MOTION TO APPROVE.

SECOND.

MOTION.

SECOND.

PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE.

THOSE REAPPOINTMENTS ARE NOW APPOINTMENTS.

UH,

[A. Consideration of Approval of Administrative Items:]

UM, IF NOT HAVING ANY BEFORE ITEM FOUR A SEVEN, WE CAN START RECEIVING THE PRESENTATIONS FROM THE CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL OF SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION FOR VISIT EDMOND RESERVES TO VARIOUS ADMIN BUDGETS FOR TOURISM NEEDS FOR $296,880.

YES, GOOD EVENING.

I'M JENNIFER THORNTON.

THANK YOU, DIRECTOR OF VISIT EDMOND.

AND WE ARE REQUESTING TO USE SOME RESERVE FUNDING FOR TOURISM NEEDS.

UH, THE FIRST PART IS FOR, UH, TO SUPPLEMENT SOME OUR BUDGET FOR, UM, LODGING TAX FROM THE HILTON GARDEN INN.

THAT NEEDS TO BE REIMBURSED PER THE, UM, AGREEMENT.

SO THAT WOULD BE 76,000.

AND, UM, THE NEXT PART IS TO, UM, SUPPORT OUT OF TOWN VISITORS.

I DID A COUPLE OF PHOTOS, FOR EXAMPLE, THE, UM, ENDEAVOR GAMES ATTRACT LOTS OF OUTER TOWN VISITORS AND THE RECENT CYCLE 66 EVENT.

THESE ARE THE TYPES OF EVENTS THAT WE SUPPORT WITH THOSE DOLLARS.

UM, THE OTHER ONE IS FOR REBRANDING THAT IS GOING ON, UM, CURRENTLY.

SO WE WILL HAVE A NEW LOGO.

WE'VE HAD THE SAME LOGO SINCE OUR INCEPTION, AND ONCE WE HAVE THAT LOGO, THERE'LL BE SOME NEEDED EXPENSES.

AND THEN THE LAST PART IS TO TRANSFER SOME RESERVES TO MARKET ADMIN AS A VISITOR DESTINATION FOR TOURISM CONFERENCES AND MARKETING.

SO I'M RECOMMENDING THAT APPROVAL FOR THOSE ITEMS. BUT I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

COUNSEL, ANY QUESTIONS FOR VISIT EDMOND? THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU, JENNIFER.

NEXT IS ITEM FOUR.

A NINE IS CONSIDERATION APPROVAL OF FISCAL YEAR 2022 TO 2023 YEAREND BUDGET TRANSFER APPROPRIATIONS TO BALANCE DEPARTMENTAL BUDGET CATEGORIES.

GOOD EVENING COUNSEL.

CAN YOU HEAR ME? YEAH, LOOK AT THAT.

OKAY.

SO, UM, THIS IS JUST A NORMAL ENTRY THAT WE DO EVERY YEAR IS OUR TRUE UP ENTRY FOR OUR BUDGET.

AND BASICALLY, I JUST WANNA GIVE A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND.

NO, NO.

OKAY.

[00:05:01]

SO, UH, THE OKLAHOMA MUNICIPAL BUDGET ACT IN 1979 JUST BASICALLY SAYS WE CAN'T BE IN A NEGATIVE POSITION IN OUR CATEGORIES AT YEAR END.

AND SO, YOU KNOW, DEPENDING ON IF YOU BUDGET, OVERSPEND YOUR BUDGET AT ALL, BUT THERE'S STILL MONEY IN OTHER LINE ITEMS. THIS IS ALL THIS IS DOING.

IT'S MOVING IT EITHER FROM RESERVES OR FROM ANOTHER LINE ITEM SO THAT WE'RE NOT NEGATIVE IN A CATEGORY IN OUR CATEGORIES, WHICH ARE ON ALL OF OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, OUR PERSONNEL SERVICES, MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES, OTHER SERVICES, CAPITAL OUTLAYS, DEBT SERVICE, AND FUND TRANSFERS.

AND SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT OUR FINANCIALS, WE JUST DON'T WANT ANY OF THOSE TO BE NEGATIVE.

UM, AND BASICALLY THIS IS, AGAIN, IT'S A DEFICIT TRUE UP.

SO NO ENCUMBRANCE OR EXPENDITURE MAY BE AUTHORIZED OR MADE BY ANY OFFICER OR EMPLOYEE, WHICH EXCEEDS THE AVAILABLE APPROPRIATION FOR EACH DEPARTMENT WITHIN A FUND.

AND THOSE ARE OUR CATEGORIES.

SO THESE ARE REALLY JUST BUDGET AMENDMENTS TO OUR 6 30 23 BUDGET.

SO WE'RE NOT SPENDING ANY MORE FUNDS OR ANYTHING, WE'RE JUST TRUING IT UP.

SO BASICALLY, AND THE BIG ITEMS ARE, WE DO A TRUE UP FOR OUR POLICE AND FIRE PUBLIC SAFETY EVERY YEAR, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE CAPTURING ALL OF THE FUNDS THAT THEY ARE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN.

UH, SOME OF THE OTHER BIGGER ONES ARE, UM, ARBITRAGE.

THAT'S SOMETHING SOMETIMES WE PAY, SOMETIMES WE DON'T.

SO WE DON'T ALWAYS BUDGET FOR IT, BUT WE HAVE PLENTY OF RESERVES TO COVER THAT.

AND, UM, MOST OF THE OTHER SMALLER ONES ARE LIKE, UM, THE LITTLE FUNDS THAT MIGHT HAVE SOME BANK CHARGES IN THEM.

LIKE, UH, YOU CAN SEE THE, THE SPECIAL, THE FER PARK TAX.

THEY HAD SOME BANK CHARGES, THEY DID GET INTEREST.

SO ANYWAY, JUST LITTLE THINGS LIKE THAT.

SO, UM, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS ONE? OKAY.

COUNCIL, ANY QUESTIONS? WE RECOMMEND APPROVAL.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

AND NEXT WE HAVE CONSIDERATION APPROVAL OF SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION FROM THE WATER AND WASTEWATER FUND EMERGENCIES AND SHORT FOR SHORTFALLS RESERVES TO FILL SERVICES.

WATERLINE MAINTENANCE FOR WATER LEAK REPAIRS INTO THE WATERWORKS CONSTRUCTION BUDGET TO FUND THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICE AGREEMENT WITH CARO ENGINEERS FOR $18,459,290.

OKAY.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNSEL.

UM, JUST REAL QUICK, TALK TO YOU ABOUT, UH, ITEMS 4 8 10.

AND THEN THIS WILL ALSO, UH, LEAD INTO ON THE EPWA AGENDA SEVEN A ONE AND SEVEN B THREE.

UH, SEVEN B THREE, UH, IS THE FINAL PHASE OF WATER PLANT DESIGN.

UH, IT'LL INCLUDE THE OZONE GENERATION LIME SOFTENING PROCESS.

IT'S BASICALLY THE MAIN PROCESSES FOR THE, UH, WATER PLANT CONSTRUCTION.

UH, IN THE PACKET, WE DID PUT A, UM, PICTURE OF THE WATER PLANT WITH A LEGEND SO EVERYONE COULD SEE, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S BEEN BUILT, UM, WHAT'S UNDER CONSTRUCTION NOW, AND THEN WHERE, WHERE THE FUTURE PHASE OF THE WATER PLANT WOULD BE.

JUST TRYING TO OUTLINE IT AS CLEAR AS POSSIBLE.

IT'S HARD TO, HARD TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE SCALE AND SCOPE OF THIS PROJECT WHERE, WHERE IT LINES OUT.

BUT, UM, JUST A, A LOT GOING ON.

SO, UM, GET INTO THE, UH, SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION.

SO THE 17 AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS IS THE FINAL PHASE OF WATER PLANT CONSTRUCTION AND CONSTRUCTION SERVICES.

UH, THERE'S A PIECE OF THIS THAT'S FROM THE WASTEWATER FUND, UH, FOR OUR RPR SERVICES OR RESIDENT PROJECT REPRESENTATIVE SERVICES.

UM, IT'S REIMBURSING THE WATER FUND.

UM, SINCE WE'VE GOT SO MANY DIFFERENT PROJECTS GOING, SOME OF THE RESOURCES ARE SHARED FOR INSPECTIONS THROUGH THE ENGINEER.

UM, AND THEN I'M GONNA ASK KEITH STEWART TO COME UP AND TALK ABOUT THE, UH, WATER LEAKS AND THE $1 MILLION, UH, ADDITIONAL REQUEST.

YEAH, THANK YOU.

CHRIS.

KEITH STEWART, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS.

THE LAST TIME I WAS HERE AND TALKED TO YOU ABOUT LEAKS, WE WERE AT ABOUT 250 IN RISING.

UM, I'M HAPPY TO REPORT THAT THAT NUMBER TODAY IS LESS THAN 125.

UM, YOU APPROVED A CONTRACT FOR US TO BRING ON ADDITIONAL CONTRACTORS TO HELP US WITH THOSE LEAKS ABOUT A MONTH AGO, A LITTLE OVER MONTH AGO, AND TRANSFERRED SOME ADDITIONAL FUNDS TO SUPPORT THAT EFFORT.

UM, THAT, THAT HAS WORKED OUT WELL.

THE CONTRACTOR HAS COMMITTED IT.

BOTH CONTRACTORS HAVE COMMITTED THREE CREWS EACH, AND SUBSIDIZED OUR EFFORTS.

AND SO WE'RE HAPPY TO SAY THAT WE'RE GETTING CLOSER TO HAVING THOSE LEAKS UNDER CONTROL, BUT WE NEEDED ADDITIONAL FUNDS TO SUPPORT THAT EFFORT.

UH, HALF OF THE, UM, THE 500,000 WOULD GO TOWARD, OR 500,000 WOULD GO TOWARDS

[00:10:01]

WHENEVER WE HAVE A LEAK, WE HAVE TO REMOVE A DRIVEWAY OR A SIDEWALK.

SO THESE CONTRACTORS ARE COMING IN AND HELPING US DO THAT WORK AS WELL.

SO WE STILL ARE ON TARGET, HOPEFULLY BY THE END OF THIS CALENDAR YEAR TO BE BACK TO A MANAGEABLE NUMBER AND BACK TO OUR CREWS HANDLING THIS IN-HOUSE WITHOUT HAVING TO USE THE CONTRACTORS.

BUT, UM, RIGHT NOW, THE NEW LEAKS COMING IN HAVE REALLY SUBSIDED, WHICH WE'RE HAPPY.

I'M NOT SURE WHY THEY HAVE.

UH, I WISH, I WISH I KNEW.

BUT, UH, I'M GONNA TAKE THAT AND AS A GOOD SIGN.

AND WE'RE, WE'RE, WE'RE MAKING PROGRESS.

SO ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT DIRECTOR STEWART, WE, UM, VISITED A FEW WEEKS AGO.

FIRST, I WANNA SAY THANK YOU FOR THE PROGRESS THAT'S BEEN MADE, UM, APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT'S BEEN DONE BY THE CREWS AND THE, WITH THE ADDITIONAL FUNDS AND SUBCONTRACTORS WHEN WE VISITED A FEW WEEKS AGO.

UM, I KNOW ONE OF THE THINGS THAT STANDS OUT IN RESIDENT'S MINDS IS WHEN THEY SEE A LEAK AND REPORT IT, UM, THEY KIND OF WANNA KNOW THE STEPS AND THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING NEXT.

UM, I'D RAISE THE IDEA OF, OF INFORMING, CREATING A VIDEO OR SOMETHING OF INFORMING OUR RESIDENTS OF, THIS IS WHY WE'RE HAVING A HISTORICAL NUMBER OF LEAKS.

THIS IS WHAT WE'RE DOING TO ADDRESS IT.

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU CALL US.

IF ANYTHING BECOMES A LIFE AND SAFETY ISSUE, RE UM, REENGAGE US.

HAVE WE CHANGED SINCE WE SPOKE OUR COMMUNICATION TO PEOPLE THAT CALL IT IN? HAVE WE MADE ANY UPGRADES TO THAT? WELL, OUR, OUR PLAN, OUR PROCESS HAS ALWAYS BEEN WHEN THEY CALL IN A LEAK OR GO ONLINE AND REPORT IT THROUGH OUR ONLINE REPORTING MECHANISM, THAT WE CONTACT, THAT WE GO OUT TO THAT RESIDENCE, WE INVESTIGATE THE LEAK, MAKE A DETERMINATION AS TO WHETHER IT IS A LEAK OR IF IT'S GROUNDWATER OR WHATEVER IT MIGHT BE IRRIGATION.

UM, ONCE WE DETERMINE IT'S A LEAK, WE DETERMINE WHICH SIDE OF THE METER THE LEAK IS ON, THEN WE COMMUNICATE WITH THAT RESIDENT WHETHER THEY NEED TO CALL A PLUMBER BECAUSE IT'S ON THEIR SIDE OF THE METER, OR WE'LL DISPATCH A CREW OUT TO, UM, DO SOME FURTHER INVESTIGATION AND THEN WE'LL SEND A CREW OUT TO MAKE THAT REPAIR.

WE THEN FOLLOW UP WITH THAT RESIDENT ON AN ONGOING BASIS UNTIL THE LEAK IS REPAIRED.

UH, I KNOW WE DID PUT SOME INFORMATION OUT.

I BELIEVE THERE WAS SOME INFORMATION THAT WENT OUT ONLINE TO KIND OF SHOW A GRAPHIC OF, UH, WHAT A LEAK ON THE RESIDENT'S SIDE LOOKS LIKE VERSUS WHAT A LEAK ON THE CITY SIDE LOOKS LIKE AND HOW THAT PROCESS WORKS.

SO AS, SO AS PART OF THE PROCESS, WE HAVE THE CONTACT INFO FOR THAT RESIDENCE.

SO WE COLLECT THEIR, I'D ASSUME A, A PHONE, IF NOT A PHONE AND AN EMAIL, CORRECT? MM-HMM.

, YES.

SO IF WE HAVE A UNIVERSE OF PEOPLE THAT WE KNOW WHO HAVE CONTACTED THE CITY, UH, TO REPORT A LEAK, UM, I WOULD, MY RE MY SUGGESTION WOULD BE, UM, BUT I'M JUST ONE PERSON TO, UM, CREATE, UH, JUST A SHORT VIDEO THAT GOES DIRECTLY TO THEM.

IT'S EITHER TEXT TO THEM OR EMAIL TO THEM THAT SAYS, THANK YOU FOR CONTACTING, UH, THE CITY OF EDMOND.

UH, WE'RE HAVING A RECORD NUMBER OF LEAKS AS ARE OTHERS.

CROSS THE METRO.

THIS IS SOME OF THE CAUSATION OF IT TO ADDRESS THAT WE WERE AT THIS NUMBER, WE'RE NOW HERE, WE'VE APPLIED NEW FUNDS.

IF SOMETHING BECOMES AN ISSUE OF LIFE AND SAFETY, PLEASE REENGAGE US.

UM, 'CAUSE I STILL HEAR SOME FEEDBACK FROM OUR RESIDENTS OF, THEY CALL IT IN AND THEY'RE QUITE DON'T KNOW WHERE IT'S IN THE QUEUE OR THEY SEE SOMETHING ELSE FIXED.

UM, BUT I THINK JUST CREATING A SMALL THING SINCE WE HAVE THAT MARCO OR THAT TARGETED LIST WOULD BE HELPFUL.

SO THAT WOULD BE MY RECOMMENDATION, UH, JUST KIND OF FROM THE RESIDENTS THAT I'VE BEEN TALKING TO AS FAR AS BEING ABLE TO ENHANCE COMMUNICATION WITH THEM.

YES, SIR.

HOPEFULLY WITH ALL THIS INVESTMENT AND NEW INFRASTRUCTURE, THESE LEAKS WILL START TO BE, UH, LESS FREQUENT.

SO THAT'S EXCITING.

HOPEFULLY.

SO, HOPEFULLY.

SO WE'RE, WE'RE HOPING THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT IT'S BEEN.

AND, AND AS THAT GETS REPLACED, THEN THE LEAKS WILL SUBSIDE.

UM, MM-HMM.

IT'S, IT'S JUST BEEN A WEIRD, IT'S BEEN A WEIRD YEAR.

I'VE NOT SEEN, WELL, WE'VE HAD WAVE WEATHER CAUSING THE GROUND A SHIFT AND CRACK AND BLUE PIPES.

ABSOLUTELY.

BUT THANKS FOR GETTING ON TOP OF THIS.

MM-HMM.

THANK YOU, SIR.

REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

THANK YOU.

OKAY, COUNSEL.

THOSE WERE, HE NOT, HE'S LIKE, OH, YOU'RE CAPTAIN MOORE, YOU MOVED.

I MEAN, I, I'M GLAD TO COME STEP BACK ON FINISH.

LET'S FINISH THE STORY ON THIS.

ALRIGHT.

PLEASE TELL MY, TELL MY WHOLE STORY.

UM, OKAY.

SO WE TOOK THIS TO PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE, UH, LAST WEEK.

AND THAT WAS, UH, RECOMMENDED FOR, UH, APPROVAL.

AND ON THE, UH, DESIGN CONTRACT, UH, JUST WANTED TO GIVE A REAL QUICK UPDATE ON, UH, WATER MASTER PLAN PROJECTS.

UM, THE FIRST PHASE STARTED IN 2020.

UH, AND IT IS, UH, ONLINE CURRENTLY AS, AS OF THIS YEAR.

UH, SECOND PHASE STARTED IN JULY OF 22.

UH, AND AS DID OUR INTAKE AND PUMP STATION.

UM, WE PLAN TO BID THE MAIN OH THREE AND TANK OH TWO, WHICH IS TRANSMISSION LINES

[00:15:01]

AND THEN STORAGE TANKS AT I 35.

AND THEN, UM, WE EXPECT TO, IF THIS IS APPROVED TONIGHT, THEN UH, ABOUT 24 MONTHS FOR DESIGN AND PERMITTING THE PROJECT.

IT'S A LOT OF, LOT OF STEPS TO GO THROUGH TO GET THERE.

THESE ARE BIG, COMPLICATED PROJECTS.

UH, THAT'S A PICTURE OF THE FIRST PHASE OF THE WATER PLANT BEING COMPLETE.

AND THE SECOND PHASE UNDER CONSTRUCTION, THAT WAS 190, ALMOST $192 MILLION PROJECT.

IT'S EXPECTED TO BE COMPLETE IN FEBRUARY OF 27.

AND THEN THIRD PHASE, THIS IS WHAT THE CONTRACT'S FOR TONIGHT.

UH, REDESIGN OF THE ORIGINAL, UM, PLANT THAT WAS BID IN 2019.

AND THEN WE PUT A INFOGRAPHIC TOGETHER JUST ON A LOT OF DIFFERENT PROJECTS THAT ARE HAPPENING.

UM, AND THIS'LL BE ON OUR WEBSITE AS WELL AS IT'S IN THE AGENDA PACKET TONIGHT.

AND JUST A BLOWN UP SHOT OF THE WATER PLANT CONSTRUCTION AND A, A LEGEND WITH EVERYTHING.

UM, THIS IS, UH, THE DESIGN AND, UH, CONSTRUCTION IS ALL PART OF THE RATE PLAN THAT WAS ADOPTED JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO.

SO WE'RE ON TRACK DOING WHAT WE NEED TO DO WITH THAT.

UH, WE'LL BE BIDDING THESE OTHER PROJECTS, BUT COMING BACK TO YOU HERE PRETTY SOON WITH AUTHORIZATION TO BID, SO EVERYBODY'S ON THE SAME PAGE AND, AND WE ALL KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.

SO, UH, AS, AS WE ALWAYS SAY MORE INFORMATION ON OUR WEBSITE, WE'VE HAD IT OUT THERE.

AND, UH, WE DO ANNUAL UPDATES TO THE REVISED, UH, WATER MASTER PLAN.

AND THEN THE, UH, PUBLIC PROJECTS WE DO MONTH AT LEAST MONTHLY UPDATES.

SO QUESTIONS.

AND OF COURSE WE RECOMMEND APPROVAL.

ANY QUESTIONS? COUNSEL, DIRECTOR, DO YOU HAVE, UM, FOR THE PROJECTS THAT'LL COME ONLINE THAT WILL COMPLETE US ON 27 AND 28 MM-HMM.

, ARE THOSE FULLY COVERED BY THE RATE INCREASE THAT WENT IN THIS MONTH AND THE TWO SUBSEQUENT ONES IN THE FOLLOWING TWO YEARS? OR DO YOU ANTICIPATE, UH, TO BE ABLE TO COMPLETE THAT WE WOULD NEED TO, TO ASK THE RESIDENTS FOR ADDITIONAL RATE HEIGHT? NO, WE'VE, WE'VE SAID ALL ALONG THAT TWO TO 3% RATE INCREASES IS, IS PROBABLY ABOUT THE NORM JUST TO KEEP UP WITH INFLATION AND TO FUND PROJECTS LONG TERM.

UM, OUR, OUR RESERVE BALANCE IN THE WATER FUND AND WASTEWATER FUND IS BEING USED TO SLOW DOWN RATE INCREASES.

SO WE DON'T HAVE 10%, 15% RATE INCREASES AT ANY TIME THAT WE CAN.

WE CAN KEEP SLOW INCREMENTAL INCREASES TO KEEP UP WITH INFLATION.

'CAUSE THE COST OF OUR OPERATIONS GOES UP QUITE A BIT.

I MEAN, ANY ONE YEAR WE COULD HAVE A 50% INCREASE ON LIME SOFTENING, UM, CHEMICALS OR CHLORINE OR WHATEVER IT MAY BE.

SO THE COST OF TREATMENT IS NOT GETTING ANY LESS.

AND SO I'LL NEVER SAY THAT WE WILL NEVER INCREASE RATES AGAIN TO, UH, KEEP THIS GOING.

'CAUSE THE ONLY WAY THAT WE CAN RECOVER COSTS IS THROUGH USER CHARGES.

WE DON'T GET SALES TAX FUNDING OR PROPERTY TAX FUNDING.

SO, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU.

THANKS.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

OKAY, COUNSEL, WE HAVE 10 GENERAL CONSENT ITEMS HERE.

FOUR A ONE THROUGH 10.

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO ON THEM? I MOVE TO APPROVE A SECOND MAYOR.

[A. Public Hearing and Consideration of Approval of Resolution No. ___ Supporting the Closeout of the Oklahoma Department of Commerce CDBG-CV (Community Development Block Grant - Coronavirus Response) Program. (Citywide)]

FIVE.

HI THERE.

GOOD EVENING.

I'M CHRISTY BATTERSON.

I'M THE HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT MANAGER FOR THIS CITY.

AND I'M HERE TONIGHT TO CLOSE OUT OUR PROGRAM OFFICIALLY FOR OUR CDBG CV FUNDING THAT WE RECEIVED FROM OKLAHOMA COMMERCE.

THERE WE GO.

OKAY.

UM, AS WE ALL REMEMBER, 'CAUSE HOW CAN WE FORGET? UM, BACK, BACK IN MARCH OF 2020, UH, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT RELEASED MONEY INTO THE CARESS ACT THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE USED FOR PREVENTION, PREPARING FOR, OR RESPONDING TO THE CORONAVIRUS.

UM, THE PURPOSE OF THAT WAS, UM, TO GET MONEY OUT INTO THE COMMUNITY TO HELP THOSE IN NEED DURING, UM, THE SHUTDOWN OR DURING, UM, THIS TIME PERIOD WE WERE AN RA ENTITLEMENT COMMUNITY.

SO WE GOT DIRECT FUNDING FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, BUT THE OKLAHOMA DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE OPENED IT UP TO THOSE ENTITIES THAT ALREADY RECEIVED FUNDING FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDING TO GET IT INTO THE STATE.

UM, WE APPLIED FOR, UH, OUR, DURING THE SECOND ROUND OF ALLOCATIONS, WE APPLIED FOR A LITTLE OVER A MILLION DOLLARS TO AID THOSE NONPROFITS THAT WE HAVE IN THE COMMUNITY THAT WE'RE SERVING, UM, OUR, OUR CITIZENS.

UM, WE RECEIVED THAT.

UM, THEN THEY WENT AFTER AND RELEASED ANOTHER ROUND.

UM, WE APPLIED AGAIN FOR AN ADDITIONAL FUNDING.

UM, AND THEY SAID, SINCE YOU'RE DOING SUCH A GOOD JOB, HAVE AN ADDITIONAL 185,000.

UM, SO IN ALL IN ALL, WE WERE AWARDED JUST A LITTLE UNDER $2 MILLION.

I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS AND THE NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS THAT WE HAVE HERE IN THE COMMUNITY.

UM, ONCE NOTIFIED ABOUT THE FUNDING, NOT ONLY WITH OUR ENTITLEMENT FUNDING THAT WE RECEIVED, BUT WITH THIS REFUNDING, UM, I REACHED OUT TO SEVERAL OUR NONPROFITS THAT WERE PROVIDING NUTRITION ASSISTANCE, MENTAL HEALTH ASSISTANCE, AND RENTAL ASSISTANCE.

UM, AND I HAVE THOSE LISTED THAT WE, UM, THAT RECEIVED AN ALLOCATION FROM US IN THAT, UM, ARPA FUNDING, I'M SORRY, IN CARES FUNDING, UH, EDMOND MOBILE MILLS HOPE CENTER, EDMOND PUBLIC SCHOOL FOUNDATION PROJECT 66 AND NORTH CARE.

SO WE WERE ABLE TO SERVE IN THE TWO YEAR PERIOD OF

[00:25:01]

UM, WE SPENT $502,000 IN RENTAL OR MORTGAGE ASSISTANCE.

THAT WAS UP TO SIX MONTHS WORTH OF ASSISTANCE.

UM, WE PROVIDED ASSISTANCE TO NUTRI, UH, FOR NUTRITIONAL ASSISTANCE THROUGH EDMUND MOBILE MEALS, AS WELL AS PROJECT 66, UM, 350,000 TO EDMOND MOBILE MEALS.

AND APPROXIMATELY 150 HUN 53,000 TO PROJECT 66.

OUR MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAMS. WE WERE ABLE TO PUT, UM, CASE MANAGEMENT WORKERS WITH FROM NORTH CARE AND ALL THE LATERAL SCHOOL SYSTEMS TO WORK WITH THE SROS, AS WELL AS SOME OTHER MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAMMING THAT THE SCHOOL SYSTEM WAS DOING THROUGH THE FOUNDATION.

AND THEN FINALLY, UM, OUR NORTH CARE REHABILITATION OF THEIR NEW FACILITY THAT WILL BE OPENED HOPEFULLY AFTER THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR AT KELLY AND 15TH, WE PROVIDED 450,000 AND FUNDING FOR THAT REHAB ITSELF.

WE'VE HAD A DESKTOP REVIEW FROM OKLAHOMA COMMERCE AND THEY HAD NO FINDINGS OR CONCERNS AND I JUST FOUND OUT THAT THE DUPLICATION OF BENEFITS WAS ALSO THEY FOUND, HAD NO FINDINGS OR CONCERNS.

UM, THIS IS THE LAST PART OF THE PROJECT IS TO HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING ON IT, UM, TO, TO CLOSE OUT THE PROJECT AND STAFF COMMENDS THE APPROVAL.

ALRIGHT, COUNSEL, ANY QUESTIONS? NO, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR GOING AFTER ALL THAT EXTRA MONEY AND HELPING OUT THOSE FOLKS IN NEED.

THAT'S, IT'S IMPORTANT.

WE LOVE OUR NONPROFITS IN THIS COMMUNITY AND HOW THEY TAKE CARE OF OUR FOLKS.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

A LOT OF THEM CHANGED THE BUSINESS PLAN TO GET THE, THE SERVICES OUT.

UM, SO YEAH, I COMMEND ALL OF THEM.

THANK YOU, MA'AM.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR WORK ON THAT.

DO WE, UM, DO WE KNOW WHAT THE SCHOOLS, UM, THAT INITIAL FUNDING THAT WAS PROVIDED FOR THOSE, THE MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT, IS THAT ABLE TO CONTINUE IN SOME WAY? SO ORIGINALLY I BELIEVE THE EDMUND FOUNDATION WAS GONNA TAKE THAT OVER, BUT I THINK THE SCHOOL SYSTEM HAS WORKED OUT WITH NORTH CARE IN PROVIDING THAT.

THERE IT IS.

UM, I BELIEVE NORTH CARE HAS WORKED OUT, UM, A RESOLUTION BETWEEN THE SCHOOL SYSTEM AND NORTH CARE OF HOW THEY'RE GONNA BUILD THAT FROM GOING, GOING FORWARD.

BUT IT IS CONTINUING.

SO PERFECT.

SO THAT, THAT KIND OF SUPPORT THAT THE CITY WAS ABLE TO SPARK IS NOW GONNA CONTINUE WITH SUPPORT MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES THAT WEREN'T AVAILABLE TO OUR KIDDOS AND SCHOOL BEFORE.

UH, IT'S, IT'S MOVING FORWARD.

THAT'S AWESOME.

YEAH.

YEAH.

AND WE'LL BE HERE, I'LL BE HERE NEXT MONTH, UM, WITH HEALTHY MINDS, UM, TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON OUR MENTAL HEALTH INITIATIVE.

UM, NORTH CARE WILL BE HERE AS WELL AND SOME OTHERS TO KIND OF GIVE YOU AN UPDATE OF WHERE WE'RE AT WITH ALL OUR PROGRAMMING THAT WE'VE BEEN DOING.

VERY GOOD.

Public Hearing and Consideration of Ordinance No. ___ Amending Chapter 8.08, Decency, Morality and Public Policy of the Edmond Municipal Code by Amending Section 8.08.312 Prevention of Youth Access to Tobacco and Vapor Products Subsection (C) Receipt of Tobacco Products, Nicotine Products or Vapor Products by Minors, to Comply with Changes in State Law; and Providing for Repealer and Severability. (Citywide)]

39 77 AMENDING CHAPTER 8.08, DECENCY, MORALITY, AND PUBLIC POLICY OF THE EDMOND MUNICIPAL COURT BY AMENDING SECTIONS 8.0 8.312.

PREVENTION OF YOUTH ACCESS TO TOBACCO AND VAPOR VAPOR PRODUCTS, SUBSECTION C RECEIPT AND OF TOBACCO PRODUCTS, NICOTINE PRODUCTS OR VAPOR PRODUCTS BY MINORS TO COMPLY WITH CHANGES IN STATE LAW IN PROVIDING FOR REPEAL AND SEVERABILITY.

MAYOR COUNSEL, THE OKLAHOMA LEGISLATURE RECENTLY ADOPTED HOUSE BILL 2165, WHICH RELATES TO THE REGULATION OF TOBACCO AND NICOTINE AND VAPOR PRODUCTS FOR PERSONS UNDER THE AGE OF 21.

UM, AND THIS ORDINANCE MODIFIES THE LANGUAGE IN OUR MUNICIPAL CODE TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE NEW STATE NEW LANGUAGE IN STATE LAW AND WENT INTO EFFECT NOVEMBER ONE, MODIFIED THE PENALTY PROVISIONS TO PROVIDE FOR A FINE IN THE EVENT THE VIOLATOR FAILED TO COMPLETE A TOBACCO USE OF STATION PROGRAM.

SO A FINE MAY NOW BE OPPOSED FOR A FIRST OFFENSE THAT MAY NOT EXCEED $50 OR $100 FOR SUBSEQUENT OFFENSES.

AND THE VIOLATOR MAY ALSO BE REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THE COMMUNITY SERVICE PROGRAM.

SO THE MAIN THING IS THAT IT'S ENCOURAGING FOLKS TO COMPLETE A TOBACCO LEASE, UH, PEER PERSONS UNDER 21 YEARS OF AGE TO COMPLETE A TOBACCO USE CESSATION PROGRAM BEFORE WE EVEN TALK ABOUT FINES.

MM-HMM.

.

AND, UH, OUR MUNICIPAL COURT HAS ALREADY BEEN KIND OF FOLLOWING THAT PATTERN ANYWAY WITH ENCOURAGING FOLKS TO DO THAT.

SO THIS IS JUST TO MAKE ANY COMPLIANCE OF WHAT WE HAVE IN RECENT CHANGES IN STATE LAW.

STATE LAW.

VERY GOOD.

MR. MURDOCH DOES, UM, JUST 'CAUSE I'M NEW, DO, DO WE RECEIVE ANY OF THAT AS A MUNICIPALITY TO ADMINISTER THAT THROUGH THE COURTS LIKE OUR, OUR, WITH OUR, UM, KIND OF PAROLE OR SUPERVISION OR THE THINGS THAT WE DO? OR DOES THAT GO TO THE STATE? DOES ANY OF THAT EVER GET REMITTED BACK TO THE CITY OF THOSE FINES FOR US TO ADMINISTER THAT THIS PARTICULAR PROGRAM? YEAH.

DO MEAN THAT FINE.

I DON'T KNOW OF.

OKAY.

OKAY.

AND THEN DO WE, UH, FOLLOW UP ON THAT AS FAR AS OUR, UM, POLICY IN THE CITY OF EDMOND? I KNOW T SET HAS A VERY LARGE CORPUS OF DOLLARS,

[00:30:01]

SOMEBODY HAD TOLD ME THAT THE CITY OF EDMOND DOESN'T QUALIFY TO RECEIVE FUNDS.

IS THAT CORRECT OR DO WE NOT? DO WE KNOW? WELL, THEY HAVE A VARIETY OF PROGRAMS THAT ARE ELIGIBLE FOR, SOME CITIES ARE ELIGIBLE FOR AND SOME THAT AREN'T.

I DON'T KNOW SPECIFICALLY WHAT PROGRAM THAT WE ARE ELIGIBLE FOR.

THERE ARE SOME REQUIREMENTS.

AGAIN, I DON'T KNOW FOR SURE I CAN CHECK IT OUT.

UM, I, SOMEONE HAD MENTIONED THAT WE HADN'T BEEN AWARDED TSET AND IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH OUR POLICY AROUND NICOTINE, BUT I'LL, I CAN LOOK AT THAT FURTHER.

I DIDN'T KNOW, I JUST THOUGHT I'D RAISE A QUESTION SINCE I'D HEARD THAT.

THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THIS IS STILL A PUBLIC HEARING.

ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS FROM THE AUDIENCE COUNCIL? SEEING NONE, WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO ON ITEM FIVE B? UH, MOVE TO APPROVE.

YOU HAVE A MOTION? SECOND.

THANK YOU MAYOR.

UH, PLEASURE TO BE WITH EVERYONE THIS EVENING.

CORY ATKISSON, CITY CLERK.

UM, THE ORDINANCE IN FRONT OF YOU FOR CONSIDERATION IS A REVISION TO, UH, THE OUTDOOR SELLER'S PERMIT, WHICH WAS ORIGINALLY CREATED IN AUGUST OF 2018.

UM, AFTER SOME, UM, CHALLENGES IN ADMINISTRATION, UH, AND MAKING SURE THAT, UH, EVERYONE HAD THE ABILITY TO FOLLOW THE RULES AND THAT THE RULES WERE CLEAR, UH, STAFF HAVE DEVELOPED A, UH, PROPOSED ORDINANCE, UH, TO MAKE A FEW CHANGES TO THIS, UH, RELEVANT SECTION, WHICH IS IDENTIFIED ON THE SCREEN BEFORE YOU.

UM, SO THOSE MAJOR CHANGES ARE THAT WE ARE CLARIFYING THAT OUTDOOR SELLER PERMITS ARE ISSUED TO A PERSON OR BUSINESS FOR A SPECIFIC LOT, THAT THE PERMITS SHALL BE ISSUED, UH, FOR A MAXIMUM OF 180 DAYS PER CALENDAR YEAR.

THAT THE PERMITS MUST BE AT LEAST 30 DAYS.

THAT BETWEEN, SO FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU PULL A PERMIT THAT EXPIRES, UH, AT THE END OF MARCH, YOU HAVE TO HAVE 30 DAYS BEFORE YOU CAN PULL THE NEXT PERMIT.

UM, THAT, UH, PERMITS WILL BE ISSUED FOR A MINIMUM OF 30 DAYS AND A A MAXIMUM 180 DAYS.

SO THE ORIGINAL, UH, PERMIT AND WHY I, I BELIEVE THAT THIS WAS A, UM, UH, SOMETHING THAT THE, THE CITY WANTED TO REGULATE WAS IF, IF A, UH, ENTITY OR BUSINESS IS GONNA BE OPERATING ON A MORE PERMANENT BASIS, WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE FOLLOWING RELEVANT HEALTH CODES, RE RELEVANT BUILDING CODES, RELEVANT FIRE CODES.

AND SO REALLY THIS ORDINANCE IS TRYING TO DRAW THE LINE OF WHAT IS A TEMPORARY USE VERSUS WHAT IS A MORE PERMANENT USE.

AND SO IF IT IS NOT A PERMANENT USE, YOU KNOW, MAYBE WE DON'T NEED TO GO THROUGH THE WHOLE SITE PLAN DEVELOPMENT OR ALL THESE OTHER THINGS WOULD BE REQUIRED FOR A PERMANENT UH, STRUCTURE.

SO THIS IS KIND OF A WAY FOR SOMEONE TO DO THIS IN PROPERTY THAT IS ZONED FOR OPEN DISPLAY.

SO IT ONLY, UH, APPLIES FOR PROPERTY ZONE OPEN DISPLAY.

IT DOES NOT, UH, INCLUDE FOOD TRUCKS.

FOOD TRUCKS ARE EXEMPT FROM THIS PERMIT.

UM, OTHER CHANGES, UM, THAT ARE INCLUDED AS JUST, UM, PROVIDING SOME CLARITY THAT WE ALSO MAY ASK FOR, YOU KNOW, SITE LAYOUTS, TRAFFIC PLANS.

BUT WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING THAT SOMEONE COULD DRAW OFF GOOGLE MAPS.

IT'S NOT A PROFESSIONALLY RENDERED, UH, TRAFFIC PLAN OR SOMETHING OF THAT NATURE.

UM, IN ADDITION TO THIS, WE'VE ALSO, UM, PROPOSED RAISING THE PERMIT FEE FROM $50 TO $100.

UM, THAT WOULD BE, UH, BECAUSE WE'RE HAVING MORE STAFF REVIEW, UH, THE PROPOSED TRAFFIC PLANS, SAFETY PLANS, THINGS LIKE THAT.

AND SO THAT WOULD BE COVER STAFF COSTS.

AND FINALLY, THE ORIGINAL PERMIT DID NOT HAVE A PENALTY CLAUSE AND WE FELT IT APPROPRIATE IF WE WERE GOING TO HAVE A REQUIREMENT, UH, FOR A PENALTY TO EXIST FOR BREACHING IT.

UM, THIS WAS HEARD BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION AT THEIR MEETING LAST WEEK.

IT WAS RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL BY A VOTE OF THREE TO ONE.

UM, AND WITH THAT I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

COUNCIL, ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE CITY CLERK? THANK YOU.

YOU WERE, UH, DONE A LOT OF WORK ON SOMETHING WHEN YOU WERE, UM, ASKED AND WE RECEIVED SOME INFORMATION ABOUT A HISTORICAL VENDOR THERE.

AND COREY, YOU'VE BEEN NOTHING BUT RESPONSIVE AND HELPFUL AND, UM, VERY DETAILED AND YOUR RESPONSES.

AND, UH, LIKE I SAID, IT'S BEEN, IT WAS GOING ON BEFORE THE PERMIT EXISTED AND IT'S STILL GOING TODAY AND I THINK PEOPLE LIKE IT.
