From YouTube: Council Meeting - March 31, 2020
Description
The regular meeting of the Oklahoma City City Council for
Tuesday, March 31, 2020.
A
Well,
it's
8:30
and
we
have
a
quorum,
so
I
guess
I'll
get
started
a
few
preliminary
words
before
I
call
the
meeting
to
order.
Thank
you
to
everyone
join
us
for
the
city.
What
we
have
to
believe
is
the
city's
first
teleconference
City
Council,
meeting
being
conducted
under
state
statute
authorizing
us
in
this
extraordinary
time.
To
do
so,
we
have
a
few
announcements
to
make
regarding
this
teleconference,
meaning
if
the
teleconference
is
disconnected
at
any
time
during
the
meeting,
the
meeting
shall
be
stopped
and
reconvened
once
the
audio
connection
is
restored.
A
If
communications
are
unable
to
be
restored
within
30
minutes,
items
remaining
for
consideration
will
be
continued
to
March
31st
later
today,
at
1
o'clock
via
teleconference.
We
have
no
reason
to
think
that
that
will
happen,
but
we
just
wanted
to
plan
ahead
for
that
potential
scenario.
The
agenda
and
document
are
located
on
OKC
gov
and,
as
an
aside,
I'll
stay
to
find
the
page
I,
often
just
google
OKC
gov
agendas
or
meetings,
and
you
can
find
it
that
way
for
sure
and
you
can
follow
along
with
what
we're
doing
today.
A
Anyone
wishing
to
speak
about
an
agenda
item
public
hearing
or
to
speak
under
sizzles
to
be
heard,
we're
gonna,
give
you
a
couple
options
here
and
you
might
want
to
grab
a
pencil
if
you,
if
you
think
that
this
is
something
you're
going
to
want
to
do.
The
phone
number
to
call
is
four
zero.
Five,
two
nine
seven,
two,
three
nine
one.
So
that's
four:
zero.
Five,
two,
nine
seven,
two,
three,
nine
one
that's
to
go
ahead
and
sign
up
in
advance
to
speak.
A
You
could
also
text
that
number
for
texting
that
you
would
like
to
speak
on
a
particular
item
or
under
citizens
to
be
heard.
It's
four
zero,
five,
two
one,
nine
seven,
nine
two
seven
so
that
texting
number
is
four
zero.
Five,
two
one,
nine
seven,
nine
two
seven
I
mean
otherwise.
Please
provide
your
name
a
number.
The
item
number
and
the
reason
you
wish
to
comment.
A
If
you
call
in
after
your
item
has
been
heard,
you
can
still
potentially
speak
under
citizens
to
be
heard
because
that's
near
the
end
of
the
meeting
speakers
will
be
allowed
three
minutes
to
comment.
I.
Ask
that
all
participants
accept
the
council.
Members
keep
their
phones
on
mute
until
they
are
recognized
to
speak.
Council,
of
course,
is
are
invited
to
jump
in
ask
questions
or
comment
at
any
time
during
the
meaning.
A
A
B
C
E
A
All
right,
thank
you.
Freeing
up
that
voice,
you'll
hear
probably
quite
a
bit
during
this
meeting
and
Frances
Kirsty
the
city
clerk.
We
will
have
to
do
all
votes
by
roll
call,
so,
as
we
that'll
probably
be
the
most
tedious
part
of
this
meeting
is
all
the
voting.
But
that's
who
will
be
handling
that
we'll
start
with
item
2
office
of
the
mayor.
A
We
have
items
a
through
H
here
item
a
is
noticing
that
councilman
Todd
stone
will
become
right
there
on
April,

and
items
be
through
HR
appointments
do
Casa,
HP,
City,
County
Health,
that's
timely,
City,
Oklahoma,
City,
Park,
Commission,
Riverfront,
Redevelopment,
Authority,
riverfront
design
committee
and
the
traffic
Commission
and
I
would
also
point
out
that
items.
C
was
corrected
in
a
timely
manner
and
it
should
have
said
John
Milner,
not
John
miler.
We
can
take
on
as
a
survey
mission
almost.
A
A
motion
in
a
second
any
further
discussion
and
and
when
I
say
any
further
discussion,
normally
I
look
around
and
kind
of
look
at
their
faces.
But
now
I'll
have
to
ask
you
to
speak
up
at
that
moment
and
presuming
none.
I
will
move
forward
and
ask
Francis
to
call
the
roll
for
a
vote
on
a
motion
for
items
to
a

Please
you,
may
you
may
think
I'm,
not
speaking
to
you
and
I,
don't

I'm
speaking
to,
but
there
is
definitely
some
chatter
in
the
background
and
please,
if
you
were
listening
to
this
call
and
you're,
not
a
council
member,
please
mute

even
if
you're,
on
a
council
member.
If
there's
people
talking
then
you're
in
your
space,
we
can.
We

hear
it
so
please
I

sbpp
a
convene
at
the
Oklahoma
City
environmental
assistance,
trust
where
by
custom
we
typically
vote
on
claims
and
payroll.
Even
though
that's
debatable
whether
we
need
to.
But
let's
go
ahead
and
do
it,
would
there
be
a
motion
for
adoption
of
the
one
item
under
oath
octa.
L
A
Motion
passes

will
now

Oh
ceat
convene
at

meeting
reconvene
at
the
council
meeting
where
we
find
ourselves
on
the
consent,
docket
item,
sick,
I
believe
I'm,
aware
of
only
one
items
that
may
have
a
few
words
to
say
about,
and
that
is
item
F.
That
will
have
a
very
brief
presentation.
A
B
B
A
A
A
K
N
K
H
K
A
K
O
Chief
of
police
I
want
to
make
sure.
Are
you
talking
about
the
Magnus
leadership?
Training,
yeah?
Okay.
This
is
part
of
a
continuation
of
a
process
that
we've
been
working
on
for
a
couple
of
years
in
improving
leadership
throughout
the
police
department.
One
of
the
initial
steps
was:
we
changed
our
leadership
training
for
new
supervisors.
O
We
just
did
our
first
training
school
with
that
and
made
it
a
two-week
school
with
more
hands-on
type,
learning
and
scenario
based
learning
part
of
that
too
was
last
year
we
did
a
program
through
strata,
leadership,
that
every
supervisor
up
to
myself
the
a
leadership
process
and
leadership
skills
and
and
how
to
determine
our
leadership.
Styles
and
training
was
very
well
received.
So
this
is
a
continuation
in
that
program,
and
this
is
another
leadership
training
that
will
be
putting
everybody
through
on
the
police
department.
O
This
is
a
little
more
in-depth
type
training
and
it
deals
with
crisis
management
which,
under
the
circumstances,
I
think
will
be
very
good
for
our
department
and
the
training
has
been
something
that's
been
very
well
received
in
other
areas
and
we're
pretty
excited
about
this
and
again,
every
from
the
lieutenant.
All
the
way
up
to
myself
will
go
through
this
training
run
this
and
then
we'll
get
together
afterwards
and
determine
implementation
and
how
we
improve
our
leadership
throughout
the
police
department.
Through
this
training.
A
D
L
F
O
K
M
O
M
Yeah
I
appreciate
that
I
think,
just
from
my
perspective
that
I
don't
know.
Two
million
dollars
is
a
lot
for
the
school
district
to
be
providing
providing
security,
whereas
you
know
I
think
that
that
money
being
spent
on
counselors
or
other
things
that
encourage
you
know
safety
of
students
among
one
another
and
them
being
able
to.
K
M
O
These
are
this:
this
is
at
the
request
of
the
school
system.
This
is
something
that
they've
come
to
us
and
want
us
to
provide
it's
not
something
that
we're
forcing
on
them
or
putting
out
there
them
to
do.
This
is
what
the
school
system
has
come
to
us
and
asked
us
to
provide
for
them
to
make
sure
their
students
are
safe,
yeah.
M
F
N
Also
like
that
information-
and
this
is
Councilwoman
ice
as
it
pertained
to
what
schools
the
officers
are
in,
because
I'm
curious,
if,
if
there's
a
difference
with
urban
school
districts
or
the
schools
and
general,
and
what
that
looks
like
when
it
comes
to
those
those
resource
officers,
I
mean
in
my
situation
growing
up
in
public
schools.
That's
we
had
officers
so
I'm
just
curious
to
know,
particularly
if
that's
something
that
the
school
district
asks
for
for
those
particular
schools
or
how
we
relate
and
work
with
those
schools
for
the
certain
schools
that
are.
A
A
A
E
C
E
E
G
A
A
L
K
C
K
A
Motion
carries
unanimously
all
right,
we're
now
at
item
eight
items
requiring
separate
vote
item
8
a
1
with
deferred
to
April
28th
as
I
present
items
on
the
particular
part
of
it.
The
planning
items
I
will
mention
whether
someone
has
already
signed
up
to
speak.
We
have
a
couple
item
8a
to
is
90
507,
West,
Memorial
Road
from
double-a
to
PUD,
174
to
and
Councilman
Stonecipher
Kendall
Dillon
is
the
applicant
representing
the
applicant
and
he
is
on
the
line
and
has
signed
up
to
speak
if
necessary.
He
said
he's
just
here.

Motion
passes
unanimously
8c.
This
is
an
ordinance
on
final
hearing.
This
relates
to
parking
penalties
for
blocking
the
street
car.
We
had
a
presentation
and
then
a
public
hearing
on
this
item
today
would
potentially
be
the
final
hearing
on
it
and
potentials
vote,
but
I
think.
Maybe
we
have
some
council
members
who
would
like
to
defer.
It.
Is
that
correct.
E
M
Councilman
Hammond
council
person,
Cooper
and
I
met
with
Jason,
fair
brush
and
Jesse
brush
two
weeks
ago,
whenever,
whenever
that
was,
and
if
either
of
them
are
available,
I
kind
of
like
them
to
speak
to
our
discussion,
just
sort
of.
In
brief,
they
made
this
really
handy
packet
for
us
about
some
of
the
parts
they
actually
have
assigned
numbers
to
all
of
the
parking
spots
along
the
streetcar
route
and
we're
showing
that
they
actually
been
tracking
blockages.
M
First
hot
this
year
have
been
doing
that
per
month
per
spot
and
even
from
last
year's
data,
there's
a
pretty
obvious
area
of
a
few
hot
pots
that
is
kind
of
the
words
we
ended
up
using
the
phrase,
the
term
we
use
for
it,
where
a
lot
of
them
are
not
really
a
problem.
It's
these
handful
of
spots
that
are
in
areas
where
there's
some
dross
offloading
kind
of
going
on.
There's
areas
around
myriad
that
maybe
people
who
aren't
as
familiar
with
cutting
down
technology.
M
You
know
downtown
is
a
little
different
at
the
moment,
so
I,
don't
know
that
might
need
to
be.
You
know,
extended
out
to
I.
Don't
know
like
July
are
obvious
to
maybe
reconsider,
but
I
know
for
my
concern
and
I'll.
Let
councilperson
Cooper
speak
to
anything
she
had
as
well.
My
concern
was
to
me
it
doesn't
really
make
sense
to
up
a
fine
when
we're
not
even
posting
about
what
the
current
fine
is,
and
that
may
be
posting
about
the
current
signs,
particularly
in
those
hot
spots,
might
be,
might
be
the
next.
F
L
H
Well,
Jason
I
hope
you
can
unmute
the
phone
where
you
are.
The
council
members
had
asked
that
we
look
at
this
and
Jason
has
talked
with
me
about
it
and
said:
they've
identified
some
of
those
hotspot
areas
as
councilman
Hammonds
mentioning
and
looked
at
the
areas
where
we
have
the
biggest
problems
and
felt
like
if
we
put
some
signage
in
those
areas.
Specifically,
you
know
not
to
put
clutter
of
signage
throughout
all
of
downtown,
but
to
try
to
identify
those
areas
where
we
could
possibly
put
some
of
that
in
I've.
H
Looked
at
that
and
made
the
request
that
we
consider
to
our
staff
that
we
look
at
some
signage
there.
That
would
allow
us
to
assess
if
the
current
fine
level
would
have
more
effect,
with
more
notice
to
people
that
they
could
be
fined.
So
they're.
Looking
at
that
and
looking
at
the
areas
of
Jason
are
you
on.
M
M
A
G
Q
K
A
R
R
K
R
Granted
granted
the
blockages
continue
to
be
a
problem
for
us,
but
we
we
just
started
tracking
blockages
by
space
in
January,
whereas
before
we'd
always
track
just
blockages,
you
know
by
block
face
and
then
for
the
entire
system,
and-
and
we
have
with
at
least
two
months
of
data
now
January
and
February.
We
have
identified
like
four
locations
along
the
route
that
are
given
us.
You
know
the
most
problems,
and
so
whether
we
do
you
know
signage
or
more
active,
you
know
controlling
of
the
area.
We
would
start
with
those.
R
Our
recommendation
would
be
to
start
with
those
four
areas
that
are
giving
us
the
most
problems
anyway,
so
I
mean,
as
staff
were
certainly
open
to
to
try
and
you
know,
put
the
put
the
signage
advising
people.
Not
only
will
they
be
towed,
but
they
could
be
fined
and
seen
if
that
you
know
seeing
if
that
helps,
we
have
our
baseline
and
we
think
we've
got
two
months
worth
of
data
now,
but
the
signs
out
there
for
two
months,
I
think
we'd
have
a
pretty
accurate
comparison.
G
R
R
R
R
So
what
I
was
going
to
say
is
for
these
four
locations
that
we've
identified,
for
example,
a
one
location
in
particular
Robinson
southbound
between
Park
and
main
any
weary,
that
area
alone
made
up
14
of
the
90
blockages
and
then
in
February
15
of
the
91
blockages
were
in
that
area
alone.
So
then,
if
we
take
that
top,
you
know
problem
area
and
we
add
the
next
three.
You
know
highest
problem
areas
we're
looking
at
about
30
blockages
coming
from
about
four
areas
along
the
route.
So
you
know
about
a
third
of
our.
G
R
B
Second,
in
May
and
his
only
association
with
downtown
up
until
our
walk
has
been
going
to
Municipal
Court
to
pay
fines.
And
this
isn't
like
some
troubled
kids,
you
know
parking
fines.
Are
you
know,
speeding
or
whatever?
That's
his
only
interaction
and
I
have
today
that's
fairly
common
with
people
and
then
the
second
thing
second
story
is
when
I
was
knocking
doors.
The
further
I
got
from
downtown.
You
know,
remember,
work
to
you
goes
up
to
120.
Second,
the
further
I
got
away
from
downtown's.
B
B
Of
parking
and
they
associate
it
with
too
much
working
the
cost
or
just
you
know
all
that
sort
of
stuff
and
I
just
don't
want
this
streetcar
fine
to
be
yet
another.
You
know
kind
of
bit
of
that
narrative
for
people,
I,
don't
want
people
to
associate
downtown
with
being
an
unknown
me
inaccessible,
place
and
I'd
rather
exhaust
our
effort
before
we.
You
know,
take
that
that
step
and
to
that
point,
Jason
is
July
of
a
reasonable
amount
of
time.
Or
what
time
would
you
give
that
way?
Allow
us
to
really
measure
some
metrics
here.
R
B
Relatedly
Jason
you
using
the
words
normal
makes
me
wonder
if
you
know
we
don't
know
when
everything's
gonna
be
back
up
and
really
truly
you
know
outside
of
social
distancing.
Would
I
mean?
How
can
we
really
measure
it?
You
know
in
April
in
May,
when
we
know
for
sure
the
social
distancing
is
gonna
last
through
the
end
of
April.
I
would
not
at
all
be
surprised
to
see
it
last
through
May
and
June,
but
I
don't
know
July
things
like
the
right,
a
good
guess.
I.
G
R
G
M
No
I'm
totally
fine
with
that
I
think
from
my
you
know
from
the
question
of
whether
we
think
the
signs
will
make
a
difference.
I
think
the
thing
that
came
out
of
that
meeting
for
me
was
I
didn't
even
know
there
was
a
sign
so
potentially
associated.
So
my
concern
is
you
know,
if
that's
the
case
for
most
people,
you
know
why
increasing
it.
You
know
the
fact
that
there's
a
fine
alone
seems
like
that.
We
need
to
educate
people
about
that
before.
We
think
about
increasing
it.
A
H
Yeah
so
I've
understood
the
conversation
I've
been
in
discussion
with
Jason
about
this,
so
I
understand
what
we're
asking
for
here
and
I
would
rather
us
not
have
it
within
the
motion
just
so.
We
have
flexibility
for
the
number
of
signs.
If
we
see
another
area,
that's
a
problem
that
we
will
manage
that
I
understand
the
direction
on
this
their
lines,
in
other
words,
yeah.
A
D
A
A
Yeah
motion
carries
unanimously.
Okay.
The
item
is
deferred.
Now
we're
moving
on
to
item
8
P.
This
is
the
public
hearing
regarding
the
ordinance
that
was
presented
at
our
last
meeting
introduced.
I
should
say
our
last
meeting
and
the
presentation
was
made.
This
relates
to
feeding
animals
in
city
parks
and
other
city
property.
A
A
Hearing
none
we'll
move
on
items,
8e,
f,
G,
H,
I
J
are
all
not
quite
ready,
and
so
we
will
pool
return
to
them.
A
little
later
in
our
agenda,
we
will
now
move
on
to
8k
1
&
2.
A
k1
is
a
public
hearing
regarding
the
refunding
of
certain
outstanding
portions
of
the
city's
general
obligation
bond
series.
A
2010
issued
in
the
original
principle
amount
of
approximately
64
million
dollars
President
to
is
a
resolution
providing
for
the
sale
and
issuance
of
general
obligation
refunding
bonds
in
the
amount
not
to
exceed
35
million
dollars,
etc
and
I.
Believe
Brent
Bryant
will
speak
for
these
items.
Yes,
remember.
S
K
S
To
go
mr.
Brent
Bryant
finance
director
in
2010,
the
city
issued
the
sixty
four
point:
four
million
dollars
worth
of
general
obligation,
bonds
per
our
standard
standard.
We
cut.
We
made
these
bonds
callable
and
beginning
with
the
maturity
starting
on
March
1st
of
2021,
and
what
we're
seeking
your
approval
today
is
authorize
us
to
issue
refunding
bonds
in
the
amount
not
to
exceed
thirty
five
million
dollars
at
a
negotiated
price
to
be
negotiated,
probably
in
the
middle
of
April.
S
Our
policy,
our
debt
management
policy,
says
that
we
have
to
at
least
achieve
a
three
percent
present
value
savings
right
now,
based
on
current
market
conditions,
we
believe
it'll
be
over
four
percent
savings,
which
will
equal
about
a
million
and
a
half
dollars
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
other
questions.
Any.
A
A
E
E

We're
going
to
go
back
to
that,
we
skipped
over
yeah.

okay,
801
is
a
public
hearing
regarding
the
fiscal
year
2020
budget
amendment
that
was
presented
at
our
last

That
was
mostly
adding
the
maps
for
funds
to
the
remainder
of
this
current
fiscal
year.

the
resolution
adopting
that
amendment
first,
let
me
ask
if
anyone
wishes
to
speak
under
the
public
hearing
portion
found
that
801
the
public
hearing
regarding
this
budget
amendment.
Is
there
anyone
who
wishes
to
speak.
A
A
E
E
A
Yes,
motion
carries
unanimously:
okay,
now
we're
at
8p.
This
is
a
joint
resolution
with
the
Oklahoma
City
Economic
Development
Trust,
approving
an
allocation
of
5.5
million
dollars
from
the
geo
limited
tax
bond
trophy
for
the
OKC
small
business
continuity
fund.
This
is
a
proposal
to
provide
support
for
our
small
businesses
as
they
react
and
respond
to
the
köppen
19
pandemic.
As
we
well
know,
many
businesses
are
suffering
a
disproportionate
well.
H
I
Great,
and
so
we
developed
this
program
in
conjunction
with
the
chamber
of
commerce
and
city
staff,
in
order
to
provide
some
financial
assistance
to
those
businesses,
especially
small
businesses,
that
are
impacted
by
the
mid-nineteen
pandemic.
The
proposals
before
you
today
ask
for
an
allocation
of
5.5
million
dollars
from
the
general
obligation,
limited
tax
bonds,
proceed
that
were
authorized
by
the
voters
in
2017
for
Echo
development
and
community
development.
I
Obviously,
the
businesses
have
to
be
located
in
the
city
limits
Danny,
who
a
priority
will
be
given
to
businesses
that
have
operated
for
at
least
a
year
and
to
the
fullest
extent
possible.
We
have
a
goal
to
allocate
25
percent
of
the
funding
for
these
programs
to
businesses
that
are
located
and
low
to
moderate
income
census
tracts,
so
that's
kind
of
the
broad
overview
of
the
program.
L
I
O
I
And
that
it
is
intended
for
economic
development,
the
creation
and
retention
of
jobs
is
is
critical
to
meeting
the
legal
requirements
for
these
economic
development
funds.
So
that's
the
incentive
payment
up
to
$10,000
reimbursement
for
payroll
of
retained
employees.
The
second
program
is
a
small
business
loan
program
that
has
two
parts
and
these
these
programs
are
both
intended
for
businesses
of
50
employees
or
fewer.
I
The
first
one
is
a
no
interest-rate
forgivable
loan
I'm
up
to
$50,000.
That
would
be
forgiven
overtime
if
the
business
meets
certain
requirements,
such
as
long
term
job
retention.
So
the
idea
is
that
they
use
these
resources
to
keep
their
employees
on
the
payroll.
The
second
part
of
the
program
is
a
low-interest
loan
of
between
50
and.
I
We've
had
a
lot
of
questions
from
from
businesses
about
teleworking
or
developing
a
more
robust
online
e-commerce
platform
or
how
to
help
with
navigating
the
federal
stimulus
package
and
the
SBA
process.
So
we
thought
that
setting
up
a
$500,000
allocation
to
help
fund
some
resources
for
these
small
businesses
would
be
what
is
important.
A
few
other
things
about
the
program
is
that
you
can't
businesses
will
not
be
allowed
to
back
programs
you
you
can
apply
for
a
grant
or
you
can
apply
for
one
of
the
loan.
I
We
plan
to
use
a
local
bank
to
help
us
with
the
underwriting
and
servicing
of
the
loan
program.
The
incentive
payment
applications
will
be
reviewed
by
a
team
of
staff,
people
from
the
city,
the
chamber
and
the
Alliance,
and
then
reviewed
by
a
disbursement
committee
that
will
be
set
up
by
the
city
manager.
The
resolution
also
gives
the
city
manager
authority
to
move
money
between
these
four
different
programs.
I
If,
for
example,
we
get
much
more
demand
for
the
incentive
payments
than
we
do
the
loans
we
could,
we
could
potentially
move
money
between
the
programs,
so,
at
the
current
time,
we're
working
very
hard
to
develop
an
online
platform
for
businesses
to
apply
for
the
program.
We
are
working
on
application
forms
and
the
ability
to
upload
the
appropriate
documents
to
prove
eligibility,
and
we
are
obviously
developing
marketing
materials
and
an
FAQ
and
lots
of
different
things,
but
none
of
those
have
been
completed.
G
L
G
I
At
this
point
in
time,
yes,
we
have,
we
believe
that
there's
an
allocation
of
five
hundred
thousand
dollars,
it's
a
part
of
the
resolution
to
cover
our
administrative
cost.
At
this
point
in
time
we
have
had
a
local
bank
come
forward
and
offer
to
do
the
underwriting
and
servicing
for
free,
so
we're
hoping
that
those
costs
are
minimal
and
then
you
know,
but
but
there
will
be
expenses
associated
with
staff
time.
I
I
I
I'd,
rather
have
that
a
little
further
along
another
thing
that
you
know
we
we
hope
to
be
able
to
begin
accepting
applications
on
April,
6
I.
Don't
know
that
we'll
be
able
to
get
everything
in
place
before
then,
just
because
of
some
of
the
technical
requirements
for
the
website.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
get
it
right
and
that
we're
not
having
you
know
technical
issues
for
people
when
they
apply.
G
P
Kathy
yep
Kathy:
this
is
David
Greene.
Well,
yes,
first
of
all
thank
you
and
the
staff
and
everybody
involved
for
coming
so
quickly
with
this
program.
You
know
time
is
of
the
essence
in
situations
like
this,
so
thank
you
for
pulling
this
together
so
quickly.
I
want
to
just
urge
caution
and
good
overview
oversight
of
the
disbursements
related
to
the
technical
or
professional
services
that
may
be
provided.
P
You
know
up
to
the
$500,000
amount,
so
the
SBA
that
gets
involved
in
these
types
of
activities
on
a
regular
basis
are
very
concerned
all
with
with
how
their
funds
will
be
spent.
They
do
not
allow
any
kind
of
contingent
fees
as
it
relates
to
professional
fees
to
assist
in
the
application
and
I
would
just
caution.
K
O
I
E
I
P
Then
my
my
final
question
is:
will
the
city
auditor
be
able
to
review
this
program
at
some
point
time
just
to
ensure
compliance
with
the
guideline
and
that,
whatever
the
criteria
is
that's
established
in
terms
of
determining
who
will
get
funding
and
how
much
that
it's
applied
uniformly
and
and
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
our
first
city
auditor
has
the
ability
to
review
this
program
at
some
point?
Yes,.
I
M
This
is
councilman,
Hammond
I
have
a
few
questions
and
I.
Don't
nobody
can't
get
a
city
manager,
but
do
we
have
an
idea
of
who
would
make
up
this
disbursement
committee
and
of
what,
whether
its
background
or
geography
like
what
is
the
kind
of
qualifications
that
would
get
someone
on
this
disbursement
committee?
Well,.
I
I
M
Also
be
curious,
as
I've
talked
to
small
business
owners
over
the
weekend
after
this
was
made
public.
One
of
the
concerns
that
I've
gotten
is
that
this
is
very
much
like
a
top-down
sort
of
solution
and
so
they've
come
up
with
all
sorts
of
questions
and
concerns
about
you
know
it's.
You
know
I've
heard
from
some
people
that
you
know
their
typical
payroll
of
their.
L
M
T
I
I
I
They're
having
right
now,
but
we
were
trying
to
find
something
that
we
felt
was
impactful
enough
to
make
a
difference
for
these
businesses
and
and
frankly,
I
you
know
from
compared
to
some
of
the
other
cities
that
we
looked
at.
Our
$10,000
is
pretty
generous
compared
to
what
some
other
communities
are
doing
and
I
just
think.
We
have
to
be
realistic
about
how
many,
how
many
people
we
can
help
and
try
to
help,
maybe
the
ones
that
need
it.
The
most,
which
is
you
know
some
of
the
25%
of
these.
I
K
M
You
one
of
my
other
questions
is
related
to
the
census
tract
so
I.
Think
about
you
know
that
there
are
census,
tracts
and
Ward
six
that
are
quote
unquote
low
to
moderate
income
or
disadvantage,
but
one
that's
a
little
bit
old
data
because
things
you
know
the
city
has
changed
quite
a
bit,
particularly
in
parts
of
Ward
six,
so
you
know
it.
It
sort
of
goes
like
I
think
about
Opportunity
Zones,
where
there
are
some
areas
that
are
in
Opportunity
Zones
that
are
doing
really
well
and
they're
fine
on
their
own.
M
They
didn't
really
need
that
designation
to
do
were
investment,
so
I
guess
Mike
I'm,
just
curious,
if
there's
any
other
metrics
we'll
be
using
the
size
of
census,
tracts
to
really
make
sure
that
we're
helping
the
kind
of
traditionally
overlooked.
You
know
areas
of
the
city
and
those
that
those
small
businesses
are.
M
M
Know
everyone's
hurting
and
in
a
crunch
right
now,
obviously
because
of
the
nature
of
this
kind
of
slow-motion
disaster,
but
but
it
doesn't
erase
the
fact
that
you
know
a
census
tracts
low-income
census
tract
in
one
part
of
the
city
is
not
necessarily
translated
exactly
to
other
parts
of
the
city,
particularly
for
business
owners
of
color,
so
yeah
I
just
was
curious.
If
there's
any
other
metrics
we
could
use
and
include
to
kind
of
narrow
down
that
a
little
bit
more.
We.
I
I
N
G
I
Well,
I,
don't
we
don't
envision
the
bank
helping
people
complete
the
application,
I
think
we'll
have
to
help
them
either
through
staff
resources
or
baby.
Some
of
those
technical
resources
I
was
talking
about.
The
bank
is
just
going
to
service
the
loans
they're
not
they're,
going
to
they
are
going
to
underwrite
them,
but
they're
going
to
underwrite
them,
based
on
our
criteria,
which
would
be
much
more
lenient.
I
N
And
with
this
being
foursome
with
the
no
interest
forgivable
loan
up
to
two
years,
what
is
that
continuation
is
like
to
mitigate
as
far
as
these
small
businesses
ensuring
that
they
have
the
correct
and
immediate
support
that
they
need,
including
business
advisors,
accountants
support?
What
are
we
going
to
help
see
them
through
their
process,
or
is
it
up
to
them
to
make
it
through
the
ten
years.
I
Well,
the
loan
will
be
a
10-year
term,
but
on
the
forgivable
part
it
would
be.
It
would
be
forgiven
before
that
10
years
is
reached.
You
know
we,
we
would
probably
forgive
it
after
three
years,
so
I
think
once
they
have
the
loan,
then
we're
we
don't.
We
don't
necessarily
need
to
be
a
part
of
their
business
activity.
That's
you
know,
that's
just
being
a
little
too
intrusive,
but
I.
Don't.
N
I
K
N
That's
my
concern
anyway,
as
I
have
continually
expressed
with
the
conversation
we
had
for
the
briefing
is
that
our
census,
tracts
that
are
most
vulnerable
are
the
ones
that,
in
my
opinion,
in
in
some
aspects,
may
fall
through
the
cracks
of
this.
So
we're
still
going
to
need
to
figure
out
what
support
we
can
give
to
those
vulnerable
businesses
and
even
with
the
technical
support
we
were
again
talking
to
some
of
those
small
businesses
and
I
guess.
The
question
was:
who
could
run?
N
I
A
B
This
is
James
Cooper,
Cathy
I.
Thank
you
for
doing
this
work
and
presenting
this
as
a
as
an
option,
and
please
pass
that
along
to
anybody
else
who
joined
you
in
that
work.
My
my
concern.
I
have
well
a
lot
of
it.
I'll
speak
to
during
items
from
Council,
but
specifically
when
I
think
of
like
the
barber
or
someone
who
might
be
their
own
employee,
they
would
be
able
to
apply
for
this.
Yes,.
E
B
Because
I
have
a
lot
of
that
in
Ward
2
and
then,
when
I
think
of
Southside,
you
know
just
from
teaching
over
there
all
those
years,
I
I
wonder
what
kind
of
outreach
we
can
do.
I,
don't
know
what
institutionally
exists
in
terms
of
relationships
to
like
the
mechanics
that
were
over
there.
The
people
who
own
those
taquerias
and
those
taco
trucks
who
might
not
be
members
of
the
Hispanic
Chamber,
might
not
be
members
of
the
Southside
chamber.
I.
I
F
I
K
B
And
then,
and
again,
I'll
speak
to
this
at
an
item's
from
counsel
portion,
but
I
am
so
appreciative
of
this
5.5
million,
especially
in
comparison
to
the
other
cities.
I
would
just
say
to
anybody
who's
listening
on
the
phone
outside
of
council
and
outside
of
people
who
crafted
this.
For
me,
while
this
is
commendable,
yeah
I,
anticipate
that
we're
gonna
have
to
go
further
and
I
would
say
to
anyone
listening
that
this
is
going
to
be
an
all-hands-on-deck
moment.
This
is
a
something
that
he's
never
done
and
I.
B
K
I
K
I
A
P
This
is
David
Greene
well
in
regards
to
the
access
to
assistance
in
filling
out
this
application,
as
well
as
the
numerous
programs
coming
from
the
federal
government.
There
are
organizations
already
prepared
to
assist
that
you
score
the
organization
of
retired
executives
and
other
organizations.
It's
just
a
matter
of
getting
the
word
out
and,
as
Kathy
mentioned,
part
of
that
process
is
just
word
of
mouth
and
an
informal
network
of
getting
access
to
these
groups
and
also
certain
organization
such
as
the
Oklahoma
City
Chamber,
the
South
Oklahoma
City
Chamber,
the
Hispanic
Chamber
of
Commerce.
P
A
We
really
wouldn't
know
where
to
turn
for
these
resources,
if
not
for
that,
and
so
thank
goodness
for
that,
and
also
again,
thank
goodness
for
the
Alliance,
the
chamber
and
our
city
staff
for
working
together
on
this.
Let
me
call
on
a
few
citizens
who
signed
up
to
speak,
we'll
start
with
Gary,
Goldman
and
Gary.
If
you
wouldn't
mind
stating
your
name
and
address
I
neglected
to
ask
you
that
earlier
and
and
keep
your
remarks
to
three
minutes
Gary,
you
recognized.
A
Okay,
you
hear
me
now:
yeah,
okay,
Gary
Goldman,
a
ga
ry
gol,
D
MA
and
business
address,
714,
North,
Broadway,
Oklahoma,
City,
7:30,
102,
first
off
Cathy,
fantastic
job.
Putting
all
this
together
and
answering
all
the
questions.
It's
much
appreciated.
Just
a
couple,
quick
questions
for
the
no
interest,
forgivable
small-business
loan
program.
A
I
A
O
A
I
A
A

K

A
A
G
Q
You
mr.
mayor
members
of
council,
Jon
Faddis
1630
to
the
North
East
54th
Street
Oklahoma
City,
seven,
three
one
one
I'd
like
to
thank
the
staff
for
this
initial
program.
Most
of
my
questions
have
been
answered,
but
I
still
have
three.
That
I
need
clarification
on
number
one
is:
will
companies
who
pay
their
employees
by
cheque
and
at
the
end
of
the
year,
give
them
a
1099?
Would
they
be
eligible
to
participate.
I
I
Yes,
we
so
we
we
hope,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
to
start
accepting
application
on
April
6th.
We
will
we'll
probably
have
to
have
a
cutoff
date
because
we're
going
to
get
more
applications
than
we
have
money
for
and
then
after
that,
cutoff
date,
we'll
start
scoring
them.
The
applications
will
be
evaluated
against
the
you
know,
set
criteria,
and
then
we
will
begin
to
make
payments.
I
would.
I
Q
My
last
question
in
in
reading
HR
748
there's
a
there's
a
possibility
that
the
city
could
receive
some
funds
from
the
federal
from
the
federal
government
to
basically
augment
this
program.
If
those
funds
are
received,
will
the
city
continue
women
where
they
add
those
funds
to
this
program,
or
once
this
problem
has
been
spent
at
5.5
million
dollars?
That's
the
end
of
it.
Well,.
I
I
mean
I
think
obviously
that's
up
to
Council,
but
we'll
have
to
look
at
what
what
the
regulations
and
the
rules
are,
that
come
down
with
that
federal
money
and
see
if
we
can.
If
we
need
to
adapt
this
program
any
or
if
we
can
just
use
this
one.
But
yet
we'll
just
have
to
wait
and
see
what.
What
all
that,
how
all
that
plays
out.
T
But
you
know
people
we
are
encouraging
them
to
a
block,
oblige
social
distancing
businesses
are
becoming
very
creative
and
to
stay
afloat.
We
are
resilient
community
reaching
out
to
colleagues
across
the
different
cities
across
the
city.
Well,
I'm
glad
to
hear
is
that
the
technical
assistance
part
is
included
in
this
component,
which
is
very
important,
I.
Think
right
now
this
thing
of
a
great
short-term.
T
My
concern
is
in
that
I'm
looking
at
business
long
term,
so
hopefully
from
this
initiative,
they'll
spark
some
long-term
solutions
or
strategies
to
support
our
small
businesses
and
minority-owned
businesses.
Long
term
I
do
believe
that
this
is
an
opportunity
for
our
minority-owned
businesses
to
build
a
sustainable
framework.
This
is
credit
in
capital,
so
I'm
excited
to
see
that
one
question
that
I
have
is
will
come.
T
It
is
that
I
don't
believe
that
our
the
word
is
getting
out
beyond
the
same
networks
that
are
used
so
I
also
manage
the
black
leadership
network
and
we've
created
a
digital
resource
guide.
We
have
over
1600
black
professors
in
our
group,
but
beyond
that,
there's
not
a
lot
of
information
being
gathered.
So
I'd
like
to
offer
myself
as
a
as
a
resource
of
a
connector.
That's
a
bridge
go
to
make
sure
this
information
like
this
and
others
gets
there
through
those
small
businesses
and
hospitals
on
network
I'm.
Grateful
that
this
is
happening.
T
I
believe
that
we
will
get
through
this
and
thank
you
mayor
and
it's
and
the
counselors
and
staff
for
being
front
liners
as
well.
You
all
are
also
taking
risks
and
I
think
that
was
really
my
only
comment
or
concern
about
getting
the
word
out
so
Kathy
in
the
mayor's
office
and
council
members,
if
I
can
do
anything
to
get
the
word
out
to
our
locally
owned
minority-owned
black
home
businesses
and
Oklahoma
City
metro
area.
Please
consider
me
as
a
resource
Thank.
B
T
F
N
I,
just
I
had
a
question
when
it
comes
to,
as
we
were
listening
to
some
of
those
questions
and
concerns.
Is
it
possible
to
get
regular
reports
for
the
applicants
and
and
those
who
get
funded
and
to
understand
maybe
as
to
why
some
of
those
applicants
may
not
have
been
approved,
so
we
can
understand
where
we
may
need
to
work
when
it
comes
to
better
resources
or
other
alternatives
for
our
small
businesses?
N
I
And
I
think
one
thing
that
I
failed
to
mention
or
would
like
to
suggest
is
that
maybe
you
know
for
the
next
council
or
the
next
few
council
meetings
that
there
be
an
item
on
the
agenda
or
a
report
where
we
can
update
you
on
how
this
is
going
and
and
yes,
I,
think
it'll
be
interesting
to
see
kind
of
where
the
gaps
are
and
if
people
don't
qualify,
why
they
are
things
like
that,
so
yeah
we're
definitely
going
to
be
looking
at
those
kind
of
trends.
So.
A
C
E
K
A
A
P
through
J
I
am
now
going
to
address
all
at
once.
I'm
going
to
your
legal
reasons,
I'm
going
to
speak
for
a
while
here,
reading
some
things
and
then
we're
gonna
go
back
and
rip
rice
and
walk
it
through
and
we'll
take
a
series
of
vote
so
just
to
describe
for
public
notice.

out
as
well,
but
anything
we
can
do
to
encourage
our
residents.
I
think
will
hopefully
help
us
beat
Tulsa
and
make
sure
that
we
have
an
accurate
count.
So
we
get
as
much
funding
from
the
federal
government
and
have
all
the
right
representation
in
our
communities.
B
C
G
A
K
B
Yeah,
oh
thank
you.
I
really
want
to
applaud
again
Kathy
and
Brent,
and
anybody
who
worked
on
the
5.5
million
and
incentives
and
those
low
to
no
interest
loans
to
our
small
business
community
I
suspect
we'll
be
back
to
ask
for
more
because
the
the
calls
I
get
from
my
small
business
community
and
they're
so
thankful
for
this
moment
for
our
city
of
shutting
up,
and
it
makes
me
think,
there's
going
to
be
some
more
steps.
Very
specifically,
though
I
I'm
not
saying
that
this
is
the
city's
position.
B
Currently,
what
I
am
saying
is
these
are
this
is
where
I'm
at
with
this
moment
and
I
really
just
want
to
be
on
record
saying
this.
So
I
think
that
we
need
to
I
think
to
meet
this
moment
with
the
seriousness
it
demands.
We
need
our
country's
federal
government
to
work
with
us
to
strengthen
our
city's
efforts
with
our
physical
distancing
efforts,
we're
of
course
working
to
slow
the
spread
of
the
disease.
B
What's
the
specific
plan
to
increase
drastically
the
production
and
distribution
of
tests,
including
necessary
chemicals
and
kits,
to
collect
specimens
critically?
What's
our
plan
to
implement
something
similar
to
the
successful
strategy
we're
seeing
in
South
Korea,
which
has
been
this
is
from
science
magazine?
South
Korea
has
the
most
expansive
and
well-organized
testing
program
in
the
world.
According
to
science,
magazine
quote,
South
Korea
has
tested
more
than
270,000
people,
which
amounts
to
more
than
5,200
tests
per
million
inhabitants,
and
that
is
more
than
any
other
country
except
tiny
Bahrain.
B
This
approach
has
slowed
the
disease
without
resorting
to
authoritarianism,
moreover,
South
Korea
and
again
this
is
from
science
magazine
South
Korea
demonstrates
quote.
Diagnostic
capacity
at
scale
is
key
to
epidemic
control,
and
that
was
them
quoting
from
Reina
McIntyre
and
emerging
infectious
disease.
Scholar
at
the
University
of
New,
South,
Wales,
Sydney
and
now
I'm,
moving
out
from
the
quote.
B
I
just
want
to
say
that,
with
this
approach
from
FEMA
and
our
White
House,
our
city
will
have
an
opportunity
to
expand
testing
while
widely
to
young
and
old
alike,
allowing
us
to
find
where
local
spread
is
occurring.
So
we
can
socially
isolate
bulk
and
prevent
the
disease
from
spreading
two
more
communities.
So
that's
one
action
item,
math
Tech
testing
number
two
to
implement
mass
testing
nationally.
We
need
to
know
FEMA
and
our
White
House's
plan
to
produce
and
distribute
personal
protective
equipment
to
first
responders
and
health
care
workers.
Right
now.
B
Our
White
House
through
FEMA
requires
local
and
state
governments
to
exhaust
exhaust
all
efforts
to
secure
PPE,
and
while
our
city
takes
such
steps,
we
wait
why,
specifically,
what's
the
plan
to
keep
safe
those
on
the
front
line?
Administering
these
tests?
What's
FEMA
and
our
White
House's
plan
to
increase
drastically
the
production
and
distribution
of
ventilators
as
well?
So
that's
mass
testing
and
personal
product
protection
equipment.
B
Number
three
I
am
thankful
to
Oklahoma's
congressional
delegation
for
passing
a
historic
two
trillion
dollar
relief
package
to
many
of
my
neighbors
friends
and
wor
to
constituents
lost
their
jobs
due
to
kovat.
The
relief
coming
from
Congress
will
save
lives,
but
only
if
Congress
takes
further
action
to
invest
in
individuals,
our
people
can
pay
rent,
buy
groceries,
purchase,
prescriptions,
etc.
B
For,
moreover,
what's
the
plan
from
Congress
and
a
follow
up
or
leave
packet
of
our
city's
small
business
community
pay,
rent
and
utilities
to
help
retain
workers
so
again,
mass
testing,
personal
protective
equipment,
further
investment
in
individuals
and
further
investment
in
our
small
business
community.
Taken
together,
these
four
action
items
have
the
potential
to
slow
the
spread
of
the
disease,
save
lives
and
begin
making
right
our
city's
economy
at
the
local
level.
I
am
proud
of
the
historic
vote.
B
City
Council
took
today
to
support
our
small
business
community,
but
without
state
and
federal
government
as
willing
partners.
Our
efforts
amount
to
a
bandaid
on
a
dam,
and
our
local
efforts
must
not
be
in
vain.
We
have
cause
for
concern
a
conservative
commentator,
rich
Lowry
notes
regarding
kovat
19
quote:
President
Trump
spent
the
initial
weeks
minimizing
the
threat
and
talking
of
it
magically
disappearing,
end
quote
and
again,
this
is
from
a
conservative
commentator.
B
We
cannot
afford
inaction,
we
cannot
rely
on
magical
thinking.
We
cannot
stay
home
forever.
That's
the
end
of
that
quote,
and
this
is
me
now
we
must
move
Swift
to
slow
the
spread
of
the
disease,
save
lives
and
begin
making
right
our
city's
economy
too
many
Ward
2
residents
worked
too
hard
to
write
oklahoma
city's
recent
renaissance
story
and
their
work
must
not
be
in
vain.
Finally,
again,
we've
got
to
make
sure
that
we
are
remembering
our
Oklahoma
standard
here
that
we
are
resilient.
B
It's
who
we
are
from
the
native
peoples
who
first
settled
this
land
to
the
Dust
Bowl.
To
this
very
moment
and
I
would
say
we
are
in
a
moment
that
is
the
Spanish
Flu
meets
the
Great.
Depression
meets
9/11
meets
the
financial
crash
this
this
is
this
needs
to
be
an
all-hands-on-deck
moment.
We
cannot.
We
cannot
not
to
meet
this
moment.
I
would
encourage
everybody
who
would
like
to
know
where
I'm
getting
these
resources,
while
I'm
thinking
about
math
testing
the
way
that
I
am
when
I'm
thinking
about
personal
protective
equipment.
B
The
way
that
I
am
there
was
a
PBS
Newshour
segment,
it's
entitled,
and
you
can
google,
this
PBS
Newshour
why
the
u.s.
is
still
severely
constrained
in
ability
to
test
for
koban
19.
So
those
are
my
thoughts.
I
just
do
not
like
the
idea
of
an
action.
I
do
not
like
the
idea
of
telling
our
people,
let's
physical,
physically
distance,
each
from
each
other,
but
not
have
a
plan
of
how
we're
going
to
end
this.
B
This
moment
and-
and
so
those
are
the
four
action
items
I
would
recommend
if
the
council
person
forward
to
and
in
concluding
I
would
say,
this
has
been
weighing
heavily
on
me
as
I've
learned
about
our
incredible
efforts
from
the
emergency
management
team
at
securing
that
personal
protective
equipment.
I
am
so
thankful
to
Franklin
Barnes
for
his
work,
I
think
they're
doing
incredible
work
and
now
they
need
a
partner
in
the
White
House
who's
going
to
help
them
really
do
the
work
that
we
need
to
get
out
of
this
moment.
B
I've
been
thinking
a
lot
about
how
First
Christian
Church
was
a
sanctuary
in
the
aftermath
of
the
Oklahoma
City
bombing
and
because
of
that
I
just
feel
a
responsibility
to
step
up
and
talk
about
how
we're
going
to
get
out
of
this
and
not
just
remain
at
home.
So
thank
you
for
listening
and
thank
you
Council
for
the
vote
you
took
today
and
thank
you
mayor
for
the
work
you're
doing.
E
Well,
thank
you
know
just
a
one
observation
or
comment.
Thank
you
for
your
comments,
Gaines.
What
we
did
this
morning
was
to
past
a
small
business
continuity
program
intended
to
help
our
small
businesses
pay
rent,
pay
their
employees
jumpstart
the
economy.
Hopefully
we'll
keep
our
eye
on
that
target
as
we
move
forward,
and
everybody
has
a
different
approach
to
how
this
could
be
implemented.
But
if
we
come
together
and
implemented
in
a
cohesive
manner,
I
will.
E
K
P
Honor,
thank
you,
I
appreciate
it
and,
first
of
all,
thanks
to
all
the
city,
employees
who
have
done
a
great
job
during
this
difficult
time,
as
well
as
everybody
throughout
the
city,
just
to
remind
individuals,
the
actions
we
took
this
morning
with
respect
to
assisting
privately
owned
businesses.
Small
businesses-
that's
just
one
of
many
programs
currently
in
place
funding-
is,
is
already
coming
through
to
businesses
the
well
over.
P
P
M
Thank
you.
I
would
like
to
echo
I
leave
a
few
council.
Members
have
commended
our
our
city
staff
and,
in
particular
I
know
so
many
of
our
staff
and
folks
at
the
City
County
Health
Department
have
been
working
just
non-stop
the
past
two
weeks
and
Beyond
trying
to
respond
to
this,
and
in
particular,
though
I'd
like
to
just
commend
our
public
information
office.
M
I,
don't
I,
don't
know
how
they're
keeping
up
with
everything
just
the
amount
of
information
that,
as
things
have
changed
so
quickly,
I
just
really
commend
them
for
keeping
the
public
informed
and
then
somehow,
in
the
midst
of
all
of
this.
Also
creating
new
accounts
on
social
media,
for
our
spanish-speaking
residents
is
just
really
amazing.
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
all
their
how
responsive
they've
been
across
social
media.
M
As
well
as
just
proactive
and
getting
graphics
ready
for
the
various
emergency
orders
and
just
making
sure
that
that
information
is
digestible
for
the
public
as
possible,
I'd
also
like
to
speak
to
you.
I
know:
I
brought
this
up
at
Council
two
weeks
ago,
but
I'd
also
like
to
just
again
make
mention
of
all
the
people
in
the
city
that
are
experiencing
homelessness
right
now.
M
They
are
particularly
vulnerable
population
and
I
know
we
have
city
staff
as
well
as
multiple
agencies
that
are
partners
in
the
community
that
have
been
again
just
working
day
to
day
to
respond
and
and
figure
out
how
to
continue
service
serving
those.
Those
folks
at
a
distance.
I
know
a
lot
of
you
know.
The
work
is
trying
to
continue
to
implement
our
housing
first
philosophy
and
get
folks
that
they
can
into
housing
as
quickly
as
possible.
M
But
we
know
we
have
a
lot
of
folks
that
are
still
living
on
sheltered
and
trying
to
communicate
with
those
folks
get
some
resources
and
also
find
ways
to
get
them
shelter,
particularly
for
people
who
might
be
experiencing
symptoms
or
need
to
isolate
from
from
the
greater
community
and
in
particular,
I'd
like
to
mention
and
just
anyone,
who's
on
this
call
or
any
other
council
members
that
can
help
advocate
at
this
level.
I
know
a
group
of
partners
have
come
together
in
Oklahoma
City
to
request.
M
Just
is
is
really
inhumane
to
be
to
be
leaving
folks
outside
in
that
situation,
so
just
any
advocacy
that
that
can
be
provided
to
help
those
partners
who've
been
just
working
on
stop
to
serve
people
with
already.
You
know
a
lot
of
barriers
and
very
little
resources
to
do
that
in
a
crisis.
You
know
they
need
all
the
support
that
that
they
can
from
our
city,
leadership
and
and
above
so
I
appreciate,
appreciate
the
assistance.
Thank
you.
A
N
So
there
are
some
wonderful
things
happening
there
right
now,
as
far
as
to
re-establish
and
rehabilitate
different
parts
of
boli's.
So
under
that
leadership,
and
just
community
members
fitting
in
were
able
to
see
those
take
place,
some
of
the
other
things
I
want
to
mention
are
the
resilience.
The
resilience
of
the
community
in
Ward
7,
especially
during
this
process
of
what's
going
on,
I,
want
to
commend,
restore
OKC
and
the
partnership
they
had
with
skyline
urban
ministries.
G
N
Just
to
know
people
are
able
to
have
a
need
met
in
the
community.
It
truly
means
a
lot
when
you
have
entities
such
as
restore
OKC,
skyline
ministries
and
all
those
partners
that
help
to
make
sure
as
families
are
being
fed
and
also
our
school
system,
to
make
sure
our
young
people
are
getting
fed,
and
we
do
know
there
have
been
new
schools
that
have
been
added
to
the
school
meals
program,
including
in
our
community
Douglas,
high
school
and
minutes
Lakeview
for
those
young
people
that
we
know
zero
to
18.
N
Who
may
need
models
that
they
can
also
go
to
those
particular
areas.
Besides
elementary
school
locations,
we
also
want
to
commend
Fairview
Baptist
Church.
They
did
a
food
giveaway
this
past
weekend
as
well,
and
this
is
what
we
talked
about.
You
know
it's
as
Mary
spoke
about
in
your
comments.
This
is
the
time
to
be
a
neighbor
and
we
have
seen
resiliency
in
folks
being
neighbors
to
those
that
are
around
them.
But
we
also
also
are
happy
that
those
folks-
and
we
hope
that
they
are
still
continuing
to
show.
K
D
N
In
that
social
distancing
aspect
and
and
just
ensuring
that
while
they
are
being
safe,
that
they're
still
also
taking
care
of
others.
So
we
thank
everybody
for
that.
I
want
to
make
mention
of
the
National
cowboy
Western
and
Heritage
Museum.
It
sits
in
the
adventure
district
in
Ward
7
and,
if
you
have
not
been
following
their
Twitter
should
because
cowboy
Tim
has
taken
off
and
taken
flight
and
giving
joy
to
a
lot
of
folks
through
through
this
time
and
hashtag.
N
The
cowboy
has
received
international
recognition
during
this
time
to
highlight
the
things
that
are
happening
at
the
museum,
so
the
great
thing
about
what
is
taking
place,
although
it's
very
sweet
that
we
can't
get
outside
for
a
lot
of
us,
we
can't
experience
some
of
those
places.
We've
never
been,
including
a
museum
such
as
this
and
the
intricate
details
of
different
things
that
people
may
or
may
not
have
paid
attention
to.
So
with
that
I
know
they're,
they
have
grown
as
far
as
their
support
in
their
social
media
in
a
lot
quite
a
bit.
N
Three
hundred
and
seventy
nine
percent
on
Instagram
forty-nine
percent
on
Facebook
and
2050
eight
percent
on
Twitter-
that's
just
for
one
account.
So
this
speaks
to
again
the
resiliency
that
we
still
have
for
and
during
this
time,
and
also
with
our
Oklahoma
City
Zoo.
This
is
a
hard
time
for
them
as
we
know,
but
they
still
have
to
do
it
too,
that
people
can
tune
in
and
watch.
So
those
are
just
a
few
things
that
are
happening
when
it
comes
to
some
of
those
places.
N
If
you
hadn't
seen
that
a
couple
weeks
ago,
they
were
on
guy
Fareri,
diners,
drive-ins
and
dives,
and
they
they
were
on
there
talking
about
their
business
and
it
was
really
timely
for
them
to
be
on
there
and
the
mystic
was
taking
place.
So
I
hope
people
will
still
continue
to
patron
all
of
those
places,
especially
those
in
Ward
seven,
those
businesses
that
really
need
our
assistance
in
our
support.
N
A
couple
other
things
positions
week:
it
is
positions
week,
so
we
definitely
want
to
say
thank
you
to
all
of
our
physicians
that
are
working
overtime
to
ensure
that
we
are
able
to
get
the
resources
and
the
help
to
those
who
need
it.
The
most,
especially
those
who
have
received
those
positive
results
due
to
Kovac
19,
and
then
they
get
the
support
that
they
truly
need.
I
know
one
of
the
things
that
we
talked
about
James
and
I.
When
we
went
on
our
congressional
trip
with
NLC
was
broadband
and
right
now.
N
This
is
something
that
I
believe
on
a
city
level.
We
we
all
as
council
members,
can
continue
to
advocate
for
better
access
and
broadband
in
our
rural
areas
in
those
other
areas
that
we
know
are
unable
to
receive
it,
especially
during
this
time
when
we
know
our
school
districts
are
going
online.
As
far
as
a
lot
of
that
on
learning
and
our
young
people
to
ensure
that
they
get
all
of
those
resources
that
they
need,
so
they
won't
fall
in
the
cracks
and
be
left
behind.
N
As
far
as
our
seniors
I
know,
I've
been
trying
to
understand
what
some
of
those
needs
are
for.
Some
of
our
seniors
that
may
are,
there
may
be
self
dependent
and
I
understand
for
some
who
may
be
on
assistance.
They
are
able
to
get
groceries,
but
they
aren't
able
to
use
whatever
assistance
they
have
for
paper
products.
F
N
If
there's
anyone
that
can
assist
in
helping
some
of
our
seniors
with
that
effort,
that
would
be
a
great
thing
that
we
will
be
able
to
help
with
our
seniors
as
well.
So
with
that
again,
I
just
want
to
say:
please
make
sure
we
are
continuing
the
social
distancing,
shelter
in
place,
and
we
will
definitely
get
through
this
as
a
city.
So
thank
you.

he
loved
his
employees
and
he
most
of
all
loved
to
promote
and
protect
the
Skirvin,
which
is
a
treasure
historic,
landmark
for
Oklahoma
City.
When
he
came
to
the
city
embrace
the
city,
he
was
active
with
nonprofits,
he
will
be
missed.
He

My

At
$195,000
and
we're
going
to
ask
the
City
Council
to
extend
that
program
on
April
the
14th.
Finally,
my
thoughts
and
prayers
go
out
to
all
the
families
who
are
suffering
because
of
this
virus
who
have
lost
loved
ones.
I
pray
everyday
for
the
hospital
staffers,
the
first
responders,
the
nurses
and
the
doctors
may
God
be
with
you.
Thank
you.

The
only
thing
that
we
have
on
today
is
claims
in
payroll,
but
I
do
want
to
say.
I
just
mentioned
thanks
to
mayor
Holt,
into
council
leadership
during
this
crisis.
I
also
appreciated
council
members,
who've
made
mention
of
the
many
city
employees
who
are
continuing
to
serve
we're
doing
all
we
can
to
provide
as
much
flexibility
as
possible,
either
in
work
from
home
or
flexible
leave
usage
to
be
able
to
protect
our
employees
where
we
can,
but
also
make
sure
that
we
can
continue
to
provide
the
critical
services
that
we
provide
so
many
those
services.
