MY NAME IS OFFICER AMY BROOKS.
THIS IS DEMETRIUS CURT MY PARTNER.
UM, I THINK WE'D BOTH SAY THE OTHER IS OUR BETTER HALF.
UM, OUR BIGGEST FOCUS HAS ALWAYS BEEN COMMUNITY OUTREACH.
UH, JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT US.
SO WE'VE BEEN AT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT ROUGHLY SEVEN ISH YEARS.
UH, WORKED PATROL ABOUT FIVE AND THEN HAVE BOTH BEEN IN THE SCHOOL SINCE THEN.
HE'S AT CENTRAL AND I'M AT HARTLAND.
UM, BOTH NAZA TRAINED AS SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS.
WE ARE ON THE CRISIS, HOSTAGE NEGOTIATIONS, TEAM, CRISIS INTERVENTION TEAM, AND PEER SUPPORT TEAM.
BUT OF THE THINGS THAT WE DO, I CAN TELL YOU THAT THIS HAS BY FAR BEEN THE MOST REWARDING.
UM, THESE KIDS ARE INCREDIBLE.
AND SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO YOU GUYS, HEARING FROM THEM IN JUST A MINUTE, AND I WILL PASS IT OVER TO CURT.
WELL, Y SO THROUGHOUT MY SEVEN YEARS, BEING HERE, I'VE HAD LOTS OF PARENTS WHO WOULD COME UP TO ME AND THEY WOULD SAY, YOU KNOW, I'M HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY CHILD.
IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO IS ANYWHERE I CAN TAKE THEM.
THEY HAVEN'T COMMITTED A CRIME OR NOT IN THE SYSTEM, BUT THEY WANT SOMETHING, BUT THEY HAVE SOME TYPE OF ISSUES.
AND WHEN THEY SAID THAT IT WASN'T ANYTHING THAT I KNEW OF AVAILABLE, I COULD TELL THEM, YOU KNOW, UH, TO GO TO GO CHECK OUT.
SO I GAVE ME WAS SAYING WITH BOTH, UH, NOT ONLY SROC, BUT WE DO A LOT OF COMMUNITY STUFF.
SO WE ARE LIKE INVESTED NOT ONLY IN YOUNG PEOPLE, BUT THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE.
AND SO WE WANTED TO GET SOMETHING GOING THAT WE COULD IMPACT YOUNG PEOPLE IMPACT THE COMMUNITY.
AND IT'S, UH, THREE CORE PRINCIPLES THAT WE WENT OVER, UH, IN THE SUMMERTIME WAS INTEGRITY, COMMUNITY AND PURPOSE.
AND I FEEL LIKE WORKING WITH YOUNG PEOPLE AND I CAN, UM, I CAN SPEAK, FRANKLY.
I'M SURE THAT SHE FEELS THE SAME WAY.
I FEEL LIKE, UH, I'M WALKING IN MY PURPOSE.
I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH THESE YOUNG PEOPLE EVERY SINGLE DAY.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I FEEL LIKE I WAS BORN TO DO.
AND OUR PROGRAM WAS 100% DONATION BASED.
SO THE SELECTION PROCESS, WE FOUND A LOT OF PEOPLE ASK US ABOUT THAT.
UM, BIG SHOUT OUTS AND THEN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
CAUSE WE COULD NOT HAVE DONE THIS WITHOUT THEM.
UH, WE WENT AND WE HAD A MEETING WITH EVERY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PRINCIPAL AND TOLD THEM WHAT WE WERE LOOKING FOR.
UM, MAINLY KIDS HAVE INFLUENCED WHETHER POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE, BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT YOUR SCHOOLS, MOST
[00:05:01]
PRINCIPALS CAN IDENTIFY SOME KID THAT OTHERS GRAVITATE TOWARDS.UM, AND THOSE WERE THE STUDENTS WHO WERE LOOKING FOR THE GOAL WAS THAT WE'D HAVE A TRICKLE DOWN EFFECT, RIGHT? TO BE, BRING THESE KIDS IN THE CAMP.
WE TEACH THEM SOME OF THESE BASICS ABOUT LEADERSHIP, SEND THEM BACK INTO SCHOOLS.
AND THEN SLOWLY THAT TRICKLES DOWN FROM KID TO KID, TO KID, UM, QUIT BEING COMMUNITY LEADERS, KIND OF LIKE IT SAYS FLAT WAS OUR MAIN GOAL LEADERSHIP, THE PARENT GUARDIAN INVOLVEMENT.
THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT WE REALLY WANTED.
UM, AS FAR AS THE LIST OF KIDS THAT WE GOT, WE MET WITH EVERY SINGLE STUDENT AND THEIR PARENTS.
UM, WE WENT OVER KIND OF THE GUIDELINES AND FUNDAMENTALS OF WHAT THE CAMP WAS GOING TO BE.
CAUSE WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE IT WAS GOING TO BE A GOOD MATCH.
UM, SO FROM THAT, WE GOT A LIST OF THINGS ABOUT 55 KIDS.
UM, THEY SAYING WE WANTED MAXIMUM ADMISSION WITH, YOU KNOW, AS THE CAMP PROGRESSES, I'M HOPING THAT WE CAN HAVE MORE AND MORE KIDS COME THROUGH THE PROGRAM.
BUT OBVIOUSLY THIS FIRST TIME WAS, YOU KNOW, LEARNING EXPERIENCE LEARNING CURVE, BUT I CAN TELL YOU THAT IT WAS EXTREMELY SUCCESSFUL.
SO WE HAVE SOME OF OUR BEST AND BRIGHTEST OVER HERE THAT HAVE COUPLE OF THINGS THEY WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU.
UM, SO THAT'D BE, I WILL BRING YOU ON UP.
MY EXPERIENCE AT CAMP WAS REALLY FUN AND FULL OF COOL SURPRISES.
WE GOT TO GO TO MANY PLACES LIKE THE SCIENCE MUSEUM, SURGE, SHOWBIZ, ET CETERA.
WE GOT TO LEARN QUITE A BIT OF BOXING.
COACH KIRK SHOWED US SOME SWEET MOVES.
MANY DAYS, WE WOULD SIT IN A CIRCLE AND TALK ABOUT OUR WORDS KNOWN AS LEADERSHIP, EMPATHY, ATTITUDE, AND DETERMINATION.
HERE'S ONE WAY I USED IT THIS MONTH WHEN I WAS ON A LAKE TRIP, WE WENT TUBING AND I REALLY WANTED TO GO FAST, BUT A YOUNGER FRIEND OF MINE WHO WAS 5, 1, 2 TO GO, BUT SHE WAS WET, BUT SHE WAS NERVOUS ON HER FIRST TURN.
SHE WENT WITH MY MOM AND LET'S SAY, SHE DIDN'T REALLY LIKE IT AT ALL ON HER NEXT TURN.
SHE WENT WITH ME NOW, YOU ALREADY KNOW THAT I REALLY LOVE GOING FAST, BUT MY FRIEND FINNEY DID NOT.
SO WE WANT THE SPEECH SHE WANTED BECAUSE SHE WAS NEW TO TUBING AND I DIDN'T WANT HER TO NOT HAVE FUN.
I LEARNED LOTS OF THINGS AT CAMPS, SUCH AS BOXING AND THAT MY COACHES THOUGHT I COULD BE A MOVIE STAR.
IF I DO GET TO BE ONE, COACH BROOKS WOULD BE WILLING TO BE MY GAUDY BARRED FUN.
RIGHT? I RECOMMEND THIS CAMP TO KIDS WHO HAVE GOOD PERSONALITIES.
I ALSO RECOMMEND THIS CAMP TO KIDS BECAUSE THEY WOULD HAVE A BLAST AND THEN THEY COULD LEARN NEW THINGS TO HELP THEM BECOME A BETTER LEADER OR A BETTER PERSON.
THE COACHES LAST OFFICER SLASH OFFICERS ARE GREAT PEOPLE TO HANG OUT WITH.
I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT DAY.
I TALK ABOUT BOXING AND INBOXING.
YOU HAVE TO HAVE DETERMINATION AND IT IN MY HANDS WOULD GET TIRED.
THEY'D GET SWEATY AND DID HURT, BUT I WANTED TO KEEP ON GOING.
SO, UH, AND I LEARNED THAT IF WE, BUT I LEARNED THAT IF WE, UM, IF WE HAVE DETERMINATION, WE WILL BE ABLE TO DO ANYTHING.
I'M HERE TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE SPEAKERS THAT CAME INTO OUR CLASSROOM.
UM, WE HAD A COUPLE PEOPLE COME IN AND TALK TO US ABOUT THE THINGS THAT THEY'RE DOING AROUND THE COMMUNITY AND EVEN AROUND THE STATE.
UH, ONE OF THEM WAS A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER FROM THE OSBI AND THE OTHER ONE IS THE AMAZING MAYOR DAVIS OH, WE WERE SO GLAD TO HAVE THESE PEOPLE COME OUT AND TALK TO US, UH, ABOUT THE THINGS THAT THEY DO AND THE THINGS THAT, UM, MAKE THEM, YOU KNOW, WHO THEY ARE AND WHY THEY DID AND CHOSE THEIR JOB, UM, REALLY APPRECIATED, UH, THEM FOR COMING OUT HERE.
HI, MY NAME'S JALINA WELLS HEIMER AND I'M SO GLAD YOU GUYS HAVE HAD ME HERE TODAY.
UH, I THINK WE I'M REALLY GLAD AND I'M HOPE I CAN DO THIS IN THE FUTURE.
AND HERE'S SOME REASONS WHY, SO EVERY MORNING WE WOULD HAVE GROUP AND THEN GROUP, HE HAD TO PICK A WORD.
SO WHEN I WENT HOME, I WOULD HAVE TO WORK ON MY WORD.
LIKE IF MY PARENTS TOLD ME TO DO MY CHOICE, I WOULD GIVE THEM A GOOD ATTITUDE ABOUT IT.
MY TWO FAVORITE THINGS WERE, UH, WHEN WE, WE
[00:10:01]
WOULD HAVE DAILY ACTIVITIES AND MY TWO FAVORITE ONES WERE TRUST WALKS AND HANDSHAKES, AND THE TRUST WALK.I REALLY LIKED IT BECAUSE WE HAD TWO PEOPLE.
ONE WAS BLINDFOLDED AND ONE WAS GUIDING THEM THROUGH.
I REALLY THINK THIS WAS GOOD FOR US BECAUSE ONE, IT WAS GOOD FOR TRUST, WHICH YOU NEED IN THE FUTURE.
AND FOR TWO, IT WAS GOOD FOR GUIDING.
AND FOR OUR HOMEWORK, WE HAD AN ON THE WEEKEND, WE HAD HOMEWORK AND OUR HOMEWORK WAS OUR, WE HAD TO WRITE DOWN OUR BIGGEST MISTAKE BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO OWN UP TO YOUR MISTAKES AND, UH, SOMETHING WE DID FOR OUR WORD AND OUR PARENTS HAD TO SIGN THAT.
SO, AND I REALLY LIKED MEETING COOL PEOPLE LIKE MAYOR DAVIS AND MRS. GREEN, THE HEAD OF OSBI.
MY NAME IS QUINN WILLIAMS. I AM NINE YEARS OLD AND GOING TO THE FIFTH GRADE AT JOHN ROSS ELEMENTARY, I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT LEADERSHIP.
THE ADMIN LEADERSHIP INITIATIVE, THE ACRONYM, WEED JOURNAL AND GRADUATION.
NIMA LEAD STANDS FOR LEADERSHIP, EMPATHY, ATTITUDE, AND DETERMINATION.
SOMEONE WITH LEADERSHIP MEANS THEY HAVE MEANS.
THEY THINK ABOUT THEIR ACTIONS AND WHAT, HOW IT AFFECTS PEOPLE.
SOMEONE WITH EMPATHY, THEY PUT THEIR SELF INTO SOMEONE'S SHOES BEFORE THEY JUDGE SOMEONE, SOMEONE WITH A GOOD ATTITUDE HAS GREAT BODY POSTURE, A GROWING MIND, AND THEY'RE HAPPY SOMEONE WITH DETERMINATION.
THEY WORK HARD, EVEN WHEN THEY'RE TIRED.
THAT'S MOST ABOUT THE ACRONYM LEAD COACH KIRK AND COACH BROOKE STARTED GREAT LEADERS BECAUSE THEY HELPED US GROW.
I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT JOURNAL REAL QUICK.
JOURNAL HELPED US REMEMBER WHAT WE WROTE ABOUT LIKE WHAT, SAY OUR FAVORITE PART OF THE DAY AND WHAT WE LEARNED.
I'M ARIELLE LEADERSHIP CAMP WAS AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE.
IT WAS THE BEST TWO WEEKS OF MY SUMMER, AND IT HELPED ME GROW AS A PERSON AND WORK ON MY LEADERSHIP SKILLS.
THE LEMONADE STAND HELPED ME WORK ON MY BUSINESS SKILLS.
WE HELPED OUR COMMUNITY BY RAISING MONEY FOR THE EDMOND ANIMAL SHELTER.
WE ALSO MADE OUR TELEVISION D W BY MAKING IT ON OUR EVENING NEWS TO SPREAD AWARENESS ABOUT THE GREAT IMPACT THIS CAMP HAS ON OUR COMMUNITY AND THE KIDS I'M BACK.
SO FOR CAMP APPAREL, WE HAD TO WORK REALLY HARD FOR IT THE FIRST TWO DAYS.
AND AFTER WE GOT OUR CAMP APPAREL, I FELT REALLY GOOD AND PROUD, AND WE GOT OUR CAMP APPAREL.
WHEN THE COACHES SAID WE WORKED IT IN THE CAMP, WE WORKED HARD ENOUGH AND THE CAMP APPAREL LOOKS LIKE THIS.
UH, SO I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT THOUGHTFULNESS, UH, DON.
WELL, I HAD A REALLY FUN TIME.
AND THEY IN COACH BOOKS AND COACH KIRK WOULD LIKE JUDGE KIRK WOULD LIKE TELL US WHEN TO START.
AND SOMETIMES HE JOINED US AND COACH BROOKS WOULD BE ON A TEAMS TEAM.

CHRISTIE, MADISON AND NORTH CARE ARE GOING TO GIVE US A LITTLE PRESENTATION.I'M THE HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT MANAGER FOR THE CITY OF EDMOND.
UM, I'M HERE AT EXACTLY WHAT IT SAYS.
IT'S A COLLABORATION AND PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE CITY OF EDMOND EDMOND POLICE DEPARTMENT.
CHIEF YOUNGER IS HERE AS WELL, AS WELL AS SEVERAL MEMBERS FROM NORTH CARE.
UM, JUST TO GIVE YOU A QUICK BACKGROUND, UM, AS YOU SAW EARLIER IN YOUR WORKSHOP, WE, UM, SET ASIDE FUNDING FOR HEALTHY MINDS FOR A, A MENTAL HEALTH ASSESSMENT FOR THE CITY OF EDMOND THAT HAS BEEN COMPLETED.
I DO ALSO HAVE REPRESENTATIVES FROM HEALTHY MINDS HERE AS WELL.
UM, I UNDERSTAND IN A FEW WEEKS, WILL WE BE PRESENTING THAT TO YOU? UM, DURING THE, UM, ASSESSMENT, IT WAS FOUND THAT THERE WERE SOME NEEDS THAT WERE HERE IN EDMOND NORTH CARE THAT ALREADY HAS A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT MOVED FORWARD, UM, WITH A FACILITY IN PURCHASE THE FACILITY AT 15TH AND KELLY FOR A, UM, PEDIATRIC URGENT CARE, UM, MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES.
UM, SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE THIS EVENING.
UM, I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND INTRODUCE RANDY TATE.
UM, HE IS THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER FOR NORTH CARE, AND
[00:20:01]
HE'S GOING TO BE PRESENTING OF WHY NORTH KOREA IS SUCH A GREAT PARTNER WITH THE CITY OF EDMOND AT ALL.ACTUALLY, I'M CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, AND SO A MAYOR COUNCIL, A CITY MANAGER, POLICE, CHIEF CITY STAFF.
AND, AND I'M SORRY THAT WE'RE FOLLOWING THE YOUNG CUTE CHILDREN, BUT I DID LEARN SOME THINGS WATCHING THEIR PRESENTATION ON LEADERSHIP, UH, EMPATHY AND DEDICATION.
SO I, I HOPE TO TAKE THAT TO THE PROJECT.
SO, UH, THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT, THIS IS, I THINK THE HEALTHY MIND SLIDE AND, UH, THIS WAY, WHICH WAY DOES IT GO RIGHT HERE? MAYBE I CAN.
SO WE'VE TRIED TO DUPLICATE THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF HEALTHY MINDS.
I WILL SAY THAT, UH, THERE IS MORE PLAY IN FOR THIS SITE THAN JUST A, UM, A PEDIATRIC URGENT CARE ACTUALLY.
SO THAT WOULD, UH, WE'RE REALLY GOING TO DO ALL AGES.
THERE WILL BE A SEPARATE AND DISTINCT ADULT, UH, URGENT CARE, UH, FROM THE YOUTH AND FAMILY URGENT CARE THAT WE'RE PLANNING.
WE ALSO WILL HAVE, UH, ALL A FULL SERVICE, UH, OUTPATIENT SERVICES AND CRISIS SERVICES.
AND THIS WILL ALSO CONNECT TO THE 9, 8, 8 MOBILE RESPONSES, UH, AND, UH, OTHER SERVICES THAT WE'RE PROVIDING, THERE'LL BE A MEDICATION CLINIC THAT WILL, WILL BE DONE.
AND WE'LL ALSO CONNECT VIRTUAL SERVICES, INCLUDING INTEGRATION WITH PRIMARY CARE AND OUR PARTNER VARIETY OF CARE.
THIS IS A PHOTO OF OUR, UH, OKLAHOMA CITY LOCATION THAT WE BUILT IN 2016 AND MOVED INTO.
THEN, UH, WE ARE CONTRACTED WITH THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA TO SERVE, UH, CITIZENS OF EDMOND ALL THE WAY UP TO GUTHRIE AND A BIG PORTION OF OKLAHOMA CITY.
WE ARE A CERTIFIED COMMUNITY BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CLINIC.
THIS IS A NEW TERM IN FEDERAL LAW.
UH, THAT CAME INTO EFFECT WITH THE MENTAL HEALTH EXCELLENCE ACT OF 2014.
UH, SO WE WERE THE ONE OF THE FIRST, UH, CERTIFIED COMMUNITY BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CLINICS IN THE NATION.
WE WENT LIVE APRIL 1ST, 2016 WITH TWO OTHER ORGANIZATIONS IN THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA AND A, UH, A GROUP FROM OREGON THAT WENT FIRST.
UM, THERE WERE EIGHT TOTAL STATES THAT MOVED THIS PILOT DEMONSTRATION, UH, FORWARD THAT FIRST YEAR.
AND THAT'S NOW BEEN EXPANDED AND THE PILOT'S BEEN EXTENDED TWICE SO FAR AND LOOKS TO BECOME A PERMANENT, UH, WAY OF OPERATION IN THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA.
THE MENTAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT CREATED A STATE PLAN AMENDMENT.
SO NOW ALL OF THE OTHER CENTERS THAT WERE NOT CCBHC SAID INITIALLY HAVE NOW MOVED TOWARDS THAT CERTIFICATION.
WE'VE BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR 40 YEARS AND I'VE BEEN THERE 33, I'VE GOT A COUPLE OF STAFF WITH ME, GOT A KARCHER SHE'S OUR VICE PRESIDENT OF CLINICAL SERVICES.
UM, A CRISIS EMILY CARMICHAEL IS WITH US SHE'S IN-HOUSE COUNSEL AND COMPLIANCE.
AND LARRY BACK IN, UH, BACK NEWMAN IS OUR OWNER'S REP THAT WILL BE ABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AROUND NUMBERS OR, UM, CONSTRUCTION ISSUES AND ET CETERA.
UH, THIS WOULD BE OUR SERVICE AREA, UM, SHOWING YOU, UH, ALSO SOME BOUNDARY, UH, ORGANIZATIONS THAT TAKE CARE OF STUFF OUTSIDE OF OUR AREA.
UH, WE ACTUALLY PURCHASED WITH CASH, THE INITIAL PROPERTY.
IT WAS ONE OF THE FEW THINGS THAT WE COULD FIND IN ADMIN AT THE TIME, BUT WE THINK IT'S A GREAT LOCATION.
WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS PROPERTY.
WE FELT LIKE THE SQUARE FOOTAGE WAS RIGHT, BUT THE INTERIOR HAS BEEN ALMOST, WE'LL BE COMPLETELY GOT IT.
AND I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE BEEN TO VISIT IT, BUT THE INTERIOR AND ALMOST EVERYTHING ELSE HAS BEEN, WILL BE GUTTED AND COMPLETELY REDONE TO MAKE IT WORK FOR THIS SPECIFICATION.
UM, SO LIKE I SAID, THERE WILL BE A 24 7 365 DAY A YEAR, URGENT CARE FOR BOTH CHILDREN AND ADULTS, OUTPATIENT, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CLINIC, AND COMMUNITY BASED SERVICES, UH, INCLUDING, UH, OPPORTUNITIES FOR SCHOOL OUTREACH AND ET CETERA.
I WON'T READ YOU THE WHOLE LAUNDRY LIST OF SERVICES, BUT EVERYTHING FROM ASSESSMENT CRISIS, INTERVENTION, REFERRAL, PSYCHIATRIC TREATMENT
[00:25:01]
MEDICATIONS, UM, ANYONE WHO DOESN'T HAVE, UH, INSURANCE OR MEDICAID, WE WILL, UH, WE USE OUR OWN PHARMACY TO MAKE SURE THEY HAVE THE MEDICATIONS.UH, THEY NEED INTEGRATION WITH PRIMARY CARE, UH, SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND ADDICTION SERVICES, UH, AND FOLLOW UP, UH, AND, UH, INTEGRATE, UH, AND, UH, REFERRAL TO HOSPITALS AND SO FORTH WHEN THAT IS NEEDED.
THEY NOTION IS THAT WE WILL BE, UH, A RESOURCE, UH, TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, OUR LATE, UH, OTHER FIRST RESPONDER.
SO THAT PLACE TIME IS REDUCED.
THEY CAN DROP SOMEBODY OFF, LET US TAKE CARE OF THEM, AND THEY CAN GO BACK TO THE STREET IS, UH, ONE OF THE PRIMARY FUNCTIONS OF THIS PLUS GETTING PEOPLE INTO RECOVERY AND, AND HAVING MORE PRODUCTIVE LIVES.
SO AGAIN, THIS IS, UH, JUST KIND OF A CHART OF OUR CONTINUUM, CRA PERSON IN CRISIS CRISIS LINE, A MOBILE CRISIS TEAMS WILL BE AVAILABLE.
WE'VE ACTUALLY ARE THE RESPONDER FOR 9, 8, 8 THAT WENT LIKE JULY 15TH.
UM, AND INDIVIDUALS CAN JUST SELF, UM, UH, REFER AND SHOW UP AT THE URGENT CARES AND OUR FACILITIES WHEN, UH, THIS ONE'S BUILT OR IN OKLAHOMA CITY NOW.
AND POST-CRISIS WRAPAROUND SERVICES.
UM, LIKE I SAID, WE WANT TO BE QUICK ACCESS FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT.
SO THEY'RE IN AND OUT NOT HAVING TO TAKE UP THEIR TIME, UH, WHEN THEY DO BECOME IN CONTACT WITH SOMEBODY WITH A MENTAL HEALTH ADDICTION ISSUE THAT NEEDS MORE CARE THAN A, THAT CAN BE SUSTAINED IN THE COMMUNITY.
UH, THIS IS, UH, UH, KIND OF A DRILL DOWN ON THE 23 HOUR URGENT CARE.
UH, LIKE I SAID, THERE'S BOTH ADULT AND CHILD THEY'RE SEPARATE.
UM, THERE THERE'LL BE IN SEPARATE SPACES WITH SEPARATE, UH, WITH MOSTLY SEPARATE STAFF, 24 7 WITH PEERS, UH, PEERS HAVE LIVED EXPERIENCES, NURSES, TECHS, CASE MANAGERS, THERAPISTS, UH, AND UNIT COORDINATORS.
UM, UH, THERE'LL BE CONNECTED WITH SERVICES THAT THEY NEED WHILE ON THE SPOT.
AND, UH, DISCHARGE PLANNING, LET'S SAY.
SO JUST TO GIVE YOU A BRIEF UPDATE ON WHERE THE PROJECT IS NOW, BACK IN FEBRUARY, YOU ALL DID APPROVE FOR CARES FUNDING UP TO $450,000.
UM, CARES HAS SOME VERY STIPULATIONS THAT I HAVE TO ABIDE BY OUR, WE HAVE TO ABIDE BY.
SO THE 450,000, UM, A HUNDRED, 450,000 IS ONLY GOING TO COVER THE HVAC SYSTEM AND POTENTIALLY SOME ADA ACCESSIBILITY.
UM, AS YOU CAN SEE, THEY'VE SELECTED ADG AS THEY'RE DESIGNED FROM, THEY ARE ALSO WORKING IN, IN A COMBINATION OF THIS FACILITY.
THEY'RE ALSO DOING ONE UP IN LOGAN COUNTY.
UM, TIMBERLAKE HAS BEEN SELECTED AS THEIR GENERAL CONTRACTOR OF THE GENERAL MANAGER OR THE CONTRACTOR CONTRACT MANAGER AT RISK.
UM, AND THEY'RE CURRENTLY WORKING ON THE TRADE PACKAGES TO GO OUT.
THAT SHOULD BE ABOUT IN THE NEXT SIX TO EIGHT WEEKS.
UM, THE PROJECT HAS COME BACK INITIALLY.
THEY THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO COME AROUND 980,000 AS WE'VE ALL.
AND YOU ALL CONTINUE HEARING EVERY TWO WEEKS, UM, COSTS ARE HIGHER.
AND SO IT'S COME BACK AT AROUND $1.5 MILLION.
UM, THIS ARPA FUNDING REQUESTS WOULD HELP THEM COMPLETE THE PROJECT AS DESIGNED.
UM, THEY DID RECEIVE APPROXIMATELY $133,000 THAT WILL GO TOUR TOWARDS IT, AS WELL AS YOU ASKED EARLIER, THIS DOES NOT GO TOWARDS STAFFING FURNITURE, FURNISHINGS, OR COMPUTERS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
THIS IS JUST THE GENERAL LAYOUT OF THE BUILDING TO CONSTRUCT BOTH AREAS FOR PEDIATRIC AND ADULT.
DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING CHIEF YOU WANTED TO? OKAY.
SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE REQUESTING UP TO A MILLION DOLLARS IN ARPA FUNDING.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT.
SO WHO TECHNICALLY OWNS THIS BUILDING? NICE CARE.
AND AGAIN, THEY, THEY DO SERVE, I KNOW RANDY TOUCHED ON IT.
THEY DO SERVE, UM, THOSE THAT ARE LOW INSURED OR NO INSURANCE OR ON SOONER CARE.
UM, OBVIOUSLY THEY WON'T TURN ANYBODY AWAY, BUT THAT'S THE, THE, UM, CLIENTELE THAT THEY, UM, WRAP AROUND.
AND I KNOW IN THE HEALTHY MINDS, WHEN THEY DO THEIR ASSESSMENT, THEY'LL TALK ABOUT THE NUMBER OF UNINSURED WE HAVE HERE AT THE CITY.
I WANT TO COMMEND YOU ON, ON IMPROVING THIS RELATIONSHIP.
AND BEGINNING TO, TO BEGIN WITH I, THE, WHEN WE FIRST STARTED WORKING WITH NORTH CARE, I STARTED LEARNING MORE AND TALKING ABOUT IT IN THE COMMUNITY.
AND EVERY TIME I WOULD TALK TO SOMEBODY, THEY WOULD GO, OH YEAH, NORTH CARE.
AND, AND THE REPUTATION WAS WONDERFUL.
[00:30:01]
TIME IT WAS SOMEBODY ELSE AND IT WAS AN EVEN BETTER REPUTATION AND BETTER REPUTATION.AND SO I'M FINDING THAT, UM, THIS IS A VERY SOLID GROUP THAT WE'RE WORKING WITH AND OBVIOUSLY 40 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE, UH, THEY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING.
AND, AND I'M THANKFUL THAT, THAT WE GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH YOU, UH, AND THAT YOU'RE WILLING TO BE HERE IN OUR COMMUNITY.
SO KUDOS ON, ON THAT RELATIONSHIP, I JUST FOLLOWED THE CHIEF, CHIEF.
I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR GETTING AHEAD OF THIS AND, AND HELPING TO GET AHEAD OF THIS PROBLEM.
I MEAN, I FEEL LIKE, I THINK, I FEEL LIKE WE'RE UP DOING THIS WORK UP FRONT AND IT'S GOING TO BE PAY US DIVIDENDS ON THE BACK END.
AND I'M SO THANKFUL THAT YOU ALL ARE, ARE DOING THAT.
AND I'M THANKFUL WE HAVE THE RESOURCES TO DO THIS AND ADDITIONAL WITH THE CARES FUNDING.
I THINK I CAN, I CAN SAY WITH NORTH CARE, THERE'S ALSO A PARTNERSHIP WITH EDMOND PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND WORKING WITH THE SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS.
SO THERE WILL BE A CASE MANAGER WITH EVERY SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER IN EACH LATERAL OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM STARTING THIS FALL.
SO THAT'S JUST ANOTHER PARTNERSHIP.
SO IT IS A TOTAL COLLABORATION IN THE CITY RIGHT NOW.
IT WAS CRITICAL THAT IT WAS, WAS JUST NOT THE CITY OF ADMIN, BUT IT WAS A TOTAL COLLABORATION, SEVERAL OF OUR KEY PLAYERS OF THE CITY.
WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER WAS LIKE THE, SKY'S THE LIMIT ON THIS.
THE OTHER PURCHASE OF I'M JUST GOING TO GO THROUGH ALL THE PURCHASES AND THEN WE CAN VOTE ON ALL AT ONE TIME.
AND THIS, SOMEONE WANTS ME TO PULL ONE, THE NEXT PURCHASE
[3. Approval of Change Order No.1 to the construction contract with Crossland Heavy Contractors for the 2nd Street and Bryant Intersection Improvements Project; $122,764.06 Increase.]

OF A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH G H TWO ARCHITECTS TO PROVIDE DESIGN SERVICES FOR A SPLASH PAD AT TED ANDERSON PARK FOR $73,000.THIS STAFF WANT TO DO A, OH, THERE HE IS.
BRIAN OCHSNER, DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY QUALITY, THE CITY.
OKAY, HERE, TALK TO YOU ABOUT A CONTRACT TO DESIGN A SPLASH PAD IN 2016, ADMIN RESIDENTS VOTED TO EXTEND A HALF CENT SALES TAX AROUND THAT SAME TIME A CITY COUNCIL APPOINTED A TASK FORCE OF CITIZENS TO GIVE SOME INPUT ON PROJECTS FOR THAT.
AND THIS WAS ONE OF THE PROJECTS THAT WAS IDENTIFIED AND SUGGESTED SINCE THAT TIME.
UM, OUR STAFF HAS BEEN LOOKING AT GREAT LOCATIONS ACROSS OUR PARK SYSTEMS FOR A POTENTIAL SECOND SPLASH PAD LOCATION.
AND WE LANDED ON SUGGESTING TED ANDERSON PARK.
UM, WELL BACK UP THERE TO, OR SOME PARK IS, UM, TO ORIENT EVERYBODY HERE'S SOUTH BOULEVARD, HERE'S RANKIN, UH, ORVIS REISNER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
AND, UH, SO WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS AREA, JUST NORTH HERE AT TED ANDERSON PARK.
AND THE AGREEMENT BEFORE YOU IS TO, UH, DESIGN A SPLASH PAD.
THAT WILL BE ABOUT, ABOUT TWO THIRDS, THE SIZE OF OUR SPLASH PAD THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE OVER NEAR KELLY AND BARNETT FIELD.
UH, SO LOOK, BE A LITTLE SMALLER SCALE TO FIT THIS SPACE.
UM, PART OF THE PROJECT THAT THEY'LL WALK US THROUGH IS DETERMINING THAT THE NEEDS AND DESIRES FOR RESTROOM FACILITIES, UM, FOR WATER REUSE ON THE SITE TO DETERMINE IF IT'S FEASIBLE TO IRRIGATE THIS, UM, PLAYFIELD IS KIND OF, WE'RE HERE TO KIND OF ELEVATE THE SURFACE OF THAT, UH, TO INCREASE THE USE OF THAT.
SO WE PROJECTED CONSTRUCTION BUDGET OF $400,000, BUT THERE'S A LOT TO BE DETERMINED IN BETWEEN NOW AND THEN.
UM, BUT THAT'S HOW WE CURRENTLY SEE IT WITH THAT.
ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS I'M JUST GLAD TO SEE ANOTHER SPLASH PAD GOING TO DESIGN.
AND IF THINGS GO WELL, WE'LL HOPE TO HAVE IT IN USE NEXT SEASON FINGERS CROSSED.
I'M GOING TO CALL HIM, CALL ME TO SPLASH PAD, MAN.
NEXT, THE, UH, THE EFFORTS TOWARDS CONSERVATION, I THINK SHOULD BE NOTED TOO, IN WATER CONSERVATION, THIS'LL BE AN EVEN MORE EFFICIENT SPLASH PAD THAN, THAN THE ONES WE CURRENTLY HAVE.
SO USING TECHNOLOGY TO BE CONSCIOUS OF THAT IS APPRECIATED.
THAT'S AN IMPORTANT THING TO BALANCE.
USE THAT WATER FOR THOSE RECREATIONAL PURPOSES.
[6. Approval of Utility Relocation Agreement with OG&E for the Danforth and Kelly Intersection Improvement Project. $776,787 (estimate; money to be encumbered after work is completed in FY 24).]

SO THIS PROJECT IS TO ADD DUAL LEFT TURN LANES IN ALL DIRECTIONS AND RIGHT TURN LANES WHERE WE CAN, UH, IT ALSO WILL INCREASE, WE'LL HAVE MEDIUMS THROUGH THE AREA SO THAT CARS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PULL OUT IN OF OTHER CARS, BUT THEY WILL BE ABLE TO GO TO THE INTERSECTION AND MAKE PROTECTED TURNS TO GO BACK THE OTHER DIRECTION, MUCH SAFER MOVEMENT AT A GREEN ARROW, INSTEAD OF TRYING TO CROSS 2, 3, 4, OR FIVE LANES OF TRAFFIC.
SO WE ANTICIPATE OUR ACCIDENTS TO GO DOWN.
ONCE THIS IS COMPLETE, THE CONSTRUCTION IS FUNDED IN 2025, BUT UNTIL THAT TIME WE'VE ALREADY ACQUIRED ALL THE RIGHT OF WAY THAT'S NEEDED.
THIS IS ACTUALLY AN AGREEMENT WITH
THEY HAVE 100 FOOT TALL POWER POLES OUT THERE ON THE NORTH SIDE OF DANFORTH, AND THIS IS THE, TO GET THEM STARTED, TO GET THEM RELOCATED.
THOSE POLES HAVE A 10 TO 12 MONTH LEAD TIME TO GET THEM HERE.
SO OUR UTILITY RELOCATIONS ARE IN 23, 24.
SO THIS IS PERFECT TIMING FOR THEM TO GO AHEAD AND GET THEM ORDERED, GET THEM HERE.
THEN THEY CAN START THE CONSTRUCTION OF THEIR POLES.
WE'VE ALREADY BEEN DOING SOME WATERLINE CONSTRUCTION THROUGH THE INTERSECTION ONCE AND GETS THEIR POWER POLES OUT THERE.
THEN WE CAN START MOVING A AT AND T COX CABLE ONG EVERYBODY ELSE THAT NEEDS TO BE MOVED.
AND THEN HOPEFULLY GET THIS UNDER CONSTRUCTION IN 2025.
SO AGAIN, THIS IS AN ESTIMATE, WE'LL KNOW, MORE ONCE THE POLLS COME IN, ONCE THE WIRE GETS HUNG ON THE POLLS, BUT THEY'RE PRETTY CLOSE WHEN WE GET HERE.
BUT, UH, AGAIN, THIS IS TO GET THEM STARTED SO THAT WE CAN ORDER THEM AND HOPEFULLY GET THEM HERE IN A TIMELY FASHION.
SO WHO DOES AND SERVE IN THIS AREA.
SO I'D HAVE TO DEFER TO GLENN ON THAT, BUT THEY HAVE SEVERAL CUSTOMERS IN THE AREA THAT HAVE BEEN THERE A LONG, LONG TIME.
AND THEY'RE IN KIND OF A PRIVATE EASEMENT.
THEY WERE HERE LONG BEFORE WE WERE OUT THERE.
[7. Approval of Change Order #7 for KickingBird Golf Clubhouse Project; $118,466.87.]

THEN WE HAVE DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION OF SUPPORTING EDMUND PSYCHO 66 TO THE CITY COUNCIL CONTINGENCY FUND FOR $10,000.UH, WE HAVE VISIT EDMOND GENDER HI.
YES, I'M JENNIFER SETON, THE TOURISM DIRECTOR FOR EDMOND.
AND I GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT TWO SPORTING EVENTS THAT ARE COMING TO EDMUND AND REQUESTING SOME FUNDING.
THE FIRST ONE IS A CYCLING RIDE AND THE SECOND ONE IS A, UM, A TENNIS EVENT.
SO I'D LIKE TO TALK TO YOU FIRST ABOUT EDMONDS CYCLE 66.
THIS IS OUR SECOND ANNUAL EVENT.
UM, AND THE FIRST ONE WAS LAST YEAR AND IT BROUGHT 550 CYCLISTS FROM ACROSS THE NATION TO EDMOND.
AND WE ARE EXPECTING 800 THIS YEAR.
SO THIS WAS A PICTURE OF THE RIDE.
AND, UM, A SPECIAL THING ABOUT ROUTE 66 IS THE BIRTHDAY OF ROUTE 66 IS NOVEMBER 11TH.
SO THIS RIDE WILL ALWAYS BE HELD IN NOVEMBER TO COMMEMORATE THAT.
AND IN 2026, UH, THAT WILL BE THE CENTENNIAL OF ROUTE 66.
SO THIS EVENT IS RAMPING UP TO BE FEATURED AS ONE OF THE CENTENNIAL EVENTS.
SO, UM, AGAIN, BRINGING VISITORS FROM ACROSS THE NATION, IT'S A HEALTHY SPORT.
YOU DID SUPPORT THIS EVENT LAST YEAR WITH 10,000.
SO WE'RE ASKING FOR THE SAME AMOUNT OF FUNDING.
UM, I WANTED TO TELL YOU JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE MISSION AND THAT WE DO SUPPORT TWO CHARITIES, THE AUTUMN LIFE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CENTER, AS WELL AS THE OKLAHOMA ROUTE 66 ASSOCIATION.
SO IT'S A FAMILY FRIENDLY FESTIVAL AND I DO HAVE MIKE OSBOURNE HERE.
WHO'S THE FOUNDER OF CYCLE 66.
I WANTED HIM TO COME ON UP TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AND PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
UM, THE REASON WE SAY IT'S REALLY FOR EVERYONE IS BECAUSE IT INCLUDES A ONE MILE, UM, RACE FOR CHILDREN, UH, 10 AND A 33 AND A 66 RACE, DEPENDING ON YOUR SKILL AND YOUR LEVEL.
[00:40:01]
TIME, WE'RE INTRODUCING A CRIT, WHICH IS A FAST PACED, UM, CYCLING FOR SERIOUS CYCLISTS THAT WILL BE HAPPENING FROM 10 TO 4:00 PM.SO ON NOVEMBER 6TH ON SUNDAY, YOU WILL SEE, YOU KNOW, THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE IN DOWNTOWN EDMOND TO SUPPORT CYCLING.
IT'S GOING TO BE BACK AGAIN, UH, NEARLY A YEAR LATER, ALMOST A YEAR LATER.
UM, AND, UH, WE'RE, I MEAN, WE'RE JUST SUPER EXCITED ABOUT, UH, ABOUT THIS, ABOUT THIS EVENT GOING FORWARD.
ONE THING ACTUALLY THAT I DID WANT TO DO IS, UM, AND I LEARNED THIS FROM THE KIDS THAT WERE IN HERE.
SO I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO THE AMAZING MAYOR DAVIS, UM, AS WE'RE, AS WE'RE CONTEMPLATING, UH, FUNDING, HELPING FUND THIS.
UM, SO LAST TIME I WAS HERE, UM, WE TALKED ABOUT WANTING THIS TO BECOME A DESTINATION EVENT.
THAT'S PART OF OUR VISION IS THAT WE WANT THIS TO BECOME SOMETHING THAT, UM, PEOPLE LOOK AT EDMOND, UM, AS HOSTING.
UM, SO, AND I FEEL LIKE WE'RE WELL ON OUR WAY TO THAT, WE WERE EXPECTING SOMEWHERE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF 250 200 TO 250 RIDERS.
LAST YEAR, WE ENDED UP WITH 550, UM, AND, UH, UH, YOU KNOW, MOST OF THE FEEDBACK, UH, FROM LAST YEAR WAS, UH, WAS REALLY GOOD.
UM, UH, FROM THE RIDERS, UH, THEY FELT WELL-SUPPORTED, UH, THEY FELT SAFE AS THEY WERE RIDING, UH, RIDING THIS AND IT, THAT IS ALL DUE TO THE, UM, TO THE INVOLVEMENT OF THE COMMUNITY, UM, THAT, THAT WE HAVE HAD, UH, WITH THIS EVENT, UM, UH, YOU KNOW, FROM, FROM THE POLICE, UH, PRESENCE AT, UH, YOU KNOW, ALL THROUGHOUT THE EVENT TO, UM, TO LOCAL CYCLISTS, TO, UH, COMMUNITY LEADERS, SUCH AS YOURSELVES, UH, BEING, UH, INVOLVED IN, IN PUTTING THIS TOGETHER, UM, UH, IT'S WE FEEL LIKE WE FEEL SOME GOOD MOMENTUM AND THAT WE'RE MOVING TOWARD THIS BECOMING, UM, EDMOND'S, UM, YOU KNOW, TULSA TOUGH, UM, WHICH, YOU KNOW, STARTED OUT VERY SMALL, BUT LAST YEAR HAD 10,000 RIDERS AT EACH OF ITS THREE DAYS OF EVENTS.
UM, WE WANT THIS TO BE EDMUNDS HOTTER THAN HELL HUNDRED, UM, WHICH, UH, YOU KNOW, STARTED OUT AGAIN VERY SMALL IN WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS.
UM, BUT NOW, UM, HAS, UH, YOU KNOW, 14,000 RIDERS.
UM, AND WITH THOSE RIDERS, BY THE WAY, COME, YOU KNOW, 3, 4, 5 OTHER PEOPLE WITH THEM, UH, TO ENJOY, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE COMMUNITY AS WELL.
WE WANT THIS TO BE, UH, YOU KNOW, EDMUNDS MEMORIAL MARATHON, WHICH STARTED OUT AGAIN, UH, SMALL, BUT HAS, UH, HAS GROWN INTO THE TWO 25,000 RUNNERS AND, YOU KNOW, A HUNDRED THOUSAND OR MORE PEOPLE, UH, IN, IN DOWNTOWN OKLAHOMA CITY, UH, ON THE DAY OF THE EVENT.
SO, UM, WE'RE HONORED BY YOUR, UH, CONSIDERATION.
WE'RE HONORED BY YOUR SUPPORT FROM LAST YEAR AND, UH, AND LOOK FORWARD TO PARTNERING WITH YOU AGAIN THIS YEAR.
AND THE NEW PART, THE ADD ON WITH THE CRIT IS A DIFFERENT DYNAMIC.
IT'S, IT'S, THAT'S A DIFFERENT TYPE OF RIDER, BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT, UH, I KNOW PERSONALLY, THERE ARE SEVERAL CRIT WRITERS THAT LIVE IN EDMOND THAT GO TO WHEELER DISTRICT OR GO TO TULSA TO RIDE.
SO NOW WE'RE GOING TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM TO STAY HOME THAT WEEKEND AND ACTUALLY RIDE AND RACE IN THEIR OWN TOWN.
UM, JUST REAL QUICKLY ON THAT, UM, FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO, WHO DON'T KNOW, AND I DIDN'T UNTIL I STARTED WITH THIS, BUT, UM, A CRIT IS THE CRIT IS ACTUALLY SHORT FOR CRITERIUM.
UH, WE LITERALLY JUST FOUND OUT LAST WEEK THAT THERE'S ANOTHER WORD FOR IT, CYCLOCROSS, UM, UH, WHICH IS MAYBE EVEN MORE, UM, DESCRIPTIVE OF, OF WHAT'S GOING ON, BUT THIS IS BASICALLY A SHORT COURSE SPRINT, UM, RACE, UH, AND, AND THESE, THESE PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, WE'LL, UM, WE'LL BE, YOU KNOW, GOING AROUND A COURSE, BASICALLY AROUND DOWNTOWN EDMOND, UM, REALLY FAST AND, UM, YOU KNOW, IN HOPES OF, OF, OF WINNING, UH, THEIR HEAT AND THEIR, UM, THEIR AGE GROUP.
SO, UM, UH, IT BRINGS AN EXCITEMENT TO, UH, THE DOWNTOWN AREA, YOU KNOW, DURING THAT TIME IT WILL, IT BRINGS SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE WILL WANT TO STICK AROUND FOR AND WATCH.
UM, UH, AND WE'RE HOPING THAT, THAT SPILLS OVER INTO THE CELEBRATION 66, WHICH IS OUR, YOU KNOW, UH, FINISH LINE CELEBRATION PARTY THAT, THAT WE HAVE,
[00:45:01]
UM, THAT WE HAVE PUT TOGETHER LAST YEAR, SUPER FUN.UH, LOTS OF, UH, WE WERE THRILLED WITH THE, WITH THE WEATHER, UM, ENJOYED ALL OF THAT, UH, AND, UH, WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO ANOTHER GREAT YEAR THIS YEAR.
I'M GOING TO GET A QUICK QUESTION.
I THANK YOU, MIKE AND JENNIFER FOR DOING THIS.
IT'S A GREAT EVENT AND I'M, I WILL SUPPORT IT.
UM, HOWEVER, I WILL, UH, PROBABLY BE BACK AGAIN, UH, TO ASK FOR SOME SUPPORT FOR A RODEO AS WELL WITH OUR CONTINGENCY FUND, UM, JUST A HEADS UP, UH, WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THIS CONTINGENCY FUND THAT THE COUNCIL HAS, THERE IS SOME MONEY SLOTTED, SLOTTED THAT IS, AS I UNDERSTAND IT, FOR THINGS THAT COME UP THAT DON'T HAVE PROPER FUNDING, THAT WE CAN HELP WITH, THAT WE FEEL MOTIVATED AS A, AS A COUNCIL TO DO.
UM, AND THIS WOULD FIT IN THAT CATEGORY.
THE QUESTION IS, HOW LONG DO WE CONTINUE TO DO THOSE THINGS? THE WAY I SEE IT IS IT'S A 1, 2, 3 YEAR THING UNTIL THEY, THE EVENT CAN GET A FOOTING.
UM, AND SO, UH, ALL OF THE THINGS, UH, VIBE STARTED OUT THIS WAY, RIGHT.
UM, AND SO, BUT IT'S GOT TO EVENTUALLY COME UP WITH ITS OWN FUNDING AND, AND AS IT GETS THAT MOMENTUM, HOPEFULLY IT WILL.
BUT IF PEOPLE WONDER WHAT THIS CONTINGENCY FUNDING IS THAT THE COUNCIL HAS, THAT'S THE WAY I SEE IT, AND THE WAY I UNDERSTAND IT, AND I WOULD FULL HEARTEDLY SUPPORT THIS, UH, THIS YEAR AND PROBABLY NEXT, BUT WE DO NEED TO FIND, UH, CONTINUED FUNDING FOR ALL OF OUR EVENTS, UH, GOING FORWARD SO THAT WE CAN BRING ON OTHER NEW EVENTS WITH THIS MONEY AND CONTINUE THEM ON.
SO, ANYWAY, UH, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU ALL SEE IT ANY DIFFERENTLY THAN I DO, BUT YEAH.
AND I PROBABLY CHANCE QUICK CHANCE TO COME IN AND VISIT ADMIN BOARD AND COMMITTEE IS HAVING DISCUSSIONS ON HOW DO WE, HOW DO WE GET BETTER AT, AT, UH, SUPPORTING COMMUNITY EVENTS, WHETHER IT'S ROUTE 66 OR RODEO, OR, OR, OR A RUN OR A GOLF TOURNAMENT, UM, HOW DO WE, WE'VE BEEN PRETTY GOOD AT, AT GETTING SOME IN HOW DO WE GET BETTER AT DOING THAT AND, OR THE FUNDING THAT IT TAKES TO DO UNDERWRITE THESE EVENTS AND GET THEM TO COMMIT TO COME HERE? UM, HOW DO WE GET BETTER AT THAT? YEAH, I THINK WE NEED TO FOCUS ON IT CAUSE THEY'RE VERY IMPORTANT TO WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IN THIS COMMUNITY.
[10. Discussion and consideration of supporting the Edmond Center Court's hosting of a Men's Pro event through the City Council Contingency Fund; $20,000.00. ]
YOU HAVE ONE MORE ITEM? ARE YOU GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE CENTER COURT? SO WE GET TO SWITCH GEARS TO TENNIS AND, UM, THANK YOU, DAVID, FOR THAT EXPLANATION OF THE CONTINGENCY FUND, AND WE BELIEVE WE'RE BRINGING ANOTHER EVENT TO YOU THAT FALLS PERFECTLY INTO, UM, INTO THAT REALM.SO, UM, EDMUND CENTER COURT, FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW IS THE, UM, PARTNERSHIP AND IT'S OUR NEW TENNIS FACILITY AND IT'S IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY AND EDMOND PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND, UM, EDMUND CENTER COURT.
SO, UM, WE WERE ASKED ACTUALLY, UM, TO HOST MEN'S, UM, UNITED STATES TENNIS ASSOCIATION PRO CIRCUIT EVENT.
UM, IT IS GOING TO BE A TOURNAMENT THAT ATTRACTS PROFESSIONALS FROM ACROSS THE NATION.
SO IT MIGHT NOT BE HUGE ATTENDANCE BECAUSE IT'S, IT'S LIMITED TO THOSE THAT CAN PLAY, BUT IT IS GOING TO BE NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL ATTENTION.
SO THE AWARENESS AND LIKE THE FEATHER IN THE CAP FOR EDMOND IS, UM, YOU KNOW, THERE'S NO DOLLARS YOU CAN PUT TO THAT TYPE OF AWARENESS.
UM, IF WE ARE SUCCESSFUL THIS YEAR, UM, WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO HOST THIS ANNUAL.
SO THAT WOULD BE A NICE, ANOTHER BENEFIT TO, UM, TO YOUR SUPPORT.
LIKE I SAID, INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION ON THESE DOLLARS WERE OFFSET EXPENSES BECAUSE USUALLY, UM, EDMUND CENTER COURT IS DOING, UM, YOU KNOW, LESSONS AND DIFFERENT THINGS.
SO WE STILL WANT TO BE ABLE TO PAY OUR PROFESSIONALS, UM, KIND OF LIKE I DID WITH, WITH MIKE, OOPS, SORRY.
I'D LIKE TO CALL UP DAVID MONAGHAN WHO, UM, RUNS EDMUND CENTER COURT TO OFFER ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND ASK AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE WELCOME DAVID, GOOD EVENING, DAVID MENAHAN EDMUND CENTER COURT, AND JENNIFER DID A GREAT JOB IN EXPLAINING WHAT THE TOURNAMENT IS.
IT WILL BRING IN INTERNATIONAL PLAYERS.
UM, THESE, UH, IT'S, IT'S QUITE A TOURNAMENT.
IT'S, IT'S AN HONOR TO BE ASKED.
UM, A LOT OF, UM, YOU KNOW, FACILITIES ARE BIDDING ON THESE TOURNAMENTS AND THEY DON'T GET THE BED.
AND FOR US TO BE ASKED IT'S, IT'S DEFINITELY AN HONOR.
UM, BUT THESE WAYS, SOME OF THE BEST PLAYERS IN THE WORLD, WITHOUT QUESTION, A LOT OF THESE PLAYERS AND PROFESSIONALS ARE YOUNG PLAYERS TRYING TO MAKE IT ON TOUR.
THEY'RE TRYING TO GET THEIR RANKING POINTS TO GET HIGH ENOUGH IN THE RANK IN THE WORLD RANKINGS TO GET INTO THE U S OPENS AND THE WIMBLEDON'S, UM, OR THERE'S PLAYERS THAT HAVE BEEN INJURED IN THE RANKINGS OF DROPS.
[00:50:01]
PLAYERS ARE WORLD-CLASS, THEY'RE UNBELIEVABLE PLAYERS.SO THIS WOULD BE FANTASTIC TO BRING TO OUR EDMUND COMMUNITY.
UM, SO THEY GET TO CHANCE TO, UM, SEE OUR PHENOMENAL CON UH, COMPLEX AS WELL AS SEE SOME, SOME GREAT TENNIS.
I'D LOVE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.
MY FIRST QUESTION IS IT'S IN JANUARY.
SO THIS IS INDOORS IS ENDORSED.
I LOVE YOUR FACILITY AND THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE AND, AND COMMITTING TO US AS OUR PRO.
I LOVE IT, WHAT YOU'RE DOING OUT THERE.
IT'S HOWEVER, IT'S INTERESTING TO ME THAT THERE'S NO SEATING INDOORS AT THIS PLACE.
SO HOW ARE YOU GOING TO HANDLE THAT? I WOULD ASSUME THAT THESE PEOPLE HAVE PEOPLE TO COME WATCH THEM.
SO WE, WE, WE DO, UM, IT DOESN'T HAVE BLEACHERS AS YOU WOULD, MAYBE YOU WOULD EXPECT, BUT, UM, WE DO HAVE A MEZZANINE AREA THAT OVERLOOKS BEHIND EVERY COURT.
UM, WE'LL PROBABLY HAVE TO BRING IN ADDITIONAL SEATING FOR SURE.
UM, BECAUSE THIS IS A NEW EVENT.
WE'VE NEVER RUN THIS EVENT, SO WE DON'T HAVE ANY HISTORY.
UM, BUT WE'LL, WE, WE HAVE PLANS IN BRINGING IN SOME SEATING.
WHAT IS COOL ABOUT THAT MEZZANINE? I'LL JUST, JUST WATCHING OTHER TOURNAMENTS AS YOU CAN.
YOU CAN SEE EVERY COURT FROM THAT.
AND SO YOU CAN KIND OF, YOU CAN KIND OF WONDER BACK AND FORTH AND SEE, BUT NOT KNOWING HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE GOING TO COME.
I MEAN, IT MIGHT BE A DEAL WHERE YOU HAVE TO HAVE AN ASSIGNED SEAT IF IT COMES NEXT YEAR OR YEAR AFTER, BUT I THINK IT'S A GOOD CHANCE TO TAKE, TO JUST BE ABLE TO WALK AROUND UP THERE AND WATCH DIFFERENT COURTS.
THIS IS, UH, A GREAT OPPORTUNITY JUST TO ADD, UM, YOU KNOW, WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A PROFESSIONAL OUTDOOR EVENT.
UM, YOU HAD MENTIONED SEATING.
UM, WE HAVE TWO COURTS WITH STADIUM SEATING.
SO THIS GETS US ON THAT MAP TO POSSIBLY BRING US IN SOME OUTDOOR EVENTS IN THE FUTURE.
I'M ON BRAG ON YOU FOR A SECOND, FOR HIM HARD.
YOU'VE WORKED ON BRINGING IN OTHER TOURNAMENTS ALL YEAR ROUND, AND THIS WOULD BE THE FIRST TIME THAT YOU'RE GOING TO OFFER SPONSORSHIPS AT THE FACILITY.
AND SO INCLUDED IN THESE WOULD BE, UH, AND I SAW YOUR POWERPOINT EARLIER.
SO I, UH, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT AS SPONSORSHIP TO THIS PARTICULAR TOURNAMENT WOULD BE, UH, FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR OF 2023, CORRECT? OR YEAH, RECOGNITION WOULD BE THE ENTIRE YEAR.
IT WOULDN'T G SPEED FOR THAT WEEK.
AND THE AMOUNT OF TOURNAMENTS THAT YOU BRING IN THE INDOOR AND BETWEEN, UH, BETWEEN COLLEGIATE, UM, HIGH LEVEL YOUTH, UH, USTA, UH, THE AMOUNT OF TOURNAMENTS THAT YOU BRING IN ALL YEAR AND THE 26 COURTS THAT ARE OUTSIDE 24, 24, 24, THAT ARE OUTSIDE 200 TO 300,000 PEOPLE A YEAR COME, UH, COME THROUGH.
AND SO THIS IS KIND OF TURNING INTO SUCH A GATHERING PLACE OR SUCH A, YOU KNOW, SUCH AN OPPORTUNITY EVEN FOR SPONSORSHIP.
SO IT'S, IT FEELS LIKE IT'S THE RIGHT TIME FOR THAT.
AND FOR US TO BE ASKED AND NOT BID FOR THIS, I LOVE IT.
SO HOW LONG HAS THE COURT BEEN OPEN? TWO YEARS TO EVERY TOURNAMENT AND A PRO TOURNAMENTS KNOCKING ON OUR DOOR.
SO THAT JUST SHOWS YOU THE QUALITY.
IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN TO THE EDMONDSON ACCORD, JUST GO THERE PARK WALK IN, YOU CAN GET YOU SOME FOOD TO EAT.
YOU CAN WATCH SOME GREAT, UH, TOURNAMENT, ARMY, UH, TENNIS AT ALL DIFFERENT LEVELS THERE, BUT IS IT IS A GYM THAT IS JUST ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.
ONE OF THE TOP COMPLEXES IN THE WORLD.
THAT'S JUST, THERE'S A LOT OF STUFF GOING ON, BUT THOSE ARE OUR PURCHASES.
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO ON THEM? I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE SPEND THE MONEY MAYOR.
SECOND, THE SECOND, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE.
EASY FOR ME TO SAY THOSE PURCHASES ARE BEEN APPROVED.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH NOW, CONSIDERATION AND ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS.
[A. Discussion and Consideration of Resolution No. ____________ to Approve Participation in Distributors Oklahoma Settlement Agreement - Opioid Litigation.]
EIGHT DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION NUMBER 18 DASH 20 TO 18 DASH 22 TO APPROVE PARTICIPATION IN TO PARTICIPATION IN THE DISTRIBUTORS, OKLAHOMA SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT, O B O LITIGATION.WE CAN ALSO DO OUT A NUMBER OF B IF YOU WANT IT.
LET'S GO AHEAD AND SAY THIS ALSO, THAT'S THE DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION NUMBER 19 DASH 22, 19 DASH 22 TO APPROVE PARTICIPATION IN THE JANSSEN, OKLAHOMA SUBDIVISION, OPIOID, UH, SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT, VERY COUNCIL BACK IN 2018, THE COUNCIL ENTERED INTO
[00:55:01]
A REPRESENTATION AGREEMENT WITH VACUUM TABS AND FORMER SEAL LAW FIRMS TO PARTICIPATE IN LITIGATION RELATED TO THE OPIOID EPIDEMIC IN OUR COMMUNITY AND THE COUNTRY AS A WHOLE.AND SO THROUGH THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS, WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THIS OUTSIDE ATTORNEY FIRM, AND THEY'VE ALSO BEEN WORKING WITH THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA AND PRESENTED TO YOU TONIGHT ARE A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT SETTLEMENT PROPOSALS RELATED TO SETTLEMENT AGREEMENTS WERE OPIOID LITIGATION, AND ONE RELATES TO THE DISTRIBUTORS, OKLAHOMA SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT.
AND THE OTHER ONE IS PARTICIPATION IN THE JANSSEN, OKLAHOMA SUBDIVISION, OPIOID SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT.
WE'RE ASKING THE COUNCIL TO AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO SIGN ANY NECESSARY DOCUMENTS THAT MIGHT RELATE TO THOSE SETTLEMENTS.
UH, THEY ALL WERE CONTINGENT UPON THE A HUNDRED PERCENT PARTICIPATION IN THE VARIOUS LITIGATING.
SO DIVISIONS, UH, HAVE MORE DIGITAL INFORMATION TO, UH, AS WE GATHER THE, ALL THE PARTICIPATION, BUT IT WOULDN'T QUITE TO PROVIDE SOME ADDITIONAL FUNDS FROM THE CITY UPON THOSE SETTLEMENTS THAT WILL BE, UH, USED FOR OPIOID RE REMEDIATE REMEDIATION AND ABATEMENT, UH, THROUGHOUT, THROUGHOUT OUR COMMUNITY.
SO THERE'S SOME GUIDELINES WE'LL FOLLOW WITH REGARD TO THAT, BUT THIS IS THE FIRST STEP OF TRYING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THOSE SETTLEMENTS.
AND AS YOU SAID IN THERE, IT HAS TO BE A HUNDRED PERCENT PARTICIPATION, AND WE'RE JUST ONE OF MANY THAT ARE IN THERE.
SO IF WE APPROVE THAT, YOU WILL KEEP US UP TO DATE ON HOW THE REST OF THE SETTLEMENTS ARE GOING.
IS THERE A TIME LIMIT ON HOW LONG THAT CAN TAKE BY THE END OF THE PRIOR TO END OF THE YEAR? FOR SURE.
CHRISTINA MOTION ON ADAMS FIVE, A AND B, PLEASE.
COUNSEL MOVED YOUR APPROVE FIVE AB SECOND MOTION SECOND, PLEASE GET YOUR VOTE.
WE APPROVE THOSE TWO ITEMS. OKAY.
[6. Update and consideration of direction to city staff regarding the property located at 1300 E. Ayers (OYO Hotel), declared a public nuisance on January 24, 2022.]
IT'S NOW SIX.WE JUST NEED A MOTION TO CONTINUE THAT TO 8 22.
I THINK THAT I MISSED THAT ITEM AS IT.
NUMBER SIX HAS BEEN MOVED TO 8 22.
NOW WE NEED A MOTION TO RECESS.
M A CITY COUNCIL MEETING AND CONVENIENT ADMIN PUBLIC WORKS AUTHORITY MEETING SOME OF SECOND.
WE ARE NOW IN THE PUBLIC WORKS MEETING.
[7. Approval of EPWA Meeting Minutes: July 25, 2022.]
APPROVAL OF APWA MEETING MINUTES OF JULY 25TH, 2022.SECOND MOTION SECOND, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE.
THOSE MEETING MINUTES HAVE BEEN APPROVED OR
[8. EPWA General Consent Items: (Items listed under EPWA General Consent are usually approved as a group with a proper motion from a trustee of the EPWA. Trustees may request discussion or separate action on any item under EPWA General Consent.)]
APWA CONSENT ITEMS. UH, ADMINISTRATORS APPROVE A TRANSFER APPROPRIATION FOR THE SECOND AND BRIAN INTERSECTION OR IMPROVEMENT PROJECT FOR $36,735.I'M JUST GOING TO ASK HER CITY ENGINEER TO GIVE US A STATUS UPDATE ON THE PROJECT, BECAUSE I KNOW IT'S OFTEN THE COMMUNITY QUESTION WE GET.
THE CONTRACTOR IS CURRENTLY WORKING ON, UH, PLACING CONCRETE ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF, UH, SOUTH OF SECOND STREET ON BRYANT.
WE ARE HOPEFUL THAT BIFF NEAR THE END OF THIS MONTH OR WITHIN THE FIRST WEEK OR SO THAT THEY WILL BE ALMOST COMPLETELY FINISHED.
THERE MAY BE SIDEWALKS, DRIVEWAYS, SODDING, THINGS OF THAT TO BE DONE, POSSIBLY THE SIGNAL LIGHTS STILL BEING WORKED ON, BUT WE'RE TRYING AS FAST AS WE CAN.
AND THE CONTRACTOR REALLY WANTS TO GET ALL THOSE LANES OPEN.
WE HAVE TO GO BACK AND REDO ON SECOND WITH IT BEING SO HOT.
SOME OF THE NEW CONCRETE HAS CRACKED.
SO THEY'VE GOT TO GO REPLACE THAT, BUT WE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO HAVE ACCESS TO THE WALGREENS.
SO THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME LANE SHIFTS OUT THERE AND THAT'S GOING TO CAUSE AN EXTRA WEEK OR SO DELAY BY GETTING THAT BACK.
CAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO SHUT ACCESS OFF TO THE WALGREENS, BUT WE HOPE BETWEEN BETWEEN NOW 30 DAYS, 45 DAYS, WE'LL BE OUT OF EVERYBODY'S WAY AND HOPEFULLY CLOSER TO 30.
ANY QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT, WE CAN, UM, COUNSEL, WOULD YOU LIKE TO JOIN THAT ONE? MOVE TO APPROVE ITEM EIGHT, A ONE SECOND, MOTION SECOND, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE.
NOW IMPROVE A PURCHASES, PROVE OF SOLE PROVIDER EQUIPMENT FOR WATER WASTEWATER TREATMENT PROCESS FOR FISCAL YEAR 23 WITH AN APPROVED BUDGET.
AND THE NEXT ONE IS APPROVAL OF THE 18TH ANNUAL RENEWAL OF THE INTER-GOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF OKLAHOMA CITY FOR ORIGINAL HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION AND MANAGEMENT PROGRAM.
UM, BOBBY MASTERSON IS GOING TO GIVE US A LITTLE PRESENTATION ON THAT ONE GOOD EVENING.
I'M GOING TO REVIEW OUR HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE PROGRAMS REAL QUICK.
WHAT'S ON THE AGENDA IS THE INTER LOCAL AGREEMENT TO, UM, WORK WITH OKLAHOMA CITY AND THE DISPOSAL OF THOSE WASTE.
[01:00:01]
OPTION HERE IN ADMIN, WE OFFER TWO OPTIONS FOR DISPOSAL.UH, WE HAVE AN AT YOUR DOOR SERVICE.
IT IS A THIRD-PARTY CONTRACTOR THROUGH WASTE MANAGEMENT, WHERE THEY WILL ARRIVE AT THE RESIDENT'S HOME AND PICK UP THE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE, UH, PAINTS, FERTILIZERS, THOSE KINDS OF CHEMICALS.
AND WE HAVE A DROP-OFF SERVICE AVAILABLE THROUGH THIS AGREEMENT WITH OKLAHOMA CITY.
THE RESIDENT HAS TO TRANSFER IT DOWN THERE, UH, TO THEIR FACILITY TO BE PROCESSED.
UH, AND THERE ARE SOME DIFFERENCES IN THE PROGRAMS THAT CAN HELP THEM DETERMINE WHICH ONE THEY NEED TO NEED TO TAKE OPTION ON.
SO THE AT YOUR DOOR SERVICE COMES TO THEIR HOUSE.
THEY'LL CALL THAT ONE 800 NUMBER OR EMAIL, THAT ADDRESS AND SCHEDULE A PICKUP.
NOW THEY HAVE TO SCHEDULE THE PICKUP BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO SEND THEM A KIT TO PACKAGE EVERYTHING PROPERLY, TO PREVENT SPILLAGE, TO LABEL IT.
THEY HAVE TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THEY'RE PICKING UP BECAUSE THE DRIVER HAS TO FILL OUT A MANIFEST, SEWING EVERY CHEMICAL ON HIS TRUCK.
IT HAS TO BE LABELED FOR THEM TO PICK IT UP.
UH, ALL THOSE QUESTIONS WILL BE ASKED ON THE PHONE CALL.
THE PICKUP DATE WILL BE SCHEDULED AND, UH, THEY'LL SWING BY YOUR HOUSE AND THEY'LL PICK IT UP.
UH, EACH HOUSEHOLD IS ENTITLED TO UNLIMITED COLLECTIONS PER YEAR.
THERE IS NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE FOR THE ADDITIONAL PICKUPS.
THIS IS WHAT WE CALL A PASS THROUGH COSTS.
SO 60 CENTS OF YOUR UTILITY BILL GOES TOWARD THIS PROGRAM.
AND THAT'S A PASS THROUGH BECAUSE WE DO NOT BENEFIT FROM THAT THAT 60 CENTS GOES TO PAY THE AMOUNT OF THE CONTRACT TO KEEP THE SERVICE AVAILABLE.
EVERY YEAR, QUANTITIES CAN BE LIMITED PER PICKUP.
THAT'S DUE TO ROUTING AND MANIFEST REQUIREMENTS.
THEY HAVE TO KNOW HOW MANY GALLONS THEY'RE PICKING UP BEFORE THEY LEAVE THE YARD THAT MORNING FOR THE MANIFEST TO BE CORRECT.
SO IF THEY SHOW UP AT YOUR HOUSE AND YOU SAID YOU WERE GOING TO LEAVE EIGHT GALLONS AND YOU PUT 13 OUT THERE, THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE EIGHT BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT WAS AT YOUR DOOR, UNLESS WHAT THEY HAD AGREED TO PICK UP.
AND WE'LL HAVE TO RESCHEDULE THE REMAINDER.
IF YOU HAVE QUANTITIES BIGGER THAN THAT, THEN THAT'S WHAT THE OTHER SERVICES FOR, UM, WITH OKLAHOMA CITY.
BUT THESE ARE LISTS OF WHAT THEY CAN AND CAN'T ACCEPT.
UM, THESE ARE AVAILABLE ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE UNDER SOLID WASTE TABS, GO TO PROGRAMS AND HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE IS ON THERE.
AND I THINK IF YOU'LL NOTICE DOWN AT THE BOTTOM, IT SAYS SHARPS NEEDLES AND SYRINGES.
THAT'S AN ADDITION IN THE LAST YEAR, THEY STARTED TAKING THOSE.
AND IF YOU TELL THEM THAT YOU HAVE THOSE, THEY WILL SEND THOSE TO THE KIT SPECIFICALLY FOR THAT TO YOU, FOR A CONTAINER TO TAKE NEEDLES AND SYRINGES AND THOSE KINDS OF THINGS SO THAT PEOPLE DON'T HAVE TO DRIVE THEM ALL THE WAY INTO A MEDICAL DELIVERY SERVICE OR HAVE THEM PICKED UP AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT, WE STILL GET TUBE TYPE TVS.
SO THIS IS A LIST OF WHAT WE PICK UP FOR A YEAR TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA.
UM, IT GIVES US A QUANTITY, HOW MANY GALLONS, HOW MANY POUNDS ARE PICKED UP OF ALL THE DIFFERENT CATEGORIES THAT THEY DO PICK UP? UM, SOME OF THE THINGS THAT ARE, YOU KNOW, KINDA, UH, CRAZY 1,735 FLUORESCENT TUBES, 66 POUNDS OF RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES.
THIS IS FOR THE ENTIRE CITY FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR THAT WAS PICKED UP THROUGH WASTE MANAGEMENT.
WE GET THOSE MONTHLY AND YEARLY, BUT THIS IS THE YEARLY ONE FOR, UH, 2021, THE DROP-OFF OPTION WITH OKLAHOMA CITY.
THAT'S WHAT THIS AGREEMENT THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TONIGHT IS FOR IT'S AT 1621 SOUTH PORTLAND.
YOU HAVE TO TAKE YOUR DRIVER'S LICENSE AND A COPY OF YOUR CURRENT EDMUND UTILITY BILL WITH YOU, A PRINTOUT WILL WORK, BUT IT HAS TO SHOW THAT YOU HAVE A UTILITY ACCOUNT WITH THE CITY OF EDMOND.
UM, THE FACILITIES OPEN TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY AND SATURDAY PART OF THE DAY, UH, THE KIM, THE CHEMICALS THAT THEY TAKE, PESTICIDES, PAINT, POLISHES, CLEANERS, UM, THEY DON'T ACCEPT ANY TIRES AND THEY DON'T ACCEPT ANY SCRAP ENGINES OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
WE HAVE A BIG PROBLEM WITH PEOPLE SHOWING UP WITH TIRES DOWN THERE, WANTING TO GET RID OF THEM, AND THEY CAN'T ACCEPT THEM AT THAT FACILITY.
THAT'S WHAT THE BUILDING LOOKS LIKE.
THESE, UH, HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE PRODUCTS THAT ARE DELIVERED TO OKLAHOMA CITY, THERE WILL BE AN ADDITIONAL CHARGE FOR THAT WILL BE ON THEIR BILL.
WE GET A STATEMENT FROM OKLAHOMA CITY WITH WHO DROPPED IT OFF AND HOW MUCH, AND THAT PASSES THROUGH THEIR UTILITY BILLS HERE IN THE CITY OF EDMOND.
SO THIS IS REALLY INTENDED FOR SOMEBODY AT THEIR HOUSE THAT HAS 20 GALLONS OF PAINT THAT WANTS TO GET THEM OVER WITH IN ONE FELL SWOOP.
THEY CAN TAKE THOSE DOWN THERE AND GET RID OF THOSE THERE.
UM, BUT IT IS AN OPTION IF THEY DON'T WANT TO WAIT ON A SCHEDULE OR THEY WANT TO DRIVE IT DOWN THERE, OR THE QUANTITIES ARE TOO GREAT FOR HOUSEHOLD PICKUP.
AND THAT'S IT IN A NUTSHELL, ANY QUESTIONS? OKAY.
NOW I'M GLAD THAT THE OTHER PROGRAM IS UNLIMITED BECAUSE
[01:05:02]
I USE IT ALL THE TIME.UH, NEXT ONE, UH, APPROVAL OF CHANGE ORDER.
NUMBER TWO, DID CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT WITH CROSSLAND HEAVY CONTRACTORS FOR WTP ZERO ONE, A WATER TREATMENT PLANT EXPANSION, UH, FOR $326,686 THOUSAND 56, 50 7 CENTS INCREASE.
AND THOSE ARE ALL OF OUR PURCHASES.
COUNSEL, WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO ON THOSE THREE? MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THEM.
SECOND, A MOTION SECOND, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE.
THOSE PURCHASES THAT HAVE BEEN APPROVED NEXT, WE NEED A MOTION TO ADJOURN.
THE MN PUBLIC WORKS AUTHORITY MEETING AND RECONVENE THE EDMOND CITY COUNCIL MEETING.
SO MY SECOND, MY SECOND, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE.
WE'RE NOW BACK IN THE EDMOND CITY COUNCIL MEETING, AND THE NEXT ITEM IS PAINTING ITEMS

THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING APPROVAL OF A PUD THAT WOULD ALLOW TWO DUPLEXES OR FOUR UNITS AT TWO 15 WEST STATURE.
THE SITE IS CURRENTLY ZONED A SINGLE FAMILY.
UH, THE ENTIRE LOT IS 3,504 SQUARE FEET, WHICH PREVENTS THE ADVOCATE FROM, UH, UH, APPLYING FOR STRAIGHT B OR TWO FAMILY ZONING, UH, WHICH W WHICH WOULD REQUIRE 14,000 AS A MINIMUM SQUARE FOOTAGE.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? DEFINITELY LIKE THAT.
ANYTHING DID AMY TODD MCKENNA'S FOR FRENCH INVESTMENTS? I THINK RANDY SAID IT WAS 3,500 FOOT LAW.
IT'S ACTUALLY 13,500 FOOT LOT, AND WE NEED 14 LITTLE SMALL.
I DIDN'T HAVE A VERY BIG REQUEST OF JUST 400 SQUARE FEET.
I WAS ASKING FOR, I DIDN'T REALIZE IT WAS 11,400 FEET I NEEDED, BUT, UH, SO WE, IN ORDER TO DO A DUPLEX, WE NEED 400 FEET.
IT MIGHT'VE BEEN EASIER TO GO THROUGH THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT.
IT SEEMED LIKE APPROPRIATE FOR THE PUD BECAUSE OF THE AREA AND WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO HERE.
SO JUST THAT SMALL CORRECTION, I'LL BE HAPPY TO ENTER ANY QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE ANY COUNSEL, ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT.
ANY QUESTIONS? COMMENTS FROM THE AUDIENCE? YES, SIR.
[01:15:01]
STATE YOUR NAME.HOW ARE YOU? MY NAME IS BRENT BERTLESMAN.
UM, I LIVE ON THATCHER STREET.
UM, AND SO I'M HERE ACTUALLY REPRESENTING MYSELF, MY WIFE, MY WONDERFUL 18 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER AND A FEW OF OUR NEIGHBORS.
UM, SO A LITTLE BIT OF BACKSTORY.
UH, I PROMISE TO GET TO THE POINT, BUT A LITTLE BACKSTORY IS WE'VE BEEN IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD FOR ABOUT 12 YEARS NOW.
UM, AND I CAN REALLY APPRECIATE DUPLEXES.
MY WIFE AND I ACTUALLY LIVED IN A DUPLEX OFF OF ONE OF THE OFF OF ONE OF THESE STREETS OFF OF STATURE, UH, FOR SIX YEARS.
AND WE WERE ABLE TO LIVE THERE, UM, AND REALLY AFFORD A PLACE THAT, YOU KNOW, AT THE TIME WE COULDN'T REALLY AFFORD A SINGLE FAMILY HOME AT THE TIME WE WERE THE AFFORD A PLACE, UM, THAT WAS KIND OF THE, IN BETWEEN AN APARTMENT AND A HOUSE, RIGHT.
AND WE HAD THAT, WE HAD A GARAGE, WE HAD A NICE PLACE TO LIVE AND, AND WE REALLY ENJOYED IT.
AND SO, UH, FOR, FOR REFERENCE, IF YOU DON'T KNOW OFF OF BACHELOR, THERE'S TWO STREETS, UM, STERLING POINT AND CHALK HILL AND CHALK HILL IS REFERENCED IN THIS, UM, UH, IN THE DOCUMENTATION HERE.
BUT, UM, OTHERWISE IT'S LARGELY SINGLE FAMILY HOMES, UM, THROUGHOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND, AND, AND IT'S A GREAT NEIGHBORHOOD, HONESTLY.
AND SO WE SAW THE SIGN GO UP ABOUT THE CHANGE IN ZONING.
UM, AND LIKE I SAID, WE CAN APPRECIATE THE DUPLEXES, YOU KNOW, WE SAW, AND THE SIGN ACTUALLY SAID, AND I'LL GET INTO THIS A LITTLE BIT.
AND I PRONOUNCED TOO, BUT IT'S NOT ACTUALLY SAID IT WAS GOING TO BE TWO FAMILY, UM, ZONE FOR TWO FAMILY.
HOWEVER, WHENEVER WE LOOKED AT THE PLANS, WE WERE SHOCKED TO SEE THAT THERE WAS ACTUALLY FOUR UNITS HERE, UM, ON A PRETTY FRANKLY PRETTY SMALL LAW.
UM, AND SO AFTER LOOKING AT THAT AND MY WIFE AND I, WE WENT THIS LAST WEEKEND AND WE WOULDN'T LOCK IT UP KNOCKING ON NEIGHBOR'S DOORS.
UM, AND I HAVE A FEW NOTES HERE, JUST MAKING SURE I COVER, YOU KNOW, WHAT MY NEIGHBORS AND I TALKED ABOUT.
BUT, UM, BUT, UM, SO WE NOT GOING TO NEIGHBOR'S DOORS AND TALK TO SOME FOLKS, AND EVERYONE WAS SHOCKED THAT WE WERE GOING TO PUT FOUR UNITS ON THIS, ON THIS LOT.
LIKE, LIKE, LIKE THEY SAW THE SIGN AND THEY THOUGHT MAYBE A DUPLEX, UM, ALL OF THAT, ALL THE NEIGHBORS, I THOUGHT I HAVE 15 SIGNATURES TO, TO PITCH, TO PETITION THAT'S.
I HAVEN'T GOTTEN TO TALK TO ALL MY OTHER NEIGHBORS, BUT 15 OUT OF 15 WERE AGAINST IT.
UM, AND IN FACT, NO ONE CAME AND KNOCKED ON OUR, NO ONE ASKED US ABOUT THIS.
THEY ONLY PUT THE SIGN UP THAT, HEY, THIS IS GOING TO BE A ZONING CHANGE.
AND A LOT OF OUR NATE, A LOT OF MY NEIGHBORS JUST KIND OF ACCEPTED IT AND DIDN'T EVEN UNDERSTAND OR KNOW THE PROCESS OF KIND OF WHAT COULD BE DONE BEYOND WHAT WAS LISTED ON THE SITE.
AND, AND, AND SO IT FEELS LIKE WE'VE KIND OF MET MAYBE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS THERE.
UM, SO AGAIN, MY WIFE AND I LOOKED AT PLENTY OF DOCUMENTATION, WENT AROUND NEIGHBORS BY THE WAY, WE HAVE AWESOME NEIGHBORS.
UM, AND, UM, YOU KNOW, AS ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE WE WAVE AT OUR NEIGHBORS, WE SEE EVERYTHING, BUT THIS IS ACTUALLY US.
WE LIKE GOING OUT AND GETTING THE COMMUNITY AND WE HAVE SOME GREAT NEIGHBORS.
WE HAVE PEOPLE WHO'VE LIVED THEIR ENTIRE LIVES AND THEY'RE, THEY'RE, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE, THEY'RE ADULTS LIVE THEIR ENTIRE LIVES AND THEY WERE SHOCKED TO HEAR THAT THERE'S GONNA BE A DUPLEX ON THATCHER.
UM, AND THAT'S, THAT'S KIND OF WEIRD.
UM, WE HAVE THESE TWO STREETS THAT ARE KIND OF DEDICATED TO THAT.
WHY ARE WE KIND OF, KIND OF ENCROACHING ON THAT, IF YOU WILL.
UM, AND MORE, MORE, FRANKLY, WHY ARE WE SETTING PRECEDENT HERE? LIKE, LIKE, IS THIS GOING TO HAPPEN? WE HAVE OTHER INVESTORS, WE HAVE LOTS OF INVESTORS IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
WE HAVE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES THAT WE HAVE RENTERS.
WE HAVE OWNERS, MY WIFE AND I OWN, UM, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A LOT, WE HAVE A GOOD MIX OF FOLKS THERE, BUT FACTURE IS NOT, UH, THAT IS NOT, UH, UM, EXCUSE ME, A COL-DE-SAC, YOU KNOW, THE, THE STREETS THAT THEY'RE, THAT THEY'RE REFERENCING ARE COLA'S EX WITH HARKING WITH, UM, WITH WIDE STREET, WITH WIDENED STREETS, WITH, UM, YOU KNOW, IT, IT WAS DESIGNED FOR IT, UM, WITH, WITH SIDEWALKS UP AND DOWN THE STREETS, SATCHER DOESN'T HAVE SIDEWALKS.
I KNOW THERE WAS A MENTION OF SIDEWALK, BUT, AND THE PLANS, BUT THAT'S YOUR, IS W FASCIA WEST OF THE TRAIN TRACKS HAS NO SIDEWALKS WHATSOEVER.
UM, SO IT'S, IT'S JUST A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT, UM, THAN, THAN THE, UH, THAN THE TWO STREETS THAT WERE MADE WITH THESE DUPLEXES THAT ARE ACTUALLY BEING REFERENCED HERE.
AND SO, UM, REALLY THE QUESTION REALLY IS, IS, YOU KNOW, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE TWO STREETS, WE'RE ASKING THE COUNCIL TO DENY THESE DESIGN CHANGES, UM, AND KEEP THE SINGLE FAMILY.
AND THAT'S BECAUSE HONESTLY, WE, LIKE I SAID, WE LIKE INVESTORS, BUT WE KIND OF WANT, WE, YOU KNOW, AND AGAIN, I HAVE 15 SIGNATURES HERE.
WE'D PREFER THAT SOMEBODY INVEST IN QUALITY OVER QUANTITY, PUT A SINGLE FAMILY HOME, THEY'RE RENTED OUT IT'S, IT'S A LOVELY SPACE.
UM, AND, UH, AND WE JUST THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, FOR OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, IT'D JUST BE SOMETHING MAYBE A LITTLE BIT BETTER.
UM, AND THEN LAST, I JUST KIND OF LIKE, DURING THE COUNSEL'S ATTENTION, THERE WAS SOME DOCUMENTATION THAT WAS PROVIDED AS PART OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION REGARDING, UM, REGARDING THE, THE TIMBERS AND THE TREES ON THE PROPERTY.
AND I HAVE SOME PICTURES HERE, BUT THEY CAME DOWN AND THEY, THEY CUT DOWN SOME TREES ON THE PROPERTY.
IT'S ALL BEEN LEFT THERE FOR OVER A MONTH.
AND ONE OF THE TREES ACTUALLY FELL ON MY NEIGHBORS, UH, FENCE.
UM, AND HE LET ME GO ON THE PROPERTY, ACTUALLY TAKE A PICTURE OF IT AND SHOW IT, BUT NOTHING'S BEEN DONE.
UM, AND, AND THAT SIGN HAS BEEN THERE AND NOT A LOT OF COMMUNICATION WITH NEIGHBORS.
AND AGAIN, NEIGHBORS WERE SHOCKED TO HEAR THIS.
[01:20:01]
ASKING IS WE REALLY LIKED THE NY THIS, AND THEN KEEP IT SINGLE FAMILY.BUT IF NOT, CAN WE AT LEAST REASSESS THIS, NOT PUT FOUR UNITS HERE? IT JUST SEEMED LIKE A LOT, AND CERTAINLY NOT ANALOGOUS TO THE TWO STREETS STERLING POINT IN CHALK HILL.
THAT'S BEING REFERENCED IN THE MATERIALS.
ANYONE ELSE? WE HAVE NOT GOTTEN TO PLAY INTERVIEW OR SEEN THE LAYOUT OF THIS? HAVE WE, UH, NO BUILDING PERMITS AND NOT BEEN FILED.
IT WON'T GO THROUGH THE SITE PLAN PROCESS HAS TO BE CONSIDERED RESIDENTIAL.
SO WE GO THROUGH, IF IT'S LOT SPLIT, IT WILL BE CONSIDERED RESIDENTIAL AND GO THROUGH THE BUILDING PERMIT PROCESS.
IF YOU WANT, WE'LL BE BACK IN FRONT OF YOU.
UM, MY QUESTION IS WHERE ARE THEY IN A PARK? YEAH, YOU BOUGHT THAT TOO.
UM, IS IT FRENCH? CAN YOU SIT IN THIS? I MEAN, IT WAS PROBABLY PREMATURE TO ASK BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE, DO WE HAVE DRAWINGS IN THIS THING? UH, NONE THAT HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED? NO, SIR.
UH, FRENCH IS ON PROPERTY IN THIS AREA FOR A LONG TIME AND, UH, WE WILL COME THROUGH THE PROCESS LIKE ANYBODY ELSE WOULD AND HAVE APPROPRIATE PARKING OR WE'D BE AT THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT.
I DON'T THINK WE'VE GONE TO THAT SPOT YET.
UH, A COUPLE OF THINGS I JUST WANT TO MENTION, AND I APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT OUR APPLICATION BROUGHT THE COMMUNITY TOGETHER, BUT, UH, YOU KNOW, WE PUT A SIGN UP, LIKE WE'RE SUPPOSED TO, WE MAILED OUT NOTICE, LIKE WE'RE SUPPOSED TO MY NAME AND TELEPHONE NUMBER ON THE SIGN AND WE'RE AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION WITHOUT ANY COMMENT.
AND WE COME HERE TONIGHT AS WE'RE SUPPOSED TO, AND THERE'S BEEN NO ATTEMPT FOR ANY DIALOGUE.
AND SO I APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT THIS WEEKEND IT BECAME A POINT OF CONTENTION AND THEN TONIGHT, BUT, UH, YOU KNOW, WE, WE WENT THROUGH THE PROCESSES.
EVERYBODY IS SUPPOSED TO, UH, AND SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO ANSWER ABOUT THE IDEA ABOUT SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T LIKE IT, UH, AS YOU SAW, AND AS YOU HEARD, MR.
AND SO, UH, I'D BE HAPPY TO HAVE A DIALOGUE WOULD HAVE BEEN HAPPY TO HAVE A DIALOGUE AT ANY POINT IN TIME IN THE PROCESS.
UH, BUT AS YOU KNOW, BECAUSE YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THIS AREA, WHETHER OR NOT IT MATCHES THAT INDIVIDUAL HOUSE NEXT DOOR OR THE COMMUNITY, WE HAVE AN EBEN PLAN 2018 FOR A REASON.
AND THE HOUSING THAT EXISTS IN THAT AREA IS COMPLIANT WITH THAT.
AND OUR APPLICATION IS CONSISTENT WITH THAT.
AND OUR, OUR PARKING, UH, COUNCILMAN CHAPMAN WILL BE COMPLIANT WITH THAT AS WELL.
WHEN WE COME FORWARD WITH OUR BUILDING PERMIT, IF NOT, YOU KNOW, WE WON'T BE ISSUED A PERMIT.
JUST SO I'LL COME BACK IN FRONT OF US.
SO, SORRY, TODD, BUT THIS IS THE ONLY OPPORTUNITY THAT I HAVE.
SO PLEASE DON'T BE OFFENDED, OFFENDED.
I WAS JUST TRYING TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION SO EASILY.
WANT KNOW ANOTHER CONFIGURATION OF THE PARKING.
SO WE DON'T HAVE PEOPLE PARKING ON THE STREETS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDABLE, MY ONLY CONCERN.
SO THAT'S HELPS AT LEAST WE HAVE A PICTURE OF THAT.
TAKE A LOOK AT, SO THERE'S A PICTURE HAD PROPOSED PARKING ON THERE, OR JUST, JUST THE ATLANTA OUTLINE OF THE BUILDING.
IT SHOWS IT WILL BE IN THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING, ON THE PROPERTY, NOT ON THE STREET.
THERE'S DRIVEWAYS FOR TWO CAR GARAGES IN THE FRONT, CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT.
SO THERE'S EIGHT PARKING SPOTS IN FRONT OF THESE, NOT ON THE STREET, NOT ON THE STREET AND NOT EVEN VISIBLE IN GARAGES AND OUR PUD DOESN'T CONTEMPLATE AND VARIANCE FOR PARKING OR EVEN IDENTIFIED BEING PARKED ON THE STREET IS SO YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO PARK IN FRONT AND GO AROUND THE SIDES TO GO INTO THE SIDE OF HIM.
IS THAT THE, I THINK THAT'S QUITE POSSIBLE.
I MEAN, IT DEPENDS ON HOW THEY'RE, IF THEY'RE, I MEAN, WE'VE ALL SEEN DUPLEXES HAVE TWO PARKING AND WHETHER OR NOT IT CUTS OUT IN THE MIDDLE TO GET TO THE ENTRY DOORS OR GO AROUND THE SIDE.
THAT'S THE WAY IT'S SHOWN HERE IS THAT THERE'S A SIDE ENTRY ON DUPLEXES.
YOU KNOW, I'M IN FAVOR OF THE DENSITY, UM, THAT WE'RE STARTING TO GET IN THESE NEIGHBORHOODS, BUT AS WE ALL KNOW, THE DEVIL'S IN THE DETAILS AND THE WAY THAT THE DEVELOPER LAYS OUT THE PRODUCT.
AND SO I, I WOULD TRUST THAT OUR CITY STAFF WILL HAVE SOME SAY IN THE WAY THAT IT'S LAID OUT AND THAT THERE IS ENOUGH PARKING SO THAT WE CAN KEEP THE CARS OFF THE STREETS AND, AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
THAT'D BE SHOCKED IF THEY DIDN'T AND THEN WE'VE GOT THE BEST STAFF AT WHEN IT COMES TO THAT KIND OF STUFF.
AND YOU HEAR ME SAY THAT EVERY TIME I'M UP HERE, SO YEAH.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM A COUPLE OF COMMENTS?
[01:25:01]
OKAY.I REALLY APPRECIATE THE, THE, THE TALK REALLY.
AND EVEN WHEN, UM, I WAS ON BOARD OF APPEALS AND ADJUSTMENTS BEFORE CITY COUNCIL AND WOULD ALWAYS APPRECIATE WHEN, UH, SOMEBODY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD WOULD GO AROUND TO THEIR NEIGHBORS AND COMMUNICATE WITH THEM AND BUILD THOSE RELATIONSHIPS AND TALK.
AND SO I, HE DID A WONDERFUL JOB AND, AND THANK YOU FOR SHARING THAT.
I FEEL THAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE 2018 PLAN AND THE DENSITY AND HOW THIS, IT REALLY DOES MEET WITH THAT, HOW THE DOWNTOWN AREA IS EXPANDING A LITTLE BIT AND CHANGING OVER INTO WHERE THERE'S SOME MORE DENSITY THAT ARE HAPPENING ON THOSE LOTS.
AND THE REASON WHY IS BECAUSE IT'S WALKABLE INTO THE DOWNTOWN AREA, MORE BIKE, RIDING, MORE WALKING, UM, WHICH CALLS FOR, FOR KIND OF MORE PEOPLE IN THAT AREA.
AND I JUST WOULD SAY THAT KIND OF THE SAME THINGS HAPPENING IN MY WARD IN A WAY IN EAST ADMIN, WHERE THERE IS SOME TENSION OVER PEOPLE ARE USED TO, TO ONE ACRE AND TWO ACRE, LOTS.
AND THEY'RE NOW COMING DOWN TO, YOU KNOW, TO 8,000 SQUARE FEET AND 10,000 SQUARE FEET.
SO THAT CHANGES HAPPENING WHEN UTILITIES ARE COMING INTO MY WARD.
SO I, I FEEL LIKE THIS IS KIND OF SIMILAR IN THAT WAY, WHERE THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME CHANGES IN THAT THE WAY A LOT IS REDEVELOPED AND, AND, AND HAVING MORE DENSITY, THE PLAN DOES THAT'S CALL FOR THAT BECAUSE OF THE LOCATION THAT IT'S IN AND, AND THE AMENITIES THAT, THAT ARE IN THE AREA FOR THAT.
SO I JUST WANTED TO KIND OF EXPLAIN, UM, I, I APPRECIATE, I APPRECIATE YOUR TALK AND, AND COMING TO US, BUT I ALSO, I ALSO UNDERSTAND AS IT IS IN MY AREA WHERE LOCK SIZES AND NUMBER OF NUMBER OF POUNDS AND UNITS ARE CHANGING THE SAME THING AS IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA AS WELL.
AND I MIGHT JUST NOTE IT, THERE DOES SEEM TO BE, UM, SOME MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT NEIGHBORS WHO LIVE IN MORE DENSE, UH, HOMES, AND, UM, JUST KIND OF WANT TO REMIND PEOPLE, I MEAN, QUANTITY OF FOLKS DOESN'T AFFECT QUALITY, QUALITY FOLKS CAN LIVE IN MORE DENSE ENVIRONMENTS AND BE GREAT NEIGHBORS.
AND, UM, SO JUST BECAUSE IT'S NOT EXACTLY WHAT'S NEXT DOOR DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT'S NOT GOING TO BE A QUALITY HOME, UM, AND PRODUCT AND SOMETHING THAT WE NEED IN OUR COMMUNITY HARDLY EVER COME BACK UP HERE.
BUT I THINK CHRISTIE MIGHT HAVE A SLIDE, AND I'M NOT SURE THAT IT HAS AN ACTUAL LAYOUT INTERIOR LAYOUT, SO WE CAN CONFIRM THE SIDE ENTRY.
CAUSE YOU SAID YOU JUST MORE THAN WE HAVEN'T SHOWN YOU AS MUCH AS YOU'D LOVE TO SEE, ALTHOUGH, SO I DON'T KNOW, CHRISTIE, DO YOU HAVE ANOTHER SLIDE FROM STEPHANIE? SHE SAYS, SHE THOUGHT YOU DID.
WE HAVE A LAYOUT THAT SHOWS THE EXACT SIDE ENTRY, BUT IT JUST HAS TO BREAK DOWN TO THE SCHEMATIC, TO THE STRUCTURE.
SO HOPEFULLY I CAN SEE IT WHEN IT COMES TO STAFF.
I'LL BE HAPPY TO MAKE SURE YOU SEE IT TOMORROW.
THAT'D BE GREAT IF I COULD GET, I'D LIKE TO BE INVOLVED.
SO STAFF KNOWS THAT WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THIS ONE, ABOUT THE PARKING.
WE WANT TO ENSURE THAT THERE IS PARKING ON THE PROPERTY, NOT ON THE STREET.
AND I WOULD SAY, NOT JUST THIS ONE, BUT IF YOU COUNT AND FUTURE COUNCILS, THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN THIS, UH, IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.
I LIVE IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD AND, UH, IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
WE'VE GOT TO MAKE SURE AS A COUNCIL PLANNING COMMISSION AND NEIGHBORS THAT IT'S DONE PROPERLY.
AND SO I SO APPRECIATE YOU AND WHAT YOU GUYS ARE TRYING TO DO.
AND, UH, WE'VE GOT TO MAKE SURE, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, WE'VE GOT TO HAVE MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN THIS, IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD AS WELL.
SO THERE'S A, THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF A TUG THERE.
AND, UH, SO WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT IT'S DONE PROPERLY, RIGHT.
MA'AM IF YOU WANT TO SAY SOMETHING, PLEASE COME UP, INTRODUCE YOURSELF AT THE PODIUM.
UM, I THINK WHAT MY HUSBAND WAS REALLY KIND OF TRYING TO SAY IS THAT WE DON'T FEEL THAT THE APP, THE NOTICE GIVEN WAS ADEQUATE.
UM, IF YOU LOOK AT THE SIGN, IT VERY CLEARLY STATES, OH, WE'RE GOING TO PUT TWO FAMILY HOMES ON HERE.
TWO NEIGHBORS WHO, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE WORKING FULL-TIME JOBS.
WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE A LOT OF, YOU KNOW, THEY DON'T HAVE A LOT OF MONEY IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD.
THEY'RE WORKING MULTIPLE JOBS, TRYING TO KEEP FOOD ON THE TABLE, TAKE CARE OF THEIR KIDS.
SO WHENEVER WE'RE GOING AROUND AND THEY'RE LIKE, OH YEAH, THEY'RE JUST GOING TO PUT A DUPLEX.
WHAT'S WRONG WITH ONE? WHY DO WE HAVE TO PUT TWO ON ONE SPOT? I MEAN, THERE'S, I'M FIVE FOOT SIX.
THERE'S FIVE FOOT BETWEEN EACH SIDE ON THAT.
LIKE, IS THAT SO TINY? LIKE WHY CAN'T WE JUST PUT ONE DUPLEX? LIKE WHY, WHY IS NOT, NOT AN
[01:30:01]
OPTION? THAT'S ALL WE'RE ASKING IS FOR SOME OTHER OPTION, OTHER THAN LESS, THE REASON WHY WE CAME SO LATE TO THIS IS BECAUSE MOST OF US THOUGHT THAT IT WAS ONE DUPLEX GOING ON, NOT TOO ON A LOT, THIS LESS THAN A THIRD ACRE, LIKE YOU'RE DEALING WITH ONE, I GO OFF OF, WE'RE NOT DEALING WITH, WELL, WE'RE DEALING WITH LOTS OF THAT ALREADY BEEN FIGHTING MULTIPLE TIMES INTO, UM, YOU KNOW, 10 THEATER LOGS, THIRD ACRE LOCKS, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER IT IS, THEY'RE ALL REALLY TINY ALREADY.YOU KNOW, IF YOUR CLIENTS WOULD BE WILLING TO DO SOMETHING OTHER THAN TWO DUPLEXES, I MEAN, IS THAT AN OPTION WE'RE WILLING TO WORK WITH YOU, BUT THIS WAS VERY CONFUSING.
AND A LOT OF US FELT LIKE BLINDSIDED, RANDY, DOES THAT SIGN? WHY DO WE HAVE A SIGN THAT SAYS TO, LET'S SAY TO FAMILY, TH THE UNDERLYING ZONING OF THE PUD WAS DUPLEX OR TWO FAMILIES ZONING, I BELIEVE IS WHY THEY CHOSE THAT LANGUAGE.
THE LANGUAGE TO FAMILIES ZONING IS THE ORDINANCE LANGUAGE FOR DUPLEXES IN THE CITY OF EDMOND.
SO IT WASN'T OUR MAGIC LANGUAGE.
IT'S THE LANGUAGE THAT'S IN THE ORDINANCE.
AND SO NO ONE TRIED TO BAIT AND SWITCH.
I MEAN, WE FOLLOWED THE EXACT LANGUAGE.
THAT'S IN OUR ORDINANCE THAT IS APPROPRIATE FOR THIS TYPE OF PUD.
THAT'S THE ZONING DESIGNATION.
AND SO, NO, MY CLIENT'S NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING LESS THAN THAT.
THAT'S THE APPLICATION THAT WE SUBMITTED AND IT FITS.
AND, BUT FOR 400 SQUARE FEET, IT WOULDN'T EVEN BE BEFORE ANYBODY.
AND SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, I DON'T, I'M NOT TRYING TO BE A JERK OR INSENSITIVE.
I KNOW WE FOLLOWED EXACTLY WHEN WE WORKED WITH RANDY AND HIS STAFF AND RANDY KNOWS THIS.
WE MAKE A POINT TO MAKE SURE WE FOLLOW IT TO THE LETTER SO THAT WE DON'T EVER GET INTO A CONVERSATION WHERE SOMEONE SAYS, WELL, HEY, YOU USE LANGUAGE THAT DOESN'T FIT WITH WHAT WE'RE DOING.
AND THIS CASE, WHEN IT COMES TO THIS TYPE OF USE THE LANGUAGE THAT IS QUOTED OUT OF OUR ORDINANCES TO FAMILIES ZONING.
AND SO IF, IF SOMEONE WANTS TO MAKE A RULE THAT SAYS IN THE FUTURE, YOU NEED A BETTER NARRATIVE.
IT NEEDS MORE WORDS ON YOUR SIGN, OR YOU NOTICE NEEDS TO SAY SOMETHING, WE'LL DO IT.
BUT WE DID EXACTLY WHAT IT SAID.
AND I'M SORRY THAT THAT'S CONFUSING.
AND IT SOUNDS LIKE I'M A JERK, BUT I DIDN'T CREATE THE SITUATION.
AND WE, WHENEVER WE DO THIS AND THE STAFF KNOWS THIS, AND YOU KNOW, THIS, WE SEND A PICTURE OF THE SIGN TO THE STAFF TO SHOW THAT IT WAS UP AND IT WAS UP IN A TIMELY MANNER.
CAUSE IT'S GOTTA BE THERE 20 DAYS BEFORE THE HEARING.
AND EVERYBODY SAYS, YEAH, THAT'S GREAT.
AND WE'VE HAD TO TAKE THEM DOWN BEFORE WHEN THEY DIDN'T COMPLY.
AND SO I'M SORRY THAT IT WAS CONFUSING.
I DIDN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT THAT BEING AN ISSUE BECAUSE WE FOLLOWED THE LANGUAGE THAT'S RIGHT OUT OF YOUR ORDINARY, OUR ORDINANCE.
SO DO WE HAVE AN ESTIMATE OF HOW MANY LETTERS ARE ACTUALLY SENT OUT LETTERS UP TO STAFF WOULD KNOW THAT LETTER.
I HAVE TO LOOK, I KNOW THEY MET THE 300 FEET REQUIREMENT, SO I HAVE NO IDEA HOW MANY LETTERS THAT YES, I'D HAVE TO CHECK THE NUMBERS.
OF COURSE THE LETTERS MAY HAVE SAID THE SAME THING AS IT COULD HAVE, COULD HAVE.
WELL, LOOK, I, YOU KNOW, WE'RE JUST NEIGHBOR, WE'RE JUST TRYING TO GET PEOPLE TO DO THE RIGHT THING.
IF YOU WANT TO STICK WITH THE BARE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS, BUT I DON'T KNOW.
I KINDA LIKE TO BE A BETTER PERSON THAN THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WOULD PROBABLY BE WORTH LOOKING AT IS IF THERE IS SOME NEED TO MAKE MORE, SOMETHING MORE CLEAR ON THOSE NOTICES SO THAT PEOPLE WILL HAVE A BETTER IDEA.
WHAT IS THERE TO SEE IF THEY SHOULD BE CONCERNED ENOUGH TO COHEN? WE'VE DONE THAT BEFORE.
WE'VE DONE IT ON THE LANGUAGE.
YOU'VE DONE IT ON THE SIZE OF THE SIGN.
WE'VE WE'VE, WE'VE CONTINUED TO LOOK AT THIS PROCESS.
UH, AS SITUATIONS HAVE ARISEN ON US, SOUNDS LIKE THIS ONE MIGHT NEED TO BE REFINED.
ANYONE ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE I'D LIKE TO SAY, YES, MA'AM PLEASE COME UP AND INTRODUCE YOURSELF, CONNIE THERE.
I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SPEAK FROM A CITIZENS' PERSPECTIVE.
YOU GUYS ALL, AND YOU, YOU ALL KNOW WHAT THE LANGUAGE IS, YOU KNOW, WHAT THE PROCESS IS.
WE OUT HERE, WE DON'T KNOW THIS IS A LEARNING PROCESS FOR US.
SO WHEN YOU GUYS ARE DOING THINGS AND SAYING THINGS, AND YOU KNOW, YOU COME UP HERE AND SAYING, I DID THIS, THAT AND THE OTHER, AND YOU KNOW, THE LANGUAGE, THE LINGO, ALL THIS AND THAT, YOU GUYS SHOULD BE MORE, UM, MORE OPEN TO THE FACT THAT WE'RE NOT THE EXPERTS THAT YOU GUYS ARE.
MA'AM ANYONE ELSE COUNSEL, WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO ON THIS APPLICATION? IT'S STILL GOING TO GO THROUGH SOME ADDITIONAL REVIEWS, BUT IT WOULD NOT BE COMING TO US.
BRANDY, CAN I ASK A QUESTION? SO, UM, IF THE LOT WERE 14,000 SQUARE FEET, INSTEAD OF 13,005 OR WHATEVER IT IS, WE WOULD NOT BE HAVING THIS DISCUSSION
[01:35:02]
OR IT WOULD NOT BE BEFORE US TO CHANGE.WELL, WE WOULD STILL BE CHANGING THAT WE CHANGED IN THE ZONING AT SOME LEVEL, BECAUSE IT WAS DOWN DAY SINGLE FAMILY.
SO THEY WOULD HAVE TO COME IN FROM A SINGLE FAMILY TO FAMILY B.
BUT IT WOULDN'T BE A PUD, CORRECT? IT WOULD JUST BE OKAY.
UM, UM, I MEAN REALLY ON THE, FOR IT TO SAY TO FAMILY ON THE, ON THE BANNER AND IT'D BE FOR FAMILIES.
I MEAN, IT'S, IT'S CLEARLY MISUNDERSTOOD AND, AND I UNDERSTAND THE, THAT IS THE WORDING AND THAT'S THE, IT'S THE WORDING WE USE FOR A DUPLEX IS A TWO FAMILY.
UM, I DON'T KNOW IF THE BANNER ALSO SAID TWO FAMILY PLUS LOT SPLIT.
UM, AND THAT THERE'S WHERE THE CHANGE IS BECAUSE IT'S A LOT SPLIT, OBVIOUSLY.
SO I I'M, I MEAN, BASED ON THAT, I, I DON'T FEEL, I DON'T FEEL RIGHT.
UH, NOT THAT I WOULD NECESSARILY DENY THE PROJECT BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND THE DENSITY AND I UNDERSTAND THE CHANGE IN THAT AREA AND IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA, BUT I ALSO DON'T FEEL THAT IT'S RIGHT.
UM, FOR THEM TO HAVE PROPER NOTICE TO DO THAT.
SO I, IF, IF WE HAD AN OPTION TO SOMEHOW, UM, BACK UP AND CHANGE THE BANNER AND, OR JUST GO STRAIGHT TO A COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS AND, AND HAVE A BETTER UNDER, GIVE IT, GIVE ANOTHER CHANCE TO HAVE A MEETING FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO, TO MEET THE, THE APPLICANT AND TALK MORE ABOUT THE PROJECT.
THEN, THEN I WOULD FEEL LIKE THE WORDING WASN'T SO MISUNDERSTOOD BECAUSE WE GOING TO HAVE, JUST, LIKE YOU SAID, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE MORE ITEMS LIKE THIS COME UP AS WE INFIELD PARTS OF TOWN.
AND, UH, WE NEED TO, WE NEED TO BE MINDFUL OF THAT, THAT, THAT, THAT LANGUAGE NEEDS TO BE CORRECT.
UM, WE'VE GOT TO MAKE IT WHERE WE CAN DO THESE PROJECTS.
I'M COMMITTED TO BEING ABLE TO DO THESE PROJECTS, BUT WE'VE GOT TO BE ABLE TO DO IT AND TRANSPARENCY.
AND WE'VE GOT TO BE ABLE TO DO WITH THE NEIGHBOR'S GIVEN INPUT AND UNDERSTANDING AND HAVING A VOICE.
AND, AND IF OUR LANGUAGE IS THE CONFUSING PART OF IT, BUT NEED TO CHANGE, WE NEED TO CHANGE IT.
WE NEED TO CORRECT IT TO WHERE IT'S, EVEN THOUGH EVERYONE'S DONE WHAT THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO DO, THAT'S THE PROBLEM, RIGHT? THE THING IS, IS THAT THE LANGUAGE IS FOR OUR, WHAT OUR COMMUNITY READS.
TODD, IF WE WERE TO CONTINUE THIS, UH, AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S THE NEXT MEETING OR THE MEETING AFTER THAT, WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO HAVE A COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS? WELL, I'M NOT THRILLED ABOUT SOMEBODY SAYING THAT'S THE KIND OF PERSON I AM TO DO THE BARE MINIMUM AS I WALK AWAY FROM THE PODIUM.
I'LL JUST TELL YOU THAT ON THE SITE, YOU KNOW, EVERYONE'S SUPPOSED TO DIRECT ALL THEIR ACCOUNTS, YOU'RE DIRECTING THEM TO JOSH'S QUESTION.
AND SO THE QUESTION, I GUESS I WOULD SAY IS IF IT WAS YOUR PROPERTY AND YOU FOLLOWED EVERY SINGLE RULE AND YOU WENT THROUGH THE PROCESS AND SPENT THE MONEY AND THE TIME, AND THAT IS THE DUE PROCESS THAT WE ENJOY AS CITIZENS, AND YOU GOT HERE AND THERE WERE 49 NOTICES SENT OUT, BY THE WAY.
SO 49 PEOPLE RECEIVED WRITTEN NOTICE.
AND APPARENTLY FOR THE FIRST TIME THAT I'VE EVER DONE THIS, AND WE'VE HAD A LOT OF DUPLEX ZONING IN EDMOND, AND IT'S THE EXACT SAME LANGUAGE.
THE CONFUSION WAS SO DRAMATIC, NO ONE EVEN BOTHERED TO CALL ME, TO ASK WHAT IT WAS.
UH, SO YEAH, SO I LOOK LIKE BY SAYING NO, SO YEAH, WE'LL CONTINUE IT FOR TWO WEEKS OR FOUR WEEKS.
I CAN UNDERSTAND WHERE IT WOULD BE COMPETE.
CONFUSING SAYING TO FAMILY, LIKE WHEN, WHEN IT'S FOUR.
SO, SO IF I WERE HERE AND I'M NOT SAYING YOU DID IT WRONG, THIS IS IT'S, IT'S, IT'S A CONUNDRUM, THAT'S ON US, BUT IT IS.
WE'LL WAIT TWO WEEKS OR FOUR WEEKS, WHATEVER THE PLEASURE OF THE COUNCIL IS, WHAT YOU, WHATEVER WOULD MAKE.
I MEAN, YOU TELL ME FOUR WEEKS IS FINE.
I MEAN, TWO WEEKS OR FOUR WEEKS, ISN'T GONNA MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE.
AS FAR AS THE
WE, WE, WE WANT A DELAY FOR SOMETHING, BUT WHAT, WHAT WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IN THIS BRANDY, I WOULD SAY COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS AND GIVE IT A CHANCE, GIVE IT A CHANCE.
IT'S GOING TO BE A COMMUNITY CONNECTION MEETING.
IT WOULD PROBABLY HAVE TO BE THE FOUR WEEKS, SORRY, BUT, UH, IN ORDER TO GET IT ON THE SCHEDULE AND GET THE LETTER SENT OUT AND DO ALL THAT KIND OF NOTICE FOR IT, IT WOULD PROBABLY TAKE FOUR WEEKS.
[01:40:04]
SO I JUST REMIND US AS WE GO DO THAT, AND WE WILL, THEY HAVEN'T PLANNED 2018, HAD THIS IDENTIFIED AS THE GREEN USE, RIGHT? TODD, AGAIN, I'M NOT ARGUING.I WANT TO COME BACK AND FOUR WEEKS, I WANT US ALL BE MINDFUL BECAUSE THE COMMENTS AT THE COMMUNITY CONNECTION IS GOING TO BE THIS.
AND WE'RE LIKE, NO, WE'RE GOING TO SAY IT FOUR.
AND THEN WE COME BACK HERE, IF THAT HAPPENS.
AND SO THEN WE HAVE OUR APPLICATION AGAIN, THAT IS FULLY COMPLIANT AND CONSISTENT WITH EVELYN PLAN.
AND WE WILL DO THE COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS AND TOM FRENCH WILL BE THERE.
AND AS YOU KNOW, HE'S A WONDERFUL MAN AND INVEST IN PROPERTY ALL OVER EDMOND TO HAVE THAT DIALOGUE.
AND AGAIN, NOT, NOT DEBATING THE PROJECT AT ALL, DEBATING THE WORDING ON THE SIGN THAT WE, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE'RE DOING THAT RIGHT.
SO IT DOESN'T LOOK CONFUSING AND YOU, YOU GUYS DIDN'T ANYTHING WRONG AND YOU'RE THE ONES THAT ARE TAKING THAT TO HAPPEN TO CONTINUE.
AND, AND I DON'T LIKE THAT AT ALL, BUT ALSO IF WE, IF WE APPROVE IT, WE'RE ALSO SAYING THERE WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS OBVIOUSLY CONFUSING AND WE'RE JUST MOVING PAST THAT.
AND I CAN'T DO THAT RIGHT NOW.
AND YOU CAN BE PART OF, PART OF THE SOLUTION.
WE WILL BE PART OF THE SOLUTION.
I THINK THE THING THAT'S FRUSTRATING IS WHAT COULD WE HAVE DONE HERE TO KNOCK, TO GET OUR DEAL APPROVED? AND THE ANSWER IS PROBABLY REALLY NOTHING TONIGHT.
COULD WE DIDN'T HAVE TO ME, THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.
SO THAT'S, I DON'T WANT IT, BUT I DON'T WANT TO DENY IT.
I DON'T WANT TO, I DON'T WANT TO DENY IT EITHER, BUT I DON'T WANT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH IT BEING CONFUSING.
I WANT TO GIVE IT A CHANCE TO, AND WE DIDN'T KNOW.
WE DIDN'T KNOW UNTIL THEY CAME TO THE PODIUM, THAT IT WAS AN ISSUE.
AND WE COULDN'T HAVE KNOWN THAT WE'LL GET WITH JAN AND GET A COMMUNITY CONNECTION SET.
AND MR. FRENCH WILL BE THERE AND WE'LL COME BACK.
AND WHEN IT'S, WHEN IT WORKS WITH THE COMMUNITY CONNECTION SCHEDULE.
CAUSE I MEAN, I KNOW THAT IF YOU'RE TOUGH TO SCHEDULE, WE CAN DO IT ON SEPTEMBER 12TH.
THAT'D BE NOT THE NEXT MEETING, BUT THE MEETING AFTER THAT, IF WE CAN GET THAT SCHEDULED.
YES MA'AM IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SAY SOMETHING, PLEASE.
MY NAME IS RYAN DEGOLYER, BUT BECAUSE I'M NOT A BUILDER, I'M NOT A CONTRACTOR.
I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ANYTHING, BUT IF HE'S ASKING FOR 400 MORE SQUARE FEET FROM D TO GO FROM A SINGLE FAMILY TO A TWO FAMILY, WHAT'S, WHAT'S THE, WHAT'S THE NUMBER FOR A FOUR PERSON FAMILY.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? LIKE, I, I DON'T UNDERSTAND, LIKE HE, HE'S WANTING 400, LIKE IN THE RULE HE NEEDS FOUR, 14,000 SQUARE FEET FOR IT TO BE A TWO FAMILY.
SO YOU, YOU YOU'RE ALLOWED BY LAW TO PUT FOUR PEOPLE IN THAT SMALL OF A LOT.
I LITERALLY JUST ASK HIM, I'M NOT LIKE ACCUSING HIM OF HIS ASKING, RIGHT.
IN ORDER TO DO TWO DUPLEXES, YOU WOULD HAVE TO HAVE 14,000 SQUARE FEET THAT WAS GETTING SUPER CONFUSED.
SO COUNCIL, WE MADE THIS, UM, THE RECOMMENDATION AND APPLICANT HAS AGREED TO GO TO SEPTEMBER 12TH, SEPTEMBER 12TH.
SO IF WE CAN HAVE A MOTION TO MOVE THIS APPLICATION TO SEPTEMBER 12TH, SECOND, MOST SECOND, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE.
IF I CAN MAKE A COMMENT IS WE WON'T BE ABLE TO HAVE ALL THE FIXES INTERNALLY TO OUR ZONING CODE, LANGUAGE SYMPHONIES, BUT COMING OUT OF THIS, WE'LL LOOK, TAKE A DEEPER DIVE INTO LANGUAGE.
WE HAVE NOT JUST ON THIS ITEM AND OTHER ITEMS TO MAKE IT CLEAR.
WE ALL PROBABLY ALSO LOOK AT WHAT OUR SIGNAGE REQUIREMENTS ARE.
UM, YOU KNOW, MY 25 YEARS I'VE SEEN SIGNS WHERE IT'S JUST AS LEGALEES ON WHAT ACTUALLY IS REQUIRED BY LAW.
AND THEN THERE'S OTHERS THAT SAY, HERE'S A SITE PLAN.
OR IF YOU WANT TO GO TO THIS LINK, HERE'S A LINK TO GO TO IT.
SO WE MAY LOOK AT THOSE THINGS, HOW DO WE DO A BETTER PROCESS TO GET A FULLER PICTURE OUT TO THE COMMUNITY WHEN THEY SEE A SIGN OR RECEIVE A NOTICE? SO WE AVOID WHAT HAPPENED TONIGHT.
WE DON'T WANT IT TO BE THAT WAY.

CITIZENS COMMENT.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 PM 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 OR LIMITED TO THREE MINUTES OR LESS.
SIR, WHAT THE PROCESS IS IS I HAVE A LIST HERE AND I CALL THE PERSONNEL.
I'M THE TIMER SO I CAN GET THIS SHORT.
I USED TO BE FIVE MINUTES YESTERDAY.
SAM KEARNEY, 35 0 5 MIDDLE LANE.
I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK AND THANK ALL FIVE OF YOU FOR SERVING IN OUR CITY.
I WANT TO SPEAK ABOUT THE VOTE, UH, THAT THE CITIZENS MADE TO BUY THE HAY FOR PARKLAND AND THE 81% LANDSLIDE APPROVAL TO RAISE OUR TAXES, TO BUY THAT LAND.
THAT WAS A HECK OF A STATEMENT BY OUR CITIZENS.
AND I'M SURE ALL FIVE OF YOU EVER REFLECTED ON THIS AS I HAVE.
I CAN'T ASK YOU YOUR OPINION AS I ONLY HAVE THREE MINUTES, BUT TO ME IT WAS AN ANTI VOTE.
OUR FELLOW CITIZENS VOTED AGAINST DEVELOPMENT.
THE VOTE WAS ANTI RETAIL, ANTI APARTMENTS, ANTI HOUSE.
WE'VE VOTED TO PAY MORE TAXES.
WE DON'T NEED OR WANT TO PROMOTE GROWTH AS WE NEED TO REGULATE IT AND MANAGE GROWTH WITH THE PROPER PLANNING ZONE VISION, JUST LIKE TONIGHT WITH THE PEOPLE, WITH THE DUPLEX AND FOR THE 49 SQUARE MILES OF MR. MORRIS AWARD, AS A POSSIBLE FUTURE OF RETAIL, STRIP MALLS, CAR WASHES AND GAS STATIONS RECENTLY ON THE TV NEWS THAT SAID, EDMOND MAY GROW BY 40,000 PEOPLE IN THE NEXT 30 YEARS.
DO WE REALLY WANT THAT? IF YOU WOULD PUT THAT TO A VOTE OF THE PEOPLE, WOULD IT ALSO BE AN 81% LANDSLIDE VOTE FOR OR AGAINST? I THINK IT WOULD BE DEFINITELY AGAINST.
WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT OUR GROWTH PLANS FOR THE CITY GROWTH MUST BE PLANNED AND REGULATED AND MANAGEABLE, MANAGED FOR A DESIRABLE, ATTRACTIVE URBAN ENVIRONMENT.
WE COULD BE AT A CRUCIAL TIME FOR OUR QUALITY OF LIFE, THE PAST ELECTED LEADERS, LIKE YOU FIVE HAD THE POWER TO MAKE DECISIONS AND HAVE GIVEN US THE PRESENT DAY ED, THE FUTURE QUALITY OF LIFE AND ADMIN DEPENDS ON YOUR DECISIONS.
I URGE YOU TO CAREFULLY THINK ABOUT YOUR LEADERSHIP LEGACY AND WHAT KIND OF SOCIAL URBAN SETTING IS BEST FOR OUR CITIZENS TODAY.
AND FAMILIES OF CITIZENS IN THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT CAN BE GOOD AND PRODUCTIVE, BUT IT CAN ALSO BE BAD AND DESTRUCTIVE FOR OUR CITIZENS.
GIVE CHANCE FOR CITIZENS TO SPEAK NEXT CITIZEN OR RESIDENT LEONARD.
[01:55:15]
I HAVE JUST HANDED OUT A PUBLIC SERVANTS.I HAVE JUST HANDED OUT THE DOCUMENTS TO THE ELECTED OFFICIALS AND UNELECTED OFFICIALS.
THESE, THOSE DOCUMENTS ARE WE THE PEOPLE'S REASONS FOR RECALL OF ALL ELECTED COUNCIL MEMBERS FOR JUST CAUSE WE'D FOR PEOPLE PRESENTED THIS COUNCIL, UH, ON TWO MEETINGS AGO WITH OUR POSITION PAPER, WHICH GAVE THIS CONCH COUNCIL AN OPPORTUNITY TO PLACE ALL THE AGENDA ITEMS THAT YOU DID NOT PLACE ON, BE PUT BACK ON THE, FOR DEBATE.
YOU IGNORED US JUST THAT YOU HAVE FOR 18 MONTHS AND YOU PUT NONE OF THE ITEMS ON THE AGENDA WITHOUT REASON OR WITHOUT JUSTIFICATION.
IT ONLY TAKES ONE COUNCIL MEMBER TO ASK TO PUT THE ISSUE ON THE AGENDA.
NOT ONE, UH, ANY OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS DID.
SO MEANING YOU IGNORE THE CITIZENS THAT YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT.
I REMIND THIS COUNCIL WITH ALL STARTED ON 1111, JANUARY 21.
SO ATTORNEY TURNED, I KNOW THAT, WELL, I STOOD AT THIS PODIUM AND INFORMED THE COUNCIL THAT CHARTER 11 OR CHARTER ARTICLE 11 WAS OUTDATED AND WRITTEN IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE REQUIREMENTS WERE IMPOSSIBLE OR IT'S TOO ONEROUS TO RETRIEVE CHEAP.
THIS MEANT THAT ARTICLE 11 DENIED CITIZEN RIGHTS.
WELL, NOW WE'RE HERE 2022 AND SAME THING'S HAPPENING.
THESE DOCUMENTS ARE THE REASONS TO RECALL IN A CONCISE AND FACTUAL MATTER, WHAT IS NOT THE DOCUMENT.
AND I ASKED HIM, UH, MS. SEND IT TO MAKE SURE THIS IS WRITTEN DOWN HERE, IS THAT IN THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING, WE OFFER EACH ELECTED OFFICIAL THE OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS THE SEVEN ISSUES THAT ARE IN THOSE DOCUMENTS.
YOU WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT ARGUMENTS IN YOUR IN-PERSON AND VERBALLY ADDRESS.
THE SEVEN MAJOR ISSUES TO ALL OF US WRITTEN ARGUMENTS CAN BE PRESENTED AFTER YOU PRESENT YOUR VERBAL ARGUMENTS.
IT IS UP TO THE COUNCIL IN WHICH VENUE THOSE ARGUMENTS COULD BE PRESENTED.
UH, PLEASE KNOW, WE WILL NOT ACCEPT THE CITY ATTORNEY TO SPEAK FOR YOU.
YOU REPRESENT US, YOU OWE US AN EXPLANATION, NOT AN UNELECTED OFFICIAL.
WE PEOPLE ARE OFFERING YOU THIS OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS THE PUBLIC IN YOUR OWN WORDS WHILE YOU WOULD NOT PLACE OUR ISSUES ON THE AGENDA, STATED IN OUR PAPER, SPEAK TO US OR NORRIS IT'S HER CHOICE.
SHARON FERNANDEZ, THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK.
UM, I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S NOT MY CHOICE THAT I HAVE TO COME AND SPEAK AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN, IT'S ONLY BECAUSE THE THINGS THAT I ASKED FOR ARE NOT DEALT WITH.
AND, UM, SO I WILL COME AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN, YOU KNOW, IT, I'M NOT GOING TO GIVE UP NOW THEN, UH, THE ONE THING THAT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT IS, UH, WHEN THE, UH, I'M NERVOUS, I'M SORRY, WHEN THE COVID OUTBREAK CAME THE COUNCIL WITHOUT ANY AUTHORITY CLOSED, OUR CHURCHES LEFT OPEN LIQUOR STORES, CLOSED BUSINESSES, GOVERNMENT OFFICES, AND MANDATED MASKS FOR ALL, INCLUDING CHILDREN WHO WERE THE LEAST, THE LEAST I GOING TO GET THAT DISEASE.
UM, IT CAUSED GREAT ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL HARM TO OUR COMMUNITY.
CITIZENS ASKED COUNCIL TO PLACE AN ITEM ON THE AGENDA TO FORM A COMMISSION OR COMMITTEE TO INVESTIGATE USING AN AFTER-ACTION REVIEW OF THE COUNCIL'S POLICY, WHERE, UH, UH, WHERE GOVERNMENT DIRECTIVES CAME FROM, THAT WERE IMPOSED ON THE CITIZENS AND, UH, UH, WHERE THE COUNCIL HAD THE DECISION-MAKING PROCESS USED.
[02:00:01]
AND THE WHAT WAS THE COMMUNITY, THE COUNCILS, I'M SORRY, I'M JUST NERVOUS.AND THE COUNCIL USED, UH, THE DECISION MAKING PROCESS TO RIDE ARRIVE AT THESE DECISIONS.
WE WANT TO ENSURE THE CITIZENS THAT THE ACTIONS AND BEHAVIOR WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN TO OUR RESIDENTS.
THIS COUNCIL RIPLEY HAS REFUSED TO PLACE ON THE AGENDA.
WELL, WITHOUT ANY REASON OR JUSTIFICATION, WHY THIS COUNCIL REFUSES TO DO IT.
I, YOU KNOW, YOU MIGHT FIND OUT THAT YOU WERE THE GREATEST THING SINCE SLICED BREAD.
WE DON'T KNOW YOU WON'T INVESTIGATE.
YOU JUST ASSUME, UH, TO ME, YOU ASSUME THAT IT'S GOING TO BRING BAD, BUT IT COULD BRING ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL THINGS TO YOUR ATTENTION.
SO, UH, I FIND IT, I FIND ALL THIS A VERY LEGITIMATE REASON FOR RECALL OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS, UM, BECAUSE YOU JUST SIT THERE AND IT'S REALLY HARD TO HAVE A CITY COUNCIL THAT JUST SITS THERE AND IGNORES US.
I NEED YOU TO UNDERSTAND THAT AND I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
MA'AM NEXT RESIDENT IS RYAN D GHALIA.
HOW DO YOU PRONOUNCE IT? D GOLIA.
IS JOSH COMING BACK OR KNOW? JUST, JUST CURIOUS.
UM, I'M JUST GONNA START BY SAYING, AND IT'S GOING TO BE INSULTING, BUT I'M NOT TRYING TO BE, UH, Y'ALL KIND OF REMIND ME OF AN ABUSIVE HUSBAND.
LIKE YOU, DON'T ON YOUR LIFE, YOU BY HER, BY HER GIFTS, TREAT HER REALLY WELL IN PUBLIC, BUT YOU'LL BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF HER, IN THE HOUSE AT HOME, WITHOUT ANYBODY SAYING IT, BECAUSE ANYTIME, YOU KNOW, WE'RE COMING, IT SEEMS LIKE YOU ALWAYS PARADE ALL THESE MAGICAL PEOPLE THAT SAY, OH, YOU GUYS ARE SO GOOD.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING ALL THESE WONDERFUL THINGS YET.
YOU DON'T HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH US.
YOU KNOW, WHAT KILLS RELATIONSHIPS, LACK OF COMMUNICATION.
Y'ALL DON'T ANSWER GOTTA BE A GIVE AND TAKE CARE.
DURING PAST COUNCIL, MAKE MEETINGS, CITIZENS HAVE REPEATEDLY REQUESTED THE COUNCIL, EXPLAIN THEMSELVES ON ADOPTING A RADICAL PROGRESSIVE WOKE AGENDA AND IDEOLOGICAL IDEOLOGUES, INCLUDING IMPLEMENTING THEIR WOKE PROGRESSIVE LANGUAGE IN CITY DOCUMENTS, CORRESPONDENCE, SPEECHES, AND EVEN IN EDMUND BROCHURES AND PUBLIC LITERATURE.
I UNDERSTAND THAT THE IMPLEMENTATION AND PRACTICE OF THESE POLICIES ARE A DIRECT RESULT OF RECOMMENDATIONS BY THE PRIOR CITY MANAGER AND HIS HR OFFICE.
AND I UNDERSTAND THAT THE DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION COMMITTEE AND THE DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION COMMISSION WERE PERHAPS PUT INTO PLACE BASED ON THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS, BUT ALL OF THIS WAS DONE WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE OR THE CONSENT OF THE PEOPLE OF EDMOND.
THE NEWLY HIRED CITY MANAGER IS ADVOCATING FOR THESE COMMITTEES AND COMMISSIONS.
HE'S AN ADVOCATE FOR PROGRESSIVE IDEOLOGY AND CAN NOT BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR HIS ACTIONS.
HE IS AN UNELECTED OFFICIAL WHO ACTUALLY RUNS THIS CITY.
HE'S PAID 200 AND TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR PLUS FULL BENEFITS.
AND YOU CAN'T BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.
ARE YOU KIDDING? OUR GOVERNOR, THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF OUR STATE IS PAID LESS THAN 150,000.
SO YOU MAKE MORE THAN A HUNDRED GRAND THAN OUR GOVERNOR.
WHY ARE WE PAYING THE CITY MANAGER MORE THAN OUR GOVERNOR? I ASKED HIS COUNCIL, WHY, WHY HAVE WE TURNED OUR CITY? WHOA, WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE AND CONSENT OF US, THE CITIZENS, I STAND HERE BEFORE YOU AS A TRUE REPRESENTATION OF WHAT THE CITIZENS WANT AND WHAT WE WERE DEMANDING ANSWERS FROM THE CITY GOVERNMENT.
THESE NEGATIVE DIVISIVE ACTIONS ARE A REASON FOR THE RECALL OF ALL OF THE ELECTED OFFICIALS.
WE, WE, THE CITIZENS, THE TAXPAYERS, THE ONE THAT PAYS Y'ALL SALARIES, WE'RE DONE.
WE REQUEST AN INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION OF YOU BECAUSE WHY DO YOU HAVE ALL THIS POWER OVER THE COUNCIL AND ALL THIS NEGATIVE.
WHAT YOU GUYS ARE DOING TO THE CITY OF EDMOND IS DISGUSTING.
MA'AM CONNIE SCOTT, CONNIE SCOTT, FOR THE PAST 19 MINUTES, I HAVE LIVED BREATHED AND EATEN CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS.
SO I'M ONLY HERE TO SAY ONE THING.
ONE TIME WE HAVE ASKED YOU THIS COUNCIL MEMBERS TO HOLD AN UP WOULD HAVE
[02:05:01]
OPEN TOWN HALL TO EXPLAIN WHY YOU'RE PUSHING A RADICAL, PROGRESSIVE AGENDA.I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU MEMBERS IGNORED OUR REQUEST AND DIDN'T EVEN GIVE US A REASON WHY NOT.
ONE OF YOU AGREED TO ATTEND THE OPEN HALL, OPEN TOWN MEETING, EVEN THOUGH YOU WORK FOR US AS OUR REPRESENTATIVES, THIS CAUSED QUITE A RUCKUS IN MY HOUSE AND AROUND THE TOWN.
AND SO THE CITIZENS WENT BACK AND DEMANDED ALL OF YOU TO COME TO A TOWN HALL AND EXPLAIN YOURSELF.
I WAS SHOCKED TO LEARN THAT YOU IGNORED US AGAIN.
SOMETHING IS WRONG WHEN YOU WON'T TELL US WHAT YOU'RE DOING WITHOUT TELLING US WHY TO ME AND MANY OTHER MEMBERS LIKE THIS.
THIS IS DEFINITE GROUNDS FOR RECALLING ALL OF YOU.
NEXT RESIDENT, JOY WALLACE COUNCIL.
THERE HAS BEEN REQUESTS FOR QUITE SOME TIME CONCERNING AN AMENDMENT TO THE AGENDA.
THE PROCESS OF PLACING AN ISSUE ON THE AGENDA DOES NOT ACCOMMODATE THE CITIZENS OF THIS CITY.
THERE IS NO REPRESENTATION BY OUR COUNCIL MEMBERS.
OUR REQUESTS FOR FEEDBACK IS ANSWERED EITHER NEGATIVELY OR THE ISSUE IS PASSED ALONG TO ANOTHER SOURCE.
MY REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION ON THE STATE OF SROI FOR OUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS GOES UNANSWERED.
NO INFORMATION ON THIS COMES FROM CITY COUNCIL OR FOR EDMOND FROM EDMOND PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
WE WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO HAVE A CONVERSATION LIKE THE ONE I JUST HEARD ABOUT THE COUPLE THAT LIVED ON THATCHER.
IF WE COULD HAVE THAT DISCUSSION HERE AND FIND OUT WHAT THE PLAN IS, WHAT'S GOING ON.
OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS HAVE NOT BEEN ACCOUNTABLE TO THE CITIZENS WHO ELECTED THEM.
NOT ONE COUNCIL MEMBER AS HAS BEEN MENTIONED, HAS VOTED TO PLACE A REQUESTED ITEM ON THE AGENDA.
THIS IS NOT GOVERNMENT BY THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE.
I DON'T KNOW WHETHER THE PEOPLE OF THIS COMMUNITY CARE, HOW THEIR GOVERNMENT BUSINESS OPERATES, BUT I CARE.
THE INDIVIDUALS ELECTED HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO CITIZENS WHO HAVE CONCERNS.
WE LIVE, WE HAVE LEGITIMATE CONCERNS.
HOWEVER, THIS COUNCIL HAS TAKEN THE STANCE TO BE IN COMPLETE CONTROL OF HOW THE PEOPLE ARE GOVERNED, GOVERNED.
RESIDENCE TREE LOPES, PRESENT.
UH, NEXT RESIDENT, MICHELLE LEAK.
IT'S NOT THAT LONG B UM, MY DEAL IS TO CANCEL COUNCIL CITY COUNCIL HERE, UH, RECENTLY CHANGED THE CITIZENS COMMENTS FROM FIVE MINUTES TO THREE MINUTES.
WHY DIDN'T EVEN EXPLAIN WHY, AND WE'RE ALL CURIOUS ABOUT THAT, BUT, UM, YOU VOTED ON IT.
YOU ALL VOTED WITHOUT EVEN YOU IGNORED THAT THE CITIZENS WANTED THEIR FIVE MINUTES AND I WANTED TO, WELL, THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT WOULD LIKE THEIR TWO MINUTES BACK.
SO I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT TO DO OR WHERE TO GO FROM HERE, BUT I'M SPEAKING FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE.
AND SO, I MEAN, YOU'RE HERE TO WORK FOR US AND HEAR US.
AND I KNOW THAT Y'ALL LOOKED ALL THRILLED SITTING HERE, BUT I MEAN, WHAT CAN WE DO REALLY SEPARATING THE REST OF THIS? WHAT, WHAT CAN I DO OVER? WE DO TO WHERE WE CAN GET THOSE MINUTES BACK.
I'M NOT TRYING TO BE, I MEAN, DO I NEED TO WRITE A LETTER TO SOMEBODY? DO I NEED TO SOMEBODY ANSWER ME? I LOOK STUPID STAYING HERE.
I JUST WANTED TO KNOW WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS OR WHAT CAN I DO? I DON'T GET AN ANSWER TWO EMAILS AND HAVE MEETINGS AND CALL PEOPLE.
BUT WE'VE EXPLAINED REPEATEDLY OVER THE LAST 19 MONTHS THAT WE CAN'T SPEAK TO ITEMS, NOT ON THE AGENDA, WHICH IS CITIZENS COMMENTS.
IT SAYS THAT I AM ON THE AGENDA.
SO YOU MIGHT WANT TO TRY ANOTHER.
IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A DIALOGUE,
[02:10:01]
YOU MIGHT TRY ANOTHER MEANS OF COMMUNICATION THAT WORKS CITIZENS.THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME HERE OR ALLOWING ME TO BE HERE IN THE PAST THREE COUNCIL MEETINGS, THE MAYOR HAS DENIED CITIZENS FROM SPEAKING DURING THE NEW NEW BUSINESS.
YET THE COUNCIL AGENDA ON PAGE TWO UNDER HEADING ADDRESSING COUNCIL MAKES IT CLEAR THAT CITIZENS ARE ENCOURAGED TO SPEAK DURING NEW BUSINESS.
IN THE LAST THREE COUNCIL MEETING THE MAYOR, ARBITRARILY DENIED CITIZENS, THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK.
WHY ACTUALLY WE KNOW WHY THE MAYOR AND THE UNELECTED CITY MANAGER WANTS TO STOP ALL QUESTIONS AND DISSENT FROM CITIZENS.
THEY HAVE SHUT DOWN CITIZENS FROM PLACING ISSUES ON THE AGENDA.
THEY HAVE REDUCED TIME TO SPEAK DURING THE CITIZENS COMMENTS AND DON'T RESPOND TO ANY CITIZENS, CONCERNS OR GRIEVANCES.
NOW THEY HAVE SHUT DOWN CITIZENS FROM SPEAKING DURING NEW BUSINESS.
SHUT DOWN ALL DISSENT FROM CITIZENS.
I FIND THEIR ACTIONS AND TRUE PURPOSE.
REPUGNANT WOKE MAYOR AND WOKE CITY MANAGER CONSPIRING AGAINST CITIZENS.
THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT.
PLUS THE ELECTED COUNCIL MEMBERS ALLOWING IT.
I FIND THIS REASON FOR A RECALL OF ALL ELECTED COUNCIL OFFICIALS AND AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE UNELECTED OVERPAID CITY MANAGER'S ATTACK ON OUR CITIZENS RIGHTS.
IT IS CLEAR THAT THE WOKE REGINA REGGIE IS NOT REPRESENTING THE CITIZENS OF THE COMMUNITY, BUT RATHER TO CONSPIRE FOR THEIR COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE EDMUND GOVERNMENT.
HAVING HEARD THE OTHER SPEAKERS, EVERY CITIZEN SHOULD BE ENRAGED BY THIS COUNCIL, CITY, CITY MANAGER AND CITY ATTORNEY, ATTORNEY.
SARNEY BEING INVOLVED IN A CABAL TO TAKE OVER CONTROL OF THE GOVERNMENT ALL BECAUSE THEY WANT TO ENSURE THE WOKE AGENDA CONTINUES.
I LOOK AT YOU AND SAY SHAME ON ALL OF YOU.
MA'AM MAKE SURE RESIDENT CONNIE FARE GOOD EVENING.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO THE PEOPLE ELECTED AND UNELECTED OFFICIALS.
I'D LIKE TO ADDRESS THE OUTBURSTS THAT, UM, A FEW, FEW WEEKS AGO, WE WERE SUBJECTED TO BY COUNCIL MUG'S SPOUSE RECENTLY, BECAUSE IT'S STILL IS STILL PENDING AS STILL HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED.
THAT'S WHY I'M HERE TO SPEAK ABOUT IT.
WE CITIZENS, WHEN WE COME, WE HAVE AN EXPECTATION OF CIVILITY AND RESPECT TO BE DISPLAYED BY OUR CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS AND EXPECTATION OF WHEN WE ARE VISITING HERE IN THE CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS AT A PUBLIC MEETING TO ENGAGE WITH YOU GUYS.
WHAT WE DON'T EXPECT IS TO BE SUBJECTED TO A COUNCIL MEMBERS, SPOUSES BERATEMENT HARASSMENT AND BLATANT INTIMIDATION RIGHT HERE INSIDE THE CHAMBERS.
MS. MUG, I BELIEVE YOU SHOULD JUST, YOU SHOULD HAVE JUST RESIGNED.
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE JUST SITTING UP THERE.
LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED THAT THAT WAS A TOTAL EMBARRASSMENT.
THAT WAS A TOTAL EMBARRASSMENT AND ALL THE REST OF YOU GUYS.
IT SEEMS YOU'RE JUST COMPLICIT IN THIS BEHAVIOR BECAUSE YOU'RE SITTING THERE AND NOTHING HAS HAPPENED.
I SEE THAT YOU HAVE ENSURED THAT, YOU KNOW, HE'S NOT DOING THIS TO US ANYMORE, BUT THAT RESPONSE IS INSUFFICIENT.
YOU SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN BETTER CONTROL OVER YOUR COUNCIL AND YOU SHOULD BE PRESIDING OVER THESE MEETINGS IN A MANNER THAT IS SAFE FOR EVERYBODY, NOT JUST YOU GUYS UP THERE, YOUR RESPONSES ATTACK ON WE, THE PEOPLE DISPLACED A TWO TIER JUSTICE SYSTEM BEING OPERATED BY OUR EDMOND CITY, GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS.
AND DARE I SAY, EVEN A BLATANT DISPLAY OF FAVORITISM BASED ON A HIERARCHY,
[02:15:01]
MR. RIGBY, WE HAVE COMMUNICATED BACK AND FORTH WITH YOU AND MEMBERS OF THE POLICE STATION IN AN ATTEMPT TO RESOLVE THIS MATTER.AS I SAID EARLIER, IT IS YET TO BE RESOLVED AS THE HEAD OF THIS CITY WITH A POWER TO HIRE AND FIRE ADMIN PERSONNEL.
I IMPLORE YOU TO HAVE THE CONVERSATION WITH YOUR POLICE, CHIEF AND DEMAND THAT HE WRITE THE WRONG, WHICH HAS BEEN PERPETRATED AGAINST MYSELF AND THE OTHERS THAT SUFFERED THIS ATTACK.
WE WILL NOT ALLOW THIS MATTER TO BE SWEPT UNDER THE RUG.
THE SOONER YOU GUYS WILL BE FREE FROM OUR PRODDING FOR RESOLUTION, WE, THE PEOPLE WILL NOT BE SILENT WHEN IT COMES TO ADDRESSING UNFAIR TYRANNICAL GOVERNMENT ACTIONS BEING PERPETRATED UPON AS CITIZENRY, WHICH YOU HAVE A SWORN OATH TO REPRESENT.
MA'AM NEXT ORDER OF BUSINESS IS, UH, COUNCIL COUNTS COMMENTS FROM MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL.
WE HAVE MANY COMMENTS FOR THE DAY MAKES ORDER IS A GERMAN MOTION TO THE GR MOTION.
SECOND AND SECOND CATCH WROTE JUST MEANS JOURNAL.
