A
A
Well,
for
40
years,
the
mayor's
committee
on
disability
concerns
has
been
helping
us
here
at
City
Hall
deal
with
all
sorts
of
issues,
as
we
continue
to
make
this
city
more
accessible,
and
for
the
past
nine
years
Pam
Henry
has
been
chairing
that
committee
for
us
and
Pam
is
stepping
down
as
the
chair,
and
we
have
decided
you
know
we
can't
just
let
this
day
go
by
without
honoring
her
and
reminding
the
citizens
of
Oklahoma
City.
How

they've
been
represented
by

F
Thank
you.
Sorry
I
would
just
like
to
definitely
thank
this
school
district
of
Putnam
City.
The
Putnam
City
Foundation
is
Caroline
guests
in
the
Rotary
Club
I
do
believe
that
our
district
is
truly
a
beacon
of
light
in
the
state
of
Oklahoma
and
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
think
my
principal
mr.
Lee
Rowland,
who
leads
guides
and
holds
me
accountable
to
being
the
best
teacher
that
I
could
possibly
be
for
our
children.
So
thank
you
very
much
and
thank
you
and.
A
A
A
You
may
know
that
the
Boys
and
Girls
Clubs,
each
Boys
and
Girls
Club,
select
a
youth
of
the
year
and
Jessica
was
that
youth
of
the
year
2013
from
our
local
club,
and
then
she
was
named
the
state
winner
and
just
to
kind
of,
acknowledge
and
explain
and
illustrate
a
little
bit
more
about
Jessica's
story.
We
have
a
videotape
that
will
run
and
let
you
learn
a
little
bit
more
about
her.
H
G
She
didn't
have
a
job
or
anything
and
my
dad
was
in
jail
most
of
the
time,
so
I
knew
DHS
like
they
gave
her
food
stamps
and
they
paid
for
the
section
8
house
and
then
everything
and
that's
how
she
got
her
money
was
from
them,
but
I
thought
most
people
did
that
I
thought
people
just
worked
for
a
luxury
to
socialize,
I
hadn't
really
know
what
working
actually
was
for
when
he
went
to
jail.
I
thought
those
were
vacations.
I
did
not
know
that
was
jail.
G
He
was
going
to,
and
so
I
was
like
he's
going
a
lot
of
vacations.
What
can
I
go
a
lot
of
vacations
but
as
I
got
older
like
about
12,
is
when
I
started
to
realize
that
this
not
everybody
gets
abused
and
not
everybody
like
has
their
mom
with
boyfriends
coming
and
going
all
the
time
that,
having
roaches
mice
maggots,
all
all
that
stuff
that
we
had
not
everybody
else
had
it.
G
H
G
I
H
J
G
H
C
Whereas
it
was
at
this
critical
time
that
wanted
Jessica's
foster
moms
brought
her
to
the
Memorial
Park
Boys
and
Girls
Club,
and
it
was
there
that
Jessica
made
an
incredible
transformation
where,
as
Jessica
developed,
positive
encouraging
relationships
with
staff
and
other
members
of
the
club,
she
found
joy
in
helping
the
club's
chef,
Shea
thirst,
acts
and
meals
to
the
kids
in
the
club,
dining
room
where,
as
Jessica
became
engaged
in
the
Boys
and
Girls
Clubs
writing.
Club.
C
Writing
couplets
for
the
published
book
o
is
for
Oklahoma,
which
includes
photographs
from
award-winning
photographer
David
Fitzgerald
grass
through
club
staff
recommendations,
Jessica
joined
leadership,
Oklahoma
City's
youth
leadership
skills
program
and
was
selected
to
serve
as
a
legislative
page
at
the
Oklahoma
State
Senate.
Whereas,
instead
of
becoming
a
high
school
dropout
statistic,
Jessica
became
dedicated
to
her
studies
at
Metro,
Career,
Academy
and
graduated
at
age
16.
C
And
it
is
evident
that,
just
as
committed
to
the
ideals
of
service
and
as
well
on
her
way
to
reaching
her
potential
now.
Therefore,
Mick
Cornett,
the
mayor
of
the
city
of
Oklahoma
City,
does
hereby
commend
Miss
Jessica
Caldwell
on
her
selection
as
the
Oklahoma
State
Boys
and
Girls
Club
2013
youth
of
the
year.
G
First
I
would
just
like
to
thank
everybody
and
mayor
Mick,
Cornett
Mick
coronet,
for
allowing
me
to
come
here
today
and
I
just
want
to
give
a
special
thanks
to
Miss
Jane
and
mr.
AJ,
because
I
wouldn't
be
here
without
them.
They
encouraged
me
to
just
go
above
and
beyond,
and
not
just
do
what
meets
a
certain
task
to
just
go
above,
and
everything
and
I
know
that
they're
always
there
for
me,
like
I,
can
always
count
on
them.
So
thank
you.
K
Thank
You
mayor
I
would
just
like
to
say
this.
Mayor
I've
had
the
pleasure
of
meeting
some
some
very
successful
professional
athletes
and
very
successful
businesspeople,
but
I'm
not
as
impressed
with
them,
as
I
am
with
Jessica,
having
learned
about
her
life
and
also
I
learned
this
morning.
Her
goal
is
to
become
president
in
the
United
States
and
I
want
to
be
the
first
one
to
get
in
her
campaign,
because
I
know
she'll
do
a
great
job
with
that
as
well.
Thank
you.

Thank

your

This
is
just
a
comment.
These
is
a
there's.
A
series
of
projects
here
that
cleans
up
some
of
the
monies
from
the
old
bond
issues
puts
us
back
to
work,
and
my
question
was:
will
this
finish
up
the
bond
issues
that
we've
referenced
in
here
or
is
there
as
far
as
there's
still
some
dollars
in
it?
We
won?
We
took
three
cents
out
of
and
I
wonder
how
long
it
took
how
much
it
costs
us
to
maintain
that
3
cent
ledger.
L
Dollars
have
been
put
back
into
the
account
space
based
upon
that.
We
have
been
very
intentional
over
the
last
few
months
to
close
out
a
number
of
the
older
accounts
that
are
out
there.
For
the
year
correct.
There
were
small
amounts
hanging
and
Creager
or
docutel.
So
exactly
what
we've
got
I
know
we're
very
intentional,
though,
about
getting
those
cleaned
out
at
work
is.
M
Right,
Edie
just
want
to
ask
Brent
some
questions
about
TIF
and
these
three
projects,
which
is
about
12
million
dollars
worth
of
awards,
and
really
the
idea
of
how
we
decide
whether
to
give
loans
or
grants
or
and
and
how
that
formula
all
works
out,
and
just
just
my
understanding
is
that
this,
if
would
allow
investments
or
incentives
within
an
area
between
North
13th
and
South,
25th,
Western
and
I
to
35,
yes,
sir,
and
of
that
we've
collected,
we
have
a.
We
have
a
budgeted
about
93
million
dollars
and
we
have
about
seventy
eight
point.
M
O
Sir,
the
fundamentals
of
TIF
as
we
went
in
and
I
did
in
2000
identified
an
area
at
that
time.
We,
the
county,
assessors
identified
all
of
the
the
appropriate
properties
and
they
created
what
they
call
the
base
and
then,
as
time
has
passed
as
investment
has
incurred
within
TIF
district
number,
two
property
values
have
grown
which
generates
the
increment
to
the
TIF
district.
When
we,
when
developers
come
to
see
us
about
investment,
they
about
a
TIF
investment
to
their
project,
we
have
a
process
which
we
go
through.
O
We
have
a
TIF
advisory
panel
that
that's
comprised
of
myself,
Kathy
O'connor,
the
planning
staff
Joe
van
Bullard,
our
attorneys.
We
have
a
city
engineer,
that's
involved!
Also.
We
go
through
that
and
we
analyze
the
project
from
a
planning
perspective,
analyzed
the
project
from
a
engineering
perspective
when
and
we
look
at
it
from
a
financial
perspective
and
what
we
try
to
do
there
is
we
looked
and
see
if
there's
a
real
financial
gap
to
fill
that,
and
we
utilize
to
have
to
do
that.
O
M
So
we've
used
it
to
do
incentivize
housing
and
help
get
those
deals
done.
The
forestry
departments
level
edge
level
West
building
district
bought
land
in
the
quarter,
Shore
area,
yes
of
the
78
million.
How
much
has
been
spent
north
of
the
river
in
the
13
blocks
north
of
the
river
and
how
much
in
the
25
blocks
south
of
the
river.
O
Sir,
but
we
have
we've
had
other
projects
that
have
occurred
in
there
to
actually
TIF
district
number
six.
We
had
a
project
down
there,
mm-hmm
that
was
south
of
the
river
we've
been
working
with
o-triple-c
to
have
a
facility
down
in
the
Capitol
Hill
area
that
projects
been
put
on
hold
by
that
their
request.
But
this
council
has
allocated
funds
for
that,
but
we're
waiting
on
them
other
than
that
I
cannot
think
of
any
that's
the
only
one.
So.
M
How
do
we
so
looking
at
these
projects
and
the
one
I
guess
the
one
that
troubles
me
the
most?
Maybe
is
the
21c
Hotel.
We've
we've
heard
a
lot
about
this
redevelopment
of
this
property.
It's
a
fifty
two
million
dollar
property.
We
don't
really
hear
in
the
media
that
26
million
of
the
52
million
is
tax
incentives
and
tax
dollars,
state
and
federal
historic
tax
credits,
and
then
today,
5.3
million
dollars
in
TIF
funds.
M
O
Million
is
in
the
form
of
a
grant
that
will
be
provided
after
they
have
completed
the
project.
Three
point:
three
is
in
the
form
of
a
loan
which
will
come
with
a
mortgage
on
the
property,
along
with
the
personal
guarantee
on
the
property
or
a
guarantee
on
the
property,
and
so
we're
providing
that
it's
a
20-year
note
with
the
first
seven
years
being
interest-only,
and
then
the
last
13
will
be
paid
out
over
a
13,
Grammer's,
ation
and.
O
M
M
O
M
Okay,
well
I
guess
I
would
I
would
just
ask
that
we
look
at
this
in
earnest.
What
are
what
is
the
at
interest-free
loans
and
trying
to
recycle
the
money
and
and
and
try
and
figure
out
if
we
can
still
get
people
within
these
returns
and
recycle
the
money
for
additional
projects
and
then
just
as
a
final
course,
I
mean
there.
There
are
those
on
South
25th
that
have
been
working
for
years
to
try
and
find
financing
for,
like
a
public
plaza
on
25th
and
Robinson
I
mean.
M
N
All
right
make
one
comment:
your
up
as
chairman
of
EECOM
express.
We
look
at
these
things
very
carefully
now.
I
would
I
would
like
to
comment
that
Brent
makes
a
very
detailed
analysis
of
the
financings
that
we
are
involved
in
and
there's
always
a
but
for
loss
feet,
but
for
the
TIF
money
the
project
wouldn't
go,
but
for
the
the
low
interest
loans,
the
project
wouldn't
go
and-
and
he
makes
a
really
thorough
analysis
and
he
doesn't
awful
lot
to
protect
the
integrity
of
the
city's
funds
as
he
goes.
N
40
projects
I
think
he
you
got
to
come
to
some
of
our
meeting
sometime
and
listen
to
the
analysis
he
makes
or
have
him
explain
the
analysis
you
make
some
these
projects
to
you,
because
they're,
very
detailed,
very
thorough
and
and
there's
a
a
great
interest,
keeping
money
to
the
city
puts
up
safe
and
a
good
investor.
So
I,
just
it's
not
just
a
casual
whether
they
want
money
so
we'll
give
it
to
them
kind
of
thing.
There
is
a
thorough
analysis
done
before
he.
A
A
P
P
It
doesn't
exist
because,
as
I
was
reading,
the
memo
the
problem
is,
is
that
these
properties
are
being
used
in
a
way
that
they're
being
used
for
as
much
retail
as
we
would
like
them
to
be
used
for,
even
though
they're
not
bei-
and
you
know,
I
would
totally
think
that
this
was
a
good
idea.
If
say,
Park
Avenue
was
vacant,
you
know
vastly
vacant,
but
it's
not
and
it
seems
like
it's
going
in
the
right
directions.
It
seems
like
it's
going.
You
know.
P
I
know
that
Park
Avenue
is
part
of
project
180,
there's
a
lot
of
public
improvements
that
are
planned
and
have
already
been
done,
and
so
I
think
that's
I'm.
You
know
it's.
It's
only
we're
only
talking
about
forty
thousand
dollars
that
the
that
well,
forty
thousand,
that
the
Economic
Development
Trust
is
is
putting
up
and
so
for
other
forty
thousands
from
other
entities.
P
So
it's
not
a
huge
budget
deal.
It's
just
kind
of
the
concept
of
it.
Yeah
I
mean
there
was
a
line
in
the
in
the
memo
said
that
we're
losing
an
enormous
and
it's
an
enormous
lost
opportunity
for
sales
tax
generation,
and
it
just
seems
odd
that
that's
where
were
that?
That's
where
we're
focusing,
whereas
it
seems
like
we
should
be
focusing
on
helping
promote
the
economy
in
the
economic
development,
trust
which
I
think
Clark
Avenue
right
now
is
going
in
that
right
direction.
P
L
My
thoughts,
James
I,
had
some
of
those
same
concerns
actually
and
the
plane
staff
came
in
and
met
with
me
and
really
suggested
that
there
is
the
key
to
downtown
retail
just
having
a
plan
and
making
sure
we
maximize
that,
because
it's
such
a
key
to
a
couple
blocks
in
the
downtown
area
and
and
to
get.
If
you
get
that
right,
you
know,
it'll
go
on
from
there.
L
Coming
up
with
good
sound
planning
decisions
for
those
building
owners
to
help
them
maximize
that
I
think
is
the
goal
is
to
come
down,
and
and
what
can
we
really
do
because
it
is?
It
is
such
a
a
critical
piece
of
our
downtown
of
our
central
downtown
business
district,
and
if
we,
if
we
do
that
right
than
the
rest
of
the
rest
of
them,
will
follow
suit
right.
M
L
K
L
K
May
just
add
a
comment:
I'm
interested
to
see
what
this
study
is
going
to
say
because
I
have
some
personal
opinions
that
it's
going
to
be
challenging,
I,
think
to
re-energize
retail
sales
in
the
core
part
of
downtown
I
hope
we're
successful
in
that
regard.
Many
major
cities
have
a
very
strong
retail
facility
in
the
core
I'm,
not
so
sure
that
we're
going
to
see
more
retail
developed,
say
on
the
edges
out
west.
K
K
M
Q
One
of
the
things
that
really
makes
this
study
key
right
now
is
we.
We
do
have
some
retail
on
Park
Avenue
part
of
the
problem
with
it
is
that
none
of
it
talks
to
the
street.
None
of
it
talks
to
the
sidewalk
it's,
for
example,
any
of
the
retail
spaces
that
are
in
leadership
Square.
You
know
you
cannot
get
to
them
from
Park
Avenue.
You
have
to
go
inside
Leadership
Square,
and
that
is
the
same
way
with
first
national,
any
of
the
retail
that
fronts
on
that
block.
Q
You
have
to
go
in
inside
there
same
with
the
Oklahoma
towers
same
with
Robinson,
Renaissance
and
I.
Think
a
key
component
to
this
study
is
is
that
it's
going
to
be
looking
at
not
just
what
retail
businesses
should
go,
they're,
not
just
about
what
the
businesses
should
be
and
what
the
mix
should
be,
but
what
the
overall
you
should
be
and
how
that
should
relate
to
the
street,
and
you
know,
make
it
more
convenient
for
people
to
to
shop,
and
so
I
think
that
the
study
is
not
premature
at
this
point.
Q
I
think
that
you,
it's
also
designed
with
some
things
that
do
casey,
is
interested
in
in
terms
of
connecting
that
retail
to
Broadway
and
then
looking
further
west.
That
gives
us
an
opportunity
to
do
this
piece
in
the
core
and
then
add
on,
if
you
will,
with
some
of
the
things
that
we
want
to
look
at
in
terms
of
retail
development,
downtown
have.
Q
Q
One
example
is
what
the
Oklahoman
is
planning
to
do
in
the
off
of
Maine,
that
they're
going
to
put
that
store
front
to
make
it
transparent
and
interesting
to
pedestrians,
kay
LSU
and
those
types
of
things
that
are
on
dead
center.
So,
while
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
attract
the
opportunities
for
people
to
shop
and
spend
money
and
generate
sales
tax,
that's
going
to
be
interspersed
with
things
that
activate
and
make
the
streets
seem
lively,
I,.
K
Q
It
is,
and
that
would
that
it's
such
an
evolutionary
thing,
councilman
Green
well,
as
you
know,
and
it
took
a
long
time
for
that
critical
mass
of
retail
to
develop
along
that
way,
that
retail
came
and
went
and
lost,
and
you
know
try
different
things
and,
and
so
it
was
putting
together
a
plan
and
being
able
to
administer
the
plan
effectively
by
Sundance
Corporation.
That
really
resulted
in
the
longevity
of
the
retail.
That's
there
now.
K
K
P
Q
Is
a
consulting
company?
You
know
the
the
management
company
for
downtown
Fort
Worth.
Is
they
have
an
organization
similar
to
downtown
OKC,
but
within
the
downtown?
They
also
have
something
that's
similar
to
a
like
a
mall
property
management
company
that
did
that
internally
within
within
Sundance.
It's
a
little
bit
different.
Okay,.
A
Anything
else
on
the
concurrent.
Stop
all
right
cast
your
votes.
It
passed
unanimously
we're
on
item
eight.
These
are
items
that
require
a
separate
vote
item.
Eight
eight
one
has
been
deferred
for
two
weeks:
the
new
date
there
is
February
25th
item.
8A
B
is
a
planning
opportunity
in
Ward
8.
The
address
is
eight
three
zero
one
West
Memorial
Road,
it's
currently
Double
A
agricultural.
It
would
become
a
new
plan
unit
development,
Pat.
Thank.
N
You,
your
honor,
the
council,
probably
recognized
this
project
is
when
we
talked
about
several
weeks
ago
in
terms
of
the
retail
I
mean
the
residential
area
to
the
north.
Of
this,
this
plan
went
through
the
Planning.
Commission
was
excuse,
me
unanimous,
recommended
for
approval.
What's
anybody
sign
up
to
talk
about
this
one?
No
okay,
we
had
there
were
no
protesters
at
the
Planning
Commission,
either
and
Bob.
They
greet
all
the
T
changes
that
were
made.
A
A
K
Francis
is
anyone
here,
just
fine,
oh
okay.
Mr.
box,
would
you
mind
coming
up
here
with
the
renderings
that
you
have
I
would
like
to
just
point
out
a
couple
of
items.
This
area
was
previously
zoned
as
multi-family
housing,
and
what
this
new
request
is
is
to
actually
downsize
or
reduce
the
density,
but
still
maintain
the
multifamily
unit
and
I.
Think
it's
really
going
to
be
an
enhancement
to
this
part
of
Oklahoma
City.
K
You
know
I'm
a
big
fan
of
well
undeveloped
areas,
there's
a
lot
of
trees
and
shrubs
and
and
a
couple
of
very
nice
small
likes
in
the
area.
It'd
be
nice
to
retain
them,
but
when
you
drive
by
them
currently
you
really
can't
see
them
the
area's
been
overgrown,
not
taking
what
care
of,
and
this
is
really
going
to
enhance.
So
could
you
just
give
us
a
little
bit
of
a
brief,
a
preview
of
the
development?
Absolutely.
S
David
box,
five
to
two
Colcord
drive.
As
the
the
councilman
said.
This
is
a
it's
really
unique
that
you
have
a
developer
come
in.
That
has
some
existing
zoning
that
would
allow
somewhere
around
700
units
and
rather
than
find
a
way
to
fit
their
development
into
those
700
units
and
maximize
that
they
saw
a
unique
opportunity
with
three
large
lakes
and
they
have
a
product
that
they
do
on
a
national
scale.
S
That
has
been
very
successful
that
they
are
so
committed
to
that
they
were
willing
to
shed
400
plus
units
and
density
to
make
sure
they
have
the
product
that
they
want.
So
here's
what
they're
going
to
be
able
to
do.
There's
a
series
of
buildings
that
they're
gonna
be
able
to
utilize
the
lakes
that
are
there
and
turn
them
into
a
nice
amenity
for
their
residents
and
a
nice
common
space.
S
S
You
have
a
nice
and
interesting
design
to
make
it
something
that
will
be
a
long,
lasting
a
benefit
to
the
area,
as
councilman
said
so
we
tried
to
meet
with
the
neighbors
multiple
times
and
after
we
kind
of
explained
to
the
neighbors
what
the
zoning
was
that
was
already
there
I
think
that
they
realized
that
this
was
probably
a
good
opportunity
for
this
developer
to
come
in
and
and
decrease
a
lot
of
that
density.
Correct.
K
T
Hello,
so
a
portion
of
that
third
Lake
to
the
west,
that's
still
open
for
their
use,
great,
but
other
than
that
we
have
a
gated
community,
I,
think
the
current
property
owner
he
had
told
them
at
some
point.
They
could
walk
around
the
lakes,
but
our
Springs
development
is
one
where
we
basically
for
security.
We
have
a
gated
access,
so
we'll
fence
our
site.
They'll
still
have
access
to
that
that
1.3
acre
to
Lake
furthest
to
the
east,
great
okay,.
A
Right,
we
have
a
motion
in
a
second
we're
about
to
vote
on
item
8a
for
any
other
comments
or
questions
all
right
cast
your
votes
and
it
passes
unanimously.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
item.
8B
is
a
series
of
closing
requests
and
for
alleys
and
street
ways.
Item
8b
one
is
in
Ward
7
and
it's
near
one,
three,
seven
one:
seven
Plymouth
Crossing
John,
you,
okay
with
this.
Yes.
U
F
A
A
Yes,
okay,
we
have
a
motion
on
item.
8B2
cast
your
votes.
It
passed
unanimously.
Item
8b3
has
been
stricken
item.
8C
is
a
public
hearing
regarding
the
new
building
codes
that
were
introduced
at
Council
at
our
last
meeting.
Is
there
anyone
here
hoping
to
speak
today
at
the
public
hearing
on
item
8c
all
right
looks
like
a
ready
to
move
this
one
forward.
Is
there
a
motion?
I.
P
Have
we
gotten
any
feedback
from
the
school
districts
within
you
know
within
the
city
limits
about
how
their
feelings
are
about
this
or
any
feedback
from
private
schools
about
us
mandating
safe
rooms
for
new
buildings
that
we
had
I
know,
I
haven't
gotten
any
feedback,
I
really
I
feel
like
it
would
be.
I
feel
much
more
comfortable
with
this
whole
thing.
If,
if
the,
if
we
had
some
school
board,
support-
or
you
know,
I,
don't
know
the.
P
You
know
the
statement
that
the
building
code
Commission
made
is
that
I
agree
a
lot
with
their
sentiment
that
it
should.
This
is
really
the
responsibility
of
the
school
board,
not
necessarily
the
responsibility
of
the
city
and
the
administration's
of
whoever
is
governing
the
private
private
schools.
So
that's
why
I
kind
of
feel
like
it
needs
dead,
I,
don't
know,
I,
think
yeah.
A
I
get
hit
several
we're
going
school
board
presidents
last
summer
and
told
him
where
we
were
headed
with
direction
at
that
time.
All
of
them
agreed
that
safe
rooms
needed
to
be
in
new
construction,
and
it
was
kind
of
verbally
their
plan
going
forward
whether
or
not
they
would
prefer
government
oversight
on
that.
I
wouldn't
necessarily
know
why.
But
what
I
don't
want
to
see
is
a
patchwork
of
schools
where
you
have
kids
in
in
some
facilities
that
are
safer
than
other
kids.
A
That's
what
we
got
today-
and
you
know
this
at
least
starts
to
address
it,
if
not
tomorrow,
at
least
down
the
line.
It'll
it'll
start
a
kind
of
a
I
think
a
new
strategy
and
a
new
day,
and
and
just
it
reflects
I
think
on
what
is
a
a
higher
expectation
of
safety
for
kids
in
schools
that
didn't
exist
when
the
schools
were
currently
built
and.
P
I
think
I
think
the
thing
that
kind
of
puts
up
some
red
flags
for
me
is
that
we're
making
a
mandate
of
something
that
somebody
else
is
gonna
have
to
pay
for
and
that
there
could
be
some
exception,
because
I
think
that
you
know
a
vast
majority
of
people
agree
that
new
schools
should
have
a
safe
room.
I
think
that
probably
most
new
office
complexes
should
have
a
safe
room.
I
think
you
know
I
think
the
most
people
would
agree
with
those
statements,
but
it
it's
just
a
matter
of
where
that
is
is
mandated
and.
P
So
that's
that
and
I'm
I
think
I'm
my
main
concern
is
from
a
lot
of
the
private
schools,
especially
some
of
the
smaller
private
schools
that
might
not
have
might
not
have
the
the
funding
or
you
know.
I
brought
up
some
questions
last
time
about
what,
if
somebody
just
adds
on
a
new
wing
to
their
or
adds
a
new,
you
know
a
big
chunk
of
of
something
to
their
school.
Does
it
apply?
To
that?
Does
it
apply
it?
You
know,
and
so
that's
those
are
my
concerns.
P
I
mean,
I
think
that
you
know
within
the
blank
building
code
commission,
they
said
that
we
agree
that
new
buildings
should
have
safe
rooms,
but
the
really
the
responsibility
for
that
is
with
the
school
board
and
I
certainly
can't
disagree
with
that.
So
that's,
but
those
are
my
thoughts
on
it
and
so
I
wanted
to
bring
it
up
now
and
said
next
time,
because
we're
gonna
be
voting
for
it
and
just
to
try
and
get
a
little
bit
more
input
and
positive
or
negative
from
from
the
well.
K
Your
honor
and
James
I
agree
with
your
concern
about
this
body,
setting
a
mandate
for
public
school
well
any
school
within
the
boundaries
of
local
in
the
city,
but
I
think
the
safety
of
the
children
overrides
that
concern
about
us
overstepping.
You
know
a
certain
level
of
control
over
building
and,
secondly,
I
think
with
respect
to
new
construction.
The
additional
cost
is
not
all
that
significant
to
the
total
cost
of
the
facility
and
I
can't
give
you
dollar
amounts.
But
I
can
give
you
an
example,
for
instance,
with
respect
to
residential
housing.
K
You
can
have
a
safe
room
added.
You
know
where
they
come
in
and
and
dig
out
the
area
in
your
driveway
for
as
little
as
2,500.
If
you
have
it
built
at
the
time
of
construction
that
can
drop
as
low
as
1500
or
less
so,
there
would
be
significant
savings
to
include
that,
but
perhaps
we
could
even
have
like
Chiefs
all
your
out.
There
talk
since
she's
responsible
for
the
review
of
the
safety
programs
and
in
schools.
The
importance
of
something
like
this.
L
M
A
Well,
it
comes
down
to
how
far
you
want
to
make
the
time
line.
If
you
make
it
a
hundred
years,
you
see
that
there
is
no
distinct
pattern
across
the
state
of
Oklahoma,
but
if
you
compress
it
to
the
last
fifteen
or
twenty,
there
definitely
is
a
a
compressed
area
in
South
Oklahoma
City
and
more
so
you
know
you
can
draw
your
own
conclusions,
but
that's
what
the
data
would
would
provide
for
you.
V
Where
I
have
one
comment,
the
to
look
at
safe
rooms
as
a
as
a
unfunded
mandate,
you
could
look
at
the
entire
building
code
as
an
unfunded
mandate.
I
mean
it
has
progressed
over
time
to
based
on
safety
so,
and
we
don't
pay
for
that.
We
just
say
if
you're
gonna
build
a
building
in
Oklahoma
City
you've
got
to
have
it
wired
a
certain
way.
You
have
to
do
certain
kinds
of
material.
This
is
really
just
an
extension
of
that
this
is.
V
P
V
I
guess
I
would
say
that
we
ought
to
be
vigilant
about
it,
but
I
don't
see
this
is
that
because
we
met
for
some
time
and
looked
at
what
the
mayor
talked
about
about
the
patterns
about
the
cost
of
retrofitting,
about
the
likelihood
of
an
occurrence
at
any
particular
place
and
the
cost
of
doing
that,
which
would
have
been
my
opinion
and
overstepped
an
overstepping
of
our
bar
ability
to
mandate.
We
didn't
include
any
of
that
in
our
recommendation
and
so
I
think
this
is
where
it
kind
of
fits.
V
What
what
that
study
produced
is
that
in
future,
that's
probably
a
good
idea,
because
the
cheaper
to
do
it
when
you
build,
as
opposed
to
retrofitting
but
and
I,
think
we're
just
becoming
more
and
more
aware
what
safety
is
all
about
this
code,
just
amended
I,
don't
know
the
Chiefs
back
there,
but
but
I'm,
not
but
its
amended
every
year
or
two
seems
like
whatever
a
few
years
were
changing
something
in
it
and
we're
certainly
making
making
it
more
expensive
to
build.
Usually
where.
V
I
mean
it's
frequent:
it's
not
like
it's
been
stagnant
for
75
years.
It's
frequent
changes
and
most
of
the
changes
at
least
all
that
I
can
recall,
have
to
do
with
making
them
safer,
making
use
it
a
different
kind
of
insulation
or
kind
of
wood
or
not
use
it.
Certain
I
did
see
it
as
part
of
the
process.
I
do
think
Wow
to
be
vigilant
that
we're
not
doing
things
that
we
we
ourselves
complain
about
when
we
get
have
mandates
that
the
money
doesn't
come
for,
but
I'm
not
sure
this
is
in
that
area.
V
N
E
A
A
W
North
baths
in
the
what
I
want
to
do
is
restrict
my
comments
to
D
1
and
D
2,
and
not
D
3,
which
is
the
scheduled
fees.
The
D
1
is
just
the
resolution
and
D
2
is
the
ordinance
and
what
I
propose
to
do
is
address
the
proposed
amendments
to
the
ordinances,
with
the
reasons
why
I
think
they
should
not
be
amended.
In
other
words,
we
have
the
2009
international
fire
code
and
the
city
proposes
to
make
certain
amendments
to
the
2009
code.
Right
now
we're
under
the
2003
code.
W
W
Comments
that
I
want
to
make
and
ask
for
you
to
reconsider,
but
before
I
do
that.
Let
me
just
give
you
a
very
brief
background
about
Duras
Berg
and
its
role
in
the
community
and
then
I'm
gonna
I'm,
going
to
defer
other
comments
to
our
neighbor
standard
metals.
Who
will
who's
also
signed
up
so
first
of
all,
during
property
is
owned.
W
Heavy
industrial
district,
I
3,
which
is
intended
to
provide
locations
for
those
industrial
uses
that
may
generate
relatively
high
levels
of
noise
vibration,
smoke,
dust,
odor
or
light
these
industrial
uses
are
incompatible
with
residential
uses.
One
of
the
problems
that
we
have
is
is
that
Oklahoma
City
residential
areas
are,
thankfully
growing
toward
and
a
more
vibrant
part
of
our
community,
but
there
right
next
to
this
a3
industrial
zone.
W
We
purchase
metals
from
a
variety
of
sources
and
a
large
percentage
of
what
we
purchase
has
already
been
crushed.
Some
of
the
regulations
that
I'm
going
to
address
very
briefly
here
it
creates
this
problem.
We
get
a
car
from
the
salvage
yard,
that's
been
crushed,
we
can't
uncrushed,
we
can't
go
in
there
and
find
the
mercury,
although
we
do
a
real
good
job.
We've
never
had
a
complaint
with
mercury,
which
is
in
here
airbags.
W
We
can't
go
in
and
uncrushed
the
car
and
find
the
airbag
and
remove
those
big
percentage
of
our
business
comes
from
that.
What
we
do
require
each
of
these
salvage
yards
that
sell
us
crush
cars
is
they
have
to
certify
that
they
have
gone
through
that
car
and
taken
everything
out
of
there?
That
would
be
otherwise.
We
have
violation,
including
what
you
all
believe
should
be
the
amendments
to
the
2009
code.
That's
just
a
practical
problem
that
we
have
now.
Let
me
also
point
out
to
you
that
darish
Berg
has
an
ongoing
contract.
W
This
has
to
do
with
noise
and
I
know
that's
going
to
come
up
soon.
Duras
Berg
has
an
ongoing
contract
with
biotech
Corporation,
which
is
located
on
South
I-35
in
Oklahoma.
City
biotechs
job
is
to
perform
noise
level
monitoring
at
the
darish
Berg
facility
to
determine
the
ambient
noise
levels
along
the
north
side
of
the
shredder.
So
you
got
the
shredder,
we
got
the
north
side
of
the
shredder,
we
got
the
railroad
tracks
and
then
further
on
north
Matt,
we've
got
the
residences.
W
The
long-term
noise
assessment
monitoring
is
performed
to
make
sure
that
the
noise
levels
fall
within
the
predetermined
maximum,
as
defined
by
OSHA
attached
and
I.
Can
I
can
send
you
all
each
of
you
a
copy
of
this
memorandum,
because
it's
got
exhibits
to
it.
So,
but
I'm
saying
in
here
attached
is
a
copy
of
the
November
11
2013
biotech
results
which
indicates
that
the
noise
levels
are
below
the.
This
is
technical
to
me.
85
decibel
action
level
outlined
in
the
Code
of
Federal
Regulations
29
CFR
1910.
W
So
my
point
is:
is
that
we
independently
are
doing
everything
we
can
to
make
sure
that
our
noise
levels
fall
within
the
osha
regulations
and
they
do
we're.
Okay,
with
that,
according
to
the
Code
of
Federal
Regulations
and
OSHA,
we're
not
violating
noise
level
requirements.
We
also
built
the
35
foot
high,
sound
and
sight
buffer
on
the
north
side.
If
you
drive
by
there,
you
can
see
a
real
large,
huge,
solid
I'll
call
it
a
fence,
but
it's
a
big
bunch
of
containers
that
we've
stacked
on
top
of
each
other.
W
In
this
that
separate
us
even
better
from
the
residents
and
also
keep
in
mind
that
we
have
the
lease.
Is
our
neighbor?
We've
got
a
big
ass
plant.
That's
our
neighbor!
These
guys
do
the
same.
These
guys
build
asphalt
that
they
create
smoke,
but
anyway,
it's
not
just
us
now.
Let
me
just
finish
by
telling
you
this.
When
I
first
read
this
a
couple
of
weeks
ago,
we
submitted
our
law
firm,
submitted
a
three
separate
open
records
request
two
weeks
ago
to
Oda,
and
we
got
the
documents
February.
The
6th.
W
The
records
revealed
that
the
darish
burg
facility
had
two
series
of
alleged
complaints
and
one
Notice
of
Violation
issued
by
Oh
Dec
in
the
past
five
and
a
half
years,
the
Notice
of
Violation.
That's
the
one
was
a
result
of
a
complaint
activity
occurring:
May
15,
2008
and
May
30th
2008
alleging
excess,
visible
emissions.
The
Notice
of
Violation
was
issued
by
Oh
Dec
on
July
28
2008.
In
response
to
the
notice,
darish
burg
submitted
a
corrective
action
plan.
After
investigation
Oh
Dec
issued
a
closure
letter
finding
that
the
compliance
measures
implemented
appeared
to
be
successful.
W
Next,
the
city
of
Oklahoma
City
action
center
forwarded
constituents,
complaints
to
Oh
Dec
on
December,
30th
2011,
just
three
two
and
a
half
years
ago,
January
5th
2011
and
October
28th
2011.
Those
are
the
three
Oklahoma
City
action
center
complaints
that
were
forwarded
as
they
got.
This
is
the
ones
that
they
know
about
the
ones
that
the
city
knows
about
all
were
in
2011.
W
The
series
of
complaints
allege
that
the
facility
was
not
removing
fluids
before
crushing
causing
explosions
and
not
operating
in
accordance
regulations.
Oh
Dec
investigated
the
series
of
complaints,
On
January
30
2011
and
October
31
2011
Oh
Dex
found
no
Oh
Dec
violations
and
complained.
'let
closure
letters
were
issued
accordingly.
Now
here's
the
sections
that
I'm
asking
the
City
Council
to
take.
So
what
we
have
is
the
2009
Dave.
W
Got
I'll
make
it
a
minute:
okay,
great,
okay,
okay!
Well,
we!
What
we're
talking
about
is
105
point
six
point,
four
five
point
one,
and
it's
in
the
actual:
that's
the
ordinance.
Here's
what
you
want
to
do
you
want
to
remove
your
bags
and,
like
I,
was
saying
air
bag.
Removal
will
not
contribute
to
public
safety
and
I
already
told
you
about
some
of
the
other
problems
we
have
under
subparagraph.
Five
of
this
subsection.
W
You
have
us
making
two
requirements,
one
you
you
make
a
report
to
the
fire
department
and
the
other
is
to
a
fire
code.
Official
I
ask
you
just
make
us
have
one
report:
if
there's
a
affairs
and
occurrence,
don't
tell
us
to
make
two
reports,
one
of
the
fire
department,
once
the
fire
code
simplified
for
us
and
also
tell
us
how
you
want
it
to
be
done.
That's
a
real,
simple
thing
and
I
said
specify
the
reporting
method.
You
want
us
to
call.
You
want
us
to
write.
W
W
We
researched
this
very
briefly
and
found
that
Mission,
Hills
or
Shawnee
Mission
Hills,
outside
of
Kansas
City,
Austin
and
San
Antonio,
do
have
a
hours
of
operation
amendment,
but
there's
has
to
do
with
the
fact
that
they're
wanting
to
regulate
explosed,
detonations
explosions,
like
like
a
dynamite
things
like
that
and
the
other
one
had
to
do
with
regulating
a
firework.
So
you
can't
shoot
off
fireworks
at
these
real
odd
hours.
W
The
only
other
one
I
really
want
to
address
is
there's
an
appeals
procedure
in
the
2009
code.
Okay,
the
appeals
procedure
says
that
the
fire
code
official
will
act.
They
set
up
a
board
a
pellet
board,
so
the
fire
code
official
that
is
going
to
go
in
and
cite
us
for
violation
of
an
ordinance
will
sit
as
an
ex-officio
member
of
the
appellate
board.
W
That's
a
huge
difference
between
what
the
International
Fire
Code
says
that
we
should
have,
which
is
in
the
appellate
ward,
in
which
the
enforcer
sits
as
an
ex
officio
member,
and
what
you've
suggested
is
that
you
get
rid
of
the
appellate
board
and
have
that
in
for
sure,
prosecutor
decider
he's
going
to
decide
his
own
decision.
We
think
that
you
should
delete
that
and
go
back
to
having
the
same
appellate
review
process
at
the
2009
international.
X

The
scrap
industry
employs
four
hundred
sixty
thousand
adults
in

It

In

recycled
more
than
55
million
metric
tons
of
ferrous
scrap
enough
to
build
25
ival
towers
on
a
daily
basis.
X
We're
the
largest
exporter
of
ferrous
scrap
in
the
world.
By
using
ferrous
scrap
rather
than
virgin
material
co2
emissions
are
reduced
by
58%

95

Ninety
percent
still
can
71
percent
structural
steel,
98
percent
reinforcement,
steel,
70
percent,
with
this
information
in
mind,
we'd
like
to
request
that,
prior
to
passing
a
new
ordinance
that
you
allow
us
to
work
collaboratively
with
you
on
an
ordinance
that
works
for
both
parties.
X
There
are
a
number
of
structures
and
businesses
located
between
our
companies
in
the
residential
neighborhood,
including
large
piles
of
dirt
and
sand,
as
well
as
five
railroad
tracks,
there's
an
additional
track,
which
runs
directly
through
the
neighborhood
cremated,
creating
tremendous
noise
and
vibrations
in
terms
of
reports
of
the
booms
from
from
our
shredders
as
they've
been
referred
to.
We
have
five
structures
on
our
18
acre
facility,
some
of
which
are
original
and
some
of
which
were
built
in
later
years
to
the
best
of
our
knowledge.
X
None
have
ever
sustained
any
damage
as
a
result
of
these
noises
or
vibrations.
I
have
driven
the
area
a
number
of
times
it
did
so
again.
Yesterday,
both
shredders
were
in
full
operation.
The
noise
from
the
equipment
was
barely
audible
in
the
residential
neighborhood.
There
was
no
soot
or
goop,
as
the
terms
have
been
used
being
emitted
from
either
machine
or,
as
previously
reported
by
others,
and
based
on
the
information
presented
by
mr.
Parr.
AA
Y
Y
There's
smoke,
we
don't
know
what
long-term
effects
that
might
have
on
our
health,
but
we
are
believe
that
we
certainly
don't
want
to
put
anybody
out
of
business.
We
don't
already
cause
any
problems.
We
just
want
the
same
quality
of
life
that
everybody
in
Oklahoma
City
has.
We
believe
that
we
deserve
that
and
so
I'm
here
representing
our
neighborhood,
saying
that
we
believe
that
this
is
a
good
first
step.
Certainly
we
don't
know
what
may
happen
in
the
future,
but
we
believe
that
something
has
to
be
done
to
improve
the
quality
of
life.
Y
AB
AB
I'm
concerned,
of
course,
there
there
are
too
many
explosions
on
a
daily
or
on
a
regular
basis
and
again
affecting
our
quality
of
life.
But
actually,
what
I'm
concerned
is
the
technical
aspects
of
what
your
present
in
the
recommendations,
that
a
proposal
for
ordinance
and
I
noticed
that
you
didn't
really
publish
anything
their
local
amendments.
I,
don't
know
what
they
are
any
in
the
national
fire
code
that
you're
gonna
adopt,
but
if
it
does
not
include.
AB
Anything
to
prevent
these
are
exploding
from
occurring
by
the
industrial
operations
that
are
adjacent
to
neighborhoods,
such
as
ours
affecting
the
quality
of
life.
Then
it's
not
really
effective,
in
my
opinion,
as
a
resident
of
JFK,
we
need.
We
need
that
type
of
thing
to
say:
okay
control,
the
explosions,
the
noise
in
our
town,
the
I,
understand
OSHA
and
EPA
they're
concerned
with
the
health,
and
these
are
continuous
noise
levels.
Now
will
we
get
acute
noise
levels
which
does
not
affect
the
health
per
se,
but
it
does
affect
quality
of
life.
AB
M
I
just
I
appreciate
that
representatives
are
here,
especially
the
attorney.
I
I
I
guess,
I'm
not
hearing
particular
solutions
and
and
I
hear
minimizing
of
of
the
occurrences.
I
want
you
to
know.
You
know
that
I
experienced
myself
firsthand
and
explosion
a
few
months
ago,
I
didn't
file
any
report
and
so
I
think
that
it's
not
I,
think
you
doing
an
open
records
request
and
seeing
how
many
reports
they
call
you
have
to
do
is
walk
JFK
and
talked
to
the
residents
there
and
you
get
all
the
reports
you
need,
but
I
walked.
M
I
was
at
Fairview
Baptist
Church,
which
is
quite
a
distance,
walking
with
a
gentleman
who's,
a
five-time
combat
vet,
who
absolutely
felt
he
was
back
in
Iraq
with
a
military-grade
explosion
from
your
clients
facility
and
we
drove
over
there
at
well.
First,
we
were
exposed
to
a
fog
like
debris
and
we're
pretty
far
from
the
facility,
so
it's
coming
through
and
we're
breathing
it
and
I
had
pulmonary
reactivity
for
a
good
24
hours.
I'm
a
physician
and
I
know
when
there's
particulate
debris
that
is
harmful
and
I
felt
it
for
24
hours.
M
Your
client
induced
that
kind
of
a
pulmonary
pain
and-
and
that
is
just
that's,
not
acceptable.
They
have
military-grade
explosions,
they
have
that
kind
of
particulate
debris
going
through
neighborhoods
and
we're
again
we're
fairly
far
from
the
facility
and
that
we
drove
over
to
your
facility
and
we
looked
over
the
fence
and
we
see
everything
shut
down
and
we
were
just
looking
there's.
M
Send
it
to
another
facility
elsewhere
in
the
city,
I
mean
that's,
not
the
fact
that
that's
an
obstacle
doesn't
make
it
okay
to
send
that
kind
of
particulate
debris
through
neighborhoods
and
hurt
people,
I
mean
I,
just
there's
no
objective
third
party
and
there's
definitely
no
objective
healthcare
professional.
Who
would
would
witness
that
and
think
that?
That's
okay,
that
that's
okay
to
subject
citizens
of
Oklahoma
City
to
there
would
be
no
objective
third
party.
They
would
think.
M
Oh,
this
is
okay,
this
well,
that's
it's
already
being
smashed,
and
so
it's
just
it's
difficult,
and
so
we
should
just
let
this
continue.
I,
don't
think
you
could
find
one
healthcare
professional
that
would
think
that
that's
okay,
and
so
what
I
heard
today
was
minimizing
deflection
and
no
solutions,
no
solutions
for
alternatives
or
other
things
that
we
could
take
ways
to
protect
the
citizens
of
Oklahoma,
City
and
I.
Think
we
should
move
forward
and
I
I.
M
Frankly,
don't
think
that
it's
stringent
enough
I'd
like
to
hear
I'm
just
glad
you're
here,
because
I
know
I've,
asked
counsel
my
pedis
and
he
said
that
he
couldn't
get
a
response
and
and
from
your
client
and
so
I'm
just
glad
you're
here
today
and
I'd,
like
the
conversation
to
continue,
and
maybe
to
hear
some
solutions
about
how
you
can
can
stop.
What
are
military-grade
explosions
by
in
the
middle
of
a
neighborhood,
with
with
very
harmful
has
to
be
carcinogenic,
has
to
be
carcinogenic,
particulate
debris
going
through
the
neighborhood
Thanks.
U
Same
thing:
yes,
Thank
You
mr.
mayor,
and
thank
you
all
for
coming
out
this
morning,
I've
been
to
both
facilities
several
times
and
each
time
I've
gone
to
the
facilities
you
our
operations
manager,
oh
he's
out
of
town,
oh
he's
out
of
town,
oh
he's
out
of
town
I'm
glad
we
finally
got
your
attention
with
this
proposed
change.
I
move
that
we
move
the
item.
Four
okay,.
R
R
AC
AA
Is
correct?
We
responded
to
some
claims
complaints
over
the
last
few
years
and
like
in
2008,
the
inspector
visited
with
personnel
from
these
operations
and
just
found
out
what
the
procedures
were.
Based
on
that
research
and
some
research
and
what-have-you,
we
developed
these
requirements
to
it
add
to
addition
to
the
already
required
permit
of
the
fire
code.
K
David,
your
honor,
yes,
while
I'm
concerned
about
the
living
conditions
for
the
residents
of
these
neighborhoods,
which
I
think
is,
is
very
important.
I
think
some
of
the
requests
seem
just
as
fair
to
me
that
if
I
can
list
the
ones
that
I
took
notes
about
specifying
the
reporting
method,
I
think
that's
a
fair
request
to
say
we
need
it
to
be
in
writing.
We
need
it
to
be
an
email
or
whatever
the
specified
reporting
that
we
would
prefer
to
have.
K
One
report
seems
fair
and
then
the
appeals
procedures
I'm
going
to
speak
about
this
from
personal
experience
not
with
this
particular
body,
but
in
as
it
relates
to
income
tax
appeals,
especially
at
the
state
level.
You
go
into
those
appeals
hearing
and
it's
a
stacked
deck
against
you
I'm,
not
saying
this
is
the
way
it's
going
to
be
on
this
situation,
but
to
have
an
impartial
board
here.
K
A
You
did
this
is
an
interesting
issue,
because
I
think
everyone
here
wants
the
same
thing.
I,
don't
think
that
the
neighbors
that
are
being
impacted
are
trying
to
shut
down
a
business
or
trying
to
you
know,
put
people
out
of
work
and
I,
don't
think
the
people
that
are
conducting
the
business
are
hoping
to
impact
the
neighbors
and
if
it
were
being
resolved,
naturally,
we
wouldn't
be
here,
but
I.
Think
councilman
Pettis
made
some
some
good-faith
efforts
to
try
and
see
if
we
could
get
to
the
meat
of
the
problem.
A
AD
Wanted
to
clear
that
one
issue
up
councilman
the
reporting
issue
itself.
That
is
one
report.
So
when
you
contact
the
fire
department
as
it
relates
to
this
ordinance,
there's
no
dual
reporting,
as
has
been
mentioned,
I
realized
what
the
language
of
the
ordinance
says,
but
once
the
fire
department's
contacted
the
fire
department
and
the
fire
authority
they're
one.
In
the
same,
so
there
would
be
one
report
there,
chief.
K
I
hope
no
one
from
they
will
come.
The
Tax
Commission
took
offense
by
my
comments
because
I
know
I'll
be
out
there
at
some
point,
but
it
just
seems
when
the
enforcer
is
the
appeals
situation
without
other
parties
at
least
participating.
You
do
feel
like
it's
somewhat
unfair,
but
again,
I
don't
know
I'm
just
asking.
Could
the
staff
respond.
AD
With
some
personnel
changes
that
we've
made
here
in
past
year
to
the
member
of
our
department
is
a
civilian
employee
that
sits
on
that
board
now,
so
he
is
not
cleat
certified.
He
would
not
be
the
one
issuing
a
citation
or
enforcing
the
code.
He
has
no
authority
in
that
way.
He's
a
civilian
employee
within
our
fire
prevention
services.
Division.
Now
that
sits
on
that
board
could.
K
I
ask
this:
would
it
be
appropriate
to
have
a
citizen
serve
on
that
board
to
get
the
perspective
of
the
citizens
on
the
appeals?
Hearing
and
I?
Don't
need
an
answer
now,
I'm,
just
raising
the
question.
I'm
sorry
I
didn't
mean
to
ask
it
in
that
manner,
but
I'm
just
throwing
that
out
there
that
perhaps
if
we
had
citizens
participation
in
this
in
addition
to
the
fire
department,
maybe
we
get
a
different
perspective,
I'm,
not
sure
but
I'm,
just
posing
that
isn't
I.
A
L
Need
to
clarify
that,
because
it
was
posted,
it
was
originally
advertised
to
be
heard
next
week
on
the
18th,
but
because
of
the
weather,
we
cancelled
our
financial
workshop
and
that
has
now
been
rescheduled
for
the
18th.
So
it's
our
anticipate
that
we
will
defer
this
item
on
the
18th
to
the
25th,
and
so
the
final
adoption
on
this
will
defer
it
next
week
and
not
discuss
it
at
all
next
week
at
our
financial
workshop
and
have
full
discussion
on
the
25th
which
today,
ok.
N
Can
we
use
that
time
for
some
collaboration
or
getting
some
of
the
input
from
the
industry
of
this
involved?
The
neighbors
that
we
did
not
apparently
get
for
sure
I
think
it
would
be
helpful.
Maybe
if
we
there
seems
to
be
a
lack
of
communication
between
the
two
groups
and
I
think
councilman
Judy's
points
well-taken.
There
are
maybe
some
definitely
health
measures
that
we
have
to
consider,
but
I
think
we
need
to
do
that
in
a
measured
form,
not
just
one
person
going
out
there
and
breathing
the
thing
planning
about
it.
U
U
N
A
Right
do
we
have
a
motion
and
a
second
okay
we're
the
this
today
was
the
public
hearing
will
be
bringing
this
back
for
a
presumed
vote
on
the
25th
cast
your
votes.
It
passed
unanimously
item
ad.
Is
an
item
that's
being
introduced
today
and
we're
setting
a
public
hearing
for
February
25th,
an
assistant
city
manager.
Mt
Berry
is
here
to
tell
us
more
about
what
would
be
a
new
noise
ordinance
regulation,
good.
AE
Morning,
mayor
council,
Mt,
berry
city,
manager's
office
staff
is
requesting
some
amendments
to
the
current
noise
ordinance.
That
ordinance
is
found
under
chapter
34
of
the
Municipal
Code.
What
we've
put
before
you
today
under
under
section
34,
five
number,
five,
we're
asking
that
a
word
be
deleted
from
that.
It
currently
reads:
non-commercial
unamplified,
public
speaking
and
public
assembly
activities
conducted
on
any
public
space
or
public
right-of-way,
we're
asking
that
the
word
unamplified
be
removed
and
would
read
non-commercial
public
speaking
and
public
assembly
activities
conducted
on
any
public
space
or
public
right-of-way.
AE
That's
the
first
change
the
staff
is
requesting,
then
under
Section
thirty-four
point,
seven,
which
are
the
permit
requirements.
We
are
asking
that
a
change
be
made.
Currently,
a
noise
permit
can
only
be
issued
three
times
a
year
for
a
single
location
and
we're
asking
that
that
and
that
would
apply
to
both
residential
business
and
entertainment
districts.
AE
N
A
Right
ready
to
go
on
this,
how
about
a
motion
than
to
move
item
80
forward,
cast
your

A
That's

Ward
2.
Is

one
forward,
all

cast

Do

Okay
moving

Is

A
A
All

It

attend
is
items
from
Council
and
Councilman
Ryan.
You
have
a
resolution
today.
Yes,.
N
Romero,
thank
you
it's.
This
is
a
resolution
we
discussed
I
think
many
before
last
or
last
meeting
and
this
puts
into
a
formal
resolution.
Some
of
we
talked
about
it
would
require
a
estimated
amount
and
the
reasons
for
the
trip
remain
benefits
might
be
accrued
to
city
for
that
purpose.
Anyway,
it's
a
fairly
straightforward
thing:
I,
don't
think
it's
very
complicated.
N
M
M
M
N
S
N
M
And
I'm,
okay,
so
that,
but
that
wouldn't
be
included
and
would
not
be
included
as
resolution.
So
I'm
wondering
if
that,
if
that
needs
to
be
that
if
a
third
party
pays
for
it,
that
that
would
be
included-
and-
and
you
know
this-
this
goes
to
difficulty-
I
have
just
in
trying
to
trace
back
what
kind
of
travel
has
transpired.
I
know.
You
know:
we've
talked
about
this
before
the
mayor,
scheduled
for
an
eight-year
period
of
time
has
been
deleted
from
the
city,
computers,
both
the
digital
and
the
paper
trail.
M
N
M
N
I
think
to
not
necessary
the
trip
and,
to
the
extent
that
it
would
demonstrate
that
the
city
was
holding
or
making
you
responsible
and
as
a
representative
of
the
city
at
this
conference
or
whatever
kind
of
meet
I,
think
you
go
to
a
conference
when
you
paid
for
it
yourself
or
had
somebody
else,
pay
for
it
and
represents
yourself
without
any
approval
from
the
City
Council.
What
the
expressed
views
that
don't
necessarily
represent
the
feeding
of
the
majority
of
the
council,
then
I
think
I'm
kind
of
a
limitation
on
that.
N
M
Well,
I
think
I'm
not
prepared
to
just
do
something
off
the
cuff
and
maybe
I'd
like
to
talk
with
Kenny
over
the
next
couple
weeks,
but
I
think
in
terms
of
disclosure
of
things
that
are
being
paid
for
by
third
parties.
There
needs
to
be
that
there
needs
to
be
something
address
and
so
I'll
work
with
Kenny
over
the
next
couple
weeks.
Fine.
A
K
Last
year
we
had
plenty
of
rain
in
Central
Oklahoma,
but
I
still
don't
want
to
not
think
in
terms
of
looking
at
ways
that
we
can
enhance
the
chances
of
rain,
whether
it's
seeding
or
something
like
that,
and
if
we
can
work
in
conjunction
with
I'm,
sorry
I,
don't
know
the
county
that
Lake
Canton
is
located
in,
but
you
know
Eric
Blaine
Blaine.
Thank
you
work
with
other
agencies,
whether
it's
the
county
up
there
or
Oklahoma
County,
to
look
at
ways
to
enhance
the
chances
of
rainfall
cuz.
N
One
point
in
time:
the
Water
Resources
Board
has
a
special
committee
appointed
on
weather
modification
and
it
was
a
disaster
because,
wherever
it
rained,
the
people
didn't
want
rain,
but
we
mean
that
was
an
awful
lot
of
of
abuse
because
they
cause
rainfall
in
Hughes
County.
The
penis
crop
I.
Don't
recall
that
one
quickly
I
served
on
that
cumin.

V

Unanimously,
the
County
County,
the
council
has
voted
unanimously
to
endorse
a
resolution
supporting
the
status
quo
as
opposed
to
selling
the
line,
and
my
resolution
is
probably
going
to
mirror
very
closely.
The
Tulsa
resolution
I've
also
been
contacted
by
a
number
of
people
that
are
that
are
interested
BNSF
for
one.
V
A
R
M
A
couple
of
things
I'd
like
to
invite
citizens
to
a
town-hall
meeting
this
Thursday
night
on
Public
Safety,
and
this
is
the
five-year
anniversary
of
a
study
that
we
did
as
a
city
by
a
company
called
Berkshire
that
looked
at
specifically
policeman
power
levels
and
it
made
a
lot
of
recommendations.
It
talked
about
that.
We
were
that
we
were
very,
very
low
in
terms
of
the
number
of
police
officers
trying
to
to
service
620
square
miles.
It
gave
some
warnings
about
what
would
happen
to
morale.
What
was
what
was
deficient
in
terms
of
investigations?
M
It
was
very
comprehensive
report
and
that
was
in
February
of
2009,
so
we're
right.
At
five
years
today
we
have
about
40
less
officers
on
the
street
than
it
at
the
time
of
that
study
and
the
lead
investigators
name
was
Michael
Walker
and
mr.
Walker
is
coming
to
Oklahoma.
City
and
he'll
speak
this
Thursday
night
at
the
Francis
Tuttle,
the
Reno
campus,
not
the
one
on
122nd,
but
the
one
on
Reno,
Rockwell
and
Reno,
it's
very
close
to
where,
on
Friday
we
had
the
home
invasion
with
a
three
citizens
shot.
M
That's
very
close
to
the
area
of
the
city
with
the
highest
crime
rate,
the
four
square
mile
area
from
council
to
Meridian,
roughly
10th
to
27th,
by
where
we
just
got
a
federal
grant.
Ryan
suppress
the
crime
in
that
area
and
mr.
Walker
will
talk
about
kind
of
plugging
in
the
numbers
that
chief
city
gave
us
a
couple
months
ago,
giving
us
an
update
about
what
our
present
requirements
are
about.
200
officers
short,
but
we'll
talk
about
kind
of
that
study,
review.
M
That
study
from
five
years
ago
and
kind
of
plugging
in
what's
happened
over
the
last
five
years
and
hearing
his
thoughts
about.
What's
happened
in
other
cities.
What
we
face
in
terms
of
crime,
both
violent
and
property
crime,
with
those
about
a
policeman
power
levels
and
and
potential
solutions
based
on
what's
worked
and
hasn't
worked
in
other
cities
and
so
I
think
it'll
be
very
I.
Think
it'll
be
a
great
conversation
again.
That's
at
6:30
p.m.
at
the
Francis
Tuttle,
the
Reno
campus
on
Reno
and
Rockwell
at
6:30
p.m.
this
Thursday
night.
Thank
you.
M
P
Yeah
I
was
at
a
meeting
last
night
at
the
Britton
courtyard
apartments
and
I
just
want
to
thank
master
sergeants
gala
and
the
residents
of
that
apartment
complex
for
getting
the
getting
those
residents
together.
There
they've
kind
of
formed
their
own
little
neighborhood
association,
they
elected
a
president
last
night,
and
it
was
just
good
at
their
apartment.
Complex,
is
one
that
is
that
struggles
with
crime.
P
Most
of
the
crime
occurs
from
people
who
don't
live
there,
and
so
it
said
this
was
kind
of
their
first
step
of
joining
together
and
and
saying
enough
is
enough
and
kind
of
taking
back
their
their
neighborhood.
It
was
the
first
apartment,
complex
Neighborhood,
Association
that
I
that
I
ever
attended
and
I
don't
know
how
many
of
those
are
around,
but
I
highly
encourage
that
to
happen,
because
you
know
you
get
sick
of
crime
or
in
your
in
your
neighborhood.
P
That's
that's
the
best
way
of
doing
it
is
to
get
get
get
the
neighborhood
neighbors
organized
and
it's
a
lot
of
hard
work.
But
I
just
wanted
to
thank
I.
Think
Master
Sergeant
Scalla,
the
Hefner
division
was
pretty
instrumental
in
getting
that
meeting
going
and
they
have
a
good
security
team
there
that
has
been
on
for
just
a
few
months.
So
hopefully
they
can
continue
progress.
That's
all
I
have
all.
L
Q
Good
morning,
members
of
the
council,
both
the
board
of
downtown
Oklahoma
City
incorporated
and
the
Advisory
Board
for
the
Business
Improvement
District,
held
their
annual
meetings
in
January.
So
we
prepared
this
presentation
kind
of
as
an
annual
report
for
them
and
I
wanted
to
share
it
with
you.
It's
also
available
on
the
D
OKC
website
and
I'm
sure
that
you
have
copies
of
it.
There
do
I,
have
a
clicker
or.
Q
First
of
all,
we've
had
a
lot
of
development
happen
in
the
downtown
area
in
2013
the
announcement
of
GE
on
10th
Street
with
a
hundred
and
thirty
employees.
Ninety
five
thousand
square
feet
that
will
open
in
the
spring
of
2015
is
really
a
game
changer
for
Oklahoma
City.
All
the
way
around
I
think
that
we're
going
to
see
this
change
not
only
the
downtown
but
the,
but
the
community
in
general.
We're
also
excited
about
the
announcement
of
the
OG&E
headquarters
on
the
site
of
stage
Center.
Q
Obviously,
for
many
of
us
that's
a
bittersweet
thing,
but
it's
also
that
particular
piece
of
land
is
certainly
valuable
and
appropriate
for
this
type
of
development.
So
we're
excited
about
that.
We've
had
several
office
renovations
that
are
have
been
announced.
The,
Rock,
Island,
plow,
building,
one
of
the
oldest
buildings
in
Bricktown,
will
be
office
for
lease
and
in
and
is
due
to
be
completed
in
2015.
Q
This
is
a
building
that
has
been
you
know,
just
sort
of
one
of
those
empty
and
I
want
to
say
eyesores,
but
but
places
in
Bricktown
where
you
go
well,
we're
not
quite
done
yet
well.
I
think
this
will
go
a
long
way
toward
really
filling
some
of
those
gaps.
I
mentioned
to
the
Oklahoman
at
the
Century
Center,
with
350
employees
due
to
arrive
in
September
of
2014
and,
of
course,
the
journal
record
building
that
will
also
be
constructing
a
four
hundred
and
nine
space
parking
garage
which
we
desperately
need
downtown.
Q
We
have
we've
had
some
hotels
announced
that
they're
coming
the
the
biggest
announcement,
of
course,
is
the
21c
Museum
Hotel
that
will
be
in
West
downtown.
This
is
a
big
deal
for
to
anchor
kind
of
that
new
emerging
area
or
that
frontier
of
downtown
right
now,
the
Ambassador,
which
will
be
in
Midtown
at
the
corner
of
11th
and
Walker.
It's
the
old
Osler
building,
a
former
medical
office
facility
be
15
million
dollars
in
a
55
room,
boutique
hotel
and
the
only
hotel
serving
that
area.
On
the
other
side
of
the
medical
corridor.
Q
We
will
be
welcoming
and
embassy
suites
that
will
have
a
hundred
and
994
to
serve
the
Health
Science
Center
mosaic
is
a
residential
project
that
is
being
developed
by
the
same
folks
who
brought
us
level.
It
is
right
across
the
street
from
level
on
Oklahoma.
The
Maywood
apartments
are
a
hundred
and
thirty
nine.
What
rental
units
they
look
like
they're
almost
completed,
and
then
they
have
another
hundred
and
sixty
additional
units
planned.
Q
Q
Other
residential
projects,
the
Metropolitan,
will
be
the
biggest
one
in
downtown
along
Oklahoma
Avenue
north
of
sixth
Street
have
330
rental
units.
The
steel
yard
will
open
in
mid
2015
in
Bricktown,
250
rental
units
and
then
376
rental
units
total
in
Phase,
two
other
residential
projects.
10Th
inch
are
tell
Lisbon,
lofts
and
1201
north
Frances.
These
are
all
in
the
Midtown
st.
Anthony
area,
so
that
area
continues
to
grow
as
a
mixed
use.
District
for
residential
office,
retail
and
restaurant
we're
really
proud
about
the
downtown
elementary
school
that
is
scheduled
to
open
in
this
fall.
Q
John
Rex
will
bring
a
great
element
to
our
downtown
nationwide.
When
we
look
at
downtown's
across
the
country
that
are
that
are
successful
is
because
they
have
brought
this
element
into
their
downtown.
I'm
often
asked
well
what
about
the
continuing
education?
Well,
you
know
those
kids
are
gonna,
start
at
first
and
second
grade
and
hopefully,
as
we
work
through
there,
we're
going
to
look
at
ways
that
we
can
offer
secondary
education
and
and
such
as
that,
working
with
the
school
district.
Q
But
this
is
a
model
that
will
be
watched
all
over
the
country
and
then,
of
course,
the
old
Central
High
School
will
return
to
its
original
use
as
an
education
facility.
With
the
Oh
see
you
law
school
moving
there
again,
a
great
game-changer
for
downtown
bringing
over
550
students
and
a
hundred
faculty
staff
and
administrators
to
the
heart
of
the
Park
Plaza
district
in
Midtown
other
retail
construction.
We
talked
about
I
think
this
has
got
a
different
name
now,
I'm
still
calling
it
house
of
bedlam.
Q
That
is
a
long
Mickey
Mantle
and
the
Bricktown
Canal
and
again
it's
not
just
retail.
It's
gonna
have
some
rock
climbing
and
an
entertainment
component,
because
retail
is
changing
and
the
you
see
that
also
with
Fassler
Hall
and
the
Dust
Bowl
that
it
will
be
more
like
a
German
beer
hall
and
a
bowling
alley.
So
it's
it's
not
just
food
and
beverage
or
just
buying
product,
there's
an
entertainment,
active
component
involved
and
then,
of
course,
Katy's
southern
kitchen
opened
in
December
of
last
year
in
Bricktown.
This
is
just
a
list.
Q
As
you
can
see,
we
really
are
doing
quite
well
in
the
marketplace
in
terms
of
where
our
occupancy
is
and
then
also
what
our
price
per
square
foot
is.
When
efficiency
we
are
about,
you
know
the
same
all
the
way
around
that
they
are
in
the
metro.
But
when
it
comes
to
those
larger
units,
we
really
are
demanding
a
higher.
You
know
rental
rate
than
Oklahoma
City
and
the
metro
you
know
in
general,
and
so
that
really
marks
a
great
you
know.
Real
estate
metric
for
for
downtown,
also
with
our
hotel
performance,
is
also
great.
Q
Our
occupancy
downtown
is
71%
that
compares
favorably
to
the
rest
of
the
city.
Our
average
daily
rate
is
higher
than
the
rest
of
the
city
and
the
rate
changes
year-over-year,
and
then
the
room
supply
is
actually
showing
that
we
do
need
additional
hotel
rooms,
because
it's
negative,
that's
the
amount
of
available
hotel
rooms
on
any
given
on
any
given
day
and
so
in
downtown
in
particular
and
and
OKC
in
general.
We
we
do
have
room
for
four
more
hotels
talking
a
little
bit
about
our
events,
because
this
is
what
we
do.
Q
We
had
Restaurant
Week,
where
an
employee
appreciation
day
board
member
appreciation.
This
is
all
just
going
through
the
the
calendar
in
2013
starlight
supper
was
a
new
event
for
2013.
We
will
be
repeating
that
on
April
the
10th
this
year
in
Bicentennial
Park
this
year,
the
recipient-
we
donated
the
proceeds
from
starlight
supper
last
year
to
Emerson
school
this
year.
It
will
be
to
untitled
art
gallery.
We're
gonna
have
a
sound
byte.
Q
Calm
concert,
I'm
really
excited
about
the
downtown
this
year,
because
it's
going
to
be
in
August
and
it's
going
to
be
part
of
a
three
downtown
race
series
type
thing
that
you're
going
to
be,
and
I'm
and
I'm
sorry
I.
Remember
the
name
of
the
two
other
races,
but
there's
gonna
be
one
every
Saturday
night
in
August
and
you're
going
to
be
able
to
one
is
the
midnight
streak.
Q
I
can
remember
that
register
for
all
three
at
the
same
place,
we're
combining
all
of
this,
and
there
will
be
prizes
for
people
who
do
all
three
races,
but
I
love
the
name
of
the
race
series,
we're
calling
it
we
run
this
town,
so
I
think
it'll
be
I.
Think
it'll
be
a
lot
of
fun
in
August.
For
the
runners
rock
the
boat
is
a
is
a
promotion
in
Bricktown
to
activate
the
canal.
We
give
away
ice
cream
to
the
employees
downtown
in
in
September.
Q
This
was
really
fun
this
year
because
we
worked
with
fleet
tracking
to
have
local.
You
know
GPS,
and
we
worked
with
the
mercedes-benz
dealership
to
deliver
the
ice
cream
to
the
employees
of
smart
cars.
So
people
could
find
us
on
their
computer
and
come
out
and
and
get
their
ice
cream.
We
also
had
a
developers
luncheon
and
for
those
that
have
you're
interested
we're.
Gonna
have
another
I
believe
it's
next
Thursday.
If
that's
the
20th
of
February
and
it'll,
be
at
the
Skirvin
hotel,
you
should
have
received
an
invitation.
If
you
didn't.
Q
Let
me
know
when
I'll
get
you
one.
We
had
October
bike
tours.
This
is
using
spoken
bikes.
These
were
very
popular
and
while
they
were
free,
we're
limited
with
the
amount
of
people
that
we
can
have
on
them
and
every
one
of
them
quote
unquote
sold
out.
You
know
we
had
the
maximum
number
of
people
that
we
could
have
on
each
particular
tour.
Q
We
produced
six
degrees
of
bacon,
which
is
a
bacon
pork,
themed
event
that
raises
money
for
the
Midtown
group
and
then,
of
course,
we
had
an
extremely
successful
downtown
in
December,
presented
by
Devin
event
this
year,
and
you
can
see
all
the
many
activities
that
are
involved
in
celebrating
the
holidays
in
downtown
Oklahoma
City.
Our
communications
really
grew
we're
very
proud
of
our
the
growth
in
in
our
Twitter
Facebook
newsletter.
Q
Subscribers
I
have
folks
all
the
time
that
are
coming
to
me
and
telling
me
that
they
use
the
downtown
newsletter
as
a
way
to
really
get
information
about,
what's
happening
downtown,
as
well
as
to
set
their
social
calendars.
For
the
weekend
we
manage
the
automobile
ally,
Twitter
film
row,
Twitter
film
row
Facebook.
These
are
all
things
that
we
do
for
those
other
districts
downtown
as
well
as
downtown
OKC.
Q
In
general,
we
do
have
Bricktown
Facebook
in
Bricktown
Twitter
that
we
manage
through
do
KC,
but
that's
actually
done
through
Mallory,
who
is
the
brick
town
district
manager.
Some
special
projects
that
we
had
this
year
was
the
silo
art
project,
the
brick
Stennett
project
that
we'll
be
painting
the
mural
on
the
silo
near
the
river,
the
brick
town,
main
street
district
gateway
side.
We
added
one
over
Main
Street
and
then,
of
course,
the
the
Smokies
bike
share
program
that
we
work
with
the
city
on
our
staff
is
very
involved
within
the
community.
Q
It's
not
just
about
downtown,
and
this
is
just
a
list
of
some
of
the
organizations
that
we
are
representing
Oklahoma,
City
and
downtown
with
retro
Metro,
big
brothers,
Big,
Sisters
leadership,
Oklahoma,
City
and
leadership
Oklahoma
so
downtown
and
is
really
being
well
represented
by
our
staff
out
in
the
community,
with
their
volunteer
efforts
with
marketing
and
branding.
We
added
new
bubbles
around
downtown.
We
had
billboards
and
had
the
development
of
several
new
event
logos
that
we
are
working
on
this
bubble
campaign.
Q
You've
probably
seen
it
it's
really
popular
and
we
always
have
businesses
that
are
calling
us
wanting
us
to
come
put
a
bubble
on
their
window,
and
we
refresh
this
like
every
year
to
18
months
kind
of
change
up
the
colors
a
little
bit.
Do
a
little
bit
of
a
different
type
of
things
with
the
slogan,
but
I
think
it
will
be
a
messaging
platform
for
us
for
many
years
to
come
and
allow
us
to
sort
of
use.
The
conversation
angle
also
advocacy.
Q
You
know
we
worked
with
the
city
on
the
special
events,
permitting
issues
that
you
recently
considered
the
automobile
alley
parking
plan,
the
Quiet,
Zone,
fundraising,
brick,
town
parking
issues
and
Boulevard
planning.
These
are
just
a
few
of
the
high
profile
issues
that
we
advocate
forward
for
downtown
businesses
and
property
owners
or
try
to
have
a
voice
in
the
in
the
in
the
discussion
with
operations
and
clean
and
safe.
We
do
Street
vacuuming
and
pedestrian
cans.
We
do
Canal
maintenance,
underground
tunnel
maintenance.
I.
Have
some
great
I
want
you
to
look
at
this
picture
right
now.
F
Q
Was
actually
the
underground
during
the
during
the
time
during
the
flooding
that
that
we
had
and
again
I
thank
the
city.
It
was
a
great
partnership
and
getting
this
thing
cleaned
up
just
as
quickly
as
we
could
and
being
able
to
replace
what
what
we
could
in
terms
of
carpet
that
we
needed
and
and
the
city
was
a
great
partner
on
that.
We
also
took
on
an
increased
role
in
project
180
maintenance,
as
we
move
to
do
that,
eventually,
the
Business
Improvement
District.
Q
It
will
be
doing
all
of
most
of
the
project-
180
maintenance,
but
we're
starting
to
do
that
now,
so
that
we
just
recently
replaced
ten
dead
trees
over
in
front
of
the
art
museum.
So
we're
trying
to
to
keep
a
handle
on
that,
so
that
so
that
it
is
a
smooth
transition
and
we
don't
lose
any
more
plants.
Q
Q
We
asked
him
what
kind
of
businesses
they
wanted.
A
convenience
store
pharmacy,
a
bookstore,
Jim
Tolbert,
who
is
chair
of
the
D
OKC
Board
says
they
don't
really
want
to
buy
books.
They
just
want
a
place
to
hang
out,
but
nonetheless,
book
store
made
the
list.
Car
Wash
was
surprising,
but
pet
boarding
and
grooming
I
think
we
see
lots
more
pet,
friendly
living
opportunities,
downtown
and
so
there's
certainly
an
opportunity
for
for
the
growth
in
that
in
that
industry
downtown.
We
also
surveyed
them
about
their.
Q
Q
276
agreed
that
downtown
is
clean,
86
said
downtown
is
safe
and
94
said.
I
am
satisfied
with
my
decision
to
live,
downtown.
I
think
these
are
tremendous
numbers
you
do
have
to
remember
that
we
are
surveying
the
people
who
live
here.
That's
what
that's!
What
that
is
so
they're,
obviously,
hopefully
going
to
be
happy
with
that
decision,
but
I,
but
I
really
am
proud
of
the
you
know
the
high
numbers
that
they
think
downtown
is
clean
and
safe
and
that
they're
glad
that
they
live
here
a
little
bit
about
the
bid
budget.
Q
Our
FY
2013
bid
budget
was
about
1.5
million
dollars,
district-wide
and
actual
expenditures.
It's
really
better
shown
through
how
we
spend
our
money
from
2013
to
2014.
It's
about
the
same,
the
bulk
of
our
money,
43
percent
is
spent
and
clean
and
safe,
and
that
is
in
our
operational
side
and
then
the
next
one
is
marketing
and
programming.
And
then
you
have
some
administrative
costs
that
amount
to
about
eighteen
or
nineteen
percent.
Q
You
know
from
the
from
the
bid,
but
we
are
getting
at
least
over
80
percent
of
our
dollars
are
being
used
directly
into
downtown.
What
we
added
into
our
budget
for
2014,
in
partnership
with
the
city,
is
a
downtown
Operations
Coordinator.
This
is
the
position.
That's
helping
us
maintain
project
180,
as
well
as
some
of
the
TIF
projects
that
we're
going
to
be
looking
at
in
Bricktown.
Q
We're
doing
some
district
identification
signage,
we
built
a
reserve
for
underground
flooding
G,
it
might
happen
again
and
also
a
fund
to
help
us
sponsor
and
help
other
organizations
do
some
of
their
events.
Downtown.
Some
of
our
organizational
goals
are
to
work
with
the
brick
town
association
structure,
goals
and
marketing.
Q
Q
Some
events
that
we
have
planned
for
2014
I
mentioned
the
developers
luncheon
downtown
employee
appreciation.
Week
is
the
first
weekend
in
March,
starlight
suppers,
actually
April
10th
rock.
The
boat
is
June
7th,
the
downtown
is
August,
2nd
and
then
free
ice
cream
day,
August,
15th
and
I'm
sure
we
will
add
a
few
there
there.
The
rest
of
an
outdoor
concert
on
October
3rd
six
degrees
of
bacon
bike
tours
automobile
automobile
alley
has
a
shop
hop.
Q
That's
every
third
Thursday
monthly
and
premiere
on
film
row
is
every
third
Friday
monthly
you've
seen
this
happen
all
over
Oklahoma
City,
where
these
districts
are
celebrating
themselves
one
night
a
month,
see
it
in
the
plaza
district,
8th
and
H
celebration
with
the
food
trucks.
This
is
just
a
tremendous
way
that
we
have
grown
our
community,
not
just
downtown
but
all
over
Oklahoma,
City
and
then,
of
course,
downtown
in
December
in
for
the
holidays
and
you've
already
seen
that
slide
and
as
always,
I
just
want
to.
Q
A
Q
Metro
region
would
include
things
like
probably
Edmond
and
Mustang
and
and
and
more
and
some
of
those
things
that
we
would
consider
the
greater
Oklahoma
City
metro
OKC
would
be
just
the
city
limits
and
most
of
those
numbers
we're
getting
from
the
chamber
or
the
Convention
and
Visitors
Bureau.
So
it's
how
they
would
define
those
that's
how
we
define
them.
So.
K
Your
honor
Jane
I
just
want
to
commend
you.
That
was
a
great
report.
Very
it
just
gives
you
a
great
feeling
for
the
future
of
Oklahoma
City
and
even
though
we
talked
earlier
about
there
are
cities
who
have
done
some
things
that
we
would
like
to
copy
I.
Think
we're
well
on
our
way
to
making
this
a
very
strong
City.
I
do
have
a
question
since
you
brought
up
the
GE
research
centers,
which
I
think
is
very
important.
K
Q
I
really
do
think
this
is
going
to
be
a
game
changer
more
than
we
can
ever
even
see
for
for
downtown
and
for
our
community,
because
these
are.
These
are
high-paying
great
jobs
that
are
only
going
to
grow
and
that
air
around
10th
and
on
10th
Street,
where
there,
where
they're
starting,
will,
will
be
developed.
I.
K
L
L
AF
You
good
morning,
I'm
hopeful
that
talking
about
a
little
bit
baseball
helps
us
all
warm
up
just
a
little
bit
so
appreciate
the
opportunity.
I,
actually
I,
left
copies
of
the
formal
presentation.
This
is
something
that
our
organization
puts
together
every
year
and
gives
us
a
chance
to
go
out
to
key
stakeholders
in
the
community,
our
business
partners,
our
community
partners
and
just
really
recap
the
year.
So
the
presentation
today
is
really
just
a
summary
of
that
whole
presentation,
but
I
want
you
to
have
the
full
one
this
morning.
AF
We
do
think
that
that
eyeball-to-eyeball
feedback
is
so
critical.
I've
been
talking
to
to
the
people
involved
with
the
team,
and
it
gives
us
the
chance
to
spend
our
offseason
getting
better
and
preparing
for
what
is
this
year,
April
11th
our
opening
day,
so
the
the
summaries.
These
conversations
typically
start
with
how
the
season
go,
and
this
year
we
had
15
sellout
crowds
in
the
ballpark
yeah,
so
there
were
15
sellout
crowds
in
the
ballpark.
We
really
focused
there
we
go.
AF
We
had
a
real
focus
on
our
sales
teams,
efforts
to
look
at
our
peak
games
and
get
the
opportunity
to
really
grow
the
number
of
people
that
are
coming
on
the
games
that
people
want
to
come
to.
So
over
the
last
three
years,
we've
had
a
great
trend.
We
had
eight
sellouts
in
2011,
13
and
2000.
Well
then,
now,
15
last
year,
we've
targeted
20
key
games
this
year
as
our
peak
games
that
our
staff
is
really
focusing
on.
AF
So
it
gives
ours
our
folks
as
they're
talking
to
someone
that's
a
potential
buyer
at
this
time
of
year
and
not
really
thinking
about
baseball.
It
gives
them
the
ability
to
really
focus
them
to
a
specific
date
in
June
or
July
to
make
their
decision
early.
As
you
see
our
average
attendance
crude
of
5700
last
year,
the
nice
thing
for
our
organization.
AF
We
had
three
consecutive
years
now
of
attendance
growth,
so
it's
it
shows
that
the
interest
in
the
community,
as
far
as
coming
back
out
to
the
ballpark
and
wanting
to
participate
in
the
Redhawks
baseball,
we're
actually
one
of
only
two
teams
in
triple-a,
baseball
out
of
30,
has
had
three
consecutive
years
of
growth.
So
we
see
that
as
a
very
positive
sign
as
far
as
the
indicators
for
where,
where
the
interest
in
the
team
is
and
how
we
continue
to
grow,
that
moving
forward.
AF
One
other
interesting
thing
we
recently
partnered
with
Scarborough
research
and
Scarborough
many
may
be
familiar.
You
know
the
surveys
and
different
communities
every
year.
It's
it's.
They
asked
a
ton
of
questions
related
to
buying
habits
and
what
people
are
doing
with
their
entertainment,
dollar,
etc.
AF
Our
focus
as
I
mentioned.
It
really
is
on
those
peak
nights
and
we
really
give
our
sales
team
the
opportunity
that
that's
a
team
that's
grown
to
really
20
people
in
the
last
three
years.
That
focus
is
solely
on
getting
people
to
understand,
what's
going
on
at
the
ballpark
and
do
want
to
come
out
to
the
ballpark
and
getting
them
to
commit
early.
AF
So
we've
we've
really
focused
on
the
affordable
products
that
those
are
things
that,
if
we're
gonna,
be
marketing
specifically
to
families
in
Oklahoma
City
and
want
to
be
important
to
the
quality
of
life
of
our
residents.
It
does
have
to
be
affordable.
So
we've
introduced
a
seven
game
plan
which,
over
the
last
three
years,
has
consistently
been
3,000
3,500
of
those
plans
that
people
have
purchased
in
the
in
the
community,
so
those
are
households.
AF
Those
are
people
in
our
metro
area,
they're,
not
participating
that
didn't
used
to,
because
the
the
previous
option
was
only
a
72
game
season.
Ticket
which
is
which
is
tough,
I,
don't
even
get
a
chance
to
go
to
all
72
games.
So
it's
tough
to
consider
our
fans
will
do
that
as
well.
We
also
about
once
a
month
will
target
our
friends
and
family
nights.
We
do
a
unique
opportunity,
so
it's
kind
of
the
one
promotional
offer
that
we
that
we
provide-
and
it
gives
again
it's
it's
a
peak
night.
AF
It's
a
Friday
or
Saturday,
it's
one
that
our
fans
want
to
go
to
and
then
our
six
person
group
sales
team
really
focuses
on
over
a
hundred
mile
radius
they're
calling
on
groups
that
may
have
an
interest
in
doing
a
one
time
a
month
or
one
time
a
summer
event.
So
it
could
be
schools
with
their
field
trip
days.
It
could
be
Scouts
when
we
host
them
on
the
field
after
a
game
and
let
them
watch
a
movie
and
run
around
the
outfield.
AF
Our
future
Redhawks
nights
are
always
really
fun
that
the
teams
show
up
in
uniform,
get
to
go
out
on
the
field
prior
to
the
game,
be
out
there
for
the
national
anthem.
We
always
have
to
time
that
very
carefully.
If
we
let
them
out
there
for
too
long,
then
they
start
chasing
each
other
around
the
outfield
and
get
in
the
way
if
people
play
warming
up
and
thrown
their
hats
in
the
air.
AF
So
it's
it's
a
delicate
balance,
but
it
is
a
great
opportunity
for
those
kids
to
be
able
to
truly
get
out
there
on
the
field
and
interact
with
those
players.
The
ball
park.
Experience
is
critical
and,
and
the
unsurpassed
customer
service
is
one
of
our
five
key
tenants
that
we
really
try
to
focus
on
we've
actually
taken
a
stop.
This
offseason
and
we're
peeling
back
the
layers
on
everything
we
do
related
to
our
customer.
After
three
years.
We
wanted
to
make
sure
that
policies
hadn't
evolved
in
a
way
that
that
didn't
have
the
original
intention.
AF
AF
They
have
a
regular
job
and
then
they
come
to
help
us
on
game
nights,
and
so
we
want
to
define
for
them
what
the
customer
service
element
means
and
they
have
such
a
great
impact
on
people's
experience
at
the
ballpark,
and
we
want
them
to
be
problem
solvers
and
we
want
them
to
use
the
principles
of
Disney
University
and
helping
create
a
great
customer
experience
here
at
our
ballpark
as
well,
and
we
try
to
look
to
add.
There's
great
fan
amenities
also.
AF
So
the
the
game
program
we
print
that
every
night
overnight,
so
it's
got
updated
stats.
It
has
a
new
cover.
It
has
more
information
about.
What's
going
on
tonight's
games,
so
that
baseball
being
a
leisure
sport,
people
get
the
opportunity
to
kind
of
page
through
and
see
what
it
is
that
the
player
that
just
hit
the
homerun
is
he
on
his
way
up,
or
is
he
on
the
way
down,
get
some
more
information
about?
AF
What's
going
on
there,
the
entertainment
element,
you
know
entertainments
in
our
lifeblood,
it's
in
our
blood,
our
organization,
man
delayed,
has
the
film
and
TV
studios,
and
so
we
really
look
at
the
entertainment
as
an
opportunity
for
72
nights
out
of
the
year.
Every
inning
break
gives
us
a
chance
to
really
do
something
that
makes
it
fan
friendly,
there's
not
enough
baseball
fans
in
Oklahoma
City
to
fill
the
ballpark
day
in
a
day
out.
AF
So
we've
got
our
our
mascots
and
we've
got
our
entertainment
crew
and
then
occasionally
we'll
bring
in
some
outside
Talent
the
top
right.
There's
the
superstars,
which
they
do
a
great
job,
they'll
come
through
twice
a
year.
It's
the
combination
of
an
athlete
and
an
animal.
They
make
a
big
character
out
of
it.
So
you'll
see
manatee,
Ramirez
and
hairy
canary
jr.
up
there,
but
it
actually
ends
up
being
really
fun
for
the
adults
as
well.
And
so
that's
that's.
The
critical
thing
is.
AF
We
want
grandfathers,
fathers
and
children
all
to
be
enjoying
the
experience
at
the
ballpark
when
they're
out
there
being
of
all
the
community
is
critical
and
we
understand
that
we
have
an
important
role
to
play
in
in
the
quality
of
life
in
Oklahoma
City.
So
beyond
just
the
Redhawks
baseball
games.
We
have
a
number
of
other
baseball
events.
We've
got
the
bedlam
series,
we
hosted
two
events.
Last
year
we
had
the
big
12
baseball
championship
once
again,
so
we
had
eight
schools
from
across
the
region
come
through.
AF
So
last
year
we
had
29
different
high
school
baseball
games
that
we
play
basically
all
in
the
month
of
March
at
the
ballpark
high
schools
are
able
to
utilize
group
tickets
that
we
have
to
to
fundraise
in
their
own
community
and
then
that
gives
them
the
opportunity
to
play
a
game
at
the
ballpark.
So
for
those
that
go
don't
go
on
to
college
athletics
or
professional
athletics,
it's
really
the
pinnacle
of
their
career,
to
be
able
to
get
out
on
that
field
and
and
have
what
is
you
know,
the
great
manicured
field?
AF
We
produce
it
just
like
a
regular
baseball
game,
so
we've
got
to
walk
up
music
and
the
camera.
Crews
are
there
and
it
becomes
just
a
truly
great
experience
for
those
for
those
students
and,
as
you
can
see,
with
58
high
schools
participating
they're
coming
from
all
over
the
state
which
is
critical
to
getting
people
to
the
to
the
area
and
they'll
come
for
their
game,
and
then
they
come
back
later
in
the
season
for
the
Red
Hawks
game,
as
they
have
some
sort
of
spirit
night
other
items
we
actually
were
really
blessed.
AF
The
the
my
early
baseball
community
really
rallied
around
Oklahoma
City,
and
when
we
had
our
weather
in
May,
there
was
a
15
for
15
initiative
which
minor
league
baseball
charities
had
about
50
to
51.
Other
baseball
teams
chose
to
give
a
portion
of
their
online
merchandise
sales
into
a
fund.
That
then,
was
donated
to
the
American
Red
Cross
here
locally,
the
Pacific
Coast
League,
the
league
that
were
a
part
of
also
donated
a
portion
of
some
funds
raised,
and
then
we
worked
with
one
of
our
partner
organizations.
AF
The
Omaha
storm
chasers,
one
of
the
fun
things
about
Marling
baseball
is,
if
you
want
to
make
a
statement
or
do
something
unique.
You
usually
change
your
jerseys,
so
there
was
a
there's,
an
idea
that
they
brought
to
us.
Now
you
can
see
in
the
top
right
there
we
wore
jerseys
that
we
are
Oklahoma
they
wore
jerseys.
That
said,
we
support
Oklahoma.
We
wore
them
here
for
a
game.
AF
We
wore
them
up
an
Omaha
for
a
game
and
we
recruited
Tulsa
and
one
of
their
opponents
to
do
the
same,
so
we
had
four
different
teams
doing
this
in
different
markets,
all
the
teams
auctioned
off
their
jerseys
and
raised
some
additional
funds
that
went
to
the
American,
Red
Cross,
so
a
great
way
to
kind
of
continue
the
efforts
that
went
all
the
way
into
August.
To
make
sure
we
were
continuing
to
talk
about
the
troubles
that
went
on
in
in
in
May.
AF
AF
We
have
the
the
public
sessions
and
the
private
sessions
which
give
us
the
the
private
opportunities
for
churches
and
and
business
organizations
to
do
their
holiday
event,
which
is
which
is
always
a
fun
way
to
do
it.
Other
things
that
we
have
end
up
hosted.
We
have
a
number
of
nonprofit
walks.
We
have
charity
events
that
go
on
at
the
ballpark
seemingly
all
year
long
and
we
have
a
number
of
those
those
nonprofit
blocks
that
occur
in
September
and
October
this
year.
AF
We
also
had
the
March
of
Dimes
headliners
Bank
banquet
that
occurred
on
the
field
on
the
infield,
so
that
was
a
really
fun
undertaking
to
be
able
to
do
that
to
raise
funds
for
the
March
of
Dimes,
but
it
gives
us
a
great
cross-section
of
impacting
so
many
of
these
different
organizations
as
they
come
to
the
downtown
core.
They
come
to
brick
town
and
want
to
utilize
the
ballpark.
Is
there
their
home
base
for
doing
some
of
these
events?
AF
They'll
come
a
blood
drive
has
become
a
blood
Institute
blood
drive
has
become
one,
that's
become
an
annual
event
right
on
July
4th
time.
We
get
people
to
think
about
donating
blood
at
a
time
of
year
that
they
don't
normally
do
that,
of
course,
the
pancake
breakfast,
which
is
a
great
way
to
really
kick
off
the
the
fundraising
campaign
for
United
Way
this
past
year.
We
try
to
look
at
different
ways:
every
offseason
to
introduce
new
things
to
the
ballpark.
AF
We
really
focused
on
some
of
the
wayfinding
signage,
as
well
as
some
of
the
exterior
signage
at
the
ballpark.
This
year
gave
us
an
opportunity
to
freshen
it
up,
ballpark
being
built
in
1998.
It
was
time
to
refresh
some
of
those
different
signs
within
the
ballpark
and
make
the
experience
better
for
those
that
those
guests
that
were
coming
out,
whether
it
be
for
the
first
time
or
the
hundredth
time.
AF
We
also
introduced
some
new
food
items
and
then
had
an
all
inclusive
element
up
in
our
club
for
businesses
that
were
looking
to
entertain
reward
employees
build
new
business.
They
were
able
to
utilize
some
seats
up
on
the
club
level
to
do
that.
Moving
forward
this
year,
we've
we've
invested
in
some
new
concourse
digital
displays.
That'll
happen
this
offseason
going
into
April
11th,
as
well
as
transitioning,
some
of
our
seating
in
the
lower
bowl
into
a
better
seating
option
for
for
our
fans.
So
we're
excited
to
continue
to
keep
things
fresh
ball
park.
AF
We
have
a
unique
opportunity
to
really
be
a
platform
for
so
many
businesses
that
want
to
be
involved
in
the
community,
and
so
we
look
at
the
the
opportunity
to
to
benefit
our
community.
Using
these
partnerships
is
something
that's
important
to
us.
The
Astros
is
our
parent
affiliate
come
through
every
first
quarter
every
year
they
were
just
recently
in
town,
so
it
gives
us
an
opportunity
to
interact
with
some
of
our
fans,
but
also
hospital
visits.
AF
Do
some
youth
baseball
clinics
do
a
number
of
things
throughout
the
community
in
what
is
a
short
period
of
time,
but
we
try
to
maximize
that
our
national
anthem,
tryouts
are
coming
up
here.
Soon
we
go
to
Penn
Square
Mall.
We
get
over
250
people
the
opportunity
to
audition
to
sing
a
national
anthem
at
the
ballpark,
so
some
of
you
may
receive
the
opportunity
to
be
a
judge
if
you,
if
you
have
that
American
Idol
in
you
and
want
to
be
able
to
participate
here
coming
up
soon,
Cooper's
healthy,
Hawks
Cooper.
AF
Our
mascot
helps
us
with
the
opportunity
to
get
into
some
of
the
schools
and
talk
about
healthy
living,
healthy
lifestyle.
Our
strength
and
conditioning
coach
gives
us
it
gives
the
students
some
some
unique
skills
that
they
can
take
home
with
them.
Some
of
those
things
are
very
easy
to
implement,
so
we're
able
to
be
out
in
the
community
and
do
that
our
home
run
for
Life
program
with
Integris
gives
us
opportunity
about
one
time
a
month
to
celebrate
a
great
recovery.
AF
That's
someone
that's
overcome
a
unique
illness
or
something
that
was
that
could've
been
devastating
their
life.
They
are
had
now,
however,
recovered
from
that,
and
they
get
a
chance
to
in
the
third
inning
step
up
to
the
plate,
take
a
swing
and
run
around
the
bases
and
celebrate
their
their
their
home
run
for
life,
which
is
something
that's
that's
really
impactful.
It
gets
all
9000
people
up
on
their
feet.
AF
In
partnership
with
Devon
Energy,
we
have
a
Military
Appreciation
program,
we're
working
with
families
on
every
game,
doing
behind-the-scenes
tours
for
families
that
may
have
a
loved
one
deployed.
We
take
the
opportunity
to
nights
out
of
the
season
to
really
do
a
full
ballpark
centric
focus
on
military
and
every
inning
break.
AF
We
might
do
some
things,
such
as
a
swearing-in
ceremony
or
welcome
back
those
that
just
came
back
from
deployment
recognizing
a
Purple
Heart
recognizing
any
of
the
fans
and
attendants
that
served
or
had
a
family
member
that
served
so
the
Hometown
Heroes
program
is
really
one.
That's
that's
really.
That's.
That's
really
important
in
this
community
and
Chesapeake
has
given
us
the
opportunity
to
reckon
to
your
recognize
volunteerism
in
the
community,
so
our
community
all-stars
program
there.
You
see
an
example.
AF
First
see
a
couple
of
volunteers,
husband,
wife
team,
that
volunteer
a
lot
of
first
tee
and
we
brought
them
out
middle
of
the
game
and
gave
this
a
chance
to
raise
some
more
awareness
to
what
that
program
is.
It
was
one
of
five
that
we
did
last
year
as
well
as
thanked
them
for
their
service,
and
then
we
have
a
three
other
programs
that
focus
on
on
the
sport
of
baseball
itself.
So
we're
able
to
do
baseball
clinics
for
children.
We
have
over
500
kids,
participate
in
that
last
year.
AF
Our
baseball
buddies
program
where
kids
get
to
run
out
onto
the
field
with
the
players
as
they're
being
introduced
before
the
game
hurts.
His
Grand
Slam
mission
is
a
program
that
we
really
focus
on
helping
coaches
coach,
helping
those
that
maintain
the
fields
do
so
through
the
expertise
of
our
coaches
and
our
groundskeeper,
and
then
building
baseball
itself
in
the
inner
cities
and
so
doing
some
youth
clinics
with
different
teams,
and
that
Grand
Slam
mission
has
really
taken
off
over
the
last
three
years.
AF
Finally,
we
talked
a
little
bit
about
baseball.
The
team
on
the
field
did
really
really
well.
They
actually
had
the
best
record
since
2008
had
82
wins
this
past
year,
so
we
were
provided
some
great
players
and
some
great
talent
on
the
field
for
those
that
were
coming
out
and
keeping
score
and
truly
playing
attention
to
the
wins
and
losses.
It
was
a
fun
year
for
for
people
to
be
to
be
Redhawks
fans
this
past
year,
and
with
that
it
gives
me
an
opportunity
to
thank
you.
AF
I
have
a
unique
experience
with
30
peers
in
triple-a
across
the
country,
and
16
in
our
league.
I
have
an
understanding,
an
appreciation
that
not
all
the
other
teams
have
such
a
great
relationship
with
their
city
and
works
so
closely
with
them,
so
truly
value
the
the
relationship
we
have
with
the
council
with
city
manager's
office
and
the
staff
and
mayor
and
looking
forward
to
a
great
year
moving
into
2014
as
April
11th
is
our
opening
day.
AF
V
Have
a
coming
up
I
deal
regularly
with
Hill
Comus,
a
public
school
system
and
their
athletic
director,
and
he
cannot
say
enough
for
the
cooperation
and
help
at
Oklahoma
State
public
schools,
baseball
programs
have
received.
You
know,
they're
very
challenged,
most
of
them
inner-city
kids,
a
lot
of
never
played
baseball,
don't
have
a
bad,
don't
ever
glove,
don't
have
anybody,
baseballs
kind
of
lost
its
magic
for
inner-city
kids,
I,
think
and
and
that
helped
it
really
been
appreciated
and
I
want
to.
Thank
you
it
too,
because
it's
a
big
deal
to
me
personally.
V
AF
K
David
I'd
like
to
compliment
the
Redhawks
organization.
You
know
it
truly
is
probably
as
good
of
a
family
event
as
you'll
find,
and
you
can't
say
that,
with
all
sporting
events,
sometimes
you
hear
bad
language
being
expressed
among
the
fans
and
I
just
have
an
experience
that
it's
a
great
time
and
it's
truly
a
great
family
experience
and
you've
got
a
great
set
of
pictures
on
that
one
level
in
the
club
area
or
something
some
great
historical
pictures
and
I
would
just
encourage
you
to
try
to
expand
that.
K
There's
a
group
that,
when
Jackie
Robinson
came
in
to
play
an
exhibition
game
that
group
of
players
is
still
there's
a
picture
in
there
max
Nichols,
who
used
to
be
with
the
journal
record
here,
was
a
bat
boy
when
Jackie
played
and
has
some
great
memories
and
wrote
a
great
story
about
that
opportunity.
So
you've
got
some
great
photographs
and
hopefully
they
can
just
keep
growing
in
number
and
maybe
expand
it
to
some
of
the
great
high
school
and
college
players
who
have
gone
on
to
play
in
the
majors.
A
Z
Hi,
my
name
is
Yasiin
atari
I'll,
even
3551
Northwest
22nd
Street
by
the
end
of
October
2013.
Last
year,
I
was
approved.
My
SP
idea
with
some
special
licenses
and
I
came
up
to
a
dead
end
and
the
reason
today,
I'm
I
would
like
to
request
the
city
to
cancel
my
speedy
I'm
here.
To
say
to
summarize
the
story
of
12
months
work
just
to
summarizes
as
much
as
I
can.
Z
The
reason
I
want
to
cancel
my
SPD's
because
miss
it
was
just
mainly
taken
away
from
me
for
the
past
twelve
months.
I
worked
very
hard
on
this
project.
It
was
a
dream
project
also
excited
to
finish
it
and
design.
It
I
started
from
day
one
my
program,
my
plans
from
A
to
Z
the
first
time.
I
chose
this.
This
land
is
vacant
land.
Z
Z
So
I
was
required
by
the
seventh
floor
to
submit
phase
3
and
phase
three
takes
quite
a
bit
of
time
and
money
which
I
was
I,
was
fixing
to
do
it
anyway
and
with
multiple
meetings
with
mr.
adhere
and
mr.
Blanchet.
Oh
there
was
city
engineers,
they
decided
they're
gonna
do
Phase
three
and
he's
gonna
take
the
next
few
weeks,
maybe
another
month
to
be
finished.
Z
While
me
working
on
this,
my
contract
is
expired
with
the
seller
and
and
the
realtor
she
made
some
phone
calls
and
there
is
some
two
buyers.
They
were
really
interested
to
my
in
my
speedy
and
everything
else,
because
I
was
cheering
everything
with
with
the
seller.
My
plans,
everything
so
two
buyers.
They
were
very
interested
and
they
brought
Haven
cash,
a
check
on
the
table
and
one
of
them
brought
cash.
So
I
was
little
little
bit
under
pressure
between
the
buyer
and
between
the
seller.
I'm
in
the
middle
I
was
everything.
Z
I
did
everything
from
the
beginning
and
all
the
reason
I
didn't
want
to
close
on
the
property
just
because
of
the
years
that
you
hold
on
because
we
have
to.
We
cannot
even
submit
our
construction
plans,
we
have
to
make
it
developable
first
and
we
cannot
develop
it.
We
can
develop
half
of
it,
which
is
the
back,
but
the
back
there
is
railroad.
So
we
have
no
entrance
on
the
front
is
the
main
thing
in
order
for
us
for
us
right
now
to
develop
it.
Z
We
have
to
fill
the
ground
with
four
feet
and
three
inch,
which
is
more
than
half
million
dollar
work.
So
it's
not
even
worth
it.
The
reason
here
today,
I
just
came
here:
I,
would
like
to
cancel
I
did
everything
from
the
beginning
and
I
would
like
to
cancel
my
licenses.
There
are
special
licenses
I
passed
through
the
Planning
Commission
twice.
It
was
very
hard
meeting
for
me
too
many
questions
I
had
to
it
was
detailed
plans,
detailed
pictures.
Everything
would
detail
to
many
questions.
Z
I
passed
everything
and
I
I
see
this
project
is
just
gonna.
You
want
to
be
done,
I,
try
to
finish
it.
I
I
offered
so
many
things
to
the
soda
buyer,
even
paying
him.
If
there
is
any
problem,
he
can
pay
me
back,
but
still
does
not
work.
That
way.
Some
other
people
they
really
interested
in
my
licenses
and
I
worked
for,
which
is
past
12
months.
You
can
just
come
and
prepare
on
these
licenses.
You
have
to
have
background
education.
You
have
to
be
certified,
you
have
to
be.
Z
You
have
to
have
at
least
ten
year
15
years.
Experience
on
this
field.
Recycling
is
very,
very
good
business,
but
can
be
very
helpful
if
you
cannot
do
it
right
earlier.
I
was
in
the
back
and
I
heard
the
lawyers
they
were
talking
about
the
guys,
the
recycling,
the
other
one
is
wrong.
Anyway,
they
have
to
deploy
the
airbag.
The
apply
again
needs
to
be
deployed
before
the
car
can
be
crushed.
They
have
to
know
where
the
mercury
is,
but
most
of
the
guys
they
don't
do
it
right.
Z
My
business
was
a
late
mobile
business
here
in
city
of
Oklahoma
City.
There
is
only
three
businesses
that
are
doing
it
right,
the
Royals.
They
are
doing
it
way
way
wrong.
They
don't
apply
with
Federal
Regulations.
There
is
the
EPA.
There
is
the
Department
DEQ
Department
of
Environment
Court
here
in
Oklahoma,
and
of
course
there
is
the
city
code
and
city
regulations.
Z
The
Planning
Commission
was
very
happy
with
my
plans
with
everything
the
zoning
was
very
happy.
They
reviewed
my
plans,
they
reviewed
my
program,
which
is
almost
was
a
book
and
it
was
I,
wrote
it
myself
and
detailed,
and
this
project
I
was
working
with
multiple
people
on,
as
my
engineer
was
involved,
my
architect,
my
surveyor
and
my
legal
counsel
to
make
this
project
work,
which
I
succeed
on
it.
I
just
came
up
to
a
thing
that
is
out
of
my
control.
My
engineer
is
legacy
engineering.
He
did.
Z
The
C
were
pumped
there,
so
he
was
familiar
with
the
area
and
SRB
they
constructed
that
they
were
constructed
for
the
designer
of
the
channel.
So
two
engineering
companies
and
my
engineer
had
a
very
good
relationship
with
SRB
or
either
with
the
with
the
seventh
floor,
and
we
were
on
communication
up
till
last
week
and
likely
I
was
fixing
to
do
the
study
and
it
just
we
get
away.
It
is
out
of
my
control
and
the
sellers
done
in
extreme
pressure
to
sell
the
property
to
other
buyers.
Z
They
you
know
before
nobody
was
interested
at
the
property.
I
was
like
negotiating
for
four
months.
Nobody
will
work
into
a
property
does
have
no
paper,
and
now
they
found
everything
ready
and
they
just
want
to
do
it
if
I
was
the
seller
is
unfaithful
business
for
me
to
do
it
like
that
if
I
was
a
buyer,
it's
unethical
for
me
to
walk
into
something
I
see
somebody
will
for
for
12
months,
so
I'm
here
in
front
of
the
City
Council.
Today
it's
something
I
did
from
the
beginning.
Z
AG
My
name
is
Meryl
along
the
address
of
the
sinner
is
1415
North,
East
23rd,
which
will
just
east
of
the
governor
mentioned
between
Kate
and
funk
she'll
I'm
here
this
morning,
because
we
started
partnership
with
Langston
University
on
a
community
garden,
which
is
very
much
needed
in
that
area.
With
health
issue
with
eating,
we
did
the
fence
the
gartner.
Last
year
this
year
the
Eagle
Scouts
came
out
and
thought
they
will
put
a
fence
around
the
garden,
because
we
have
a
lot
of
stray
dogs.
AG
They
go
in
and
tear
up
the
garden
and
everything
well
on
February
9th
I
was
cited
for
the
fence
because
they
said
they
had
gotten
a
I
guess,
a
concern
called
being
on
the
fence
that
someone
in
the
community
wanted
to
fence
Daniel
the
physicists
within
the
legal
right
of
the
property.
It's
not
coming
out
to
the
street.
It's
not
going
behind
our
property
line.
I
do
have
a
join
of
the
picture.
I
would
give.
AG
Itto
Scout
took
their
time
after
school
and
on
weekends
to
build
that
picket
fence
around
the
garden.
Not
only
did
they
take
they
time
and
the
energy
to
do
that,
but
that
you
say
all
money
to
purchase
supplies
for
the
fence
to
go
around
the
garden.
Last
year
we
have
a
food
pantry
that
we
used
to
garden
for,
and
last
year
we
fed
over
5000
plus
individual.
AG
With
the
help
other
garden.
We
are
a
non-profit,
501,
C
organization.
We
receive
no
federal
state,
no
city
funding,
we
work
through
networking
and
through
my
funds
the
pantry
is
fun,
is
by
some
partners
to
help
us,
but
most
of
the
things
in
that
Food
Pantry.
They
go
out
to
the
community.
It's
funded
by
myself,
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
Northeast
resource
center
petition,
my
city
counselor
John
Pettis.
But
if
you
would
take
a
look
at
the
picket
fence,
come
out
and
take
a
look
at
the
garden
I
think
it's
within
their
rights.
AG
We
don't
have
the
money
to
hire
architect
to
draw
the
plans.
I
have
done
everything
every
footwork
that
I
can
do
to
try
to
find
what
the
city
is
requiring
me
to
do
so,
get
an
architect
to
draw
that
plan,
I'm
looking
at
three
hundred
plus
dollars
and
the
be
honest
with
the
organization
not
being
funding,
we
just
don't
have
that
kind
of
money,
but
the
health
issue
in
that
area.
This
garden
is
very
much
needed.
Marilyn.
A
Wants
to
let
us
work
on
this
issue
a
little
bit:
okay,
okay,
we
need
some
more
information.
We
can
tell
your
heart's
in
the
right
place
and
it
sounds
like
you
were
trying
to
do
it,
the
good,
the
right
thing
and
let
us
figure
out
what
we
can
do
it
having
help?
Okay,
okay,
thank
you
all
right!
Thanks.
We
have
executive
session,
we'll
be
back.
