[A. Proclamation Recognizing October 2023 as Pedestrian Safety Month. ]

HEY, COME ON DOWN.

HOW ARE WE DOING TODAY? DOING GOOD.

HOW GOOD.

HOPEFULLY YOU ALL UNDERSTAND AND REALIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF ACOG AND OUR COMMUNITY.

UM, AND THEN THIS MONTH IS PEDESTRIAN SAFETY MONTH.

BUT LIKE A LOT OF THE OTHER PROCLAMATIONS WE DO HERE, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE EVERY DAY, JUST THEY'RE TRAVERSING OUR COMMUNITY.

IT'S ALMOST EVERY TIME I PICK UP THE NEWS, UH, OR SEE THE NEWS.

SO THIS PROCLAMATION IS, IS AS READ, UM, CITY OF EDMOND DURO, A DAVIS MAYOR IN RECOGNITION OF PEDESTRIAN SAFETY MONTH, WHEREAS THE CITY OF EDMOND, OKLAHOMA IS COMMITTED TO THE SAFETY AND WELLBEING OF ALL RESIDENTS AND VISITORS.

PEDESTRIAN SAFETY IS A FUNDAMENTAL CONCERN.

FOSTERING A SAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR PEDESTRIANS IS ESSENTIAL FOR THE VITALITY AND HEALTH OF OUR COMMUNITY, AND CREATES A SAFER ROADWAY FOR BICYCLISTS AND MOTORISTS AS WELL.

WE ACKNOWLEDGE THE TREMENDOUS VALUE AND VIBRANCE THAT WALKABLE DISTRICTS LIKE U C O AND DOWNTOWN BRING TO OUR CITY, SERVING AS HUBS OF CULTURE, COMMERCE, AND COMMUNITY GATHERING AND REINFORCING THE IMPORTANCE OF PEDESTRIAN SAFETY, RAISING AWARENESS ABOUT PEDESTRIAN SAFETY DURING THE MONTH OF OCTOBER WHEN DAYLIGHT HOURS DECREASE IS CRITICAL IN ENSURING THE SAFETY OF PEDESTRIANS AND REDUCING ACCIDENTS AND INJURIES, AND EDUCATING THE PUBLIC ABOUT SAFETY, PEDESTRIANS PRACTICES AND ENCOURAGING RESPONSIBILITY.

RESPONSIBLE DRIVER BEHAVIOR IS ESSENTIAL IN PREVENTING PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENTS AND FATALITIES, AND THE CITY OF EDMOND IS DEDICATED TO IMPROVING PEDESTRIAN INFRASTRUCTURE AND ACCESSIBILITY TO CREED A MORE WALKABLE AND VIBRANT COMMUNITY.

THE CITY OF ED IS A PARTNERSHIP WITH CITYLINK, IS, UH, CONTINUALLY WORKING AT PROVIDING SAFER, MORE EFFICIENT AND ACCESSIBLE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS TO BETTER SERVE ALL ED.

IT IS WITH HEAVY HEART THAT WE RECOGNIZE THAT IN THE PERIOD FROM 2015 TO 2021, OUR CITY WITNESSED THE LOSS OF FIVE PRE PRECIOUS LIVES DUE TO PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENTS, AND 10 INDIVIDUALS SUSTAINED LIFE ALTERING INJURIES.

AND THESE TRAGIC INCIDENTS SERVED AS A SOLEMN REMINDER OF THE URGENCY OF OUR COLLECTIVE RESPONSIBILITY TO PRIORITIZE PEDESTRIAN SAFETY.

AND NOW THEREFORE, I DARREL DAVIS, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF EDMOND, DO HEREBY PROCLAIM THE MONTH OF OCTOBER AS PEDESTRIAN SAFETY MONTH IN EDMOND, OKLAHOMA.

I CALL UPON ALL RESIDENTS, BUSINESSES, SCHOOLS, COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS, AND GOVERNMENT AGENCIES TO PARTICIPATE IN ACTIVITIES AND INITIATIVES THAT ENHANCE PEDESTRIAN SAFETY, INCLUDING EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS, PUBLIC AWARENESS CAMPAIGNS, AND EFFORTS TO IMPROVE OUR PEDESTRIAN INFRASTRUCTURE.

GIVEN UNDER MY HAND THE SEAL OF THE CITY OF EVAN, OKLAHOMA, THIS NINTH DAY OF OCTOBER, 2023, ROY DAVIS.

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

YOU.

NEXT, WE FOR HAVE FIVE, A NINE, AND 10 CHIEF, UH, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

JD YOUNGER, I WORK FOR YOUR POLICE DEPARTMENT.

UH, I GET THE PRIVILEGE TO TALK ABOUT, UH, TWO ITEMS ON YOUR AGENDA TONIGHT.

UH, THEY'RE BOTH, UH, OKLAHOMA HIGHWAY SAFETY OFFICE GRANTS, AND I KNOW THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, UH, INITIATED THE AGENDA ITEM.

BUT TO BE CLEAR, UH, THEY'RE NOT JUST, UH, SOLELY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT OR THE SERVICES WE PROVIDE.

UH, THEY ARE TO ADDRESS MOTORIST SAFETY, UH, WHICH Y'ALL KNOW BETTER THAN I, UH, CONGESTION, ROADWAY SAFETY, UH, YOU KNOW, TRANSPORTATION IN GENERAL IS OUR CITIZENS', UH, HIGHEST, UH, CONCERN YEAR IN AND YEAR OUT.

AND SO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT ROUTINELY WORKS WITH OUR ENGINEERING STAFF, UH, TO IDENTIFY AREAS OF HIGH TRAFFIC ACCIDENT, UH, OCCURRENCES, AND HOW TO BEST ADDRESS THOSE.

UH, WE USE NATIONAL STANDARDS IN THE AREAS OF EDUCATION, ENGINEERING, AND ENFORCEMENT, UH, TO TRY TO GAIN COMPLIANCE AND, AND PROVIDE A ROADWAY THAT'S, THAT'S SAFE AND TRAVERSABLE FOR EVERYONE.

SO THE TWO ITEMS YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU TONIGHT FOR CONSIDERATION ARE BOTH GRANTS FROM, FROM ONE OF OUR LONG-TERM PARTNER AGENCIES, THE OKLAHOMA HIGHWAY SAFETY OFFICE.

UH, THE FIRST ONE IS A $76,000 GRANT THAT'S INTENDED FOR HIGH PROFILE, UH, ACCIDENT REDUCTION THROUGH ENFORCEMENT.

AND SO IN OUR DEPARTMENT, WE HAVE A PROGRAM CALLED TRAFFIC ACCIDENT REDUCTION PROGRAM OR TARP.

AND IT IS FUNDED WITH THESE FUNDS THAT

[00:10:01]

AND SO WHAT THAT DOES IS ALLOW US TO OFFER OVERTIME ASSIGNMENTS TO UNIFORMED OFFICERS TO DO TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT IN THOSE AREAS THAT WE'VE WORKED WITH ENGINEERING TO IDENTIFY HIS HIGH TRAFFIC ACCIDENT LOCATIONS OR AREAS THAT WE'RE RECEIVING, UH, ABNORMAL AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT DRIVING BEHAVIOR.

AND THAT'S BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL FOR OUR COMMUNITY.

UH, THE SECOND ITEM IS A $53,000 GRANT.

UH, IT'S OUR 15TH YEAR RECEIVING THIS GRANT, AND IT IS FOR MOTORCYCLE SAFETY PROGRAMS. AND THERE ARE TWO COMPONENTS TO THAT.

UH, ONE OF THEM IS KIND OF AN EDUCATIONAL COMPONENT, SO YOU'LL SEE PUBLIC SAFETY ANNOUNCEMENTS, UH, AND THINGS, UH, SIMILAR TO THAT, JUST MAKING PEOPLE THAT DON'T MIND MOTORCYCLES AWARE, UH, OF MOTORCYCLES AND THE CHALLENGES THEY MAY PRESENT TO FOUR WHEEL MOTORISTS, UH, AS WELL AS EDUCATION TO MOTORCYCLISTS AND THE CHALLENGES THAT MAY BE PRESENTED WITH THOSE FOUR WHEEL MOTORISTS, UH, COMING INTO THEIR LANES.

UH, BUT THE BIGGER, UH, COMPONENT OF THIS IS OUR, IS OUR ACTUAL CURRICULUM THAT WE DELIVER TO MOTORCYCLE RIDERS.

AND SO THAT'S OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, UH, THAT WE DO ANNUALLY.

UH, THIS YEAR.

IT'S GOT A SECONDARY COMPONENT IN THAT WE ARE CONTRACTING, UH, FOR A TWO DAY PROGRAM FOR, FOR POLICE MOTORCYCLE OPERATORS, UH, FOR A SAFETY PROGRAM.

SO WE'LL ACTUALLY DO TWO DIFFERENT, UH, MOTORCYCLE SAFETY PROGRAMS. UH, AND AGAIN, IN, IN THE NATURE OF PARTNERSHIP, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ALLOWS US TO USE THEIR, UH, TRAINING FACILITY TO OPERATE THAT.

UH, SO I JUST WANNA HIGHLIGHT THAT THIS IS A PROGRAM THAT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT ADMINISTERS, UH, BUT THAT SEVERAL DEPARTMENTS ARE INVOLVED IN.

HOW DO WE, UH, MAKE THE BEST USE OF THESE RESOURCES FOR OUR COMMUNITY? DO YOUNGSTERS THAT ARE GETTING THEIR MOTORCYCLE LICENSE GO THROUGH THOSE CLASSES? UH, IT'S NOT MANDATED, UH, BUT THEY CAN, THEY SUGGESTED, UH, ANYBODY THAT RIDES A MOTORCYCLE, I WOULD SUGGEST THE SAFETY PROGRAM.

MM-HMM.

, I GUESS IT'S AVAILABLE.

YES, MA'AM.

JUST, JUST WANNA SAY THANK YOU, CHIEF.

I KNOW.

UM, I, AND I, I, MY GUESS IS A COUPLE OTHER CITY COUNSELORS HAVE RECEIVED FEEDBACK IF THE, UH, NEW SCHOOL YEAR IN REGARD TO, YOU KNOW, PARENTS SEEING SPEEDING.

AND ANYTHING THAT I'VE FORWARDED TO YOUR OFFICE, I KNOW HAS BEEN LOOKED AT AND, AND PROMPTLY, UH, RESPONDED TO, UH, TO THAT SCHOOL ADMINISTRATOR AND OR, OR PARENTS.

AND APPRECIATE YOU GUYS TAKING A LOOK AT THAT.

AND, UM, THANK YOU FOR, UH, THANK YOU FOR FOCUS ON, ON, UH, SAFE, SAFE ROADS AND SAFE MOTORCYCLES AND MOTORISTS.

OKAY, COUNSEL, WE HAVE ITEM, WE HAVE 11 ITEMS HERE, FIVE A THROUGH ONE, WHICH ARE GENERAL CONSENT ITEMS. WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO ON THOSE ITEMS? UH, MOTION TO APPROVE FIVE A TWO THROUGH 11.

JUST GONNA GO AHEAD AND THEN WE CAN GET THAT PRESENTATION.

DO IT NOW, OR YOU WANT, GO AHEAD.

DO IT NOW.

SO THEN WHO'S, OH, OKAY.

OKAY.

STEVE LAWRENCE, UH, CITY ENGINEER.

I WANNA TALK TO YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS CREEK BEND TRAIL PROJECT.

UH, SO, AH, UNDERNEATH.

OKAY.

SO, UH, THE CREEK MAN TRAIL IS, UH, PART OF THE TRAIL MASTER PLAN SYSTEM.

UH, IT'S LOCATED ON THE WEST SIDE OF I 35 ALONG SPRING CREEK, SOUTH OF SECOND STREET, UH, EAST OF COLTRANE.

UM, UH, LET'S SEE.

DESIGN OF THIS PROJECT STARTED IN 2014.

UM, I'D LIKE TO RECOGNIZE, UH, JAN FEES AND OUR PLANNING DEPARTMENT HAVE BEEN OUR CHAMPION OF THIS TRAIL SINCE 2014.

IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME COMING.

UM, 2015, WE HAD A COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS MEETING.

UH, 2017 WE HAD AN AGREEMENT WITH, UH, RE RESOLUTION TO, UH, PARTNER WITH ODOT ON THE TAP PROGRAM.

GRANT, UM, SPENT 2018 THROUGH 2022, UH, WORKING ON DESIGN, GOING THROUGH ALL THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENTS, UH, ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES.

WE CAME ACROSS A W P A STRUCTURE, UH, 1941 STRUCTURE THROUGH THERE.

THAT'S, UH, PART OF A FIRING RANGE THAT, UH, WE'RE ATTEMPTING TO SAVE.

UM, WE, UH, GOT THE FUNDING AGREEMENT APPROVED THROUGH ODOT 2022 IN MAY OF 2022.

UM, WE HAD, UH, HAD THREE, OR ACTUALLY FOUR DIFFERENT PROJECTS KIND OF COMING TOGETHER IN THIS, IN THIS BASIN.

SO WE WANTED TO ACQUIRE ALL THE PROPERTY TOGETHER, UH, AS ONE.

SO WE BEGAN 20 MAY, 2022, UH, PUTTING OUT OFFERS TO ALL THE PROPERTY OWNERS AND CONTACTING THEM.

AND, UM, SO FAR WE'VE, WE'VE MADE, UH, 11 PARCEL PURCHASES OUT OF, WE HAVE THREE REMAINING THAT WE NEED TO WORK ON, UM, JANUARY, 2023.

SO WITH THE ODOT AGREEMENT, UH, WE HAD A TIMEFRAME TO SPEND THE $600,000 THAT THEY WERE GRANTING US.

UM, SO AT THAT TIME, WE SPLIT THE PROJECT INTO TWO DIFFERENT PROJECTS.

UM, WE HAD A PORTION OF THE ALIGNMENT THAT WE WERE STILL WORKING OUT, STILL WORKING ON NEEDED, NEEDED SOME ADJUSTMENTS.

UH, THIS ENABLES US TO GO AHEAD AND MOVE FORWARD WITH THE ODOT SHARE, UH, UH, FUNDING PORTION OF THE PROJECT AND MOVE FORWARD AND GET THAT MONEY ENCUMBERED AND SPENT.

UM, THEY PLAN ON ADVERTISING NOVEMBER, 2023 FOR THIS.

SO, UM, SO THE AGREEMENT THAT'S IN PLACE, UM, THAT'S OUR SHARE IS THE $780,000.

UM, SO THE PHASE ONE IS THE RED PORTIONS THAT ARE SHOWN, UM, BASICALLY EACH END OF THE PROJECT WE'VE GOT, UH, UH, SECONDARY, UH, DESIGN GOING THROUGH, LOOKING AT OTHER ALTERNATES, UH, THROUGH THE TWO CENTER LARGER PROPERTIES IN THE MIDDLE.

UH, WE'RE WORKING WITH THOSE PROPERTY OWNERS, UH, AT LEAST ONE OF THE MAJOR PROPERTY OWNERS THROUGH THERE.

UM, LOOKING AT DIFFERENT TYPES OF DEVELOPMENT THAT THEY MAY BE DOING WITH THEIR PROPERTY AND WORKING WITH THEM.

UM, SO THE FIRST PORTION OF THE PROJECT WILL JUST BE THE RED PORTION.

THE SECOND PORTION LOOKS LIKE IT'S GONNA BE THE NORTHERN ALIGNMENT, THE BLUE ALIGNMENT, UM, AND IT WILL BE CITY FUNDED ENTIRELY, UH, WHICH ENABLES US TO, UH, USE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT PROCESS, UH, CUT THROUGH SOME OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL PORTIONS OF IT AND HOPEFULLY GET IT BUILT A LITTLE BIT QUICKER.

SO, UH, THE GOAL WOULD BE TO HAVE, UH, BOTH PORTIONS, BOTH PHASES OF THE TRAIL TO BE FINISHED AT ABOUT THE SAME TIME.

YEAH, THAT'D BE GREAT.

YEAH, AND THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT.

SO WITH THE, UH, COMPLETION OF THE CREEK BENCH TRAIL, WHAT CONNECTIVITY WOULD THAT HAVE FOR OUR TRAIL SYSTEM? TOTAL? TOTAL MILES? NO, JUST IT'S GOING TO CONNECT FROM, YEAH, SO IT, IT'S GONNA BE CONNECTING IN AT COLTRANE, UM, IN AN AREA THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT A POSSIBLE FUTURE TRAIL CONNECTION, UH, TO THE ER PARK.

AND THEN ON THE EAST SIDE IT WILL CONNECT IN WITH THE SPRING CREEK TRAIL AT R K D.

CORRECT.

CITIZENS MUST SIGN UP TO SPEAK EITHER ONLINE BY 3:00 PM THE DAY OF THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING, OR IN PERSON BY THE START OF THE MEETING.

REMARKS SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO THE CITY COUNCIL AS A WHOLE OR LIMITED TO THREE MINUTES OR LESS.

WE HAVE ONE.

WE HAVE TANNER JUSTICE.

THANK YOU CITY COUNCIL.

FIRST OFF, I WANNA SAY THANK YOU FOR SOME OF YOU MEETING WITH ME AND DISCUSSING THIS ISSUE WITH ME PRIOR TO NOW, UH, AND ALL THAT YOU DO FOR THE CITY.

WE APPRECIATE IT.

UH, I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF THE PUMPKIN AND CHRISTMAS TREE STAND.

WE OPERATE CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW IN EDMOND ON 15TH AND BROADWAY.

AND, UH, WE ARE PROUD TO SAY THAT THIS REPRESENTS OVER 30 YEARS OF OPERATING IN THIS TRADITION IN EDMOND.

UM, SO, UH, WHAT I'M HERE FOR IS SEEKING A PERMANENT SOLUTION REGARDING THE PERMIT REQUIREMENTS THAT WOULD POSSIBLY END THIS, UH, 30 PLUS YEAR TRADITION THAT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR THE CITIZENS OF EDMOND AND THEIR BENEFIT FOR APPROXIMATELY 25 YEARS.

BOBBY SHELDON WAS SHELDON'S PRODUCE OPERATED THIS BUSINESS OF SELLING PRODUCE OF PUMPKINS AND CHRISTMAS TREES AND SEASONAL STUFF ACROSS FROM WHATABURGER ON BROADWAY IN EDMOND FOR OVER 25 YEARS.

AND IN 2017, THEY PASSED THAT ALONG TO MY MOTHER, PAULA PARKHURST, WHO RUNS THE PARKER'S PUMPKIN PATCH IN EAST EDMOND.

AND SHE'S BEEN OPERATING APPROXIMATELY 15 YEARS.

SOON AFTER, IN 2018, SHE ASKED ME TO QUIT PLUMBING TO HELP WITH THE WORKLOAD 'CAUSE IT WAS A LOT.

AND SO I DID DO THAT.

UH, NOW, LIKE I SAID, WE ARE, UH, LOOKING AT THIS SEASON BEING APPROXIMATELY 31 YEARS OF SERVING THE COMMUNITY WITH THIS KIND OF A DEAL.

GREAT TRADITION.

IN FACT, THIS SEASON I'VE HAD THREE GENERATIONS OF FAMILY AND FIVE GENERATIONS OF FAMILY IN FRONT OF ME THAT HAVE STARTED THIS LONG BEFORE AS THEIR TRADITION BEFORE MY TIME.

AND I'M HONORED TO DO THAT FIRST, GIVING CHILDREN THEIR FIRST PUMPKIN AT ONE YEARS OLD AND FIVE YEARS LATER THEY'RE STILL COMING BACK TO GET ONE.

IT'S JUST INCREDIBLE AND I'M HONORED TO DO SO.

WE ALSO SUPPLY WHOLESALE TO SMALL BUSINESSES THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY OF OKLAHOMA.

DURING COVID, A LOT OF THE CHRISTMAS TREE FARMS WERE KICKED OFF OF THE LARGER TRUCKS AND NOT ABLE TO DO THAT.

SO WE COLLECTED TOGETHER AND WE WERE ABLE TO PUT TOGETHER TRUCKS FOR THE SMALL BUSINESSES THAT DO THAT SAME AS CROP FAILURE ISSUES WITH LOCAL PUMPKIN PATCHES AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

WE'RE ABLE TO HELP THEM GET PUMPKINS ON THE GROUND AND GET STARTED SO THAT THEY CAN SERVE THE COMMUNITY.

AND SOME OF THOSE OPERATIONS ARE BEEN AROUND LONGER THAN ME, SO WE'RE HONORED TO DO THAT AS WELL.

UM, IN 2018 WHEN I TOOK IT OVER, I WAS INFORMED OF THE NEW CITY ORDINANCE FOR THE OUTDOOR DISPLAY PERMIT.

AND IT HAD CHANGED ZONING AND DURATION ISSUES.

SO WE WERE NO LONGER ALLOWED TO DO IT AT THAT 25 YEAR LOCATION.

THAT WAS HISTORICAL.

AND WE, SINCE THEN, UH, I WORKED WITH CI, WHO WAS THE C CITY CLERK AT THAT TIME, TO WORK WITHIN THE CITY ORDINANCE.

WE MADE A RELATIONSHIP WITH, UH, 33RD AND BROADWAY AND SINCE THEN, 15TH AND BROADWAY AND, UH, DID THE PERMITS BACK TO BACK AND HAVE HAD NO ISSUES FOR THE PRE PRIOR FIVE YEARS CONTINUOUSLY SO FAR.

UM, SO WORKING WITH THAT, WE'VE HAD NO, NO CONCERNS.

HOWEVER, UH, CORY'S CONCERN WITH, WITH THE PERMITS THAT WE HAVE BEEN IN VIOLATION OF THAT FOR THE LAST FIVE YEARS AND WE WERE LOOKING TO GET A BETTER FIT AND A RESOLUTION.

AS WE'VE BEEN TALKING WITH, UH, SOME OF YOU COUNCIL MEMBERS, UH, WHAT I'VE BEEN INFORMED IS IT REQUIRES ACTION OF CITY COUNCIL TO MAKE THIS RIGHT.

IT WAS A COOPERATION OF MULTIPLE OTHER ENTITIES, NOT INCLUDING OR NOT LIMITED TO STAKEHOLDERS SUCH AS CENTRAL EDMOND URBAN DISTRICT BOARD AND EDMOND PLANNING COMMISSION OR OTHER SUCH ENTITIES.

UM, ANYWAYS, I APPRECIATE YOUR CONSIDERATION ON THIS MATTER AND THANK YOU.

LOOK FORWARD TO A, A GOOD RESOLUTION.

I'M HONORED TO TAKE THIS RESPONSIBILITY.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.

THANK YOU GUYS.

ITEM

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

13 IS THE COMMENTS FROM THE MAYOR AND THE MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL.

WELL COUNCIL, UH, THIS IS SPRINGTIME.

A LOT OF US.

I MEAN, FALL TIME , WE'RE NOT READY FOR SUMMER AGAIN.

DON'T EVEN DO THAT.

WE, WE LIKE THE, WE'RE GETTING LESS LIGHT OUT THERE NOW, BUT I DID WANNA MENTION FOR PEOPLE LIKE ME, THERE WILL BE A SOLAR ECLIPSE THAT WE SHOULD RECEIVE 70 TO MAYBE 80% OF THAT VIEWING ON SATURDAY HERE IN, IN EDMOND.

AND THEN ALSO, WHAT WAS IT LAST WEEK? UH, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER ROBBINS THAT WE HAD.

UM, THE DEDICATION OF THE BRIDGES OF THE BROTHERHOOD.

THAT WAS LOVELY.

A STATUE OUT HERE IN FRONT OF THE, UH, POST OFFICE THAT WAS, WHICH WAS ANOTHER NICE EVENT THAT'S MM-HMM.

[00:35:01]

WHAT I HAVE GOING ON SO FAR THAT I KNOW.

WHAT ARE YOU OUT? ANYTHING FROM THE COUNCIL, THE STEVENSON PART.

UM, SOFT OPENING WAS REALLY FUN.

LOTS OF KIDDOS OUT THERE HAVING, IT WAS, IT WAS JUST SO NICE TO HEAR THEM LAUGHING AND PLAYING AND AS KIDS DO RUN AMUCK, IT WAS FUN.

IT WAS, I JUST CAN'T WAIT TILL THE WHOLE THING GETS DONE.

BUT THAT SOFT OPENING WAS REALLY NICE.

YEAH, I WANNA THANK, UH, DIRECTOR RAINEY AND HIS PARK STAFF AND THEIR TEAM AND WORKING WITH THE EDMUND, UM, MUS, OUR HISTORICAL MUSEUM WHO HAD BUTTERFLIES OUT THERE.

MM-HMM.

HAD AN AWESOME TIME.

UM, I SAW KIDS AND ADULTS ALIKE ENJOYING THE SLIDE.

LOTS OF QUESTIONS ON THE HEAT OF IT AND I CAN PERSONALLY ATTEST IT IS GOOD TO GO FUN AND, AND A LOT, A LOT TO DO.

UM, THE OTHER THING I'LL CALL OUT, UH, WARD ONE, UH, FOR ALL YOU BIG VIEWERS OUT THERE, 7:30 AM WAKE UP WITH A CUP OF COFFEE OR SOME HOT CHOCOLATE IF IT'S CHILI COFFEE WITH A COP, 7:30 AM SUMMER MOON RAIL YARD.

COME OUT TO WARD ONE, MEET SOME OF YOUR, UH, POLICE OFFICERS.

AND EDMOND, WHERE'S WHEN IS THAT? IT'LL BE TOMORROW OVER AT THE RAIL YARD.

SUMMER MOON COFFEE, ABOUT SEVEN 30 TO 8:30 AM SO I'LL BE, I'LL BE THERE FOR PART OF THAT.

SO IF YOU WANNA MEET ME OR SOME OF THE, OUR POLICE STAFF AND OFFICERS COME ON BY.

UM, I WAS JUST GONNA MENTION, UM, WE DID HAVE AN ITEM TO DISCUSS, UM, THE URBAN OVERLAY, URBAN RESIDENTIAL OVERLAY.

AND UM, JUST TO CLARIFY, CONTINUED INDEFINITELY MEANS THAT WE DON'T HAVE PLANS TO PUT THAT BACK ON THE CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ANYTIME IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

WE'VE HEARD, UM, THE COMMENTS AND CONCERNS OF CITIZENS AND SO WE FEEL LIKE IT NEEDS MORE DISCUSSION, UM, MORE EDUCATION, MORE DISCUSSION.

SO JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT'S CLEAR, WHAT THAT MEANS, CONTINUED INDEFINITELY.

THANKS.

AND THEN FOLLOWING THROUGH ON OUR WORKSHOP, I'LL JUST REPEAT WHAT MS. MUG SAID.

MAKE IT SHORT AND TIDY.

ALRIGHT.

REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

I GUESS THE OTHER THING TOO, UH, I GOT ONE MORE THING, .

UM, WE DID TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT, UH, FIXING SOME OF THE SCRIBNER ERRORS, UM, WITH SOME OF THE MONETARY AMOUNTS, NOT CHANGING PERCENTAGES THAT WE VOTED ON A WHILE BACK ON WATER RATE INCREASES AND THERE IS A LOT OF MISINFORMATION OUT THERE.

UM, AND SO I WOULD JUST ENCOURAGE FOLKS TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT THE WORKSHOP.

REALLY, REALLY INFORMATIVE WORKSHOP, UM, ABOUT THE REASON FOR THE INCREASE IN THE RATES.

AND THEY ARE ACTUALLY VERY SMALL.

UM, I DON'T KNOW THAT THAT WAS HIGHLIGHTED NECESSARILY, UM, ENOUGH IN, IN WHAT PEOPLE ARE DISSEMINATING OUT THERE.

BUT THE INCREASES ARE ACTUALLY VERY SMALL.

THEY'RE LESS THAN INFLATION AND THEY ALLOW US TO MAINTAIN AND INCREASE OUR INFRASTRUCTURE AND BE FORWARD THINKING, UM, SO THAT AS THE CITY INEVITABLY GROWS, WE'LL BE ABLE TO HANDLE THAT.

AND WE WON'T BE JACKING UP RATES WAY MORE IN THE FUTURE OR BE, UM, RELIANT ON OTHER SURROUNDING AREAS FOR OUR WATER.

SO, UM, AGAIN, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE LIKE TO DO THE SOUND BITES ABOUT HOW HORRIBLE IT IS TO INCREASE WATER RATES, BUT KEEP IN MIND THE INCREASES ARE VERY SMALL.

THEY'RE VERY SMART.

UM, AND, UM, PLEASE WATCH THE WORKSHOP.

WELL COUNSEL, THERE'S NOTHING ELSE ON THE AGENDA.

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO? MOTION TO ADJOURN.

MOTION SET.

ADJOURN.

PLEASE CANCEL YOUR VOTE.
