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
program
for
October
2015
in
this
first
segment.
We're
going
to
learn
what's
new
at
the
Oklahoma
City
Zoo
and
jennifer
diaz
de
agostini
is
here
she's
the
director
of
the
veterinary
services.
Yes,.
A
I,
don't
think
a
lot
of
people
in
Oklahoma
City
realized
this
new
opportunity.
You've
opened
up
for
them
so
rather
than
me,
try
to
introduce
it
and
explain
what
it
is.
Let's
just,
let's
just
hear
it
from
you.
What
is
this
new
opportunity
out
there,
but
that
has
to
do
with
veterinarians
and
the
zoo?
Well,.
B
We're
very
excited
to
present
the
new
john
kirkpatrick
Animal
Hospital.
This
has
been
a
project
we've
been
working
on
for
the
past
four
to
five
years
and
finally,
it's
complete
and
it's
now
open
to
the
public.
It's
our
new
veterinary
hospital
and
the
most
unique
aspect
of
it
is
that
all
of
the
visitors
to
the
zoo
can
come
in
and
they
get
a
really
good
view
into
all
of
the
rooms
and
everything
that
the
veterinarians
are
doing.
Yes,.
B
We
have
quite
a
large
collection
of
animals
and
we
have
a
staff
of
three
veterinarians.
Two
technicians
and
an
assistant-
and
all
we
do
is
take
care
of
the
animals
at
the
zoo,
and
so
visitors
might
get
to
see
anything
from
just
a
simple
toenail
trim
on
a
bird
to
a
very
complicated
surgery
on
a
large
animal.
Well,.
A
You
know
what
up
when
a
medical
doctor
goes
to
school,
he
learns
how
to
treat
humans
and
but
a
veterinarian
I
mean
that
there's
no
end
to
the
to
the
number
of
species
that
that
might
come
before
them
with
it
with
an
issue.
How
does
a
veterinarian
you
learned
to
deal
with
such
a
wide
variety
of
animals?
Well,.
B
B
It's
really
a
little
bit
of
trial
and
error.
You
know
we
take
what
we
know
from
dogs
and
cats
and
other
domestic
animals,
and
we
translate
that
to
animals
that
are
similarly
related.
So
a
tiger
you
know
we
would
treat
basically
like
a
domestic
cat
as
much
as
possible,
and
then
you
know
each
animal
has
its
own.
You
know
special
unique
thing
that
we
learn
about
as
we
go
along
well.
B
We
have
a
very
close
network
of
veterinarians
in
the
zoos
across
North
America
and
even
in
Europe
and
other
countries,
and
we
share
information
readily
and
we
have
a
lot
of
ways
of
doing
that
through
conferences
and
through
email
list
serves,
and
things
like
that.
So
we
share
information
all
the
time,
which
is
very
helpful.
Alright,.
A
Now
that
we've
established
our
doctors
know
what
they're
doing
yeah,
let's,
let's
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
visitors
to
the
zoo
and
how
they
interact
with
this
facility,
I
mean
they're
not
standing
on
the
outside.
Looking
at
it,
they
get
to
go
in
and
actually
watch
whatever
might
be
happening
inside
the
hospital.
On
that
particular
day,
yeah.
B
It's
going
to
be
I,
think
really
exciting
and
interesting.
We're
really
hoping
that
this
will
be
a
great
new
educational
opportunity
for
our
guests
when
they
come
to
the
zoo,
it's
sort
of
a
whole
different
level.
You
know
people
really
like
to
get
that
feeling
that
they're,
seeing
behind
the
scenes
and
and
truly
what
they're
seeing
at
the
hospital
is
behind
the
scenes,
work
and
everything
that
we're
doing.
We
have
huge
picture
windows
into
all
of
our
operating
rooms
and
exam
rooms,
and
people
will
get
to
see
everything
that
we're.
A
A
B
B
B
It's
I'm
free
with
zoo
admission
and
any
age
is
welcome
to
come
in.
We
certainly
know
that
some
people,
if
you're
a
little
bit
squeamish
around
medical
procedures.
You
might
want
to
take
a
little
bit
of
caution,
but
we
do
have
nice
seating.
You
have
to
watch.
If
you
don't
want
to.
We
have
a
lot
of
educational
opportunities
as
well
computer
stations
where
the
kids
can
actually
interact
and
work
through
a
veterinary
case.
Just
like
the
veterinarians
would
do.
B
A
B
We
have
a
lot
of
things
going
on
this
fall.
Of
course,
one
of
our
biggest
events
is
haunt
the
zoo,
so
we're
in
full
preparation
mode
right
now
for
haunt
the
zoo,
and
we
can't
wait
for
the
kids
to
come
out
and
their
Halloween
costumes
and
trick
or
treater
on
the
zoo,
and
you
know
we're
hoping
for
really
great
weather,
and
we
just
have
a
lot
of
really
cool
things
happening
when.
A
B
B
You
know
we
we
do
have
some
new
animals
coming.
Most
of
them
are
animals
that
we
already
have
in
the
collection,
but
we're
bringing
more
in
you
know
we
unfortunately
lost
our
last
swift
fox
on
exhibit
just
due
to
age
related
issues.
We
had
a
geriatric
group
so
we're
going
to
get
some
new
swift
foxes
in
we're
going
to
get
a
new
male
red
panda,
which
we're
very
excited
to
pair
with
our
female
red
panda.
Hopefully
have
babies
again.
So
we
have
a
lot
going
on.
B
B
D
B
B
A
Asset
to
the
zoo
and
I
know,
a
lot
of
people
are
going
to
enjoy
the
new
veterinarian
opportunities
get
out
there
and
if
you
can
handle
squeamish
opportunities,
get
to
watch
some
very
exotic
animals,
the
one
with
a
knife
and
then
and
and
watch
our
veterinarians
perform
that
the
services
that
they're
so
good
at.
Thank.

E
A
Welcome
back
to
the
mayor's
magazine,
I'm
Mick
Cornett,
the
mayor
of
Oklahoma
City
and
in
this
segment
we're
going
to
talk
about
disability
month
because
you
may
not
know
but
October
is
disability
month
and
we
have
a
mayor's
committee
on
disability
concerns
and
we
have
the
current
chair
and
the
chair
emeritus
with
us
today.
So
on.
My
left
is
Sidna
Madden.
She
is
the
current
chair
and,
of
course,
Pam
Henry
longtime
friend
is
our
chair.
Emeritus
welcome
both
of
you
to
the
mayor's
magazine,
Thank.
A
D
In
my
job
and
working
with
people
with
disabilities,
I
get
to
travel
a
lot
and
go
and
experience
other
cities
and
really
get
to
see
how
far
Oklahoma
City
has
come
compared
to
other
cities,
attitude
and
wise
and
accessibility,
wise
and
we've.
Actually,
our
heads
above
some
of
the
other
places
that
I
visited
that
makes
me
really
proud
to
go
and
see
architectural
wise,
our
building
design,
we're
really
ahead
of
a
lot
of
the
other
places
that
I
get
to
go
and
visit.
So
that
makes
me
very
proud.
Yeah.
A
And
and
Pam
you've
been
very
involved
in
the
sidewalk
construction
and
you
don't
have
to
be
in
Oklahoma
City,
very
long
to
see
a
sidewalk
being
built
somewhere.
I
mean
they're,
going
up
all
over
town
and
I
see
the
smile
on
your
face
already.
Just
just
thinking
about
it.
Cuz
you've
been
so
involved
on
the
maps.
Sidewalk
Oversight,
Committee,
sidewalks.
C
People
with
disabilities
want
to
go
to
work.
You
won't
find
a
person
with
a
disability
who
doesn't
want
a
job,
but
surveys
show
that
transportation
is
the
number
one
problem
in
getting
to
work.
Every
bus
in
Oklahoma
City
is
disability
accessible,
but
you
have
to
be
able
to
get
to
the
bus
stop
and
that
takes
a
sidewalk.
I
live
off
the
northwest
expressway.
You
cannot
and
should
not
take
a
wheelchair
on
the
northwest
expressway.
A
I
keep
running
into
people
who
say
you
know.
I
saw
you
building
that
sidewalk
in
my
neighborhood
and
I
thought
nobody's
ever
going
to
walk
on
that
sidewalk
and
then
soon
as
it
opened
up,
they
saw
people
walking,
and
indeed
you
know
it.
People
people
were
hoping
and
needed
them,
even
if
they
didn't
know
it.
That's.
A
C
It
has
and
I
come
down.
You
appointed
me
to
that
Oversight
Committee
on
the
sidewalks
which
thrilled
me
to
death
and
I
park
in
a
city
parking
garage
and
then
make
my
way
over
to
420.
Main,
Street
and
I
have
a
sidewalk
and
there
are
curb
cuts
and
it's
very
safe,
and
even
while
there
was
construction,
there
was
a
way
for
me
to
get
to
420
West
Main
safely
to
get
to
those
committee
meetings
and
I
can
just
zip
all
over.
C
A
D
A
We
talked
a
lot
about
what
the
public
sector
is
done,
but
the
private
sector
has
done
a
lot
to
can
you
can
you
mention
some
businesses
and
mention
them
by
name
that
you
think
have
had
been
at
the
forefront
of
making
sure
that
their
facilities
were
accessible
or
also,
you
know,
architectural
firms
that
seemed
to
be?
You
know
enlightened
and
realize
there's
a
market
out
there
for
these.
These
needs
well.
C
We
give
an
award
every
year
to
what
we
call
the
clearing
the
path
award,
and
this
is
this
is
our
new
thing
that
we're
taking
up
is
making
homes
accessible.
So,
yes,
the
Devon
building
the
Chesapeake
buildings,
all
of
the
new
anything
built
since
1990
by
federal
law,
is
going
to
be
accessible,
but
these
companies
go
beyond
what
they
had
to
do.
C
C
We
do

October
the
27th
and
you
can

A
D
Hold

same

it's
an
all-day

same

Yes,

Disabilities
Act,
it's
a
special
session
where
it's
tailored
towards
architects,
engineers,
building
building
managers,
facility
designers,
I
bring
in
a
national
speaker
every
year,
so
I've
got
to
kind
of
get
beyond
that.
C
Hello

Pam
Henry,
chair
of
the
mayor's

and

2849
or
TDD
297
2020
to

more
or
visit.
A
A
F
F
You
know,
as
you
will
remember,
it's
been
we're
sitting
here
in
the
viewers
are
watching
this
in
October,
which
means
that
it's,
the
10th
anniversary
of
tip-off,
came
in
late
October
to
2005,
but
the
the
story
began.
I'll.
Give
you
a
little
credit
first
thing:
you
don't
have
to
take
it
yourself,
but
what
was
really
so
visionary
on
your
part
was
in
early
two
thousand
and
five
ten
ten
years
and
six
months
ago
you
went
to
see
it's
just
the
weirdest
show.
C
F
A
It
was
a
it
was
a
little
bit
of
framework
there.
You
know
New
Orleans
is
in
peril
and
and
I
don't
think
people
realize
now
just
how
inundated
cities
were
all
around
the
region
by
region.
I
mean
this
part
of
the
country
with
need.
I
mean
people
that
were
holding
conventions
in
New,
Orleans
people
that
were
doing
business
in
New
Orleans.
A
F
Think
it's
a
remarkable
thing.
You
guys
have
that
conversation
for
four
or
five
days,
you're
having
more
conversations
you're,
putting
together
some
some.
You
know
concepts
of
how
this
could
work,
but
the
whole
thing
from
that
phone
conversation
that
you
know
that
call
out
of
the
blue
till
the
announcement
of
a
press
conference
and
we've
got
names
and
logos
and
dates
and
ticket
sales
ready
to
go
was
three
weeks.
Yeah.
A
It's
mean
the
blink
of
an
eye,
and
you
know
these
things
take
years,
if
not
decades,
to
prepare
in
most
cases
but
yeah
you're
right
I
mean
the
the
season
was
upon
us
and
we
had
a
lot
of
tickets
to
sell.
We
had
to
kind
of
explain
to
our
citizens
what
this
was
all
about
and
because
no
no
city
in
american
history
had
ever
had
the
opportunity
to
have
a
tryout
for
a
major
league
team
or
to
host
a
team
on
a
temporary
basis.
A
This
was
unchartered
waters
and
we
were
all
a
little
bit
uncomfortable
with
the
you
know,
the
events
and
how
they
played
out,
because
here
was
this
natural
disaster
that
that
had
led
to
this.
You
know
fortuitous
opportunity
for
Oklahoma
City,
but
at
the
bottom
line
was
our
citizens
reacted.
Our
corporate
community
reacted
positively
and,
and
you
look
back
and
you
think
to
yourselves-
you
know
all
those
corporate
dollars
went
into
sponsorships
all
those
season.
Ticket
holders
went
down
and
put
up
their
money
and
nobody
could
have
had
this
budgeted.
A
There
wasn't
a
single
person
in
oklahoma
city
in
the
summer
of
two
thousand
five
that
was
saving
up
money
for
an
NBA
team.
Everybody
just
realized.
This
is
just
going
to
be
here
for
one
year.
This
is
a
once-in-a-lifetime
chance
to
see
all
these
NBA
teams
in
oklahoma
city-
I'm
not
going
to
you
know
blow
that
opportunity.
I'm
gonna
I'm
going
to
get
down
there
and
buy
tickets
and
it
was
just
all
so
surreal.
There
were
just
so
many
pinch
me
moments
with
that
and,
and
you
know,
III
was
I.
Was
you
know
among
them?
F
A
F
A
Retired,
that's
right!
That's
right!
I
was
before
I
had
lost
weight
right.
I
was.
I
was
very
early
in
my
in
my
in
my
first
term
as
mayor,
but
you
look
at
the
picture
of
the
Hornets.
You
know,
and
you
know,
I'm,
not
a
single
person
in
their
front
office's
is
still
there.
Surprisingly,
a
fairly
large
number
of
their
players
are
still
hanging
around
the
NBA.
A
A
And
and
I
think
I
was
talking
to
this
with
a
reporter
the
other
day
and
I
I.
Remember
the
the
idea
that
that
I
think
at
first
the
people
know
calamba
city
thought
well.
This
is
going
to
be
cool
watching
all
these
NBA
teams,
but
I,
don't
think
people
suspected
that
they
would
fall
in
love
with
the
team.
Mm-Hmm
I.
A
Don't
think
they
thought
that
New
Orleans
franchise
and
Chris
Paul
and
his
at
teammates
would
become
their
guys,
but
it
was
almost
a
due
to
a
certain
extent
kind
of
a
storybook
season
because
they
were
massive
underdogs
in
in
most
games,
but
they
started
beating
people
and
then
they
started
staging
some
fourth-quarter
comebacks
and
in
some
cases
last
second
wins
and
of
course,
that
you
know
just
increase
the
enthusiasm
and
I
you
know
by
by
December.
First
they
were
our
team.
I
mean
that's,
that's
just
kind
of
what
it
felt
like.
A
F
A
I
I
still
get
a
kick
out
of
the
stories
from
people
who
had
no
idea
the
impact
it
would
have
on
the
city.
I
think
some
of
us
that
it,
you
know,
kind
of
studied
sports
and
what
it
can
do
for
an
American
city
or
society.
You
know
kind
of
you
know
predict
that
the
really
nice
things
were
going
to
happen,
but
I
still
went
into
people
that
say
I
was
in.
You
know,
you
know,
you'll
pick
your
country,
Olivia.
A
A
Was
their
second
thought
and
after
that
instance
happened
that
that
I
needed
to
know
that
you
know
what
an
impact
it
would
have?
And
you
know
we're
also
now
raising
a
generation
of
kids
in
Oklahoma
City,
who
have
a
completely
different
expectation
of
their
home
city.
You
know
they
have
an
NBA
team,
they
have
water
in
the
river
if
they
have
a
ballpark
in
bricktown,
and
you
know
it's
just
a
completely
different
place
in
the
city
that
you
and
I
grew
up
in
yeah.
F
Yeah
I
mean
there
are
now
10
year
olds,
who
have
never
lived
a
moment
without
an
NBA
team
well
other
than
that
year,
and
there
was
a
year
and
there
in
the
middle,
but
but
but
they've
they've
known
as
to
be
a
major
league
city,
their
entire
life.
That's
pretty
remarkable
yeah!
Well
how
we
doing
on
time
weeks.
A
F
You
know,
as
you
know,
I
was
I
was
at
your
side.
I
came
in
to
the
story
a
few
months
after
the
the
arrival
of
the
Hornets,
and
then
I
was
with
you
for
the
rest
of
it,
and
I
was
obviously
observing
it.
I
began,
the
story
got
so
complicated
and
we
had
so
many
decisions
to
make.
There
were
so
many
things
going
on
lawsuits
and
what
was
going
to
happen
with
the
Hornets.
Were
they
going
to
come
back
here
again,
you
know
and
then
obviously
the
the
purchase
of
the
Sonics
by
our
local
businessman.
F
All
these
things
were
becoming
so
complicated.
I
started
to
keep
kind
of
a
timeline
just
to
aid
in
our
decision-making
like
so
we
can
kind
of
follow
the
threads
and
when
it
all
ended
and
the
Thunder
arrived
and
kind
of
the
story
came
to
a
very
happy
ending,
I
sort
of
you
know
kind
of
put
that
away
sort
of
had
a
timeline.
I
thought
this
is
a
nice
historical
record.
You
know
some
of
the
you
know,
steve
lackmeyer
grandson
will
use
this
someday.
F
This
will
be
handy
and,
and
then
you
know,
as
the
time
went
on,
I
ran
for
the
senate.
I
got
elected.
I
took
the
bar,
I
had
kids
I
mean
a
lot
of
things
happen
in
that
three
or
four
year
period,
but
eventually
I
think
settled
down
enough.
That
I
thought
you
know
I'm
a
little
surprised
that
you
know
berry,
Tramel
or
Darnell
Mayberry
hasn't
written
the
story
of
what
happened
in
a
book
form
you
know
and
I'm
guessing
nobody's
going
to
and
I
I'm
as
well
positioned
as
anybody
I
have
all
the
details.
F
I
have
certainly
all
the
public
details.
Organized
and
I
have
at
least
the
city
hall
side
of
kind
of
the
insider
perspective
and
I
wonder
if
somebody
like
Jim
Tolbert,
the
owner
of
full
circle
books,
he's
done
a
lot
of
you
know
historical
book
publishing
he
might
be
interested,
and
so
that's
what
we
did
and
yeah
it's
been.
That
was
three
years
ago
that
we
published
big
league
city.
It's
still
available
in
hard
copy
at
full
circle
books.
Here
in
Oklahoma
City.
F
A
Community
stepped
up
like
none
before
like
they
have.
You
know
throughout
our
city's
history
and
and
and
then
the
lawsuits
and
the
you
know
be
kind
of
extraction
from
Seattle,
and
then
we
had
to
run
a
campaign
to
improve
the
arena
to
get
a
long-term
lease
and,
and
so
it
was,
it
was
a
journey
like
none
other,
and
it's
like
you
could
you
can
kind
of
tell
we
were
set
up
to
succeed,
but
so
many
things
had
to
happen.
A
You
had
to
sit
back
and
kind
of,
let
things
happen
and
and
have
some
patience
and
at
the
end
of
the
day,
now
we
have
this.
You
know
this
world-class
team
and
you
know
the
fact
that
they
wins
kind
of
a
bonus.
I
mean
keeping
my
just
having
a
franchise
is
something
that
we
were
fortunate
to
have
well
now
and
I
think
we
are
out
of
time
now.
But
thanks.
F
E
Down
here
that
dog
has
a
thirsty
looking
as
I
did
you
know
that
it's
really
not
that
hard
to
save
water?
Excuse
me
find
me
on
the
streets
like
swimming
down
the
drain
and
we
heat
of
the
day
I
disappear
before
I
can
help.
So
what,
after
a
bedtime,
hey
we're
in
a
drought,
which
means
I'm
kind
of
a
big
deal,
so
save
me
really
save
me.
