A
Good
afternoon
it

o'clock
on

so
I
would

The

item
item.
Three
is
consent
docket
there
are
a
number
of
things
on
the
consent,
docket
some
amendments
to
engineering
contracts,
there's
the
proof.
The
audit,
which
is
a
significant
thing.
It's
always
a
significant
thing
when
you
get
a
clean
audit.
That's
a
that's
a
good
thing.
A
Some
number
of
resolutions
on
there
to
do
our
annual
businesses
from
approving
Bank
contracts

appointing
the

for
the
Mickey

mostly
housekeeping

In
compliance
with
the
statutory
requirement,
the
trust
engaged
Alan
Gibbs
and
harlik
the
external
Auditors
to
conduct
its
annual
audit
for
fiscal
year
2022,
the
external
Auditors
found
no
instances
of
non-compliances
and
that
the
MCA
financials
were
presented
fairly

there
were

2022.
C
C
The
expenses
were
consistent
in
fiscal
year
2022,
whereas
the
revenues
saw
a
slight
decline
of
1.5
million.
This
is
primarily
due
to
changes
in
the
cash
requirement
that
are
tied
to
the
mega
Greek
revenue
bonds
that
are
secured
by
the
aliquot
share
revenues
from
the
participants
of
the
authority.
With
that
I'll
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
all
may
have.
Thank
you.
A
Seeing
none?
Is
there
a
motion
to

the
audited
annual
financial

and
Communications
second
motion
and
a
second
to
approve
it
all
in
favor,
indicate
by
saying
aye
aye
aye
motion
oppose
same
sign.
Excuse
me,
motion
passes,
Item
B
is
a
presentation
on
the
McGee
Creek
Authority
fiscal
year,
2024
budget.
D
D
The
sources
include
8
million,
eight
hundred
and
eighty
six
thousand
dollars.
This
includes
raw
water
sales
from
the
Atoka
Rural
Water
District
number,
four,
that's
estimated
to
be
at
five
hundred
and
seventy
thousand
dollars.
This
includes
a
rate
plan
adjustment,
in
addition
to
increase
in
consumption
based
on
historical
Trends.
In
addition,
we
have
interest
earnings.
This
is
primarily
from
our
operating
account
in
comparison
to
FY
23.
We
had
slightly
more
investment
earnings,
and
this
was
because
we
also
had
Bond
accounts
where
we
had
investment
earnings.
D
Those
bonds
have
now
been
defeated,
so
primarily,
our
investment
income
is
from
our
operating
account
and
that's
a
hundred
and
thirty
thousand
dollars.
We
also
have
a
reimbursement
from
the
Bureau
of
Reclamation
per
a
contract
that
was
established
in
the
1990s.
The
Bor
reimburses
8.55
percent
of
eligible
expenses
related
to
O,
M
and
capital
expenditures
for
the
dam
and
Reservoir.
That's
estimated
to
be
a
hundred
and
eight
thousand
for
fy24
awkward's
eloquent
share
component
is
another
source
of
Revenue.
This
is
estimated
at
5.4
million,
roughly,
which
is
66.67
percent.
That's
awkward's
eloquent
share
component.
D
D
Now
we'll
go
over
to
the
uses
side
where
we
anticipate
our
budget
expenditures
to
be
in
the
coming
year.
This
includes
Personnel
Services,
estimated
at
445
000
for
paying
the
salaries,
benefits
and
retirement
contribution
for
the
McGee
Creek
employees.
This
also
includes
a
contingency
of
an
eight
percent
cost
of
living
adjustment
that
the
City
of
Oklahoma
City
has
forecasted
in
their
budget
for
the
coming
year
and
a
three
percent
Merit
adjustment
to
the
pay
plan,
contracts
and
services
is
decreasing
slightly
compared
to
FY
23,
it's
a
reduction
of
approximately
a
hundred
and
forty
thousand
dollars.
D
That's
due
to
expected
reduction
in
outside
legal
services.
In
the
coming
year,
we
are
seeing
a
slight
increase
in
equipment
and
supplies.
This
is
due
to
a
couple
of
things:
we're
increasing
our
pump
and
motor
refurbishment
program,
which
includes
more
of
the
materials
and
supplies
we've
seen
some
cost
increases
over
the
last
couple
of
years,
and
this
is
also
including
an
adjustment
to
the
uniform
policy
that
was
implemented.
D
Mark
long
will
go
through
the
capital
in
more
detail
on
the
next
slide,
but
the
final
sources
that
we
have
for
you
on
this
slide
here
includes
an
operating
ncip
Reserve.
This
is
a
reserve
that
we
established
in
FY
23,
which
will
help
provide
funding
Authority
for
any
unforeseen
operating
expenses
or
Capital.
Emergency
repairs.
E
Thank
you
Mr
chairman
and
trustees.
The
capital
program
is
based
on
the
budgeting
amount
of
seven
million
one
hundred
and
fifty
two
thousand
dollars.
We
will
highlight
some
of
these
in
a
project
update,
but
just
to
to
highlight
the
summary
of
that.
We
have
several
Bureau
of
Reclamation
projects
that
are
due
to
budgeting
in
for
items
that
come
up
during
the
annual
Bor
inspection.
Over
the
past
few
years,
we've
been
able
to
whittle
that
number
down,
so
we're
only
estimating
that
at
fifty
thousand
dollars
the
pump
station
and
pipeline
facility
improvements
is
five
million.
E
Eight
hundred
thousand
we've
got
a
headquarter
building
plan
for
ffne
of
200
000.
we've
got
technology
improvements
associated
with
the
improvements
to
the
headquarter
area
of
a
hundred
thousand
and
other
Associated
projects,
there's
equipment,
replacement
of
two
hundred
and
forty
two
thousand
and
then
facility
Road
improvements
in
is
760
000,
which
is
part
of
a
larger
project,
which
is
about
2.1
million
of
Road
improvements
throughout
the
entire
area
of
McGee
Creek
can
answer
any
questions
that
you
might
have.
E
A
All
right,
no
question
Donna.
Is
there
a
item
B2?
Is
there
a
motion
to
adopt
a
res
or
a
motion
to
adopt
the
resolution
for
the
McGee
Creek
fiscal
year,
2024
budget?
So
if
we
have
a
motion,
second,
all
in
favor
indicate
by
saying
aye
aye
aye
those
opposed
the
same
sign.
The
motion
carries
item.
C
is
the
fiscal
year
2024
loan
agreement
for
the
from
the
with
the
Oklahoma
City
water
utilities
trust
so
there's
enough
cash
to
to
fund
the
entire
budget.
A
So
there's
a
loan
agreement
with
the
city,
the
water
utilities,
dress
to
to
fund
that
as
we've
done
in
previous
years.
Is
there
a
motion
to
approve
the
loan
agreement
so
moved?
We
have
a
motion.
Second,
any
questions,
seeing
none
all
in
favor
indicate
by
saying
aye,
aye
I
oppose
the
same
sign.
The
motion
carries
item.
A
So
is
there
a
motion
to
approve
the
resolution
D,
so
we
have
a
motion
in
a
second
all
favor
indicate
by
saying
aye,
aye
aye
all
pose
the
same
sign.
The
motion
carries
out
of
me:
is
a
resolution
approving
McGee
Creek
Authority
funds
for
equipment,
replacement,
authorized
general
manager
or
designated
purchase
such
equipment
items
from
the
state
and
other
intergovernmental
Cooperative
purchasing
agreements,
so
we're
here
to
be
able
to
give
the
authorization
to
buy
some
of
the
capital
that
we
just
approved
with
the
budget.
A
Is
there
a
motion
to
approve
item
e,
so
move
second
of
a
motion
in
a
second
all
in
favor,
indicate
by
saying
aye
aye
oppose
the
same
sign.
The
motion
carries
item
f.
Is
a
resolution
ratifying
the
action
to
the
general
manager
for
implementing
a
seven
percent
pay
plan
adjustment,
retroactive,
July,
1
2022,
a
three
percent
one-time
individual
stipend
for
all
current
full-time
McGee,
Creek
Authority
employees
and
improving
a
new
play
pay
plan
retroactive
to
July
1
2022
through
July
30th
2023.,
total
cost
estimates
22
26
200,
that's
a
that's!
A
The
largest
pay
increase,
I
believe
we
we've
ever
seen
and,
of
course
the
employees
are
are
worth
every
every
dollar.
But
but
and
again
it's
it's
just
a
sign
of
the
times
of
what
we're
going
through
right
now.
So
again,
is
there
a
motion
to
approve
so
my
item.
F
A
Have
a
motion
in
a
second
all
in
favor,
indicate
by
saying
aye
aye
aye
motion
opposed
same
sign.
The
motion
carries
item
G
is
resolution
authorizing
direct
between
the
general
manager
to
establish
and
administer
procurement
policies
and
practices
in
accordance
with
afferable
law.
The
state
law
has
changed
on
the
limits
on
purchasing
agreements,
and
so
what
we
are
doing
are
increasing
those
limits
that
are
now
available
based
upon
the
changes
to
state
law
that
are
questions
regarding
that
resolution
or
that
policy
see
none.
Is
there
a
motion
to
approve
the
resolution?
F
A
Aye
oppose
the
same
sign
in
the
motion.
Carries
H.
Is
a
resolution
authorizing
the
McGee
create
to
settle
a
case
of
Meridian
Contracting
versus
the
McGee
Creek
Authority
we
had
outside
Council
assist
with
that
and
it's
a
settlement
of
I
guess
8
786
dollars
and
64
cents.
So
we
need
a
both
I
think
we
do
in
one
motion
a
resolution
to
approve
items
one
and
two
under
the
agreement.
Mr
Keith,
you
have
anything
to
add.
F
No,
there
was,
we
had
the
assistance
of
SRB
and
it
was
a
very
complicated
situation
with
regard
to
the
improvements
down
at
Mickey
Creek
and
we
felt
like
we
had
resolved
all
the
issues
contractor
felt
like
they
were
still
due,
120
000
plus,
and
so
we
negotiated
down
to
eight
thousand
dollars.
A
A
G
Don't
have
any
particular
items.
I
would
like
to
make
a
comment
on
the
investment
that
that
Oklahoma
City
is
making
into
McGeary
McGee
Creek
for
Southeastern
Oklahoma.
Is
it's
a
huge
impact
on
the
economics
of
our
part
of
the
state,
those
those
monies
flow
out
to
multiple
communities
around
the
lake
and
just
further
the
economic
growth
of
those
communities
because
of
the
investment
Oklahoma
cities
make
been
a
good
partnership.
It.
B
H
H
Excuse
me,
our
current
rainfall
total
for
this
12
month
range
was
45.03
and
our
normal
average
rainfall
for
the
year
is
44.7.
We're
0.33
slightly
above
our
normal
rainfall.
For
this
12-month
range
MCA
had
an
average
Lake
elevation
of
575
feet,
which
is
two
feet
below
or
normal
for
this
12-month
range.
H
H
532
dollars
as
of
today,
we
are
five
foot
above
normal
and
full
and
waiting
on
the
call
to
let
some
of
it
go.
H
Unfortunately,
we
can't
hold
it
too
much
longer
and
typically,
it's
good
to
try
to
pump
it
when
we're
full
of
Atoka
is
low,
but
I
took
his
right
now
within
about
five
to
six
inches
from
hitting
the
spillway.
H
I
I
They
came
out
in
October
and
did
a
dive
inspection
of
the
river
Outlet
works
and
the
intake
structure.
Just
last
week.
They
were
here
and
performed
a
crawler
cam
inspection
of
the
tow
drains
at
the
dam
and
the
dike.
There's
seven
of
those
total
at
the
end
of
March
they'll
be
doing
their
annual
site
inspection
I.
Think
we're
ready
for
that
and
also
in
may
they
will
enter
into
the
m.
I
We
do
have
a
pump
and
motor
that
will
go
out
soon
for
refurbishment
Evans
will
be
doing
that
work
and
something
that
slipped
my
mind
until
driving
up
here
this
morning,
the
hydroelectric
turbine.
That's
a
done
deal
right,
that's
old
news!
Now!
So
I'm
happy
to
say
that
is
over
with
it's
going
to
be
a
busy
summer
ahead
with
many
projects
that
Mark
is
about
to
talk
about,
and
that's
all
I
have
any
questions
all
right.
Thank.
A
F
E
First
I
want
to
discuss
wmco35,
which
is
the
McGee
Creek
Authority
roadway
improvements.
This
has
been
a
multi-year
effort
in
trying
to
address
the
six
sections
of
roadway
that
are
the
responsibility
of
MCA.
First
of
the
list
of
Roads
is
shown
on
the
left,
Pump
Station,
Road,
Dam,
Road,
Spillway,
Road
and
Dyke
Road.
That
project
has
been
awarded.
We
grouped
these
projects
as
you've
seen
in
your
packet.
We
had
several
efforts
at
trying
to
bid
them
in
smaller
pieces
or
together
a
lack
of
bidders.
In
one
instance.
E
We
finally
awarded
a
project
to
Ellsworth
Construction
in
the
amount
of
2
million
and
9
931
dollars,
and
then
we
are
planning
to
do
a
phase
two
project
which
will
be
the
ferris
Road
and
the
crossover
Road.
Those
will
be
anticipated
to
be
done
with
final
plans
later
this
year,
but
we
will
intend
on
requesting
ratification
of
those
actions
at
the
fall
meeting.
Those
will
be
done
in
concert
with
the
actual
headquarter
Improvement
building.
E
E
As
I
mentioned,
the
the
staff
at
McGee
Creek
has
been
doing
a
great
job
at
maintaining
the
facilities,
and
we've
actually
have
very
few
comments
from
the
Bor.
Over
the
last
two
years.
There
were
some
minor
improvements
that
needed
to
be
done
on
the
upper
section
of
the
The
Pump
Station
area.
There
was
some
linking
in
through
a
roof
and
a
curb,
and
then
we
also
have
the
regulating
tank
improvements
and
we're
planning
to.
They
were
rebid
in
March
of
2023
together.
E
The
o37-1
this
is
the
first
component
of
the
McGee
Creek
headquarter,
building
replacement.
We
are
anticipating
having
final
plans
approved
for
this
summer,
with
the
intent
of
requesting
ratifying
the
actions
of
the
general
manager
at
the
fall
meeting.
This
is
a
preliminary
site
layout
in
the
upper
left
hand
corner
you
can
see,
that
is
the
new
equipment
building
that
is
actually
in
place
and
then
in
the
center
is
the
new
headquarter
building
towards
the
lower
part
of
the
page.
E
You'll
see
that
was
the
existing
headquarter
building,
and
this
was
due
to
the
fact
that
the
foundation
problems
and
the
building
life
are
just
no
longer
serviceable,
and
it
was
more
practical
to
move
forward
with
the
new
headquarter
building.
E
This
is
a
very
preliminary
rendering
of
what
the
headquarter
building
will
be.
As
you
can
see,
on
the
back
side,
the
garage
bay
doors-
this
will
also
not
just
be
a
headquarter
building.
It
will
provide
a
shop
area
so
that
the
local
Southeast
water
supply
staff
can
do
maintenance
on
vehicles
at
a
more
efficient
way
than
traveling
up
to
Oklahoma,
City
or
another
area
within
the
city
facilities.
E
Unfortunately,
this
is
one
of
the
areas
that
had
the
biggest
Foundation
problems
was
in
the
residential
part
of
the
building,
and
so
the
staff
person
will
be
able
to
enjoy
this
new
Resident
replacement,
we're
anticipating
that
plans
and
specs
will
be
approved
this
summer,
and
we
intend
to
request
ratifying
those
actions
for
the
general
manager
at
the
fall
meeting.
This
is
a
rendering
of
the
proposed
resonant
replacement.
E
Wmco40
is
the
cathodic
protection
improvements.
These
are
are
much
needed
improvements
we
actually
did
through,
studying
and
and
working
with
the
staff
at
MCA.
We
were
able
to
identify
a
more
efficient
way
of
doing
these
improvements
without
having
to
Do
complete
replacement
of
the
cathodic
equipment.

A
Thank
you,
Mr
long,
the
new
Maintenance
Building
looks
great
down
there.
I
think
we
all
need
to
remember
that
the
present
headquarters
building
was
a
materials
Testing
Lab
constructed
over
40
years
ago,
and
and
so
on,
and
now
has
some
structural
problems
and
such
it's
a
it's
not.
It
hasn't
been
a
great
building
for
a
number
of
years
and.
E
And
there
were
there
were
efforts
in
2012
and
14
to
do
some
Foundation
repairs
and
then
once
the
Cosmetics
were
done
inside,
then
the
settlement
started
to
occur.
If
you'll
recall
it
was
a
temporary
building.
We
found
large
Boulders
underneath
the
foundation,
and
that
has
been
the
the
real
root
of
the
problem
differential
settlement.
Thank
you.
