Description
The regular meeting of the Oklahoma City City Council for
Tuesday, December 3, 2019.
A
Good
morning,
I
think
we're
gonna
go
ahead
and
get
started.
First,
we're
gonna
begin
with
an
invocation
led
by
pastor
JD
ward
of
New
Hope
United
Methodist
Church.
That
will
be
followed
by
the
Pledge
of
Allegiance,
led
by
Tatum
Wright
and
clinician
Darrington
of
Boy
Scouts
of
America
Cub
Pack
1500.
Please
stand.
B
Let's
pray
together,
Almighty
God
at
the
beginning
of
a
new
day.
We
acknowledge
that
we
need
to
turn
to
you
and
put
our
trust
in
you.
At
the
beginning
of
this
meeting.
We
seek
your
guidance
and
all
that
we
decide
and
do
this
day,
I
pray
that
you
will
use
these
city
leaders
to
bless
the
lives
of
those
who
live
in
this
community.
I
pray
that
you
will
bless
all
those
who
work
for
the
city
and
keep
them
safe.
B
B
Please
help
those
who
recently
lost
their
jobs
and
who
faced
uncertain
times
during
the
holiday
season,
help
us
to
work
together
for
a
community
that
is
united
in
working
for
the
good
of
all,
and
now
the
Lord
bless
you
and
keep
you
the
Lord
make
his
face
to
shine
upon
you
and
be
gracious
to
you.
The
Lord
lift
up
his
countenance
upon
you
and
give
you
peace,
amen.

G
David
box
522
Colcord
Drive
I
had
an
pissed
I,
not
to
speak
when
it
came
up
on
the
consent
docket,
but
speaking
to
the
City
Attorney's
Office
I
do
believe
we
have
a
resolution.
What
we
intend
to
do
is
the
portion
of
the
street
that
is
encumbered
by
the
one.
Oh
geez
meant
we
intend
to
make
private
so
that
the
city
will
not
be
accepting
that
dedication
of
the
right
away
and
I
believe
that
solves
the
problem,
but
I'll
defer
to
miss
carpenter.
Yes,.
H
A
So
we'll
handle
that
when
it
comes
back
at
the
COS
syndicate,
okay,
that
concludes
item
five
items.
Six
revocable
permits
item
6a
is
a
revocable
permit
with
the
Arts
Council
for
opening
night
and
the
opening
night
finale
5k,
and
we
do
have
a
couple.
People
who
have
signed
up
to
speak
welcome,
Peter,
delici
and
Seth
Lewis,
hello,.
I
How
are
you
all
doing
great,
it's
nice
to
see
you
this
morning?
Opening
night
is
28
days
away,
which
is
kind
of
amazing,
be
the
33rd
annual
opening
night
this
year,
and
we
simply
couldn't
do
it
without
all
the
support
that
we
get
from
the
city
of
Oklahoma,
City
and,
of
course,
from
the
City
Council.
We
really
appreciate
all
you
do
to
help
this
event
because
success.
J
Morning
this
year
we
also
we
have
our
volunteer
co-chairs.
Leah,
Roper
and
David
rapidly
with
us
they're
out
there
and
then
went
along
with
200.
Other
volunteers
were
helping
is
produced
this
event
this
year,
as
in
last
year's,
we
have
nine
stages.
We
are
here
at
City,
Hall
from
City
Museum
of
Art,
the
library,
a
Civic,
Center
and
finale
stage
at
Bicentennial
to
Bicentennial
Park.
The
Bicentennial
Park
is
free
and
open
to
the
public
and
we
expect
a
crowd
of
around
25,000
to
ring
in
the
new
year
with
us
this
year.
J
We
also
have
do
at
5k
going
down
south
on
Walker
down
in
front
of
the
river
trails
and
then
back
closing
one
lane
on
the
west
side
of
Walker
anticipation
of
around
300
at
350
runners
on
that.
So
we'll
have
a
minimal
impact
on
traffic,
and
we
also
this
year
reached
out
and
had
our
poster
designs
done
in
Spanish
as
well.
So
we
hit
the
different
markets
in
Spanish,
as
well
as
all
over
home
city.

A
A
motion
in

discussion,
seeing
none
cast
your
votes
passes
unanimously.
Thank,
You,
Holly
and
great
job
with
everything
with
downtown
in
December.
I
know
we're
gonna
hear
more
about
it
later
now
we
have
item
C.
This
is
a
revocable
right-of-way
use
permit
with
stockyard
City
Main
Street
to
hold
the
Cowboy
Christmas
parade
on
December
7th,
and
we
have
Kelly
pain,
good.
M
Morning,
Kelly
Payne,
general
manager
of
the
Oklahoma
National
Stock
Yards
and
president
of
stockyard
City
Main
Street,
where
we've
been
hosting
the
cowboy
Christmas
parade
for
well
over
two
decades.
It's
a
really
special
thing
for
us,
we
feel
like
stockyards,
has
always
known
their
identity,
and
so
we
have
always
kicked
that
off
with
the
Longhorn
procession.
The
parade
starts
at
Penn.
An
exchange
works
its
way
down
to
Agnew
and
then
goes
south
to
about
14th
Street,
and
we
have
40
to
50
entries
this
year
very
family-friendly
event:
street
performers,
food
vendors.
M
We
have
some
children's
activities.
We
also
have
an
opportunity.
We
understand
that
our
community
is
very,
very
much
impoverished,
and
so
every
child
can
has
an
opportunity
to
come
and
get
a
gift
and
take
a
photo
with
Santa.
So
we
appreciate
your
continued
support
for
over
two
decades
of
this
wonderful
event.
Thank.
A
A
Got
a
motion
in
a
second
any
further
discussion,
seeing
none
cast
your
votes
passes
unanimously.
Now
we'll
adjourn
the
ocm
fa
and
convene
as
the
Oklahoma
City
public
property
Authority,
where
we
have
items
a
and
B
we
could
take
with
one
motion
got
a
motion
in
a
second
any
further
discussion.
Seeing
then
cast
your
votes
passes
unanimously
now
we'll
adjourn,
OCP
PA
and
convene
as
the
Oklahoma
City
environmental
assistance
trust.
We
nearly
have
item
a
claims
in
payroll.
We
can
take
that
obviously,
with
one
motion
got
a
motion
in
a
second
any
further
discussion.
A
Seeing
none
to
cast
your
votes
passes
unanimously.
Well
adjourn
the
Oklahoma
City
environmental
assistance.
Trust
and
reconvene
is
the
council
meeting
where
we
find
ourselves
on
page
five.
Have
you
written
agenda
item
seven,
the
consent,
docket
and
there's
a
handful
of
things?
The
city
manager
might
speak
a
few
words
on,
but
there's
no
formal
presentation,
correct.
E
We
felt
like
if
we
didn't
have
items
that
we
needed
to
have
the
meeting
that
we'd
go
ahead
and
do
a
cancellation.
So
that's
why
the
meeting
is
canceled,
so
that
is
on
a
F
on
K
3.
This
has
an
effect
on
that
K
3
is
the
healthy
neighborhoods
overlay.
The
zoning
item
notices
were
sent
out
to
all
of
the
residents
in
the
seven
three
windows
of
code,
notifying
them
that
we
would
have
the
public
hearing
on
December.
E
The
31st,
because
we're
canceling
that
meeting
that
will
automatically
that
hearing
will
automatically
go
to
December
the
7th.
So
we
just
want
to
make
sure
that
was
clear
to
everyone
that
that
would
be
on
December
January.
The
7th,
rather
than
December
the
31st
because
of
the
cancellation,
and
that
is
all
I,
have.
A
K
A
Q
Way,
Gourley
chief
of
police:
this
is
technology
that
we've
been
looking
at
for
a
while,
as
the
police
department
to
assist
us
with
mapping
crime
scenes
and
and
some
other
uses
as
well.
Most
specifically,
this
particular
purchase.
What
we're
looking
at
doing
to
kind
of
get
our
feet
on
the
ground
with
this
is
using
it
to
investigate
fatality
accident
scenes.
Q
Currently,
when
we
go
out
on
an
accident
scene,
we
do
a
lot
of
different
calculations
and
things
to
determine
speeds.
You
know
vehicle
projections
and
things
like
that
that
caused
and
contributed
to
the
accident.
This
is
just
another
tool
or
resource
that
we
can
have.
That
will
allow
us
to
get
aerial
photos
and
we
also
have
some
software
that
works
in
conjunction
with
the
unmanned
aerial
system
to
help
map
the
scene.
Q
So
the
drone
basically
will
fly
above
the
crime
scene,
be
able
to
take
the
photos
and
then
use
the
software
that
we
have
to
map
that
there's
there's
one
of
the
good
things
about
us,
not
being
the
first
in
the
country
to
use
this
technology.
Is
we
get
to
kind
of
learn
from
others
and
and
look
at
things
around
the
country
that
have
have
caused
some
issues
and
be
aware
of
that
ahead
time,
and
so
what
what
we've
done
in
using
it
with
accident
scenes?
Q
First,
it
allows
us
to
you,
know
again:
try
the
technology
learn,
how
to
use
it,
get
good
with
that
and
then
also
get
our
people
certified
in
the
proper
certifications
to
to
fly
and
use
these
systems.
Second
thing
to
like
Councilwoman,
hem
and
we're
talking
about
prior
to
council.
Is
that
anything
that
we
do
or
any
images
anything
that
are
captured
still
would
be
required
if
they're
used
as
evidence
as
part
of
the
Fourth,
Amendment
search
and
seizure.
So
say
we
did
capture
something
through
this
that
wasn't
what
we
were
actually
out
there
doing.
Q
We
would
still
be
required.
It's
like
it's
no
different
than
if
a
police
officer
goes
on
a
call.
They
respond
to
a
domestic
or
some
type
of
call
them,
while
in
that
house
they
observe
another
crime,
that's
occurred
and
in
a
lot
of
those
instances,
what
they'll
have
to
do
is
I'll
have
to
back
out
and
get
a
search
warrant
and
then
proceed
that
way.
The
same
the
same
requirements.
Q
P
Q
It's
not
my
intent
to
just
use
them
for
accidents
right
now.
We
will
expand
out
from
there.
I
want
to
use
them
on
crime
scenes.
You
know,
especially
our
more
serious
crimes
where
you
have
spread
out
amounts
of
evidence.
What
what
God
is
kind
of
on
to
this
technology?
There
was
an
incident
that
OHP
had
that
some
of
our
officers
were
involved
in.
It
was
a
large
crime
scene
in
a
kind
of
in
a
rural
area,
and
they
use
some
of
this
technology
and
we
saw
how
it
was
used
to
help
map
crime
scene.
Q
But
what
we've
done
prior
to
implementing
this
one
of
the
things
that
the
FAA
requires
in
order
for
us
to
have
people
certified
to
use
this?
Is
you
have
to
have
procedures
in
place
prior
to
deploying
an
unmanned
aerial
vehicle
like
we're
doing,
and
so
in
this?
In
this
instance,
we've
sat
down
fryer,
it
went
through
our
policy
review
committee.
We
came
up
with
standard
operating
procedures
and
procedures
on
how
it
will
be
used.
Q
This
is
the
first
step
in
this
and
what
we'll
be
doing,
because
again,
we
want
to
learn
how
to
use
the
technology,
and
this
is
one
of
the
the
easiest
ways
to
do
that-
to
get
us
out
there
and
get
us
practice
with
it
and
get
us
developing.
That
is
on
these
accident
scenes,
and
so
we
won't
there's
nothing
that
we
could
do
that
with
the
technology
that
would
violate
the
law.
I
mean
we're
held
accountable
just
like
anybody
else.
Q
So
if
we're
violating
the
Fourth
Amendment
we're
going
to
be
held
accountable
to
that,
but
right
now
it
is
our
intent
to
use
it
to
assist
with
investigating
the
accident
scenes
and
then,
as
we
learn
and
use
that
expand
into
other
crime
scenes
and
then
possibly
at
some
point,
maybe
use
it
at
a
special
events.
Large
crowds,
things
of
that
nature
to
get
a
more
aerial
view
of
what's
going
on
for
safety
reasons
that
be
further
down
the
road.
But
that's
our
antenna
right
now
is
to
start
with
the
accidents.
E
Q
Right
now,
the
stammering
the
standard
operating
procedures
are
are
used
are
specifically
applying
to
the
accidents,
but
there
is
verbage
in
there
that
what
is
allowed
to
expand
beyond
that?
If
we
did
that,
if,
for
example,
we
wanted
to
use
it
for
special
events,
we
would
have
to
update
those
SOPs
to
make
sure
that
we're.
You
know
following
the
guidelines
and
the
rules
and
not
violating
any
FAA
rules
and
things
like
that.
How.
A
O
Thank
you,
I'll
go
ahead
and
pick
up
that
one
and
I
had
a
phone
system.
Oh
this
is
a
healthy
neighborhood
overlay.
So
I
do
want
to
make
mention
again
that
we
did
send
the
notices
out
to
over
7,000
residents
and
I
know
he
had
this
conversation
at
our
Planning
Commission
meeting
and
I
and
I.
In
my
opinion,
it
seems,
as
some
of
our
residents
may
be,
a
little
concerned
and/or
just
unaware
of
how
the
healthy
neighborhood
overlay
works,
so
I
just
wanted
to
make
mention
and
ensure
that
this
is
not
a
permanent
overlay
district.
O
So
this
healthy
neighborhood
overlay
is
for
us
to
measure
healthier
outcomes
and
also
we
do
want
to
try
to
fill
a
grocery
option
and
have
better
health
access
for
our
residents
that
live
within
7:30
1
1
1,
because
there
is
not
a
single
grocery
store
in
that
one
zip
code
of
7,000
residents.
So
again,
this
healthy
neighborhood
overlay
is
not
permanent.
S
A
H
So
it's
not
actually
an
amendment.
What
the
City
Attorney's,
Office
and
Public
Works
are
recommending
is
because
this
entity
approves
or
denies
plat
that
this
entity
vote
to
approve
the
irrevocable
letter.
Aerbook.
A
letter
of
credit
excuse
me
and
as
to
all
of
the
area
except
for
the
stub
location,
where
the
1oak
infrastructure
is
located
as
to
the
stub
location
for
the
one
of
infrastructure,
then
it
would
be
denied
as
to
that,
and
it
would
be
noted
on
the
plaque
that
that
is
a
private
portion
of
that
street.
H
H
N
Your
your
extension
essentially
accepting
the
dedications,
excluding
the
street
stub,
where
it
crosses
the
onenote
gas
line.
That's
what
you're
doing,
if
you
just
make
the
motion
along
those
lines
and
the
happy
applicant
will
make
a
note
on
the
plat
will
add
a
note
to
the
plat
as
David
mentioned.
So.
A
A
O
With
a
B
I'll
just
pick
up
a
b2
and
five,
if
that's
okay,
we
want
to
just
talk
about
the
street
resurfacing.
That's
happening
on
north
sooner
road
from
northeast
36th
Street
to
East
Wilshire,
so
we're
excited
about
the
2.8
million.
So
when
this
is
complete,
we
will
have
six
full
miles
of
resurfaced
on
sooner
road
and
we've
had
a
whole
lot
of
phone
calls
about
sooner
road
there
in
this
area,
with
other
with
previous
council
members
or
Ward
7
as
well.
O
So
we
are
very
excited
about
the
street
resurfacing
and
also
for
those
who
travel,
North,
Santa,
Fe
Avenue
from
122nd
to
the
Kilpatrick
Turnpike
I,
must
say,
I'm
excited
about
that
one.
So
we're
gonna
get
some
street
resurfacing
for
that
area
too.
So
both
of
those
areas
are
well-traveled
and
we
are
excited
about
those
street
resurfacing
projects.
I
just
wanted
to
make
mention
of
those.
Thank
you
right.
Q
When
Gorelick
Chief
of
Police,
this
is
a
basically
a
donation
from
the
Kirkpatrick
Family
Fund
that
we've
been
getting
since
1995
to
send
two
of
our
upper-level
commanders
to
the
police.
Executive,
Research
Foundation
in
Boston
perf,
as
they're
commonly
known,
is
a
think
tank
that
of
agencies
from
around
the
country
send
their
people
to
to
prepare
them
for
upper
level
management.
It's
a
very
it's.
A
three
week
course
I've
attended
it
myself.
Q
It's
very
it's
much
more
thought-provoking
in
dealing
with
issues
of
leadership
and
they
bring
in
you
know
lots
of
people
from
outside
law
enforcement,
which
I
think
makes
it
very
good
to
get
different
perspectives
on
how
to
run
organizations
and
how
to
look
at
problems
from
different
perspectives.
We
often
will
analyze
something.
You
know.
That's
happened,
maybe
in
the
private
sector
and
analyze
how
that
occurred,
and
the
leader
learned
leadership,
skills
and
things
from
it
and
again
it's
a
three-week
training
course
very
beneficial.
Q
It's
also
a
requirement
if
you
want
to
be
in
upper
level
command
at
any
Police
Department
around
the
country,
especially
if
you
ever
want
to
apply
for
it,
see
a
police
chief
job.
You
either
have
to
have
attended
perf
or
the
FBI
Academy,
and
so
it's
it's
it's
beneficial
to
have
our
upper-level
commanders
captain
and
above
is
usually
who
who
are
eligible
to
attend
this
course.
Q
Happens
is
when
I
took
over
as
chief
I
updated,
because
we
had
so
many
promotions
in
recent
years
and
so
captains
and
above
will
submit
a
request
to
attend
either
perfor
FBI
and
they'll
they'll
put
in
their
request
if
they
want
one
or
the
other
or
both
or
if
they
have
attended
one
already,
and
then
we
look
at
since
we
only
get
the
two
spots
each
year.
We
look
at
a
lot
of
times
how
much
time
they've
had
in
their
rank
and
then
their
availability
to
attend
gone
that
long
a
lot
of
times.
Q
Submit
their
request
to
me,
and
then
we
discuss
it
among
the
executive
staff.
We
also
discuss
it
with
those
that
have
submitted
their
requests,
especially
if
they've
never
been
to
one
or
the
other.
That's
one
of
the
things
I
look
at
first
to
see
you
know
who
would
be
eligible
to
attend
and
then
again
factored
in
to
their
time
and
right.
Some
people
don't
want
to
attend.
Some
don't
want
to
promote
maybe
beyond
the
captain
level
and
and
they're
they're
happy
doing
that,
and
they
don't
want
to
be
gone
for
that
long.
Q
We
try
I
mean
I,
you
know
I'm
not
going
to
twist
their
arm
or
anything
I
mean
I
put
out
and
make
sure
they
they
knew.
Once
I
became
chief
that
these
resources
are
now
available
and-
and
if
you
want
to
be
considered
for
that,
then
submit
a
request
to
me
and
I
think
the
majority
did
I
think
there
was
only
a
couple
that
that
didn't,
but
the
majority
did
put
in
and
has
to
be
considered
do.
K
We
have
numbers
of
like
the
demographics
of
folks
who
have
gone
specifically
I,
think
when
I
think
about
making
sure
people
have
opportunities
for
those
promotions,
I
think
about
how
like
there
it's
quoted
that
to
get
a
like
women
to
apply
for
a
promotion
or
push
for
a
promotion.
You
usually
have
to
tell
her
like
five
or
six
times,
whereas
men
will
typically
do
it,
regardless
of
their
qualifications,
regardless
of
what
their
resume
looks.
K
Like
so
I
think
my
concern
is
making
sure
that
we're
really
really
like
making
sure
people
feel
the
support
to
apply
as
well
as
encouraging
folks
to
apply,
especially
if
they
come
from
kind
of
the,
whether
they're
females,
just
the
minority
of
people
who
serve
in
our
police
force
and
especially,
if
they're
kind
of
in
the
in
that
next
level
of
leadership
of
wowing
for
those
opportunities
to
move
up
so
I'm
curious.
We
have
demographics
of
like
folks
who
have
gone
in
the
past
I'm.
Q
Glad
you
asked
the
question
that
way
because
I
think
maybe
I
misunderstood.
What
you
were
looking
at
in
this
our
promotional
system
is,
is
actually
geared
steered
and
driven
by
our
FOP
contract.
Our
collective
bargaining
agreement
there's
a
process
that
you
have
to
go
through
at
each
promotional
rank,
and
this
does
not
negate
someone
from
going
through
that
process
or
moving
up
as
they
get
into
the
higher
ranks.
This
becomes
very,
very
beneficial
for
them
to
attend.
It
does
not
prevent
them
from
for
participating
or
being
promoted
up
in
the
process.
Q
That's
that's
not
what
this
does
it's
just
an
educational
process
for
them
that
will
benefit
them
as
they
move
up
through
the
ranks.
It's
not
a
requirement.
So,
if
I
have
a
captain
who
says
they
don't
want
to
participate
in
this,
they
can
still
participate
in
the
majors
promotional
process.
I
have
a
major
one
of
the
individuals.
That's
going
to
the
FBI
Academy
this
year
is
now
a
major
and
he's
never
been
to
either
one
and
that's
why
he
got
first
choice
in
in
going
and
he's
going
to
the
FBI
Academy.
Q
Q
It
was
listed
as
a
requirement
when
I
applied
for
the
chief's
job
to
have
attended
one
of
these,
and
so,
but
it's
not
going
to
prevent
someone
from
moving
up
through
our
ranks
and
at
some
point
and
if
they
especially
you
know,
obviously
majors
and
deputy
chiefs,
if
they
haven't
been
to
either
one
or
probably
going
to
get
a
priority,
because
they're
they're
likely
to
be
looking
at
applying
at
a
Chiefs
job,
either
here
or
maybe
with
another
organization.
So
I
hope
that
answers
your
question.
K
It
is
to
an
extent,
but
I'm,
still
curious
if
we
do
have
demographics
of
folks
who
have
attended.
Look
because
it
looks
like
this
has
been
happening
since
1995.
So
I'd
be
curious
if
we
have
a
sense
of
the
demographics
sex,
age,
race,
ethnicity,
that
sort
of
thing
of
people
who
have
attended
and
whether
there's
ways
that
we
can
really
specifically
target
those
who
haven't
to
really
encourage
those
folks
to
participate
in
a
I.
Mostly.
Q
Q
We've
had
a
lot
of
retirements
over
the
years
is
what
you're
going
to
see
is
people
that
have
not
been
at
these
ranks
very
long
they're,
the
ones
that
that
probably
do
not
have
this
training
yet,
and
so,
when
we've
had
again,
we've
got
quite
a
few
new
captains,
several
new
majors
and
then,
of
course,
all
of
us
at
the
deputy,
chief
and
chief
level
are
fairly
new
too,
but
we've
been
at
those
other
ranks
and
had
opportunities
to
attend
and
again
this
this
comes
up
every
year.
It's
not
this,
isn't
a
one-time
shot.
Q
T
A
Okay,
well,
that
concludes
items
that
anybody
wanted
to
speak
to.
Unless
there's
something
else,
we
could
entertain
a
motion
to
adopt
all
the
items
except
for
item
in
which
is
previously
adopted,
got
a
motion
in
a
second.
Any
further
discussion
then
cast
your
votes.
Passes
unanimously,
brings
us
to
item
8
the
concurrence
docket.
We
have
items
a
through
L.
We
could
take
with
one
motion.
A
A
Now
we're
on
page
22
of
your
printed
agenda
item
9
items
requiring
separate
votes
will
begin
at
item
a
these
are
ordinances
on
final
hearing
that
we're
recommended
for
approval.
At
the
Planning
Commission
item
9a
one
is
300
North
East,
Third
Street,
going
from
downtown
business
district
to
downtown
business
district
with
historic,
landmark
overlay,
Councilwoman
nice,
yes,.
O
This
is
a
project
that
we
are
extremely
excited
about
as
far
as
approval
for
the
historic
landmark
of
the
Lions
mansion.
A
lot
of
us
know
it
as
the
luster
mansion,
but
again
I
gave
you
a
brief
history
about
SD
liens,
as
it
was
introduced
to
before
it
was
introduced
to
Planning
Commission,
but
again,
I
want
you
to
realize
and
understand
that
mr.
O
Lyons
was
obviously
ahead
of
his
time
when
he
came
to
Oklahoma
and
opened
the
east
india
toilet
goods
factory
and
also
built
that
home
that
you
see
on
northeast
3rd
and
central
and
when
he
passed
away
he
was
one
of
the
richest
men
in
Oklahoma
in
the
1950s.
So
with
that,
we
are
excited
about
what's
to
come
in
I'm
gonna.
Ask
that
we
move
for
approval,
and
this
has
an
emergency
or
five
affirmative
votes.
A
V
A
A
O
A
S
X
This
project
is
of
great
excitement
to
me
as
well.
It's
my
son
and
daughter-in-law,
and
they
are
converting
or
intend
to
convert
the
property
into
a
bakery
facility
from
which
they
will
ship
their
product
across
the
country,
and
it's
they're
doing
it
now
out
of
California
eager
to
come
to
Oklahoma.
There
will
be
probably
in
the
vicinity
of
a
hundred
employees.
X
F
X
F
F
A
A
F
A
G
G
Kendall
Dillon,
the
civil
engineer
on
this
project
and
myself
on
behalf
of
Anthony
Mirza,
who
is
the
landowner
here,
came
and
rezone
this
a
few
years
ago
for
a
host
of
uses.
At
the
time
we
zoned
everything
you
see
his
tract
1
&
2,
the
land
that
was
the
Turnpike
and
the
land
east
of
it,
and
it
was
going
to
be
a
mixed-use
community
where
all
the
residential
connected
to
the
commercial
connected
to
the
higher
density
residential,
the
turnpike
has
come
through
and
completely
bisected.
Mr.
G
Muir
XY's
land
he's
gonna
have
to
kind
of
rework
the
whole
the
whole
development.
The
ability
to
connect
from
the
east
to
the
west
has
now
been
destroyed.
A
significant
portion
of
the
commercial
and
the
multi-family
was
taken
as
part
of
the
Turnpike
project,
and
so
when
you
look
at
the
old
way,
the
PUD
was
laid
out.
It
simply
doesn't
work
anymore
after
the
turnpike
has
come
through.
G
So
what
we've
sought
to
do
through
the
PUD
is
rework
kind
of
the
Northwest
portion
of
the
development,
we'll
have
to
come
back
and
reap
lat
eastern
portion
later,
but
we
reworked
the
uses
that
frankly
were
already
allowed.
Redid
the
commercial
redid,
the
multi-family,
in
a
manner
that
will
now
work
in
the
after
condition.
This
was
continued
at
the
Planning
Commission
to
allow
us
to
go
meet
with
the
protesters
which
we
did
do
and
we
weren't
able
to
accommodate
anything
that
they
had
concerns
on
at
Planning
Commission.
It
was
a
unanimous
nine
to
nothing.
G
F
Bit
of
history,
the
intersection
that
you
see
at
the
top
of
your
drug
diagram
right
there
is
of
Southwest
29th
and
Sarah
Road
and
Sarah
Road
is
a
major
artery
between
Oklahoma,
City
and
Mustang,
and
has
been
a
thorn
in
everybody's
side
for
as
long
as
I've
been
on
council.
Since
2001
Sarah
Road
is
going
to
be
widened
in
a
joint
project
between
the
state
of
Oklahoma
and
Oklahoma
City
up
to
four
southwest
59th
from
southwest
59th
further
south
on
Sarah
Road,
it's
going
to
be
widened
by
the
state
and
the
city
of
Mustang.
F
This
is
to
alleviate
a
major
problem,
congestion,
a
situation
that
we
have
and
you'll
notice
right
under
track.
Two
to
the
south
of
track.
Two
there
is
a
school
there
which,
when
it
brings
the
students
in
the
morning
and
picks
them
up
in
the
afternoon,
creates
one
of
the
major
traffic
jams
in
Oklahoma,
City,
we're
hoping
by
going
to
before
lane
of
Sarah
Road.
This
will
alleviate
that.
F
G
That's
right
that
the
timing
was
problematic
for
for
our
client.
He
had
not
only
zoned
it,
but
he
had
had
a
preliminary
plat
done
and
I
think
several
phases
of
a
final
plat,
and
it
wasn't
more
than
a
couple
weeks
after
that
that
he
received
notification
from
the
Turnpike
Authority
that
they
would
be
condemning
his
land
and.
F
So,
from
a
historical
perspective,
there
are
two
major
traffic
problems
that
I
inherited
back
in
2001.
One
was
the
intersection
on
the
interstate
of
Morgan
Road.
That's
now
been
resolved
and
the
second
one
was
widening
of
Sarah
Road,
which
we
didn't
have
the
money
nor
the
traffic
census
to
justify
it
back
then,
but
it
does
meet
those
criteria
now.
So
with
that
we
said,
there's
a
citizen's
mr.
be
heard.
U
Carrying
me,
my
concern
is
just
for
the
school.
The
track
to
their
proposal
is
to
put
how
apartment
complex
there
I
just
feel
very
concerned
for
the
kids
that
live
I
mean
that
go
to
that
school
because
of
the
fact
of
the
school
shootings
and
perpetual
problems
that
could
happen
if
they
build
a
apartment
complex
because
you
don't
know
who
might
live
there,
there
could
be
predators,
as
you
know,
pedophile
errs
or
anybody
could
you
know,
take
one
of
those
little
kids.
U
If
he
does
put
apartment
I
would
have
proposed
them
to
have
no
windows
facing
that
school.
Just
so,
there
wouldn't
be
any
opportunity
for
a
prepare
for
someone
to
either
shoot
a
kid
or
any
type
of
activity
like
that.
That's
my
proposal
for
the
building
not
to
have
windows
facing
that
school
and
a
high
fence
along
those
that
border
between
the
school
and
the
backtrack
to
property.
U
U
My
grandson
crosses
that
every
day
I
was
not
too
long
ago.
I
was
coming
to
pick
up.
My
daughter
and
I
saw
them
cross
I
wrote
because
they
had
an
activity
at
that
school
at
5:00
at
night,
and
somebody
almost
hit
my
little
grandson,
so
I
just
feel
really
concerned
about
that
and
I
own
the
property
of
ten
six
one.
Six.
Now
it's
West
22nd
Street,
that's
my
personal
property
Mike.
U
A
U
V
My
name
is
Amber
topic.
Hopa
I'm
here
protesting
the
proposal
for
track
2
because
of
the
safety
of
the
school
right
behind
it.
There's
a
playground
just
would
be
right
behind
the
area
of
the
school.
What
I
proposed
to
be
done
would
be
to
have
no
windows
facing
the
school
area,
because
there
are
kids
that
play
out
in
front
of
this
school
on
a
regular
basis.
V
You
can
pass
there
by
there
anytime
and
there
be
kids
playing
in
the
in
front
of
the
school
behind
the
school,
and
you
know-
and
it's
concerning
to
have
something
so
close
to
a
school
and
have
no
real
barrier
between
it.
There's
no
trees,
there's
a
small
green
space
that
is
fenced
off
for
flooding,
concerns
and
stuff
like
that,
but
there's
there's
nothing
protecting
the
kids
from
that
area.
V
What
I
would
want
would
be
at
least
like
a
10-foot
high
fence,
to
cover
the
to
help
prevent
people
from
seeing
over
the
fence
and
then
no
windows
facing
that
area.
I
spoke
to
the
school
board
and
to
the
superintendent
of
Mustang
Public
Schools
and
talked
to
the
principal.
Also
about
this
proposal
and
I
know,
he
said
that
he
was
in
contact
or
the
person
under
him
was
in
contact
with
the
board
member
of
our
area.
So
those
are
my
concerns
is
just
the
safety
of
the
kids,
mainly
that
go
there.
V
G
Real
briefly,
I
will
note
that
the
way
that
track
2
will
interface
with
the
school
tract
you'll
have
a
5:1
there'll,
be
a
fence
on
our
southern
property
line.
Then
there'll
be
a
5-foot
landscape
buffer.
The
way
that
the
code
requires
building
heights
as
it
relates
to
a
but
in
the
school
it'll
be
a
60
foot
swath.
G
That
will
be
no
more
than
single-story,
so
the
code
allows
for
a
scale
and
height
the
closer
you
are
to
the
school
and
that
residential
it'll
be
single-story
and
then
it'll
gradually
get
higher
as
you
move
away
from
it.
So
we
do
believe
that
we
have
all
the
appropriate
measures
in
here.
I
think
a
10
foot
high
wall
is
not
a
good
thing,
I
think
having
eyes
on
areas
like
this
is
probably
better.
The
code
would
not
allow
a
10-foot
high
wall
anyways.

Thank

Okay,
9b
is
an
ordinance
on
final
hearing
that
was
recommended
for
approval
for
a
special
permit.
This
is
a
special
permit
to
permit
a

youth

in

Excuse

K
A
A
A
A
Budget
in
a
second
any
further
discussion
see
none
cast.
Your
votes
passes
unanimously
9f.
This
is
the
second
of
three
meetings
on
this
proposed
ordinance
change.
This
is
a
public
hearing
regarding
regarding
an
ordinance
relating
to
miscellaneous
provisions
and
offenses.
It
actually
is
the
concept
of
adding
exit
to
the
list
of
areas
not
to
be
obstructed.
This
is
merely
the
public
hearing.
It
was
explained
at
the
last
meeting
will
be
voted
on
in
a
future
meeting.
Is
there
anyone
here
who
wishes
to
speak
under
this
public
hearing,
seeing
none
we'll
move
on
to
nine
g1?
A
AA
AA
We,
for
this
is
just
to
go
through
the
maps
that
were
originally
approved
as
a
part
of
the
original
TIF
district.
This
is
the
project
area.
So,
if
you
recall
with
TIF
districts,
you
have
two
different
areas.
The
project
area
is
where
you
can
spend
the
money,
and
the
increment
area
is
where
you
generate
the
tax
revenues
from
so
this
is
the
project
area
for
the
Northeast
Renaissance
TIF
district
and
it
in
it
encompassed
the
JFK
urban
renewal
area,
plus
the
Northeast
Renaissance
urban
renewal
area
boundaries.
AA
AA
The
original
objectives
in
the
TIF
project
plan
were
to
assist
again
with
the
implementation
of
the
JFK
and
the
Northeast
Renaissance
urban
renewal
plans.
They
were
to
redevelop
and
revitalize
the
area
to
promote
economic
development
and
create
new
jobs,
to
stimulate
new
investment,
to
preserve
and
enhance
the
tax
base
in
the
area
and
to
provide
development
opportunities
for
the
other
taxing
entities
in
the
in
the
increment
district,
we
proposed
a
variety
of
amendments
to
capture
some
development
parcels
that
have
come
to
our
attention
since
the
original
adoption
of
the
project
plan.
AA
All
of
these
amendments
I've
showed
to
you
in
a
presentation
that
I
did
several
months
ago
before
we
kicked
off
the
process
to
get
all
of
the
approvals
and
recommendations
that
have
to
be
accomplished
before
it
can
come
back
to
the
City
Council.
So
the
proposed
the
proposed
amendments
were
to
establish
a
separate,
separate
increment
area,
east
of
Bryant
Avenue
for
future
projects.
We
had
a
project
that
was
approved
at
Northeast,
23rd
and
Coltrain.
AA
If
some
of
you
are
on
the
council
at
the
time,
and
at
that
time
many
of
you
expressed
a
concern
that
development
in
that
area
may
not
occur
for
several
more
years
and
wanted
to
establish
a
separate
increment
area
for
that
very
far
east
part
of
this
TIF
district.
We
also
wanted
to
establish
some
additional
increment
areas
where
we
knew
that
development
was
about
to
happen.
AA
AA
So
this
is
the
map
that
kind
of
shows
you.
The
original
TIF
district
is
labeled
as
a
and
then
we
have
designated
areas
B,
which
are
several
smaller
parcels
that
are
scattered
throughout
the
project
area
and
then
an
addition
of
the
area
C,
which
is
that
area
far
to
the
east
east
of
Bryant
Avenue,
that
we
anticipate
that
development
will
happen
at
some
time
in
the
future.
AA
In
addition
to
the
changes
for
that
future
area
C,
we
will
also
expand
the
project
area
when
that
increment
area
is
initiated
at
some
point
in
the
future,
so
just
to
go
through
some
of
the
new
smaller
increment
areas
that
are
proposed
for
inclusion.
The
first
one
is
Creston
Hills
school.
This
is
a
former
Oklahoma
City
public
school
that
has
been
donated
to
the
city
of
Oklahoma
City.
We
hope
that
in
the
near
future,
the
Urban
Renewal
Authority
can
assist
the
city
in
the
redevelopment
of
this
school
and
put
it
back
to
good
use.
AA
The
second
one
is
another
former
Oklahoma
City
public
school,
formerly
known
as
harmony
school,
more
recently
known
as
Marcus
Garvey
school.
We,
this
school,
has
already
been
transferred
to
the
Oklahoma
City
urban
renewal
Authority.
We
have
issued
a
request
for
proposals
and
have
identified
our
developer
for
it
to
convert
the
school
into
senior,
affordable
housing
and
then,
finally,
the
this
area.
It
will
not.
Finally,
but
an
additional
area,
is
it
36th
and
Lincoln.
AA
Another
area
is
along
26th
in
Martin
Luther
King.
That
has
been
identified
as
a
potential
for
commercial
development
next
to
a
property
that
is
owned
by
the
Oklahoma
City
Housing
Authority,
and
then
this
is
finally
a
series
of
properties
at
23rd,
just
east
of
I-235,
where
the
former
armory
is
located.
It's
owned
by
the
state
of
Oklahoma.
There
are
a
couple
of
other
parcels
that
we
think
are
prime
for
redevelopment
and
that
could
help
to
support
the
overall
success
of
the
Northeast
Renaissance
TIF
district.
AA
So
again,
the
plan
will
establish
separate
increment
areas,
east
of
Bryant
for
future
projects
and
add
the
additional
increment
areas
that
I
just
went
through.
The
the
plan
will
retain
and
create
new
jobs
by
stimulating
new
investment
in
Oklahoma
City
and
help
to
preserve
and
enhance
the
tax
base
by
providing
development
opportunities
for
the
other.
Taxing
entities
in
the
increment
district.
AA
This
chart
is
just
to
show
you.
The
changes
in
the
budget
in
the
purple
is
the
original
increment
budget
for
TIF
district
number,
nine
that
is
was
originally
adopted.
As
45
million
it
will
be
amended
so
that
the
budget
for
district
9
again
remember.
We
split
off
a
portion
of
that
into
letter,
C
area,
letter,
C,
and
so
the
new
budget
for
to
district
number,
nine
is
31
million
district
B
will
be
19
million
district
C
will
be
a
total
of
12
million
for
an
overall
total
in
this
TIF
district
of
62
million.
E
AA
We
still
have
to
generate
the
increment,
and-
and
we
have
to
remember
that
this
is
a
budget
for
a
25
year
time
horizon
it
isn't
an
annual
budget.
It
is
the
budget
for
the
for
the
entire
life
of
the
TIF
and
it
in
it
sets
kind
of
the
maximum
amount
of
increment
that
can
be
expended
from
this
TIF
district.
AA
Y
AA
AA
So
the
the
potential
impacts
of
the
changes,
the
public
revenue
anticipated
to
result
from
the
development
described
in
the
plan-
includes
increased
tax
revenues
both
inside
and
outside
the
increment
districts.
So,
typically,
what
happens
with
a
tax
increment
project
is
that
we
also
see
improvements
in
values
outside
the
boundaries
of
the
increment
area,
so,
and
you
think,
about
downtown.
The
area's
just
outside
of
the
downtown,
have
also
seen
quite
a
bit
of
new
investment
and
growth
in
property
values.
AA
We
also
believe
that
the
economic
benefits
of
the
plan
for
the
affected
taxing
jurisdictions
and
the
community
as
a
whole
offset
any
adverse
financial
impacts
of
any
of
the
plan
on
the
other
taxing
jurisdictions,
so
just
to
go
through
a
little
bit
of
the
process.
These
changes
were
considered
by
the
TIF
review
committee
in
October
of
2002,
our
tenth
of
2019.
The
Planning
Commission
also
reviewed
these
changes,
for
conformance
with
the
Oklahoma
City
comprehensive
plan
on
October
24
2019,
it's
being
introduced
to
at
City
Council.
A
Yeah
right
I
need
to
make
a
formal
statement
about
the
hearing.
Okay,
so
there
will
be
two
public
hearings
on
the
amendments
to
the
northeast
Renaissance
economic
development
project
plan.
The
first
is
being
held
today:
December
3rd
2019
and
a
second
public
hearing
will
be
held
at
the
City
Council
meeting
held
in
these
chambers
on
December,
17,
2019
and
8:30
a.m.
the
primary
purpose
of
the
first
hearing.
Today,
December
3rd
will
be
for
staff
to
provide
information
and
answer
questions.
A
A
AB
You
know
what
this
is
all
designed
to
do
this
City
Councilwoman
nice,
it's
designed
have
their
innovation
district
to
come
Oni,
let's
not
be
foolish.
With
this
come
on
now,
let's
be
serious.
Lady
yeah,
you
understand
what
I'm
talking
about
is
you're,
saying
gonna
happen
number
one
you're
gonna
increase
the
tics
that
tax
increment
financing
district
from
45
to
60.
To
me
you
want
to
know
why
let's
get
the
other
developers
who
wants
to
come
in,
even
though
it's
almost
a
25
year
period.
Let
me
slow
down,
call
them
a
little
bit
excited
this
morning.
AB
Let
me
say
it
like
this:
here
we,
the
african-american
community,
it's
not
going
to
accept
this
flagrant
disregard
of
our
ability
to
independence,
we're
not
going
to
allow
this
innovation
district
to
come
in.
It's
already
with
this,
so
called
on
how
much
of
money
slow
be
going
to
them,
and
this
vote
on
the
10th.
But
let
me
tell
y'all
something:
that's
not
gonna
work,
you're
not
going
to
come
in
to
the
east
side
and
steal
everything
we
got,
including
our
freedom,
sinners,
you're,
not
gonna.
AB
Do
any
of
that
now
you're
an
intent
of
this
whole
tactic.
Amid
finance
increase
his
design
I
haven't
seen
one
black
face
out
of
the
since
nineteen
or
means
2015,
that's
receiving
it.
It's
TIF
money
and
if
it
is
I
haven't
gotten
in
and
I'm
trying
to
start
asking
for
it.
Since
I
know
it's
going
to
be
increased
and
if
I
don't
get
it
we're
gonna
file
a
loss
of
a
discrimination.
Why
it
ain't
gonna,
be
about
cuz
I,
don't
have
money,
because,
first
of
all
you
can't
use
taxpayers
dollars.
AB
I
say
we
gonna,
give
our
friends
something
you
never
hadn't
gotten
and
don't
get
it
don't
work
like
that.
Does
it
why,
when
I
have
a
program
you
read
for
this
one,
that's
designed
to
create
jobs,
as
this
lady
just
spoke
about
now,
all
we
just
just
let
them
create
the
jobs
and
nobody
else,
I,
don't
think
that
work.
Does
it
now?
That's
not
the
due
process.
Is
it?
AB
That's
that's
the
city
protecting
the
cell
phone
and
I've
also
done
the
research
are
y'all
ready
for
this
on
the
Moore
Oklahoma
Memorial,
with
the
the
tragic
situation
with
Tim
McVeigh
Oklahoma
morrow
y'all
are
on
it,
but
y'all
gave
them
is
a
dollar.
Is
this
a
discrimination
process
going
away?
You
want
my
freedom
center
again
with
this
money.
You
want
to
take
it
on
my
freedom
center,
but
you
don't
own
this
Memorial
Gardens.
Ever
in
all
these
people
wait
a
minute
now!
Oh
look,
let
me
say
in
closing:
I
am
against
this
tactic.
AB
I'm
in
finance
money.
Now,
all
of
a
sudden,
we
want
to
increase
the
value
in
money
on
this
particular
project
created
since
1915
I'm.
Excuse
me
2015,
which
I
had
to
see
no
part
of
money
up
I've
seen
all
developments
on
the
outside
coming
in
created
businesses,
especially
on
a
23rd
Street
strip,
millions
of
dollars
and
I
haven't
seen
one
black
face,
and
maybe
videos
I'm
gonna
be
mad
at
them
for
not
telling
me
if
it
did
happen
like
that.
So
again,
I
am
against
this
tax.
AB
Increment
finance
increase
for
the
purpose
of
it's
flagrantly
recklessly
disregard
of
African
American
community.
Right
now
we
as
african-americans
the
only
minority
group
in
the
state
of
Oklahoma
y'all
ready
for
this
I
do
my
research.
They
really
don't
have
anything.
We
can
lay
claim
to
it's
all,
a
continuation
process
that
started
way
back
in
early
1800s
when
the
Indians
came
in
and
when
they
dunno
the
Trail
of
Tears
watch
out
and
I
told
I'd.
AB
Do
my
studies,
it's
all
designed
to
keep
me
down
as
a
people
you
and
me,
depending
upon
you
and
you're
developing
friends
outside
develops.
Well,
sir,
you
got
somebody
today
gonna,
stop
all
that
I'm
tired
of
this
every
time.
I
wake
up
the
communities
are.
Desecrated
is
decimated
as
it
went.
Blighted
areas
been
here.
Come
people
on
outside.
We
need
someone
on
outside
to
save
us
really
how
come
I
can't
save
myself.
Give
me
one.
Let
me
save
myself
again,
I'm
against
it
and
we
will
file
a
lawsuit.
Thank
you.
Thank.
O
O
O
The
reason
that
this
was
increased
to
62
million
was
because
I
asked
for
us
to
ensure
that
we
had
funds
improved
and
increased
for
public
improvements
and
development
for
the
community
that
resides
within
TIFF
9,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
and
make
clear
of
the
reason
for
the
increase
is
so
that
money
can
go
back
into
the
community
for
public
improvements
and
development.
I.
K
Have
a
few
questions
who
is
on
the
TIF
review
committee
and
is
that
a
City
Commissioner
board?
Is
that
part
of
the
Alliance
no.
AA
K
Those
two
and
then
can
you
go
back
to
the
map
of
the
boundaries.
Sure
yes
about
something
but
I
seem
to
remember
from
the
previous
presentation,
but
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
because
I
seem
to
remember.
There
was
discussion
about
that
Far
East
kind
of
portion.
So
that's
what
is
happening
as
we're
designating
that
as
see
to
kind
of
separate
it
from
okay
except.
AA
K
O
To
also
add
to
that
that
a
that
is
in
that
part
see
that
is
an
african-american
or
minority-owned
business
that
will
be
developing
right
there
and
also,
and
when
we're
looking
at
what
has
has
already
been
developed,
there
is
an
african-american
or
minority.
That
is
a
part
of
the
money
that
has
been
for
these
projects
that
have
already
been
placed.
A
A
Okay,
so
that's
introduced
today
and,
as
stated
here,
that
will
be
set
for
a
final
hearing
on
December
17th
moving
on
to
9
H.
This
is
a
joint
resolution
with
the
Oklahoma
City
Economic
Development
to
be
introduced
and
set
for
public
hearing
and
final
consideration
on
December
17th,
approving
and
allocation
of
4.4
million
dollars
from
a
current
district
B,
and
we
have
a
presentation
on
this
correct.
Yes,.
AA
AA
So
I
wanted
to
give
you
a
little
bit
of
background
about
who
the
developer
is
on
this
project.
The
developer
is
made
is
a
single
purpose
entity
that's
been
just
named:
36th
and
Lincoln
LLC.
It's
made
up
of
the
Endeavour
corporation
East
Smith
communities
and
the
Alliance
for
Economic
Development.
We
will
develop
the
property
and
the
store
and
the
headquarters
will
be
leased
to
homeland
and
H
AC,
which
is
their
corporate
entity.
I
wanted
to
give
you
a
little
bit
of
background
about
the
development
team.
AA
AA
They
are
a
premier
developer.
That
has
a
great
deal
of
experience
with
a
new
market
tax
credit
program,
and
this
this
project
will
include
an
allocation
of
new
markets,
tax
credits
to
help
provide
some
of
the
equity
needed
for
the
project.
They
are
a
grocery
store
development
specialists
that
have
worked
in
many
different
markets,
working
with
different
cities
and
governmental
entities
to
determine
and
develop
strategies
to
help
close
grocery
deals
across
the
country.
AA
This
is
just
an
example
with
some
of
the
projects
that
they've
done,
they've
done
a
Fresh
Market
in
Milwaukee,
that
is
a
single
tenant
grocery
retailer.
It
was
a
nine
million
dollar
new
markets
tax
credit
deal
and
then,
with
that
I'd
like
to
introduce
Tamela
Tamela
Thornton
today,
Tamela
is
with
E
Smith
communities
and
has
been
working
on
this
project
with
us
for
a
very
long
time.
We
were
talking
about
that
earlier
today,
so
I'd
like
Tamela,
to
go
over
a
little
bit
about
her
background
and
her
involvement
in
the
project.
D
Good
morning,
everyone
Tamela
Thornton
with
East
Smith
communities,
I'm
the
president
of
the
company
East
myth
communities
is
a
company.
That's
really
focused
on
from
a
development
perspective,
identifying
opportunities
and
communities
that
have
traditionally
been
overlooked
in
identifying
ways
to
bring
either
health
education
wellness
opportunities
into
those
communities,
and
one
of
the
the
tenants
of
our
community
is
to
undertake
projects
that
will
ultimately
facilitate
what
I'm
calling
self
gentrification
and
really
what
that
is.
D
It's
a
it's
a
model
whereby
once
there's
some
catalytic
investment
of
a
larger
anchor
tenant,
often
that
being
either
a
grocery
store,
a
hospital,
a
wellness
facility,
a
university
education
aspect.
Those
types
of
investments
typically
allow
other
private
investors
to
be
able
to
obtain
the
capital
to
actually
start
businesses.
Lower
smaller
businesses
obtain
the
capital
or
to
participate
in
those
projects
that
we're
developing
to
obtain
some
of
the
skills,
training
and
background
to
allow
them
to
be
successful
in
the
community.
D
We
essentially
have
worked
over
our
working
currently
in
Dallas
Texas,
renovating
a
30,000
square
foot
office
building,
which
was
formerly
the
headquarters
of
the
Urban
League.
The
Urban
League
left
Dallas.
We've
taken
that
building
in
our
leasing
that
space
to
the
Community
College,
as
well
as
other
private
uses
to
start
that
process
of
generating
investment
in
the
community
we've.
We
have
developed,
probably
more
than
650
million
square
feet
of
retail
office
space
in
Dallas
in
Philadelphia
in
Baltimore,
including
rents
and
residential
uses
with
partners.
Typically,
in
our
model,
we
will.
D
We
will
like
to
partner
with
other
uses,
just
to
make
sure
that
we
can
bring
a
holistic
solution
to
a
community.
Communities
is
actually
one
of
the
operating
companies.
You
can
go
to
the
next
slide
of
the
East
myth
legacy
holdings,
business,
which
includes
e
smith
advisors,
which
is
a
national
brokerage.
Business
partnered
with
new
mark
Knight
Frank,
a
Smith
properties
which
develops
significantly
larger
project
and
horizons,
which
is
a
finance
finance
team
that
traditionally
is
focused
on
public
infrastructure.
Chairman
of
our
company
is
Amit
Smith.
D
A
D
AA
This
is
just
a
look
at
the
proposed
location
and
kind
of
why
it
makes
such
good
sense
as
a
location
in
the
Northeast
community,
its
proximity
to
the
State
Capitol.
It
is
on
an
embarq
bus
route
and
we
are
in
discussions
with
embark
about
improving
the
bus,
stop
and
the
Lin
the
location
at
36
and
Lincoln.
It
is
in
the
Northeast
Renaissance
TIF
district
or
will
be
once
the
council
after
the
council
adopts
the
ordinance.
It
is
in
a
food
desert
and
it
also
has
been
designated
as
an
opportunity
zone.
AA
The
site
will
also
include
the
maps.
Three
senior
wellness
center
on
the
site
has
been
a
by
both
the
subcommittee
in
the
City
Council.
The
senior
wellness
center
will
be
about
40,000
square
feet.
The
resolution
that's
before
you
today
also
includes
an
allocation
of
1.3
million
dollars
from
the
goal
bond
funds
to
help
support
the
maps
3
funding
that
is
required
for
the
the
senior
wellness
center.
AA
The
the
project
kind
of
has
a
long
history,
I've
personally
been
working
to
try
to
bring
a
grocery
store
to
northeast
Oklahoma,
City
or
I.
Think
I
figured
out.
It's
been
about
21
years
now,
Willa
Johnson
he's
here
today,
woman
Johnson
must
have
stepped
out,
but
she
she
has
bit
was
instrumental
when
we
first
started
working
on
it,
in
addition
to
skip
kellyjohn,
Pettis,
Leigh,
Cooper
and,
of
course,
Councilwoman
nice.
AA
This
is
one
of
the
primary
reasons
that
this
TIF
district
was
created
was
to
try
to
solve
the
food
desert
problem
in
northeast
Oklahoma,
City
and
I.
Think
we've
come
up
with
a
good
first
step,
the
TIF
structure.
The
request
is
for
4.4
million
dollars.
The
TIF
funding
will
be
provided
upfront
to
the
project
to
flow
through
the
new
markets,
tax
credit
structure.
This
allows
us
to
take
additional
advantage
of
some
of
the
new
markets,
tax
credits
to
get
more
equity.
From
that
program,
the
upfront
TIF
allocation
will
be
provided
by
the
gold
bond
fund.
AA
As
we
pointed
out
earlier,
there
is
no
property
tax
generated
on
this
site.
At
this
time.
It
is
owned
by
the
commission
of
school
Land,
Office
and
I'd
like
to
thank
them
for
their
cooperation
and
working
out
an
exchange
agreement
where
we
will
exchange
this
site
for
a
participation
in
another
piece
of
property
and
and
eventually
the
city
will
end
up
owning
the
piece
where
the
senior
wellness
center
is
and
the
parking
lots
are
and
the
private
developers
will
own
the
footprints
of
the
store
and
the
headquarters.
AA
We
anticipate
that
the
property
tax
increment
in
the
first
year
will
be
about
$90,000,
and
the
projected
sales
tax
increment
will
be
about
two
hundred
and
forty
two
thousand
dollars.
We
have
done
extensive
grocery,
store
demand
studies
on
this
site
and
believe
that
it
is
an
excellent
site
with
a
very
good
demand
profile.
We
estimate
that
we
will
be
able
to
pay
back
that
TIF
allocation
over
about
an
eighteen
year
period
so
well
before
the
TIF
expires
and
we've
incorporated
a
one
and
a
half
percent
interest
rate
as
we
amortize
that
that
TIF
allocation.
AA
This
is
just
a
look
at
the
sources
and
uses
where
we
are
right.
Now
we
have
a
lender
identified
through
national
co-operative
bank.
The
new
markets
tax
credit
allocation
is
about
four
million.
We
we
are
as
Tamela
mentioned,
they
are
still
looking
through
several
different
term
sheets
for
equity
investors
and
then
the
Oklahoma
City
tax,
increment
financing
allocation
of
4.4
million.
AA
We
anticipate
hard
construction
costs
on
the
project
of
about
eleven
point,
two
million
and
tenant
allowances
and
FF
any
packages,
especially
for
the
grocery
store
of
about
2.3
million,
and
you
can
see
the
rest
of
the
project
costs
on
the
screen
just
to
go
a
little
bit
through
the
timeline
we
are
currently
in
design
of
both
the
grocery
store
and
the
headquarters.
It's
been
a
great
process
working
with
homeland.
AA
They
haven't
built
a
new
store
from
the
ground
up
in
probably
30
years,
so
it's
been
an
interesting
experience
for
them
to
get
to
design
a
new
grocery
store
and
I,
don't
think
they've
ever
designed
a
corporate
headquarters,
so
we're
working
through
all
those
nuances
about
where
people
want
to
sit,
and
things
like
that.
So
anyway,
the
design
process,
the
design
process
is
in
progress.
AA
Some
of
the
upcoming
approvals
that
are
things
that
have
happened
to
date
and
and
things
that
are
still
to
come,
include
that
this
was
reviewed
by
the
TIF
review
committee
on
October
10th
2019.
It's
introduced
to
Council.
Today
on
the
17th.
We
will
have
the
final
hearing
on
the
TIF
allocation
and
the
gold
bond
allocation.
O
D
One
of
the
things
that's
interesting
about
investing
these
types
of
projects
is
that
you're
talking
to
multiple
of
multiple
entities,
the
first
entity
that
we
were
talking
to
as
they
were
evaluating
the
process,
ended
up
deciding
that
from
a
timing
standpoint
and
using
opportunity's
own
funds,
as
they
had
initially
anticipated.
It
wasn't
really
going
to
fit
their
investment
criteria
yeah.
D
We
are
actually
currently
working
with
a
private
equity
company,
which
is
I'm
an
already
own
private
equity
company
to
finance
the
equity
position
of
this
property,
and
then
that
will
come
along
with
other
resources
that
we're
bringing
to
the
table.
So
financing
is
coming
from
a
minority
led
company,
I.
E
Just
want
to
mention
that
I
really
appreciate
Cathy's
leadership
on
this
and
working
with
councilman
nice,
and
this
is
just
a
project.
It's
unlike
any
project
that
we've
done,
that
I
can
think
of
just
all
the
different
facets,
coming
together
the
complexity
of
the
project,
what
we're
putting
into
it
financially
being
able
to
combine
it
with
the
Wellness
Center
that
there's
just
a
lot.
That's
happening
here
and
I
really
appreciate
the
creativity
and
the
work
here.
E
It's
it's
extra
investment
from
the
city
and
there's
still
some
things
that
we've
got
to
work
through
some
challenges
with
that
that
everyone's
working
hard
to
do,
but
I
really
appreciate
Cathy's
leadership
to
work
with
the
development
team
with
Councilman
ice
to
help
us
get
this
far
along
in
the
project.
Thank.
AA
You
I
would
mention
to
answer
a
little
bit
more
on
the
look
on
the
investor.
We
are
working
with
some
local
groups
and
have
term
sheets
with
local
groups,
including
a
local
group
of
minority
investors
and
right
now,
it's
just
a
matter
of
evaluating
term
sheets
from
six
different
or
letting
six
different
groups
evaluate
our
term
sheet
and
figuring
out,
which
one
is
going
to
be
the
best
fit
and.
O
Make
this
comment
I
knew
in
the
beginning
when
we
announced,
as
far
as
in
August
end
of
August
this
homeland,
coming
with
an
HBCU
which
is
a
historically
black
college
and
university
investor.
And
then
we
lost
that
investor
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
still
had
that
same
type
of
investment
back
into
the
community
when
it
comes
to
a
store
for
the
community
that
it's
going
to
be
serving
so
I'm.
O
Very
intentional
about
the
wish,
in
the
ask
of
making
sure
we
have
a
mine
or
to
invest
or
for
this,
especially
because
of
the
announcement
that
came
out
to
the
public
that
there
was
a
minority
investor.
So
I
want
to
continue
that
and
ensure
that
when
we
get
to
the
end,
we
still
have
that
same
commitment
from
someone
and
also
as
we
were
looking
at
the
sill.
O
The
projected
sales
tax
sales
tax
for
242,000
me
personally
actually
see
a
succeeding
patent
greatly
because
of
the
the
great
irony
that's
in
this
community
for
our
residents
when
it
comes
to
a
grocery
store
and
I'm
telling
you
every
time,
I
go
into
the
community
and
I'm
stopped
not
just
in
northeast
Oklahoma
City,
but
other
parts
of
Oklahoma
City.
Everyone's
asking.
When
is
the
store
going
to
be
open?
O
AC
I
think
well
first,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Count
person,
nice
urghhh.
It's
doing
what
they're
doing
I
believe
I've
mentioned
this
to
you
previously
and
I
think
I
might
have
mentioned
it
to
Jeff
Butler
with
our
planning
department,
but
I'm,
really
interested
and
walkability
as
it
relates
to
36th
and
weekend
heading
west
continuing
on
36
under
the
underpass.
AC
You
know
in
Ward
2
our
boundaries
right
there
at
235
and
we
don't
get
a
sidewalk
on
36th
until
Western
and
those
are
new
and
that
strange
to
me
because,
as
we
all
know,
Western
Avenue
is
one
of
our
first
shopping
districts
that
took
part
in
being
a
bid
and
stuff
like
that
and
they
created
it.
It's
just
like
walkable
area.
AC
You
know
connecting
you
to
your
neighborhood
into
your
local
shops,
so
it
just
trikes
me
is
very
odd
that
we
would
not
have
sidewalks
connecting
to
36th
and
Western
and
to
that
district,
but
I
think
simultaneously,
I,
don't
know
if
we're
gonna
have
to
look
at
some
maps
dollars,
unfortunately
in
maps
or
when
councilperson
Hammond
and
I
on
our
working
group
were
crafting
the
sidewalk
portion
of
maps.
You
know
we
invested
in
those
ten
pedestrian
priority
areas
which
is
wonderful,
but
this
location.
The
grocery
store,
is
right
outside
to
that.
AC
AC
I
got
me
excited
thinking
about
it
previously,
but
similar
to
the
way
we
have
those
bridges
into
brick,
town
that
you
know,
they're
very
walkable,
they're
well
lit,
there's
public
art
on
them.
I
would
like
for
us
to
really
find
a
way
to
do
something
similar
at
36
and
to
35,
because
even
if
we
were
to
put
in
sidewalks
there
from
36,
then
Western
on
down
to
Lincoln.
You
know
you
have
sloping
hills.
AC
You
have
just
this
quick
traffic,
but
I
think
we
have
an
opportunity
there
to
kind
of
remove
a
barrier
known
as
I
235
and
make
it
a
walkable
lit,
create
it
decorated
with
public
art
as
well.
I,
don't
know
if
that's
something
that
can
come
from
this
particular
project
or
if
we're
gonna
have
to
look
at
possible
unlisted
funds
and
maps,
but
I
just
think.
It's
critical
that
there's
a
walkability
component
to
this
well.
K
K
So
that
connection
I'm,
not
I'm,
gonna
keep
beating
that
drum,
because
that
to
me
is
also
a
huge
concern.
You
know.
I
saw
the
map
that
saying
you
know:
10
5,
minute,
walk,
10,
minute,
walk
and
when
I
think
about
that
corner,
I
mean
it's
I,
there's
a
urgent
care
over
here
that
I
went
to
once
I
got
off
at
the
18
bus
that
drops
you
off
at
36
in
Lincoln,
and
it's
I
mean
it's
feels
desolate,
because
sidewalks
are
essentially
non-existent
right.
Now
it's
a
four
lane
road
on
the
north
side,
yeah.
O
E
I
would
say
that
it
would
be
like
you
had
said,
you
know,
there's
different
funding
sources.
We
have
that
we
can
look
at
different
projects.
I,
wouldn't
imagine
that
there's
a
way
to
get
that
kind
of
a
project.
Out
of
this
I
mean
this.
This
budget
is
really
stretched
to
try
to
manage
just
this
project
and
take
care
of
this
property.
So
I
think
you
know.
Really.
E
You
know
the
increment,
but
there's
an
additional
1.3
million,
because
we
we
are
buying
the
remainder
of
the
property
to
build
all
of
the
parking
and
we
are
gonna
pay
for
the
construction
of
all
of
the
parking,
and
so
that's
that
additional
1.3
million
out
of
goal
to
help
cover
that
gap
already
that
we
have
just
in
trying
to
get
the
project
done.
So
it
would
have
to
be
another
funding
source,
but.
AA
But
you
know
back
to
the
pedestrian
issues.
You
know
that
was
one
thing
that
was
really
important
to
the
Planning
Commission,
that
we
consider
pedestrian
corridors
and
pathways
within
the
site.
So
you
know,
obviously
we
will
be
building
sidewalks.
You
know
on
all
the
site,
all
sides
of
the
site,
but
even
within
the
site
you
know.
So
how
do
you
get
from
the
senior
wellness
center
to
the
grocery
store
became
really
important
to
the
Planning
Commission?
So
we
made
sure
that
we
accommodated.
All
of
that
too
I
mean
we
want
this
to
be
know.
A
AB
AB
AB
Well,
it's
only
money
going
to
the
white
people.
That's
not
gonna
work.
This
Wellness,
Center
and
all
is
here,
is
quite
interesting
to
Michael,
and
let
me
say
it
well,
for
the
most
part,
don't
know
is
a
good
reason.
Why
I
came
in
here
today
because
I'm
gonna
spray
express
my
righteous
indignation
for
this
poppycock?
Read
that
up
in
your
dictionary
wondering
what
that
means.
AB
Now,
then,
there's
no
kind
of
way
that
you're
going
to
make
me
believe
that
you're
coming
in
with
this
redevelopment
for
the
purpose
of
satisfying
me
now
you
ready
for
this
one.
Everybody
know
that
homeland
is
one
of
the
most
expensive
stores
watch
out.
Michael,
don't
reveal
the
truth
to
him
with
their
products.
Don't
we
all
matter
of
fact
I
wonder
with
Michael
Washington
dear
just
the
other
day
I
compared
their
prices,
I
wouldn't
bought
me
a
can
of
green
peas,
I
loved,
cooking,
still,
corn.
AB
Guess
what
I
went
to
two
places
I
went
to
the
homeland
or
got
the
receipts
then
I
went
to
Walmart
did
y'all
know
that
homelands
price
was
66
more
for
can
of
beans,
green
beans
and
corn.
So
what
are
we
doing
here?
Are
you
intentionally
trying
to
help
pay
for
your
project
by
making
me
spend
more
money
with
you
to
offset
what
she's
going
to
charge
open
it?
That
could
quite
possibly
be
the
case.
Couldn't
it
be
now?
Not
only
this,
we
know
that
it's
gonna
be
nine
times
out
of
ten.
AB
If
I
spend
my
money
60
cent
per
mole
for
whatever
food.
Well
guess
what
I
almost
forgot
I
went
over
there
bought
I
like
chicken
wings,
I'm
gonna,
build
me
a
package
of
chicken
wings.
It
called
678
and
I
went
to
Walmart
gather
for
5:58
watch
out
Michael.
So
it's
not
designed
to
help
me.
It's
designed
to
justify
bringing
your
people
over
that's
right,
the
well
to
develop
their
family,
their
friends
just
like
y'all
done,
our
schools
you
hold
intent,
is
to
move
us
out.
Man
ain't,
nobody
crazy!
A
A
AB
O
Through
I
want
to
make
mentioned
that
this
is
not
for
just
one
individual.
This
grocery
store
is
for
the
community,
and
I
also
want
to
make
mention
to
as
we're
comparing
prices.
Let's
keep
in
mind
that
homeland
is
an
employee,
owned
and
operated
store,
and
these
these
employees,
these
new
employees
that
have
we
have
not
been
able
to
bring
jobs
of
this
magnitude
for
quite
some
time
to
this
community
that
will
be
employed
will
have
health
benefits
and
again
they
are
owners
of
this
store
once
they
become
employees.
So
I
think
those
are
great
things.
O
We
need
to
continue
to
make
mention
of
that,
and
also
as
we're
comparing
prices.
There
was
a
study
done
I
believe
in
2016
that
compared
the
prices
of
the
store
that
closed
on
23rd
and
MLK
to
some
of
the
other
stores
that
are
within
Oklahoma
City
in
that
particular
store
at
higher
prices
at
that
store
than
their
other
stores.
O
So,
let's,
let's,
if
we're
gonna,
if
we're
going
to
just
balance,
apples
and
oranges,
let's,
let's
truly
balance
some
apples
and
oranges
when
it
comes
to
making
sure
and
ensuring
we're
given
the
right
information
when
it
comes
to
what
this
is
going
to
be
so
again,
but
because
our
community
is
a
food
apartheid
or
experiencing
that
in
northeast
Oklahoma
City.
We're
experiencing
that
in
seven
three
one
on
one.
This
is
for
us
to
bring
healthy
outcomes
to
our
community
and
not
to
mention
a
pharmacy.
We
only
have
one
pharmacy
in
our
community.
O
R
N
AB
A
Spoke
already,
thank
you
any
other
comments
or
questions
I'll
just
say
thank
you
to
Cathy
and
Craig
and
Brent,
and
the
whole
team
from
a
staff
level
for
all
your
work.
For
many
years,
much
has
been
written
and
said
about
this
project,
but
I
just
reiterate
what
exciting,
what
it
is:
Tamela
and
the
whole
development
community.
That's
made
it
possible,
thank
you
and
then
obviously
the
elected
leadership,
starting
with
Councilwoman
Johnson,
all
the
way
to
Councilwoman
nice.
So,
thank
you.
A
So
much
with
that,
we
could
entertain
a
motion
to
introduce
the
resolution
for
final
consideration
of
December
17th.
Would
you
like
to
make
that
I've
got
a
motion
in
a
second
any
further
discussion?
Seeing
none
cast
your
votes
passes
unanimously
or
is
introduced
unanimously.
This
will
again
be
heard
a
final
consideration
on
December
17th.
A
E
AD
Ordinance
before
you
for
introduction
today
is
a
request
from
our
tax
counsel
for
the
Employee
Retirement
System.
This
particular
section
authorizes
the
board
of
directors
of
the
Employee
Retirement
System
to
invest
in
this
vehicle
of
group,
trust
it's
an
investment
vehicle
and
in
the
ordinance
when
it
was
adopted,
it
was
a
decision
made
to
list
the
names
of
the
different
group
trusts
and
we
had
not
updated
it
in
several
years
and
the
changes
today
just
updates
the
list
of
the
vehicles
that
were
investing
in.
A
Okay,
any
questions
for
Wylie
all
right.
Thank
you.
I
would
entertain
a
motion
to
introduce
the
ordinance
for
consideration,
got
a
motion
in
a
second
any
further
discussion,
seeing
non-cancer
votes.
It
is
introduced
unanimously
and
we'll
have
a
public
hearing.
December
17th
final
here
in
January
7th,
now
item
9
J.
This
is
an
ordinance
to
be
introduced
after
public
hearing
December
17th
final
hearing,
January
7th
relating
to
the
zoning
and
planning
code.
Believe
we
have
a
disc.
E
AE
AE
If
we
go
to
what
we'll
talk
briefly
about
the
area
conditions,
the
purpose,
the
proposed
boundary
and
the
regulations
themselves,
it's
a
fairly
brief
ordinance
but
I.
It
accomplishes
a
lot
and
we'll
get
through
that.
First
of
all,
we'll
go
to
the
area
conditions
and
the
area
is
defined
by
the
731
one,
one
zip
code
and
this
the
zip
code
has
been
talked
about
a
lot
because
it
has
poor
health
outcomes.
AE
We'll
talk
first,
though,
about
its
status
as
a
food
desert
it,
the
federal
government,
defines
a
food
desert
as
an
area
with
limited
access
to
affordable
and
nutritious
food,
particularly
when
there
are
low-income
areas,
neighborhoods
and
communities.
So
this
you
can
see
the
map
here,
on
the
right
hand,
side
the
vast
majority.
This
area
does
qualify
as
as
a
food
desert
area
conditions
continued.
We
have
a
75%
of
this
census.
Tracts
as
I
mentioned
are
due
qualifies
food
deserts
they're
low
income.
They
also
have
a
low
vehicle
access,
so
there
are
a
couple
of
different.
AE
Some
are
worse
than
others
in
terms
of
those
those
particular
statistics,
but
they
almost
all
fall
in
that
category.
In
addition,
as
councilman
ice
mentioned
earlier
in
related
to
agenda
item,
there
are
high
rates
of
cardiovascular
disease,
hypertension,
stroke,
heart
attack
and
diabetes.
Mortality
rates
are
just
higher.
There
do
the
low
health
health
outcomes,
the
City
County
Health
Department
has
health
index,
and
this
ranks
very,
very
low
47
out
of
the
56
ranked,
and
the
life
expectancy
is
almost
6
years
less
than
in
Oklahoma
City
County
on
average.
AE
Here's
the
proposed
boundary,
the
zip
code
itself
and
its
final
final
version
here
are
the
definitions
for
its
fresh
fruits
and
vegetables,
not
processed
or
frozen,
and
fresh
meat,
not
frozen,
cooked
or
dehydrated,
and
here's
the
definition
of
a
small
box.
Discount
storage
is
being
added
to
the
ordinance
as
a
new
definition,
so
that
we
can
be
precise
about
what
is
being
regulated
and
what
is
not,
and
just
the
ordinance
itself
is,
as
I
mentioned,
fairly
short
and
simple.
AE
So
just
a
couple
highlights
the
district
boundaries,
as
I
mentioned,
our
73
1
1
1,
zip
code
and
the
applicability,
so
it
does
not
apply
to
anything
that
is
currently
or
that
already
exists.
It
applies
to
new
new
stores
that
may
be
proposed
for
the
area
after
the
after
this
sorta
pass
or
after
the
date
of
the
the
small
box
discount,
store,
moratorium
came
effective
and
the
couple
final
points
that
the
distance,
the
seperation,
is
a
mile
50
to
80
feet.
AE
So
any
new
store
would
have
to
be
that
distance
from
an
existing
store,
small
box
discount
store
and
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
the
two
exceptions
are
at
the
store.
Has
a
pharmacy
if
a
proposed
store
has
a
pharmacy
which,
as
councilman
ice
mentioned,
is
in
great
need
in
the
area
or
if
it
has
a
500
square
feet
of
retail
floor
space
dedicated
to
fresh
fruits,
meat
and
vegetables?
AE
O
I,
don't
have
a
question,
but
I
did
want
to
make
mention.
I
know
here
in
our
presentation.
It
says
five
point:
nine
years
shorter
than
Oklahoma
City
average
I
just
want
to
make
mention
that
there
are
also
other
reports
that
say
eight
years
less
as
well,
so
we're
looking
at
from
six
to
18
years
less
in
just
this
one
zip
code
as
far
as
life
expectancy.
So
that
is
what
the
main
reason
for
this
healthy
neighborhood,
overlay
and
I
know.
O
They
have
spoken
to
some
of
those
convenience
stores
about
healthier
options
and
a
lot
of
those
stores
are
actually
open
to
of
offering
healthier
options
to
their
customers
and
their
consumers.
So
just
having
the
conversation
is
where
we
have
to
start
when
it
comes
to
healthy
outcomes
and
again
this
is
not
something
that's
permanent.
I
just
want
to
continue.
O
To
reiterate
this
is
not
anything
that's
permanent,
but,
as
you
can
see
from
just
the
area
conditions,
this
is
a
reason
why
we
have
to
have
some
kind
of
policy
in
place
to
help
increase
at
least
healthier
access
and
better
access
bar
communities,
so
they
can
be
able
to
thrive
and
give
back
to
not
only
their
community
but
to
this
great
city.
So,
thank
you
very
much.

E
We
had
a
presentation
on
this
on
November
the
5th
we
do
have
staff
here
from
airports
and
from
the
finance
department
to
speak
to
any
questions
that
we
have.
This
is
a
refunding
of
airport
debt
that'll
be
refunding
for
a
really
significant
savings,
so
just
the
bond
markets
in
a
position
that
it
allows
us
to
be
able
to
do
the
refunding
and
save
some
on
their
debt
service.
And
so
it's
really
good
opportunity
here
and
appreciate
the
work
of
the
staff
in
identifying
this
and
working
through
this
to
make
it
possible
and.
E
Yes,
we
have
to
wait.
We
have
to
waive,
could
better
be
competitive
bidding
because
on
fundings
we
we
use
a
negotiated
sale
rather
than
a
competitive
sale.
We
select
the
underwriters
through
a
competitive
process,
but
then
we
need
to
negotiate
its
sale
because
he
gives
more
flexibility
in
managing
the
process.
Okay,
so.
AF
A
I
asked
all
right:
why
don't
we?
We
can
go
ahead
and
do
the
first
vote
if
we,
if
there
is
a
motion
to
that
effect,
so
this
would
be
a
resolution
approving
the
incurrence
of
indebtedness
acquiring
six
votes.
Everyone
we
got
left
got
a
motion
in
a
second
any
further
discussion.
Seeing
none
cast
your
votes
passes
unanimously
and
with
Councilman
grinders
Laurel.
Yes,
and
now
we
will
pause
for
a
moment.
Did
he
indicate
he
was
coming
back
quickly?
Okay,
all
right!
All
right!
A
We
will
come
back
to
handle
that
no
problem
brings
us
to
a
joyful
item.
Item
nine.
Oh,
this
is
the
resolution
naming
the
future
recreation
center
at
Douglass
park
at
901,
North
Frederick,
Douglass
Avenue,
the
Willa
D
Johnson
recreation
center
at
Douglass
park
in
honor
of
Oklahoma
City,
civic
leader
Willa,
D
Johnson.
This
would
be
effective
upon
construction
of
the
facility
and
you
want
to
start
us
off.
Councilwoman
nice.
Yes,.
O
I
do
want
to
say
we
are
so
excited
that
she
is
here
with
us,
our
Councilwoman
and
County
Commissioner
Willa
D
Johnson,
and
we
also
want
to
acknowledge
mr.
Pettis
for
bringing
forth
this
nomination
for
her
and
her
accomplishment
as
a
civic
leader
and
a
servant
for
not
only
the
city
but
also
the
county.
So
we
appreciate
all
you've
done
and
thank
you
for
being
a
trailblazer.
It
is
because
of
you
that
I
sit
where
I
sit
so
I.
Thank
you
so
much
and
we
just
want
to
move
this
item
deep.
I,
don't
know.
S
I'll
bet
you
never
thought
you'd
see
me
humbled
enough
to
cry.
This
is
awesome.
Thank
you
so
much
and
thank
you,
young
people
for
stepping
in
here
and
taking
the
reins
of
this
city
and
moving
it
to
another
step
because
we've
needed
it
for
a
long
time.
I
was
a
part
of
the
first
Maps
program
and
we
had
naysayers
all
over,
but
it
worked
and
it's
keeping
them
working.
So
thank
you
so
very
much.
R
O
A
Got
a
motion
in
a
second
and
I'll.
Add
what
you
meant
to
me
is
a
friend
Councilwoman
and-
and
it
was
my
honor
to
stand
there
and
have
you
deliver
my
oath
of
office
almost
two
years
ago
and
thank
you
for
all
the
service
you've
given
to
this
city
and
and
and
to
me
in
friendship
to
me
personally.
So
thank
you
so
much
any
further
discussion.
A
All
right,
why
don't
we
return
the
item?
9
in
this
was
the
resolution
approving
the
incurrence
of
indebtedness.
We
needed
a
second
vote
of
7
affirmative
votes
to
waive
competitive
bidding
and
we
now
have
our
magic
lucky
number
7,
so
I
would
entertain
a
motion
got
a
motion
in
a
second
any
further
discussion.
Seeing
then
cast
your
votes
passes
unanimously
and
with
the
required
7
votes
with
Councilman
grinders
spoken.
Yes,
okay
back
to
the
agenda
now
9
P,
we
will
enter
into
executive
session
to
discuss
collective
bargaining
negotiations
for
fiscal
year
2019
through
2020.
A
Got
a
motion
in
a
second
ago,
in
an
executive
session,
any
discussion
seen
then
cast
your
votes
passes
unanimously.
We
will
handle
that
executive
session
at
the
conclusion
of
our
other
business.
Now
he
brings
us
to
9q1
claims
recommended
for
denial
and
we
actually
have
someone
who
has
spoke,
who
signed
up
to
speak
on
item
9
q,
1b,
Jacki,
Pearson,.
I
AG
Thank
you
for
hearing
me,
I
have
a
I
got,
I
was
driving
down
B.
Now
this
is
August.
The
9th
I
worked
for
post
mates,
GrubHub
trying
to
make
a
living
I'm
a
veteran
and
I'm
driving
down
the
street,
and
these
are
black
things
they're
for
the
water
department.
One
was
up
and
it
blew
out
two
of
my
cars
on
both
on
my
left
hand.
On
my
right
hand,
side
I
have.
AG
AG
I
didn't
ask
when
I
put
in
my
claim
to
be
reimbursed
for
the
money
I
lost
because
of
not
being
able
to
work
because
of
that
metered
deal
being
up
because
I
mean
I
felt
like
another
trivial
all
I
want
was
my
pet
hog
replaced
I
didn't
think
that
was
too
much
to
ask.
Considering
you
know:
you're
a
gust
body
is
responsible
for
the
streets
and
for
the
upkeep
of
city
buildings.
I
found
out
yesterday
after
having
called
many
times
that
y'all
were
denying
it
and
from
what
I
understood.
AG
Reading
the
Bill
of
Rights
I,
remember
the
Bill
of
Rights
but
written
to
protect
us
the
people
from
the
government,
not
the
government
from
us
what
you
have
done
or
what
the
state
has
done
is
just
deal
it,
make
it
work.
We,
the
people,
our
subsidiary
to
you
I,
come
back
to
say
that
if
I
as
an
individual
go
a
mile
home,
have
somebody
get
hurt
or
they
have
a
problem
on
their
property
on
my
property
because
of
something
that
was
there.
AG
Even
though
I
didn't
know
it
was
there
I'm
responsible,
there's
nobody
else
responsible,
but
me
I
know
that
I'm
talking
speaking
to
you
on
deaf
ears,
I
know
you
won't
change.
What
you're
going
to
do,
but
I
want
to
say
it
I.
Think
it's
important
that
be
said.
We
are
the
people.
We
have
the
right,
he
treated
barely
teeth.
Just
because
your
law
says
you
don't
have
to
pay
me
doesn't
mean
that
I
didn't
do
everything.
AG
I
should
and
could
do
to
present
the
evidence
to
show
that
I
should
be
paid
and
I
think
any
time
the
city
stopped
taking
care
of
the
people
who
have
legitimate
can't
claims.
Then
they
have
a
real
problem
within
themselves,
because
you
know
all
ye
people
are
re
servants
to
us
and
not
being
rude.
When
I
say
that
we
pay
your
salaries,
you
don't
pay
our.
We
should
have
least
have
justice.
We
should
at
least
have
what's
right,
y'all
can
do
what
you
want
to,
but
I've
said
my
piece
thank.
AH
Thank
You
Dustin
Paris
assistant
municipal
councillor.
This
is
a
claim
for
$80.00
arising
from
mr.
Pearson,
renting
over
a
water
valve
in
the
street
in
Ward
7.
So
what
we
do
in
claims
of
this
nature,
you
know
we
ask,
was
the
city
negligent
in
maintaining
its
equipment
or,
alternatively,
did
we
failed
to
properly
exercise
a
duty
of
care,
so
I
reached
out
to
the
line
maintenance,
division
of
the
utilities
department
and
they
send
out
a
field
operating
supervisor
to
invite
to
inspect
this
valve?
AH
It
was
inspected
and
it
was
found
to
be
in
proper
working
order.
It
was
not
sticking
up
when
our
guys
inspected
it,
so
the
Supreme
Court
has
held
that
a
city
can
be
liable
when
it
has
actual
or
constructive
notice
of
a
defect
in
the
street
and
because
there
were
no
work
orders
in
the
last
six
months,
which
is
the
metric
that
we
use.
There
was
no
prior
notice,
there
was
no
actual
notice
or
constructive
notice
of
a
defect,
and
that's
why
it's
being
recommended
for
denial.
I
AG
O
Sir
I
appreciate
that,
and
he
I'm
concerned
too,
because
if
he
has
the
the
documentation
and
obviously
as
residents
in
individuals
who
may
not
have
experienced
this
before,
but
have
the
documentation,
there
has
to
be
something
that
we
we
should
be
able
to
do
when
it
comes
to
this.
So
I
guess.
My
question
is
obviously
with
with
the
documentation
that
he
has.
That
shows
that
the
valve
was
up.
H
Oklahoma
law
requires
that
we
have
prior
notice
before
the
accident
occurs,
and
so
that's
when
what
Dustin
was
explaining
as
we
go
through
and
we
ask
the
departments,
did
you
have
prior
notice
we'll
be
notified
where
we
give
in
a
work
order?
We
look
back
as
far
as
six
months
in
this
location.
There
were
no
work
orders
for
this
location.
We
had
no
prior
notice.
So
therefore,
under
the
Oklahoma
law,
the
city
of
Oklahoma
City
can't
be
held
liable
for
the
defect,
as
he
approached
it
on
the
day
that
it
occurred,
we
don't
dispute.
H
AG
I
say
something
he
didn't
clip
up.
It
was
already
up
now,
whether
you
got
prior
notice
or
not
I.
Don't
have
responsibility
for
that,
and
you
know
what
nobody
else
has
sponsibility
for
you
having
prior
notice
about
something
that
happened
to
us
on
your
streets.
If
Noah
is
it's
your
job,
it's
the
city's
job
to
take
care
of
the
street,
not
mine,
not
anybody
else's,
it's
the
city's
job
and
when
they
do
make,
when
they
do
had
accidents,
happen
and
I'm,
not
blaming
the
city.
AG
N
AC
A
T
A
A
Right,
we
have
a
motion
in
a
second
to
approve
mr.
Pearson's
claim
for
$80.
Any
further
discussion
scene
then
cast
your
votes.
Well,
your
red
light
does
work.
Yeah,
we
think
prove
that
okay,
so
that's
that
passes
a
lot
of
math
James
that
that
passes.
What
do
there
is
six
to
one?
Okay,
all
right!
Thank
you.
A
We
are
back
on
q1
the
remaining
items,
a
C,
D
and
E.
Is
there
anyone
else
who
wishes
to
speak?
See
none
I'm,
I,
don't
believe
we
need
an
executive
session.
Is
there
a
motion
to
deny
the
other
claims
got
a
motion
in
a
second
any
further
discussion.
Seeing
none
cast
your
votes
passes
unanimously.
Now
we're
at
ten
a
one
claims
recommended
for
approval
items
A
through
G,
don't
believe
we
need
executive
session.
Is
there
a
motion
to
approve
these
claims
on
a
motion
in
a
second
any
further
discussion?
A
Seeing
none
cast
your
votes
passes
unanimously,
brings
us
to
items
from
Council
item
a1
and
to
is
deferred
to
December
17th,
which
means
we'll
hear
from
council
members.
Maybe
do
something
unorthodox,
we'll
start
with
the
former
council
member
who
has
signed
up
to
speak
with
the
notation
something
I
forgot.
So
why
don't
we
begin
this
journey
around
the
horseshoe
with
seventh
heaven,
former
councilman
Willie
Johnson.
S
Those
who've
been
here
a
long
time,
know
me
and
I
do
forget
stuff,
but
I
wanted
to
say
not
only
thank
you
to
you
but
to
thank
mr.
John
Pettis.
He
has
worked
terribly
for
this
and
I
always
forget
to
say
thank
you.
I
say
it
to
him
personally,
but
I
want
Oklahoma
City
to
know
how
are
these
work
to
help
me
get
this
honor
and
there
is
no
better
honor
for
anybody
anywhere.
So
Thank
You
mayor,
okay,.
O
First
of
all,
I
do
want
to
say
this
is
this
is
exciting
to
be
a
part
of
of
this
type
of
naming
of
someone
for
a
recreational
center.
So
again
and
I
know
mr.
Pettis
called
me.
He
said
Nicky.
This
is
something
I
want
to
do,
and
I
said:
let's,
let's
do
it
and
he
did.
He
did
all
the
legwork
for
us
to
get
to
this
point
and
just
to
see
the
joy
on
Miss
Johnson's
face.
O
It
obviously
brings
excitement
to
us
all
and
speaks
to
the
legacy
of
women
in
leadership
and
what
women
can
do
when
they
become
servants
for
our
city
in
our
state
in
our
nation.
I
do
want
to
mention
a
couple
things.
We
had
an
exciting
time
a
couple
Fridays
ago
with
restore
OKC
the
Friday
before
Thanksgiving.
O
No,
it
wasn't.
It
was
a
22nd
so
that
wasn't
the
Friday
before
Thanksgiving.
Yes,
it
was.
It
was
a
Friday
before
Thanksgiving,
either
way
restore
OKC
along
with
homeland
and
Oklahoma
City
Thunder.
They
gave
out
over
400
turkey
baskets
to
families
within
the
community.
So
we
want
to
just
excited
about
what
they've
done
and
also
want
to
announce
that
their
community
market
is
open,
which
is
a
Co
store
and
they
are
open,
Monday,
Wednesday
and
Friday
from
9:00
to
noon
in
4:00
to
7:00
and
as
needed
and
in
spring
2020.
O
They
will
be
open
six
days
a
week.
So
again,
this
is
a
co-op
store
which
is
a
Community
Market
and
it's
for
the
residents
or
anyone
who
can
get
to
the
area
of
restore
OKC
to
be
a
part.
Also,
the
Northeast
community
collaborative
they
were
the
following
day.
They
were
at
the
Douglas
Center
and
it
was
over
over
20
partners
in
total
and
over
500
families
were
served
that
day.
So
that
means
in
two
days
over
900
families
received
turkey
baskets
for
Thanksgiving
and
I.
Do
understand
like
that
next
day,
which
was
a
Saturday.
O
One
of
the
churches
gave
away,
and
I
do
understand
this
past
week,
that
the
radio
station
gave
an
additional
250
turkeys
away.
So
you
know
when
you
have
community
that
comes
together
for
a
common
cause
to
make
sure
residents
are
meeting
the
need
of
having
at
least
an
option
to
feed
their
families
for
Thanksgiving.
O
They
were
all
at
the
Northeast
collaborative
a
lot.
We
asked
for
them
to
come
and
be
a
part
and
without
hesitation
they
were
there.
So
I
just
want
to
personally
extend
a
thank
you
again
to
all
of
all
of
those
entities
for
being
a
part
of
volunteering
and
just
enjoying
this
momentous
occasion
and
I
also
want
to
make
mention
of
a
food
security.
O
We
have
another
young
lady
that
is
a
professor
at
Spelman
and
she
researched
food
security
and
inequities
in
Washington
DC
in
an
area
that
is
very
similar
to
northeast
Oklahoma
City,
and
she
has
a
book
that
I'm
currently
reading
so
she'll
be
talking
about
that,
and
we
also
have
a
professor
who
is
at
USC,
but
she
grew
up
in
northeast
Oklahoma,
City
and
she's
going
to
be
a
part
of
this
symposium
as
well.
So
if
anyone
wants
information,
is
it's
absolutely
free
for
anyone
to
attend?
The
information
is
in
e
OKC
food
security
dot-com.
O
T
D
T
Was
hilarious
last
night
and
I
also
learned
that
they
have
a
we
couldn't
decide
if
it
was
a
motorcycle
group
or
a
gang
might
be
a
gang
I,
don't
know,
but
they
go
out
and
they
raise
money
quite
a
sizable
amount
of
money
that
they
use
to
provide
services
for
people
displaced
by
fire.
So
families
I,
don't
know.
If
you
could
imagine
if
your
residence
burns
down,
you
know
what
do
you
do?
T
A
AC
Thank
you.
First
I
wanted
to
thank
the
Tower
Theatre
for
hosting
an
annual.
What
I,
during
my
term,
will
make
an
annual
better
streets.
Maps
for
maps
were
passed.
It's
all
be
sure
to
update
people
just
as
I'll
be
updating
people
annually
on
better
streets
projects,
knowing
what's
going
on
on
a
year-to-year
basis,
what's
been
completed
and
what's
on
the
horizon,
asking
residents
to
add
their
voice
to
that
conversation
got
a
lot
of
good
feedback
from
it.
AC
AC
So
to
that
I'd
like
to
thank
our
city
manager,
Craig
Freeman
for
being
there
that
night
I
want
to
thank
embarked
planning
chief
Worley,
Public,

I
would
also
like
to
invite
everyone
to
an
event
in
the
Cleveland
neighborhood
they
reached
out
to
me.
I'll
just
read
this.
AC
They
say
join
us
and
the
holiday
tunes
of
the
Cleveland
choral
ears.
A
must,
see
and
hear
for
this
special
event.
The
block
will
be
filled
with
the
sound
of
Carol's,
complimentary,
hot,
cocoa
and
cookies.
To
follow
a
little
reindeer
told
me
there
might
be
a
special
sighting
of
dear
st.
Nick
so
be
sure
to
dress
the
kids
for
photos
and
all
their
donations
will
go
to
support
smart
for
Cleveland.
It's
a
community
nonprofit
founded
by
the
Cleveland
elementary
school
parents
that
fund
steam
education
for
that
school.
AC
So
you
can
find
more
about
that
on
social
media.
I
can't
attend
because
I'm
going
to
see
I
think
a
Christmas
carol
on
Saturdays
at
the
Civic
Center,
but
I
just
wanted
to
put
that
out
there
that
some
of
the
stuff
going
on
in
Ward
2.
But
again
my
sincere
thank
you
to
city
staff
and
to
the
residents
who
attended
this
last
week.
So
thank
you
so
much.

to
get
ready
for
our
next
event,
which
is
this
Thursday
we'll
go
ahead
and
get
started.
Downtown
in
December,
presented
by
Devin
is
a
series
of
more
than
30
holiday
events
and
attractions
that
take
place
in
downtown
Oklahoma,
City
I
hope
you've
had
a
chance
to
already
attend
some
of
them
and
the
debin
ice
rink
is
returning
for
its
eighth
year.
AI
Next,
we
have
Saturday's
with
Santa,
and
this
year
is
going
to
be
known
as
weekend
with
Santa
it's
going
to
be
December,
7th
and
8th,
held
at
the
myriad
gardens
this
year.
Instead
of
in
the
devin
rotunda
Santa
visits,
our
first-come,
first-serve
you'll
create
holiday
crafts,
listen
to
music
and
it's
free
and
open
to
the
public.
AI
The
Sandridge
Santa
run
is
going
to
be
Saturday
December
14th,
that's
going
to
include
a
5k
and
a
one-mile
costume
contest
with
cash
prizes
and
registration
is
now
open.
All
proceeds
from
this
event
do
go
to
the
downtown
Oklahoma
City
Partnership
and
initiatives
which
will
continue
to
fund
marketing
and
promotion
for
downtown
Oklahoma,
City,
public
art,
street
cleaning,
landscaping
and
lighting
lights
on
Broadway
was
on
Saturday
November
23rd
and
was
free
and
open
to
the
public.
AI
It
was
all
along
Broadway
and
it
was
a
beautiful
night
outside
we
had
an
estimated
4,500
people
attend
this
year.
It
was
a
really
nice
event.
The
tree
lighting
festival,
Thank
You
mayor
for
lighting
the
tree
again
this
year
was
wonderful.
We
just
got
our
estimated
numbers
in
and
it
looks
like.
There
was
just
over
4600
people
in
attendance.
It
was
rescheduled
to
Saturday
the
30th
due
to
rain,
but
that
didn't
affect
any
of
our
numbers.
AI
Then
we
have
our
free
holiday
taxi.
Water
rides
the
first
night
that
the
water
taxi
rides
went,
live,
which
would
be
the
same
night
as
the
the
tree
lighting
I
was
told.
There
was
an
estimated
a
thousand
people
that
took
the
free
boat,
which
is
really
nice.
This
these
events
will
run
this
event
will
run
through
the
29th
of
December.
AI
We
also
have
the
holiday
pop-up
shops
that
began
on
Black
Friday
there
on
Northwest,
10th
and
Hudson
in
Midtown,
over
30
rotating
shops
and
there's
free
entry
this
year.
As
you
can
see,
we've
got
a
list
of
even
more
events
happening
and
it's
even
easier
to
get
around
thanks
to
the
free
streetcar
rides
that
are
going
to
be
Friday
through
Sunday,
ending
January
5th
dog
day
in
December
is
coming
up
in
Midtown.
AI
This
Thursday
might
be
a
little
bit
rainy,
but
I
think
the
dogs
won't
mind
and
Santa
will
be
there
to
take
pictures
with
all
of
the
pups.
Mary
Gardens
will
have
their
activities
and
then
we'll
end
festivities,
with
Arts
Council's
opening
night.
So
I
hope
that
you
guys
can
enjoy
at
least
one
of
the
events
you.
A
AB
AJ
AJ
Pettis
and
the
board
of
Park
commissioners
just
saw
you
know
a
lot
of
history
there
with
the
board
of
park,
commissioners
and
unequivocally
a
unanimous
vote
from
them
to
recomm
and,
as
the
naming
committee
to
the
City,
Council
and
I
know
that
we
all
feel
the
same
way
about
Miss
Johnson
and
what
she's
done
for
our
community.
Okay,
we're
here
to
talk
about
the
City
Council
priority
of
enhancing
recreation
opportunities
and
community
wellness,
and
and
it's
it's
a
long
mission
statement
that
was
put
together
by
the
City
Council.
AJ
Some
of
our
priority
indicators
percent
of
residents
that
are,
that
report
regularly
j''r
time
physical
activities
percent
of
residents
within
a
half
mile
of
a
recreational
trail
or
park
percent
of
residents,
satisfied
with
the
maintenance
of
our
city
parks
and
percent
of
residents.
That
report
using
an
Oklahoma,
City,
Park
or
attending
a
park
program
more
than
ten
times
per
year.
AJ
Percent
of
residents
report
regularly
j''r
time
physical
activity.
We've
we've
always
set
the
bar
at
a
fairly
high
number,
but
you
know
we
we're
getting
sixty
five
percent
of
our
citizens
participating
somehow
someway
in
our
parks.
We
had
a
weird
anomaly:
I,
don't
I,
don't
know
what
happened
in
2017
that
we
dropped
to
41
percent,
but
our
average
over
the
last
few
years
has
been
sixty
three
point:
two,
our
goal
is
to
get
to
70
percent
and
we
are
creating
new
programs,
our
recreation
staff
and
our
naturalist
staff
are
creating
new
opportunities.
AJ
Every
quarter
to
spark
new
enthusiasm
for
the
use
of
our
facilities.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
a
larger
percentage
of
our
residents
are
within
one-half
mile
of
a
recreation
facility
and
and
they
have
the
opportunity
to
use
our
assets.
The
city
assets
that
they've
voted
through
maps,
one
through
maps
three
through
geo
bonds,
things
along
those
and
one
of
the
statistics
that
I
wanted
to
share
with
you.
AJ
One
of
our
partner
groups
actually
put
a
counter
on
the
Bert
Cooper
trail
out
at
Lake
Hefner
and
in
one
year's
time
we
had
1.2
million
users
of
the
Bert
Cooper
trail.
So
we
know
that
the
trail
systems
throughout
the
city
are
being
used
and
it's
it's
one
of
those
things
that
is
a
primary
indicator
of
what
mr.
AJ
Cooper
this
Hammond
and
Miss
nice
have
been
talking
about
since
they
joined
the
bench
and
that's
walkability
and
all
of
our
trail
systems,
whether
it's
the
Will
Rogers
trail
that
goes
from
Lake
Hefner
to
the
river,
that
that's
the
primary
exercise
point
for
those
neighborhoods
that
touch
the
Will
Rogers
trail.
So
we
are
making
an
impact
and
we
are
being
able
to
recognize
that
being
within
a
half
mile.
Another
one
is
the
percent
of
residents
satisfied
with
maintenance
of
the
city
parks.
AJ
AJ
The
mayor
has
challenged
us
to
look
at
trying
to
get
to
once
a
week
mowing
and
we
are
putting
that
analysis
together
and
working
with
the
budget
office
to
bring
some
real
thought
back
to
the
City
Council
during
the
next
budget
process
park,
maintenance
mowing
you
can
see
the
number
of
acres
that
we
do.
You
got
to
think
think
about
those
1,800
acres
as
being
a
lot
more.
You
know
if
we're
mowing
1,800
acres
30
times
you
can
do
the
math.
AJ
AJ
It
would
be
easier
on
us
if
we
could
find
more
capable
people
to
work
and
we
want
to
fill
all
of
our
vacancies
and
it's
kind
of
a
plug
that
we
need
people
to
join
the
city's
workforce
percent
of
residents
using
a
park
or
attending
a
park
program
more
than
ten
times
a
year
10
times
a
year.
I,
don't
know
whether
the
the
the
regular
users
at
Bert
Cooper
really
realize
that
they're
using
a
park
element
when
they
when
they,
if
they
are
a
member
of
the
folks
that
get
surveyed.
AJ
But
if
you
look
at
five
times,
we
go
up
quite
a
bit.
I
think
they
understand
what
it
is
to
be
able
to
participate
in
the
park
program
or
use
a
recreational
facility,
but
we're
striving
to
create
more
opportunities
to
try
to
drive
those
numbers
up
and
again,
as
we
were
talking
about
the
the
new
senior
health
and
wellness
going
in
the
northeast
section
and
the
walkability
from
from
one
neighborhood
under
the
interstate
and
getting
people
to
those
assets.
AJ
AJ
There
are
people
participating
in
athletics,
76,000
participants
of
our
aquatic
centers
recreation,
centers
we've
had
101
129,000
participators,
not
it's
participations,
it
may
be
the
same
person
taking
multiple
classes
and
at
our
two
senior
centers
we've
had
15,000
participants
use
the
our
two
senior
centers
for
next
year's
numbers,
we're
going
to
capture
what
the
the
maps
three
senior
health
and
wellness
or
our
participatory
as
well.
We
couldn't
do
it
without
park
partners.
As
I
said,
we
had
one
partner
that
that
counted
the
people
that
used
the
Burke
Cooper
trail.
We
have
a
lot
of
partners.
AJ
This
is
just
a
handful
of
the
participants
that
that
are
partners
that
have
programs
in
our
facilities
that
we
want
to
recognize
the
work
that
they
do.
The
Police
Athletic
League
is
a
big
participant
in
our
soccer
program.
The
Boys
and
Girls
Clubs
has
high
numbers
at
all
of
their
facilities
and,
of
course,
the
Oklahoma
wellness
Alliance
is
bringing
all
of
those
participants
together
so
that
we
have
a
common
thread
and
we
have
a
common
goal
and
we
have
a
common
social
media
presence.
AJ
Some
of
the
innovative
programs
that
we've
had
over
the
last
couple
of
years,
sunrise
yoga
at
Will,
Rogers
Gardens,
that's
that's
a
big
hit.
Our
outdoor
fitness
course
of
which
we
opened
this
year
have
been
very
busy,
the
five
of
them
that
are
across
the
city
and
we're
looking
forward
to
adding
additional
ones
in
the
future
enhance
recreational
opportunities.
This
is
one
of
the
things
that
we've
gleamed
from
publications
in
parks
and
recreation.
AJ
Youth
Harper
to
participate
in
extracurricular
activities
are
more
likely
than
non
participants
to
have
a
higher
self-esteem,
a
greater
academic
achievement,
lower
incidence
of
delinquency
and
improve
test
scores
in
both
reading
math
and
after
they
begin
participation
in
after-school
programs.
So
we
want
to.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
stay
strong
in
that
endeavor.
As
the
school
district
we
repurposed
some
of
their
schools.
AJ
We
had
to
repurpose
some
of
our
programming
to
be
available
and
ready
for
those
new
school
attendees
at
the
middle
schools,
where
we
used
to
have
active
after
school
for
elementary
schools.
So
so
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
might
have.
I
think
it
was
a
good
year
for
Parks
and
Recreation
and
we're
really
we're
looking
for
a
strong,
2020
and
obviously
we'll
be
real
happy
after
December
10th
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
K
I
do
have
just
a
comment.
I
just
want
to.
Thank
you
all
for
the
kind
of
innovative
programs.
I
am
a
participant
at
the
yoga
at
the
Civic
Center
on
a
regular
basis,
and
it's
just
a
five
dollar
yoga
class.
Every
Tuesday
Thursday
during
one
time
and
before
I
started
participating
in
that
I
was
trying
to
afford
going
to
yoga
classes
at
private
studios
across
the
city,
and
it
just
wasn't
working
for
me.
K
It's
just
my
budget
does
not
allow
you
know
$20
classes,
so
that
really
has
been
kind
of
a
huge
lifesaver
budget
helper
for
me
and
I
know
all
the
other
folks
that
work
downtown
that
access
that
just
it's
it's
really,
it's
not
even
just
a
class
anymore.
It's
really
become
kind
of
a
community,
and
so
those
opportunities,
I
think
are
just
so
important
for,
like
you
said
just
the
health
and
wellness
of
our
city.
So
I
just
want
to
say
what
you
all
do.
Thank.
O
AJ
Steady,
we
did
have
a
loss
of
participation
at
our
early
wine
family
Aquatic
Center,
when
the
more
Parks
Department
opened
up
their
new
park
with
their
their
aquatic
facility.
So
we
we
lost
a
few
of
the
more
patrons
to
their
own
facility,
but
but
it's
been
fairly
steady.
The
the
last
pool
that
was
the
last
two
pools
that
I
remember
that
were
demolished
right
after
I
got
here
in
May
of
2014
was
at.
O
O
The
reason
I
ask
is
because
I
have
quite
a
few
residents
that
live
in
that
particular
part
of
our
community
that
are
speaking
about
that.
Will
they
still
talk
about
that
pool
being
closed
and
how
they
don't
have
access
to
a
pool
closest
to
them
that
they
would
like
to
go
to
within
Oklahoma
City
and
not
have
to
travel
outside
of
Oklahoma
City
instead
of
going
to
Midwest
City
to
participate
in
in
their
their
pool
system.
So
that's
just
a
concern.
I
was
having
so
that
was
a
question.
I
was
just
curious
about
participation.
P
AJ
Neighborhood
I
go
to
visit
with
the
Taylor
neighborhood
a
lot
and
they
they
always
bring
up
their
missing
pool
as
well.
It
it's
one
of
those
things
that
different
times
different
different
issues.
I.
Thank
you.
Just
as
a
side
note
for
the
yoga,
I
have
an
aunt
that
turned
108
last
Thursday
on
Thanksgiving
and
she
owes
her
longevity
at
starting
yoga
at
the
age
of
60
and
she
still
does
it
so
so.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
I
appreciate
it.
