My

is
Kirsten
Alfonso
I'm,
a
senior

and
I
represent

this

The
wilshire
road
widening
is
really
close
to
being
complete.
The
roads
are
done,
but
they're
still
putting
final
touches
on
the
road
pedestal.
Oil
company
incorporated
proposed
to
drill
for
oil
and
natural
gas
near
Lake
Hefner
on
Thursday
December,
eighteenth
2014.
Several
hundred
residents
went
to
a
meeting
to
hear
what
the
company
proposed
to
do.
The
proposal
would
pay
the
city
trust
a
royalty
rate
of
twenty
one
percent.
C
The
proceeds
will
go
toward
recreational
improvements
at
hefner,
draper
and
overholser
lakes.
Some
residents
worried
about
possible
earthquakes
from
water,
waste
injection
wells
and
spills
from
drilling
operations.
Others
worried
drilling
at
that
site
would
lead
to
future
oil
and
gas
development
affecting
runners
and
cyclists
in
the
area.
Pedestal
oil
company
took
the
residents,
concerns
into
consideration
and
withdrew
their
proposal.
That
concludes
my
report.
Thank
you.

Good
morning
fellow
Oklahoma

my

I
am

An
Oklahoman
reporter
was
asked
a
very
interesting
question
by
the
downtown
okc.
The
question
was
assume
you're
an
investor
and
you
have
a
million
dollars.
Where
would
you
invest
those
million
dollars?
His
answer?
Farmers
market
specifically
class
and
through
Western,
which
is
indeed
Ward?
6,
don't
forget
to
catch
the
ice
skating
rink
that
ends
in
the
beginning
of
februari.
It's
pretty
fun.
M
The
downtown
redesign
committee
continues
to
discuss
the
plans
for
the
blog
499.
It
was
proposed
by
Devin's
developer
Hines,
who
plans
to
use
the
same
architect,
John
Picard,
that
designed
Devin
the
Devon
tower
and
the
Petronas
Towers
of
Malaysia
that
were
featured
in
the
Star
Trek
film,
the
next
generation.
How
awesome
is
that,
however,
there
is
possible
conflict
because
of
the
required
demolition
of
several
buildings,
including
the
Union
bus
station.
The
Historic
Preservation
Committee
thinks
it
should
be
saved.
This
concludes
my
report
forward.
Six,
thank
you
and
have
a
super
awesome
great
day.
Thank.

Thank.
P
Morning,
my
name
is
Courtney
Duquette
and
I'm.
A
senior
at
Putnam,
City,
North,
High,
School
and
I
represent
Ward
8
today,
I'll
be
giving
a
commission
report
the
comprehensive
plan
in
January,
the
water
trust,
will
hear
a
staff
presentation
about
the
Utilities
Department
input
to
the
pending
Oklahoma
City
comprehensive
plan
of
plant.
Okay,
see
the
lead
organization
for
plan.
Okay,
see
is
the
planning
department.
The
input
to
the
plan
will
explain
where
it
is
easiest
to
provide
water
or
wastewater
service
where
it
as
hard
as
to
provide
service
the
budget.
P
This
is
the
time
of
the
year.
The
Utilities
Department
starts
preparing
the
annual
operating
budget
for
water
they're,
looking
at
the
cost
of
things
and
whether
they
are
in
the
alternative
ways
to
save
money.
The
water
quality
division
is
responsible
for
pumping
water
here
from
lakes
in
southeast
part
of
the
state
to
like
Stanley
Draper,
treating
our
drinking
water
and
pumping
treated
water
to
customers.
In
short,
they
is
a
great
amount
of
power
over
eight
million
dollars
worth
year.
P
We
used
the
industrial
version
of
smart
hours
of
summertime,
an
estimate
that
they
that
last
year,
we
saved
around
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
on
pumping
costs
in
the
in
that
cooler
than
normal
summer.
We
were
also
able
to
keep
Lake
Stanley
Draper
fairly
full,
while
making
those
savings.
The
operations
team
is
not
expecting
to
save
as
much
money
on
power
that
this
year,
though,
because
we
are
expecting
a
normal
two
hot
summer.
This
concludes
my
commission
report.
Q
Hello
I'm
Sabrina
Chaudhary
from
your
creek
high
school
with
the
ward

report.
Road
construction
continues
to
take
the

seat
in

With
the
start
of
the

The
long-term

swings
with
the

of
winding
down
very
soon
in
the
near
future.
In
the
business
arena,
commercial
and
residential
apartments
are
proposed
in
the
