B
All

and

We

A
All
right,
I
call
this
meeting
of
the
City
Council
to
order.
We
have
one
item
under
office
of
the
mayor.
It
is
a
resolution
of
commendation
for
James
D
couch,
our
city
manager,
who
is
on
his
last
day
on
the
job
after
18
years,
the
city
manager
and
we've
just
got
a
couple
hours
worth
of
program.
Now
that
we're
going
to
begin
and
to
do
that,
I'm
gonna
make
my
way
down
to
the
front.
A
All
right,
well,
I,
think
everybody
on
the
horse.
She's
gonna,
obviously
have
a
few
words
to
say,
but
maybe
so
they
know
they
don't
have
to
cover
your
bio,
we'll
start
with
I've
had
to
think
this
morning
about
how
to
stage
all
this,
but
we're
gonna
start
with
the
reading
of
most
of
the
resolution.
Honoring
you
all
the
we're
asses,
so
we
can
kind
of
be
reminded
of
your
greatness,
so
so
thought
that
would
set
the
right
tone.
So
Frances,
if
you
wouldn't
mind,
reading
the
warehouses
from
the
resolution,
whereas.

He
led
efforts
to
ensure
the
city's
long
term,
access
to
dependable
water
sources
by
securing
rights
to
Canton,
Lake
and
Sardis
Lake,
and
he
negotiated
two
agreements
with
the
MBA
to
relocate
the
New
Orleans
Hornets
and
the
relocation
of
the
Oklahoma
City
Thunder,
pitting
Oklahoma
City
on

schools
and
seven
hundred
and
seventy
seven
million
dollars
for
the
maps
three
program
grads
during
his
tenure
as
city
manager.
He
has
served
twenty
seven
council
members,
three
mayors
and
appointed
fourteen
of
the
fifteen
current
department,
director,
Thank.
A
You
Francis
we'll
leave
it
there,
but
we
will
return
to
that
resolution
in
a
few
minutes.
We
closed
there
with
the
thought
of
the
reminder
that
you
appointed
14
of
the
15
current
department
directors,
who
is
the
15th
Diana
Barry.
She
outlasted
you,
okay,
so
Debbie
right,
but
one
of
those
department
heads
specifically
asked
this
morning
to
make
a
special
presentation.
So
why
don't
we
go
there
now,
chief
city,
if
you'd
like
to
come
forward,
I'll
give
you
the
mic
and
the
floor
is
yours:
Thank.
E
You
mayor
I'm
gonna
present
the
city
manager
with
an
empty
box.
This
morning,
it's
only
empty
because
this
afternoon,
after
five
o'clock
were
going
to,
we
had
a
new
flag,
Oakland
city
city
of
Oklahoma
City,
flag
flown
in
front
of
City
Hall.
This
morning,
it's
going
to
fly
all
day
on
his
last
day.
We're
gonna
have
the
honor
guard
fold
it
and
place
it
in
this
box
for
his
last
day
on
the
job
and.
E
So
so
there
is
so
on.
The
box
is
presented
to
city
manager,
James
D,
couch
city
of
Oklahoma,
City,
August,
17th,
1987
to
January,
2nd
2019.
This
flag
was
flown
at
City
Hall
on
January,
2nd
2019,
the
final
day
of
the
longest
serving
city
manager
in
Oklahoma,
City's
history.
During
his
18
years,
a
city
manager
he
has
left
a
legacy
as
well
as
unselfishly,
helped
others
define
theirs.
Oklahoma
City
will
forever
be
a
better
place
for
his
commitment
to
our
community.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
Well,
now
I
thought
we
might
go
around
the
horseshoe,
you
don't
have
to
speak,
but
but
this
is
this
is
our
final
moment.
We've
all
had
opportunities,
I
think
to
say
a
few
words
over
the
last
few
months
since
the
announcement
of
your
retirement,
but
but
yeah,
but
this
is
the
final
day.
So
why
don't?
We
start
with
Ward
one
yep.
C
Well,
Jim,
on
our
first
meeting
after
I
got
elected.
It
was
about
six
years
ago.
You
talked
a
lot
about
unity
and
the
civility
of
the
council
and
and
how
it
was
so
important
to
our
success
and
how
a
lot
of
other
cities
don't
have.
That
and
I
think
that
you
are
a
credit
to
to
that
aspect
of
our
council,
because
you,
you
somehow
have
a
gift
of
taking
nine
different
ideas
and
about
the
same
subject
and
coming
up
with
a
solution
that
most
of
us
and
some
in
a
lot
of
times.
F
C
A
gift
that
you
have
and
and
will
be
missed
and
so
I
think
that
this
council,
the
city,
is
going
to
miss
you
greatly
and
I
think
that
the
citizens
of
Oklahoma
City,
even
though
they
do
might
not
even
know
that
they're
gonna
miss
you
are
gonna,
miss
you
and
so
I
want
to.
Thank
you
for
your
hard
work.
Dedication,
your
common
sense
and
in
your
friendship
and
I,
wish
you
the
best
with
everything
that
they
do.
C
G
Think
you
are
the
person
that
is
the
most
important
in
securing
not
just
years
of
water
for
the
city
but
decades,
and
this
will
become
more
and
more
important
as
the
century
progresses
and
I.
Just
can't
express
my
gratitude,
my
gratitude
for
my
kids
and
future
generations
and
I
hope
that
this
council
and
future
councils
can
help
connect
those
dots
because
I
think
50
years
from
now.
G
A
lot
of
the
things
will
be
forgotten,
but
that's
that's
the
one
thing
that
I
think
needs
to
be
associated
with
Jim,
couch
and
I
hope
that
we
can
help
connect
those
dots
for
the
history
books.
I'm
also
very
grateful
that
you'll,
your
skills
will
now
be
working
with
the
United
Way
and
all
the
people
that
will
benefit
from
your
skills
and
I'm.
Grateful
that
you
that
you're
going
to
be
working
with
them
thanks
Jim.
H
Jim,
it's
been
an
honor
to
serve
under
you
as
the
city
manager
of
Oklahoma
City
all
these
years.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
commitment
to
the
citizens,
but
thank
you
for
your
personal
character
and
the
trail
that
you've
blazed
as
far
as
personal
integrity
and
for
the
legacy
that
you're
going
to
leave
and
the
lives
of
not
only
the
citizens,
but
the
staff
that
you've
put
together
and
I
see
your
wife
down
here.
Congratulations
and
God
bless
you
as
you
go
into
retirement
I.
I
Think
everybody
used
every
word
I'd
planned
on
using,
but
I
would
just
like
to
say
thank
you
so
much
for
all
that
you've
done
for
the
city
as
the
city,
councilman
I
really
have
appreciated
the
transparency
when,
when
discussing
issues
and
your
ability
to
be
forthright
in
your
communication
as
a
councilman,
I
really
have
appreciated
that.
But
I
can
tell
you,
as
a
citizen
of
Oklahoma.
City
I
really
really
do
appreciate
your
tenure
here
and
wish
you
nothing,
but
the
best
going
forward.
K
D
Jim
I
don't
know
if
you're
aware,
but
I
am
your
longest
tenured
appointment
going
to
point
back
to
2002
and
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
for
teaching
me
what
the
true
meaning
of
a
public
servant
is
not
only
by
your
leadership
but
just
watching
you
in
day
to
day
operations.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity.
L
Jim,
thank
you
for
all
your
your
work
here
as
a
city
manager
and
personally,
you've
been
so
helpful
to
me
and
I'm
sure
for
every
other
member
of
the
council.
When
we
first
take
on
this
role,
I,
don't
think
anybody
really
understands
what
their
responsibilities
are,
and
you
really
helped
us
get
through
that
learning
stage
which
takes
about
I'm
going
to
say
12
years.
L
Each
of
us
just
have
one
ward
to
be
responsible
for
other
than
the
mayor,
who
has
the
whole
city,
but
Jim
you've
got
all
4,000
employees
all
the
issues
that
affect
us
individually
as
as
members
of
the
council,
and
it
just
never
ceases
and
you're.
Just
a
tremendous
hard
worker
and
I
appreciate
that
you're.
A
great
example
for
all
of
us
for
all
the
employees
of
the
city
of
Oklahoma
City
and
this
city
would
not
be
as
successful
and
it's
nice
of
a
place
to
live
without
you.
Thank
you.
M
Well,
mr.
couch
you
were
retiring
as
I
was
coming
in,
but
I
appreciate
your
guidance
and
your
excitement
just
to.
Let
me
know
more
about
the
city,
more
of
your
involvement
in
the
city
and
I
just
what
to
expect
when
representing
Ward
7
in
the
city
of
Oklahoma
City,
so
I
appreciate
you
for
that,
and
also
I
want
to
commend
your
lovely
wife
for
sharing
you
with
us,
the
city
of
Oklahoma
City
for
so
many
years,
and
thank
you
and
enjoy
retirement.
M
N
Know
this
weekend,
I
was
working
on
the
agenda
and
I
just
stopped
for
a
moment
and
and
just
thought
about
Jim
couch
for
a
minute
and
I
wrote
down
on
a
card.
Three
things,
I
think
I
think
this
city
has
been
great,
because
Jim
has
followed
three
basic
principles
in
my
mind
and
I've
learned
from
those
principles
the
city's
been
successful
because
you
are
a
great
man
of
honesty
and
you
have
always
spoken
the
truth.
You
have
always
been
straightforward.
N
You
have
always
been
a
person
that
if
you
said
something
you
could
take
it
to
the
bank,
it
was
the
truth.
The
second
thing
I
think
that
you
have
this
great
quality
to
be
transparent
and
what
I
mean
by
that
is
that
we
don't
have
to
guess
about
what
you
were.
We
never
had
to
guess
about
what
you
were
doing.
If
there
was
an
issue
you
outline
outlined,
what
would
need
to
be
done
with
the
issue?
You
dealt
with
the
issue
and
you
helped
us
to
understand
what
it
was.
So
we
could
communicate
it.
N
So
you
are
always
transparent,
maybe
sometimes
a
little
bit
to
a
fault,
because
once
in
a
while,
a
couple
of
people
may
have
disagreed
with
you,
but
that
was
very,
very
rare.
The
third,
the
third
factor
that
that
you
have
instilled
in
all
of
us
and
helped
make
this
city
so
successful.
In
my
mind
and
I
think
this
is
very
very
important
is
that
you
were
always
prepared
whenever
you
walked
into
the
room.
N
In
my
opinion,
you
were
the
most
prepared
person
in
the
room
and
the
city
manager
deals
with
so
many
complicated
issues,
and
so
many
different
issues
and
things
that
can
change.
Just
in
an
instance.
I
know
one
night
I
was
with
with
Jim
and
it's
a
phone
call
and
it's
not
a
good
phone
call,
but
he
deals
with
it
because
he
was
prepared
and
then
like
Edie
mentioned
of
the
water
or
our
kids
and
our
grandkids
to
have
adequate
water
through
20
60.
N
As
long
as
we
follow
those
principles,
this
city
is
going
to
get
better
and
better
and
better
and
so
I
want
to
say,
God
bless
you
and
your
family
I
want
to
say.
Thank
you
for
what
you
taught
me.
Oh
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
you
and
Kathy,
we're
always
being
so
kind
to
Debbie
and
I.
We
really
appreciated
that,
and
last
but
not
least,
God
speed
with
your
next
endeavor
I
can't
wait
to
see
your
next
success
story.
Thank
you
and.
A
Councilwoman
Salyer
had
a
long
scheduled
trip,
but
I
know
you
know
how
much
she
appreciates
you
Craig
mentioned
that
everybody
up
here
has
been
your
boss,
and
that
may
be
true
in
my
case
as
well
today,
but,
unlike
everybody
else,
I
was
also
once
your
employee
and
and
though
I
made
longer
remarks
at
your
city
reception
that
we
had
in
December.
I
I
want
to
reiterate
how
much
you've
been
a
mentor
to
me
and
I.
A
That's
one
of
your
greatest
legacies
is
the
mentorship
and
example
that
you've,
provided
you
know
you,
you
get
the
credit
for
managing
outcomes
and
water
and
NBA
teams
and
all
those
things
but
you're
also
primarily
responsible,
and
we
really
depend
on
you
to
be
responsible
for
4,700
employees
and
managing
them
and
inspiring
them
and
getting
them.
You
know
getting
the
best
possible
performance
out
of
them
and
I
think
you
just
always
did
as
I
said
in
December.
A
D
Therefore
be
resolved
by
the
mayor
and
council,
the
city
of
Oklahoma
City
that
they
do
hereby
express
their
deepest
appreciation
to
James
D
couch
for
his
dedication,
integrity,
professionalism
and
vision
during
his
31
years
of
public
service
to
the
city
of
Oklahoma
City
and
wish
him
the
best,
as
he
begins
to
write
a
new
chapter
in
his
life
in
the
city
that
he
loves
and
be
it
FURTHER.
Resolved
by
the
mayor
and
counseled
the
city
of
Oklahoma
City
that
it
is
their
view
that
James
D
couch
is
the
finest
city
manager
in
the
city's.
D
History
has
served
for
a
record
amount
of
time
and
during
a
most
historic
and
successful
era,
has
served
as
a
true
public
servant
and
a
mentor
to
countless
other
public
servants.
And
it
is
most
appropriate
that
a
lasting
commemoration
be
made.
And
so
it
is
hereby
resolved
that
from
henceforth
the
office
building
at
420,
West,
Main
known
as
the
James
D
couch
municipal
office
building
and
that
appropriate
signage
be
created
to
detonate,
to
denote
it
as
such
and
be
it
FURTHER.
A
Doing
his
duty
to
the
last,
he
just
reminded
we,
we
do
need
to
vote
on
that.
So
why
do
we
do
that
before
we?
Let
him
speak,
and
let
me
add
one
thing
about
the
naming
of
the
building.
You
know
my
very
first
day,
I
told
him
I
wanted
to
go
shake
hands
of
every
city,
employee
we
could
find,
and-
and
so
he
walked
with
me
through
that
building
for
two
hours
and
you
know
kept
pointing
out.
You
know
this
was
his
office
at
one
time.
This
was
his
office
between
that
seed.
A
That
was
planted
that
day
thinking
about
how
much
of
his
career
he
didn't
spend
in
the
corner
office
here
at
City
Hall,
but
over
a
420,
West,
Main
and
thinking
about
again
what
a
mentor
he's
been
to
city
employees.
As
this
all
happened.
It
just
became
obvious
to
me
that
that
was
what
we
should
do
and
it's
a
most
fitting
place
for
you
to
be
remembered
with
that.
I
would
love
a
motion
in
a
second
got,
a
motion
in
a
second
cast.
A
Your
votes
passes
unanimously
and
also
give
you
this,
while
I
still
have
the
mic
in
the
name
of
fiscal
responsibility,
we
could
have
put
this
over
on
the
building,
but
I
think
we'll
buy
a
different
sign
and
we'll.
Let
you
well
we'll
let
you
have
this
one,
but
this
it's
a
little
worse
for
wear
I.
Suppose
it's
been
up
there
for
18
years
and
probably
had
some
trusts
as
well,
but
I
think
it's.
It
is
a
nice
little
souvenir.
So
please
take
this
and
we
would
love
if
you
would
close
this
out
with
some
thoughts.
O
Well,
thank
you
so
much.
That's
an
amazing
honor
I'm
really
lost
right,
yeah
y'all
know
I'm
still
alive
right,
you
know,
Monday
I
was
talking
to
Craig
Freeman
and
Craig
was
telling
me
that
in
his
office,
there's
a
there's
a
sofa
and
he
is
now
designated
that
is
the
Jim
couch
couch
I
thought
wow.
That
was
a
that
was
a
pretty
nice
honor
right
there,
but,
but
apparently
this
is.
O
I'm
gonna
repeat
three
comments
I
made
earlier
and
one
is.
It
goes
on
to
it.
Council
Greiner
said
a
few
minutes
ago,
but
in
a
recent
City
survey
we
had
the
the
right
track
wrong
track
numbers
for
the
city
over
72%.
That's
pretty
strong!
That
citizen
confidence
we
have
is
something
we
should
never
take
for.
Granted
it
takes
decades
to
build,
it
can
be
lost
in
a
day.
It's
what
lets
us
pass:
math
for
kids,
Maps,
three,
the
sales
tax
extension,
the
Geo
bond
programs.
O
We
do-
and
it's
really
really
important
and
if
you
look
around
at
government
right
now,
72%
of
our
right
track
wrong
track.
Numbers
is
pretty
amazing.
State
legislators
somewhere
in
that
20s
Congress,
is
somewhere
in
the
teens
right
now
and
we're
at
72%.
So
why
is
that
and
I
think
it
starts
with
the
council
and
I
think
it
starts
with
disability
that
James
was
talking
about
a
few
minutes
ago
and
how
you
get
along,
and
yet
your
nonpartisan
that
helps
a
bunch,
because
you
don't
have
teams
coming
in
on
the
side
of
an
issue.
O
There
aren't
headlines
coming
out
of
council
meetings
and
in
video
clips
of
so-and-so,
seeing
this
it's
someone
saying
that
it
just
doesn't
happen
you
each
treat
each
other
with
respect
and
it
sets
the
tone
for
the
organization
and
it
sets
the
tone
for
the
community
so
I.
Thank
you
for
that
and
don't
take
those
citizen
confidence
numbers
lightly.
Those
are
very
very
important.
Number
two
is:
is
criminal
justice.
We
have
an
opportunity
over
the
last
few
years.
We've
done
some
great
things
with
Shaun's
here
this
morning
and
and
the
gayleen
from
courts.
O
What
chief
city
has
done
on
criminal
justice
is
really
amazing:
we're
down
a
thousand
people
in
the
county
jail
that
isn't
by
accident.
That's
very
intentional
that
we've
done
that
and
it's
a
lot
there's
a
lot
more
work
to
do
and
we
have
issues
with
mental
health.
We
have
issues
with
substance
abuse
and
it's
going
to
be
hard
and
there's
gonna
be
people
that
are
tough
on
crime,
and
this
isn't
about
letting
people
not
have
responsibilities
for
the
crime.
O
It's
how
you
deal
with
it
and
we
need
to
do
it
in
a
more
compassionate
way
than
we've
done
in
the
past.
We've
got
some
opportunities
in
the
future.
That's
a
big
thing
that
we
need
to
weigh
on
over
the
next
several
years
and
then
number
three
I
would
ask
you
to
give
Craig
the
same
support
last
18
years.
It's
really
important
to
know
that
the
council
is
there
with
you
as
you're,
making
decisions
on
day
to
day
basis
and
I've
had
that
support.
O
A
Thank
you,
Jim
Thank,
You,
Cathy
you're
still
on
the
job,
but
you
don't
have
to
stay
for
the
rest
of
the
meeting.
If
you
don't
want
to
I,
want
you
to
enjoy
Jim
couch
day,
so
III
recognize
as
I
go
back
to
by
seed
I
recognize
some
people
may
shuffle
back
to
the
conference
room
or
whatever
it
is.
You
do
but
again.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
for
your
18
years
of
service
and
your
three
decades
of
service
to
the
people
of
Oklahoma
City.
We
appreciate
you
Jim.
A
All
right
that
concludes
item
three
on
the
agenda.
We
are
now
at
the
item.
Four
Journal
of
council
proceedings.
We
have
items
a
and
B
taken
with
one
motion.
I've
got
a
motion
in
a
second
any
discussion.
Seeing
none
cast
your
vote
passes
unanimously.
That
brings
us
to
item
five
requests
for
uncontested
continuances,
where.
K
A
A
It
brings
us
to
page
4
on
the
printed
agenda,
we'll
adjourn,
OC
mfa
and
convene
as
the
Oklahoma
City
public
property
Authority,
where
we
have
three
items.
I've
got
a
motion
in
a
second
any
discussion.
Seeing
none
cast
your
votes
passes
unanimously,
well
adjourn,
OCP,
PA
and
convene
as
the
Oklahoma
City
environmental
assistance
trust
where
we
just
have
claims
in
payroll,
we'll
go
ahead
and
take
a
motion
on
that.
Anyways
got
a
motion
in
a
second
any
discussion,
see
none
cast.
Your
votes
passes
unanimously,
we'll
adjourn
the
Oklahoma
City
environmental
assistance.
A
A
K
P
Boy,
you
guys
are
fast
this
morning,
Doug,
copper,
director
of
Parks
and
Recreation
for
the
record.
The
Boomer
Sports
Complex
on
240
has
been
in
existence
for
quite
a
few
years.
I
know
some
of
you
on
the
bench
have
probably
actually
played
softball
down
there
over
the
years
in
working
with
some
of
our
partner
groups,
the
CVB,
the
softball
Hall
of
Fame
or
the
US
softball
folks
out
on
Lincoln
Park.
We
wanted
to
make
sure
that
those
eight
softball
fields
stayed
in
the
inventory
for
consideration.
P
One
of
the
things
that
the
folks
out
at
the
softball
Hall
of
Fame,
as
well
as
the
CVB
has
spoken
not
only
to
me
but
to
you
all,
is
the
need
for
additional
sports
complexes
operated
by
the
city
of
Oklahoma
City.
So
when
it
came
up
for
sale
a
couple
years
ago,
we
weren't
in
a
position
to
be
able
to
even
talk
about
acquiring
it.
The
current
owner
is
operated
for
about
three
years.
P
They
decided
that
return
on
their
investment
wasn't
as
high
or
they
didn't
want
to
mess
with
it
anymore,
but
but
we
saw
it
as
a
golden
opportunity
for
us
to
be
able
to
keep
those
eight
softball
fields
within
the
inventory.
That's
available
not
only
to
us
to
program
through
our
Recreation
Department
in
our
athletics
group,
which
has
been
expanding
our
participation
in
sports
that
we
are
offering,
but
it
also
gives
us
an
opportunity
for
the
softball
Hall
of
Fame
not
to
send
teams
over
to
Tulsa
or
places
elsewhere
when
they
get
overbooked
for
their
complexes.
P
P
So
this
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
to
capitalize
on
an
opportunity
that
is
available
to
us
through
those
that
funding
mechanism
so
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
other
questions
you
might
have,
but
we
think
that
we
will
be
having
a
return
on
that
investment
within
three
years
will
maximize
the
investment
in
five
years
through
programming
and
regional
tournaments
and
things
along
those
lines
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
So.
I
A
A
Are
you
taken
with
one
motion
got
a
motion
in
a
second
any
discussion.
Seeing
none
cast
your
votes
passes
unanimously.
That
brings
us
to
item
9
items
requiring
separate
votes.
We
have
some
zoning
cases
here.
We've
got
item
9a
one.
These
are
all
that
I'm
about
to
roll
through
ordinances.
On
final
hearing
that
were
recommended
for
approval
at
the
Planning
Commission
item,
9a
one
is
at
23
13
Northwest
10th
Street,
moving
from
R
to
201
it's
in
Ward,
six
I,
don't
know.
If
councilwoman
Salyer
spoke
to
anyone,
I
guess
I'll
kind
of
quarterback.
A
N
A
N
A
I
A
A
F
F
For
client
yeah
god
I've
got
it.
We've
done
a
couple
of
these
now
and
it's
really
just
for
garage
apartment.
That's
all
we're
doing
we're,
building
a
new
garage
with
an
apartment
above
it
and
the
whole
sped
process.
I'm,
not
sure
if
we
there's
a
better
way
to
do
that:
okay,
so
but
I.
Unless
anyone
has
any
specific
questions,
I
don't
know
that
we
need
to
comment.
I've
moved
the.
L
A
Got
a
motion
in
a
second
any
discussion.
Seeing
none
cast
your
votes.
That's
was
unanimously.
Thank
you.
Alright
9b
one
and
two
these
items
are
related.
The
first
is
an
amendment
to
the
master
design
statement
and
9b2
is
an
ordinance
on
final
hearing.
I
thought
Dee
was
what
hit
mine.
D
was
withdrawn.
Yeah,
he
is
in
David.
Okay,
nine
b2
is
an
ordinance
on
final
hearing.
This
is
7600
North
Kelly
Avenue,
going
from
R
1
to
s
PUD
1091,
Councilwoman,
nice.
Yes,.
M
A
A
A
A
K
A
The
item
got
a
motion
in
a
second
any
discussion.
Seeing
none
cast
your
votes
passes
unanimously
9f.
This
is
the
third
of
three
meetings.
Considering
this
issue.
We
had
a
presentation
at
the
first
meeting.
This
is
relating
to
annual
fee
assessed
and
investor
owned
utility
or
Rural
Electric
Cooperative's.
We
also
had
a
public
hearing
at
our
last
meeting.
This
would
be
the
final
hearing,
and
so
therefore
we
could
I
could
entertain
a
motion
to
for
a
passage
got
a
motion
in
a
second.
Is
there
any
discussion
seeing
non
cash?
A
Two
votes
passes
unanimously:
9
g
1.
This
is
the
public
hearing
for
9
g
2.
9G
2
is
a
joint
resolution
approving
the
allocation
of
geo,
limited
tax
bond
proceeds
in
an
amount
of
$600,000
to
provide
for
certain
economic
development
incentives
for
the
expansion
of
affordable
housing
opportunities.
This
was
we
had
a
presentation
on
this
from
Ian
Colgan
of
the
Oklahoma
City
Housing
Authority
at
a
previous
meeting.
This
is
the
g1
is
a
public
hearing,
so
I
would
ask
if
anyone
here
wishes
to
speak
on
this
item.
A
We've
got
a
motion
in
a
second
any
discussion.
Seeing
none
cast
your
votes
passes
unanimously,
we're
now
in
the
last
page
page
18
of
your
printed
agenda,
9,
H
and
I.
These
are
related
items.
9
H
is
a
resolution
approving
the
incurrence
of
indebtedness
by
aqua
9.
I
is
likewise
and
other
resolution
approving
the
indebted
indebtedness
by
aqua
and
I
believe
we
have
a
presentation.
Yes,
so
Chris.
K
Q
Good
morning
and
happy
new
year
happy
new
year,
oh
the
Water,
Utilities
trust
uses
a
mix
of
finance
and
financing
options
to
fund
the
capital
program.
We
use
long
term
debt,
commercial
paper,
cash
about
40
percent
cash
and
then
we
use
state
revolving
funds
from
the
Oklahoma
Water
Resources
Board
interest
rate
on
the
srf
loans
are
generally
about
the
same
as
they
are
for
our
triple-a
rated
funding.
Q
So
the
the
interest
is
very,
very
low
right
now.
There
are
two
types
of
srf
loans,
one
for
clean
water.
The
clean
water
loans
are
particularly
to
fund
raw
water
projects
or
wastewater
projects,
and
then
the
drinking
water
funding
is
for
treatment
and
and
water
lines,
water,
treatment
and
water
lines.
This
year
we
submitted
two
applications
to
the
water
board
for
funding
through
the
srf
program.
First
is
50
million
dollars
for
clean
water.
Funding.
Second
is
30
million
for
drinking
water
funding.
Q
The
advantage
of
using
an
srf
rather
than
standard
long
term
debt
is
owned
on
a
30-year
municipal
bond.
We
have
to
set
aside
10%
reserve
fund.
The
srf
does
not
require
any
any
reserve
fund
set
aside.
So
if
we
borrowed
80
million
dollars
using
normal
bonds,
normal
long-term
debt,
we
would
either
have
to
only
net
72
or
we'd
have
to
borrow
88
to
get
the
same
80
million
dollars.
So
either
we
have
less
funds
to
pay
for
our
capital
programs
or
we
pay
more
interest
over
that
30-year
period
in
Oklahoma.
Q
The
beneficiary
of
public
trust
must
approve
any
increase
in
indebtedness
of
its
trust.
So,
today,
council,
agenda
items
number
9,
H
and
I
provide
the
city's
resolution
to
fulfill
this
state
law
beneficiary
approval
requirement.
So
we
would
recommend
approval
and
if
you
have
any
questions,
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
them.
L
Second,
that
and
I
would
also
just
make
the
comment
that
the
water
utility
trust
does
an
excellent
job
in
managing
its
debt.
They
really
look
at
the
most
efficient
way
to
borrow
money,
and
it's
not
always
traditional
long
term
debt,
but
they're
very
successful
in
structuring
their
debt
obligations.
So
thank.
A
You
all
right,
we've
got
a
motion
in
a
second
on
9h.
This
is
450
million
dollars
of
indebtedness
by
aqua.
This
requires
six
votes.
Six
affirmative
votes,
I
should
say
any
discussion
seen
on
caster
votes
passes
unanimously
and
with
the
required
number
of
votes
that
leaves
us
with
I
live.
The
item
got
a
motion
in
a
second
for
nine
I.
This
is
for
a
thirty
million
dollars
of
indebtedness
by
aqua
also
requires
six
votes.
Any
discussion
seeing
none
cast
your
votes
passes
unanimously
and
with
the
required
number
of
votes.
Thank
thank
you.
Alright.
A
N
Briefly,
Your
Honor
I
know
I'm
the
only
person
that
gets
excited
about
lagoon
closings,
but
the
three
live
closings
out
at
Lake
Hefner
at
the
Seabee
Cameron
soccer
fields.
That
is
a
big
deal
and
it's
going
to
improve
and
enhance
our
soccer
fields
out
there
and
that's
just
the
first
step
and
I
want
to
thank
everybody
for
approving
that
today.
M
First
of
all,
I
want
to
say
happy
new
year
and
to
let
the
community
know
Ward
seven.
We
will
be
having
an
upcoming
forum
to
continue
our
discussion
of
with
a
developer's
forum
and
we'll
hear
from
those
who
have
actually
developed
in
or
seven
and
that's
going
to
be
on
January
the
8th
beginning
at
six
o'clock
at
Metro
Tech.
So
we
hope
people
can
come
and
just
hear
the
information-
it's
not
just
for
Ward
7,
but
it
will
be
in
Ward
7,
but
it's
for
the
the
community
in
the
city
of
Oklahoma
City.
I
You
know
we
spent
a
lot
of
time
talking
about
how
proud
of
our
city
employees,
how
proud
of
them
we
are
and
I
just
kind
of
wanted
to
bring
something
forward.
I
was
invited
by
some
city
employees
and
asked
me
to
the
week
before
Christmas
to
go
out
and
help
deliver.
Some
new
bicycles
and
I've
got
to
tell
you
when
I
saw
the
the
joy
on
those
children's
faces,
whether
gratitude
sometimes
on
the
parents
faces.
It
really
meant
a
lot
to
me
and
I.
I
A
A
A
S
S
Dear
mayor
hold
the
councilmembers,
we
appreciate
yours
and
Oklahoma
City's
support
earlier
this
year,
commemorating
the
60-year
anniversary
of
the
Oklahoma
City
sit-in
errs
our
interest
today
is
in
the
naming
of
Martin
Luther
King
jr.
Avenue
in
Oklahoma
City
Martin,
Luther,
King,
jr.
Avenue
is
currently
so
named.
Only
in
northeast
Oklahoma
City
between
Reno
Avenue
and
Wilshire
Boulevard,
the
same
Street
is
still
called
eastern
ave
north
of
Wilshire
Boulevard
and
south
of
Reno
Avenue.
S
Dr.
King
is
known
around
the
world
for
his
promotion
of
non-violent
social
change.
He
received
the
Nobel
Peace
Prize
in
1964
for
his
advocacy
of
non-violence
in
the
American
civil
rights
movement
and
over
the
decades.
Since
then
his
example
of
non-violent
action
for
social
change
has
been
incorporated
by
movements
around
the
world
for
social
change.
Therefore,
we
propose
that
all
of
Eastern
Avenue
in
Oklahoma
City
be
named
Martin
Luther,
King,
jr.
Avenue
from
Edmund.
In
the
north,
down
to
more
in
the
south
sincerely,
both
of
us.
R
As
you
can
see
even
being
before
you
today,
change
happens.
Only
thing
constant
is
change.
We
can't
breathe
the
last
breath
of
air
that
we
just
breathe,
just
as
we
just
got
that
water,
just
as
we
got
the
thunders
from
your
city
man,
just
as
we
got
Bricktown
just
as
we
got
our
new
streetcars.
That
would
make
these
scrapers
get
that
water
off
for
us
to
continue
change
is
needed
and
necessary.
R
We
think
it
would
be
a
good
idea
for
that
change
to
take
place
when
I
reflect
upon
my
short
time
as
n-double-a-cp
president
I
noticed
at
one
time
between
here
and
more
more
didn't
celebrate,
wonder
the
King
Day,
but
after
visit
they
do
that.
Now
we
have
a
relationship
in
Edmund
with
the
new
chief.
Younger
change
is
evitable
its
mandatory
and
necessary
for
us
to
fix
change
the
correct
those
things
that
we
have
an
ability
and
an
opportunity
to
do.
R
We
come
before
the
City
Council
today,
seeking
your
approval
of
an
expansion
that
is
needed
and
necessary
tad
these
cities
together
versus
hair
those
little
hiccups
on
the
end,
it's
a
progressive
move
as
a
change
needed
necessary
and
required
a
next,
and
only
only
ones
can
do
that.
As
you
all
we're
seeking
your
support,
we're
seeking
your
approval.
Hopefully
we
can
count
on
you
as
Oklahoma,
continued
to
progress
and
move
forward
to
fix
change
to
correct
those
things
that
we
have
the
power
to
fix,
changing
correct.
R
R
This
point,
I
really
don't
know
for
some
reason,
I
say
we'll,
give
you
a
little
something,
but
we're
gonna
pick
up
on
the
end
I'm
more
concerned
also
with
that
same
expansion
that
we're
in
anticipating
and
expecting
from
Easton
going
back
towards
63rd.
Well,
we
can
go
from
eastern,
should
be
Martin,
Luther,
King,
the
El
Reno
and
yuca
on
the
development
that
we
see
that
is
taking
place
with
the
blessings
of
the
city.
We
wait
on
it.
They
take
place
going
from
Eastern,
hopefully
the
new
Martin
Luther
King,
going
back
to
our
Edmund.
R
We
understand
that
the
city
owns
property
all
through
in
there
and
at
least
some
of
it.
We
look
for
that
expansion
on
the
east
side
as
we
continue
to
grow,
you
have
that
ability
we're
seeking
it.
It's
only
a
matter
of
time
before
it
happens,
let's
not
be
aggressive
in
making
those
moves
at
this
point
and
allow
this
to
be
the
first
step
and
making
those
things
happen.
A
Specifically
I
know,
you
know,
there's
sometimes
resistance.
You
know
to
Main
Street
name
changes
for
reasons
that
have
nothing
to
do
with
the
honoree.
It's
just
change
on
my
stationery
or
you
know,
I've
gotten
used
to
this
name
and
all
that.
So
that
would
be
my
speculation.
Is
that
just
people
said
they
didn't
want.
A
R
S
We
are
aware
that
this
will
be
technically
challenging.
There
are
a
lot
of
homes
and
businesses
and
properties
on
Eastern
Avenue
that
need
to
be
probably
consulted.
It's
not
going
to
be
done
in
a
month
or
six
weeks,
but
the
first
step
is
this
proposal
to
you,
and
perhaps
a
proposal
from
you
all
that
this
is
a
good
idea
to
move
forward
on.
A
A
T
Name
is
Eric
Sanderson
from
one-one
605
South,
West,
Third,
Street,
Yukon
Oklahoma,
but
it's
Oklahoma,
City,
Limits,
seven,
three,
oh
nine,
nine
good
morning,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
thank
you
I'm,
sorry
for
my
informal
appearance
and
the
informal
procedure
in
which
I'll
probably
introduce
something
to
say,
but
I
was
only
made
aware
of
this
about
two
days
ago.
So
I
beg
your
leniency
on
this.
T
What
I'm
here
to
do
today
is
to
propose
an
amendment
to
a
current
ordinance
and
proposal
for
an
adoption
of
a
new
ordinance
and
both
of
them
concerned
the
oil
and
gas
industry.
As
far
as
their
new
exploration
and
production
of
new
wells
within
Oklahoma
City
Limits.
Excuse
me.
The
current
restrictions
on
oil
and
gas
wells
require
that
they
be
a
minimum
of
six
hundred
feet
away
from
any
permanent
structure,
homes
or
animals
watershed
or
public
municipality.
T
These
ordinance,
we
were
written
over
20
years
ago
when
the
oil
and
gas
production
industry
was
operated
much
differently.
Now,
with
the
advent
of
larger
rigs
and
hydraulic
fracking,
the
footprint
and
space
requirements
are
much
larger
these
days
and
what
they
did
when
this
was
enacted.
So
what
I'd?
Like
to
do
is
propose
the
amendment
of
the
existing
requirement
of
600
feet
be
increased
to
1500
feet
and
the
current
distance
to
be
notified
for
surface
landowners
is
1,000
feet.
T
We'd
like
that
extended
to
2,000
feet,
there's
been
about
500
people
signed
a
petition
in
Ward
3,
and
my
apologies
to
mr.
McAtee,
like
I,
said
we've
only
known
about
this
for
two
days.
So
I
don't
want
to
come
here
and
blindside
you
anything,
but
this
does
affect
everyone
in
Oklahoma
City.
The
other
amendment
that
we
are
proposing
is
an
amendment
to
ban
the
permanent
disposal
or
deposit
of
waste
or
byproducts
in
the
city
of
Oklahoma
City.
T
Currently
they
can
dump
any
of
their
oil
and
gas
waste
in
the
city
of
Oklahoma
City
Limits
we'd
like
to
prevent
that
it's
what
we're
not
against
the
oil
and
gas
industry
I,
don't
want
to
be
seen
as
that.
It's
extremely
important
to
the
economy
of
not
only
Oklahoma
City
but
Oklahoma
in
general,
and
we're
not
asking
to
ban
anything
they're
doing
or
restrict
them
we're
just
holding
them
to
a
little
higher
standard
to
reflect
more
modern
production.
T
How
it
goes
in
50,
the
top
largest
cities
in
America
20
of
them
have
enacted
additional
or
identical
legislation,
most
notice
with
Lee
being
Pittsburgh
Pennsylvania
in
Dallas
Texas
within
the
last
six
months,
and
so
I
don't
know
the
exact
procedure.
If
we
request
this
motion
to
be
heard
in
front
of
the
council
put
on
the
addenda.
I
don't
know
the
procedure,
but
I
have
copies
for
the
legislation
for
everyone.
Here,
that's
essentially
in
a
nutshell:
I,
don't
know
if
you
guys
have
any
questions
well,.
G
T
I
understand
they
banned
them
from
preventing
it.
This
doesn't
prevent
this
only
just
makes
the
restrictions
higher,
like
I,
said
that
Texas
did
the
same
thing,
but
Dallas
was
about
five
months
ago,
the
same
being
they,
the
city,
is
allowed
to
enact
its
own
ordinance
as
far
as
noise
control
setback
pollution,
and
these
do
not
violate
any
of
that
does.
G
J
The
provision
in
the
state
statute
entitled
52
extremely
limits.
What
municipalities
can
do
in
Oklahoma
mm-hmm?
We
could
explore
his
desires,
but
it
comes
down
to
whether
or
not
that
was
a
reasonable
and
I.
Pretty
well
assure
you
that
oil
and
gas
industry
is
going
to
challenge
us
if
we
make
any
changes
like.
T
T
T
I
said
these
ordinance
were
drafted
well
over
20
years
ago.
That's
far
back
as
I
could
go,
and
the
oil
and
gas
production
was
much
different
20
years
ago
then,
and
has
become
now
and
600
feet.
It's
nothing
like
I,
don't
know
if
you
remember,
and
it's
a
completely
different
issue,
but
when
the
company
proposed
to
set
up
a
fracking
rig
next
to
Lake
Hefner,
citizens
are
overwhelmingly
opposed
to
write
this
and
1500
feet.
T
There
are
places
you're,
not
restricting
them,
and
that's
where
I
think
title
52
is
saying
that
municipalities
can't
make
laws
restricting
it
or
banning
it.
This
is
just
putting
more
requirements
on
it:
more
stringent
requirements
which
I
believe
the
city
of
Oklahoma
City
and
any
other
municipalities
well
within
their
rights.
To
do
that,
I.
F
T
Mini
federal
government
and
yeah,
it's
it's
something
that
we
would
certainly
like
this
council
to
consider.
Ain't
no
I
mean
I
know
it's
not
an
easy
issue
to
deal
with,
but
it's
like
I
said
there
is
a
precedence.
I,
don't
believe
it's
unnecessary.
It
has
been
enacted
by
several
other
municipalities
within
the
few
years.
J
J
T
Okay
sure,
because
that's
another
concern
of
mine
personally
in
all
that
they
could
use
empty
wells
in
Oklahoma
state
limits
as
wastewater
disposal
wells
they
can
use
the
radioactive
rock
from
their
catch.
Pits
is
gravel
and
deposit
that
on
the
surface,
without
contamination
or
without
controls
for
contamination
and
that
work,
this
doesn't
ban
any
of
the
transportation
of
materials
through
the
city
or
anything
that
would
it's
like
I
said:
I'm,
not
anti
oil
and
gas
I'm
really
not
well.
T
U
Since
2010,
there
have
been
seven
new
subdivisions
with
between
a
hundred
and
two
hundred
homes
each
and
the
two
hundred
unit
apartment
complex
built
in
the
affected
area.
One
of
the
newest
subdivisions,
Mustang
Ranch,
is
currently
added.
Two
hundred
and
fifty-six
homes
on
an
80
acre
plot
at
44th
in
check,
Hall
Road,
the
roads
and
infrastructure
are
also
under
way
for
new
additions
on
Cemetery
Road
and
ledge
stone
on
South
West
59th
between
Mustang
and
check.
Paul
Road
has
just
cleared
another
section
for
more
houses.
U
There
are
also
commercial
businesses
increasing
along
Cemetery,
Road
and
Mustang
Road.
There's
only
one
Oklahoma
City
fire
station
to
respond
in
the
event
of
an
accident
explosion,
leak
or
earthquake
in
the
event
of
an
accident
or
other
critical
event
at
the
well
site
or
along
the
horizontal
lines.
Emergency
response
would
likely
be
pushed
to
Mustang
indoor
UConn,
which
both
only
have
one
fire
department.
The
boundary
line
between
Oklahoma,
City
and
less
thing
is
south.
Miss
59,
it's
gonna,
be
extended
into
Mustang.
U
That
would
make
emergency
response
even
more
limited,
is
their
priority
but
be
responded
with
them's
their
city
limits
before
assisting
Oklahoma
City.
Several
homes
in
this
area
are
serviced
with
well.
Water
fracking
in
wastewater
wells
have
been
conclusively
linked
to
well
water
and
environmental
contamination.
In
addition
to
the
wells,
there
are
several
creeks
and
farm
and
duck
ponds.
The
air,
noise,
water
and
other
environmental
pollution
caused
by
horizontal
drilling
has
been
proven
as
hazardous
within
a
mile
and
a
quarter
of
drill
sites.
U
Traffic
in
this
area
is
increasing
each
year
with
the
construction
of
new
homes
and
schools.
The
two-lane
roads
in
this
area
are
narrow,
with
no
shoulders
very
tight
turn
radiuses
Aaron
generally
poor
condition.
There
are
no
road
improvement
project
scheduled
until
2025
and
that's
a
simple
resurfacing
project
of
check,
haul
road
between
Southwest
44th
and
Southwest
29th,
adding
large
oilfield
equipment
and
trucks
to
school
buses.
U
Regular
traffic
and
emergency
vehicles
is
a
huge
safety
concern
at
the
beginning
of
December,
we
started
a
paper
petition
protesting
drilling
at
this
location
and
just
before
Christmas
we
started
an
online
petition.
Together,
we've
gathered
more
than
500
signatures.
So
far,
we
also
posted
our
concerns
with
this
drilling
location
on
the
next
door.
Comm
website,
which
serves
residents
in
the
area
and
I've
attached
copies
of
the
comments
for
both
of
these
websites
that
show
the
level
of
concern
from
the
citizens
in
this
area.
U
So
I
just
ask
that
you
give
this
consideration
and
Oklahoma
City
in
Canadian.
County,
we're
growing
just
as
quickly
as
Oklahoma
City
is
growing,
is
on
the
north
side,
if
not
faster,
and
we
you
know
there
to
know
that
there
is
a
planned
fire
station
going
in
on
Richland
Road
I
believe
at
forty
fourth,
but
it's
not
there
yet
so
school's.
U
U
V
Good
morning
my
name
is
Terry
Bartlett
and
I'll.
Just
read
what
I've
got
here
so
I
lived,
4101
south
check,
haul
road
and
I've
lived
there
for
40
years
and
when
I
moved
out
there,
all
these
roads
were
dirt
roads.
Then,
several
months
ago,
I
was
here
to
protest,
a
variance
to
allow
two
residences
per
five
acre
tract.
One
of
the
main
points,
then,
was,
and
still
is,
our
water.
You
protected
us
then
protect
us
again.
This
new.
V
This
new
proposal
that
we
have
brought
up
would
help
protect
our
water
and
earthquake
protection,
street
safety
and
construction
of
our
roads.
This
fracking
process
was
developed
for
the
open
plains
of
the
Dakotas,
not
municipal
Oklahoma
City,
if
allowed
to
frack
in
the
area
known
as
no-man's
land
west
of
Council,
between
Reno
and
fifty-ninth,
our
water
table
could
be
destroyed
and
once
it's
gone,
you'll
never
be
good,
never
be
bought
back.
Youth
Oklahoma,
City
Council
has
the
last
permitting
authority
over
these
rigs.
V
But
what
happens
if
this
catastrophe
hits
and
it
will
eventually
somewhere
under
this
wok
aquifer
just
and
there,
with
the
earthquakes
that
and
I?
Don't
have
the
numbers
yet,
but
I'm
going
to
get
them
from
the
Geological
Survey.
As
soon
as
this
starts
fracturing,
the
ground
is
Oklahoma
City
going
to
be
responsible
for
bringing
us
clean
water,
I,
don't
think
so.
V
Also
aligned
this
sort
of
with
what
happened
in
Flint
Michigan
the
problem
with
their
lead
pipes.
They
ended
they
couldn't
they
had
to
take
them
all
completely
out.
The
same
will
happen
here
with
our
water
supply,
there's
no
replace
in
this
water
and
they
had
to
file
a
class-action
lawsuit,
and
then
the
taxpayers
ended
up
paying
to
have
all
of
the
lines
taken
out
and
put
back
most
thing,
and
you
can't
have
similar
ordinances
to
keep
fracking
out
of
their
city
limits,
which,
which
explains
why
no-man's
land
is
the
target.
V
Now,
please,
protect
us,
as
our
neighbors
within
two
miles
of
us
are
from
the
city,
keep
from
their
City
Council's
these
horizontal
wells
and
fracturing
caused
a
lot
of
damage
to
ohm's
water
roads
and
put
many
children
and
seniors
in
danger.
Please
try
to
consider
this
proposal
and
and
the
changes
that
go
with
it.
We
desperately
need
it
