Description
The regular meeting of the Oklahoma City City Council for
Tuesday, November 5, 2019. Part 2 of 2.
A
Okay,
we
have
returned.
We
are
now
on
page
23
of
your
printed
agenda
item
10
items
from
Council.
We
have
item
a
this
is
an
ordinance
to
be
introduced,
set
for
public
hearing
November
19th
final
hearing
December
3rd
one
in
two:
they
relate
to
street
entertainers
along
the
Bricktown
canal,
that's
item
one
and
then
vending
permits
and
so
on
in
item
two
I
believe
this
might
possibly
be
the
first
twitter
instigated
ordinance
change
in
City.
B
Tag
on
Twitter,
I
was
gonna,
say:
I
was
approached
by
some
residents,
so
I
was
I
was
yeah.
I
was
approached
by
some
musicians,
particularly
who
brought
this
to
my
attention
on
Twitter
that
so
busking
it
just
to
create
some
definitions,
because
I
realized,
as
I,
was
talking
to
some
other
folks
about
it.
Over
the
weekend
they
kept
saying
wait.
What
are
you
talking
about?
I
even
understand
what
word
you're
using
so
busking
is
a
type
of
street
performance.
It's
a
practice.
B
To
kind
of
do
some
surveys
of
some
other
cities
and
what
they
do
and
I'd
like
to
invite
the
assistant
city
manager
McDermott
up
to
kind
of
talk
through
the
the
work
she
did
and
kind
of
what
proposal
she
brought
forward.
And
then
we
also
met
with
an
individual
who
works.
Worth,
Arts,
Council
who's,
a
professional
musician
to
kind
of
talk
through
the
implications
for
him
and
kind
of
what
his
input
was
so
but
yeah,
let
assistant
city
manager,
address
the
the
changes
in
the
technical
portion
of
it.
Okay,.
C
First
of
all,
we
regulate
it
as
a
public
amusement
where
people
have
to
come
in
and
they
get
licenses
to
do
things
and
under
public
amusement
or
things
like
carnivals
and
street
shows
spectacles
and
games
dances,
but
street
entertainers
are
also
listed
that
require
a
license.
The
license
is
issued
by
the
development
center
there's
a
thirty
dollar
annual
fee.
For
that
license,
it's
a
pretty
streamlined
process.
The
process
does
require
a
background
check
of
anyone
and
they
have
to
get
a
photo.
Id
badge
from
the
police
department.
C
Typically
I
hear
that
they
can
get
down
there
and
get
in
and
out
of
of
that
stage.
After
the
background,
check
is
cleared
pretty
quickly,
however,
in
the
parks
and
recreation
ordinance
for
people
who
want
to
locate
on
the
Bricktown
Canal,
there's
a
second
set
of
rules
and
an
additional
permit
that
would
be
required.
C
So
if
you
want
to
locate
along
the
canal
as
a
public
amusement
or
a
street
entertainer
you're,
subject
to
a
whole
bunch
of
different
types
of
restrictions,
because
they're
trying
to
limit
where
people
could
be
appropriately
offering
a
street
entertainment
service
because
of
the
limited
area
between
sidewalks
and
buildings,
they
don't
want
anybody
to
obscure
the
sidewalk
or
block
it
feel
like
there
might
be
some
safety
risks
with
that.
The
parks
director
can
issue
that
permit
it's
a
hundred-dollar
permit
and
it's
only
good
for
a
year.
C
So
when
we
did
our
research
on
other
cities
and
their
requirements
of
the
13
pier
cities,
we
looked
at.
None
of
those
cities
required
a
permit
or
a
license
for
street
entertainers.
Several
of
those
cities
did
require
a
permit
or
a
license
if
the
street
entertainer
wanted
to
amplify
sound
or
if
the
street
entertainment
was
something
that
was
more
of
a
special
permit.
Like
multiple
people.
Wanting
to
do
performances
they
needed
to
take
up
a
certain
area
or
block
three
reserve
a
street
to
do
so.
So
we
muddled
our
change
after
that.
C
Our
ordinance
proposes
that
we
remove
the
licensing
requirement
citywide
for
street
entertainers
unless
they're
wanting
to
amplify
sound.
If
they
want
to
amplify
sound,
that
would
get
a
noise
permit,
just
like
anybody
else
who
would
who
would
propose
to
amplify
sound
if
they
want
to
get
a
special
event
permit,
because
it's
more
than
just
a
single
person
with
a
musical
instrument
and
amplification
that
they
could,
they
could
pursue
a
special
event
permit,
except
along
the
Bricktown
Canal.
C
So
what
this
ordinance
does
is
it
gets
rid
of
the
secondary
permit
requirement
that
goes
through
the
parks
department
and
it
moves
those
specific
safety
restrictions
for
the
Bricktown
canal
under
the
licensing
requirement.
So
if
you
want
to
locate
along
the
Bricktown
Canal,
the
parks
director
has
to
sign
off
on
it.
It's
still
subject
to
those
locations
sites
that
the
parks
director
deems
is
safe
and
you
would
still
pay
the
$30
license
fee
still
get
the
background
check
and
you
would
have
that
license
for
a
year
and
reapply
annually.
D
C
Have
issued
zero
permits
for
the
licenses
on
the
canal,
the
hundred
dollar
permit,
since
it
was
initiated
I
think
20
years
ago,
but
we
have
gone
through
the
process
to
issue
just
a
handful
of
street
entertainer
permits
elsewhere
in
the
city.
So
it's
really
not
that
many
that
we've
seen
so
far,
but
now
that
we're
streamlining
the
process
I
think
maybe
that
might
reduce
just
a
couple.
So
it's
really
just
a
matter
of
maybe
less
than
a
hundred
dollars
a
year.
A
A
In
a
second
any
further
discussions,
aim-9
cast
your
votes
passes
unanimously.
It
will
have
a
public
hearing
on
November
19th
and
a
potential
final
hearing
on
December
3rd
10
B.
This
is
ordinance
to
be
introduced
and
adopted
today
with
emergency
declaring
a
180
day
moratorium
on
the
acceptance
of
applications
for
processing
of
an
issuance
of
electrical
permits,
sign
permits,
building
permits
and
rezoning
applications
that
would
allow
construction
on
or
use
of
property
within
660
feet
of
the
Lake
Hefner
Parkway
from
Northwest
63rd
Street
north
to
west
Memorial
Road
for
a
billboard
sign,
councilmen
Stonecipher.
Thank.
D
You,
your
honor,
we've
had
an
issue:
that's
coming
up
around
Lake
Hefner,
that's
caused
some
concerns
on
several
different
fronts,
and
there
are.
There
are
various
stakeholders
and
different
companies
that
are
involved
and
I
really
feel
like
that.
We
need
some
time
to
to
reach
out
to
the
property
owners
in
and
around
the
lake.
We
need
to
reach
out
to
some
of
the
entities
that
are
part
of
the
like
either
Friends
of
Lake,
Hefner,
the
boating
club,
etc.
D
F
Thank
You
mayor
council
bill
Hickman
represent
Lamar
outdoor
advertising.
I
just
wanted
to
express,
first
of
all
that
my
client
is
opposed
to
this
moratorium.
It's
unlawful
and
inappropriate
to
target
one
company
with
the
moratorium.
That's
not
how
legislation
is
supposed
to
work.
It's
not
business
friendly!
It's
not
appropriate
number
two!
F
If
this
body
wants
to
actually
take
action
to
address
billboards
and
the
concerns
that
you
have
heard
about,
such
as
the
spuds
that
have
discussed
a
fast
meeting
as
well
as
the
spud
that
you
continue
today
and
you
want
to
be
genuine
and
transparent,
then
why
don't
you
pass
a
moratorium
on
billboards?
Citywide?
F
F
Why?
Why
are
the
spuds
something
of
a
concern?
That's
a
much
greater
concern
than
what
you
just
talked
about
an
executive
session,
a
lawsuit
that
the
city
is
brought
against.
My
client
and
the
State
Department
of
Education,
because
these
spuds
could
result
in
this
city
losing
federal
highway
funds,
as
well
as
the
State
Department,
the
State
Department
of
Transportation,
losing
a
federal
highway
funds
for
spot
zoning
and
zoning
purely
for
the
purpose
of
outdoor
advertising,
which
we
know
is
exactly
what
these
spuds
are
intended
to.
Do.
F
We've
already
discussed
that
last
time,
I
was
up
here
and
the
federal
highway
administration
has
made
it
very
clear
that
spot
zoning
or
zoning
specifically
for
billboards
is
illegal
and
can
put
at
risk
of
this
city,
and
this
states
10%
funding
of
federal
funds.
So
how
will
that
affect
your
road
projects
that
are
receiving
federal
funds?
That's
something
that
warrants
an
investigation
and
maybe
a
moratorium
not
targeting
my
client.
It
would
be
arbitrary
and
capricious
to
pass
this
moratorium,
as
proposed.
That's
targeting
one
specific
company,
that's
engaged
in
this
industry.
F
Now,
that's
going
to
be
great
additional
information
for
me
in
litigation
showing
that
this
is
arbitrary
and
capricious
because
you've
just
limited
the
area.
This
moratoriums,
going
to
point
to
where
my
client
is
located,
not
where
your
outside
legal
counsel,
that
you
have
an
interest
with
obviously
has
his
interest
in
the
spuds
that
he's
going
to
be
bringing
back
before
you
in
two
weeks.
So
all
the
more
reason,
if
you're
going
to
pass
us,
make
it
citywide,
let's
talk
about
it
or
don't
pass
it
and
let
the
chips
fall.
F
I
would
encourage
you
also
to
remember
if
you
want
to
be
known
as
a
business.
If
you
want
to
be
known
as
a
business
friendly
community,
you
need
to
follow
a
process
and
honor
your
word.
Your
lawyers
Laura
and
Amanda,
as
well
as
your
lobbyists,
sat
in
a
room
with
me
and
the
lobbyists
for
the
state
for
the
highway.
F
The
Outdoor
Advertising
Association
just
a
year
two
ago
regarding
the
relocation
law
for
the
state
of
Oklahoma
and
told
us
they
would
not
oppose
that
law
when
we
agreed
to
compromise
language
that
was
going
to
be
inserted,
and
we
can
ask
her
if
I'm
misrepresenting
that,
because
I
promise
you
I
am
NOT.
In
top
of
that,
we
were
also
told
by
your
lawyer
mr.
Brummett,
at
a
temporary
training.
We're
not
that
long
ago,
a
year
ago
approximately
and
there's
been
over
a
dozen
relocation
permits
issued
by
this
city.
F
The
city
has
never
opposed
a
single
one
of
them,
except
for
this
one,
the
Lamar
one,
the
one
that
you
now
want
to
pass
a
moratorium
on
targeting
again
my
client.
So
if
you
wanted
to
be
known
as
a
business
friendly
city,
if
we
follow
a
process-
and
we
followed
the
State
Department
of
Transportation's
process
to
get
a
relocation
permit-
and
we
followed
this
city
of
Oklahoma
City's
process
for
relocation
permits
which,
up
to
this
point
in
time,
you've
never
contested
and
they've
all
gone
through,
and
your
legal
counsel
has
represented
to
this
court.
F
You
guys
do
not
protest
them.
You
do
not
disagree.
Now.
You're
outside
lawyer
might
say
that
he
disagrees
with
that.
My
point
is
that
you
need
to
follow
your
process
and
stick
to
your
ward
and
when
your
lawyers
and
your
lobbyists
still
my
lobbyists
and
me
that
you're
not
going
to
fight
against
every
location
law
that
the
state's
put
in
place
when
we
have
agreed
to
compromise
on
that
language,
we
expect
the
city
to
honor
its
word.
Thank.
A
G
D
Discussion,
yeah
just
briefly
I'm,
so
sorry
but
I
do
agree
with
mr.
Hickman
that
there
does
need
to
be
a
discussion
about
spuds
and
that's
why
this
involves
more
than
one
company.
It
involves
a
lot
of
companies
and,
at
the
suggestion
of
my
lawyer,
I'm
going
to
move
that
move.
The
ordinance
found
that
10a
be
but
I
need
to
make
an
amendment.
Timbi
you
mean.
Excuse
me.
Ten
would
be
I'm.
D
H
A
A
A
I
Yes,
just
wanted
to
thank
council
person
Stonecipher
for
joining
me
on
a
tour
of
Ward
2
on
Saturday.
We
met
up
around
11:00
a.m.
at
buttermilk
and
Paseo,
and
he
joined
me
not
just
for
driving
around
Ward
2,
but
we
came
down
here
and
had
coffee
at
clarity
on
Main
Street,
because
I
wanted
him
to
get
a
sense
of
how
I
see
Ward
2
connecting
to
council
person,
Hammond,
Ward
and
downtown,
and
so
we
drove
around
down
here.
I
We
went
into
Ward
7
as
well,
because
I
wanted
him
to
have
a
good
sense
of
how
I
think
about
that
word
as
a
good
neighbor
toward
2,
and
it
was
just
I
really
appreciate
your
time.
We
ended
at
frita,
which
first
time
I'd
got
to
go
to
that
restaurant.
One
of
the
new
restaurants
in
Ward
2,
and
that
was
that
was
I,
really
appreciate
your
time.
That
day,
relatedly
of
well
kind
of
relatedly
we
went
as
far
north
as
from
23rd.
Street
is
up
to
120.
I
Second,
and
the
next
thing
I
would
want
to
mention
is
on
November
16th.
The
Britton
district
is
going
to,
which
is
in
word
it's
right.
There
at
this
intersection
right
where
Ward
7
also
calls
the
Britton
district
home
and
then
just
up
the
road
is
where
word
8
begins,
so
the
Britton
district,
and
it
revitalization
I,
think,
is
key
to
three
different
city
council
wards
and
I
would
say
ultimately
critical
to
the
entire
city
and
soap
on
November
16th.
They
are
going
to
be
inviting
everyone
from
11
a.m.
to
6
p.m.
for
a
family-friendly
event.
I
People
from
Ward
7
Britton
District
is
your
home
as
well.
Come
on
in
Ward
2
come
on
in
Ward
8
there.
You
are
right
up
the
road.
Everyone
else
come
on
food
music,
you
name
it
they're
there
to
let
you
know
that
the
Britton
district
is
on
its
way
to
do
its
own
Renaissance
story.
That's
it!
So,
thanks
again,
for
your
time,
I.
D
Just
like
to
echo
on
that
real
quick,
if
I
could
taking
a
tour
if
I
would
have
gone
on
Ward
2
by
myself,
it
would
have
been
helpful,
but
this
was
so
meaningful
to
hear
it
from
James
perspective
and
when
we
got
up
around
Ward
8,
we
started
talking
about
things
that
we
could
work
on
together
in
the
future.
One
last
I
saw
today
on
the
consent
docket
in
Ward,
2
and
Ward
8
Hefner
is
going
to
be
resurfaced
from
Penn
to
the
Hefner
Parkway.
So
that's
another
project.
D
E
Guess
it's
my
turn
now,
since
councilman
Stonecipher
kind
of
went
out
of
turn
there
just
real
quickly
on
a
purely
personal
note,
I
just
wanted
to
give
a
shout
out
to
my
wife,
Mary
Ann.
It's
our
36th
wedding
anniversary
today
and
I
always
tell
everyone
that
she
hit
the
lottery
approximately
36
years
ago.
Getting
me,
but
I
suspect
that
the
opposite
is
true.
So
I
also.
A
J
I'd
like
to
say,
as
as
we
consider
visiting
other
Ward's
I,
think
it's
important
for
us
to
do
that.
Take
into
account
this
vote
that
happened
earlier
as
we're
not
considering
other
Ward's
and
what
that
looks
like,
especially
for
the
communities
that
are
being
affected
by
our
votes
and
for
that
representative.
That
also
represents
that
particular
area
or
that
community
that
you
decide
to
vote
against.
J
I
also
want
to
say,
with
that
attended
women
in
aviation
aerospace
day
on
this
past
Friday,
and
it
was
electric
to
see
all
of
the
people
in
the
room
honoring
some
wonderful
women
in
the
99
and
also
other
women
that
have
made
an
impact
in
aviation
in
aerospace,
and
a
lot
of
us
may
not
know
that's
a
thing,
especially
how
we
celebrated
in
Oklahoma.
But
there
were
a
lot
of
women
to
be
celebrated
and
who
have
made
great
strides.
J
They
came
from
Oklahoma
that
have
made
an
impact
not
only
across
this
nation
but
across
this
world
when
it
comes
to
aviation
in
aerospace
and
I.
Believe
December
9th
is
actually
the
actual
celebration
day
so
well,
I'm
sure
there
will
be
something
that
will
be
coming
back
too
on
December
9th
to
talk
about
that
when
to
visit
st.
mark
Baptist
Church
on
this
past
Sunday
and
they
were
celebrating
their
61st
homecoming
at
the
church.
J
So
I
did
want
to
make
mention
of
that
because
it's
you
know
when
you
have
churches
that
are
celebrating
many
years
of
service
in
any
community
or
anyone
having
those
types
of
of
celebrations
for
numerous
years
of
celebration.
It's
to
be
commemorated,
so
I
wanted
to
at
least
make
mention
of
that,
and
also
we
had
some
young
people
at
Ft
moon,
they're
chess
team
there
afternoon
with
the
after-school
steam
program
that
was
initiated
through
the
SMI
program.
J
We
had
some
young
people
that
participated
and
played
well
and
I
want
to
mention
them
by
name:
Rodney
parks,
Rickey
Dooley
in
Daytona
Dooley
again
these
are
some
young
people
that
represent
ft
moon
and
they
played
on
the
chess
team
and
represented
in
a
tournament
and
did
very
well
and
also
Derek
Hamrick.
He
was
also
a
volunteer
in
in
that
effort,
so
young
people
are
doing
some
great
things
in
Ward
7
and
they
are
to
be
commended
for
their
efforts
tonight.
J
If
you
had
not
heard
we
are
doing
a
Ward
7
Maps
for
informational,
Town
Hall
starts
at
6:00
p.m.
it's
at
the
greater
Mount
Olive
Baptist
Church,
located
on
North,
East,
42nd
and
Kelley,
and
of
the
16
projects.
We
will
mention
all
projects,
but
my
concern
and
focus
are
the
projects
that
are
in
relation
to
Ward
7.
What
that
looks
like
and
we'll
hear
presentations
about
those
particular
projects,
and
also
we
will
have
representatives,
do
presentations
about
those
particular
projects
as
well.
J
So
I
would
ask
if
you
all
want
to
be
there
police
come
and
on
next
Thursday
as
well.
We
will
have
at
this
same
church,
location,
Oklahoma,
City,
Police,
Department
and
neighborhood
Alliance.
The
permit
list
carry
what
you
need
to
know
and
I
think
it's
very
important
for
us
to
understand
what
our
rights
are
when
it
comes
to
us
being
citizens,
because
I
received
two
messages.
J
So
this
is
very
disturbing,
especially
what
this
looks
like
for
our
community
when
you
have
communities
their
color
that
are
being
affected
by
this,
and
we
all
some
of
us
obviously
don't
know.
But
let
me
help
you
understand
when
you
have
this
reflected
differently
with
somebody
else
carrying
an
ak-47,
secuence
--is.
So,
let's
just
I'll,
be
very
frank
with
that.
So
that
is
a
grave
concern.
So
again,
November
14th
is
a
day
for
us
to
remember
and
come
to
hear
what
you
need
to
know
and
lastly,
I
wanted
to
talk
about
this
and
I
know.
J
Oh
I
got
two
more
things:
November
17th
at
the
National
Women
in
agriculture,
building
they're,
located
1701
North,
Martin,
Luther,
King
they're,
having
a
community
plant
black
plant-based
Thanksgiving,
and
that's
from
four
to
six
and
national
women
and
AG.
They
are
a
national
organization,
a
nonprofit
that
is
housed
in
the
building
that
sits
on
16th
and
MLK,
which
we
know
as
the
old
YWCA.
J
But
the
women
there
offer
community
gardens
raised
beds
and
people
can
access
fresh
fruits
and
vegetables
for
free
and
with
this,
this
is
the
community
plant
blade
plant-based
Thanksgiving,
and
this
is
my
first
time
hearing
of
something
like
this
happening
in
our
community
and
I'm
excited
about
it.
So
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
I
got
that
information
out
and
it's
free
of
charge.
J
J
H
I
Forgot
to
say
thank
you
and
I
would
be
embarrassed
till
the
day.
I
die
if
I
didn't
I
want
to
council
person.
Nice
reminded
me
of
this.
We
had
a
better
streets,
Maps
poor
meeting
in
Ward
2
and
the
goal
was
a
purpose
was
to
connect
the
citizens,
the
residents
of
Ward
2
to
the
following
city
staff
and
I
just
want
to
thank
the
following
people.
For
being
there
Department
embark
planning
department
parks.
We
had
our
homeless
outreach
team,
we
had
the
Fraternal
Order
of
Police
arrived
as
well.
I
My
campaign
manager,
Aaron
Wilder
neighborhood,
Alliance,
Public
Works,
and
this
took
place
at
the
real
Rogers
Park
and
I
want
to
thank
the
my
chief
of
staff,
Boyd
Fulton.
This
was
really
an
informational
meeting
and
it
was
about
letting
people
what
know
what's
happening
in
better
streets
in
the
order
of
those
projects,
and
it
was
also
about
letting
them
know
what
maps
for
would
do
and
letting
them
add
their
voice.
To
that
conversation,
I
just
really
want
to
thank
everyone
from
the
city
who
was
able
to
attend.
K
So
we
have
Mike
carriers
here
to
make
a
presentation
on
the
first
quarter
report
for
the
convention,
Visitors
Bureau.
Just
because
of
the
time
we
went
ahead
and
bumped
the
other
presentations
in
for
is
in
your
packets
and
will
decide
which
ones
we
bring
back.
Jeff
will
probably
bring
back
on
the
council
priority,
but
we'll
decide
on
the
other
ones
if
we'll
bring
in
to
the
others
back
so
Mike.
L
Thank
You
mr.
city
manager
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
be
here
and
say
hello
to
you
guys
again.
It's
a
you
guys
and
ladies
I
should
say
using
guys
as
a
generic
term,
but
appreciate
you
all
on
your
support.
The
first
quarter
has
been
a
good
quarter
for
us.
A
lot
of
things
happening
the
first
quarter.
We
exceeded
our
goal
of
kind
of
the
benchmark
of
where
we
should
be
we're
at
about
31%
in
definite
business
that
we
have
booked
for
this
year.
Our
for
future
years.
We
looked
at
this
year.
L
A
hundred
and
twenty-eight
leaves
two
hundred
and
fifty
two
thousand
hotel
room
nights
potential
future
business
that
we're
working
with
that
extends
as
far
out
as
2025.
A
significant
number
of
those
are
for
the
new
Convention
Center.
You
know
we're
seeing
some
great
interest
in
that
beginning
tomorrow.
L
At
about
noon,
we
will
have
a
dozen
national
meeting
planners
in
town
to
do
a
fam
trip
here
in
Oklahoma
City,
to
see
the
convention
center
to
see
the
Omni
to
ride
the
streetcar,
to
see
all
of
the
things
that
that
we
as
a
community
are
doing
and
have
done
to
make
it
possible
for
their
associations
and
activities
to
be
held
here
in
Oklahoma,
City
and
again.
Those
are
over
a
span
of
now
up
to
24
25
calendar
years.
So,
looking
forward
to
that,
we
have
attended
a
number
of
industry.
L
Trade
shows
where
again,
the
reception
for
the
new
Convention
Center
has
been
outstanding.
People
really
like
the
design
they
like
what
we're
doing
in
terms
of
a
city,
and
we
see
a
lot
of
good
things
as
we
move
forward
this
week.
I
know
one
of
the
one
of
the
topics
and
one
of
the
things
we
discussed
during
the
run-up
to
the
maps
for
election
is
the
the
new
arena
at
the
fairgrounds
this
week
and
for
the
next
two
weeks
is
a
great
opportunity
to
see
why
that's
so
important
to
us.
L
The
American
Quarter
Horse
Association's
annual
championship
show,
is
here
for
the
44th
consecutive
year.
That
show
will
leave
about
thirty
eight
million
dollars
in
direct
spending
in
Oklahoma
City
by
time
those
folks
leave
and
that
will
be
followed
by
the
National
reining
horse
association's
Futurity,
which
actually
starts
on
Thanksgiving
Day,
and
that
will
account
for
another,
almost
twenty
million
dollars
of
direct
spending
by
the
people
who
are
here
from
45
to
48
states
and
in
the
future
''tis
case
from
over
two
dozen
foreign
countries.
L
Now
that
will
be
here
for
that
show
so
great
activity
for
our
hotels
for
our
retailers,
a
lot
of
things
going
on
here,
our
marketing
department.
We
have
just
produced
the
annual
visitors
guide,
a
very
nice
publication,
that
is
our
primary
publication
for
distribution.
We
also
have
a
hardbound
publication
that
goes
into
about
half
of
our
hotel
rooms
around
the
city.
Some
hotels
will
not
put
them
in
their
rooms
because
of
their
brand
standards
that
they're
their
parent
companies
have
what
Marriott
or
Hyatt
or
something
you
know.
L
They
have
certain
things
that
they
will
or
will
not
allow
to
be
in
their
rooms,
but
anywhere.
We
can
put
that
we
certainly
do
website.
Obviously,
digital
and
social
media
continues
to
grow.
Our
web
traffic
is
up
about
10
percent
over
the
first
quarter,
with
the
total
website
visits
four
hundred
and
ninety
thousand,
just
in
the
first
three
months
of
this
fiscal
year.
So
a
lot
of
people
out
there
looking
to
see
what
Oklahoma
City
is
doing
and
some
four
point:
seven
million
impressions
on
Facebook
and
other
social
media
channels.
L
So
some
really
great
things
going
on
there.
The
hotel
tax
continues
to
come
in
strong.
We
are
actually
up
from
last
year
at
least
we
were
through.
The
first
quarter,
haven't
seen
the
October
numbers
yet,
but
we
continue
to
show
great
progress
here
in
Oklahoma
City
and
appreciate
your
all's
help
and
support
with
those
things
that
give
us
so
much
more
to
be
able
to
sell.
Councilmen
Stonecipher
asked
me
for
some
information
yesterday,
when
I
moved
here.
Twelve
and
a
half
years
ago,
we
had
a
little
over
twelve
thousand
hotel
rooms
in
Oklahoma
City.
L
Today
we
have
nineteen
thousand
inside
the
city
limits.
We
had
five
or
six
hotels
in
downtown
about
fifteen
hundred
rooms.
We
have
over
3,300
hotel
rooms
in
downtown
right
now
and
with
everything
that
is
under
construction
and
on
the
way
of
things
that
have
been
franchises,
that
have
been
purchased
that
are
under
construction
or
getting
ready
to
start,
and
that
we
have
confidence
in
will
be
up
to
about
five
thousand
hotel
rooms
when
they
are
all
completed
just
in
downtown.
L
So
a
great
industry
good
dollars
coming
in
and
the
more
we
do
here
with
your
all's
guidance
and
help
the
easier
it
is
to
sell
Oklahoma
City
and
to
benefit
from
those
tax
dollars
that
keep
coming
in.
That
allow
you
all
to
to
fund
a
lot
of
the
things
that
that
you
have
to
do
to
run
the
city
with
the
sales
tax,
so
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
But
again,
thank
you
for
your
help
and
support.
D
Point
Mike
was
kind
enough
to
send
me
these
materials
I
gave
a
talk
last
night
about
maps
for
and
I
think
was
mayor
norick
that
told
me
after
he
and
Jim
Scott
went
in
1992
and
met
with
United
and
we
were
turned
down
because
the
executives,
the
United
of
United,
didn't
want
to
live
in
Oklahoma
City.
At
that
time,
when
we
started
to
embark
upon
our
first
Maps,
there
was
one
hotel
in
downtown
Oklahoma
City.
It
was
the
Sheraton
with
400
rooms.
D
J
Had
a
question,
I
was
looking
at
our
scope
of
work
and
goals
when
it
comes
to
updating
monthly
videos
and
I
see
we
have
12
that
are
targeted
and
we
have
three
that
have
been
completed
so
I'm
just
curious
to
know
if
some
of
those
areas
that
are
going
to
be
included
as
far
as
what
okay
see
more
attraction.
Events
in
the
Explorer
series
include
northeast
Oklahoma
City,
because
that
has
been
neglected
and
that
is
definitely
a
destination.
The.
L
Videos
in
that
series,
our
monthly
or
monthly
videos
that
talk
about
things
that
are
being
done
or
happening
in
Oklahoma
City,
and
what
we
do
there
is
to
look
at
different
activities
that
visitors
might
be
interested
in.
Of
that
venture
districts
certainly
is
one
of
the
areas
that
gets
covered
in
that,
depending
on
exactly
what's
going
on
up
there.
But,
yes,
we,
we
include
things
all
around
the
city
in
that
particular
series
of
videos
of
you
know.
L
J
L
Always
a
challenge
on
those
videos,
because
the
videos
are
about
two
minutes,
long,
gotcha
yeah,
there's
a
lot
of
stuff
to
show,
and
but
we
we
also
have
other
videos
that
again
are
two
to
three
minutes,
but
they
highlight
the
the
permanent
opportunities
in
districts
all
around
the
city.
So
when
we
continue
updating
those,
as
things
are
happening,
so
we'll
be
sure
that
we
continued
up,
make
things
in
the
in
Ward
7
and
as
we
do,
you
know
as
we
try
to
do
with
all
the
other
districts
around
the
city.
B
Have
a
question
so
in
the
discussion
about
future
direct
spending
and
the
estimate
summated
with
the
equine
events.
How
do
we
measure
the
s
like
those
Mott
like?
Is
there
some
sort
of
model
that
we
have?
That
says
we
expect
that
we'll
generate
this
much
and
we
can
compute
it
specifically
to
this
group
coming
to
Oklahoma
City
spending,
38
or
20
million
dollars,
yeah.
L
The
way
that
we
gauge
that
several
different
things,
first
of
all,
because
everybody
that
comes
to
the
Horse
Show
to
participate,
has
to
register.
We
know
how
many
entries
there
are
in
the
horse
show.
We
know
how
many
horses
they
are.
We
know
how
many
riders,
exhibitors,
oftentimes
horses,
will
be
used
in
two
or
three
different
events.
So
we
look
at
the
number
of
exhibitors
because
there
may
be
700
participants
and
900
exhibitors
because
they're
in
multiple
events.
L
We
have
also
learned
over
the
course
of
years
of
doing
this
that-
and
this
is
kind
of
a
universally
accepted
within
the
equine
industry.
The
average
number
of
people
that
come
with
each
horse,
you've
got
owners,
you've
got
trainers,
you've
got
stable,
hands,
you've
got
the
riders
you've
got
yet
there's
about
three
and
a
half
people
for
each
horse
that
shows
up.
Then
you
start
adding,
because
you
also
have
what
we
would
call
exhibitors,
which
are
vendors,
that
are
selling
products
pertinent
to
the
equine
industry.
L
You
go
to
the
to
the
quarter
horse
show
this
week.
They
have
a
whole
trade
show
set
up
in
the
Bennett
building.
You
know
it's
a
it's
a
Christmas,
it's
kind
of
a
Christmas
party
over
there,
where
you
can
buy
anything
related
to
horses
yeah.
So
we
see
a
lot
more
folks
coming
for
some
of
these,
rather
than
others
again
what
I
said
about
the
the
Futurity,
particularly
of
the
number
of
internationals
that
come.
L
That's
the
largest
show
that
we
have,
that
has
a
major
international
component
quarter
horse
we'll
have
about
eight
or
nine
foreign
countries
represented
here,
but
but
the
discipline
of
reining
is
the
fastest
growing
discipline
around
the
world,
and
so
those
folks
come
in
here.
We
can
track
that
again
because
of
the
registrations
that
NRHA
has
so
we
you
know,
we
follow
it
in
a
variety
of
different
ways:
the
fairgrounds
also
they
know
how
many
stalls
are
used
and
what
those
stalls
are
used.
L
For
you
know
some
of
them
are
used
for
things
other
than
for
horses
you're
there
for
like
the
quarters
you're
there
for
two
and
a
half
weeks,
you
take
one
of
those
stalls.
You
turn
it
into
a
living
room
because
you're
there
from
Oh
dark
thirty
til
Oh
dark
later
thirty,
so
you
know
it's
some
modeling
like
that
that
we've
been
able
to
do
over
a
course
of
years
that
has
in
Fort
Worth
in
Denver
in
other
cities
around
the
country,
very
similar
numbers.

She's

where
she
was
supposed
to
sign

gun

no
background
check
was
supposed
to
come
and
effect
that
Friday,
so
I
came
to
see

council
on
that
Tuesday
and
I
explained
how
a
person

no
bank

of
all
Charles.
Excuse

M
When
the
governor
said
I'm
so
sorry
when
governor
said
three
months
after
he
got
in,
he
signed
this
bill
to
let
the
gun,
laws
change
for
people
to
get
guns
with
no
background
checks.
I
also
went
to
kindred
horns.
She's
a
/
mental
health
for
the
whole
state
and
I
was
going
to
ask
the
person
what
happened
to
all
the
kids,
so
they
mental
health
when
they
have
at
beat
when
they
have
to
have
these
trainings
for
Duck
and
Cover.
M
You
know
just
two
days
after
the
gun
law
was
Shane.
Two
days
after
the
young
man
who
went
in
to
Twin
Peaks
restaurant
with
an
ak-47.
He
also
went
on
the
northeast
part
of
town,
where
the
black
miles
is
200
members.
In
there
one
man
with
the
ak-47
stand
across
the
street,
saying
he
held
the
right
to
lose
and
I.
Don't
think
y'all
know
that
he
also
went
to
Bobo's
chicken
after
the
Sun
went
down.
M
We
read
on
and
over
there
you
know
it
took
a
while
for
something
get
out
of
where
we
were
red
or
blue
and
we
were
shooting
each
other
for
just
having
those
colorful.
But
he
goes
along
with
an
ak-47
with
on
his
back
says:
he
has
the
right
to
be
there
and
also
in
Denver.
They
also
had
a
man
going
to
try
to
blow
up
the
mosque
to
starting
a
holy
war
all
this
week.
M
All

week,
you
know
and
I
police
they're
gonna
have
a
hard
time
trying
to
close
Pandora's
Box
everybody

a
gun.
You
know
we,
everybody

one
award
for
people
on
drugs,
trying
to
help
get
them
off
the
troops,
but
we
also
passed
us
bill
where
they
could
have
marijuana,
and
now
we
want
to
give
them
all
gunmen.
They
already
got
mental
disability.
M
You
know
when
you're
su,
when
your
own
drugs
or
anything
like
that,
you

nervous
and
paranoid,
and
now

the
car

hopefully
they

you

think

no
clothes
on
which
cigarette
lighter

a
flashlight
in
I
mean

your
pocket.
Didn't

M
You

and
on
and
I
want
y'all
to
work
with
change
your
horns
because
y'all

the
whole
state.
She
represent.
Everybody
also
and
y'all,
try
to
see
hell,

people
that
psychiatrist
and
stuff
tell
y'all.
What's
going
to
have
these
kids
old
and
heard
nobody
say,
what's
going
to
happen
to
the
kids
minds
and
we
are
the
only
the
one
man
I
heard
her
say
that
was
a
man
from
Twin
Peaks.
He
said
these
kids
gonna
be
so
nervous
and
now,
just
this
weekend,
all.
N
If,
if
it's
above
the
high
lines,
if
on
13th
Street
the
high
lines
on
the
other
side,
if
you
look
at
oh
you,
oh
you,
medical!
What's
on
13th
and
Lincoln,
there's
three
there's
three
gila
ports
where
the
medevac
is
coming,
so
it
just
buildings
above
their
flight
line,
they're,
going
to
take
into
consideration
the
the
flight
line
of
the
medevac
and
on
the
sidewalk
stuff
y'all's
doing
a
lot.
Better
ain't
got
much
complaints,
but
thank
you
all
for
doing.
I
know
it's
a
no
dot
project,
but
10th
Street.
N
It
just
needs
to
be
brought
down
to
the
corner
of
10th.
Up
in
y'all
may
want
to
check
on
that
and
then
on
13th
and
our
10th
and
Northeast
10th
and
Lincoln.
That
corner
needs
something
be
done
because
where
they
put
their
new
sidewalk
in
to
the
to
the
corner
on
the
other
side
going
down
the
other
sidewalk,
it's
about
a
two
to
three
inch
gap.
There.
N
Thing
else,
just
the
other
stuff
that
I've
been
talking
about
week
after
week
after
week
is
the
sidewalks
and
making
sure
that
the
a
da
stuff
is
coming
in
compliance.
This
is
right
now
I
checked.
My
odometer
on
my
chair
would
show
East
three
days:
I'll
have
it
for
a
year,
I've
got
over
1500
miles
on
so
I
do
check
and
from
what
the
Action
Center
says,
I'm
on
one
of
the
highest
reporting
of
incidents
around
Oklahoma
City,
so
I
do
watch
y'all.
A
N
O
O
This
is
an
African
American
holiday,
started
by
Maulana
Karenga
in
1966
to
address
the
very
drastic
and
abusive
reality
in
which
blacks
were
visited
upon
here
in
the
Western
Hemisphere.
What
I
call
America-
and
it
is
a
time
I-
believe
that
it
gives
African
American
community
an
opportunity
to
be
abreast
of
the
fact
that
they
have
had
many
great
civil
rights
leaders,
great
iconic
persons,
and
that
we've
done
great
things
before
we
got
here
to
the
western
hemisphere
of
America.
O
As
a
matter
of
fact
who,
let
it
prove
be
told,
we
were
the
first
one
to
visit
Western
Hemisphere
of
America,
doing
commerce
with
the
people
who
were
found
in
matter
of
fact
is
who
were
African
Americans
by
the
fact
Indians
did
not
come
into
maybe
8,000
years
ago.
Let
us
not
get
that
far,
but
we're
not
gonna
talk
about
that
too
much
lately.
O
Well,
let
me
say
this
here,
I
believe
it's
important
that
this
horseshoe
here
start
considering
the
fact
of
maybe
possibly
having
Kwanzaa
recognized
as
a
national
holiday
here
in
Oklahoma
City,
as
you
recognize
the
Columbus
Day
now
and
they're.
Actually,
Native
Americans
they're,
not
no
longer
record
company,
no
good
guy,
I'm,
not
gonna,
say
anymore
about
him,
but
anyhow,
Kwanzaa
is
a
very
unique
time
of
the
year.
It's
a
seven
day
period
begin
on
December
26
and
rolls
around
to
December.
O
Excuse
me,
January,
1st
of
the
next
year
for
seven
days,
African
Americans
are
taught
to
be
vibrant
about
their
culture,
their
history,
their
language,
their
God
and
in
great
things
and
doing
things
for
our
community.
This
would
be
a
great
thing
if
we
knew
this
was
like
a
Christmas
or
New,
Year's
or
Thanksgiving,
knowing
that
there
will
be
a
holiday
that
everybody
else
has
to
to
give
recognition
to
just
imagine
the
young
people,
the
young
kids,
who
themselves
would
be
able
to
say
hey.
This
is
some
more
of
me
to
be
proud
of.
O
I've
got
something
that
I
can
say
that
my
African
roots
are
being
recognized
now.
Why
don't
I
start
doing
something
better
for
my
community,
but
I'd
start
doing
something
great
to
get
my
tias
over
drugs
gangs
and
violence
and
knowledge,
and
that's
in
all
of
us
are
though,
but
I'm
just
saying:
can
you
imagine
those
of
us
that
will
get
effect?
O
If
we
did
something
like
that
very
briefly
here
and
then
closer
I
think
that
we
need
to
consider
very
much
I,
don't
know
what
steps
I'll
take
to
talk
to
counsel
I'm
late
on
I
think
we
need
to
make
this
one
of
the
most
prosperous
moments
on
time
in
recognizing
December
26
is
African
American
day
Kwanzaa
/
matanda,
your
Kwanzaa
verse
fruits
thank
y'all
very
much
lawmen
speak.
Thank.
