Jun 27, 2022 City Council

ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL? ALL RIGHT.

AS ALWAYS STAFF REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT.

AND TALK ABOUT NUMBER EIGHT, WHICH IS YOUR, YOUR, UH, YOUR FIRE APPARATUS.

SO WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE, OR IS THREE A WHERE THE GENTLEMEN SENT ITEMS, WE JUST PULLED UP THREE OF THEM FOR SPECIAL CONVERSATION.

UM, ANY OTHERS THAT YOU MIGHT WANT TO TALK ABOUT? YES, SIR.

CAN I ASK CHIEF NOW HE'S LOOKING AT ME LIKE, OH MY GOSH, CAN YOU COME UP

[8. Approval of Supplemental Appropriations from the Fire Public Safety Reserves for the purchase of fire apparatus; $266,254.75.]

I WANT TO CALL UP BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW HOW TOUGH IT IS TO GET VEHICLES JUST IN OUR REGULAR DAYS, BUT ESPECIALLY IN THE FIRE WORLD, WHAT WE'RE SEEING SOME PORTS OF WHAT WE'RE SAYING, BUT CHIEF, CAN YOU GIVE US A SHORT 32ND, BUT WHAT'S TAKEN PLACE.

WE'VE SEEN INFLATION IN FIRE APPARATUS, UH, VERY SIGNIFICANT, UH, ENGINES THAT WE PURCHASED TWO YEARS AGO FOR 550,000, OR ARE NOW OVER 800,000.

UM, THIS TRUCK IS NO EXCEPTION.

WE, WE WERE EXPECTING IT TO, WE ARE HOPING THEN WHEN WE WENT TO THIS CONCEPT OF ADDING AN ADDITIONAL TRUCK, UM, THAT IT WOULD COME IN AROUND A MILLION AND THAT WAS SEVERAL YEARS AGO AND THERE'S BEEN SIGNIFICANT, UH, INFLATION SINCE THAT TIME.

THE FIRST THING I DID WHEN I GOT THIS BID BACK, UM, WAS GET ON THE PHONE AND TALK TO EVERY FIRE CHIEF I COULD IN THE AREA.

AND THEY'RE ALL SEEING THE SAME THING WE TALKED TO THE MANUFACTURERS.

UM, DON'T SEE IT TURNING AROUND ANYTIME SOON.

UM, AND SO TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE.

WE NEED TO PROCEED WITH OUR PLAN.

WE'RE LOOKING AT AN 810 DAY BUILD, UM, FROM AWARD TO, TO DELIVERY.

UM, SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE TODAY TO ASK FOR ADDITIONAL MONEY THAT WE DIDN'T BUDGET, UM, FOR THAT.

SO IT WOULD GO INTO WHAT STATION, SO THIS WILL BE AN ADDITIONAL CHALK THAT W WE'LL HAVE A TRUCK THEN AT STATION ONE AND STATION TWO.

AND THIS IS PART OF OUR PLAN.

ALSO IT LOOKING AT, UM, DOWNSIZING, THE SIZE OF SOME OF OUR APPARATUS.

SO CURRENTLY WE'VE GOT COINS, WHICH IS AN ARIEL PUMPER, IF YOU WILL.

SO IT'S A PUMPER WITH A LADDER ON TOP OF IT, AND WE'VE GOT A TRUCK.

SO OUR PLAN IS TO PHASE OUT OUR QUINT AND GO WITH A SMALLER PUMPER.

UM, AND THEN WE'LL HAVE TWO AERIAL DEVICES.

SO WE'LL HAVE AN AERO DEVICE AT STATION ONE, AND WE'LL HAVE AN AREA DEVICE AT STATION TWO.

SO WE'LL BE VERY IMPORTANT IN THOSE AREAS, JUST DUE TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF DOWNTOWN AND SOME OF THESE BUILDINGS THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT GOING UP.

SO IN THE LONG RUN, THIS SHOULD STILL SAVE US, UH, ABOUT $600,000 ONCE IT'S FULLY IMPLEMENTED BY DOWNSIZING SOME OF OUR PUMPERS.

A THREE B CONSIDERATION OF ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS, AND

ALL RIGHT, COUNSEL, WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO ONE ITEM, THE GENERAL CONSENT ITEMS, 3 8, 1 THROUGH EIGHT MOTION TO APPROVE MOTION.

SECOND, SECOND, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE.

SO THOSE ITEMS ARE APPROVED.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE DISCUSSION.

NEXT ORDER.

[B. Consideration of Ordinances and Resolutions:]

[1. Public Hearing and Consideration of Ordinance No. _____________ Amending Chapter 23.20 Control of Surface Water of the Edmond Municipal Code, By Amending Section 23.20.045 Drainage Fee-in-Lieu for a revised basin area that is served by the Downtown Regional Detention Pond; And Providing For Repealer and Severability.]

ONE IS PUBLIC HEARING CONSIDERATION OF ORDINANCE NUMBER 39 0 6 39 0 6, AMENDING CHAPTER 2320 CONTROL THE SURFACE WATER OF THE EDMOND MUNICIPAL QUO, UH, MINDY BY AMENDING SECTION $23 TWENTY.ZERO FOUR FIVE DRAINAGE FEE IN LIEU FOR A REVISED BASED IN AREA THAT IS SERVED BY DOWNTOWN REGIONAL DETENTION PIE AND PROVIDING FOR REPEALER AND SEVERABILITY.

THERE IS A PRESENTATION ON THIS ONE, CORRECT? YES.

THIS IS A MAP OF THE PROPOSED AREA FOR THE FEE IN LIEU OF A DETENTION FOR THE DOWNTOWN AREA.

CURRENTLY THE BASIN WEST OR EAST OF THE RAILROAD TRACKS IS SERVED BY THE REGIONAL DETENTION POND THAT WAS BUILT MANY

[00:25:01]

YEARS AGO.

WE HAVE SIZED THE STRUCTURES UNDERNEATH THE RAILROAD TRACKS SO THAT EVERYTHING ON THIS SIDE COULD BUILD WITHOUT BUILDING DETENTION AND GET THE WATER TO THE WEST SIDE OF THE TRACKS.

AS THIS AREA IS CONTINUED TO DEVELOP.

WE LOOK FOR OPPORTUNITIES TO BE ABLE FOR THIS POND TO SERVE MORE PROPERTIES.

SO WE EVALUATED THIS POND TO DETERMINE THE CAPACITY.

DID IT HAVE MORE ROOM FOR ADDITIONAL FLOW, WHICH IT DID.

SO THIS AREA WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO GET TO DRAIN BACK TO THE POND.

SO WHAT THAT DOES IS OPEN THIS AREA UP FOR MORE DENSE DEVELOPMENT WITHOUT HAVING TO HAVE ONSITE DETENTION, AND THEY CAN USE THE DETENTION POND THAT'S ALREADY THERE.

SO THAT'S THE REASON FOR THIS, THE PIPES GOING IN THE GROUND NOW.

SO STORM SHORE IS ABOUT READY TO BE UTILIZED.

SO WE'RE READY TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS AND MAKE THAT BASE AND BIGGER.

GETTING THAT TO FLOW.

THERE WAS NO EASY TASK.

I'M SURE IT'S SO FLAT, VERY FLAT AND HAD TO UPSIZE SOME OF THE STORM SEWER TO GET IT, GET IT FLOWING.

ANY QUESTIONS? DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER, UH, AMENITIES OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT'S GOING TO BE AROUND THAT WHEN WE GET DONE WITH ALL THE CONSTRUCTION AROUND THE FET PARK, NEIL, UM, DID THE, DID THE, UH, THE TRACK AROUND IT STAY IN TAX THROUGH ALL THE CONSTRUCTION? YEAH.

WE'VE PUT A WALKING PATH.

WE HAD TO TAKE OUT SOME OF THE STORM SEWER AND SANITARY SEWER, WHICH WAS NEEDED AGAIN TO HANDLE ALL THIS NEW DEVELOPMENT, BUT YOU KNOW, THE TRACK'S STILL THERE AND THERE'S SOME ROOM OUTSIDE THE POND THAT FOR DIFFERENT THINGS THAT COULD BE UTILIZED FOR SOME SORT OF LEARNING AS LONG AS IT'S NOT IN THE BOTTOM.

VERY GOOD.

UH, ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE AUDIENCE? THIS ITEM THREE B ONE.

COUNSEL, WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO ON THIS ONE MOTION TO APPROVE THE MOTION? SECOND SECOND, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE.

NOT ITEM IS PROVES.

ONE IS THREE B TWO PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDERATION OF ORDINANCE NUMBER 49 0 7 39 0 7 AND MANY TITLE FOUR OF THE EBEN MUNICIPAL COURT CODE BUSINESS LICENSING AND REGULATIONS.

AND BY REPEALING SECTION FOUR, DOT ONE ZERO.ZERO THREE ZERO ELECTRICAL AND PROVIDING FOR REPEALER AND SEVERABILITY.

I HAVE ANOTHER PRESENTATION ON THIS ONE.

LOTS THAT THEY TAKE CARE OF.

HI, GOOD EVENING COUNCIL.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM THIS EVENING, I WILL BE SPEAKING ABOUT SPECIALTY EVENTS, BUT THOSE SPECIFICALLY RELATED TO STREET CLOSURES, UM, AS I'M SURE YOU'VE WITNESSED THROUGHOUT THE LAST 10 YEARS STREET CLOSURES AND EDMUND HAVE REALLY STARTED TO GROW AND THRIVE.

WE HAD THE INTRODUCTION OF THE HURT ON HEART EVENTS, WHICH ARE EIGHT EVENTS THAT HAPPEN EACH YEAR.

AND THEN OUR LATEST GYM BEING IN THE CYCLE 66, WHICH IS A BIKE BICYCLING TOUR ALONG ROUTE 66.

BUT IF YOU CAN THINK BACK 10 YEARS AGO, AND IMAGINE THE EVENTS THAT WE HAD, THE AMOUNT OF STREET CLOSURES THAT WE HAD FOR THOSE EVENTS, IF YOU TOOK ALL OF THE CLOSURES THAT WE DID FOR THAT ENTIRE YEAR, THAT IS THE SAME NUMBER OF CLOSURES THAT WE DID.

AND JUST A TWO MONTH TIME PERIOD LAST YEAR IN OUR PEAK SEASON.

SO HOW DO WE CLOSE THE STREETS FOR SPECIAL EVENTS? WELL, HISTORICALLY OUR CITY OF EDMOND TRAFFIC DEPARTMENT DOES IT.

THEY'RE USUALLY THE FIRST PEOPLE AT EVERY EVENT AND THE LAST PEOPLE TO LEAVE.

THEY SAID EVERY CONE AND EVERY BARRICADE AND EVERY SIGN THAT YOU SEE AT EVERY EVENT TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF THE SCOPE OF THAT, A STANDARD 5K ROUTE AND DOWNTOWN, THEY HAVE TO JUST TO HAVE TO PLACE AROUND 340 TO 400 CONES ALONG THAT ROUTE, NOT INCLUDING THE BARRICADES AND THE SIGNS, THEY PAY JUST A SMALL $300 PERMIT FEE, BUT THE CITY PROVIDES A SERVICE AS AN IN-KIND SERVICE, MEANING WE DON'T ACTUALLY CHARGE THE EVENT COORDINATORS FOR THE COST THAT WE INCUR TO CLOSE THE STREETS.

THIS WAS ESTABLISHED MANY YEARS AGO, AS A WAY FOR OUR CITY TO SUPPORT OUR EVENTS AND OUR COMMUNITY AND HELP IT, HELP THEM ESTABLISH AND GROW.

SO HOW DOES ALL OF THESE GROWING EVENTS AND EDMOND IMPACT OUR RESOURCES FOR OUR TRAFFIC DEPARTMENT? NOW ON THAT NOTE, I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE KEITH STEWART, OUR DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC SERVICES TO SPEAK ON THAT.

AND EVEN COUNCIL MAYOR, UM, THE FIELD SERVICES SUPERINTENDENT APPROACHED ME A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO WITH SOME CONCERNS ABOUT THE UPTICK IN SPECIAL EVENTS AND THE IMPACT IT WAS HAVING ON THE TRAFFIC DIVISION.

A VERY SMALL DEPARTMENT THAT REALLY THEY'RE TASKED WITH MAINTAINING ALL OF OUR TRAFFIC INFRASTRUCTURE THROUGHOUT THE CITY, WHICH THAT INCLUDES ALL THE TRAFFIC INTERSECTION, SCHOOLS, ZONE SIGNS, MARKINGS,

[00:30:01]

AND THERE'S SEVEN OF THOSE EMPLOYEES.

AND THEY ALSO DO THE THINGS THAT SARAH JUST TALKED ABOUT FOR ALL THESE SPECIAL EVENTS.

UM, AS YOU KNOW, SPECIAL EVENTS OCCUR AFTER HOURS, WEEKENDS HOLIDAYS.

AND SO THE TRAFFIC DIVISION WOULD HAVE TO COME IN WORK OVER TIME AND SUPPORT THOSE EVENTS.

AND, YOU KNOW, WE, WE WANT TO BE A PART OF THOSE EVENTS.

WE WANT TO HELP IT, BUT IT BECAME BURDENSOME FOR OUR TRAFFIC DIVISION.

AND SO WE MET WITH SARAH AND TALKED ABOUT, YOU KNOW, SOME OPTIONS THAT WE HAD AND WE EXPRESSED OUR CONCERNS WITH THIS BURDEN THAT'S PLACED ON OUR TRAFFIC DIVISION, BUT HERE IS JUST AN EXAMPLE OF IT.

AND AS SARAH MENTIONED, THESE ARE IN CON COSTS.

UM, BUT YOU CAN SEE THIS HAS OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS NOW, COVID HAS IMPACTED THESE NUMBERS.

SOME OF THE EVENTS GOT CANCELED, UH, DURING THE COVID, UH, SHUT DOWN.

SO, UM, SOME OF THAT HAS HAD AN IMPACT ON IT, BUT YOU CAN SEE, WE WERE AVERAGING ABOUT $20,000 A YEAR IN COST PRIOR TO, UH, THE COVID SHUT DOWN AND THEN IT DROPPED OFF.

AND THIS YEAR, THIS IS TO DATE SINCE JULY OF 20 21, 40 $8,000 OF IN CON SERVICES FOR THE EVENTS.

AND AS SARAH SAID, IT'S JUST AN UPTICK IN THE NUMBER OF EVENTS.

UH, WE HAD TWO ARTS FESTIVALS AND F1 22.

THAT'S WHY THAT, THAT NUMBER IS SO MUCH HIGHER, UH, BECAUSE IT HAD GOTTEN CANCELED IN 20 AND 21.

UM, THE HEARD ON HEARD EVENTS HAVE HAD, WE'VE HAD A GREATER NUMBER OF THOSE EVENTS, SO THAT COST HAS GONE UP AS WELL.

SO, YOU KNOW, OUR, OUR TRAFFIC GUYS, THEY, THEY, THEY WORK A LOT OF OVERTIME.

UM, THEY'RE AWAY FROM THEIR, THEIR FAMILIES JUST DOING THE NORMAL JOBS.

AND THEN YOU THROW IN THE SPECIAL EVENTS, IT'S BECOME QUITE A BURDEN TO THAT GROUP.

AND SO WE HAD ASKED IF WE COULD GET SOME RELIEF, UM, FROM THAT BURDEN AND TRY AND GET SOME OF THAT OFF OF THEM.

AND SO, UM, SARAH HAD COME UP WITH THIS IDEA.

IT LOOKS GOOD TO ME.

I'M, I'M REALLY PLEASED WITH WHAT WE'RE SAYING.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO BOW COMPLETELY OUT.

WE'RE STILL GOING TO BE THERE TO SUPPORT THE EVENTS WHEN WE'RE NEEDED, UH, LIBERTY FAST BEING ONE OF THOSE THAT IT'S A MAJOR EVENT AND REQUIRES A LOT OF, UH, UH, UM, LOGISTICS AND OUR GUYS WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR THOSE COMMON EVENTS, BUT WE JUST NEEDED TO GET SOME RELIEF FROM THAT.

SO THE QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT, TELL US ANY QUESTIONS FROM, SO WHAT'S THE SOLUTION.

SO I DID A LOT OF RESEARCH AND LOOKED AT WHAT OTHER COMMUNITIES WERE DOING AND WHAT STANDARD PRACTICES I WAS SEEING ACROSS THE BOARD FOR COMMUNITIES THAT HAD A LARGE NUMBER EVENTS LIKE WE DO.

AND THAT WOULD BE FOR THE EVENT COORDINATOR TO HIRE AN APPROVED PRE QUALIFIED, LICENSED CONTRACTOR, TO CLOSE THE STREETS FOR EVENTS.

UM, THE EVENT COORDINATOR WOULD WORK WITH THE LICENSED CONTRACTOR, PROVIDE THE CITY WITH A TRAFFIC CONTROL PLAN.

SO WE COULD STILL HAVE APPROVAL OF WHERE EVERY CONE, EVERY BARRICADE, EVERY SIGN IS PLACED.

WE WON'T LOSE QUALITY.

IT WOULD BE JUST LIKE WE WERE OUT THERE CLOSING THE STREET, BUT IF WE'RE NOT CLOSING THE STREET, THEN HOW DO WE CONTINUE TO SUPPORT EVENTS IN OUR COMMUNITY? WELL, AS PART OF THAT RESEARCH THAT I DID, I ALSO CAME ACROSS MANY COMMUNITIES THAT HAD A VERY SUCCESSFUL GRANT PROGRAM TO HELP THE EVENTS IN THEIR COMMUNITY.

SO WE'VE DECIDED TO DO A SPECIAL EVENT STREET CLOSURE GRANT PROGRAM.

SO THIS WOULD BE TO SUPPORT EVENTS FOR THE EXPENSES RELATED TO STREET CLOSURES.

THE EVENT COORDINATOR WILL SUBMIT A QUOTE FROM THAT PRE QUALIFIED CONTRACTOR AND AN APPLICATION REQUESTING SUPPLEMENTAL FUNDING TO OFFSET THE COST THAT THEY ARE NOW FACING TO HIRE FOR THE STREET CLOSURE.

THE SPECIAL EVENT COMMITTEE WILL THEN REVIEW THAT APPLICATION.

UM, AND THEY'LL LOOK AT ITEMS SUCH AS IS THE EVENT PROVIDING A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE TO EDMOND, WILL THE EVENT ENHANCE THE AREA'S CHARACTER AND CULTURE AND WHAT KIND OF POTENTIAL ECONOMIC IMPACT WOULD IT HAVE TO THE CITY AT THE END GRANTS WERE ONLY PROVIDED ON A REIMBURSEMENT BASIS AFTER THE EVENT UPON FINAL RECEIPT FROM THAT PRE-CALL PRE QUALIFIED CONTRACTOR.

SO WHY WOULD WE HAVE A GRANT PROGRAM? WHY WOULD WE HELP FINANCIALLY PAY FOR THE STREET CLOSURES FOR SPECIAL EVENTS? BECAUSE WE, AS A CITY RECOGNIZED THE SIGNIFICANT COMMUNITY BENEFITS THAT RESULT FROM THESE EVENTS, THERE ARE FAMILIES ACTIVITIES.

THEY PROVIDE COMMUNITY NONPROFIT FUNDING FOR COMMUNITY, NONPROFIT AGENCIES, CULTURAL ENRICHMENT, ECONOMIC VITALITY, COMMUNITY PRIDE, AND THEY HELP FUEL TOURISM.

AND THAT IS JUST THE SHORT LIST.

SO BEFORE YOU, THIS EVENING, YOU HAVE AN ORDINANCE TO CHANGE.

AS MENTIONED, THERE WAS A $300 SPECIAL EVENT CLOSURE FEE.

SO WE WOULD LOWER THAT TO 150 AND IN DOING SO THAT WOULD UNIFORM ALL OF THE SPECIAL EVENT FEES.

SO WHETHER YOU HAVE AN EVENT IN A PARK OR ON A CITY STREET IS NOW JUST A UNIFORM COST OF 150.

SO I WAS TRYING TO BE AS SPECIFIC AS POSSIBLE, BUT ALSO BE CONSIDERATE OF YOUR TIME.

SO IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THAT.

[00:35:01]

ANY QUESTIONS FOR SARAH? NO.

GREAT.

AND THE MONEY FOR THE GRANT WILL COME FROM IT'S IN THE, IN MY LINE, I'M IN BUDGET.

AND THEN THE SPECIAL EVENT COMMITTEE WOULD BE THE ONES THAT ACTUALLY DO THE APPROVAL.

SO IT WON'T BE ME THAT DOES THE APPROVAL, IT'LL BE THE COMMITTEE, BUT THEN I WOULD ISSUE THE INVOICE THROUGH FINANCING.

OKAY, I'M GOING TO THANK SARAH AS A CITIZEN.

AND PART OF THE TURKEY TROT COORDINATION AT SARAH REACHED OUT TO ME, ACTUALLY, IN FACT, IT WAS PROBABLY SIX OR NINE MONTHS AGO WHEN SHE STARTED WORKING ON THIS.

AND THEN RECENTLY BEFORE THIS MEETING AND A GREAT MEETING AND GREAT COMMUNICATION ON HOW, UM, SHE FELT THIS COULD BE SET UP AND IN THE PRESENTATION THAT WE SAW, SO THANKFUL TO, AND I'M SURE I, WASN'T THE ONLY EVENT THAT YOU'VE TALKED WITH AND REACHED OUT TO, JUST TO KIND OF GIVE A HEADS UP AND THE CHANGE CAUSE TRAFFIC FOR OUR TURKEY TRUCK AND 2000 RUNNERS.

IT'S A BIG DEAL SAFETY ON THE STREET AND IT'S OUR NUMBER ONE PRIORITY.

SO, UM, THANK YOU FOR EXPLAINING IT SO WELL AND, AND, UH, AND COMMUNICATING THAT WE REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

ANY COMMENTS FROM THE AUDIENCE QUESTIONS, COMMENTS FROM THE AUDIENCE.

NO PRESENTATION ON THIS COUNCIL.

OH, COME ON JUST REAL QUICK.

UM, THIS IS FOR OUR 53 10 GRANT WITH ODAT.

THIS WOULD ALLOW US TO BUY TWO MORE BUSES FOR OUR PARATRANSIT SERVICE.

RIGHT NOW IT'S ESTIMATED COST IS 280,000.

ANY OTHER CONVERSATION ON THAT? THAT'S, THAT'S THAT NUMBER SEEMS TO GROW UP OR GO UP EVERY YEAR, BUT IT'S GOOD.

IT'S, IT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING, UM, FOR OUR COMMUNITY.

RIGHT? UM, ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS FROM THE, FROM THE AUDIENCE? YES, SIR.

COME ON UP AND INTRODUCE YOURSELF.

COUNSEL.

I'M WONDERING SCOTT.

UH, I HAD A QUESTION ABOUT, THIS IS A LOT OF MONEY.

THIS IS A LOT OF MONEY.

UM, I'M ASKING WHY ARE WE PAYING, HELPING THE, UH, UCL? MY TAX HAS ALREADY PAID FOR UCL AND MY GRANDSON GOES THERE AND HE'LL LET HIM PAY TO GO TO HIM.

SO WHY ARE WE HELPING UCL? I'M ASKING THE QUESTION, SIR, WE HAVE THIS PROGRAM THAT WE HAVE HERE, UH, UNDER A SOCIAL AND COMMUNITY ENRICHMENT AGENCIES.

UH, WE HAVE A SEPARATE COMMITTEE THAT REVIEWS PACKAGES THAT ARE COMING IN EACH YEAR, UH, THAT, THAT COMMITTEE, THAT COMMITTEE LOOKS AT OUR COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE.

AND THE PACKAGES THAT COME IN AND SAY, YES, NO, MAYBE, UH, THEY MAY COME IN FOR $4.

WE MIGHT GIVE THEM $1, BUT THEY HAVE AN EVALUATION CRITERIA THAT THEY GO THROUGH AND YOU SEE, OH, THIS IS THE ENDEAVOR GAMES RIGHT HERE.

THE ENDEAVOR GAMES IS A SUBSET OF, OF A PROGRAM THAT WAS STARTED AT UCO.

AND NOW IT HAS NATIONAL AND ALMOST INTERNATIONAL IMPLICATIONS OF HELPING THE ADAPTIVE SPORT ATHLETES, MILITARY PRIOR MEAL, CURRENT MALE, AND, UH, EVEN CIVILIANS AND A DOCTOR SCRUNCHED ANSWER.

I'M SORRY, I DIDN'T MEAN PUMP, BUT I JUST NEED TO CLARIFY, IS THERE AN OPT OUT OPTION FOR, UH, UH, CITIZENS ON PAYING TAXES THAT LET'S SAY WE DON'T AGREE WITH THIS ONE ON THAT ONE ON THAT ONE.

DO WE HAVE AN OUT OPTION? NOT THAT I'M AWARE OF, SO, OKAY.

SO THAT'S, CAN I COMMENT FOR A SECOND? THERE'S ACTUALLY A PERCENTAGE OF OUR BUDGET SET ASIDE FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROGRAM.

UM, AND THESE ARE IMPACTS IN OUR COMMUNITY.

ALSO BRING IN A LOT OF TOURISM DOLLARS.

UM, THERE ARE MANY, MANY PEOPLE WHO COME IN FROM OUT OF STATE FOR THE ENDEAVOR DAMES.

SO, AND ALSO I'LL REMIND YOU THAT THE TAX IS SALES TAX.

IT'S NOT PROPERTY TAX.

AND SO, BUT TH THE PEOPLE SALES SALES TAX, YES, SALES TAXES THAT COME IN THAT DO THEY REALIZE THEY'RE PAYING 1 MILLION, $200,500 FOR CHARITIES AND OTHER GROUPS.

NOW, I ALWAYS ASSUME THAT THE PEOPLE MADE THE DECISIONS OF WHAT CHARITIES THEY WANT IT TO GIVE, RATHER THAN GIVE THE GOVERNMENT THE MONEY TO DISTRIBUTE.

IS THERE, THERE'S A COMMITTEE OF CITIZENS IN THIS COMMUNITY WHO MAKE THE DECISION ON WHICH ORGANIZATIONS TO GRANT THESE MONIES TO THAT INCLUDE ALL OF THE PASTORS AND PREACHERS ALL COMING DOWN THE SIDE, SARAH, WE HAVE A BOARD SAYING COMMISSIONS COMMITTEE GROUP.

UH, WE HAVE POLICIES AND RULES THAT PEOPLE ARE PLACED ON THESE COMMITTEES.

THEY, THEY, THEY, WE HAVE A NOMINATION PROCESS WHERE THEY CAN SUBMIT THEIR NAMES ONLINE, THAT THEY WANT TO BE A PART OF IT.

SO THIS IS ALL OPEN.

OUR BUDGET IS UNDER THE OPEN MEDIAC MEETINGS ACT AND IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.

WE DISCUSSED ALL THIS IN FRONT OF EVERYONE.

AYE, SIR, I UNDERSTAND IT.

AND I, I AGREE WITH ALMOST EVERYTHING IT'S ON THIS LIST, BUT THE POINT IS IT'S OUR MONEY AND WE GIVE IT TO YOU AND YOU APPOINTED COMMISSION OR SOMETHING UP, AND YOU GET MY MONEY OR PEOPLE'S MONEY TO ORGANIZATIONS THAT WE MIGHT NOT AGREE ON.

AND YET WE HAVE TO PAY.

THERE'S NO OPTION FOR US.

IT'S OUR MONEY.

WE THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

GIVE IT UP.

WE DON'T.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.

WE ARE.

AND THE CITIZENS PARTICIPATE IN THE PROCESS NEXT ORDER, OR THE APPROVAL PURCHASE, UM, APPROVAL OF THE INTER LOCAL SUBSIDY AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF ADMIN AND AMSA EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICE AUTHORITY FOR FISCAL YEAR 20 22, 23 FOR 660,000.

DO WE VOTE? DID WE VOTE ON IT? WELL, NO, I WAS JUST GOING TO GO THROUGH THE PURCHASES WE HAVE ON THIS ONE FOR THE AMSA.

SO WE DO HAVE A PRESENTATION.

I'M READY? YES.

SO I WOULDN'T CALL IT A PRECINCT.

I VERBALLY I'LL SHARE THESE MESSAGES.

SO, UM, JUST RECENTLY I WAS PUT ON THE AS THE NON BENEFICIARY CITY REP REPRESENTATION.

THERE'S TWO DISTRICTS.

AND SO ONCE THAT TULSA DISTRICT AND THE CHIEF, CORRECT ME, HE'S BEEN TRAINING ME ON THIS VERY

[00:45:01]

WELL.

I GOT THE EASTERN DISTRICT TO THE TULSA AREA, AND THEN WE HAVE THE WESTERN DISTRICT, WHICH IS THE OKLAHOMA CITY AREA.

THE TWO PRIMARY BENEFICIARY CITIES ARE TULSA AND OKLAHOMA CITY.

THIS SERVICE PROVIDES OUR MERCY, UH, AMBULANCE SERVICE FOR OUR COMMUNITY.

WE OPT INTO THIS AGREEMENT, UH, CITIZENS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO, UH, PAY, I BELIEVE IT'S $3 A MONTH ON A VOLUNTARY BASIS, CORRECT? FOR EMPHASIS SERVICE, I BELIEVE THREE TIMES.

CORRECT.

UM, AND SO CURRENTLY OUR AGREEMENT WITH THOSE FOR $660,000, IT HAS NOT INCREASED SINCE LAST YEAR.

UM, JUST A FEW THINGS I WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU.

UM, WE ARE WORKING WITH THEM TO IMPROVE THEIR PERFORMANCE.

THERE ARE A NUMBER OF PERFORMANCE STANDARDS WITHIN OUR AGREEMENT WITH THEM.

IDEALLY, THERE'S A, I'LL CALL IT A TIER ONE, TIER THREE, TIER ONE, TWO, AND THREE TIER ONE IS MEDICAL RESPONSE OF A, OF ACUTE NATURE.

WITHIN 11 MINUTES.

THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO RESPOND WITHIN 90 MINUTES AND 99 PERCENTILE, UH, ACHIEVEMENT OF THAT, UNFORTUNATELY, DUE TO THE PANDEMIC AND THE ENTERING PACKS, UH, THEY ARE SHORT-STAFFED.

AND FOR A COUPLE OF REASONS, THEY'VE BEEN FALLING SHORT OF THAT STANDARD.

UM, AND AS A CONCERN WITH US, AND THAT HAS ALSO RIPPLED INTO PHASE TWO AND THREE RESPONSE TIMES.

UH, WE HAVE BEEN IN DISCUSSION WITH THEM OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS ABOUT EFFORTS TO IMPROVE THEIR PERFORMANCE.

WE'VE BEEN CONVERSATIONS WITH THE OTHER MEMBER CITIES ABOUT HOW DO WE IMPROVE THIS EFFORTS? UM, WE STILL BELIEVE THAT MC IS A VIABLE PARTNER FOR US, AND IT'S PROBABLY ARE, UH, MORE WELL, WE KNOW IT'S OUR MOST REASONABLE, UH, BOTH FINANCIALLY AND BOTH PHYSICALLY FOR US TO PROVIDE THE SERVICE FOR US TO STAND SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE MUCH MORE COSTLY.

UH, AND WE'D PROBABLY HAVE THE SAME STAFFING ISSUES THAT THEY ARE HAVING IS FINE.

UM, UH, RUSI RESPONDERS FOR THIS NEED.

WE ARE COMMITTED AS WELL AS OUR PARTNERS TO CONTINUE TO WORK ON THIS.

I THINK THAT YOU'VE CAN ATTEST.

WE HAD A LIVELY DISCUSSION THIS PAST WEEK ABOUT STRATEGIC PLANNING AND HOW TO IMPROVE THIS.

WE ARE IN CONVERSATIONS WITH OUR MEMBER CITIES IT'S IT APPEARS OUR H OUR EASTERN TIER CITIES ARE HAVING A BETTER RESPONSE TIME THAN WE ARE NOW.

PART OF THAT IS MUCH SMALLER GEOGRAPHIC AREA THAN THE OKLAHOMA CITY METRO, WHICH IS MUCH BROADER.

SO IF YOU IMAGINE HOW YOU POSITION AMBULANCES, THRIVING, METRO OF OUR SIZE IS VERY CHALLENGING.

UM, SO WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO WORK WITH SO HOW TO PROVE THAT BOTH NOT ON STAFFING, BUT ALSO STATIONING OF WHERE THESE AMBULANCES ARE STATIONED.

UH, I WOULD HOPE, AND CHIEF CAN CORRECT ME.

OUR GOAL IS IN THE NEXT SIX MONTHS TO HAVE A TANGIBLE PROJECT, UH, TANGIBLE TIMELINE OF WHEN WE CAN SEE THESE IMPROVEMENTS, WE CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THEM ON A MONTHLY BASIS, AND WE'RE VERY VOCAL NEVADA, BUT WE'RE WORKING WITH OKLAHOMA CITY AND THE OTHER CITIES IN OUR DISTRICT, PARTICULARLY TO SAY, WHAT STRUCTURAL CHANGES DO WE NEED TO MAKE OR TO SEE MC BE SUCCESSFUL.

IF AT THE END OF THAT PROCESS, WE DON'T SEE THE PROGRESS WE, WE BELIEVE IS NECESSARY.

WE CAN DECIDE TO DO AN ALTERNATIVE.

I THINK, AS A CHIEF AND I HAVE DISCUSSED AND LOOKED AROUND PRESENTLY, THIS IS OUR BEST, I'LL CALL IT THIRD PARTY, PRIVATE OPTION.

WE HAVE, UH, THERE WERE THERE, WE KNOW THERE ARE OTHER USERS OUT THERE.

WHAT, WE'RE JUST NOT QUITE SURE IF THEY'RE OF A SIZE AND NATURE THAT CAN REALLY BE ABLE TO STAND UP, NOT JUST TO OUR COMMUNITIES NEED, BUT TO THE BIGGER METRO.

SO WITH THAT, I'M OPEN TO STANFORD QUESTIONS.

WE, WE SHARE THE FRUSTRATIONS.

I KNOW WE'VE SEEN A FEW EMAILS IN THE LAST FEW DAYS.

WE EXTEND THOSE TO SO VERY CLEARLY THEY KNOW OUR, OUR POSITION AND THEIR COMMITMENT TO US IS THEY NEED TO DO BETTER.

THANKS.

[00:50:01]

AND THERE WAS GOING TO BE A SLIGHT PRESENTATION ON THAT ONE.

YES, THIS IS OUR EACH YEAR.

WE HAVE AN ASPHALT, A REALLY PROJECT TO TRY AND GET AS MANY STREETS OVERLAYED AS POSSIBLE THROUGHOUT THE CITY.

AND WE HAVE A LOT THAT NEED REPAIR COSTS ARE UP RIGHT NOW.

SO WE'RE ALL ABLE TO RECOMMEND AWARDING THE BASE THIS YEAR.

SO, BUT HERE'S THE LIST OF STREETS, THE CATCH ACRE SUBDIVISION, WHICH IS ON DANFORTH ACROSS THE SOCCER FIELDS, UH, DANFORTH BETWEEN BOULEVARD AND BRYANT.

AND THEN CHOWNING BETWEEN AIRS UP TO THE UNIVERSITY AND ERRORS OR BETWEEN DANFORTH AND ERRORS.

AND THEN UP HERE ON COBELL BETWEEN BRYANT AND COLTRANE IS WE'RE ALSO GOING TO BE OVERLAYING THAT STREET, BUT WHEN HE BECOMES REAL QUICK UPDATES, IF WE CAN GET TO ON THE LAST MEETING, AS YOU KNOW, WE HAVE THIS INTERSECTION UNDER DESIGN, THE LAST COUNCIL, WE APPROVED A RIGHT-AWAY ACQUISITION FROM TO START DOING TITLE RESEARCH.

I'VE GOT A MEETING SET UP WITH OUR LOW BIDDER FOR NEXT WEEK.

WE ARE IN CONSTANT CONTACT WITH ALL THE UTILITIES IN THE AREA.

WE'RE GOING TO SEE IF WE CAN ADD SOME SMALL TURN LANES IN THAT AREA WITH POSSIBLY WITH THIS PROJECT TO ALLEVIATE THE TRAFFIC CONCERNS.

THAT'S CURRENTLY ONGOING.

THERE IS A LOT OF THINGS UNDERGROUND.

THERE'S A LOT OF STORM WATER THROUGH THERE, BUT WE'RE GOING TO MEET, SEE IF WE CAN'T COME UP WITH AT LEAST SOME, SOME LANES ON EACH SIDE, PROVIDE LEFT, TURN LANES IN ALL DIRECTIONS, AND THEN POSSIBLY A SIGNAL IN THE FUTURE, BUT I'LL KNOW MORE AFTER NEXT WEEK I HAVE WITH THE ENGINEER THAT WE HAVE AND OUR CONTRACTOR, BUT THAT'S OUR GOAL TO GET SOMETHING GOING ASAP OUT THERE SINCE WE'RE GOING TO BE OVERLAYING THAT STREET AS WELL.

HOW DO YOU NOTIFY? DO YOU JUST SEND OUT ANY PUBLIC NOTIONS ABOUT, HEY, WE'RE GOING TO BE PAVING IN FRONT OF YOUR STREET AND THE NEXT YES.

WE, UH, USE, UH, OUR PUBLIC RELATIONS.

THEY SEND OUT THE NEWS RELEASES AND IN SOME CASES, DEPENDING ON WHERE WE ARE, WE CAN PUT OUR A VERBAL MESSAGE BOARD.

IF IT'S GOING TO BE A BIGGER PROJECT, UH, TO ALERT THE MOTORIST.

IF IT'S GOING TO BE A LONGER PROJECT, SOME PROJECTS, WE CAN DO DOOR HANGERS.

IF IT'S SMALL ENOUGH, UH, SOME LARGE SUBDIVISIONS IT'S, IT'S A CHALLENGE WITHIN HERE.

MAINLY IT'S JUST THE PRESS RELEASES AND WE WON'T BE CLOSING THE ROAD TO DO THE REPAIR.

THERE COULD BE SOME, SOME LANE CLOSURES WITH FLAG MINTS, YOU MACK AWAY, THEN GO AROUND AS THEY LET YOU GO.

BUT WE HAVE NO PLANS TO CLOSE ANY OF THESE ROADS TO THROUGH TRAFFIC.

SECOND SECOND, PLEASE GET YOUR VOTE.

YOU GOT ADAM'S PARENTS.

FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS IS APPROVAL OF A APWA MEETING MINUTES FROM JUNE 13TH, 2020 TO MOTION TO APPROVE EVERY MOTION.

NEXT.

WE NEED A MOTION TO RECESS RECESS.

THE EMMA CITY COUNCIL MEETING AND COUNTRY CONVENE THE M PUBLIC WORKS AUTHORITY MEETING.

SECOND MOTION SECOND, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE.

WE ARE NOW IN THE APWA MEETING.

[4. Approval of EPWA Meeting Minutes: June 13, 2022.]

SECOND SECOND, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE MEETING MINUTES HAD PASSED,

[5. EPWA General Consent Items:]

AND NOW WE HAVE YOUR APWA GENERAL CONSENT ITEMS. UH, WE HAVE SEVERAL ITEMS THERE, FIVE, A ONE THROUGH FIVE, BUT WE DO HAVE, UM, WE'D LIKE TO PULL ITEM ONE AND TWO FOR A PRESENTATION.

[1. Presentation on Smart Choice Opt Out Program.]

FIRST ONE IS PRESENTATION ON A SMART CHOICE.

OPT OUT PROGRAM AND ACTUALLY, GLEN, YOU'RE GOING TO GIVE THE SECOND ONE TO CORRECT IT, WHICH IS THE CONSIDERATION APPROVAL.

WE'LL GET TO THAT POINT AFTER YOU GET THROUGH THIS.

UH, FIRST OF ALL, I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT THE OPT-OUT, UH, PROGRAM, OF COURSE, AS WE NEAR THE INSTALLATION OF OUR SMART METERS, UH, WE KNOW THAT SOME CUSTOMERS WILL WANT TO OPT OUT OF THE SMART CHOICE PROGRAM.

SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE THE MECHANISM AND THE RIGHT RIDER IN PLACE TO DO THAT.

UM, SO WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS A CONSIDERATION FOR AN OPT-OUT PROGRAM THAT SETS UP ALL THE REQUIREMENTS AND AVAILABILITY OF THAT, THAT RIDER.

UM, FIRST OF ALL, THIS WILL BE, OH, I DO WANT TO POINT OUT A LOT OF UTILITIES ACROSS THE NATION THAT HAVE ALREADY INSTALLED SMART METERS, HAVE SEEN ABOUT POINT TO 0.5% OF THEIR CUSTOMERS OPT OUT FOR EDMUND ELECTRIC.

THAT WOULD BE ABOUT ONE TO 200 CUSTOMERS TOTAL.

SO THAT'S WHAT WE WOULD BE SERVICING UNDER THIS OPT-OUT RATE.

UM, THE AVAILABILITY OF THIS WILL BE FOR SINGLE FAMILY, RESIDENTIAL CUSTOMERS, WATER, AND OR ELECTRIC SERVICE ONLY.

UM, TWO OF THEM THAT I WANT TO SAY THERE'S AN EXCEPTION FOR IS IF THEY HAVE SOLAR OR IF A IN THE FUTURE, WE'RE GONNA ADOPT A RESIDENTIAL TIME OF USE RATE.

UM, UM, THOSE WILL WILL NOT BE ELIGIBLE FOR THIS BECAUSE A LOT OF THAT DATA THAT WE, THAT THE SMART METERS CAN COLLECT, WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO TIE THAT TO MARKET PRICING, UM, OUR WHOLESALE MARKET PRICING, AND THAT DATA IS INVALUABLE FOR THAT.

SO WE WANT TO, UH, MAKE AN EXCEPTION FOR THOSE TWO CUSTOMER CLASSES.

UM, ONE THING UNDER THIS RATE, WE DO HAVE WATER ONLY CUSTOMERS.

WE HAVE ELECTRIC ONLY CUSTOMERS, AND WE HAVE WATER AND ELECTRIC CUSTOMERS.

UH, IF WATER AND ELECTRIC CUSTOMER OPS OUT, THEY OPT OUT OF BOTH, NOT JUST ELECTRIC OR WATER, IT'S AN ALL OR NOTHING.

SO THAT IS ONE THING I WANT TO POINT OUT FEES ASSOCIATED WITH IT.

UM, AS I POINTED OUT EARLIER, UM, MOST UTILITIES SEE ABOUT 0.2 TO 0.5%.

I PROJECTED 1% TO CALCULATE THESE COSTS ARE BASED UPON OUR COST TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES ASSOCIATED WITH

[01:00:01]

KEEPING THOSE ON A MANUAL READ SYSTEM.

FIRST OF ALL, THERE WOULD BE $85 ONE-TIME ENROLLMENT FEE THAT COVERS OUR, THE INITIAL COST TO GO OUT AND CHANGE THE SMART METER BACK OUT TO A NON COMMUNICATING METER.

AND THEN ALL THE ASSOCIATED BACK OFFICE WORK THAT UCS HAS TO DO THE PROCESS THAT DAY TO GET IT BACK INTO OUR BILLING SYSTEM, USING THE OLD HANDHELD SYSTEMS AND, AND, UM, THE CURRENT SYSTEMS, THE OTHER ONE WOULD BE A $15 MANUAL READING AND PROCESSING FEE THAT'S ASSOCIATED WITH, LIKE I SAID, THE, THE HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE WHERE MAINTAINING THAT WOULD GO AWAY IF WE HAD NO OPT-OUTS, UM, IT ALSO COVERS, UH, THERE'S SOME ADDITIONAL WORK THAT UCS WILL HAVE TO DO BECAUSE MOST OF THIS WILL BE AUTOMATED UNDER THE SMART CHOICE PROGRAM WITH THE NEW METERS.

AND THIS WILL BE KIND OF A CARRY OVER OF AN OLD LEGACY SYSTEM ASSOCIATED WITH IT, UM, WAS THAT COVERS, UM, METER UPGRADES.

ONE OTHER THING I WANT TO POINT OUT A LOT OF PEOPLE, WE STILL HAVE SOME OF THE OLD ANALOG, ELECTRIC, MECHANICAL METERS ON OUR SYSTEM, THE OLD DIALS AND SPINNING DISC METERS.

THOSE ARE ANTIQUATED TECHNOLOGY THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS.

WE'RE GOING TO CHANGE ALL THOSE OUT.

I KNOW WE WILL HIT SOME PEOPLE WHO WANT TO OPT OUT THAT HAVE THESE METERS, IF THEY DO CHOOSE TO OPT OUT, WE WILL REPLACE THOSE METERS WITH A NONCOMMUNICATIVE ELECTRONIC METER.

THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN USING FOR ABOUT THE LAST 15 YEARS.

UM, SO THEY'RE NOTHING NEW THEY'VE RECORDED THE EXACT SAME DATA AS A SMART METER.

THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THEY DON'T HAVE THE RADIO TO PASS THAT BACK TO US IN A TIMELY MANNER.

SO WE WILL HAVE TO GO OUT AND MANUALLY READ THOSE, BUT, UH, YOU WILL SEE THAT CHANGE IF YOU CHOOSE TO OPT OUT, IT IS NOT A SMART METER.

IT IS JUST AN ELECTRONIC METER.

SO WITH THAT, I WILL ASK IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS, COUNCIL, ANY QUESTIONS FROM JUST ABOUT EVERY YOU MIGHT'VE ALREADY MENTIONED THIS JUST ABOUT EVERYBODY ELSE THAT HAS SMART METERS, HAS THIS OPT OUT PROGRAM, CORRECT? YES.

UH, FOR COMPARISON.

OH, GENIE.

UM, A LOT OF PEOPLE AT O G AND E FOR COMPARISON TO US, THEIR ENROLLMENT FEE IS $115.

THEIR MONTHLY MANUAL READING FEE IS $15 AND 66 CENTS.

SO BOTH OF OURS ARE LOWER THAN THEIR.

OKAY, THANK YOU.

THAT WAS ITEM 5 8100 APWA.

[2. Consideration and Approval of Resolution No._______ Modifying the Edmond Electric Rates and Adding Certain Rate Rider Language.]

HA HOW ABOUT FIVE, A TWO CONSIDERATION APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION NUMBER EIGHT DASH 22, 8 DASH 22, MODIFYING THAT EDMUND ELECTRIC RATES AND ADDING CERTAIN RATE RIDER LANGUAGE.

THAT'S JUST CHANGING OUR ELECTRIC RATES THROUGH COMPASS.

WHAT MR. FISHER JUST TALKED ABOUT IN ANY INITIAL QUESTIONS, THEN WE JUST HAVE THE OTHER GENERAL CONSIDER ITEMS D DISCUSSION, CONSIDERATION, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THINK THEY WANTED SOME COMMENT ON THE NEXT, OKAY.

UM,

[3. Discussion and Consideration of Resolution No._______Authorizing Participation in Residential Hot Water Tank Rebate Program.]

RESIDENCY NUMBER NINE DASH 22, 9 DASH 22, AUTHORIZE A PARTICIPATION IN A RESIDENTIAL HOT WATER TANK REBATE PROGRAM.

WE PARTNERSHIP WITH OWEN, OUR WHOLESALE POWER PROVIDER, UM, ON DIFFERENT REBATE PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE.

THIS IS ONE THAT THEY RECENTLY DEVELOPED A IT'S TYPICALLY A 50, 50 SPLIT ON A REBATE.

UM, SO THEY SET TO CRITERIA THAT ARE INCLUDED IN YOUR PACKET FOR THIS PROGRAM.

IT'S VERY SIMILAR.

LIKE I SAID TO HER SINGLE LANCE INSULATION REBATE, OUR HEAT PUMP REBATE, ET CETERA.

SO THIS IS JUST ANOTHER PROGRAM WE'RE OFFERING FOR CUSTOMERS WHO ELECT TO INSTALL, UH, AN ELECTRIC WATER HEATER.

ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU.

AND NOW WE HAVE APPROVAL OF PURCHASES, CONSIDERATION APPROVAL OF ENGINEERING SERVICES CONTRACT WITH HOOD ZOELLER INC FOR THE FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR STRONG WATER AND DETENTION IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE MAIN STREET ADDITION, THE STUDY AREAS FROM M AND ROAD TO CAMPBELL STREET AND FROM THE RAILROAD TRACKS TO KELLY AVENUE.

AND THEN WE HAVE THE APPROVAL OF SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATIONS FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE MAINTENANCE CHARGES AND APPROVE A TRANSFER FOR TAKING BERG GOLF COURSE.

THOSE ARE THE, UH, I MENTIONED, UH, ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS UNDER APWA.

I MOVED TO APPROVE ITEMS FIVE, A ONE THROUGH FIVE SECOND MOTION SECOND, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE.

THOSE ITEMS HAVE BEEN APPROVED.

[B. Approval of Purchases:]

UH, THEN WE HAVE APPROVAL OF PURCHASES OF COMPUTER HARDWARE, SOFTWARE NETWORK, EQUIPMENT LICENSES, AND EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE ON THE STATE CONTRACT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2223.

THEN WE HAVE THE APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT WITH EDMUND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY FOR FISCAL YEAR 20 22 23.

JANET, WOULD YOU LIKE TO TELL US A FEW THINGS ABOUT THAT

[01:05:03]

AND YOU SENT IT YEAH.

FROM EDA.

THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTNER AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS FOR OUR COMMUNITY.

THE EEA STRIVES TO CREATE EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES THAT FIT THE NEEDS OF THE CITY OF EDMOND.

AND WE DO THIS BY LISTENING TO BUSINESS LEADERS AND WE CREATE A PROGRAM OF WORK FROM THAT.

WE HAVE FOUR AREAS OF FOCUS IN OUR PROGRAM OF WORK.

ONE IS JOB CREATION AND THAT'S REALLY TO PRESERVE AND ENHANCE THE EXISTING BUSINESS COMMUNITY THROUGH VISITS AND COMMUNICATION TO DETERMINE THEIR NEEDS AND WAYS THAT WE CAN ASSIST THEM.

BUSINESS.

CLIMATE IS ANOTHER ONE WHERE WE PROMOTE EDMUND'S WORKFORCE, AS WE TRY AND RECRUIT PROJECTS TO EDMUND AND THE SURROUNDING AREA.

AND WE IDENTIFY APPROPRIATE SITES THAT ARE AVAILABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT, MARKETING AND COMMUNICATIONS IS ALSO ONE.

AND THEN RESEARCH, WHICH INCLUDES THE, UH, CREATION OF MORE AND MORE ECONOMIC IMPACT REPORTS FOR PROJECTS AND EVENTS.

UH, HERE'S SOME JUST HIGHLIGHTS OF WHAT WE'VE DONE OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS.

WE'VE PARTNERED WITH THE CITY AND THE CHAMBER, UH, DURING THE PANDEMIC TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE TO 130 COMPANIES TOTALLING $250,000 OF LOCAL PHONES.

WE PARTNERED WITH THE, WITH OKLAHOMA COUNTY TO IDENTIFY EDMUND COMPANIES IN NEED OF ASSISTANCE TO PROVIDE AN ADDITIONAL $8 MILLION OF CARES MONEY THAT CAME THROUGH THE COUNTY.

AND THAT WAS DISTRIBUTED TO THOSE COMPANIES.

IN ADDITION, WE'VE ASSISTED IN DOWNTOWN WITH THE PLANNING AND CREATION OF A WHOLE LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS.

MOST RECENTLY IN THE CREATION OF THE TIF DISTRICT, WE'VE SPEARHEADED INFRASTRUCTURE ASSISTANCE IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE DOWNTOWN.

AND MOST RECENTLY WE'VE CREATED A STREETER REESE PROGRAM THAT CURRENTLY HAS FUNDED EIGHT RESTAURANTS IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA.

WE'VE FUNDED FEASIBILITY STUDIES FOR THE HILTON GARDEN INN HOTEL AND CONFERENCE CENTER.

AND WE RECRUITED SHOWBIZ AND THE MULTI ENTERTAINMENT COMPLEX TO THE CORRIDOR.

AND YES, WE'RE STILL WORKING WITH THE PART, THE, UH, LANDOWNER ON THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF AND COBELL FOR DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITIES THAT CAME UP.

AND WE STILL BELIEVE THAT THE LAND THAT OUT THERE HOLDS A GREAT POTENTIAL FOR DEVELOPMENT AND FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES.

WE'VE WORKED WITH THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY, WHICH HAS BECOME EDMOND'S BIGGEST ECONOMIC GENERATOR.

WE CURRENTLY HAVE A $400 MILLION ANNUAL ECONOMIC IMPACT FROM THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY, AND IT CONTINUALLY PROVIDES, UH, EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES AS WELL UP AS IT PROVIDES STATE OF THE ART MEDICAL SERVICES THAT DRAW PEOPLE INTO EDMOND.

AND WE HAVE ADDITIONAL PLANS FOR, UM, MEDICAL FACILITIES THAT WILL BE COMING TO YOU ALONG THE 35 CORRIDOR.

AND IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THE RESULTS OF A BOUTIQUE HOTEL STUDY THAT WILL, THAT WE FIND IT, THAT WILL TAKE US INTO THE NEXT ERA OF HOSPITALITY OPPORTUNITIES FOR EDMOND.

AND I'M ALWAYS GOING TO ENCOURAGE THE COUNCIL TO TRY AND MAINTAIN LARGE TRACKS OF LAND FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES.

SO WE CAN SUSTAIN OUR FUTURE.

AND WE ALWAYS STAY ON READY TO PARTNER FOR ADMIN, FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES AS OUR NEEDS CHANGE.

SO THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY AND I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, ANY QUESTIONS, JANET, WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON, YOU KNOW, ME AND WORKFORCE HOUSING? AT WHAT POINT DOES THAT BECOME AN, AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DISCUSSION? I THINK IT NEEDS TO BE, UM, WE'RE GOING TO PARTNER WITH THE EDMOND BOARD OF REALTORS FOR A TWO DAY SUMMIT IN OC IN OCTOBER OF THIS YEAR, I THINK THE 10TH AND THE 11TH, WHERE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE DISCUSSIONS AND THEY'RE GOING TO BRING IN SOME LEADERSHIP FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

BUT ESPECIALLY WHEN WE TALK TO OUR MEDICAL FACILITIES, WE'VE GOT, UM, WE'VE GOT SOME REAL NEED THERE THAT THEY HAVE EMPLOYEES THAT CAN'T LIVE IN EDMOND.

THEY'VE, WE'VE PRICED THEM OUT OF THE MARKET.

AND SO THAT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY, WE DO NEED TO HAVE A CONVERSATION AND MORE CONVERSATIONS.

I KNOW THERE HAVE BEEN SOME, BUT, UH, WE NEED TO SEE WHAT WE CAN DO TO FIND SOLUTIONS.

NOT BE AN EDMOND BECAUSE NOT BECAUSE OF AN OPPORTUNITY, BUT BECAUSE THERE'S NOT PHYSICALLY THE STAFF THAT COULD BE AT THAT INSTITUTION.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? YES, JANET'S REALLY NICE.

I WAS GOING TO STOP RIGHT THERE, BUT I'M GOING TO CONTINUE ON.

SHE'S REALLY NICE, BUT I THINK SHE WAS VERY BEING VERY KIND ABOUT THE WORKFORCE HOUSING ONES.

AS WE MET WITH OUR HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS, IT'S NOT JUST THAT THEY CAN'T PROVIDE HOUSING, BUT THE IMPACT IS TO OUR HEALTH PROVIDERS.

THEY HAVE TO PICK AND CHOOSE WHAT PROGRAMS THEY CAN BRING TO THAT, THAT MEDICAL INSTITUTION.

IF THEY DON'T HAVE THE STAFFING, THEY CAN'T PROVIDE THE SERVICE.

SO WHETHER IT'S YOU NEED CARE OR GRANDMA NEEDS CARE, WHOEVER NEEDS CARE, IT MAY

[01:10:01]

SO WITHOUT WORKFORCE HOUSING, WE, WE MAY HAVE IMPACTS ON THE QUALITY OF HEALTHCARE.

WE HAVE AN ED, BUT NOT BECAUSE THE CLIENTELE'S NOT THERE IS JUST BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THE STAFFING.

SO THEY MAY HAVE TO GO TO HOSPITALS OR INSTITUTIONS THAT ARE IN ELSEWHERE IN THE OKC METRO.

SO THAT'S A DIRECT IMPACT.

SO AS WE TALK ABOUT WORKFORCE HOUSING OR MULTIFOCAL MULTIFAMILY, IT'S NOT EITHER, OR IT'S, IT'S GOING TO BE, DO YOU WANT THIS TYPE OF EMPLOYMENT AS WELL AS CARE FOR THE COMMUNITY? YEAH.

I'M HEARING IT FROM RESTAURANTS, GROCERY STORES, UH, ACCOUNTING FIRMS, OUR HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY, AND WHAT ENDS UP HAPPENING IS BEFORE WE, BEFORE WE KNOW IT, WE LOOK AROUND AND, AND BUSINESSES ARE MOVING OUT OF TOWN, UM, BECAUSE THEY JUST CAN'T GET EMPLOYEES AND EVEN YOUNGER EMPLOYEES TO, TO, TO COME TO EDMOND.

AND SO I WOULD LOVE TO, I KNOW YOU'RE COMPLETELY OPEN TO IT AND, AND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CONVERSATION, AND I WOULD LOVE TO ADD THAT AS A MAJOR, MAJOR COMPONENT TO OUR ECONOMIC, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE, UM, TO TRY TO HELP GROW THAT CONVERSATION IN EDMOND.

VERY GOOD.

VERY AGREE.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS FOR MICHELLE? THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

AND THE NEXT APPROVAL PROFESSIONAL SERVICE CONTRACT OR FREESE AND NICHOLS FOR THE WATER MASTER PLAN APPROVAL OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICES, CONTRACT AMENDMENT, NUMBER ONE, WHAT COUNT GROUP FOR THE WASTEWATER MASTER PLAN APPROVE AMENDMENT AGREEMENTS WITH D H ELLIOT CONSTRUCTION FOR ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION PROJECTS FOR THE ELECTRICAL DEPARTMENT AND APPROVAL OF LABORATORY TESTINGS FOR THE WATER AND WASTEWATER COMPLIANCE FOR FISCAL YEAR OF 23, A LOT OF WATER PROJECTS THERE, BUT A LOT OF ADDITIONAL PURCHASES THAT WE HAVE TO MAKE TO SUSTAIN THIS COMMUNITY OF OURS COUNCIL.

NOW.

PENDING DISCUSSION ITEMS, CASE NUMBER S P TWO TWO DASH 0 0 0 1 FOR PUBLIC HEARING CONSIDERATION FOR A SITE PLAN APPLICATION FOR CREST FRESH MARKET LOCATED ON THE WEST SIDE OF SOONER ROAD, NORTH OF COALVILLE ROAD.

CHRIS FOODS OF NORTHWEST EDMOND, LLC IS THE APPLICANT.

IS THE APPLICANT HERE THIS EVENING.

PROVIDED ALONG ALL SIDES OF THE BUILDING.

AS YOU SAID, THE APPLICANT WAS REQUESTING APPROVAL OF A COMMERCIAL SITE PLAN, UH, FOR CREST FRESH MARKET ON THE WEST SIDE OF SOONER NORTH DAKOTA VEL.

OTHER GROCERY STORE HAD A PREVIOUSLY APPROVED SITE PLAN IN 2017, BUT A BUILDING PERMIT WAS NOT OBTAINED AND THE SITE PLAN EXPIRED.

UH, THEY ARE NOW BACK AND READY TO GO ON THAT SITE.

UH, THE PLANS HAVE CHANGED ONLY SLIGHTLY.

UH, IT WAS ZONED AT PUD IN 2014, WHICH ALLOWED FOR THE GROCERY STORE AND OTHER RETAIL USES.

UH, THE BUILDING IS PROPOSED TO BE 101, UH, 422,000 SQUARE FEET.

AND IT WILL BE 33 FEET TALL AND HAVE PAINTED CONCRETE PANELS WITH BRICK VENEER.

UH, THE PRECAST PANELS DO REQUIRE A VARIANCE TO TITLE 22 AND THE STANDARDS, BUT A SIMILAR VARIANCE WAS APPROVED FOR THE CONFERENCE CENTER AND THE THEATER ACROSS THE STREET.

UH, ANOTHER VARIANCE BEING REQUESTED IS TO THE REQUIREMENT OF A PARAPET WALL BEING

[01:15:01]

UH, THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING TO USE LANDSCAPING ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE BUILDING AS IS ELEVATED, UH, APPROXIMATELY 14 FEET, UH, WITH A RETAINING WALL IN THE LANDSCAPING WILL OBSCURE THE MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT.

ON TOP OF THE BUILDING.

THE SITE ALSO HAS 737 PARKING SPACES, WHICH WILL HAVE FOUR ACCESS POINTS ON THE FAIRFAX BOULEVARD, ONE ON THE KOVAL AND TWO ON THE SOONER ROAD.

UH, THE NORTH EASTERN MOST DRIVE ON THE FAIRFAX ALSO NEEDS A VARIANCE BECAUSE IT DOES NOT MEET THE 150 FEET SEPARATION REQUIREMENT.

IT'S ONLY 105 FEET.

UH, ENGINEERING STAFF HAS REVIEWED AND SUPPORTS THE VARIANCE.

UH, THE LIGHTING LANDSCAPING AND SOLID WASTE AND ELECTRICAL PLANS ARE ALL COMPLIANT.

PLANNING, COMMISSIONER REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED APPROVAL AT THEIR JUNE 7TH MEETING.

THANK YOU, COUNSEL.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF, THE APPLICANT LIKE TO ADD ANYTHING TO THIS APPLICATION? GOOD EVENING, MR. MAYOR AND THE COUNCIL.

UH, THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY MOM WITH CONVEYED SMC CONSULTING ENGINEERS EIGHT 15 WESTMAN 71 6.

UH, I HAVE OUR DESIGN TEAM WITH ME, UH, BJ, UH, WITH TRAFFIC ENGINEERING CONSULTANT, MARK THOMAS, WHO IS OUR BUILDING ARCHITECT.

UH, MARK MEYER IS OUR LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT AND I OWN A REPRESENTATION FROM CHRIS, KEVIN EDGAR AND BRIDE, UH, BESIDE ITSELF.

UH, YOU ARE VERY MUCH FAMILIAR WITH IT, HOPEFULLY, UH, BACK IN 2017, UH, WHEN WE WERE IN FRONT OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION, UH, AT THAT TIME, THE PLAN WAS TO START CONSTRUCTION OF THE SITE PLAN, BUT DUE TO THE SOME ECONOMIC CHALLENGES AND THE NEWCOMERS IN THE GROCERY RETAILER, WE DECIDED TO WAIT AS WELL AS THE ALONG THE, UH, TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENTS, WHICH WERE TAKING ALONG COLDWELL AND SOONER.

UH, THOSE NOW HAVE BEEN COMPLETED.

SO WE FEEL LIKE IT IS A RIGHT TIME TO MOBILIZE THIS PROJECT THERE, UH, THE BUILDING ITSELF, IF WE CAN GO BACK TO THE, OUR SITE PLAN, PLEASE.

UH, SO THE BUILDING ITSELF IS A HUNDRED PLUS THOUSAND SQUARE FEET OF BUILDING AND FACES ON THE ROAD OVER THERE AND TO A DISTANCE OVER THERE, WE'LL HAVE THE COVID.

SO JUST TO KIND OF GIVE AN ORIENTATION TO EVERYONE HERE, THE NORTH IS TOWARD YOUR RIDE AS WEST IS IN THE SOUTH OVER THERE.

SO, UH, WE ARE REQUESTING, UH, FOR THE SITE PLAN APPROVAL WITH ENDED PLUS THOUSAND SQUARE FEET OF BUILDING A SURROUNDING OF IT IS PARKING SPACES.

ACCESS TO THE SITE IS AVAILABLE ALONG, UH, FAIRFAX BOULEVARD HERE, AS WELL AS ALONG SOONER ROAD.

UH, THERE IS A MEDIAN CONSTRUCTED OVER HERE ALONG SOONER ROAD.

SO THIS DRIVEWAY ITSELF ALMOST WORKS LIKE A RIGHT IN, RIGHT OUT, DRIVE IT OVER HERE.

UH, THE ENTRANCE TO THE MAIN ENTRANCE TO THE, OUR SIDE, UH, WILL BE ACROSS THE CONFERENCE CENTER AND HOTEL CENTER.

AND THIS DRIVE WILL BE COORDINATED WITH THE PROPOSED DRIVE, UH, FOR THE CREST.

UH, THE RIGHT NOW IS A TEEN INTERSECTION WITH NO STOP CONTROL, BUT GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC WE MADE RED CROSS BETWEEN THESE SUICIDE, A TRAFFIC SIGNAL IS PROPOSED AS PART OF THIS.

I PLAN, WE ARE WORKING WITH THE CITY, UH, IN A PARTNERSHIP FOR THE PROPOSED SIGNALIZATION OF THIS INTERSECTION OVER HERE.

UH, THE ACCESS TO THE, UH, FAIRFAX BOULEVARD IS ALONG THIS DRIVEWAY, WHICH IS PART OF THE VARIANCE REQUEST BECAUSE FOR EFFECTS BOULEVARD BACK IN 2017 WAS CONSTRUCTED AND WE ARE TYING INTO THE EXISTING DRIVER LOCATION OVER THERE.

OUR WESTIE WILL DRIVE, WHICH WE CALL IT ALONG FRONT OF THE BUILDING.

UH, WE'LL HAVE ACCESS TO COEL AS WELL AS ALONG ACCESS TO FAIRFAX BOULEVARD OVER THERE.

UH, WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THIS STAFF, UH, FOR A FEW MONTHS NOW AND ABLE TO, UH, WORK THROUGH THE LANDSCAPING LIGHTING, UH, NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES, PARKING SPACES FOR BICYCLE.

AND IF WE LIKE IT, WE ARE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THOSE ITEMS, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF COUPLE OF VARIOUS ITEMS, WHICH I'LL MENTIONED ABOUT, I JUST RECENTLY MENTIONED ABOUT THE DRIVERS SPACING OVER THERE, AND I HAVE OUR PROJECT ARCHITECT, MARK THOMAS.

UH, I'LL INVITE HIM TO TALK ABOUT THE VARIANCES, WHAT WE ARE REQUESTING FOR THE GROCERY STORE, UH, AS FAR AS THE, UH, CEMETERY OF THE BUILDING LINES ALONG THE SIDE, AND THEN THE LANDSCAPING SCREENING, UH, I'LL JUST BRIEFLY TOUCH ON THE LIGHTING AND SOME OF THESE ITEMS, WHICH USUALLY HAVE INTEREST TO PEOPLE THAT HOW ARE WE DOING? SO, AS YOU MAY HAVE HEARD FROM YOUR PLANNING DIRECTOR, THAT ALLOWING YOUR PORTION OF THE SOUTH OF THE BUILDING, AS WELL AS ALONG A PORTION OF THE WEST SIDE OF THE BUILDING, UH, THERE

[01:20:01]

IS A, ALMOST 14 TO 15 TALL RETAINING WALL THERE, FAIRFAX, BUT IT WAS, UH, RELATIVELY HIGHER THAN OUR FINISHED FLOOR OF THE BUILDING BY 14 PLUS 15 FEET.

AND THEN WE ARE PROPOSING LANDSCAPE IS CRANING ALONG THE WEST SIDE, AS WELL AS ALL ALONG THE NORTH SIDE OF THE BUILDING IN THIS AREA, UH, WITH THE DIFFERENCE IN ELEVATION OVER THERE, WE FEEL LIKE IT THAT THE LANDSCAPING WOULD PROVIDE GOOD AMOUNT OF HIS SCREENING TO, UH, TO SCREEN THIS TRUCK DOCK AREA, WHICH IS, UH, ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE TRUCK, UH, BUILDING, UH, AND THEN AS WELL AS THE MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT LIKE GENERATOR AND TRANSFORMER OVER THERE, UH, WE HAVE A TRASH COMPACTOR WHICH IS REALLY CLOSE AND THAT WILL PERMIT PREVENT ANY, UH, ESCAPE OF ANY TRASH OR DEBRIS, WHICH TYPICALLY YOU SEE IN THIS OPEN CONTAINER, THIS WILL NOT BE THE OPEN CONTAINER TYPE TRASH AND ENCLOSURE.

UH, THE LIGHTING IS PROPOSED THROUGHOUT THE PARKING SPACES, AS WELL AS ALONG THE PERIMETER OF THE SITE.

THE LIGHTING IS LED TYPE LIGHTING AND NOT TO EXCEED 24 FEET, WHICH COMPLIES WITH THE CITY REQUIREMENT AS WELL AS THE LIGHT ITSELF FACES DOWNWARD.

SO THERE WILL NOT BE ANY LIGHTING ENCROACHMENT ACROSS THE PORTION OF THIS TREE.

SO ALL OF THE LIGHTING WOULD POINT DOWNWARD THERE AND, UH, THEY WILL NOT BE ANY LIGHT POLLUTION, UH, GETTING OUTSIDE THE SITE AREA THERE AS FAR AS THE OPERATION OF THE TRUCK, UH, DELIVERY, UH, GOES, UH, W OUR TRUCK WELL IS IN THIS AREA.

AND AGAIN, RELATIVELY SPEAKING IN TERM OF ELEVATION, FAIRFAX BOULEVARD IS SITTING AT MUCH HIGHER ELEVATION THERE, AND THE TRUCK ITSELF SITS IN A TRUCK WELL, SO IT ELIMINATES ANY TRAVEL OF THE NOISE WHERE IT DIFF IT CREATES A DEFLECTION AND DOES NOT ALLOW TRAVEL OF THE NOISE IN A STRAIGHT PATH.

THERE, WE FEEL LIKE IT THAT, UH, THE SITE ITSELF IS, UH, SURROUNDED BY THE OFFICES SPACES, UH, IN THE SOUTHWEST AREA, AS WELL AS FUTURE OFFICES SPACES ON THE NORTH SIDE THERE.

AND THEN THERE'S A CLUBHOUSE FOR THE GOAL.

THE SURROUNDING OFFICE ARE APPROPRIATE FOR THIS TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT OVER THERE FOR LACK OF THE NOISE AND THE LIGHTING ARE CONTAINED WITHIN THE PERIMETER OF THE SITE.

UH, WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR ANY VARIANCES ON THE SIGN, WHICH IS USUALLY THE POINT OF CONCERN FOR EVERYONE.

UH, WE COMPLY WITH OUR EIGHT FOOT MONUMENT SIGN IS LOCATED IN THIS AREA AND ALL OUR SIGNAGE ALONG THE BUILDING COMPLIES, UH, WITH THE CITY STANDARD OVER THERE.

UH, THERE'S AN EXCEEDINGLY AMOUNT OF LANDSCAPING, UH, DISTRIBUTE IT THROUGHOUT THE SITE.

ALL OF THESE ISLANDS, YOU ARE.

SO ALL OF THESE PARKING SPACES ARE SEPARATED BY LANDSCAPE ISLAND AND EACH SK PILE AND AS MULTIPLE NUMBER OF TREES IN THAT AREA.

SO NOT ONLY WE ARE COMPLYING WITH THE LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENT AS PART OF THE ZONING, WE HAVE TO PROVIDE THE ADDITIONAL 10% OF LANDSCAPING.

AND THAT'S ON TOP OF THE ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPING WE ARE PROPOSING, UH, ALONG BACKSIDE IN THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE BUILDING FOR THE SCREENING OF THE MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT HERE.

SO WITH YOUR PERMISSION, I'D LIKE TO INVITE OUR PROJECT ARCHITECT, MARK THOMAS, TO BRIEFLY TALK ABOUT SOME VARIANCE, WHAT RELATED TO THE BUILDING THERE, SO HE CAN MOVE TO THE ELEVATION DRAWING WITH A CROSS-SECTION, THAT'S IT.

MARK THOMAS, UH, 35 OR EIGHT EAST 75TH STREET, TULSA, THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK A LITTLE BIT.

WE HAVE A COUPLE OF VARIANCES WE'RE ASKING FOR.

UM, ONE OF THEM IS TO ALLOW FOR, UH, CONCRETE PANELS, WHICH ARE ON THE, THE REAR AND THE SIDES OF THE BUILDING.

THESE ARE, UH, MY POINT OF REFERENCE.

THEY'RE THE SAME CONSTRUCTION AND DESIGN TYPE AS ON THE CINEMA THAT IS IMMEDIATELY ACROSS THE STREET.

UM, SO, UH, THEN WE'VE ALSO INTENTIONALLY MIMICKED THE BRICK AND THE CONSTRUCTION THAT'S ON THE, UH, THE CONFERENCE CENTER, SO THAT THE BUILDING SETS IN THE, IN THE ENVIRONMENT.

WELL, WE THINK, UM, SO THAT IS ONE OF THE VARIANCES AS MUHAMMAD DISCUSSED.

THE OTHER IS TO ALLOW THIS SCREENING, WHICH THIS AREA YOU CAN KIND OF DEPICT THAT, UH, THE TREE IS HERE, TRUCK DOCK

[01:25:01]

WELLS IN THIS AREA.

SO THESE ARE INTENDED TO SCREEN THE ROOF AND THE TRUCK DOCK AREAS INSTEAD OF HAVING A ROOF PARAPET, WHICH WE FEEL LIKE THE SCREENING WITH THE LANDSCAPING IS MORE PLEASANT.

PLUS IT'S MORE EFFECTIVE BECAUSE WE'RE LOOKING DOWN ON THIS BUILDING INSTEAD OF, UH, BEING PARALLEL TO IT.

AND THEN THE LAST VARIANCE IS, UM, THE CODE HAS A REQUIREMENT FOR ON A LINEAL PART OF THE BUILDING HERE THAT THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING ACTUALLY PROJECTS.

AND I BELIEVE THE INTENTION FOR THAT IS TO BREAK UP THE, UH, UH, THE LINEAR NATURE OF THAT, MAKE IT MORE ARCHITECTURALLY PLEASING, UH, THE, WHAT WE'VE CHOSEN TO DO, OBVIOUSLY A GROCERY STORE HAS LINEAL ARRANGEMENTS OF, UH, THE CASES AND EVERYTHING ON THE INTERIOR.

AND SO THESE BUMPS, SO TO SPEAK ARE NOT, UH, VERY CONDUCIVE TO THE INTERIOR DESIGN.

SO WHAT WE'VE CHOSEN TO DO IS WE HAVE COME UP TO THE BUILDING AND PUT LANDSCAPE ISLANDS, UH, AND USE THE, THE TREES AND THE LANDSCAPING TO TAKE THE PLACE, TO BREAK UP THE BUILDING.

UH, AND THAT'S, UH, I THINK THAT'S ALL THE ONES WE HAD IT.

THANK YOU AGAIN.

THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING THIS AND OUR TEAM WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

TELL TONY ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT.

NO, THANK YOU FOR COMING BACK.

I WANT TO COMPLIMENT CREST AND THE TEAM WHEN THEY REACHED OUT AND MET WITH US IN TWOS, AND THAT'S ALWAYS HELPFUL, UM, BEFORE OUR MEETING AND, AND I HAD TO LAUGH BECAUSE THEY SAID WE'RE PLEASED TO SHOW YOU THE AMOUNT OF LANDSCAPING THAT WE, I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER HEARD THAT BEFORE, BUT YOU'RE PLEASED TO PUT IN SO MUCH LANDSCAPING.

IT IS THAT PARKING LOT IS GOING TO LOOK REALLY GOOD.

ANY QUESTIONS? COMMENTS FROM THE AUDIENCE? YES, SIR.

COME ON DOWN AND INTRODUCE YOURSELF.

UH, JUST A FEW QUESTIONS, SIR.

UH, THIS IS FOR THE CITY PART OF IT.

WE LOVE THE IDEA OF GOING CREST, BUT REMEMBER COVID IS A TWO LANE AND SO ARE THE OTHER STREETS AROUND IT.

AND SO IS DAN FORTH IN THAT AREA? MY CONCERN IS YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO HAVE TO PAY FOR THE ROADS CONSTRUCTION TO GET THERE BECAUSE IT'S BLOCKED NOW, YOU KNOW, ON DAN FORTH HILL, I CALL IT DANFORTH HILL.

WHEN YOU HAVE TO EXIT OFF BY 35 TO GET ONTO DANFORTH, THAT BACKS UP ABOUT FIVE O'CLOCK ALL THE WAY DOWN 35.

SO WE'RE GOING TO FEED IN, I'M ASSUMING, BECAUSE WE CAN'T GET ON THE HIGHWAYS.

NOW, THE ROADS NOW WE'RE GOING TO FEED INTO TO GET THERE.

AND THAT'S A PROBLEM.

SO MY QUESTION IS WHAT IS THE CITY DOING? I MEAN, I'M SURE THE PLANNERS HAVE FIGURED ALL THIS OUT.

ARE WE GOING TO EXPAND COBELL AND THE OTHER STREETS TO FEED INTO THE CENTER TO GET TO THAT PLACE? BECAUSE THAT'S GOING TO BE, WE'RE ALREADY IN TROUBLE WITH ALL THE SCHOOLS AND STUFF IN THERE.

SO I'M JUST ASKING A QUESTION.

HAVE WE PLANNED FOR THAT ON ALL THE ROADS GOING TO BE BUILT AND BE IN PLACE BEFORE THE PLACE WAS BUILT, BUT AT OUR CITY ENGINEER IT'S TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, I'M SORRY, YOU DON'T HAVE A MAP.

IF WE CAN PULL THAT SAME MAP UP THAT YOU PULLED ALL KIND OF TALK ABOUT THE CITY HAS NUMEROUS PROJECTS UNDER DESIGN IN THIS AREA.

UM, SO IF YOU CAN PAN OUT FURTHER AND MAYBE GET ME DOWN TO DANFORTH AND SOONER AS WELL.

SO, AS I MENTIONED, UM, THE BOTTLENECKS ARE THE INTERSECTIONS.

THE, THE, THE TWO LANE ROADS ARE NOT A MAJOR PROBLEM IS THE INTERSECTION.

SO AGAIN, WE JUST AWARDED AN OVERLAY HERE.

WE'RE GOING TO BE MEETING WITH MY CONTRACTOR TO SEE IF I CAN NOT GET TURN LANES AT THIS INTERSECTION, WHICH SHOULD BE SIMILAR TO WHAT'S AT BRYANT IN COALVILLE, UH, POSSIBLY AT A SIGNAL AGAIN, ALLEVIATE THOSE TRAFFIC CONCERNS.

WE ALSO ARE LOOKING AT THE SAME THING AS SOONER AND DANFORTH RIGHT HERE.

UM, WE HAVE A ULTIMATE WIDENING PROJECT IN CONJUNCTION WITH WHAT ODOD IS DOING ON I 35 AND A WHOLE NEW INTERCHANGE AT DANFORTH.

THAT'S STILL A FEW YEARS AWAY, BUT WE ARE LOOKING AT ALSO INTERIM IMPROVEMENTS AT THIS INTERSECTION TO ALLOW A LEFT TURN LANES AND SIGNALS AS WELL IN THE INTERIM TO TAKE CARE OF THOSE TRAFFIC BACKUPS WE'RE SEEING IN THE AM AND PM RUSH HOUR.

SO WE ARE WORKING ON BOTH.

WE ARE WORKING ON THIS ONE FIRST, AND THEN WE WILL MOVE BACK OVER TO DANFORTH AND SOONER, DEPENDING ON THE FUNDING.

YES, SIR.

WHO BILL IS FOUR LANE COBELL IS FOUR LANE ALL THE WAY TO PAST GRIFFIN, WHICH IS ABOUT RIDING THROUGH HERE.

AND AGAIN, WE'LL, WE'LL WIDEN THIS OUT FOR TURN LANES, AND THEN WE GO BACK AND THE INTERSECTIONS ARE WHY 18 MILLION OR SO 18 TO 20 MILLION IN THAT END LITTLE OVER, UH, WHEN YOU COUNT THE OFF-RAMPS WERE 20 PLUS.

SKEWED INTERSECTION, PUT IT BACK ON SECTION, WIDEN THIS ROAD TO FOUR LANES, UH, THEIR ENGINEERS WORKING WITH OUR ENGINEER TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING GEOMETRICALLY WORKS TOGETHER.

YOU WANT TO ADDRESS THE, UH, I'M SURE WE'LL AGAIN, WE'RE IN CONJUNCTION WITH ODAT TO, UH, WIDEN AND REMOVE THIS

[01:30:01]

THIS INTERSECTION, WE WILL BE MOVING FROM THE CURRENT, UM, OLD DESIGN THAT THERE NOW THAT IS NOT REALLY, UH, APPROPRIATE.

IF YOU COULD SHIFT ME UP JUST A LITTLE BIT HIGHER, UH, ODAT HAS ALREADY IS IN THE PROCESS OF ACQUIRING LAND ON THE EAST SIDE.

AND WE ARE WORKING WITH BOTH THESE CHURCHES.

WE'VE HAD GREAT CONVERSATIONS WITH BOTH TO PUT AN OFF-RAMP AND ON-RAMP RIGHT HERE.

SO THIS WILL BECOME A FULL INTERCHANGE WITH OFF-RAMP ON-RAMP OFF-RAMP ON-RAMP, AND THAT IS IN OATS.

IT'S A EIGHT YEAR TIP, AND WE ARE MOVING FULL SPEED HEAD ON THAT PROJECT AS WELL.

SO BOTTOM LINE IS IT'S GOING TO BE CROWDED, GOING TO CRASH, BUT IT'S WORTH IT.

WE HAD THE SAME SCENARIO WHEN THE FIRST CREST CAME HERE WITH 15TH OF SANTA FE, WHERE TWO LANE ROADS, AND WE WORKED WITH AYCOCK AND THE CITY, AND, AND WE, THERE WERE FOUR LANE ROADS.

SO WE HAD, WE HAD THE SAME SCENARIO WHEN THE FIRST STORE CAME IN.

THANK YOU, SIR.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE AUDIENCE COUNSEL? WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO? MOVE TO APPROVE THE SECOND.

OH, YOU WANT TO VOTE? OH, COOL QUESTION.

DO YOU WANT TO VOTE? YES.

PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE.

WE ALREADY VOTED THERE.

IT'S APPROVED.

YOU CREST, THANK YOU ALL FOR TAKING ALL THE TIME.

UM, MR. PAT, WE REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

SEVEN B PUBLIC HEARING CONSIDERATION OF ORDINANCE NUMBER 49 0 8 39 0 8, ADOPTING BY REFERENCE UPDATES TO THE CITY OF EDMOND PLAN 2018, THE COPPER HEADS PLAN OF THE CITY OF EDMOND AND PROVIDING FOR REPEALER IN SEVERABILITY.

NEXT ONE

[B. Public Hearing and Consideration of Ordinance No. ________ Adopting By Reference Updates to the City of Edmond Plan, 2018, The Comprehensive Plan of the City of Edmond, and providing for Repealer and Severability.]

I THINK MR. BRYAN IS HERE FOR A PRESENTATION FOR US.

THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR MEMBERS OF COUNCIL.

I'M KEN BRYAN.

I'M WORKING ON THE CITY'S LONG RANGE PLANNING TEAM.

JUST GOT A FEW COMMENTS HERE ABOUT THE AMENDMENTS TO THE, UH, PLAN.

UM, WE'RE PROPOSING, UH, TWO TYPES OF OUR TWO MAJOR CATEGORIES ARE TWO TYPES OF AMENDMENTS TO THE PLAN.

UM, ONE, THOSE DERIVED FROM THE RECENTLY APPROVED EAST ADMIN 2050 PLAN.

SO THOSE INCLUDE SOME CHANGES TO THE PLAN CATEGORY.

SO THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT WE'VE BECOME FAMILIAR WITH.

AS WE EVALUATE, UH, ZONING AND OTHER, UH, DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY, WE NEED TO PROVIDE MORE NUANCE TO THOSE PLAYING CATEGORIES AS IT PERTAINS TO VILLAGES.

SO YOU'RE, YOU'LL REMEMBER THERE WAS A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT VILLAGES AND TOWN SQUARES AND THOSE KINDS OF THINGS, AND THOSE STRONGLY INFORMED, UM, THE EAST EDMUND PLAN.

SO WE'VE, UH, WE'VE MIGRATED THOSE CHANGES FROM THE EAST EDWIN PLAN INTO THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, UM, BASICALLY TO PROVIDE MORE, UH, DESCRIPTION ON INTENSITY AND LAND USE MIX FOR THOSE AREAS.

WE'VE ADDED THE KEY INITIATIVES FROM THE EAST EDMUND PLAN.

SO REMEMBER THERE WERE FIVE MAJOR INITIATIVES, SO THAT ADDED THOSE INTO THE ACTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS SECTION OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

SO THAT MAKES IT BOTH EASY TO FIND AND, UM, EASIER TO IMPLEMENT.

THEN WE HAVE A SERIES OF, UM, RECOMMENDED AMENDMENTS RELATED TO FUNCTIONALITY AND CLARITY OF THE PLAN OVERALL.

UM, WE'RE PROPOSING TO REMOVE SOME OF THE AMBIGUITY ASSOCIATED WITH PDS AND THE GREEN, YELLOW, RED, UM, KIND OF STOPLIGHT APPROACH FOR SOME OF OUR PLANNING CATEGORIES.

UM, WE HAD A REQUEST TO ADD REFERENCES REGARDING THE VERSIONING AND ASSOCIATED DATES AND APPROVALS, UM, TO JUST MAKE IT EASIER TO KNOW FOR YOUR, YOU HAVE THE CURRENT VERSION OF THE PLAN IN FRONT OF YOU.

AND THEN WE WANT TO SIMPLIFY THE ACTION AND RECOMMENDATIONS CHAPTER.

SO THAT'S CHAPTER NINE, IF YOU RECALL, THAT'S A FAIRLY DETAILED TABLE INCLUDES START BY DATES AND RESPONSIBLE PARTIES.

AND THOSE KINDS OF THINGS, WHAT WE'D LIKE TO DO IS MOVE THAT TABLE ONTO THE WEBSITE.

SO IT'S EASIER TO TRACK AND KEEP UP TO DATE, AND WE DON'T HAVE TO COME TO THE COUNCIL TO AMEND THAT TABLE, BUT OF COURSE WE'LL KEEP THE ACTUAL ACTIONS RECOMMENDATIONS IN CHAPTER NINE OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

THOSE ARE THOSE GOING TO SUMMARIZE ALL THE CHANGES, OF COURSE, THE MARKED UP VERSIONS IN YOUR PACKET.

I'M HAPPY TO TRY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE ABOUT THAT.

AND THEN I DO HAVE A COUPLE OF COMMENTS ABOUT NEXT STEPS AS IT PERTAINS TO IMPLEMENTATION.

CANCEL ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. BRIAN RIGHT NOW? OKAY.

SO IN TERMS OF, UH, NEXT STEPS, UM, WE HAVE A MAJOR PROJECT COMING TO, UH, LOOK AT OUR DEVELOPMENT CODES.

SO WE'VE ISSUED A REQUEST

[01:35:01]

FOR QUALIFICATIONS.

UH, THOSE RESPONSES ARE DUE AT THE END OF THIS MONTH.

UM, WE'VE BROKEN THAT PROJECT INTO THREE PHASES.

PHASE ONE WILL BE A DIAGNOSTIC AND AUDIT OF THE CURRENT DEVELOPMENT CODES, UM, INCLUDING IMMEDIATE ACTIONS AND KEY PLANNING AREAS FOR THE EAST EDMOND PLAN.

YOU'LL RECALL.

THERE WAS SOME CONCERN THAT, UM, OUR, OUR CODES DIDN'T DO A GOOD JOB HELPING IMPLEMENT THE EAST EDMOND PLAN.

AND WERE THERE THINGS THAT WE COULD DO TO KIND OF PROTECT THOSE AREAS IN THE INTERIM? SO WE'VE INCLUDED THAT ACTIVITY FOR, UM, FOR A SELECTED CONSULTANT IN PHASE ONE, WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO BE DONE WITHIN THREE TO FOUR MONTHS OF NOTICE TO PROCEED OF THIS PROJECT, UM, BASED ON THE RESULTS OF THE DIAGNOSTIC OR AUDIT, UM, THERE MAY BE A SECOND PHASE WHICH WOULD BE TO UPDATE THE DEVELOPMENT CODES AND THEN BASED ON, UM, THOSE CHANGES, IF THERE ARE CHANGES TO THE DEVELOPMENT CODES THAT ARE, UH, THAT REQUIRE CHANGES TO THE MAP, THAT WOULD BE AN ADDITIONAL THIRD PHASE OF THIS OVERALL PROJECT.

BUT ON THAT, THAT CONSULTANT THAT WOULD BE HIRED TO DO THAT.

WHAT DO YOU, WHAT KIND OF BACKGROUND DO YOU SEE FROM THAT FROM, IS IT CIVIL FIRM? IS IT A ARCHITECTURAL FIRM, LAND PLANNING ALL OF THE ABOVE.

SO THERE ARE FIRMS THAT KIND OF SPECIALIZE IN DEVELOPMENT CODE AND THEY INCLUDE MANY OF THE DISCIPLINES THAT YOU'VE REFERENCED.

UM, UM, WE'RE AWARE THAT WE'RE DOING OUR KIND OF OUR STUDY ON THE DRAINAGE CODE IN TERMS OF LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT.

SO WE HAVE, WE, WE MAY SEE SOME RECOMMENDATIONS RELATED THAT PORTION OF THE DEVELOPMENT CODE COME OUT OF THAT PROJECT.

SO WE HAVE, UM, SIGNALED TO RESPONDERS.

SO OUR RFQ THAT THEY MAY WANT A CIVIL, UM, EXPERTISE ON THEIR MAYBE LIGHT MASTER PLAN AND BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND THAT AS WELL.

ABSOLUTELY.

OTHER QUESTIONS IF I DON'T BRING IT UP, MARK NASHVILLE, AND I KNOW THAT'S WHAT WE WERE TALKING TO.

YOU WANT TO DO IT MARK OR THE, SAVE IT FOR YOU.

PART OF THAT, I, I, WE TALKED ABOUT IT AT THE WORKSHOP.

I THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA THERE.

UH, WE HAVE, OBVIOUSLY DURING THIS EAST EDMUND STUDY, WE A BIG, THE BIG WORD WAS BALANCE AND WE HAVE AREAS WHERE UTILITIES CAN GET TO, AND WE KNOW THOSE ARE GOING TO BE DEVELOPED MORE THAN LIKELY BY PRIVATE DEVELOPERS AND PRIVATE LAND OWNERS WILL SELL THEIR LAND.

AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE LAND THAT UTILITIES WON'T GET TO.

AND WE KNOW WE HAVE THE CROSS TIMBERS FOREST OUT THERE IN OUR COMMUNITY, VERY MUCH APPRECIATES, UH, THE CHARACTER OF EAST EDMOND AND THE TREES AND THE CROSS TIMBERS FOREST.

AND SO BALANCING THIS, WE KNOW WE HAVE SOME DISTINCT AREAS THAT DEVELOP WHERE DEVELOPMENT CAN HAPPEN.

AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TALKING IN THAT PHASE OF WHETHER WE'RE WE'RE LOCKING SOME THINGS IN OR, OR, OR SAYING IS, THIS IS KIND OF HOW WE WANT THE PLAN TO GO AND LEAD IT IN THAT DIRECTION.

AND WE'VE TALKED ABOUT OVERLAID DISTRICTS BEING IN THAT WAY.

AND, AND I'VE HAD MARCUS TALKED WITH US AND HAS DONE IT VERY WELL.

UM, AND THEN IN OUR OWN CONVERSATIONS WITH STAFF AND, AND I AGREE WITH THIS, WHY DO IT NOW WE CAN BRING THE CONSULTANT ON AND LOOK AT ALL IDEAS, UH, THAT MAY, THAT MAY BE THE BEST IDEA.

AND, AND IT MAY NOT AS WELL.

SO I DO, I I'M OPEN TO THE CONVERSATION ON THAT.

I DO HOPE THAT IT HAPPENS SOONER THAN LATER BECAUSE BEFORE WE KNOW IT, WE MAY HAVE PROJECTS COME BEFORE US THAT ARE PUTTING IN PUTTING US IN SOME AWKWARD POSITIONS, UM, THAT AREN'T FOLLOWING THE PLAN, BUT THEY MEET OUR CURRENT CODE.

UM, AND THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT I DON'T WANT FOR US.

AND SO I AM MARK.

I THINK MARK IS SPOT ON.

I ALSO THINK THE IDEA OF HEARING THE BEST IDEAS, UH, VETTING THAT AS SPOT ON AS WELL.

SO HOPEFULLY I'VE COVERED THAT OKAY.

MORE WELL WHEN WE GET TO PUBLIC COMMENTS, WAS THERE ANYTHING ELSE FROM, SO KEN, CAN I ASK, UM, YOU TALKED ABOUT KIND OF PHASE ONE, THE DIAGNOSTIC AND INTERIM THINGS THAT CAN BE DONE, KIND OF TO AVOID SOME OF THOSE AWKWARD MOMENTS.

UM, SO THREE TO FOUR MONTHS, WHAT, WHAT DO ANTICIPATE THE TIMEFRAME TO BE WITH RESPECT TO UPDATES TO THE DEVELOPMENT CODE IN ANY MAPS? THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

I THINK IT WILL DEPEND ON THE MAGNITUDE OF THE, OF THE REVISIONS THAT ARE, THAT ARE RECOMMENDED TO US.

BUT YEAH, I MEAN, I THINK WHAT YOU'RE ALLUDING TO IS THOSE CAN BE A MULTI-YEAR PROJECTS IF YOU START RIPPING INTO YOUR CODE VERY MUCH.

I MEAN, WE WERE, WE WERE CLEAR ABOUT WHAT WE WERE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH, BUT WE WANTED TO HEAR FROM, UM, PEOPLE THAT HAVE EXPERTISE IN THAT AREA ABOUT WHAT TOOLS THEY MIGHT RECOMMEND TO, TO HELP US WITH THAT.

BUT THE IDEA IS IN THIS FIRST PHASE, MAYBE THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT WE CAN DO TO PROTECT THE EAST EDMOND PLAN AND TO START STEERING IT, STEERING IT IN THE, AND MAYBE SOME OVERLAY DISTRICTS OR DOES THAT HAVE TO COME TO RIGHT? UH, WHEN WE DID LEAVE IT OPEN IN THE RFQ,

[01:40:01]

WELL, I'M EXCITED THAT WE'RE, SO THE RFQ HAVE BEEN ISSUED AND THEY'RE DUE BY THE END OF THE MONTH, YOU SAID? YEAH.

OKAY, GREAT.

AND TO JUNE OR JULY, JUNE, END OF JUNE.

SO JUST IN A FEW DAYS, GREAT.

LATER, I THINK WE CAN GET CAUGHT CITIZENS' COMMENTS AT THE END.

I MEAN, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE CITIZENS COMMENT FOR THIS.

YES THERE'S NO, BUT WE WERE NOT FITTING WITH OUR PORTION OF TALKING TO STAFF.

I GOT YOU.

AND THEN MOVE UP.

DID ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. BRIAN RIGHT NOW? EVERYBODY KEEP ME STRAIGHT.

THANKS, KEN.

SO SINCE JOSH SPOKE FOR IT, NO CITIZENS COMMENT AND ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WOULD LIKE TO COMMENTS, QUESTIONS, CONCERNS, INTRODUCE YOURSELF, SIR.

MARK NASH, 16 KIMBRA WIC CIRCLE, AND A MEMBER OF THE PLANT ADVISORY COMMITTEE.

UH, COUNCILMAN MOORE.

YOU DID A, A VERY GOOD JOB.

UM, BUT YOU KNOW, HAVING WORKED FOR THE GOVERNMENT FOR OVER 10 YEARS OF MY LIFE, UM, AT FAIRLY HIGH LEVELS IN THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA, I UNDERSTAND THAT WHEN WE HAVE A PROJECT THIS BIG, AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ONE THING, HOW EASY IT IS WHEN WE GET DOWN INTO THE WEEDS TO LOSE SIGHT OF IT AND THROUGH THIS ENTIRE PROCESS AND ALL OF THE MEETINGS THAT WE'VE ATTENDED, I HAVE REPEATEDLY SAID AS HAVE OTHER MEMBERS OF THE PLAN ADVISORY COMMITTEE SAID, WHY ARE WE NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THE SPECIFIC DISTRICTS WE HAVE? WHY ARE WE NOT TALKING ABOUT OVERLAY DISTRICTS? WE GET INTO THE AMENDMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN BROUGHT TO YOU ALL TONIGHT.

AND ON PAGE 70, WE EXPLORE THE FEASIBILITY OF ESTABLISHING A PUBLIC SAFETY DISTRICT.

WE EXPLORE THE USE OF DEVELOPMENT, IMPACT FEES.

WE EXPLORE THE FEASIBILITY OF A STREET MAINTENANCE FEE.

HOW HARD WOULD IT HAVE BEEN TO INCLUDE ONE SENTENCE THAT SAID THEY EXPLORE THE FEASIBILITY OF ESTABLISHING OVERLAY DISTRICT SO THAT THIS DOESN'T GET LOST.

I MEAN, WE'VE GOT A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT PUT A LOT OF WORK INTO THIS AND EVERYTHING IN THIS UPDATE HERE, I THINK IS WONDERFUL.

I JUST THINK IT'S MISSING ONE SENTENCE AND I THINK A LOT OF IT'S LIKE THAT.

REASON WHY HAVE WE'VE, WE'VE GOT TO GET TO THIS.

THANK YOU, MARTIN.

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE, LIKE QUESTIONS, COMMENTS? YES, SIR.

COME ON UP AND INTRODUCE YOURSELF TO US DENIED.

HI, GOOD EVENING, RICHARD REICH, 100 NORTH CEDAR MOUNTAIN ROAD, UM, MOUNTAIN NEW PARK.

UM, IN ADDITION TO WHAT MARK MARK SAID, AND I AGREE WITH THAT, AND WE'VE, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS EXTENSIVELY AS WELL, SO, UM, WE'RE DEFINITELY IN FAVOR OF DOING THIS.

AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING HERE IS, UH, AND I KNOW YOU'RE ALL AWARE OF IT, BUT IT'S KIND OF A PUBLIC IMAGE THING AS WELL.

UM, SOME OF THE DEVELOPMENT THAT'S GOING ON OUT THERE IS TOTALLY, UM, LIKE IN, IN, UH, IN CONTRARY, WELL, UH, AGAINST THE WHOLE EAST EDMOND PLAN WITH THE CUTTING OF THE TREES.

AND ONE OF THE THINGS I NOTICED WAS WE PUT OUT OR THE CITY PUT OUT A PRESS RELEASE SAYING THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE A TREE CITY.

AND A LOT OF THE COMMENTS THAT CAME BACK ON THAT WERE WELL, WELL, WHAT'S HAPPENING IN EAST EDMOND, WHAT'S HAPPENING AT DANFORTH AND I 35, WHAT'S HAPPENING AT WOODLAND PARK.

SO APTLY NAMED, UM, AND IS THAT GOING TO HAPPEN ON ROUTE 66? AND MY POINT IS TO JUST, UM, HAVE SOME TIME SENSITIVITY TO THIS, BECAUSE I KNOW ALL THAT STUFF WAS GRANDFATHERED.

I'M NOT BLAMING THE PLANNING COMMISSIONER, ANYBODY HERE.

UM, AND I UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON, BUT THE PUBLIC DOESN'T AND TO SEE THESE DEVELOPMENTS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP LIKE THIS, WHERE THERE'S TOTAL DISREGARD FOR THE LANDSCAPE.

AND WHAT WE TRIED TO DO IN ON THE EAST EDMUND PLAN IS, IS REALLY, UM, KIND OF PUTTING US BEHIND THE EIGHT BALL ON THIS.

AND, YOU KNOW, THE HORSES ARE TO USE THE ANALOGY.

LAST TIME WE WERE HERE WAS THE HORSES ARE GETTING OUT OF THE BARN, BUT YOU KNOW, WE, WE HAVE TO SAVE THE ONES THAT ARE LEFT THERE.

UM, SO I, I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO HAVE SOME INTERIM STEPS, WHICH I BELIEVE MR. MORIN AND MARK HAD ALSO MENTIONED.

SO YEAH, I, I, I'M ALL I'M WELL KNOW WE'RE TALKING HERE RIGHT WHERE YOU FINISH.

YES, I WAS FINISHED.

CAN YOU HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE, DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION? NO.

UH, I DID WANT TO, I WANTED TO MAKE IT, I WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT THE PROJECTS THAT YOU REFERRED TO WERE APPROVED BEFORE, EVEN BEFORE I WAS ON CITY COUNCIL AND BEFORE WE STARTED THE EAST EDMUND STUDY.

AND THAT WAS ONE REASON WHY I THINK THOSE OF US THAT WERE HERE WHEN WE PUT, UH, THE EAST ADMIN STUDY ON OUR STRATEGIC PLAN TWO YEARS AGO, THAT WAS ONE REASON.

AND THAT WAS THE

[01:45:01]

UM, BECAUSE WE, WE KNOW THESE PROJECTS THAT ARE ALREADY APPROVED AND THEN ALSO JUMPING ON THE DEVELOPMENT TREE PRESERVATION ORDINANCE, UM, THAT WE WORKED REALLY HARD ON.

SO I, I NOT, NO OFFENSE JUST WANTED TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT THAT THOSE WERE GRANDFATHERED IN AND, AND THE EAST ADMIN PLAN IS NOT GOING TO GO INTO RETRO, UH, ACT OR, OR CHANGE THE APPROVAL OF THOSE PROJECTS, BUT WE CAN, WE CAN, UM, UH, USE THE STUDY TO, UM, TO CONSIDER FUTURE PROJECTS THAT COME BEFORE THE COUNCIL.

SO, BUT ANYWAY, THE, THE SENTENCE THAT, THAT MARK SAID, I I'M IN COMPLETE AGREEMENT WITH, AND I WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH IT BEING ADDED TO THE, TO THE DOCUMENT I'VE JUST HAVE WITH THE RFP BEING OUT.

UM, I HAVE FULL FAITH THAT, AND HAD BEEN TOLD THAT WE'RE MOVING IN THAT DIRECTION RIGHT NOW SOON.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS FROM THE AUDIENCE.

SO ARE YOU THE COUNSELOR, ARE YOU ASKING FOR THAT LANGUAGE TO BE INCLUDED IN THIS, THIS UPDATE? YEAH.

I'D ASK YOUR, I MEAN, I, I DON'T SEE A PROBLEM.

I MEAN, I, IT SAYS INVESTIGATE AND I THINK THAT'S OUR INTENT TO DO THAT, BUT I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM ADDING THAT KIND OF SENTENCE CENTER, THAT KIND OF LANGUAGE.

AND I THINK THAT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE GRANT, LIKE YOU SAID, WE'RE GOING TO INVESTIGATE IT, RIGHT? UM, YEAH.

I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO TAKE THE TIME TO THANK THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE, LIKE MARK AND RICHARD, WHO WENT, STOOD THERE WITH US THROUGH THE WHOLE PROCESS, PROVIDED FEEDBACK, READ TONS OF STUFF THAT WE GAVE THEM TO READ AND PARTICIPATED IN EVERY TIME.

SO, BUT NOW I DON'T SEE AN ISSUE WITH ADDING THAT IN AS A RECOMMENDATION.

GREAT.

WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO? WHAT'S THE LANGUAGE? WHERE DO YOU WANT TO PUT IT? WHAT YOU SAID IT REALLY WELL, THEY'RE SO HELPFUL.

TELL US WHERE WE GOT UNDER THE SECTION FOR THE EAST EDMOND 2050 PLAN ADDED BULLETS TO SAY, EXPLORE THE FEASIBILITY OF ESTABLISHING OVERLAY DISTRICTS.

OH, GOOD.

THAT'S ON PAGE 70 IN OUR PACKET.

IS THAT RIGHT? YES, SIR.

PAGE 70 OF THE PLAN OR THE PLAN? THAT'S PAGE 3 41 BACK.

YES, SIR.

SO THAT'D BE A MOTION.

WE'RE GOING TO DO A MOTION TO APPROVE WITH THE LANGUAGE, WITH THE AMENDMENT LANGUAGE, WITH THE ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE OF EXPLORE THE FEASIBILITY OF ESTABLISHING AN OVERLAY DISTRICT OR OVERLAY DISTRICTS UNDER THE EAST EDMOND 2050 PLAN SECTION OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS.

A SECOND MOTION SECOND, PLEASE GET YOUR VOTE.

THAT HAS BEEN PROVED.

PLACEMENT ON THE COUNCIL AGENDA.

THANKS.

THANK YOU, GENTLEMEN.

NEXT ITEM

[8. Citizens Comments - (This is an opportunity for citizens, both resident and non-resident, to address the City Council on city related matters not on the council agenda. Citizens must sign up to speak either online by 3:00 p.m. the day of the City Council meeting, or in person by the start of the meeting. Remarks should be directed to City Council as a whole and limited to three minutes or less.)]

IS CITIZEN COMMON.

THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR CITIZENS, BOTH RESIDENT AND NON-RESIDENT TO ADDRESS THE CITY COUNCIL OR CITY RELATED MATTERS, NOT ON THE CITY COUNCIL AGENDA, EXCUSE ME, CITIZENS MUST SIGN UP TO SPEAK EITHER ONLINE BY THREE O'CLOCK TO 3:00 PM.

THE DAY OF THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING OR IN PERSON BY THE START OF THE MEETING REMARKS SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO THE CITY COUNCIL AS A WHOLE AND LIMITED TO THREE MINUTES OR LESS, JUST TO LET EVERYONE KNOW WE DID START IMPLEMENTING TODAY A NEW POLICY THAT IF YOU DID HAVE SOMETHING TO HAND TO THE COUNCIL FOR YOUR PRESENTATION, THAT IT WOULD EITHER GO TO MS. ROBINSON OR TO THE POLICE OFFICER OVER HERE TO THE SIDE.

UH, AND THEY WERE HANDED TO US, EXCUSE ME.

SO THE FIRST PERSON IS JOY WALLACE.

TWO OF THE THINGS THAT I'M DISCUSSING THIS EVENING WAS ON HANDOUT AND WAS PRESENTED TO YOU.

UH, I HAVE PRE PREVIOUSLY REQUESTED THAT THE NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC BEING MEN AMENDED TO INCLUDE REASONING FOR ITEMS BEING DENIED

[01:50:01]

I'M REQUESTING EACH COUNCIL MEMBER AND YOU MR. MAYOR, TO EXPLAIN TO ME WHY YOU WILL NOT PLACE THIS ON THE AGENDA.

IT IS NOT CITIZEN FRIENDLY AND GIVES THE IMPRESSION THAT THE GOVERNMENT HAS TOTAL CONTROL OVER US AT THE MEETINGS.

I REMIND THIS COUNCIL THAT YOU ARE PUBLIC SERVANTS WHO ARE ELECTED TO REPRESENT THE CITIZENS OF THE COMMUNITY.

THIS MEANS THE COUNCIL SHOULD ADVOCATE FOR THE CITIZENS AND NOT THE GOVERNMENT.

YET THE AGENDA AS CURRENTLY WRITTEN IMPLIES THAT THE GOVERNMENT DECIDES WHAT IS BEST FOR THE COMMUNITY INSTEAD OF WEED.

THE PEOPLE, A SECOND REQUEST, WHICH WAS ISSUED ON THIS, ON THIS, UH, PAPER THAT WAS PASSED OUT IS THE ISSUE OF CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS AND SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS BEING HELD ON THE SAME DATES.

I REQUEST THE COMMITTEE BEFORE TO WORK WITH THE SCHOOL BOARD TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE.

THIS IS BASIC COMMON SENSE.

CITIZENS WANT TO BE INVOLVED IN THEIR CITY, GOVERNMENT AND THEIR CHILDREN'S EDUCATION.

CURRENTLY, A CITIZEN MUST DECIDE ON WHICH MEETING TO ATTEND.

WHY NOT CHANGE THE DATES AND ALLOW CITIZENS TO BE INVOLVED IN BOTH.

IF ANY COUNCIL MEMBER DOES NOT FEEL THAT THIS ISSUE IS IMPORTANT AND DECLINED TO VOTE FOR FORMING A COMMITTEE, I REQUEST THAT COUNCIL MEMBER EXPLAIN TO ME IN WRITTEN FORM WHAT THEIR REASONING IS AND JUSTIFICATION FOR NOT VOTING TO PLACE THE ISSUE ON THE AGENDA.

IF COUNCIL MEMBERS DO NOT RESPOND TO MY REQUEST, I FEAR IT WILL BE CITY COUNCIL BUSINESS AS USUAL, YOUR SILENCE AND NON-RESPONSE TO WE, THE PEOPLE SPEAKS VOLUMES OF YOUR COLLECTIVE ARROGANCE AND SELF PERCEIVED IMPORTANCE AS ELECTED OFFICIALS.

I REMIND YOU, YOU WORK FOR THE CITIZENS.

YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT US OUR TAX DOLLARS, PAY FOR YOUR SALARY, THIS BUILDING AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT MAKES THIS A GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE.

AND FOR THE PEOPLE I ASK YOU TO HONOR BOTH MY REQUEST FOR AGENDA ITEMS AND DO YOUR JOB ACTUALLY REPRESENT US.

AND I THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR PROMPT RESPONSE.

MAYOR? I THINK THAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE ADDRESSED AS A GROUP, AS A GROUP.

MA'AM NICK'S A RESIDENT IS LEONARD SCOTT, PUBLIC SERVANTS.

I'M FORMERLY REQUESTED THIS COUNCIL, UH, PLACE THE CITIZENS COMMENTS POLICY BACK ON THE AGENDA AND HAVE IT CHANGED FROM FIVE MINUTES, UH, BACK TO OUR FIRM, THREE MINUTES BACK TO FIVE MINUTES.

HERE'S THE REASONING BEHIND THAT? WHEN THE COUNCIL ADDRESSED THE ISSUE, THE CITY STAFF DID NOT PROVIDE THE NECESSARY INFORMATION FOR THE COUNCIL TO MAKE A PROPER DECISION FACTS.

THE MAYOR, SIR, YOU AND, UH, MR. MOORE REQUESTED CITIZEN COMMENTS BE SHORTENED TO THREE MINUTES.

I NEVER HEARD OF JUSTIFICATION AND REASONING FOR IT FOR DOING SO.

DURING THE COUNCIL MEETING, CITIZENS STOOD AND GAVE THEIR OPINIONS ON KEEPING THE TIME OR SHORTENING.

THE TIME SEVEN PEOPLE STOOD UP.

SIX SAID, WE WANT TO KEEP THE TIME ONE CLIENT, THE CITY ATTORNEY, PUT IT ON HOLD THE FOLLOWING WEEK.

TWO WEEKS LATER, WE SHOWED UP AND THE COUNCIL VOTED UNANIMOUSLY TO FOR THREE MINUTES.

THE REASONING WAS YOU GOT TWO OPTIONS FROM YOUR CITY STAFF.

CITY STAFF WAS NOT HERE.

THEY DIDN'T HEAR US TALK, BUT THEY MADE A RECOMMENDATION TO THE COMMITTEE FOR THREE MINUTES.

THAT'S NOT WHAT WE SAID.

WE SAID FIVE.

SO WHY WASN'T THE OPTION GIVEN TO THE COUNCIL FOR FIVE MINUTES? IT WASN'T.

YOU ONLY GAVE THEM THE THREE MINUTE OPTION FOR THAT REASON.

AND IT'S NOPE, WE DON'T ASSIGN ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT.

IT'S JUST THE STAFF FAIL US.

THE PEOPLE, BECAUSE WE SAID FIVE AND THEY SAID THREE, AND THEY ONLY OFFERED YOU THE OPTIONS OF THREE.

WE ASKED IT, IT'D BE PLACED BACK ON THE AGENDA AND WE'LL HAVE ANOTHER DEBATE ON IT SO WE CAN DISCUSS IT.

THAT'S NUMBER ONE, SIR.

YOU, UH, DURING THAT MEETING THE OTHER DAY, YOU VERBALLY ASSAULTED AN ELDERLY LADY, 75 YEARS OLD, YOU STOOD UP AND YOU SAID, ARE YOU THREATENING US? YOU ABUSED HER, SIR.

YOU BULLIED HER 75 YEAR OLD.

WOMAN'S MAYBE 125 SOAKING WET.

SHE SITTING RIGHT THERE.

THAT'S MY STEP-MOM.

ARE YOU GOING TO APOLOGIZE TO HER, SIR, FOR YOUR OUTBURST

[01:55:06]

YES IT IS.

AND, UM, AS YOU, AS, AS WE'VE MENTIONED, SEVERAL TIMES, PUBLIC COMMENT IS FOR YOU TO ADDRESS US.

IF WE'RE GOING TO MAKE ANY COMMENTS, IT WILL BE AFTER PUBLIC COMMENTS ARE.

OKAY, NEXT QUESTION.

DO YOU STOP ME FROM SPEAKING DURING A NEW BUSINESS? WOULD YOU EXPLAIN TO ME WHY YOU DIDN'T ALLOW ME TO SPEAK DURING NEW BUSINESS? MAY I THINK THE PURPOSE OF THIS IS TO ADDRESS THE GROUP.

THAT IS, THAT IS THE WHOLE THING IS WE WE'VE HAD THIS CONVERSATION BEFORE PUBLIC COMMENT IS FOR YOU TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL.

IT IS NOT A QUESTION AND ANSWER PERIOD.

WE HAVE, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS SEVERAL TIMES.

THERE ARE PERIODS THAT YOU CAN SEND US EMAIL, GIVE US CALL PHONE CALLS ON THAT.

THE 13TH.

THIS IS SAYS RIGHT HERE, RIGHT HERE, RIGHT HERE ON YOUR THREE MINUTES ARE UP.

BUT SIR, IT SAYS RIGHT HERE, IT CALLS FOR NEW BUSINESS OF CITIZENS TO COME UP, SIR, CHANGE THIS DOCUMENT THAT SAYS IT RIGHT HERE.

I'M READY TO ADJOURN THE MEETING.

NO ONE ELSE DOES.

SO YOU'RE NOT GOING TO ANSWER THE QUESTION.
