
good
we're
going
to
we're
finding
a
mechanism
and
we're
taught
I
was
talking
to
Pat
to
talk
about
finding
a
better
mechanism
and
making
sure
that
that
kind
of
stuff
gets
reported
to
the
extent,
and
maybe
even
our
officers
in
the
field,
if
I
lights
out
have
a
mechanism
in
place
where
they
can
report
that
light
to
them,
something
they
may
not
be
aware
of,
because
it
is
a
public
safety
issue
if
the
lights
out.
So
there's
a
lot
of
things.
AK
If
that
explains,
you
know
kind
of
what
you
were
asking
back
in
2006,
we
did
create
a
city
ordinance
and
companion
to
that.
But
now
one
thing
we
will
bring
to
you
and
you
can
see
up
here
where
we're
a
proposed
city,
ordinance
amendment
that
will
include
4
gauge.
The
thing
that's
left
out
of
our
city
ordinance
is,
it
doesn't
include
4
gauge,
it
will
include
10
11
12
gauge,
but
it
does
include
4
gauge.
The
other
thing
the
state
law
does
in
our
city.
AK
Ordinance
does
is
that
if
you're
going
to
sell,
if
you're
going
to
sell
cop
or
you're
to
sell
certain
items,
you
have
to
be
a
licensed
contractor
of
some
point.
You
have
to
be
able
to
show
that
you
have
to
say
I'm
a
licensed
contractor
a
builder
I
have
this
material
on
a
regular
basis
and
but
then
they
still
have
to
go
through
and
show
ID
and
they
take.
The
recycler
has
to
take
those
pictures.
Well,
none
of
this
works.
AK
If
we,
if
it
was
a
lot
of
horsemen
agency,
aren't
proactive
and
go
out
and
check
them.
So
what
was
happening
is
the
city.
Orders
are
still
in
place.
Why
say
Pat
didn't
throw
us
under
the
bus
is
because,
because
we
we
dropped
that
down
to
one
person
which
was
overwhelmed
and
couldn't
be
proactive
in
making
those
checks,
since
this
and
and
since
this-
and
we
added
another
person
back
to
that
unit
and
we
are
going
to
be
proactive
because
the
key
is
keeping
the
recyclers
from
buying
it.
AK
It's
not
going
to
keep
thefts
completely
down
because,
like
I
said
before,
they
can
sell
in
other
places,
but
we
have
to
be
more
aggressive.
We
put
more
resources
in
being
proactive
in
going
out
because,
if
you
can
see
once
we
turn,
let's
go
to
the
next
slide.
You
can
see
here
we
did
a
a
week-long
compliance
investigation.
What
we
did
is
we.
We
solicited
the
help
of
our
impact
units
and
divisions
to
do
some
undercover
work.
They
would
go
in
and
try
to
sell
copper
and
do
things
like
that.
AK
They
also
went
in
did
some
compliance
checks.
When
we
had
not
that
we
have
13
recyclers
in
Oklahoma,
City
well
out
of
nine
scrap
metal
dealers,
we
cited
we
cited
them
for
purchase
of
burnt
copper,
because
you
cannot
that
no
matter
who
you
are
is
even
with
a
contractor.
You
cannot
sell,
copper,
copper
has
a
wrapping
around
it.
It
seals
it
if
that's
burned
off
and
they
can't
buy
it
a
lot
of
cases.
AK
The
the
the
the
covering
is
is
really
marked,
and
so
you
can
identify
who
the
owner
of
it
is,
or
at
least
who
the
manufacturer
is.
So
we
had
purchased,
subverted
copper.
We
had
purchase
of
street
signs
and,
as
I
said
before,
we
had
purchase
of
copper
greater
than
four
gauge.
That's
that's
strictly
prohibited
to
purchase
under
state
law,
so
they
were
violating
state
law.
AK
At
that
time,
we're
going
to
make
sure
we
could
also
write
them
for
city
ordinance,
but
we
have
that
state
law
and
they
were
violating
that
but
and
they're
going
to
continue
to
violate
things.
If
they
can
get
away
with
it.
We
have
to
be
more
vigilant
in
requiring
them
and
proper
documentation.
We
have
to
be
checking
with
them
on
a
regular
day
basis.
We
had
two
people
aside
in
2006.
AK
When
things
were
epidemic
Horseman's
we
had,
we
really
went
out
on
a
regular
basis
and
develop
relationships
and
check
them
if
they
know
we're
coming
on
a
random
basis.
They're
gonna
they're
gonna
be
more
apt
to
comply.
Well,
if
they're
not
buying
it,
then
this
the
seller
has
no
market.
It
has
been
work
it
so
it
slows
it
down.
Like
I
say
it
doesn't
eliminate
it.
So
we
have
to
do
a
better
job
of
that.
You
can
see
here.
AK
It
is,
we
know
who
the
person
was,
has
a
history
of
mental
theft,
that
properties
all
that's,
probably
stolen
metal,
and
that
is
currently
under
investigation,
so
things
we
can
do
proactively
also
by
helping
soliciting
the
public's
help
and
things
like
that,
putting
stickers
once
they
go
to
the
aluminum.
Putting
stickers
on
the
on
the
poles
is
really
gonna
help,
even
without
that
you
know
bad
guys
and
crooks,
they
figure
stuff
out
pretty
quick
and
know
where
to
go
and
not
what
know
what
to
waste
their
time
on.
AK
K
AK
Can't
answer
that
I
can
get
that
information
for
you,
I'm,
not
sure
what
that
is,
which
state
law
would
be
would
be
much
much
more
than
via
state
violation
and
if
it's
a
significant,
if
it's
repeated
offenses,
because
we
want
self
compliance
by
recyclers
because
they
can
do
more
of
preventing
that
they
can
do
more
preventing
that
than
we
can't
catch
them.
I
mean.
AK
AK
Can
we
can
look
at
that
I'm,
not
sure
increasing,
that
dollar
amounts
going
to
have
a
huge
effect,
but
we
could
certainly
look
at
that.
I
mean
if
it's
significant
enough,
yes,
I
mean
it
could
be
a
could
be
a
deterrent
Thanks,
but
the
key
is
is
that
we
want
to
disrupt
what
they're
doing
and
it
does
we
don't
see
what
we
don't
see
now.
Is
we
don't
see
a
lot
of
small
fly-by-night
operations
as
a
result
of
the
state
law
being
changed?
It
really
did
help
because
it
does
hold.
AK
The
recyclers
are
the
ones
that
have
to
be,
and
the
recyclers
Association
was
very
supportive
because
legitimate
businesses
don't
want
the
long
pop
businesses
around
taking
business
away
from
them.
They
want
us
to
enforce
them.
So
this
was
a
state
initiative.
We
worked
with
the
State
Association
back
in
recycling
Association
back
in
2006
to
get
all
that
done.
So
it's,
but
we
just
have
to
it's
there.
The
laws
are
there.
We
just
have
to
be
more
vigilant.
D
AK
Lu
with
cell
phones
and
pictures
they're
having
a
pictures,
you
know
very,
very
valuable
and
the
Action
Center
is
a
good
place
to
send
that
if
it's,
if
it's
progress,
if
they
see
somebody
pulling
copper
from
something
that
looks
suspicious,
then
they
need
to
call
911
one.
We
need
to
be
on
it
right
away
so.
A
AK
Doesn't
hurt
to
take
a
picture
and
send
it
to
us
or
yeah?
If
you
just
think
there
looks
it
doesn't
look
right
or
doesn't
look
like
the
right
truck,
you
need
to
call
a
number
one
I
mean
that's
our
job
is
to
go
out
and
check,
see
who
they
are.
I
mean.
That's
you
know,
I
always
encourage
somebody
that
thinks
there's
something
wrong.
It
doesn't
hurt,
call
them
and
may
be
perfectly
legitimate,
but
that's
what
were
there
for
have.
A
A
T
AK
You
know
that's
very
hard
to
do.
I
mean
they're.
Really,
you
know
we
like,
like
they
look
most
people.
Think
of
them,
as
just
you
know,
workers
they
try
to
I,
try
to
look
like
workers
and
wear
the
vest
and
they
do
things
and
they're
pulling
I
mean
normally.
You
would
think.
That's
just
normal.
Well,.
A
AK
Next
slide
really
quickly
to
recent
activities.
T-Mobile
cell
tower
theft,
photographs
were
taken
from
the
from
the
theft
worse
it
to
metal
recyclers.
So
we
took
photographs
of
what
was
stolen,
sent
it
to
the
recyclers
and
said:
do
you
have
this
and
what
they
did
and
we
got
and
because
of
the
law
of
the
way
it
is,
we
have
the
person
identified
that
did
it.
AK
They
had
a
GPS
and
there's
and
we
were
able
to
track
it.
We
had
officers
that
when
they
reported
it,
we
tracked
it
and
we
were
able
to
find
out
who
stole
it,
find
the
merchandise
and
thought
charges
on
them.
So
there's
a
lot
of
different
ways
to
do
that
and
again,
if
we
know
that
there's
a
pattern,
if
we
have
a
system
in
place
where
we're
getting
the
information
either
either
from
og
me
or
from
Public
Works,
we
just
have
to
coordinate.
AK
D
AD
G
G
AK
AE
AE
You
can
also
call
this
telephone
number
that
we
have
on
the
screen
to
seven
to
nine
seven,
four
one
and
when
prompted
say
outage
and
then
say
light
or
dial
six,
and
so
with
that
you
can
report
those
partnership
between
Oakland,
City
and
OG&E.
Should
they
find
that
it's
a
city
on
light
they
will
for
that
automatically
to
Public
Works
so
that
we
can
go
ahead
and
get
that
address
as
a
city.
Oh
my
predominantly
like
a
p180
light
that
might
have
been
accidentally
called
into
OG&E,
but
vice
versa.
AE
AE
Know
we
have
staff
on
both
sides.
I
would
say
that
the
day
that
it
occurs,
I
mean
we're
conveying
at
that
day
to
the
proper
organization.
So
if
we
find
that
it's
was
reported
to
one
and
not
the
other
would
have
that
happen.
So
our
traffic
Operations
Division,
which
does
all
of
our
streetlights
they
also
do
new
streetlight
requests,
are
the
ones
that
communicate
regularly
with
OG&E.
AE
AE
Those
would
be
the
areas
that
were
the
the
copper
thieves
have
damaged
the
infrastructure
and
we
do
have
city
contractors
working
on
those
when
I
mentioned
the
ODOT
construction
projects,
there's
number
of
those
projects
that
I
mentioned
I'm
interstate
projects
that
are
not
they're
not
scheduled
for
completion
until
next
year,
so
those
lights
will
not
come
on
before
that
construction
is
complete,
but
the
p180
lighting
also
is
on
a
summer
completion
schedule.
You
should
start
seeing
some
of
those
those
areas
repaired
and
whites
starting
to
be
restored.
A
G
G
If
we
get
to
the
place
that
we
see,
we
need
someone
else,
I
mean
Eric
and
I
have
talked
about
what
you
and
I
discussed
of
having
make
it
making
sure
we
have
someone,
that's
a
point
person
on
our
side
that
they're
focused
on
streetlights
and
whether
a
primary
contact
I
think
there's
a
few
things
like
that
that
we
can
just
do
within
our
current
staffing.
But
if
we
see
that
we
get
to
a
place
that
we
need
additional
staffing,
additional
resources
will
shortly
certainly
bring
that
back
to
the
council.
Well,.
A
The
expectation
has
really
been
left
here
today
that
by
summer
and
I
recognize
the
summer
goes
all
the
way
to
September,
but
that
by
summer
we're
gonna
basically
be
at
a
much
better
position.
I
mean
I,
don't
you
know
streetlights
never
stop
going
out,
but
not
at
this
epidemic
levels
that
we're
at
so,
if
we're
sitting
here
in
October
and
that
hasn't
changed,
I
think
we're
all
gonna
be
disappointed.
So
all
right,
let's
stay
on
top
of
it.
Will
we
continue
to
have
presentations?
Yes,
yes,.
G
A
G
G
Was
our
second
time
best?
I'm
sorry
I
thought
you're
wrong.
So
it's
our
second
time
to
do
that,
but
we
will
bring
it
back
to
you
and
in
a
commitment
that
will
get
that
completed.
We
also
have
the
March
sales
tax
report
and
the
really
the
point
there
I
think
is
that
for
the
general
fund,
his
sales
tax
in
general
was
down
two
percent
from
last
year,
so
we
missed
target
on
the
budget.
G
We've
seen,
I
think
this
is
the
first
time
in
22
months
and
we've
actually
had
a
decline.
So
something
we've
really
got
to
be
aware
of,
and
even
if
this
isn't
a
sign
that
we're
gonna
see
declining
sales
tax
I
think
it
certainly
is
the
indication
that
we're
gonna
see
it
at
a
lower
level
of
growth
than
what
we've
had
in
the
past.
So
we'll
continue
to
monitor
this
going
forward
still
in
a
real
good
position
with
use.
G
Tax
has
been
very
strong
with
with
especially
with
the
internet
sales
tax
that
we've
been
receiving
and
actually
receive
it
as
a
use
tax,
but
that
still
provided
a
great
performance
for
us
in
this
year,
so
still
well
ahead
target
when
combined
sales
and
use
tax.
But
we
did
see
that
first
month
of
decline
is
something
we've
gotta
monitor.
K
G
G
You
know
the
number
on
that
I'll
have
to
get
that
for
you,
I,
don't
know
the
exact
number
I
looked
at
Owen
Ong.
Lastly,
because
we're
having
a
conversation
on
that-
and
it
was
like
six
million
dollars
and
I
know,
Oh
Jeannie
is
more
than
what
Ong
is
I
would
give
you
a
guess,
but
we
might
be
able
to
get
something
here
pretty
quickly.
Okay,.
G
A
G
O
AC
Item
G
1,
&
2,
that's
the
gold
sale,
so
we
were
selling
30
million
of
our
60
million
that
was
authorized
in
the
2017
gold
bonds,
so
that
will
leave.
You
know
we're
selling
half
of
that
next
day,
happy
to
report.
We
received
10
bids.
Our
final
interest
rate
on
that
was
3.25%
purchased
by
Raymond
James,
so
again
want
to
remind
that
we
are
triple-a.
Rating
was
affirmed
by
both
Moody's
and
S&P,
so
that
definitely
contributes
to
the
good
rate
that
we
got
on
that
we'll
be
closing
on
those
may
7th
items.
AC
H
1,
&
2
is
the
seventy
five
point.
Six
million
dollars
of
Geo
bonds
is
our
regular
tax-exempt
infrastructure
bonds.
We
also
received
ten
bids
on
those
two
point:
eight
eight
percent
interest
rate,
so
very
it
was
bought
by
Morgan
Stanley
and
both
of
those
both
the
gold
and
the
geo
are
both
20-year
bonds.
So
those
are
just
really
outstanding
rates,
especially
in
this
market
environment.
Those
will
close
on
May
7th
as
well.
So
that's
when
the
funds
will
be
available.
So
one
thing
I
do
just
want
to
say
about
item
H.
AC
The
on
the
geo
bonds
is
that
seventy-five
million
is
what
we're
selling
that
we
sold
this
morning.
Forty
four
point:
four
million
of
that
was
from
the
2007
authorizations.
So
this
completes
the
sale
of
the
2007
authorization,
so
that
doesn't
mean
all
the
projects
are
done,
but
all
the
bonds
have
now
been
sold
for
the
2007
vote,
so
31
million
came
from
the
2017
authorizations,
so
we
have
about
eight
hundred
and
thirty,
two
million
left
in
our
2017
authorization
that
will
be
selling
over
the
next
eight
years
or
so
so
with
I
be
happy
to.
G
K
A
Okay,
any
questions
for
Kenny,
if
not
we'll
start
churning
through
the
four

AJ
A
map
or
1301
West,
Hefner,
Road
I,
just
wanted
to
say
I,
was
coming.
I
was
reading
through
Twitter
this
weekend
about
the
whole
light
drama
thing
and
after
she
did
talk,
it's
kind
of
eye-opening
but
Iook
licked
I
was
coming
in
off
of
I-40
taken
I-40
under
35
and
the
lights
are
out
there
and
you
know,
and
I
decided
to
drive
around
downtown
exactly
what
lights
were
off
and
it
was
concerning
to
me
cuz.
AJ
You
know
you
figure,
there's
a
couple
here,
but
there's
stretches
of
them
off
whether
they
be
project
180
rather
elides,
and
what
was
really
concerning
to
me
is
I,
went
to
exit
downtown
Boulevard
and
all
those
lights
were
off.
It
wasn't
just
one
or
two:
it
was
at
stretch
on
the
west
side
of
Oakland,
City,
Boulevard
or
the
west
part
are
completely
off
and
I
know
that
a
lot
of
people
are
saying.
AJ
Well,
it's
copper,
theft
or
hardware,
and
it's
just
to
me
as
a
Oklahoma
faces,
and
you
know:
I
live
off
Hefner
and
Western,
and
you
know
I've
been
told
that
you
know
a
lot
of
times
not
through
announcement
but
through
other
people.
Who've
been
here
a
long
time,
oh
well,
we
have
to
work
on
downtown
downtown
used
to
be
a
crow
or
whatever,
and
you
know
I
push
a
lot
of
people
like
well.
I
hope
you
know,
the
maps
beat
your
Maps,
though
we
can
see
more
projects.
AJ
You
know
outside
the
urban
courts,
where
I
live
to,
where
I'm
not
hitting
potholes
every
time,
I
Drive
to
the
grocery
store
to
work,
or
you
know
regardless
and
it's
disconcerting
to
meet
and
that
you
know
when
people
like
me,
we
bring
up
the
stuff.
You
know
what
issues
were
having
in
my
district,
we're
having
in
my
area
we're
like.
Well,
we
haven't,
we
can't
have
a
strong
city
without
a
strong
downtown.
You
know
we
have
620
square
miles
to
maintain
and
you
know
and
I'm
always
like.
AJ
Well,
okay,
we
have
six
I'm
trying
to
square
miles
and
you
know
and
I
think
it's
kind
of
like
a
slap
in
the
face
to
us
there
that
we're
continuing
mr.
edge
to
dad
said
you
know.
Are
we
keep
being
attacked
the
sales
tax
rate
low
artificially
low,
so
they
can
have
maps
projects
these
maps
projects
are
primarily
located
downtown.
AJ
You
know,
and
I
did
listen
to
this
presentation
of
Jeannie
I
have
to
admit.
I
am
one
of
those
people
who
really
can't
see
somebody
rolling
up,
13,
miles,
copper,
wire
or
thoughtful
cop,
seeing
something
but
I
just
want
to
be
heard
and
that
it's
concerning
when
I
see
on
Twitter
or
in
social
media.
When
people
say
well,
we
hear
your
concerns,
but
we
have
620
square
miles
to
maintain
to
me
that's
saying:
well,
you
live
those
miles
that
we
really
don't
care
about.
AJ
AJ
There
was
lights
out
in
construction
zones
which
oj
explained,
but
my
main
concern
is
you
know,
we're
told
that
and
then
we
have
somebody
who
dies
all
the
class
in
Boulevard,
which
I
know
they're
still
seeing
what
caused
that
or
whatever.
But
you
know,
I
have
to
say
there's
been
times
when
I've
been
driving
around
downtown
class
or
just
an
urban
core
and
I
don't
see
the
bicyclists
at
night,
they're,
not
reflective,
clothing
and
I.
AJ
Don't
think
it's
their
fault
themselves,
it's
just
that
we
have
streets
or
the
lighting
it's
out
and
you
really
can't
see
anything
until
you're
right
up
on
the
bicyclist
or
the
person
who's
crossing
the
street,
and
so,
when
I
hear
like
this
lousy,
farad,
two
tours
II
Street
streetlights,
you
know
my
concern
is:
are
we
giving
people
a
deadline?
Okay,
you
need
to
fix
these
street
lights
by
this
time.
AJ
You
need
to
have
these
lights
lit
up
by
this
time,
because
you
know
we're
totally
focused
on
downtown
with
Matt's
projects
but
said
the
project
180
lights
are
coming
too
is
age?
Are
they
be
replaced?
You
know
quickly,
that's
my
main
concern
is
you
know
we
have
somebody
die.
We
hold
this.
Well.
How
are
you
gonna
ask
us
to
vote
on
mats
for
these
capital
projects
when
it
seems
like
we
can't
even
take
care
of
the
projects
we
have
now.
AJ
You
know
yes
downtown
worked
on,
but
when
I'm
driving,
downtown
and
I'm
seeing
all
these
lights
out,
especially
what
was
really
shocking
was
the
Oklahoma
Boulevard
lights
were
all
out
on
the
west,
not
just
Hubble,
they
were
all
out
and
it's
really
dark
I'm
just
like
well.
This
is
supposed
to
be
an
up-and-coming
thing.
Cuz,
we've
finished,
you
know
why
are
these
lights
out,
especially
in
that
construction
zone?
There's
a
stop
sign,
not
really
well-lit,
and
so
that's
why
I
came
here
today.
It's
just
that.
AJ
You
know
as
