A
Hello
there
and
welcome
once
again
to
the
mayor's
magazine,
I'm
Mick
Cornett,
the
mayor
of
Oklahoma
City,
and
this
is
our
first
show
of
2015.
It's
our
January
edition.
Thank
you
for
joining
us
in
our
first
show
of
the
month.
First
show
of
the
year
we're
going
to
in
urdu
interview
tom
mcdaniel.
He
is
the
chair
of
the
map
citizen
advisory
committee
Tom,
thanks
for
coming
on
glad.
A
Step
of
the
way
you
have
kind
of
been
placed
in
charge
of
these
eight
citizen
oversight
committees,
as
well
as
the
citizen
advisory
board
that
gathers
information
from
consultants
and
city
staff
and
and
charged
weighing
the
variables
and
keeping
an
eye
on
the
budget
and
reporting
all
of
that
to
the
City
Council,
so
III.
Thank
you
very
much.
I
know
the
council
appreciate
you
in
our
citizens.
If
they
follow
things
closely,
know
that
you've
you've
really
rolled
up
your
sleeves
and
gotten
into
this.
So
thanks
very
much
for
everything
you've
done.
It's.
A
B
So,
but,
but
really
that
has
caused
some
spirited
debate,
but
I
think
the
good
part
of
that
is
I
think
we
have
a
process,
that's
really
giving
a
voice
to
our
citizens
that
want
to
be
heard
about
it,
and
while
it
makes
the
process
maybe
a
little
longer
than
it
might
otherwise
be
I.
Think
it's
well
worth
it.
When
we're
spending
the
public's
money
and
as
you
well
know,
it's
the
pay-as-you-go,
so
we've
got
time
to
do
it
as
we
collect
the
money.
Well,.
A
Let's
start
talking
about
the
individual
projects,
then,
and
and
and
let's
look
forward
to
2015
to
the
extent
we
can,
let's
start
with
the
trails
and
sidewalks
I
know
that's
one
of
the
more
popular
elements
of
of
maps.
Three
and
I
think
it's
one
that
our
viewers
have
probably
seen
if
they've
driven
around
they've
seen
the
construction
they've
seen
the
signs
and
the
general
approval
is
I
think
thumbs
up.
They
really
like
the
sidewalks
coming
into
their
neighborhoods.
Well,.
B
Less
sure
been
evident
everywhere:
we've
had
a
groundbreaking
everywhere.
We've
we've
already
made
progress.
We
started
off
with
perhaps
a
little
limited
view
on
what
we
should
be
doing
on
sidewalk,
but
with
the
encouragement
of
the
council,
and
we
broaden
that
view
and
we
developed
a
plan
to
do
a
lot
of
sidewalks
as
as
money
is
available
and
so
we're
we
have
a
plan
for
the
future
for
the
sidewalks
in
our
city
and
we're
going
about
it
with
some
dispatch.
B
Those
are
actually
the
the
projects
that
are
going
up
the
fastest
and
it
has
been
very
well
received
everywhere.
We've
everywhere,
we've
gone
with
the
trails.
Those
are
those
are
projects
that
are
designed
the
maps.
Three
money
is
going
to
be
used
to
help
implement
a
plan,
a
trails
plan
that
the
city
had
in
place,
and
I
think
I
could
just
generalize
by
saying
we're
trying
to
provide
connectivity,
we're
trying
to
connect
the
divergent
trails
systems
that
existed
all
over
the
city
and,
as
a
result,
these
were
pretty
bold
undertakings
we're
now
trying
to
connect.
B
We
first
tried
to
connect
overholser
trails
with
the
with
the
west
river,
and
now
the
one
that's
been
most
recently
considered
by
the
subcommittee's
in
the
council
is
a
very
grandiose
plan
to
connect
the
hefter
lake
trails
with
the
river
and
that
crosses,
as
you
already
know,
the
northwest
highway
and
I-40.
So
it's
a
very
it's
a
very
bold
plan,
but
it's
going
to
be
great.
All.
A
B
B
A
big
part
of
the
plan
has
been
to
to
try
to
work
around
the
state
fair
so
that
it
would
not.
We
wouldn't
have
to
not
have
a
state
fair
one
year,
and
that
certainly
has
been
the
first
goal
but
fan.
But
the
fans
of
the
fair
that
show
up
next
year
will
see
a
big
undertaking,
a
great
big
Expo
building
that
will
be
generally
250,
270
thousand
square
feet
of
exhibition
space.
Alright,.
A
B
So
20
2015
will
be
the
most
significant
year
yet
on
the
on
the
senior
wellness
centers,
we
have
one
in
northwest
Oklahoma
City.
That
is
about
three
months
of
ahead
of
the
second
one,
which
is
going
to
be
in
the
near
Capitol
Hill
High,
School
plans
and
design
plans
for
both
of
those
are
in
the
offing.
We
expect
to
for
construction
to
start
in
2015
very
excited
about
it.
B
B
We
are,
we've
had
the
groundbreaking
on
the
white
water
and
it's
probably
the
centerpiece
project
of
the
of
all
of
the
river
improvements
that
will
see.
But,
yes,
we
got
that
we
got
the
lights
up,
but
I
think
in
two
thousand
15.
You
will
see
much
progress
on
on
the
whitewater
construction
will
begin.
We've
already
had
the
groundbreaking,
so
I
think
it's
going
to
be
a
big
year
on
the
river
okay.
B
The
park
is
in
many
ways
a
kind
of
a
centerpiece
of
what
we're
doing
in
maps.
It's
it's
going
to
be
something
that
literally
thousands
of
people
will
be
able
to
enjoy.
We've
acquired
all
the
property
for
the
North
element
of
the
park.
As
you
know,
the
park
is
as
bisected
by
I-40,
so
there
will
be
30
acres,
south
of
I-40
in
40
acres,
north
and
we've
acquired
all
the
property
for
the
north
part.
B
B
Also
very
exciting,
very
exciting
project
because
it's
going
to
be
on
the
new
boulevards
and
will
be
contiguous
to
the
new
park
and
will
also
be
just
across
the
street
from
the
Chesapeake
arena,
so
located
right
in
the
heart
of
a
lot
of
new
stuff
going
on
in
our
city,
and
we
we've
been
dealing
with
the
issue
of
whether
we
we
have
a
footprint
that
we
would
like
to
have
for
the
next
40
years.
Or
do
we
limit
it
to
what
we
just
have
the
money
for
today?
B
And
the
council
about
30
or
60
days
ago,
approved
the
plan
for
a
larger
footprint
and
increase
the
budget
slightly
and
so
we're
working
within
those
parameters.
But
it
looks
like
we
will
have
a
convention
center
that
will
certainly
move
us
up.
The
ranks
of
the
competition
around
the
country
and
finally,.
B
Very
exciting,
you
know
this
is
the
of
all
the
things
that
we've
ever
had.
This
is.
This
is
one
thing
that
we're
going
to
have
and
the
there
has
been
a
preliminary
framework
for
a
route.
That's
been
approved
with
the
council
always
subject
to
sing
what
I
on
changes
have
to
be
made,
but
we
we
have
a
route
and
then
in
December
we
look
for
the
first
time
at
the
possibility
of
the
of
the
cars
that
would
be
used
and
trying
to
try
to
determine.
B
A
B
Will
meet
the
expectations
of
what
we,
what
we
told
the
voters
and
I'm
really
happy
about
that
right
now,
the
the
revenues
coming
in
something
around
five
percent
ahead
of
what
the
projections
were.
It's
very
interesting
to
me,
mr.
mayor,
that
when
we
did
the
maps
one
projections,
the
projection
was
that
the
one-cent
sales
tax
would
produce
four
million
dollars
a
month.
The
projection
for
maps.
Three
is
8.3
million
dollars
a
month,
so
our
cities
got
to
be
doing
something
right.
That's
the.
B
A
A
C
The
Action
Center
is
a
central
point
of
contact
for
the
public
instead
of
having
to
worry
about
what
department
within
the
city
does
what
they
can
just
come
to
the
Action,
Center
and
report
issues
that
they
see
throughout
the
city.
What
we
do
is
take
that
information,
and
then
we
filter
it
out
to
all
the
different
city
departments
for
them
to
work.
C
Those
concerns
the
Action
Center
isn't
just
for
people
turning
to
when
they
have
a
when
they
see
a
problem
in
the
city,
I
mean
we're
actually
an
information
and
referral
center
as
well,
and
so
anytime.
They
have
questions
about
city,
services
or
city
government.
They
should
give
us
a
call,
and
we
will
be
happy
to
answer
any
question
that
they
have
or
find
out
the
information.
If
we
don't
know
it
and
certainly
get
back
to
them,.
A
A
Am
I
pronouncing
the
last
name,
Chris
I
in
an
ett,
that's
right
and
you're,
an
artist
of
not
just
local
renowned
but
about
creating
regional
interests
in
a
lot
of
really
great
public
art
projects,
and-
and
you
know
I
can
imagine
people
at
home-
saying:
okay!
Well,
let's
see
all
right
well,
let
me
show
you
one
of
these
projects
and
and
as
we
take
a
look
at
the
one
that
you've
done
on
the
didn't
down
just
south
of
brick,
town
on
the
rock
town
climbing
gym.
D
A
D
A
D
When
I,
finally,
all
the
Ducks
were
in
row,
I
go
up
to
look
at
it
and
I
thought
wow.
We've
got
to
paint
this
thing
now,
so
you
know
it
was
kind
of
a
good
thing,
because
I
I
didn't
have
any
kind
of
inherent
fear
of
the
projects.
I
didn't
know
any
better,
so
we
just
kind
of
created
a
process
as
we
went
along
now.
D
Was
yeah
it
wasn't?
It
was
a
nice
smooth
surface
part
of
the
challenge.
Was
it's
a
it's
a
series
of
silos,
seven
silos
connected
together
and
there's
a
valley,
an
intersection
with
each
siloso
leaning
in
to
that
and
getting
this
image
to
wrap
around
each
cylinder.
If
you
will
was,
it
was
a
challenge
and.
A
D
You
know
I
just
wanted
to
with
my
murals
here
in
the
state
of
Oklahoma
I
tried
to
incorporate
symbols
that
everybody
can
relate
to
and
I
started.
Thinking
and
I
was
just
I
was
kind
of
thinking
about
the
one
of
woody
guthrie
songs
and
the
words
in
at
this
land
and
I
wanted
to
create
something
that
incorporated
this
land.
It
kind
of
not
just
represent
the
city,
but
the
state
as
a
whole,
and
so.
D
A
D
Would
have
loved
to
have
been
able
to
do
that,
but
I'm
a
printmaker
by
trade
and
my
artwork
is
full
of
symmetry
and
concentric
circles
and
whatnot.
And
if
you
were
to
illuminated
it,
would
you
have
an
inherent
amount
of
distortion,
so
I
took
my
knowledge
from
printmaking
and
just
kind
of
blew
it
up
scaled
it
up
and
I
made
it
a
giant
stencil
for
this
actually
Steve
sake
of
donated
this
giant
stencil
to
this
project
it
was.
D
D
D
It
was,
it
was
quite
the
process
from
start
to
finish
technically
about
three
and
a
half
years,
we've
gotten
approval
to
move
forward
on
the
project
and
had
to
get
permitting,
and
things
like
that,
and
these
certain
issues
would
pop
up
from
time
to
time,
and
then
we
would
come
upon
winter
season,
and
so
it
happened
in
phases
all
right.
The
final
step
of
actually
applying
the
image
only
took
about
a
month,
wow.
D
D
D
Well,
currently,
right
now
I'm
working
on
another,
what
I
call
mega
mural,
I'm,
painting
it
than
Norman,
and
it's
on
the
tallest
building
on
Main
Street,
it's
the
it's
the
Vista
building
and
it's
six.
It's
about
85
foot
tall
x,
140,
foot
wide,
but
I
painted
I
got
a
project
to
the
way.
This
all
began
is
a
by
way
of
a
project
called
public
art
project
66,
where
I'm
painting
a
series
of
murals
from
border
to
border
the
state
of
Oklahoma
along
route,
66,
11,
murals
and
I
painted
three
of
those
murals.
D
D
D
D
You
learn
how
to
be
a
printmaker
and
I
went
from
that
to
owning
my
own
print
shop
and
pursuing
art
for
my
entire
working
career,
and
you
know
never
in
a
million
years
what
I've
ever
thought
that
I
would
be
painting
giant
murals,
but
as
an
artist
or
as
anyone,
you
you
you
always
you
want
to
do
something
for
the
better
good
of
mankind
and
when
I
painted
my
first
mural
created
a
piece
of
public
art.
I
realized
that
that
was
my
calling
that's.
What
I'm
here
to
do
is
to
bring
art
to
the
people.
D
It's
a
process
and
the
community
gets
to
become
engaged
with
this
process
because
it
takes
a
period
of
time
and
by
the
time
I'm
finished
with
these
they
seem
to
take
ownership
in
it
right
and
and
through
that
ownership
that
they
have
kind
of
a
renewed
sense
of
pride
in
their
community.
It's
it's
an
excellent
thing.
Do.
D
D
A
A
People
can
see
these
route
66
projects
along
route,
66
mention
up
in
tulsa
and
Christo
and
and
certainly
down
in
bricktown,
and
it's
a
massive
project
and
Rick
we're
so
grateful
I
think
you
willing
to
devote
your
life's
work
to
the
betterment
of
our
society
and
improving
the
amount
of
public
art
in
our
community
Thank
You.
Mr.
mayor,
you
bet
appreciate
it
we'll
have
more
on
the
mayor's
magazine
right
back
after
this.
