WE PULLED THAT ONE FROM LAST COUNCIL MEETING FOR DISCUSSION.

COUNCILWOMAN.

WHAT? THANK YOU, MAYOR.

UM, WHAT I'M GOING TO PROPOSE TODAY IS THAT WE DO NOT MEET ON JULY 22ND, 2024.

UM, BUT ALL THE REST OF THE MEETINGS WE MEET, UM, IN CONSULTATION WITH THE CITY MANAGER, THINKING THROUGH BENEFITS, UM, AND ADVANTAGES OF HAVING A ONE MEETING BREAK IN THE SUMMER.

I THINK IT WOULD BE HEALTHY FOR THE COUNCIL, HEALTHY FOR STAFF.

UM, WE DO SLOW DOWN A BIT IN THE SUMMER AND SO MATTERS THAT WOULD BE ON EITHER, UH, ON THAT, OTHERWISE WOULD'VE BEEN ON THE 22ND OF JULY.

CERTAINLY CAN BE ON THE JULY 8TH OR AUGUST 12TH AGENDA.

UM, GIVES COUNCIL MEMBERS AN OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE A VACATION WITHOUT MISSING A MEETING, UM, OR JUST HAVE A BREAK.

THESE MEETINGS TEND TO BE, UM, A LITTLE BIT DRAINING, BOTH PREPARATION AND DURING AND AFTER.

I JUST THINK IT WOULD BE A HEALTHY RECOMMENDED THING TO DO.

CITIES, UM, UH, THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY AND DIFFERENT LOCALES WILL TAKE A BREAK IN THE SUMMER.

WE TAKE ONE IN THE, OVER THE HOLIDAY IN DECEMBER, AND IF THERE IS ANYTHING WE NEEDED TO DO, WE COULD CALL A SPECIAL MEETING FOR THAT PARTICULAR ITEM.

SO I DIDN'T KNOW IF OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS OR THE MAYOR HAD ANY OTHER, ANY OTHER COMMENTS ON NOT MEETING ON JULY 22ND, 2024? UH, COUNCIL.

, DID WE WANNA VOTE ON THAT? MAYOR, OR GO TO THE NEXT THING? PARDON ME? DID YOU WANNA VOTE ON THIS OR GO TO THE NEXT ITEM? UM, AND IF YOU ALL DON'T HAVE ANY DISCUSSION, I'M HAPPY TO MAKE A MOTION.

NO, I WAS GONNA PULL THIS SINCE WE PULLED IT.

I WAS GONNA GO AHEAD AND VOTE ON THIS ONE SEPARATE.

THEN WE, THEN WE GO THEN, UM, NO, I DON'T HAVE ANY DI UH, OTHER DISCUSSION ON IT.

I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA AS WRITTEN, EXCEPT, UH, DELETE THE JULY 22ND, 2024 MEETING.

UM, JUST WANTED TO KIND OF KEEP YOU UP TO DATE ON WHAT'S HAPPENED SINCE THIS MASTER PLAN DRAFT WAS PRESENTED TO YOU LAST JULY 24TH.

UM, SINCE THE 24TH.

AND THEY'LL BE IN-HOUSE REPAIR OF SOME OF THE COURTESY DOCKS OVER, OVER THIS WINTER.

AND THEN FINALLY, UM, AN ITEM THAT WAS APPROVED A WHILE AGO THAT FOR, FOR TRASH REMOVAL IMPROVEMENTS IN THAT PROCESS SHOULD BE READY TO GO, HOPEFULLY THIS, THIS WINTER, BUT DEFINITELY BY, BY NEXT SEASON.

AND I'LL ENTERTAIN ANY QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE ANY ON THIS ITEM.

IT'S GREAT TO SEE PROGRESS AND ALREADY IMPLEMENTATION OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS.

, THANKS.

WE HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO THOUGH.

DO WE WANNA GO AHEAD AND GIVE THOSE STAFF PRESENTATIONS RIGHT NOW ON YES.

ON ON, UH, THREE, FOUR AND FIVE.

WE HAVE, UM, A COUPLE ITEMS HERE.

THEY'RE ALL INDEPENDENT ITEMS, BUT THEY'RE ALL KIND OF IN THE, THE SAME LOCATION AT THE AC CAPLINGER BALLFIELD COMPLEX.

FIRST IS THE CURRENT OPERATOR WHO, UM, O OPERATES THE FIELDS AT MITCH PARK AND AC CAPLINGER.

UM, THIS IS CURRENTLY A FOUR YEAR AGREEMENT.

THEY'RE IN THEIR SECOND YEAR OF OPERATIONS.

AND, UH, WE HAVE AN OPTION TO RENEW OR NOT RENEW EACH YEAR.

UM, THE AGREEMENT RUNS ON THE CALENDAR YEAR SO THAT THEY'RE, THEY'LL FINISH UP IN DECEMBER AND THEN, AND THEN WE'RE, UH, SUGGESTING RENEWAL.

AND FOR JANUARY, WE WORK TOGETHER WITH E Y S A, UM, TO MAKE A FEW AMENDMENTS TO THE AGREEMENT WITH A GOAL OF, UM, ALLOWING FOR A MORE OBJECTIVE EVALUATION OF PERFORMANCE.

SO, JUST A COUPLE SIMPLE THINGS THAT WE, THAT WE TRIED TO ADD.

UM,

[00:10:01]

ONE IS A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION SURVEY THAT WE WOULD WORK ON TOGETHER, PUT OUT TO ALL THE USERS.

AND THEY'RE, AND THEY'RE ALREADY DOING THIS, BUT THAT WOULD GIVE US ACCESS TO THAT INFORMATION, UM, TO HELP THEM KNOW HOW THEY'RE DOING AND COMPARE THAT TO SOME OF THE COMMENTS THAT, THAT WE GET.

UM, IT CAN ALSO GIVE US, AS AN OWNER AN IDEA OF THINGS THAT WE CAN DO BETTER TOO.

UM, ALSO IN, IN JANUARY WE HAVE IT IN THE AGREEMENT THAT WE'LL WORK TOGETHER TO COME UP WITH SOME PERFORMANCE GOALS.

THOSE WILL BE PRESENTED TO THE PARKS AND REC ADVISORY BOARD.

AND THEN AFTER THE SEASON, WE'LL GET BACK TOGETHER AND SEE HOW THAT WENT.

SO J JUST HOPEFULLY AN OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE AN OBJECTIVE LOOK AT, AT HOW THINGS ARE GOING.

AND THEN OUR LEGAL DEPARTMENT MADE JUST SOME ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGES THERE IN, IN THE AGREEMENT JUST TO CHANGE DATES AND CLEAN THINGS UP.

UM, THIS WAS PRESENTED TO THE PARKS AND REC ADVISORY BOARD, AND THEY UNI UNANIMOUSLY ARE RECOMMENDED APPROVAL BACK IN JULY.

I WILL JUMP TO THE NEXT ITEM AND THEN STOP AND SEE IF YOU, YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

UM, THE NEXT ONE IS, UH, FOR MASTER PLAN SERVICES WITH HALF, UM, AND THE AMOUNT OF $62,000.

UM, THIS, THIS HAS BEEN A LONG WORKED ON PROJECT.

WE'VE DONE A LOT OF STUDIES.

WE JUST WRAPPED UP THE TUS STUDY AND WE'RE GONNA TAKE THAT INFORMATION AND WE'RE GONNA GET IT RIGHT THIS TIME.

UM, THIS AGREEMENT, UM, COVERS A SERIES OF MEETINGS THAT THEY'LL HOLD TO DEVELOP A CONCEPT TO, TO RENOVATE AND, AND IMPROVE THE BALL FIELD AT AC CAPLINGER.

UM, THERE'S A, THERE'S A WHOLE SERIES OF, OF MEETINGS LISTED THERE.

UM, PROBABLY THE BIGGEST ONE IS A STAKEHOLDER MEETING WHERE WE'LL HAVE KIND OF A FOCUS GROUP OF, OF DIFFERENT, UM, REPRESENTATIVES THAT, THAT HAVE A STAKE IN THAT PROJECT.

AND THOSE ARE SOME OF THE, THE REPRESENTATIVES THAT'LL, THAT ARE ON THAT STAKEHOLDER GROUP WITH STAFF WITH E Y S A VISIT, EDMOND PARK AND REC ADVISORY BOARD, THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS ADVISORY BOARD, AND THEN SOME CITIZEN PARTICIPANTS THAT ARE, THAT ARE USING IT.

UM, SOME OTHER ONES INCLUDE.

AND, AND THIS IS PROBABLY A LESSON LEARNED FROM THE FIRST GO ROUND.

UM, SOME EARLY MEETINGS WITH OUR ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT TO WORK OUT WATER DETENTION PRIOR TO PRODUCING A, A CONCEPT.

UM, AND, AND THEN ALSO JUST, JUST OTHER MEETINGS THAT THEY'LL HAVE TO DEVELOP TWO CONCEPTS WHEN WE RECEIVE THOSE CONCEPTS.

UM, WE'LL HAVE KIND OF A PUBLIC PROCESS, SO IT'LL BE PRESENTED AT THE PARKS AND REC ADVISORY BOARD, THE C I P ADVISORY BOARD, AND IF COUNCIL DESIRES TO, TO THE COUNCIL TO COME TO AN AGREEMENT ON A CONCEPT.

KIND OF THE TIMEFRAME WE'RE LOOKING AT FOR THIS PROCESS IS, UM, OPTIMISTICALLY TWO TO THREE MONTHS.

UM, WE PUT THE END OF 2023.

IT SOUNDS CRAZY TO SAY, BUT THE END OF THREE MONTHS PUTS US AT THANKSGIVING RIGHT NOW.

IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE RIGHT NOW, BUT, UM, WE'LL, WE'LL BE SHOOTING FOR THAT AND, AND THEN TAKE IT THROUGH THE, THE PUBLIC PROCESS.

ONCE WE HAVE A MASTER PLAN, THEN, THEN THERE'LL BE ANOTHER CONTRACT TO, FOR CONSTRUCTION DESIGN ONCE WE HAVE AN AGREED UPON CONCEPT.

WE TOOK THIS AGREEMENT TO THE PARKS AND REC ADVISORY BOARD AND THE C I P ADVISORY BOARD.

UM, BOTH BOARDS APPROVED THIS AGREEMENT UNANIMOUSLY.

WE'RE EXCITED TO MOVE FORWARD ON THIS PROJECT.

I'LL TAKE A PAUSE THERE TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY, UH, QUESTIONS OR, OR COMMENTS THAT I CAN ANSWER.

I HAVE A QUESTION.

IS THERE ANYTHING FROM THE OTHER PLAN THAT WE DID THAT CAN BE USED ON THIS PLAN? SO THIS PLAN ISN'T, DOESN'T COST AS MUCH.

I, I BELIEVE THERE ARE THINGS THAT WE CAN USE FROM THE OTHER PLAN, UM, AND HOPEFULLY YEAH.

MAKE IT NOT SUCH A LONG PERIOD OF TIME SO WE CAN GET THIS ROCKING AND ROLLING.

WE'RE, WE DEFINITELY WANNA MOVE AS FAST AS POSSIBLE.

UM, I MEAN, JUST FOR EXAMPLE, ALL THOSE MEETING GROUPS THERE THAT REQUIRES DEVELOPING LISTS AND IDENTIFYING WHO'S GONNA BE ON THERE.

WE HAVE THOSE READY TO TURN OVER AS SOON AS IT'S ASSIGNED TO, TO HALF SO THEY CAN BEGIN SETTING UP THOSE, THOSE, THOSE MEETINGS AND THE, THE NEEDS FOR THE PARK.

I KNOW WE GOT TO THE END AND THEN REALIZED WE WERE MISSING A FEW THINGS THAT WERE VERY IMPORTANT.

UM, BUT NOW WE KNOW THIS, EVERYTHING'S ON BOARD AND HOPEFULLY AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE WE CAN GET THIS GOING.

UM, IT WAS VERY SAD TO SEE IT HAVE TO BE DENIED TWO YEARS AGO AND REDONE MM-HMM.

SO I'M EXCITED TO SEE THIS HAPPEN.

THE FAST, SOONER, THE BETTER.

AND, AND THERE ARE ELEMENTS THAT'LL, THAT'LL BE USED.

SOME OF THE GEOTECHNICAL WORK.

CAN POSSIBLY BE USED A LOT OF THAT.

IT WILL DEPEND ON WHAT COMES OUT OF THIS PROCESS RIGHT HERE, WHAT CONCEPT WE AGREE UPON.

AND I UNDERSTAND WE'LL GET THE BATHROOMS AND STUFF FIXED UP.

AND YES.

THAT'S, THAT'S NEXT.

OH, OKAY.

UM, THAT'S GONNA HAPPEN.

THAT CONCESSION STAND NOW TOO, OR IS THAT WAITING? UM, CONCESSION STAND AND RESTROOM TOGETHER ARE ALL ONE, AND IT'LL BE TOGETHER.

AND THAT'LL BE THE NEXT PRESENTATION.

OH, I'M SORRY.

AND THAT'S GONNA HAPPEN THIS WINTER.

SO THINGS ARE STARTING GONNA HAPPEN ON THE GROUND RIGHT AWAY, BUT THIS IS MORE RELATED TO THE FIELDS AND THE COMPLEX ITSELF.

[00:15:02]

ALRIGHT.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS BEFORE I TURN IT ON? TURN IT OVER, BRAD, REAL QUICK.

WILL THIS MASTER PLAN PROVIDE AN ESTIMATED COST FOR EACH OF THE MASTER PLAN CONCEPTS? CORRECT.

THAT'S PART OF THE AGREEMENT.

IF THERE'S NO OTHER QUESTIONS, I'M GONNA TURN THE TIME OVER TO, TO RYAN OCHSNER.

TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE PRESENTATION ON THE RESTROOM AND CONCESSION.

READY TO START THIS FALL AS SOON AS THE LAST GAME IS PLAYED IN THE SEASON, AND TO BE READY, UM, AND COMPLETED BEFORE THE SPRING SEASON IN MARCH.

SORRY RYAN, I JUMPED THE GUN.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

I HOPING HE'S JUST GONNA GO WITH IT.

SO, UM, GOOD EVENING.

RYAN OCHSNER, DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY QUALITY AND ONE TALKED TO YOU ABOUT THIS, UM, APPROVAL TO, UM, APPROVE A CONTRACT TO REMODEL THE RESTROOMS AT AC KAPLAN.

SO I WANT TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF INFORMATION ABOUT THAT AND DESCRIBE WHAT THE PROJECT IS.

HERE'S AC KALER, UH, BASEBALL COMPLEX.

THIS IS NINTH STREET.

AND HERE'S BRYANT.

THE BUILDING WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS RIGHT HERE IN THE CENTER.

AND IT IS A COMBINATION OF A RESTROOM, UH, IN THE SOUTH PART OF THAT AND CONCESSION THERE IN THE NORTH PART OF THAT BUILDING.

AND THAT BUILDING WAS CONSTRUCTED IN 2010.

SO IT'S NOT TOO OLD.

HAS A LOT OF LIFE LEFT IN IT WHEN IT WAS ORIGINALLY CONSTRUCTED.

UM, THIS METAL WASN'T HERE, FOR EXAMPLE.

AND THIS WAS AN OPEN AIR CONCEPT, ALMOST KIND OF A PAVILION OVER TIME.

WE FOUND, OR IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT, UM, THAT WASN'T SATISFACTORY FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS.

UH, WILDLIFE GETTING IN THERE AND THAT SORT OF THING, UH, INTO BOTH PARTS OF THE BUILDING.

SO THE GOAL OF THIS REMODEL PROJECT IS, IS TO IMPROVE THE GUEST EXPERIENCE.

SINCE WE KNOW THIS BUILDING'S GONNA STAY HERE, REGARDLESS OF WHAT ELSE HAPPENS WITH THE FIELDS, UH, IT'S CERTAINLY WORTHY MAKE MAKING AN INVESTMENT INTO THIS BUILDING.

SO I WANTED TO WALK THROUGH SOME OF THE DETAILS, 'CAUSE THIS IS JUST A DETAIL ORIENTED PROJECT.

HERE YOU CAN SEE, UM, HOW THE RESTROOMS ARE OPEN.

UH, THIS WALL HERE AND THIS OPEN SPACE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT LEADS TO THE CONCESSION STAND.

SO EVERYTHING'S JUST REALLY COMMINGLED THERE.

ONE ASPECT OF THIS PROJECT, WE'LL PUT A CEILING IN HERE, UM, AND SEPARATE THOSE USES.

PROVIDE A LITTLE BIT OF, UH, HELP WITH THE CLIMATE CONTROL.

AND WE'LL TALK MORE ABOUT A MINUTE.

WE'RE GOING TO DOUBLE OUR, THE SINK CAPACITY SO THAT BETWEEN GAMES, WHEN THERE'S SIGNIFICANT CROWDS IN THE RESTROOMS WHERE THEY CAN WASH THEIR HANDS GO ON WITH THEIR BUSINESS.

UH, HERE YOU SEE SOME LIGHTING ON THE SIDES.

WE'RE GONNA ADD SOME NEW LIGHTINGS.

AS WE INSTALL THE DROP IN CEILING, WE'RE GONNA ADD SOME NEW LIGHTINGS TO IMPROVE THAT.

UM, LOOK.

AND SO IT'S NOT SO DIM.

THIS IS A VIEW INSIDE THE CONCESSION STAND.

THIS, IF YOU'RE A CONCESSION STAND WORKER AND LOOKING OUT, UM, THIS ROLLS UP AND EVERYTHING THAT'S OUTSIDE COMES IN AND VICE VERSA.

SO, UM, THE, THAT'S GONNA BE ADDRESSED BY PUTTING SOME SERVING WINDOWS IN THERE SO THAT THAT IS, UH, CLOSED OFF AND JUST HAS A SMALL OPENING.

UH, SO YOU CAN SERVE FOOD THROUGH.

AND, UM, KEEPING SOME OF THAT CLIMATE CONTROLLED AIR THAT WE'LL BE TALKING ABOUT IN JUST A MINUTE.

LET'S SEE THIS TIPPLE UNDERSIDE OF THE ROOF.

SO JUST, UH, THIS IS IF YOU'RE IN THE RESTROOM OF THE CONCESSION LOOKING UP, THAT'S THE UNDERSIDE OF THE ROOF.

UH, THAT'S JUST A BARE METAL RECEIVING DIRECT SUN.

A LOT OF HEAT COMING OFF OF THAT.

THIS PROJECT WILL PROVIDE INSULATION, UM, FOR, FOR TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND FOR AS A MOISTURE BARRIER.

HERE'S A FLOOR PLAN.

YOU CAN SEE HOW THE RESTROOMS LAY OUT IN THE BUILDING.

AND THE CONCESSION STAND.

THIS DARK SHADED AREA INDICATES THAT WE'LL ACTUALLY INSTALL FRAMING INSIDE THIS PART OF THE STRUCTURE TO GET, UM, BETTER CLIMATE CONTROLLED CONDITIONS OCCURRING THERE SINCE IT'S JUST C M U BLOCK CINDER BLOCK ESSENTIALLY, WHICH TRANSFERS A LOT OF HEAT AND COOL.

SO THAT'LL BE A SPACE FOR ADDITIONAL INSULATION.

AND THIS IS A MECHANICAL PLAN.

SO THIS JUST, UM, A LOT GOING ON HERE.

BUT JUST TO INDICATE THAT THERE'LL BE A LOT OF, UM, WARM AIR PUMPED OUT OF THE BUILDING AND COOLER AIR PUMPED IN.

IT'S NOT GONNA BE CLIMATE CONTROLLED TO WHAT YOU MAY WANT YOUR HOME TO BE, BUT JUST SOMETHING TO CONTROL THE TEMPERATURE A LITTLE BIT BETTER HERE.

THIS IS UP ON THE ROOF.

WE HAVE A LOT OF AREAS WHERE IT'S BEEN TRIED TO SEAL UP OVER THE YEARS.

A LOT OF AREAS STILL OPEN.

THE TOP SIDE OF THIS ROOF WILL ALSO GET A BARRIER FOR INSULATION AND WEATHER TIGHTNESS PURPOSES.

THE OUTSIDE OF THE STRUCTURE WILL BE REPAINTED.

AND HERE YOU HAPPEN TO SEE THE SERVING WINDOWS THAT WILL BE INSTALLED.

THIS PROJECT WAS RECOMMENDED FOR CONSTRUCTION BY THE, UM, OH, I GOT AN EXTRA SLIDE IN HERE.

LEMME TOUCH ON THIS ONE.

I'LL BACK RIGHT UP, UH, BY THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT ADVISORY BOARD JUST RECENTLY.

STAFF OFFICER RECOMMENDS APPROVAL AND, UH, WE ANTICIPATE CONSTRUCTION TO BE

[00:20:01]

ANY QUESTIONS HAPPEN TO ENTERTAIN THEM, BUT THAT'S THE PRESENTATION.

COUNSEL, ANY QUESTIONS? SO SHOULD WE, UH, I KNOW YOU WERE GONNA ASK TO THE, UM, FULL SIZE CHANGING TABLE.

DID WE GET AN ANSWER BACK FROM THE ARCHITECT ON THAT ON THIS PROJECT? I HAVEN'T GOT AN ANSWER FROM THE ARCHITECT ON THAT.

IF WE CAN ACCOMMODATE A FULL SIZE, UH, CHANGING TABLE, I SUSPECT PROBABLY NOT GIVEN THE REMODEL NATURE OF THIS AND THE ALREADY DEFINED FLOOR PLAN.

WE ARE, HOWEVER, LOOKING AND EXPLORING THAT OPTION FOR OUR NEW, UH, RESTROOM AT THE SPLASH PAD.

AND ALSO THERE'S ALREADY BEING PLANS FOR ONE TO BE INCLUDED IN THE RESTROOM THAT IS UNDERDESIGNED FOR ER, PARK, PARK.

SO OUR NEW FACILITIES WILL HAVE THEM, BUT IT'S JUST DIFFICULT TO FIT IT IN WITH THIS FLOOR PLAN.

YES, BUT WE'LL, WE'LL DOUBLE CHECK WITH THE ARCHITECT.

, BUT I EXPECT, I SUSPECT THAT'S GONNA BE OUR ANSWER ON THIS BUILDING.

THAT SPACE WOULD BE VERY LIMITING ON THAT.

IS BESIDES THE SPACE FOR THE, FOR THE TABLE THEMSELVES, THEY GOTTA HAVE CERTAIN CLEARANCES AROUND IT.

NUMBER SIX IS CONSIDERATION OF ACCEPTANCE OF BID, APPROVAL OF CONTRACT, APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION NUMBER 29 DASH 2329 DASH 23.

YOU'RE APPOINTING A PURCHASING AGENT FOR THE SHADE STRUCTURE PROJECT WITH PERFORMANCE DESIGN QUALITY FOR $161,407.

THEN WE HAVE THE CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL CONTRACT FOR THE PURCHASE OF REAL ESTATE FOR FUTURE FIRE STATION SITE LOCATED NEAR SOUTHWEST CORNER OF DANFORTH BOULEVARD IN NORTH KELLY AVENUE FOR $1,284,151, PLUS ESTIMATED CLOSING COSTS OF $5,000, A TOTAL OF ONE MILLION TWO HUNDRED EIGHTY NINE THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED FIFTY ONE THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED FIFTY ONE DOLLARS.

WHERE WE GONNA HAVE A STAFF COMMENTS ON THIS ONE? HE'S GONNA HAVE SOME BRIEF COMMENTS.

CHIEF GOODWIN.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

CHRIS GOODWIN, FIRE CHIEF, JUST A FEW COMMENTS TO LET YOU KNOW HOW WE GOT TO THIS POINT.

AND ALSO THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM.

ALSO, UM, FIRE STATION THREE OFF OVER OFF OF DANFORTH WEST OF KELLY BY THE SOCCER FIELDS WAS BUILT, CONSTRUCTED IN 1983 AND IT'S BEEN A MAINTENANCE NIGHTMARE FOR QUITE SOME TIME.

UM, BACK IN 2021, WE DID A FEASIBILITY STUDY TO DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF PUTTING MORE MONEY INTO THAT STRUCTURE VERSUS RELOCATING IT.

AND THE DETERMINATION WAS MADE THAT WE NEEDED TO RELOCATE FOR DIFFERENT AREA.

SO SINCE THAT TIME, WE'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR PROPERTY IN THAT GENERAL AREA OF TOWN.

UH, THAT'S ONE OF OUR BUSIER STATIONS.

WE NEED TO STAY IN THAT GENERAL AREA.

UM, WE'VE BEEN NEGOTIATING WITH THE OWNERS OF THIS PROPERTY FOR ABOUT A YEAR, UM, AND FINALLY GOT IT TO A POINT WHERE WE FELT LIKE WE COULD COME AND SEEK APPROVAL TO MOVE FORWARD WITH A CONTRACT.

UM, IF WE GET YOUR APPROVAL TO MOVE FORWARD, THEN THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM IS ACTUALLY FOR A, UM, CONTRACT WITH AN ENGINEER AND OR ARCHITECT AND CIVIL ENGINEER TO GO OUT TO THE SITE.

UM, AND WE'VE GOT A 60 DAY INSPECTION PERIOD AFTER WE SIGN THE CONTRACT SO WE CAN BACK OUTTA THAT, THAT, UH, CONTRACT IF THAT, UH, SITE WON'T WORK FOR OUR FIRE STATION.

SO I WANNA GET SOME EXPERTS IN THERE TO TAKE A, A GOOD LOOK.

IT'S GOT SOME DETENTION ISSUES AND STUFF THAT WE NEED TO WORK THROUGH DURING THAT 60 DAY PERIOD.

UM, SO I WILL BE GETTING WITH THEM TOMORROW, UM, TO MOVE FORWARD ON THAT AND START THAT PROCESS.

SO HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

CHIEF, CAN YOU REMIND ME WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN TO THE, THE OLD BUILDING WHEN YOU EXIT IT? SURE.

ONCE I ONCE KNOW YOU MENTIONED IT AND I, I CAN'T REMEMBER RIGHT.

ONCE WE EXIT THAT, THEN WE'LL LOOK AT, UH, AT OUR OPTIONS WOULD ONE, ONE WOULD BE SELLING THAT SITE, ANOTHER WOULD BE LEASING IT.

AND PROBABLY WHAT WE WOULD LOOK AT DOING IS TALKING WITH OUR, UH, AMBULANCE SERVICE PROVIDER.

THAT'S WHAT I WAS THE TIME AND SEEING IF THEY WOULD BE INTERESTED.

IT WOULD BE A GREAT LOCATION FOR, I THOUGHT IT'D BE A WONDERFUL LOCATION FOR THEM.

I ABSOLUTELY.

SO THAT'S CERTAINLY SOMETHING WE'LL LOOK AT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, CHIEF.

AND THEN THAT NEXT ITEM NUMBER EIGHT IS THE CONSIDERATION APPROVAL OF THE AGREEMENT WITH BRAD SAID CAROL, INC.

FOR THE FEASIBILITY STUDY, DETERMINED THE SUITABLE SUITABILITY OF THE PROPERTY LOCATED NEAR SOUTHWEST CORNER OF DANFORTH BOULEVARD IN NORTH KELLY AVENUE FOR THE RELOCATION AND CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW FIRE STATION.

NUMBER THREE FOR $13,940.

COUNSEL, THOSE ARE OUR PURCHASES FOR TONIGHT.

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO? I'D MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE.

A, MOTION SECOND.

THOSE PURCHASES HAVE BEEN APPROVED.

SO CHIEF, WHAT THAT, AND THAT MEANS .

THANK YOU MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

JD YOUNGER, YOUR POLICE CHIEF.

UH, AND I'M YOUR STAFF LIAISON TO THIS MM-HMM.

COUNCIL, PROPOSED BOARD.

UH, AND I'VE ALSO, UH, INVITED THE BOARD HERE AND SEVERAL MEMBERS ARE IN ATTENDANCE, UH, ALONG WITH OUR BOARD CHAIR, SCOTT TOLAN.

UH, WHAT I WOULD JUST OFFER TO YOU RIGHT OFF THE BAT IS, IS THIS COUNCIL SLASH BOARD HAS BEEN IN EXISTENCE SINCE 1997, SO IT'S 26 YEARS.

UH, THE TITLE, WHILE APPROPRIATE AT THE TIME AND DESCRIPTIVE OF WHAT WE DO, UH, DOES TEND TO BE A HINDRANCE IN TRYING TO EXPLAIN TO THE PUBLIC EXACTLY WHAT IT IS AND TO COMMUNICATE THAT IT IS A BOARD.

UH, BUT REALLY BEYOND THAT, THE PURPOSE OF THE BOARD, UH, IS TO PROVIDE LEGITIMACY, UH, TO YOUR POLICE DEPARTMENT.

UH, THEY ARE THE COMMUNITY'S REPRESENTATIVES IN WORKING WITH US TO DETERMINE STRATEGIES, PRIORITIES, UH, THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING.

AND, UH, THEY ADD A LITTLE BIT OF ACCOUNTABILITY, UH, THROUGH THEIR OWN FUNCTIONS.

BUT IN ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT WE'RE DOING, UH, SO YOU SEE, UH, THE QUESTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN, UH, BROUGHT UP NATIONALLY ABOUT POLICING, ESPECIALLY IN THE LAST 10 YEARS.

UH, THIS BOARD IS A GREAT CONDUIT, UH, TO THE COMMUNITY TO ASK THOSE QUESTIONS THAT EVERY COMMUNITY SHOULD BE ASKING.

UH, WHAT, HOW DO WE POLICE, UH, WHAT DO YOU FOCUS ON? HOW DO YOU HIRE? UH, AND SO WITH THAT, I WOULD, UH, ASK INDULGENCE TO HAVE OUR CHAIR STEP UP AND KIND OF TALK ABOUT HOW THE BOARD CAME TO THIS PROPOSAL.

UH, BECAUSE TO BE CLEAR, THIS IS A BOARD PROPOSAL.

UH, STAFF DOES ENDORSE IT, BUT THE BOARD DRAFTED IT.

THANKS.

EVENING COUNCIL, MAYOR, AND CITY STAFF WHO ASSISTED US WITH, UH, DRAFTING ALL THE LANGUAGE THAT YOU GOT TO SAY OUT LOUD HERE THIS EVENING.

AND PART OF THE TITLE IS THE REASON WHY WE WANTED TO UNDERTAKE, UH, RENAMING THE BOARD.

UM, IF YOU SO CHOOSE TO APPROVE THIS ORDINANCE THAT'S BEFORE YOU, WE ARE CHANGING THAT TO THE COMMUNITY POLICING BOARD.

UM, WHAT'S BEFORE YOU IS A RESULT OF SEVERAL MONTHS OF WORK BY THE BOARD TO UPDATE AND BRING ACCOUNTABILITY TO AN ENTITY THAT HAS EXISTED WITHIN CITY ORDINANCES SINCE 97.

IF YOU'RE UNFAMILIAR WITH THE BOARD, UH, YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY CITIZENS WHO ARE NOT AS CHAIR.

I ASK THAT YOU NOT CONFUSE OUR PURPOSE WITH CITIZENS POLICE ACADEMY.

WE ARE NEITHER A CHEERLEADER FOR THE DEPARTMENT, BUT WE'RE NEITHER A NOR ARE WE A DETRACTOR.

AND OUR PURPOSE IS TO ENSURE THERE'S A STRONG PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE DEPARTMENT AND THE PEOPLE IT CARES FOR AND PROTECTS THE CHANGES BEFORE YOU ENSURE THAT WE ARE DOING OUR JOBS AND SOLICITING FEEDBACK ON A REGULAR BASIS AND COMMUNICATING THIS INFORMATION TO THE DEPARTMENT, THE COUNCIL, OR THE CITY MANAGER TO MAKE OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP STRONGER.

UM, YOU'LL NOTICE UNDER FUNCTIONS REALLY IS WHERE THE BULK OF OUR WORK WAS DONE.

TAKING A LOOK AT OTHER COMMUNITIES AROUND OKLAHOMA WHO MAY HAVE THIS WITHIN THEIR CITY ORDINANCES AND EDMOND'S ACTUALLY PRETTY UNIQUE.

WE ARE ONE OF ONLY A FEW THAT ACTUALLY HAS IT EMBEDDED IN OUR CITY ORDINANCES.

OTHER COMMUNITIES IN OKLAHOMA MAY HAVE IT, BUT IT MAY NOT BE AT THAT LEVEL.

UM, SO WE DID UPDATE SOME OF THE FUNCTIONS HERE.

THIS BOARD, UM, DID SUFFER FOR A LONG TIME, UM, OF, OF NOT NECESSARILY, UM, DOING A LOT OF MATERIAL WORK.

AND SO WE UNDERTOOK THE TIME TO SEE HOW COULD WE RE-CRAFT THESE FUNCTIONS TO PROVIDE TIMELY, IMMEDIATE FEEDBACK BACK TO THE COUNCIL, THE CHIEF, AND, UM, THE CITY ATTORNEY, WHOEVER ELSE.

I'LL NOTE MY COMMENTS UNLESS ANYBODY HAS

[00:30:01]

ANY QUESTIONS FOR US.

I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU.

I WAS INVITED TO ONE OF YOUR MEETINGS AND TO BE HONEST, UNTIL I WENT TO THE MEETING, REALLY WASN'T SURE WHAT THE BOARD WAS ABOUT.

AND IT'S QUITE IMPRESSIVE WHAT Y'ALL DO.

I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED IT AND I I THINK THAT EVERYBODY SHOULD GO VISIT, UM, IF ON EVERY MEETING AT LEAST A COUPLE TIMES AND GO SEE IT.

BUT I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED MY VISIT WITH YOUR, WITH YOUR BOARD AND, UM, IMPRESSED WITH WHAT YOU DO WITH, FOR, FOR THIS COMMUNITY.

AND I FEEL LIKE YOU'RE KIND OF JUST A LIAISON FOR, TO BE AN ADVOCATE BETWEEN THE TWO.

IF SOMEBODY IN THE COMMUNITY HAS A QUESTION, YOU BRING IT AND FIND OUT THE ANSWER.

IF SOMEBODY IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT MIGHT, YOU CAN GO FIND IT, GET SOME INFORMATION TO THE COMMUNITY.

IT'S A, UM, A VERY WORTHWHILE AND A VERY VALUABLE TOOL FOR THIS COMMUNITY.

AND I, I THANK YOU AND I THANK EVERYBODY THAT SERVES ON THIS BOARD.

I WAS JUST GONNA ASK NOW, SINCE THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS ITEM HERE, IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS FROM THE AUDIENCE? SIR, PLEASE COME DOWN AND INTRODUCE YOURSELF.

PLEASE CALL ME THERE.

I JUST WANNA ASK IF THERE IS LINE ITEM INFORMATION AVAILABLE OF THE INSERTIONS, DELETIONS AND CHANGES, AND HOW DO WE GO ABOUT PROCURING THAT INFORMATION? THANK YOU.

I'M SORRY MA'AM, COULD YOU REPEAT YOUR QUESTION? I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND IT.

IS THERE LINE ITEM INFORMATION AVAILABLE OF ANY, UM, INSTRUCTIONS, DELETIONS, AND CHANGES? THE ONES THAT ARE LISTED THERE IS OUR LINE ITEM INFORMATION TO THE PUBLIC.

AND HOW DO WE PROCURE THAT INFORMATION? UM, YES MA'AM.

THAT, THAT INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE, AS IT SAYS ON THE AGENDA IS AVAILABLE ON OUR WEBSITE OR IS AVAILABLE BY CONTACTING THE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE AND ASKING FOR A COPY.

THERE'S NOT ONLY THE CLEAN COPY OF THE ORDINANCE, BUT THERE'S ALSO A RED LINE VERSION AVAILABLE ON OUR WEBSITE.

OKAY, COUNSEL, ANY ANYONE ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE? COUNSEL, WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO ON THIS ITEM? MOTION TO APPROVE.

WE HAVE A MOTION.

THAT ITEM'S PASSED.

THANK YOU ALL.

EVERYONE WHO'S ON THE COUNCIL NOW OR THE NEW COMMUNITY, POLICE AND BOARD.

DO YOU NEED ONE IN MY, THOSE MEETING MINUTES HAVE PASSED.

CONSENT ITEMS, UM, JUST LIKE WE DID FOR THE COUNCIL MEETING.

NOW WE HAVE OUR

[7. Public Works Authority General Consent: Items listed under General Consent are usually approved as a group with the proper motion from a member of the Public Works Authority. Members of the Public Works Authority may request discussion or separate action on any item under General Consent.]

WE NEED TO APPROVE THE CONSIDERATION APPROVAL OF THE 2024 PUBLIC WORKS AUTHORITY SCHEDULE, OR REGULAR MEETINGS, WHICH WOULD HAVE THE ONE DATE IN JULY.

NOT ON THERE.

I MOVE TO APPROVE ITEM A ONE WITH THE SAME REVISION AS IN THE, UM, COUNCIL MEETING LIST OF MEETINGS.

PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE THAT MS. PASS.

WE HAVE OUR CONSIDERATION OF PURCHASES.

[B. Consideration of Approval of Purchases:]

EXCUSE ME.

FIRST ONE, UH, B ONE IS CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL OF AMENDED AND RESTATED SPORTS PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT WITH EDMOND YOUTH SPORTS ASSOCIATION FOR THE LEASE AND OPERATION OF THE AC CAPITAL SPORTS COMPLEX AND THE MITCH PARK BALLFIELDS FOR $2,500 ANNUAL REVENUE.

IT'S JUST A COMPANION ITEM THAT WE HAD ON THE GENERAL GOVERNMENT COUNCIL SINCE IT INVOLVES BOTH THE E P W A AND THE CITY COUNCIL.

WE PUT IT ON BOTH MM-HMM.

AGENDAS, SO NO, NO CHANGE.

SAME THING.

OKLAHOMA COUNTY, FRANCIS TUTTLE, THE METRO LIBRARY SYSTEM IN THE OKLAHOMA COUNTY, OKLAHOMA COUNTY, OKLAHOMA CITY HEALTH DEPARTMENT WILL RECEIVE THE EXACT SAME DOLLAR AMOUNT THAT THEY RECEIVED WHEN THE TIF STARTED FOR THE NEXT 20 YEARS.

THE NEXT IS WE HAVE A CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICE CONTRACT AMENDMENT NUMBER THREE, RE AND NICHOLS INC.

FOR CHISHOLM CREEK FOREST MAIN REPLACEMENT PROJECT FOR $129,603 INCREASE.

THEN WE HAVE THE CONSIDERATION, APPROVAL OF DEVELOPMENT AND FINANCE ASSISTANCE AGREEMENT WITH 1 0 3 BROADWAY, L L C TO INDUCE AND SUPPORT A MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF BROADWAY AND HERD IN DOWNTOWN EDMOND TO PROVIDE FOR ASSISTANCE IN THE DEVELOPMENT FINANCING TO 1 0 3 BROADWAY L L C IN THE AMOUNT OF 90% OF INCREMENT INCREMENTAL ADD OF ALL ALARM TAXES GENERATED BY THE PROJECT, UH, DEVELOPMENT IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED 1,000,080, $80,000.

[00:35:01]

, ANDY CONYERS, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER ADMINISTRATION.

AND WHILE IT MIGHT NOT BE THE LONGEST AGENDA ITEM ON THE, ON THE MEETING, I MADE SURE OF THAT AND MADE SURE IT WAS STRATEGICALLY PLACED.

NO, I'M KIDDING.

SO SORRY.

I HAVE TO READ ALL THAT.

MAYOR.

SOMETIMES LAWYERS GET INVOLVED AND A BUNCH OF WORDS GET ADDED TO THE AGENDA ITEM, SO I ONLY GET A LITTLE BIT LONGER TO POKE FUN AT IT.

SO I'M, I'M GONNA GO AHEAD AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT.

SO I, THERE WE GO.

I UNDERSTAND.

SO, UH, MAYOR, SO QUICKLY GONNA GIVE A LITTLE BACKGROUND ON THE PROJECT AND THEN A QUICK OVERVIEW OF THE TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT AND THEN SOME DETAILS OF THE DEVELOPMENT AND FINANCING AGREEMENT.

AND THE SLIDES THAT ARE PRESENTED ARE JUST A SNAPSHOT OF EVERYTHING THAT WAS PLACED WITHIN THE PACKET, WHICH IS ON OUR WEBSITE.

SO JUST WANTED TO GO HIT SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THESE AND BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, UM, AS I GO.

UM, SO A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE PROJECT.

SO AT YOUR LAST MEETING, YOUR AUGUST 14TH MEETING, THE FINAL PLAT IN THIS PSYCH PLAN WAS APPROVED FOR 1 0 3 BROADWAY, WHICH WILL BE A MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT LOCATED ON THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF BROADWAY AND HERD.

SO HERE IS BROADWAY, RIGHT HERE, HERE IS HERD.

SO CURRENTLY IT IS VACANT LAND.

UH, IT'S LAST USE WAS A TEMPORARY USE OF KATY BUGS, SNOW CONES, AND, UH, OTHER SWEET TREATS.

MUCH TO MY DAUGHTER'S, MY EIGHT YEAR OLD DAUGHTER'S CHAGRIN, KATY BUGS MOVED ON TO A MORE PERMANENT LOCATION.

SO, UH, THIS SITE HAS BEEN, UH, LOOKING FOR SOMETHING ELSE TO OCCUR AND WE HAVE THAT WITH THE APPROVAL.

SO WHAT'S CONTEMPLATED IS THIS PRETTY PICTURE RIGHT HERE.

SO WHAT THIS IS IS OVER 25,000 SQUARE FEET OF MIXED USE SPACE, AND THERE'S SEVERAL BUILDINGS AND I'LL JUST QUICKLY WALK THROUGH THEM.

SO ON THE CORNER OF BROADWAY AND HERD IS AN 11,000 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING THAT WILL HAVE FOUR FLOORS.

SO IT'S CONTEMPLATED THAT A RESTAURANT WILL BE ON THE FIRST FLOOR AND THEN THE SECOND AND THIRD FLOOR WILL CONTAIN OFFICE.

AND THEN ON THE TOP FLOOR, NOT SHOWN IN THIS BECAUSE, UH, THE PLAN HAS CHANGED JUST A LITTLE BIT, WILL BE A ROOFTOP TERRACE THAT WILL BE AVAILABLE TO BE LEASED OUT FOR PRIVATE EVENTS.

UM, UH, THE REST OF THE DEVELOPMENT IS GONNA CONTAIN EIGHT DIFFERENT LIVING UNITS.

SO THREE LIVE WORK UNITS, WHICH WILL BE ONE OF WHICH WILL BE RIGHT HERE.

AND THAT MEANS EXACTLY WHAT IT SAYS.

SO DOWN HERE YOU WOULD HAVE THE ABILITY TO WORK TO HAVE WHATEVER YOUR OCCUPATION IS, AND THEN YOU'D BE ABLE TO LIVE ON TOP OF THAT.

UH, THERE WILL BE ALSO TWO TOWN HOMES AND THEN THREE ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS.

AND SO, UM, I KNOW EARLIER WE HEARD THE FINAL REPORT FROM THE URBAN LAND INSTITUTE AND THEY CALLED OUT THINGS JUST LIKE THIS TO INCREASE THE HOUSING STOCK AND DENSITY IN DOWNTOWN.

SO THIS PROJECT ACCOMPLISHES THAT, UH, THIS PROJECT WILL, UM, INVOLVE HIGH QUALITY MATERIALS, LOTS OF BRICK WILL BE USED.

AND, AND SPEAKING WITH THE DEVELOPER, THEY SORT OF LOOKED AT THE MATERIAL AND UH, THE PALLET THAT WAS USED WITH OLD NORTH AS SORT OF AN INSPIRATION FOR THE MATERIALS AND THE LOOK OF THIS PROJECT.

SO IT WILL BE A TOTAL OF $12 MILLION WORTH OF INVESTMENT WITH $9 MILLION WORTH OF CONSTRUCTION COSTS.

UM, IT'S JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE TAX INCOME AND FINANCING DISTRICT.

SO THIS IS A 20 YEAR PROPERTY TAX TIFF THAT WAS APPROVED IN OCTOBER, 2020 BY THE COUNCIL.

AND THE GOAL OF THAT JUST STATED SIMPLY IS TO SUPPORT THE CONTINUED REVITALIZATION IN DOWNTOWN EDMOND THROUGH A DEDICATED FUNDING STRUCTURE TO STIMULATE PRIVATE INVESTMENT.

HOW THAT WOULD OCCUR IS TO ASSIST OR SUBSIDIZE, DEVELOPS BY REINVESTING, RESULTING PROPERTY TAX INCREASES, PRIMARILY TIED TO PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS BACK INTO THE PROJECT.

SO THIS DEVELOPMENT IS CONTEMPLATING $9 MILLION WORTH OF CONSTRUCTION IMPROVEMENTS.

AND WHAT THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, UH, STATES IS THAT 90% ON A YEARLY BASIS OF THE TOTAL OF THE ADDITIONAL INCREMENT THAT'S GENERATED FROM THE PROJECT WOULD GO BACK TO THE DEVELOPER.

AND WE'LL WALK A LITTLE BIT THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT HERE IN JUST A MINUTE.

AND THE WHY BEHIND THIS IS THE BUT FOUR.

SO, BUT FOUR, HAVING A FUNDING MECHANISM LIKE THIS WHERE THE INCREASE IN PROPERTY TAXES IS ABLE TO BE LEVERAGED THROUGH THE CITY AND WORKING THROUGH PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS, QUALITY DEVELOPMENTS LIKE THIS WOULD NOT OCCUR, WOULD NOT OCCUR TO THE, UH, MAGNITUDE AND WOULD NOT OCCUR TO THE QUALITY OF ESPECIALLY SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

SO WOULD SOMETHING OCCUR POTENTIALLY, WOULD SOMETHING OCCUR TO THIS QUALITY? PROBABLY NOT.

SO THAT'S THE BUT FOR OF WHY THE TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT WAS CREATED AND IT WAS CREATED FOR PROJECTS JUST OF THIS NATURE.

SO, UM, JUST ONE MORE SLIDE ON A LITTLE BACKGROUND ON THE TIFF.

SO ON I DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO THE LEFT SLIDE HERE.

SO THIS IS THE TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT.

SO ABOUT A HALF A SQUARE MILE WITHIN DOWNTOWN, IT MIRRORS THE CENTRAL EDMOND URBAN DISTRICT.

SO ON THE NORTH YOU HAVE THATCHER.

ON THE WEST YOU HAVE FRETS.

ON THE SOUTH YOU HAVE NINTH, AND ON THE EAST YOU HAVE UNIVERSITY.

SO HOW IT WORKS IS, UM, SO I'LL TURN YOUR ATTENTION TO THE RIGHT.

SO OVER A 20 YEAR PERIOD, ALL FIVE ENTITIES THAT RECEIVE PROPERTY TAX IN THIS AREA.

SO THOSE FIVE ENTITIES ARE THE EDMUND PUBLIC SCHOOLS, THE OKLAHOMA COUNTY,

[00:40:01]

SO IF THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS RECEIVED A HUNDRED DOLLARS OUT OF THIS AREA, THEY'LL RECEIVE THAT SAME $100 FOR THE NEXT 20 YEARS.

ANYTHING ADDITIONAL THAT COMES IN ABOVE THAT $100 WOULD GO BACK, UH, TO THE CITY AND THE FUNDS HAVE TO BE EXPENDED WITHIN THE BLUE BOX WITHIN THE AREA.

SO THAT, THAT'S QUITE SIMPLY HOW THE TIF OPERATES FOR THE CITY OF EDMOND.

SO, AND AFTER THAT 20 YEAR PERIOD, THEN THE NEW TAX BASE WILL BE ESTABLISHED AND THE CITY WILL NO LONGER RECEIVE THE BENEFITS OF THE INCREASE IN THIS AREA.

AND IT WE'LL GO BACK TO ALL FIVE OF THOSE TAXING DUR JURISDICTIONS, AGAIN, THE BUT FLOOR.

BUT FOR THIS MECHANISM BEING IN PLACE, WE WOULDN'T RECEIVE, WE WOULDN'T HAVE PROJECTS LIKE THIS.

YOU WOULDN'T SEE THE OXLEY UNDER CONSTRUCTION, WHICH WILL BE 206 76 MULTI, UH, UH, AN APARTMENT COMPLEX, SORRY, ON MONDAY.

AND THEN YOU WOULDN'T HAVE PROJECTS LIKE THE LARK, WHICH WILL BE 41 COTTAGE STYLE HOMES AND YOU WOULDN'T HAVE PROJECTS OFF OF NINTH AND BOULEVARD LIKE THE EMBER, WHICH WILL BE 23, UM, COTTAGE STYLE HOMES, BUT A A LITTLE LARGER IN CREATING COMMUNITY WITHIN THAT SPACE.

SO THAT'S JUST A LITTLE BIT OF HOW THE TIFF FUNCTIONS.

SO WHAT'S CONTEMPLATED IN THIS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT IS AGAIN, IT'S $9 MILLION WORTH OF CONSTRUCTION COST.

WHAT THAT IS PROPOSED TO GENERATE OVER THE LIFE OF ABOUT 14 YEARS, WHICH IS HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE FOR THIS PROJECT TO BE CONSTRUCTED.

AND THEN FOR THE ADDITIONAL ASSESSMENT TO TAKE PLACE.

SO OVER THAT 14 YEAR PERIOD, UM, WE ANTICIPATE AN ADDITIONAL A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS TO BE GENERATED FROM THIS PROJECT.

AND OVER THAT 14 YEARS, THAT EQUATES TO I PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD MATH, $1.4 MILLION OF THAT $1.4 MILLION.

THE WAY OUR AGREEMENT IS STRUCTURED IN THE TIF WITH THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS IS 10% OF THAT ADDITIONAL INCREMENT GOES DIRECTLY BACK TO THE SCHOOLS.

SO THEY WILL RECEIVE THAT 10% OF THAT 1.4.

AND ALSO THIS MODELING WE LOOKED AT IS VERY CONSERVATIVE, SO NO INCREASE IN VALUE OVER 14 YEARS.

SO ONCE THE ASSESSMENT IS SET AFTER THE PROJECT IS COMPLETE, THE MODELING THAT WE DID DIDN'T SHOW ANY INCREASE TO THE PROPERTY VALUE OVER THAT TIME.

WE FEEL IT'S VERY CONSERVATIVE.

UM, IF THINGS CONTINUE TO GO THE WAY THEY ARE DOWNTOWN, THAT PROBABLY WON'T OCCUR.

IT'LL CONTINUE TO GO UP, WHICH MEANS MORE, MORE MONEY GENERATED.

AND WHO MAKES THAT DETERMINATION? ULTIMATELY, THE COUNTY ASSESSOR OR THE COUNTY ASSESSOR MAKES A DETERMINATION, CORRECT? YEAH.

AND THE INCREASE IN THAT PROPERTY TAX MEANS MORE MONEY FOR THE SCHOOLS, CORRECT? YEAH, YOU BET.

AND SO, AND THEY'RE ALREADY GETTING A LITTLE BIT MORE 'CAUSE THEY'RE GETTING 10% OF THAT.

YES, CORRECT.

AND THEN SO WITH THE REMAINING PERCENTAGE OF THAT, SO THAT YOU TAKE THE 10% OFF THE TOP, SO WHAT THIS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT PROPOSES IS 90% OF WHAT'S GENERATED ON A YEARLY BASIS WILL GO BACK TO THE DEVELOPER AND THEN THAT HAS A CAP ON IT OF A LITTLE OVER A MILLION DOLLARS.

SO AGAIN, THAT'S OVER THE 14 YEAR PERIOD.

AND THESE IMPROVEMENTS, UH, WHY THIS IS GOING BACK TO THE DEVELOPER, IT'S PRIMARILY TIED TO INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS.

SO SITE WORK, PUBLIC STREET SCAPE, AND WHEN I SAY PUBLIC STREET SCAPE, IT'S PARKING, LANDSCAPING, SIDEWALKS, LIGHTING AND IRRIGATION.

SO IF YOU GO BACK TO THE PICTURE HERE, IT'S ADDING ON STREET PARKING.

THAT DOESN'T EXIST.

IT'S, UH, THEY ARE LOOKING AT OUTDOOR DINING AS WELL.

RIGHT HERE, THERE'LL BE TREES, THERE'LL BE LIGHTS THAT'LL BE, THAT'LL BE ADDED TO THIS.

SO THAT'S PRIMARILY WHAT THE, UH, THE DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVE IS TIED TO.

SO MR. CONYERS, BESIDES THE CITY WEBSITE, HOW'S THE ENLIGHTENED ME AND OTHERS THAT MAY NOT KNOW, HOW'S THE PUBLIC INFORMED AND ENLIGHTENED THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS ON HOW THIS WORKS IN TERMS OF DOLLARS AND CENTS? WELL, PUBLIC MEETINGS JUST AS THIS, AND THEN ALSO ON A YEARLY BASIS, THE CITY IS REQUIRED TO, UH, PRODUCE REPORTING ON THE TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT.

WHAT'S INCLUDED IN THAT REPORT? IT, IT WILL BE ALL THE, THE EXPENSES THAT HAVE BEEN FUNDED THROUGHOUT, THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT OVER THE TIME PERIOD.

AND SO THAT, AND THAT'S ANNUALLY THAT YEAH.

AND IT'S DUE AT THE END OF SEPTEMBER.

ARE THERE ANY MEETINGS IN BETWEEN OF THE CITIZENS TO TALK ABOUT THIS OR IS CURRENTLY THERE ARE NOT.

NO.

SO BECAUSE I THINK I'VE READ OR UH, THAT SOME MUNICIPALITIES HAVE A TIF COMMITTEE BEYOND THE ONE THAT SET IT UP.

BUT THE PERIODIC MEETINGS MM-HMM.

, DO WE HAVE ANYTHING LIKE THAT IN PLACE? WE CURRENTLY, WE CURRENTLY DO NOT.

NO.

WOULD THAT BE POSSIBLE TO LOOK INTO THAT? SEE IF THERE'S, IF THE COUNCIL WOULD LIKE US TO DO, DO THAT? WE WERE CERTAINLY, UH, WE WILL CERTAINLY DO THAT AND WE'LL CERTAINLY SET UP THAT STRUCTURE.

MAYBE THAT LIAISON WE HAVE FOR DOWNTOWN COULD, SO, SO STATUTORILY, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER.

SO WHAT WAS REQUIRED IS THERE HAS TO BE A, A REVIEW COMMITTEE SET UP OF THE ENTITIES THAT RECEIVED PROPERTY TAX WITHIN THE AREA.

REGARDLESS OF THE EXCESSIVE VALUE OR IS THAT JUST A CAP AS IT PERTAINS TO NO INCREASE IN OVER 14 YEARS THAT THE, THE LATTER.

SO WHEN IT WAS SET UP, THE CITY DID MEET THAT OBLIGATION.

I SERVED ON THAT COMMITTEE.

I'M TALKING ABOUT GOING FORWARD.

AND IS THAT 90% BACK TO THE DEVELOPER CAP? IT SAYS THAT 1,080,000, IS THAT

[00:45:01]

SO NO MATTER WHAT IT GOES UP TO, NO MATTER, AGAIN, WE'RE VERY CONSERVATIVE WITH THIS 1.4 THAT WE BELIEVE IT'S GENERATED.

SO IT'S OFF OF THAT.

SO IT'S, GO AHEAD.

SO I THINK THE QUESTION IS, THE MAX THEY CAN RECEIVE BACK IS A MILLION, 80,000.

THAT'S IT.

REGARDLESS IF THE ASSESSOR ASSESSES MORE MM-HMM.

FOR, FOR INSTANCE, IF FOR EXAMPLE, THEY DON'T GENERATE ENOUGH OR IT DOESN'T GENERATE ENOUGH, THEY STILL DON'T, THEY'RE NOT ENTITLED TO THE MILLION 80.

IT'S ONLY BASED ON WHAT THEY CAN GENERATE AS FAR AS, BUT IT CAPS AT THAT.

SO THE DEVELOPMENT, THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT ENDS WHENEVER EITHER ONE OF TWO THINGS HAPPENS, THE TIF ENDS, WHICH RIGHT NOW, UNLESS SOMETHING CHANGES IS, UH, JUNE 30TH, 2039 OR THEY HIT THAT CAP.

SO IF THEY HIT THAT CAP MUCH SOONER THAN THAT, THEN I THINK THAT'S PROBABLY WONDERFUL FOR, FOR NOT ONLY DEVELOPER, BUT THE AREA AS A WHOLE AND THE COMMUNITY.

UM, KEY DATES IN THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, UH, ASSUMING APPROVAL THIS EVENING, UH, ON FE, UH, THEY HAVE SIX MONTHS FROM THE EFFECTIVE DATE TO PROVIDE PRELIMINARY PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS.

UM, AGAIN, THEY'RE WELL AHEAD OF THAT.

THEY'VE GOT THEIR SITE PLAN APPROVED.

SO THEY'RE, THEY'RE WORKING THROUGH, UH, THE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT PROCESS RIGHT NOW WITH STAFF.

AND I KNOW THAT SHOULD BE WRAPPED UP SOON.

AND THEN THEY HAVE TO COMMENCE CONSTRUCTION BY JULY 1ST, 2024, AND THEN COMPLETE CONSTRUCTION, UM, BEFORE THE END OF CALENDAR YEAR 2025.

IN MY UNDERSTANDING TOO, MOVING FORWARD, IT'S, THE MONEY IS EXPENDED, THEN REIMBURSED, CORRECT.

NOT OTHER WAY AROUND.

SO THERE IS NO MONEY, THERE IS NO MONEY FRONTED FROM THE CITY.

SO AS SOON AS THIS DEVELOPMENT STARTS GENERATING MORE INCOME, THEN THAT 90% WE'LL START GOING BACK TO DEVELOPER ON AN ANNUAL BASIS.

THEY PROVE TO US THAT YES, THIS IS WHAT I PAID ON THE, ON THESE PROPERTIES IN PROPERTY TAX.

AND THEN THE CITY TURNS RIGHT BACK AROUND THAT.

I BELIEVE IT'S CONTEMPLATED BY SEPTEMBER 1ST EACH YEAR THEN PAYS THEM 90% OF WHATEVER IT IS THAT THEY GENERATED TO GO TO THAT INFRASTRUCTURE THAT YOU MENTIONED, CORRECT? WELL, THEY'RE FRONTING THE COSTS FOR THE INFRASTRUCTURE.

THEY'RE FRONTING ALL THE COSTS.

REIMBURSING, YES.

THIS IS ALL REIMBURSABLE.

THERE IS NO UPFRONT COST TO THE CITY, THE CITY OF NY.

YES, IT IS ALL IN A DEVELOPER.

AND THEN THE STRUCTURE IS THAT THEY GET PREPAID OVER TIME.

, UM, FROM WHAT'S GENERATED FROM THE PROPERTY, UM, JUST A LITTLE BIT AGAIN, STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL.

UM, ADDITIONALLY IN, UH, ON FEBRUARY 8TH, 2021, THE COUNCIL TOOK THE ACTION TO APPROVE A TIF POLICY GUIDE.

AND WHEN WE'RE GOING THROUGH AS A STAFF VETTING, UM, WHAT POTENTIALLY THE, UH, THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WILL LOOK LIKE, THESE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE GO BACK TO.

SO WHAT WAS IN THERE FOR PRIORITIES FOR ALLOCATION? NEW RESIDENTIAL LIVING UNITS.

SO IT CONTEMPLATED EXPANDING THE NUMBER OF AVAILABLE UNITS AND CREATING DIFFERENT KIND OF TYPES OF PRODUCTS.

CHECK RETAIL ACTIVITIES, GROWING RETAIL SALES, UH, SPECIFICALLY RESTAURANTS.

AND THEN STRENGTHENING THE EVENING ACTIVITY.

WE FEEL LIKE THIS WILL HAPPEN.

OFFICE DEVELOPMENT, AGAIN, TWO FLOORS OF OFFICE WITH THAT IN ADDITION TO THE WORK UNITS BELOW THE LIVE UNITS.

AND THEN PROMOTE NEW AND IMPROVED EXISTING PUBLIC SPACES.

SO PROMOTE WALKABILITY BY MAKING PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY ATTRACTIVE, SAFE AND CONNECTIVE, AND THEN SEEK OPPORTUNITIES TO ADD ADDITIONAL GATHERING SPACES.

SO REALLY FEEL LIKE IT, IT HITS THAT LAST ONE.

WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THIS AREA RIGHT HERE MM-HMM.

AGAIN, ADDING THE SIDEWALK, ADDING OUTDOOR DINING, ADDING LIGHTING, ADDING TREATS, THAT, THAT'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS.

I LOVE THAT IT MIMICS OLD NORTH.

ONE OF OUR MOST BEAUTIFUL ASSETS IN THIS CITY.

UM, I LOVE THAT.

AND THE, THE WORK LIVE.

YEAH, THAT'S JUST, IT'S REALLY A GREAT SITUATION FOR FOLKS WHO HAVE THEIR OWN BUSINESSES AND UM, JUST DECREASES IN OUR TRAFFIC.

'CAUSE THEY'RE NOT DRIVING TO WORK, THEY'RE NOT DRIVING TO EAT, THEY'RE WALKING AROUND, THEY'RE STAYING DOWNTOWN, THEY'RE LIVING THERE, THEY'RE WORKING THERE.

UM, MORE TAX DOLLARS IN THE CITY, BUT MAINLY IT JUST ADDS, ADDS TO THE WALKABILITY AND IT'S JUST A BEAUTIFUL DEVELOPMENT.

NOT TO MENTION THE INCREASES.

I'M IMPRESSED WITH WHAT HE'S PUTTING INTO IT.

APPRECIATE THE COMMENTS.

COUNSEL.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NO, THANK YOU.

ANYTHING IF I COULD, MAYOR, MY NAME'S TODD MCKENNA.

I REPRESENT THE DEVELOPER 1 0 3 SOUTH BROADWAY.

AND JUST A FOR REFERENCE, RIGHT NOW, THAT PROPERTY GENERATES $3,200 A YEAR IN PROPERTY TAX.

SO IF IT'S $9 MILLION, LET'S SAY 10, UH, THEN THAT'S ABOUT A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR IN PROPERTY TAX.

EVEN AT 10% TO THE SCHOOL AT TWO AND A HALF, IF NOT THREE TIMES INCREASE ON THE CURRENT REVENUE FROM THAT SITE.

[00:50:01]

AND FAR AS THE DEVELOPER INVESTMENT, THE THING THAT'S REALLY INTERESTING ABOUT THIS, AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW, IS ALL THOSE COSTS ARE FRONTED MM-HMM.

AND IT'S NOT UNTIL THE COUNTY ASSESSOR REASSESS IT, WHICH REALLY IS POST-CONSTRUCTION.

SO THERE'S A TWO TO TWO AND A HALF YEAR GAP THAT THE DEVELOPER FRONTS THAT DOLLAR IN TODAY'S RISING INTEREST RATE COST 8% OR WHEREVER WE ARE ABOUT THAT.

IT IS SIGNIFICANT.

IT IS A SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT BY THE CITY, NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.

UH, BUT IT ALSO KIND OF REMINDS US OF THE NEED FOR OUR PLANS AND EVERYTHING TO MOVE QUICKLY THROUGH THE PROCESS.

, WE HAVE SOME DEADLINES IN OUR AGREEMENT.

YOU SAW THEM FEBRUARY AND JULY TO GET THINGS MOVING.

AND SO, UH, AGAIN, WE APPRECIATE THE PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY OF EDMOND.

IT'S A GREAT PROJECT.

UH, AND IT'S A WIN WIN WIN BECAUSE NOT JUST THE CITY AND THE DEVELOPER, BUT THE SCHOOL SYSTEM HAS A SIGNIFICANT BENEFIT.

UH, OUR MILLAGE RATE IS WHAT, 1.04.

SO BY THE TIME THIS THING'S DONE, IT'LL PROBABLY BE TAXED SOMEWHERE IN THE 15 TO $17 MILLION A YEAR RANGE.

AND SO THE NUMBER IS SIGNIFICANT.

AND AT THE END OF THE TIFF, ALL THAT MONEY GOES.

AND AS WE'VE SEEN SINCE THE BEGINNING OF TIME, THERE HASN'T BEEN REALLY ANY REVENUE GENERATED FROM THIS SITE.

I MEAN, NOT THAT $3,200 ISN'T MONEY, BUT UH, THE IMPROVEMENTS WILL MAKE THAT EXPONENTIALLY BETTER FOR EVERYBODY.

SO WE JUST APPRECIATE THE CITY WORKING WITH US ON THIS AS WE'VE GOTTEN TO THIS POINT.

AND ANDY AND HIS TEAM AS WELL.

SO I JUST WANTED TO MENTION THAT AS A FINANCIAL RELEVANCE TO THE DEAL.

I ALSO LIKE HOW AESTHETICALLY PLEASING, YOU KNOW, I MENTIONED THAT, BUT ALSO THE FACT THAT THE DEVELOPER'S PLANNING ON PUTTING SOME PUBLIC ART IN THERE.

IT'S JUST, IT'S GONNA BE BEAUTIFUL.

PLEASE INTRODUCE YOURSELF.

YES MA'AM.

MAYOR CITY COUNCIL, I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION.

EXCUSE ME.

I WAS WONDERING ABOUT THE PARKING.

HOLD ON PLEASE.

UM, WE GET, WE'RE GONNA HAVE PUBLIC COMMENT , SO STAY UP HERE.

YOU SAY THAT.

AND I GUESS MY QUESTION IS ABOUT THE 11,000 SQUARE FOOT FACILITY.

I'M CURIOUS ABOUT WHERE THE PARKING IS.

I SAW IT IN THE FRONT, BUT FOR MIXED USE RETAIL, I DON'T SEE, I THINK WHEN THEY HAD, YOU CAN CLARIFY THIS ON THE ORIGINAL THAT HE'S ACTUALLY PUTTING MORE PARKING IN THERE THAN IS REQUIRED.

IS THAT CORRECT? YOU MEANT THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS.

UH, THERE'S ALSO PARKING BEHIND THE BUILDINGS, UHHUH , UH, BEING INCLUDED.

UH, AND THEN THERE'S SOME TUCK UNDER PARKING OFF THE ALLEY FOR SOME OF THOSE UNITS OVER THERE.

IT'S HARD TO SEE IN THIS DRAWING, BUT YES.

AND I'M, I'M SORRY YOU WEREN'T THAT, YOU DIDN'T KNOW THAT, BUT YES.

DO WE HAVE A DRAWING THAT WE CAN, I DON'T KNOW THAT WE HAD A DRAWING OF THE PARKING.

DID WE? WE HAD A, WE HAD A, WE HAD A DRAWING FROM THE PREVIOUS, DID IT SHOW THE PARKING WHEN WE CASEY CAME BEFORE? MIGHT THE SITE PLAN, I DON'T KNOW IF WE'D HAVE IT HANDY.

A SITE PLAN? OH NO, NO, NOT NOW.

BUT CAN WE GET IT TO SURE, YEAH, WE CAN DO THAT.

YEAH, WE CAN DO THAT.

ANYONE ELSE HAD ANY PUBLIC COMMENT? YES SIR.

COME ON DOWN AND INTRODUCE YOURSELF.

THANKS VERY LEONARD SCOTT, THE LADY ASKED A VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION 'CAUSE THERE'S ONLY THREE PARKING SPOTS RIGHT THERE.

AND YOU'VE GOT APARTMENTS, YOU'VE GOT A RESTAURANT AND ALL THAT.

AND NOW WE HEAR IT'S GONNA BE IN THE ALLEY AND IT'S GONNA BE BEHIND.

WHERE IS THE CHART THAT SHOWS WHERE THE PARKING'S GONNA BE TO MAKE UP, UP FOR ALL OF THIS? HOW WE'VE GOT EIGHT PEOPLE, 10 PEOPLE PLUS RESTAURANT OFFICES, AND THERE'S NO PARKING.

SIR, THE, THAT CHART WAS PRESENTED WHEN THIS APPLICATION ORIGINALLY CAME TO THE COUNCIL.

WE SAW, I SAW IT, SIR.

BUT YOU DIDN'T SHOW THE PARKING.

YES, IT DID.

SORRY.

YES IT DID.

DID YOU NEED A COPY? THEY SAID I'LL GIVE YOU A COPY SO YOU CAN GIVE SIR.

I SIR, THIS APPLICATION RIGHT NOW WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE TIFF.

WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT THE PARKING, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE TIFF APPLICATION THAT'S IN FRONT OF US.

AND I UNDERSTAND THE CITY DID LANDSCAPE, THE LARK.

THEN I HAVE THE QUESTION, THEN YOU'RE TELLING ME, SO YOU'RE LETTING ALL OF US KNOW HERE THAT THIS IS NOT GONNA COST THE CITY ONE RED SCENT.

IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE TELLING US RIGHT NOW? ALL OF THE, ALL OF THE BUILDINGS, ALL EVERYTHING IS, I SEE RIGHT THERE.

DOES THE CITY PAY FOR ANY OF THAT? I'M ASKING A QUESTION.

DO YOU WANNA, SIR, THERE'S, THERE'S A, I I'LL, I'LL ANSWER THE QUESTION.

IT'S NOT THIS, THIS, THIS, I ANSWER WOULD LIKE THE ANSWER.

I FEEL THERE'S NOT A LOT OF ROOM UP THERE, SO I DON'T WELL, OKAY, THAT'S THE FIRST QUESTION IS DOES ANY OF OUR TAXPAYER DOLLARS GO TO THAT? ANYTHING IN WE'VE SEEN RIGHT THERE.

I'M TALKING ABOUT THE PAVEMENT, I'M TALKING ABOUT THE LIGHTING, I'M TALKING ABOUT ALL OF IT.

DOES THE CITY PAY? WE CITIZENS PAY FOR ANY OF THAT? NOW I UNDERSTAND.

I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THIS TIF BUSINESS.

I I KIND OF GET IT AND I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE GONNA, BUT I REMEMBER THE MARK DOWN THERE IN ABOUT FOUR WEEKS AGO.

WE WERE TALKING ABOUT WE WERE GOING TO BE, UH, LANDSCAPING THE LARK.

[00:55:02]

THAT'S CITY.

THAT'S MY MONEY.

THAT LANDSCAPED THAT.

AM I INCORRECT, SIR? WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT THE LARK TONIGHT, BUT IT, WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT THE LARK TONIGHT.

OKAY, SIR.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE TIF PROPOSAL THAT'S IN FRONT OF US.

SO THE TIF PROPOSAL THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT IS A TIF PROPOSAL OF THE LARK.

SO IT'S SAME, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FOR 1 0 3 BROADWAY, L L L C.

THAT IS WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TONIGHT.

SO THE BOTTOM LINE IS, ALL I WANNA FIND OUT IS, ARE WE PAYING TAXPAYERS PAYING ONE RED PENNY FOR THIS BECAUSE WE'RE SUPPOSED TO GET IT ALL BACK AND HIGHER TAXES AND ALL THAT.

I WANNA KNOW TONIGHT, IS ANY CITY PAC PAYER GONNA BE PAYING FOR ANY OF THIS IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS? WHO WANTS TO, AND THAT'S A SIMPLE QUESTION, I HOPE ANSWER TONIGHT.

THANK YOU SIR.

COUNSEL, THE NEXT ITEM IS A CONSIDERATION.

APPROVAL'S GONNA ANSWER THE QUESTION.

I I'M SITTING DOWN BECAUSE HE WAS GONNA GET UP AND ANSWER THE QUESTION.

ANDY, DO YOU HAVE AN ANSWER? BECAUSE THIS IS A CONSTRUCTION PROJECT, SO YEAH, MAYOR AND I IT'S FROM YOUR, JUST TO, BY WAY OF CONVEYING INFORMATION FOR THE PARKING, I LOOKED UP THE, UM, WHAT WAS APPROVED AT YOUR LAST MEETING FOR THE COMMERCIAL SITE PLAN.

AND WHAT WAS REQUIRED IS 24 PARKING SPACES AND 24 PARKING SPACES WERE, UM, ALLOCATED FOR THIS AS PART OF THIS PROJECT.

SO HOW THE FUNDING FOR 1 0 3 BROADWAY WORKS IS THE DEVELOPER FRONTS ALL OF THE COSTS FOR THE PROJECT, WHICH IS A TOTAL OF $12 MILLION, $9 MILLION OF THAT ARE RELATED TO THE CONSTRUCTION COST OVER THE LIFE OF THE TIF.

IT'S CONTEMPLATED THAT 90% OF THE MONEY, THE ADDITIONAL PROPERTY TAX GENERATED FROM THE PROJECT, WE GO BACK TO THE DEVELOPER.

AND IT'S NOT WITH FROM THE CITY, IT'S FROM THE TIP.

IT'S THE, IT'S THE ADDITIONAL PROPERTY TAXES THAT ARE GENERATED FROM, FROM THE PROPERTY TAX.

FROM THE THE PROPERTY TAX INCREASE.

FROM THE DEVELOPMENT.

AND IF, IF IT'S NOT UP TO 1.08 MIL, WHAT THEN THEY JUST ONLY GET THE PERCENTAGE OF WHAT IT'S 90% OF WHATEVER'S GENERATED? CORRECT MA'AM.

SO ZERO TAXPAYER DOLLARS.

SO TO ANSWER HIS QUESTION DIRECTLY, SO WE'RE CRYSTAL CLEAR, HE ASKED IF THERE WAS ONE PENNY OF CITY DOLLARS GOING TOWARDS THIS PROJECT.

I I MEAN YES.

THERE ISN'T THERE HOW THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT IS SET UP THEN I GUESS IF YOU WANT TO USE SEMANTICS, THEN YOU COULD SAY YES, I DON'T WANNA USE SEMANTICS.

I JUST WANT TO ANSWER YES.

MONEY IS GOING BACK.

THIS IS, THIS IS HOW TAX INCREMENT FINANCING WORKS.

SO, SO MONEY IS GOING BACK THAT IS GENERATED FROM THE PROJECT TO THE DEVELOPER.

SO PROPERTY TAX IS GENERATED IN AN INCREMENTAL FASHION, CORRECT? IT IS PAID TO THE CITY.

WE NORMALLY GET ZERO PROPERTY TAX, RIGHT? CORRECT.

SO THOSE MONIES ARE PAID TO THE CITY OF EDMOND, THE CITY OF EDMOND.

IN THIS AGREEMENT SAYS WE WILL REIMBURSE THE DEVELOPER FOR EXPENSES FOR INFRASTRUCTURE, STREET SCAPE, LIGHTING, SIDEWALKS, PARKING UP TO $1,000,080.

SO TO TECHNICALLY, THE MONEY'S COMING FROM THE COUNTY TO THE CITY OF EDMOND AND PROPERTY TAX, WHICH WE NORMALLY GET ZERO.

AND WE ARE REIMBURSING FOR EXPENSES.

SO I THINK, YOU KNOW, TRYING TO GET AWAY FROM SEMANTICS, UM, TECHNICALLY THAT'S HOW IT'S FLOWING.

RIGHT? RIGHT.

BUT IT IS NOT TAXPAYER DOLLARS FROM THE CITY OF ADMIN THAT ARE GOING TO THE DEVELOPER TO DO THIS.

AND THE INCREASE IN THAT PROPERTY TAXES PAID BY THE DEVELOPER.

THE DEVELOPER AND YEAH.

AND THERE'S MORE GO AHEAD.

MANAGER, CITY MANAGER.

THE SIMPLE WAY I SAY IS THEY ARE REIMBURSED FOR PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS THEY, THAT WE ALL BENEFIT FROM.

THEY TAKE A RISK, MEANING THEY'RE GONNA UPFRONT THE COST AND BASED ON WHATEVER THEY GENERATE OF THEIR OWN PROPERTY TAX REQUIRED TO PAY BY THIS DEVELOPMENT ARE REIMBURSED BY THE COUNTY VIA US BACK TO THEM.

AND THEN I, I'LL JUST CAUTION, YES, THIS IS A CONSTRUCTION PROJECT AND SO THERE MAY BE SOME UNFORESEEN THINGS THAT MIGHT BE THERE THAT MIGHT AFFECT THE CITY'S INVOLVEMENT.

AND THAT HAPPENS ON ANY CONSTRUCTION PROJECT THAT'S OUT THERE.

THERE MIGHT BE SOME UNFORESEEN THINGS.

SO TO SAY THAT ABSOLUTE 100% I'VE NEVER SEEN THAT WE'RE, WE'RE NOT GONNA BE BACKED INTO A CORNER.

THAT THAT'S HOW A GIF WORKS.

WE'RE TRYING TO BE TRANSPARENT

[01:00:01]

THAT'S HOW IT WORKS.

BUT THAT'S HOW GIF WORKS.

SO I THINK THE OTHER THING TO KEEP IN MIND RIGHT NOW IS THERE'S $3,200 BEING PAID IN PROPERTY TAX, BUT FOR THIS ARRANGEMENT, THAT'S WHERE IT WOULD SIT AND THAT WOULD BE EMPTY.

THESE MONIES THAT ARE FLOWING FROM THE COUNTY TO THE CITY BACK TO REIMBURSE THE DEVELOPER ARE PROPERTY TAXES PAID BY THAT DEVELOPER.

THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY.

SO THAT'S THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION.

WE'RE NOT GONNA ANSWER IT IN THREE WORDS.

AND, AND THAT'S WHY I, AND THANK YOU MR. CONYERS FOR MR. MANAGER, PUT THIS GROUP TOGETHER SO THERE'S JUST MORE SUNSHINE ON IT.

AND EVERYBODY KNOWS THE ANSWER.

YES, SIR.

THANKS, ANDY.

WELL, WE STILL HAVE A QUESTION ON THE PARKING.

HE JUST, HE'S SAID 24 SPOTS.

THERE'S 24 SPOTS.

SORRY, THIS, THERE'S NO QUESTION ON THE PARKING FOR THIS APPLICATION THERE.

NO, THERE'S NOT.

HE SAID 24 PARKING SPOTS.

24 PARKING SPOTS.

THAT'S SAID 24 WE REQUIRE AND THEY'RE BEING PROVIDED, BUT THAT IS NOT WHAT, WHAT WE'RE DISCUSSING TONIGHT, SIR.

THE LADY , HOLD ON JUST A SECOND HERE.

HOLD ON, HOLD ON.

GO AHEAD.

THIS YOUNG MAN.

EXCUSE ME, SIR, I'M SPEAKING.

I HAVE THE FLOOR.

THAT COLLABORATION HAS HAPPENING, AND THEN ONGOING, I KNOW, UM, CONVERSATIONS WITH OUR COUNTY AND WITH OUR, UH, DELEGATION WITH OUR FEDERAL PARTNERS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE MAXIMIZING THAT.

WAIT A MINUTE, WAIT A MINUTE.

ORDER.

I HAVE THE FLOOR.

WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT PARKING.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE TIF APPLICATION THAT'S IN FRONT OF US.

IF YOU CANNOT TALK ABOUT THE TIF APPLICATION IN FRONT OF US, THEN YOU HAVE NOTHING TO SAY RIGHT NOW.

NO.

SO YOU ARE USING ROBERT RULES OF ORDER.

I AM USING MY, I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND THAT.

THANK YOU, SIR.

COUNSEL, WE'RE MOVING ON TO ITEM NUMBER FOUR, WHICH IS A CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT WITH THE OKLAHOMA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION FOR ELECTRIC UTILITY RELOCATION FOR $1,066,289 AND 31 CENTS, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR.

I HOPE YOU APPRECIATE THE BREVITY OF MY AGENDA TITLE.

UM, SO NOTED, SHOCKING, DISCOVERS AN AGREEMENT WITH THE OKLAHOMA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, UH, ODOT.

THEY ARE PLANNING A PROJECT, AN UPCOMING PROJECT THAT WILL CONVERT THE, UH, TWO-WAY ACCESS ROADS BETWEEN SECOND AND 33RD STREET TO ONE-WAY ACCESS AND ALSO PROVIDE TURNAROUND LANES, UH, OFF OF 15TH AND 33RD.

TO FACILITATE THAT, WE HAVE TO RELOCATE SOME OF OUR OVERHEAD EXISTING PRIMARY LINES, DISAGREEMENT OUTLINES TO RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE PARTIES, AND ALSO OUTLINES THAT, UH, ODOT WILL REIMBURSE ADMIN ELECTRIC FOR THE ONE ESTIMATED $1.1 MILLION PROJECT COSTS.

UM, WE, ONCE WE GET ON SITE TO START OUR WORK, WE HAVE A ROUGHLY 90 DAY PROJECT, PRETTY SHORT PROJECT.

I WILL PUT TWO CAVEATS ON THAT.

FIRST OF ALL, OF COURSE, IS OKLAHOMA WEATHER.

UH, SECOND OF ALL IS AVAILABILITY OF MATERIALS.

UM, THAT'S ALWAYS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH US FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS.

I DON'T THINK IT'S GOING TO IMPACT THIS PROJECT BECAUSE ODOT SCHEDULE IS TO LET THIS FORBID IN SEPTEMBER OF 2024.

SO BASICALLY ONE YEAR FROM TODAY, THEY'LL BE LETTING US BID.

THEY EXPECT CONSTRUCTION TO BEGIN IN JANUARY OR FEBRUARY OF 2025.

AND THEY EXPECT THIS TO BE ABOUT A 360 TO 420 DAY CONSTRUCTION PROJECT.

SO WE SHOULD HAVE OUR WORK DONE IN PLENTY OF TIME TO FACILITATE THIS PROJECT.

AND, UM, THIS HAS BEEN REVIEWED BY LEGAL, UM, AND STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THIS AGREEMENT.

YEAH, THIS IS ONE THING WE HAVE TO REMEMBER, THAT WHENEVER WE HAVE MAJOR ROAD PROJECTS LIKE THIS, ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS THAT WE HAVE TO DO IS TO MOVE UTILITIES BEFORE AND BEFORE THINGS START HAPPENING.

COUNSEL, ANY QUESTIONS FOR HER? SO, JUST A COMMENT.

I KNOW SOMETIMES AS YOU LOOK AT THE AGENDA, IT CAN BE TECHNICAL IN NATURE OR HAVE DIFFERENT WORDS IN IT.

AND SO FOR SORT OF THE, THE PUBLIC WHO DOESN'T GEEK OUT TO THE STUFF LIKE I DO, THE NUMBER ONE THING THAT HAS SHOWN UP CONSISTENTLY, AND I REMEMBER MEETING WITH THE FORMER CITY MANAGER, LARRY STEVENS, AND THE PUBLIC SURVEY OF OUR CITIZENS FOR THE LAST NUMBER OF YEARS HAS ALWAYS BEEN TRANSPORTATION, TRAFFIC OR CONGESTION.

AND SO WAY BEFORE I GOT HERE, THE LEADERSHIP DECIDED, UH, TO ENGAGE AND ENSURE THAT WE WERE ON WHAT'S CALLED, UH, THE OKLAHOMA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION'S EIGHT YEAR ROAD PLAN.

AND BECAUSE OF THAT INVESTMENT IN RELATIONSHIPS AND TIME, UM, WE WERE ABLE TO GET ON THAT AND HAVE THOSE INTERCHANGES ADDRESSED.

AND SO THIS, AS THE MAYOR ALLUDED TO, IS THAT FIRST STEP IN RELOCATING OUR UTILITIES.

BUT HOPEFULLY THAT DOESN'T GET LOST IN THAT ONE OF THE NUMBER ONE PRIORITIES THAT HAS BEEN REPEATEDLY ASKED FOR AND FLAGGED, UM, AS A TOP ITEM ITEM FOR US TO PAY ATTENTION TO.

THROUGH

[01:05:01]

BUT, UM, I JUST WANTED TO THANK THE, THE VISION OF THE COUNCIL BEFORE WHO PUT IN THAT LEADERSHIP AND IN RECOGNITION OF WHAT'S COMING AHEAD ON THE ROAD, PUN INTENDED.

UH, BUT THAT'S THE LEGAL THING THAT'S HAPPENING.

BUT THE REAL THING THAT'S HAPPENING IS WE'RE GETTING SIGNIFICANT OVER THE NEXT COUPLE YEARS, MULTIMILLION DOLLAR UPGRADES TO OUR INTERCHANGE SYSTEM ON, UH, HIGHWAY 35 IN OUR MAJOR CORRIDORS.

, WHICH WILL THEN HOPEFULLY BE MATCHED WITH OUR INTERNAL ARTERIES WITH A PLAN THAT WE'RE WORKING ON WITH OUR COUNTY, OUR CITY, AND, UH, AREA, EDMOND AREA ON THAT.

THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH.

THANKS, GLENN.

YEP.

CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL FOR THE FINAL PLATT FOR KELLY POINT APARTMENTS, A K A, THE PURE AT KELLY POINT TO BE LOCATED NORTH OF WEST 33RD STREET ON THE WEST SIDE OF KELLY AVENUE.

E R C BUILDING COMPANY IS THE APPLICANT'S APPLICANT HERE.

UH, THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING APPROVAL OF A FINAL PLATT FOR THE PURE, UH, APARTMENT COMPLEX ON KELLY POINT NORTH OF 33RD STREET.

UH, THE PLATT IS ONE LOT COVERING 12.38 ACRES.

UM, IT HAS ONE ENTRY ON THE KELLY AND A FUTURE CONNECTION TO THE SOUTH WITH, UH, TO FUTURE DEVELOPMENT.

UH, THE P U D AND SITE PLAN WERE BOTH RECENTLY APPROVED AND THE PLATT CONFORMS TO THOSE THERE ARE NO VARIANCES REQUESTED AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED APPROVAL AT THEIR AUGUST 8TH MEETING.

COUNSEL, ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? REFRESH MY MEMORY.

THIS, THIS PROPERTY WAS REZONED 'CAUSE IT WAS INITIALLY LIGHT INDUSTRIAL, CORRECT? YES, CORRECT.

WOULD THE APPLICANT LIKE TO ADD ANYTHING? I WOULD NOT.

COUNSEL, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS FROM THE AUDIENCE? YES, MA'AM.

PLEASE COME AND INTRODUCE YOURSELF.

CONNIE BEAR, I JUST WANNA ASK, UH, WHEN DO YOU GUYS FORESEE THE ADDITION, THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT AND THAT, UM, OTHER CONNECTION? WE, WE HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING THAT, AND THAT'S A PRIVATELY HELD PROPERTY.

YOU'D HAVE TO GO NORTH, MEANDER BACK INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AND THEN MEANDER ALL THE WAY BACK SOUTH.

YES, MA'AM.

PLEASE COME DOWN AND INTRODUCE YOURSELF.

MY NAME IS ASHLEY HALL.

I'M JUST CURIOUS, UM, BECAUSE I, I KNOW THAT INTERSECTION AREA IS KIND OF A LOT OF TRAFFIC IN THAT AREA.

HOW IS THAT GOING TO BE ADDRESSED WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT? THE PEOPLE GOING IN AND OUT OF THIS COMPLEX IN THAT KELLY AND 33RD AREA ALREADY? PRETTY CONGESTED.

RIGHT? THERE WAS A, UH, TRAFFIC STUDY SUBMITTED AND APPROVED BY OUR ENGINEERING STAFF WITH THE SITE PLAN.

I, I, UNFORTUNATELY, I DON'T REMEMBER THE DETAILS OF THAT RIGHT NOW.

UH, THAT WAS SEVERAL MONTHS AGO.

UH, BUT THEY ARE GOING TO ADDRESS IT SOMEHOW OR, YES.

UH, THEY'RE NOT GONNA BE ANY NEW ROADS REMEMBER, UH, CREATED.

MARK SITS OUT WITH JOHNSON AND ASSOCIATES ADDRESS IS ONE EAST SHERIDAN AVENUE.

UH, RANDY'S CORRECT.

WE DID SUBMIT, UH, A TRAFFIC STUDY.

UH, ULTIMATELY WHAT IT SHOWED WAS THAT WHEN KELLY POINT WAS INITIALLY MASTER PLANNED, THE NECESSARY TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENTS WERE CREATED AND INSTALLED TO HANDLE THIS DEVELOPMENT.

SO, UH, THERE WERE NO ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC SIGNALS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, THAT WAS REQUIRED FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT.

NOW THIS DEVELOPMENT HAS MULTIPLE, UH, MEANS OF INGRESS AND EGRESS, UH, AND THE ONES ALONG KELLY ARE ALREADY SIGNALED MM-HMM.

AND THERE IS A SMALL COLLECTOR STREET THAT DOES GO INTO THE HIDDEN VALLEY OR HIDDEN PRAIRIE.

THAT'S CORRECT.

AND OUR TRAP ANALYSIS, YOU KNOW, IT'S A LOT OF PROJECTIONS AND NUMBERS, BUT IT SEEMED THE MOST UNLIKELY PATH FOR RESIDENTS OF THIS DEVELOPMENT TO TRAVEL TO GET OUT TO 33RD.

IT WAS ABOUT TWO THIRDS OF A LONGER DISTANCE TO GO BACK THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO GET TO 33RD THAN GOING OUT TO KELLY AND TURNING RIGHT ONTO 33RD.

AND YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THAT ON HERE.

[01:10:01]

AND YOU CAN ACTUALLY TURN RIGHT OR LEFT ON 33RD.

'CAUSE THERE'S IMMEDIATE CORRECT.

IT TAKES IT OUT SOUTH ON 33RD, BUT IT, IT IS DIFFICULT.

, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE AUDIENCE? COUNSEL, WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO ON THIS ITEM? UH, MOVE TO APPROVE.

MOTION TO SECOND.

THIS ONE'S DIFFICULT FOR ME BECAUSE WE, WE GAVE UP SOME LIGHT INDUSTRIAL.

BUT IT'S IS A MULTIFAMILY ITEM PASSED.

ITEM IS CASE NUMBER DD TWO THREE DASH 0 0 0 2.

[B. Case No. DD23-00002; Consideration of Approval for a Lot Split / Deed Certification for 301 E Lincoln, located at Lincoln and Jackson. (Handmade Homes LLC; Ward 1)]

CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL FOR A LOT SPLIT DEEDED CERTIFICATION FOR 3 0 1 EAST LINCOLN.

LOCATED AT LINCOLN IN JACKSON HANDMADE HOMES.

LLCS, THE APPLICANT IS THE APPLICANT HERE.

AS YOU SAID, THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING APPROVAL OF A LOT SPLIT, CREATING FOUR LOTS ON AT 3 0 1 EAST LINCOLN, JUST SOUTH OF THE BRADFORD VILLAGE SENIOR HOUSING COMPLEX.

UH, THE SITE IS ZONE C TWO MEDIUM DENSITY MULTIFAMILY, WHICH ALLOWS 12 UNITS PER ACRE, WHICH WOULD EQUATE TO, UH, EIGHT UNITS HERE.

AND A, UM, WITH A MINIMUM OF 3,500 SQUARE FOOT PER LOT.

UH, THE LOTS IN THIS CASE WILL BE TWO LOTS, WILL BE 6,050 SQUARE FEET AND TWO LOTS WILL BE 7,600 SQUARE FEET.

UH, THE PROPERTY IS PART OF THE NORMAL HEIGHTS EDITION, UH, WHICH IS WHY IT'S IN FRONT OF CITY COUNCIL TONIGHT.

THE ORDINANCE REQUIRES ANYTHING A LOT SPLIT IN AN EXISTING RESIDENTIALLY PLATTED NEIGHBORHOOD TO COME TO CITY COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL.

UH, JUST SO YOU KNOW, ALL THE LOTS HAVE ACCESS TO UTILITIES, UH, PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED APPROVAL AT THEIR AUGUST 8TH MEETING.

COUNSEL, ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF APPLICANT LIKE TO ADD ANYTHING? NO, SIR.

COUNSEL, ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? ANY QUESTIONS? UM, I'M JUST CURIOUS, YOU KNOW, WE, WE, WITH THE HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT RECENTLY AS WELL AS, UM, OUR U L I STUDY, UM, JUST KIND OF IS IT ANTICIPATED THAT THESE, UM, PROPERTIES WILL BE FOR SALE FOR RENT, A BLEND OF BOTH, KIND OF WHAT SIZE WILL THE UNITS BE? IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S GONNA MEET THE NEEDS OF SOME, SOME TYPES OF PRODUCTS IN THE MARKET THAT WE DON'T HAVE VERY MUCH OF.

SO I JUST THOUGHT I WOULD LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT THAT A LITTLE.

SURE.

MARK.

IT'S OUT WITH JOHNSON ASSOCIATES MONEY SHERIDAN AVENUE.

UH, RIGHT NOW IT'S ANTICIPATED TO BE FOR SALE PRODUCT.

UH, AND PENDING THIS APPROVAL, THE DESIGNER WILL BE ABLE TO BE KICKED OFF ON THE HOME DESIGNS.

UH, SO WE ANTICIPATE THAT THEY'RE OF SIMILAR SIZE TO THE HOME THAT IS THERE TODAY.

THAT ONE WILL BE REMAINING, WHICH IS WHY THAT LOT WAS DRAWN THAT WAY.

AND THEN THERE WILL BE THREE NEW HOMES ADDED.

BUT AS SOON AS WE, UH, GET THOSE DETAILS, I'D BE HAPPY TO SEND 'EM OVER TO YOU.

BUT THEY'RE NOT GONNA BE 4,000 SQUARE FOOT, THEY'RE NOT ANTICIPATED , THEY'RE, YES.

BUT SOMETHING IN MORE, POTENTIALLY A STARTER HOME FOR SOMEONE.

W UH, ONCE I HAVE THAT, I, I DON'T WANNA OKAY.

I DON'T WANNA HOLD YOU TO IT, BUT YEAH, WE HAVEN'T SEEN THOSE PLANS, BUT I WILL GET THEM TO YOU WHEN WE HAVE THEM.

BUT IT IS NICE TO HAVE PROJECTS ON OUR AGENDA THAT ARE MEETING SOME OF THE HOUSING ATTAINABILITY AND NEEDS THAT HAVE BEEN INDICATED.

SO THANK YOU.

YEP.

ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE AUDIENCE? THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE AUDIENCE? COUNSEL, WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO JOIN THIS ITEM? MOTION TO APPROVE SECOND.

UH, MR. APPROVE.

IS CASE NUMBER Z TWO THREE DASH 0 0 0 1 1.

[C. Case No. Z23-00011; Public Hearing and Consideration of Ordinance No. ___ Rezoning from “E-LU” General Commercial Limited Use to “PUD” Planned Unit Development for Handmade Mixed-Use, Southwest of West Edmond Road and Kelly Avenue. (Handmade Properties LLC; Ward 3)]

PUBLIC HEARING CONSIDERATION OF ORDINANCE NUMBER 49 71 39 71 REZONING FROM E L U GENERAL COMMERCIAL LIMITED USE TO P U D PLAN UNIT DEVELOPMENT FOR HANDMADE MIXED USE NORTHWEST OF WEST EDMOND ROAD AND KELLY AVENUE HANDMADE PROPERTIES.

L S C IS THE APPLICANT.

FOOT BUFFER AND SETBACK IS ALSO, UH, PUT INTO THE P U D FOR THAT WEST SIDE.

APPLICANT IS REQUESTING APPROVAL OF A P U D FOR A MIXED USE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT ON THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF EDMUND ROAD AND KELLY AVENUE.

UH, THE SITE IS CURRENTLY ZONED E L U GENERAL COMMERCIAL LIMITED USE, WHICH IS A RARELY USED DISTRICT THAT WAS IN, IN, WAS INTENDED TO ALLOW APPLICANTS TO CRAFT THE USES AND LIMIT THEM TO JUST A FEW.

AT THIS POINT, IT IS LIMITED TO A FUNERAL HOME USE ONLY.

ALTHOUGH THE SITE IS VACANT.

UH, THE SURROUNDING ZONING AND USES INCLUDE COMMERCIAL USES TO THE NORTHEAST AND SOUTH AND RESIDENTIAL TO THE WEST.

UH, BECAUSE OF THAT, A 45

[01:15:01]

UH, USES INCLUDED ARE COMMERCIAL AND OFFICE, INCLUDING RETAIL SALES AND SERVICES.

HOWEVER, THINGS LIKE DISPENSARIES WERE NOT ALLOWED IN THE P U D.

UH, THE P U D ALSO ALLOWS FLEX OFFICE WAREHOUSE SPACE, UH, THAT DO NOT ALLOW OUTDOOR STORAGE, UH, FURTHER LIMITED TO THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE SITE, LEAVING THE FRONTAGE FOR RETAIL AND MORE TRADITIONAL OFFICE USES.

UH, THE P U D WILL ALLOW THE 3.7 ACRE SITE TO BE DEVELOPED WITH COMMERCIAL OFFICE AND RETAIL, LIKE I SAID, BUT IT DOES INCLUDE THAT BUFFER ON THE WEST PRESERVING THE EXISTING VEGETATION TO SCREEN COPPERFIELD NEIGHBORHOOD.

UH, IT ALSO SPECIFIES LIGHTING DETAILS THAT REQUIRE DOWN LIGHTING DIRECTED AWAY FROM THE WEST PROPERTY LINE.

UH, THE EDMUND PLAN 2018 DESIGNATES THE SITE, A SUBURBAN COMMERCIAL, WHICH ENCOURAGES RETAIL AND OFFICE USES IN SMALL TO MEDIUM ONE STORY STRUCTURES, OFTEN AT THE INTERSECTIONS OF ARTERIAL ROADS, WHICH IS WHAT THIS P D P U D CONTEMPLATES, UH, PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED APPROVAL AT THEIR AUGUST 8TH MEETING.

HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS? UH, YEAH, I, I, I DO DO HAVE ONE QUESTION ON THE EGRESS INTO THIS, UH, PROPERTY.

SO WHEN WE LOOK ON AN EDMUND ROW, THERE'S GONNA BE POTENTIALLY 1, 2, 3, 4 CUTOUTS.

THE, 'CAUSE WE HAVE THREE FOOT, WE HAVE ONE WITH, UH, THE RESTAURANT AND TWO WITH THE GAS STATION.

AT THE TIME OF THEIR DEVELOPMENT, I DON'T BELIEVE CROSS ACCESS WAS ACHIEVED.

SO THE PROPERTY OWNER HERE HAS WORKED TO ALIGN HIS DRIVEWAY WITH THE ONE ACROSS THE STREET, UH, AND THEY'RE CONTINUING TO WORK ON CROSS ACCESS WITH THE PROPERTIES TO THE NORTH AND SOUTH OF, I BELIEVE THE REPRESENTATIVE CAN PROBABLY SPEAK TO THAT.

AND THEN ON KELLY, WE'RE GONNA HAVE 1, 2, 3, 4, MAYBE 5, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, UH, CUTOUTS ON KELLY, BECAUSE WE HAVE THE ONE FROM THE GAS STATION.

THEN WE HAVE THE OIL CHANGE PLACE, AND THEN WE HAVE, UH, THE CHICKEN PLACE.

I THINK I MIGHT'VE MISUNDERSTOOD YOUR FIRST COMMENT ON EDMOND ROAD.

THERE'S NO CONNECTION FROM THE, FOR THIS ONE ONTO EDMOND ROAD.

UH, THEY DO HAVE FRONTAGE, BUT THEY DON'T, THEY WILL NOT HAVE A DRIVE ON CLEON ROAD.

THEY NOT.

SO EVERYTHING'S GOING TO COME OFF OF KELLY.

AND ONE OF THOSE DRIVES FOR THE GAS STATION IS BEING REMOVED AS A REQUIREMENT FOR THEIR SITE PLAN.

SO EDMOND ROAD IS ACTUALLY IMPROVING IN THE LONG RUN.

KELLY WILL HAVE ANOTHER DRIVE SERVING THIS DEVELOPMENT.

OOH, THAT AREA IS SO CONGESTED.

I'M SORRY, I, I MISSED WHO'S THE REPRESENTATIVE FOR THIS? RIGHT HERE.

UM, CAN I ASK YOU? WELL, YES.

COME ON UP J A LITTLE BIT OF A COMMENT, BUT A QUESTION TOO.

SO I NOTICED YOU ALREADY TALKED ABOUT THE, THE LIGHT NOISE WE'LL BE FACING DOWN, YOU'LL HAVE THE TREE BUFFER ALL ALONG THAT WEST SIDE.

WAS THERE A COMMUNITY OUTREACH MEETING WITH COPPERFIELD? UM, OR DID YOU GUYS JUST DO ALL THAT ON YOUR OWN? JUST OUTTA RESPECT FOR THE COMMUNITY? SO WE, WHEN WE FILED THE APPLICATION AND AFTER PUBLIC NOTICE WAS SENT OUT, WE DID NOT HEAR FROM ANYONE.

SO THERE WAS NOT A NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING HELD ON THIS.

WELL THEN I RESPECT YOU AND I APPLAUD YOU FOR DOING THAT ALL ON YOUR OWN.

THAT'S GONNA MAKE IT BEAUTIFUL THERE.

AND IT'LL KEEP A BUFFER WITH THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.

UH, THANK YOU.

AND TO QUICKLY ADDRESS THE ACCESS, UH, RANDY'S CORRECT.

WE'RE NOT TAKING ACCESS FROM EDMOND ROAD.

OUR P U D DOES NOT ALLOW IT.

SO EVEN IF THE SITE PLAN SHIFTED, UH, THAT IS NOT A PERMITTED ACCESSIBLE ROUTE IN THE P U D.

UH, AND THEN PART OF THE REASON THIS APPLICATION'S BEFORE YOU, ASIDE FROM IT ONLY BEING PERMITTED FOR A FUNERAL HOME, UH, WAS, UH, OUR CLIENT IS TALKING TO, UH, FOOD OR RESTAURANT USERS.

AND WITHOUT HAVING THE P U D IN PLACE, THERE WAS NO ACCESS PERMITTED TO THIS TRACT BECAUSE OF WHAT THE SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS STATE.

AND SO WE WORKED WITH ENGINEERING FOR QUITE SOME TIME TO WORK OUT LANGUAGE TO ALLOW FOR ONE ACCESS POINT FROM KELLY.

OUR CLIENT HAS CONTINUED TO WORK WITH SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNERS TO TRY AND ACHIEVE CROSS ACCESS.

I THINK, UH, IT'LL ENHANCE THE DEVELOPMENT MM-HMM.

AND HELP ALLEVIATE, UH, SOME FUTURE CODE ISSUES WITH FIRE WHEN WE GET TO THE SITE PLAN STAGE.

UH, BUT TO THIS POINT, WE'VE NOT BEEN ABLE, UH, TO ACHIEVE THAT.

IT'S UNFORTUNATE THAT OLDER DEVELOPMENTS, YOU KNOW, EDMOND HAS MUCH BETTER REGULATIONS TODAY THAN IN THE PAST, WHICH WOULD'VE PREVENTED A LOT OF THOSE ACCESS POINTS FROM OCCURRING.

AND SO WE'RE HOPEFUL THAT WITH JUST THE ONE AND HOPEFULLY FUTURE CROSS ACCESS, WE CAN HELP ALLEVIATE AND IMPROVE CIRCULATION, HELP WITH THE CONNECTIVITY OF THOSE BUSINESSES.

SO THAT WILL BE A QUESTION WE WILL CONTINUE TO ASK THAT WILL BE HELPFUL, RIGHT AS THIS GOES, IF THIS GOES FORWARD.

ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE AUDIENCE? COUNSEL, WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO ON THIS ITEM? I'D MAKE A MOTION.

, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT?

[01:20:02]

I'LL SECOND A MOTION SECOND.

CASE NUMBER E S TWO THREE DASH 0 1 1 PUBLIC HEARING IN CONSIDERATION.

[D. Case No. ES23-00011; Public Hearing and Consideration of Ordinance No. ___ Closing a Portion of a Drainage Easement Located at 1009 Huntsman Road. (Misty & Austin Baker; Ward 4)]

ORDINANCE NUMBER 39 72.

39 72 CLOSING A PORTION OF A DRAINAGE EASEMENT LOCATED AT 1 0 0 9 HUNTSMAN ROAD.

MISTY AND AUSTIN BAKER OR THE APPLICANT? UH, OKAY.

VERY GOOD.

THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING TO CLOSE A PORTION OF A DRAINAGE EASEMENT ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE PROPERTY.

A SMALL PORTION OF THE HOME WAS CONSTRUCTED INTO THE EASEMENT.

AND, UH, A CLOSING IS NEEDED TO CLEAR TITLE FOR THIS PROPERTY AS IT COMES UP THERE.

UM, THIS IS A VERY SMALL PORTION OF THE EASEMENT.

UH, AT ITS WIDEST POINT, IT'S 2.79 FEET.

UH, ENGINEERING HAS REVIEWED AND SUPPORTS THE REQUEST PLANNING COMMISSION.

ALSO REVIEWED IT AND RECOMMENDED APPROVAL AT THEIR AUGUST 8TH MEETING.

COUNSEL, ANY QUESTIONS FOR, SO BEING NEW AND, AND I WAS KIND OF SURPRISED THAT ALMOST EVERY OTHER WEEK I GET CONTACTED ON A SORT OF A DRAINAGE ISSUE, OR PARTICULARLY WITH THE RAINS THAT WE HAD OVER THE SUMMER THAT WAS WET.

WHAT LIABILITY, IF ANY, DOES THE CITY WHEN WE, IF WE SUCCESSFULLY PASS THIS AND A FUTURE PROPERTY OWNER SAYS, HEY, UM, I'M HAVING SOME DAMAGE OR SOME WATER, ALL THAT.

WHERE DOES THAT LIABILITY THEN LAND? YOU'RE ASKING ME TO TELL YOU THAT SOMEBODY, I'M ASKING SOMEBODY , BECAUSE I DON'T, I I DON'T KNOW.

WELL, WE DON'T REGULATE LOT TO LOT DRAINAGE BETWEEN TWO LOT OWNERS.

SO THAT'S EACH, EACH INDIVIDUAL LOT OWNER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN DRAINAGE COMING FROM THEIR PROPERTY.

NOW, UNLESS ENGINEERING HAS MORE DETAILS ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR EASEMENT, UM, 'CAUSE I, MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT WE HAD NO OBJECTION TO THE CLOSING OF THE EASEMENT.

SO WE DIDN'T SEE THAT WAS A, A NECESSARY EASEMENT TO MAINTAIN FOR DRAINAGE PURPOSES.

SO BY, I GUESS MY QUESTION IS TO CLARIFY THEN BY CLOSING IT, WE DON'T, WE MEANING THE CITY OF EDMOND DOESN'T TAKE ON ANY LIABILITY SINCE IT'S A LOTTO LOT THING BY A ROOF.

THAT'S MY OPINION.

YES SIR.

APPLICANT LIKE TO ADD ANYTHING? UH, NO.

I'M WITH ABSTRACT COMPANY, SO I'M JUST REPRESENTING.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MA'AM.

ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS FROM THE AUDIENCE? COUNSEL, WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO ON THIS ITEM? MOTION.

AND I PASS.

CASE NUMBER SP 21 DASH 0 0 0 2 0 PUBLIC HEARING CONSIDERATION FOR A SITE PLAN EXTENSION FOR THE CROSS TIMBERS EXPANSION.

ALRIGHT, NEXT ITEM IS

[E. Case No. SP21-00020; Public Hearing and Consideration for a Site Plan Extension for the Cross Timbers Expansion Phase II, Located South of Covell and Old Timbers Drive. (City of Edmond; Ward 2)]

PHASE TWO, LOCATED SOUTH OF COVE IN OLD TIMBERS DRIVE.

THE CITY OF EDMOND IS THE APPLICANT.

IS THE APPLICANT HERE ALL OVER THE PLACE.

UM, PER EDMOND'S ORDINANCE, THE SITE PLAN APPROVAL EXPIRES AFTER 18 MONTHS IF A BUILDING PERMIT HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED.

UH, THE SITE PLAN WAS APPROVED IN OCTOBER OF 21 AND A REQUEST HAS BEEN MADE TO EXTEND THAT APPROVAL.

UH, THE ORIGINAL APPROVAL, UH, OR ORIGINAL SITE PLAN PROPOSED A CAR WASH INTO STORAGE BUILDINGS ON THE CROSS TIMBERS MUNICIPAL COMPLEX.

NO ORDINANCE OR STANDARDS HAVE CHANGED IN THE 18 MONTHS SINCE APPROVAL.

THAT WOULD CHANGE THE REVIEW STATUS OF THIS SITE.

PLAN, UH, PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED APPROVAL AT THEIR AUGUST 8TH MEETING.

, CAN I, ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? SO MY QUESTION IS, I'M, I'M AWARE OF THE NEED.

I'VE BEEN OVER THERE AND, UM, TOWARD THE FACILITY AS PART OF MY ORIENTATION AS FAR AS THE EXPANSION.

AND THE REQUEST ULTIMATELY IS TO HAVE CAR WASHES, UM, AND, UH, EXPANDED CAR WASH THAT WOULD ACCOMMODATE THE FLEET AND THEN STORAGE.

, UM, THE, IT WASN'T BUILT, I GUESS IT HAS TO THIS EXPIRED 'CAUSE IT NORMALLY HAS TO BE DONE WITHIN AN 18 MONTH PERIOD, CORRECT? RIGHT.

A, A BUILDING PERMIT HAS TO BE ISSUED WITHIN THAT 18 MONTHS TERM.

SO IS IT, I GUESS, DO WE HAVE A CLEARER UNDERSTANDING? I THINK AT THE TIME, I'M TRYING TO REMEMBER THE NUMBER THAT I WAS TOLD, EIGHT OR $9 MILLION.

DO WE HAVE ANY IDEA OF WHAT THAT PROJECT MIGHT COST OR DO WE JUST WAIT UNTIL THAT COMES LATER? I GUESS AS THE SECOND, ANOTHER STEP, I DO NOT HAVE AN IDEA ON THE COST, I PROMISE.

[01:25:01]

YES SIR.

THE ESTIMATE NOW IS, UH, AROUND 7 MILLION, I BELIEVE, IN YOURS ESTIMATE.

AND ACCORDING TO MY UNDERSTANDING, WE'RE PLANNING TO GO GET IT OUT TO BID IN SEPTEMBER.

SO ON THAT, AS FAR AS THE ROLE OF CITY COUNCIL, THERE'D BE THIS TO REAPPROVE THE SITE.

THERE WOULD BE BIDS AND THEN ULTIMATELY WE WOULD HAVE TO AUTHORIZE THE EXPENDITURE OF FUNDS.

IS THAT CORRECT? YES, SIR.

AS FAR AS ORDER OPERATIONS MM-HMM.

THE REASON WHY I BRING THAT UP IS, YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN THERE DEFINITELY WANT, YOU KNOW, AS GOOD AS FACILITIES THAT WE CAN MANAGE FOR OUR STAFF AND FOR OUR NEEDS.

OVERALL THOUGH, I THINK THE CHALLENGE IS, UM, YOU KNOW, WE'VE MADE SOME SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENTS.

WE'RE GONNA HAVE A NEW MUNICIPAL COMPLEX, WE'RE GONNA HAVE A COURT, UM, AND OTHERS, UM, WE JUST HAVE SO MANY COMPETING NEEDS IN OUR CITY, UM, THAT I PERSONALLY DON'T, WOULDN'T PRIORITIZE THE EXPANSION OF THIS OVER SOME OTHER SIGNIFICANT ROAD PROJECTS OR DIFFERENT PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE AS FAR AS, UH, IN THE CITY AS FAR AS DIFFERENT THINGS THAT WE NEED TO DO IN OUR PARK SYSTEM OR OTHER THINGS THAT OUR CITIZENS ARE ASKING US FOR.

SO I GUESS WHAT I'M ASKING IS, IN THIS PROCESS WE COULD REASSESS AS A COUNCIL IF WE WANTED TO, WHETHER OR NOT WE'D MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT BY THE VOTE WE TAKE TONIGHT, AND THEN A FUTURE CONVERSATION IF THIS WAS APPROVED ON IF AND WHERE WE EXPEND FUNDS.

IS THAT CORRECT? CORRECT.

THE CONVERSATION TONIGHT IS JUST THE EXTENSION OF THE, OF THE SITE PLAN.

IT'S NOT, NOT ANYTHING ELSE, IT'S JUST THE EXTENSION OF THE SITE PLAN IS WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TONIGHT.

SO WE CAN HAVE ANY FUTURE CONVERSATIONS THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO HAVE, UH, IF THE SITE PLAN IS, UH, EXTENDED.

YES, BUT I GET, BUT, SO I THINK I UNDERSTAND, BUT THE, BUT IF THE SITE PLAN DOESN'T MOVE OVER, THEN THE PROJECT IS BASICALLY DEAD.

CORRECT? THE APPLICANT WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO, WILL COME BACK TO US WITH IF, IF, IF, IF, IF THE CITY WANTS TO MOVE FORWARD? YES.

I MEAN THE APPLICANT'S, UH, SO I MEAN, TO ME IT'S KIND OF A MATTER OF PRIORITIES.

VERY MUCH WANT TO HAVE OUR CARS AND OTHER THINGS BE MAINTAINED AND WASHED.

BUT AT THE OTHER TIME, IF I STACK IT AGAINST SORT OF OTHER 20 NEEDS THAT I SEE, I WOULD RATHER PRIORITIZE THOSE OTHER 20 THAN THIS AT THIS TIME.

AND SO THAT'S WHY I WOULDN'T WANNA MOVE FORWARD WITH THE SITE PLAN.

'CAUSE LIKE IN MY MIND IT'S OTHER PROJECTS HAVE TO HAPPEN, UH, THAT THE CITIZENS ARE ASKING FOR BEFORE WE FUND THAT PARTICULAR, UM, UH, PARTICULAR SUPPORT FOR OUR CITY SERVICES.

YES, SIR.

IF, IF I COULD OFFER A COMMENT, UM, AS WE COME BACK WITH THE CONTRACT STAFF IS GONNA PUT TOGETHER A FUNDING COST SHARE PROPOSAL.

AND SO CURRENTLY IN THE C I P WE HAVE EARMARKED $6 MILLION TO FUND THIS PROJECT.

HOWEVER, UM, WE WILL DEVELOP A COST SHARE THAT WILL, UM, OUR, OUR DEPARTMENTS THAT UTILIZE THIS PROJECT, THEY WILL ALSO PUT FUNDING AND TO, UM, INTO THE MIX AND REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF C F E FUNDS.

SO WE'LL BE BRINGING A PROPOSAL BACK TO COUNCIL AT THE TIME.

AND WE CAN HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT THAT TO SEE IF COUNCIL IS COMFORTABLE WITH WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING.

YES, WE'D BE HAPPY TO HAVE THAT DISCUSSION.

UM, IT'S ALWAYS A BALANCE OF, I'LL CALL IT WHAT'S FRONT OF HOUSE AS FAR AS PROJECTS, YOU KNOW, THE NEW ROAD, NEW CITY CENTER, WHATEVER.

OFTENTIMES THE THINGS THAT REALLY IMPACT THE CITY'S ABILITY TO PROVIDE GREAT SERVICES BACK OF HOUSE, UH, WE HAVE SIGNIFICANT LIMITS ON THE CAPACITY OF OUR REPAIRING OUR VEHICLES, WHICH CREATES DOWNTIME.

WE'RE ABLE TO GET BACK OUT AND SERVICE ROADS DIFFERENT ELECTRIC OUT THERE.

SO BY DOING A PROJECT LIKE THIS, YOU MAY SAY, IS IT THE RIGHT TIME TO SPEND $6 MILLION, $10 MILLION? WE'LL COME BACK AND SHOW YOU WHAT THE COST SAVINGS MAY END UP BEING.

YES, YOU MAY HAVE TO SPEND UPFRONT DOLLARS, BUT THE BENEFIT MAY BE, AND WHAT WE'LL SHOW IS, IS ACTUALLY COULD BE A COST SAVER COST, UM, BENEFIT FOR US VERSUS GOING THIRD PARTY TO SEND CARS AND VEHICLES OUT TO BE SERVICED SOMEWHERE ELSE.

'CAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THAT CAPABILITY OR EXPOSING US TO HAIL DAMAGE, UH, WHICH WOULD REQUIRE, YOU KNOW, CERTAIN COSTS TO THOSE THINGS IN NATURE.

SO WE'LL HAPPEN TO HAVE THAT DISCUSSION.

I JUST, I JUST CAUTION COUNSEL AS, AS MUCH AS WE LOVE TO DO FRONT PROJECTS IS SOMETIMES THE BACK OF HOUSE PROJECTS HAVE EVEN MORE IMPACT JUST LEVELS OF SERVICE.

SO LESS MONEY AND MAINTENANCE UPKEEP FOR WEAR AND TEAR FROM THE WEATHER.

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

NOT TO SAY COUNCIL MAYOR, WE, THERE'S ALWAYS A BALANCE.

I JUST, THIS PROJECT'S BEEN ON THE BOOK FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS AND WE KEEP PUSHING ON, PUSHING OFF IN THE, IN THE CHALLENGES.

WE JUST KEEP RUNNING UP TO CAPACITY CHALLENGES, WHAT WE ARE ABLE TO DO AS A STAFF.

[01:30:08]

LET'S LOOK AT THE 91 MILLION.

AND MY COUNCIL MEMBER BROUGHT UP THE NUMBER ONE QUESTION PRIORITIES.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THAT 91 MILLION AND YOU WANT TO ADD THIS AND YOU WANT TO ADD THAT, AND NOW WE'VE GOT A TRAIN STATION.

NOW I UNDERSTAND YOU WANT TO BUILD, AND THAT'S GONNA BE HOW MANY MORE MILLION, HOW MUCH IS THAT GONNA BE IN THAT 91? HOW MUCH IS THAT GONNA EXPAND? SIR, WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT ANY COST TONIGHT.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE EXTENSION OF A SITE PLAN THAT THAT'S, THAT THE CITY OF EDMOND HAS FILED.

I THINK YOU MISSING THE POINT ITEM.

YOU'RE $91 MILLION IN DEBT.

I, I.

I STAND HERE ASKING YOU, MR. MAYOR DOES THE CITY CLOCK PAID FOR BY WE THE CITIZENS OF EDMOND.

FOR THE PURPOSES OF CITIZEN TIME ALLOCATION IS PROTECTED BY ROBERT RULES OF ORDER.

WHEN CITIZENS SPEAK AND ASK A QUESTION OF GOVERNMENT, THE CITIZEN TIME STOPS.

THE GOVERNMENT HAS THE FLOOR TO RESPOND.

SINCE YOU BECAME MAYOR, CITIZENS HAVE BEEN SHOCKED BY YOUR DENIAL OF OUR RIGHTS OF FREE SPEECH AND DEMAND.

TO KNOW IS A CITIZEN CLOCK HERE TO TIME CITIZEN COMMENTS.

AND FOR THE USE OF RULES OF ORDER OF GOVERNANCE, WE ASK YOU, MR. MAYOR, FOR OVER TIME IN OFFICE, YOU HAVE SUSPENDED ROBERT RULES OF ORDER DURING CITIZEN COMMENTS.

YOU HAVE DONE THAT.

APPARENTLY.

YOU BELIEVE YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO DISREGARD THE RULES OF GOOD AND FAIR GOVERNANCE.

WILL YOU NOW IN A PUBLIC STATEMENT INFORM WE CITIZENS THAT CITIZEN CLOCK IS THE PEOPLE'S CLOCK? AND ROBERT RULES OF ORDER OF GOOD GOVERNMENT APPLIES IN ALL COUNCIL MEETINGS.

FROM THIS POINT ON, I'M ASKING YOU THE QUESTION, MAYOR, YOU ARE ELECTED OFFICER AND SERVE THEM THE PEOPLE WE ARE OBLIGATED TO ANSWER.

YOU ARE OBLIGATED TO ANSWER THE CITIZEN QUESTIONS.

ARE YOU GOING TO STATE PUBLICLY TO THE CITIZENS OF EDMOND? WILL YOU NOW IN A PUBLIC STATEMENT INFORM WE CITIZENS? THE COUNCIL CLOCK IS THE PEOPLE'S CLOCK.

AND ROBERT RULES OF ORDER OF GOOD GOVERNANCE APPLIES AND ALL COUNCIL MEETINGS FROM THIS MINUTE FORWARD, IT IS INCUMBENT UPON ME TO DEMAND YOU RESIGN MR. MAYOR FOR DERELICTION OF YOUR SWORN CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATE DUTIES.

YOU UN SIR, YOUR TIME IS UP.

UNDISPUTED, UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

ACTIONS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES.

SIR, YOUR TIME IS UP.

YOU NEVER ANSWERED THE QUESTION.

NEXT RESIDENT.

IS CONNIE FAIRER? I GOOD EVENING, COUNSEL.

CONNIE THERE I HAVE A FEW DIFFERENT THINGS TO ADDRESS WITH YOU THIS EVENING.

IN THE LAST MEETING, I, UM, AS I DEMONSTRATED IN ORDER TO, UM, FIX THE AGENDA TO MAKE ANY CHANGES TO THE AGENDA, IT HAS TO BE DONE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE AGENDA WHEN IT IS APPROVED.

OBVIOUSLY THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN OUT HERE.

THAT HAPPENS BEHIND CLOSED DOORS SOMEWHERE ELSE AT ANOTHER TIME.

SO I AM REQUESTING THAT ANY OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS ON BEHALF OF THE CITIZENS THAT YOU ADVOCATE FOR US AND THAT YOU REQUEST THE NEW BUSINESS BE ADDED TO THE AGENDA WHEN THAT AGENDA IS APPROVED.

AND THEN, UM, ALSO, MR. MAYOR, I AM REQUESTING THAT YOU ADVOCATE ON THE BEHALF OF YOUR FELLOW COUNCILMAN AND YOUR CITIZENRY, THAT THE AGENDA BE AMENDED AT THE BEGINNING, THAT IT BE AMENDED TO INCLUDE NEW BUSINESS.

THAT IS THE FIRST ITEM.

SECOND ITEM.

I WAS IN THE MEETING HELD PRIOR TO THIS ONE.

THERE WAS, UM, ADDRESSED, UM, THE POLICE CHIEF CAME AND ADDRESSED SOME ADDITIONAL THINGS THAT THEY'RE WORKING ON, DIFFERENT TYPES OF SURVEILLANCE, UM, DIFFERENT, MORE AREAS TO BE SURVEILLED IN THE COMMUNITY.

I JUST WANT TO CAUTION YOU GUYS AND URGE YOU TO CONSIDER CAREFULLY ANY ADDITIONAL SURVEILLANCE IN THE COMMUNITY.

BECAUSE THE WAY HE WAS SPEAKING, IT SOUNDED LIKE THE, THIS IS LEADING TO CENTRALIZED SURVEILLANCE.

NOT ONLY WILL OUR COMMUNITY BE HAVING ACCESS TO THE INFORMATION, BUT THERE WILL BE CONNECTIONS TO OTHER COMMUNITIES WHO ARE TAKING PART IN THIS.

AND THERE WILL BE PERMISSIONS GIVEN AND NOT GIVEN TO DIFFERENT PEOPLE.

COMMUNITY SURVEILLANCE IS, AS WAS SPOKEN ABOUT IN THAT MEETING, IN THAT PRESENTATION.

IT IS AN ISSUE OF CONCERN FOR THE CITIZENS.

IT SHOULD BE AN ISSUE OF CONCERN FOR YOU GUYS AS WELL.

'CAUSE YOU TWO WILL BE SUBJECT TO THIS.

OF QUESTIONS AND, AND WHAT I WANT TO SAY AFTER THE FACT.

NEXT RESIDENT IS ASHLEY HALL.

I'M KIND OF ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT THINKS

[01:40:01]

AND I WAS AT THE LAST MEETING AND I LISTENED TO THE SURVEY RESULTS AND I JUST, IT BOTHERED ME ON SO MANY LEVELS.

FIRST THING I WANNA SAY THAT I'VE LIVED IN EDMOND OVER 20 YEARS.

I DIDN'T GET INVOLVED IN CITY COUNCIL.

I'M, I'M ASHAMED, BUT I WORKED.

AND, UH, IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO LIVE IN EDMOND, BUT WORK IN OKLAHOMA CITY.

OKLAHOMA CITY IS THE LARGEST PER CAPITA CITY.

I THINK IN THE UNITED STATES.

IT IS A LOT OF COMMUTERS.

AND I KNOW EVERY DAY FOR OVER 20 YEARS, I HAVE COMMUTED TO, UM, BAPTIST HOSPITAL, TO WORK DEACONESS HOSPITAL TO WORK SOUTH SIDE OKLAHOMA CITY TO WORK.

AND EVERY DAY I'M IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC GOING TO AND FROM WORK BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE LIVE IN EDMOND AND WORK OUTSIDE OF EDMOND.

I I REMEMBERED HEARING THROUGHOUT THAT SURVEY RESULTS THAT WE WANT PEOPLE TO LIVE AND WORK IN EDMOND.

SOMETIMES IT'S JUST NOT POSSIBLE.

MY MY SECOND ISSUE AND, AND FOR MYSELF, I MEAN, MY SISTER AND BROTHER-IN-LAW, BOTH WERE, UH, LIVE IN EDMOND, WORK IN OKLAHOMA CITY.

MY PARENTS HAVE LIVED HERE.

MY MY KIDS LIVE HERE.

UM, THE WHOLE, WE NEED EVERYBODY TO LIVE IN.

EDMUND PHILOSOPHY IS, I'M SORRY, THAT'S JUST KIND OF, THAT'S, THAT'S KIND OF BOGUS.

BUT THE OTHER THING, AND I, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SAY THIS WELL, BUT I KNOW IN A CITY ELECTION, LESS THAN 10% OF THE POPULATION GENERALLY VOTES.

AND I WOULD RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT.

AND, AND AS SOMEBODY WHO WASN'T INVOLVED IN COMING TO MEETINGS AND NOT KNOWING, I THINK I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT WHEN MAJOR DECISION DECISIONS WERE MADE ABOUT MY CITY, THAT THE CITIZENS WERE INVOLVED IN THAT PROCESS.

WHETHER LIKE THE 81 MILLION THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE, INCLUDING ME, ARE STILL BOTHERED ABOUT, THAT THAT WOULD'VE COME OUT AS A VOTE WHEN DIFFERENT TIMES APARTMENT COMPLEXES WERE THOUGHT ABOUT FOR EDMUND.

THE PEOPLE VOTED AND THEY VOTED NO, THEY DIDN'T WANT 'EM, OR THEY DIDN'T WANT WHERE THEY WERE LOCATED.

BUT I WOULD LIKE THE CITY TO ADDRESS THE FACT THAT IF YOU TRULY WANT THE CITIZENS TO BELIEVE THAT YOU REPRESENT US, THAT IF MAJOR DECISIONS ARE MADE, ESPECIALLY IN LOOKING OUT THE HOUSING INSTEAD OF 1700 PEOPLE BEING IN A SURVEY, THAT MAYBE THE CITY COUNCIL COULD APPROPRIATE MONEY TO MAKE A SURVEY TO GO TO EVERY MAILBOX OF EVERY EDMOND CITIZEN.

SO THAT MAY BE THE RESULTS OF THOSE SURVEYS WOULD REPRESENT THE PEOPLE.

THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE.

I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE IN THIS TOWN KNOW THAT THERE ARE SURVEYS ON THE CITY WEBSITE.

I DIDN'T KNOW.

I WOULD KNOW WHAT TO LOOK FOR, MUCH LESS WHAT'S AVAILABLE TO LOOK FOR.

AND THAT'S JUST MY, MY WISH AND HOPE MOVING FORWARD THAT THE COUNCIL WILL JUST REMEMBER THE CITIZENS, THE FEW PERCENTAGE OF CITIZENS THAT ACTUALLY SHOW UP AND VOTE.

MAYBE WE COULD GET MORE CITY INVOLVEMENT IF WE KNEW MORE WHAT WAS GOING ON.

ITEM NUMBER 12, COMMENTS FROM THE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL.

COUNSEL.

[12. Comments from the Mayor and Members of the City Council.]

I HAVE ONE ITEM, MR. MAYOR.

THERE WAS A LITTLE FELLA HERE TONIGHT.

A LITTLE BOY SCOUT.

HE SAW US AT OUR FINEST AND HE SAW A LITTLE FUSSING, BUT HE GOT AWAY BEFORE WE COULD FIGURE OUT WHY HE WAS HERE.

I ASKED MR. MURDOCH AND HE INDICATED IT WAS PROBABLY FOR A MERIT BADGE OF SOME TYPE.

UH, MS. SAWYER, UH, THE LITTLE FELLA HAD TO LEAVE AND MS. SAWYER TRACKED THE MOTHER DOWN TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING WAS ALL RIGHT.

IT WAS JUST THE SCHOOL NIGHT AND HAD TO GET GOING.

UH, I HOPE WE CAN SOMEHOW LOCATE HIM OR IF HE COMES BACK OR IF HIS TROOP MASTER, UH, CAN INFORM US.

BUT HE SAT THROUGH A INTERESTING MEETING AND MAYBE HE DESERVES TWO MERIT BADGES.

AND, UH, THAT'S WHAT I GOT.

I, I SPOKE WITH HIM BEFORE, UH, BEFORE IT STARTED, AND, UH, TALKED TO HIM ABOUT HIS PATH TO EAGLE.

HE IS, UH, OVER AT EDMOND NORTH, 14 YEARS OLD AND WAS HERE FOR HIS COMMUNICATIONS, MERIT BADGE.

UM, ALWAYS LIKE SEEING FELLOW SCOUTS OUT THERE.

BUT YEAH, I THINK, UM, ALWAYS, ALWAYS PEOPLE ARE WATCHING HOW DEMOCRACY WORKS, SO I APPRECIATE ALL THE DECORUM THAT WE CAN ALWAYS MUSTER TO, UH, TO SHOW HOW THAT, HOW THAT CAN DO SO IN A CIVIL MANNER.

WELL, I GUESS IF WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT, UM, BOY SCOUTS, UM, I WAS ASKED TO MEET WITH A COUPLE OF BOY SCOUTS, UM, THE OTHER DAY AND I FIGURED THEY'D ASK QUESTIONS LIKE, WHY'D YOU RUN FOR CITY COUNCIL? AND THEY, THEY ASKED A FEW OF THOSE THINGS AND WONDERED WHO THE MAYOR'S BOSS WAS.

AND I SAID, THE PEOPLE WHO ELECTED HIM.

AND, UM, BUT THEY ASKED ABOUT, UM, OUR

[01:45:01]

HOMELESS POPULATION.

THEY ASKED ABOUT ABORTION.

THEY ASKED SOME REALLY, REALLY HARD QUESTIONS.

SO I JUST WANNA, UM, PUT OUT THERE THAT WE'VE, YOU KNOW, LET'S NOT DISCOUNT OUR YOUNG PEOPLE IN THIS COMMUNITY.

THEY'RE ASKING THE HARD QUESTIONS.

THEY WANT TO HAVE THE HARD CONVERSATIONS AND, UM, AND BE INVOLVED.

SO, UM, NOT GREAT THAT WE WERE TESTY AND FRUSTRATED, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, SOMETIMES THAT IS WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE.

AND MAYBE HE CAN GIVE US SOME GOOD ADVICE ON HOW WE CAN COLLABORATE AND WORK TOGETHER MORE.

VERY GOOD.

WELL, COUNSEL, GOOD MEETING.

UM, WANT LAST ITEM ON THE AGENDA? ITEM NUMBER 13, MOTION TO ADJOURN.

SECOND MEETINGS.

HERE I ADJOURN.
