JANET YAL IS COMING TO GIVE A PRESENTATION.

GOOD EVENING.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

JANET Y THE DIRECTOR OF THE ADMIN ECONOMIC AUTHORITY.

UM, I WILL JUST GO OVER MY MISSION AND, UM, SOME OF THE THINGS THAT ARE OUR PRIORITIES.

SO BASICALLY, HERE'S OUR MISSION STATEMENT.

I LIKE TO SAY THAT,

[00:10:01]

UH, WE OFFER SERVICES, UH, TO HELP COMPANIES GROW OR BRING COMPANIES IN.

UH, SO FIRST AND FOREMOST ARE EXISTING COMPANIES AND THEN RECRUITING COMPANIES IN WHETHER TO PROVIDE JOBS OR TO INCREASE THE SALES TAX BASE OF EDMOND.

HERE ARE AREAS OF FOCUS, JOB CREATION, WHETHER THEY'RE PRIMARY OR SECONDARY.

PRIMARY ARE NON-RETAIL AND SECONDARY ARE BASICALLY RETAIL JOBS.

IDENTIFY POSSIBLE LOCATIONS FOR PROJECTS AND PRESERVE AND ENHANCE EXISTING BUSINESS COMMUNITY.

UNDER BUSINESS CLIMATE, WE TRY AND CREATE THE KIND OF ENVIRONMENT FOR COMPANIES TO GROW.

WE DON'T CREATE JOBS, BUT WE WANT OUR COMPANIES TO HAVE THE KIND OF ENVIRONMENT THAT WILL MAKE THEM SUCCESSFUL.

AND SO IF THEY ASK FOR THINGS, WE CUSTOMIZE WHAT WE CAN DO FOR EACH COMPANY.

UH, WE HAVE A MARKETING AND COMMUNICATION STRATEGY THAT, UH, BASICALLY WE PROMOTE THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY.

WE CAN DO PRESS RELEASES FOR COMPANIES THAT ARE TOO SMALL TO DO THAT FOR THEMSELVES, ALL THE WAY UP TO MARKETING ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

AND THEN WE PROMOTE OUR AVAILABLE REAL ESTATE, WHICH IS REALLY A FULL-TIME JOB IN ITSELF.

WE TRY AND KEEP UP WITH ALL LAND AND BUILDINGS THAT ARE AVAILABLE, AND WE PROMOTE THEM FOR THE APPROPRIATE USE.

AND THEN UNDER RESEARCH, WE MAINTAIN ACCURATE DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION.

WE MAINTAIN THE ACCURATE REAL ESTATE INFORMATION, AND THEN WE PREPARE ECONOMIC IMPACT REPORTS.

HERE'S A WHOLE LISTING OF SOME OF THE SERVICES WE PROVIDE.

ALL OF THESE ARE AVAILABLE ON OUR WEBSITE.

UH, LIKE I SAID, MARKETING SERVICES.

UH, WE HAVE A MONTHLY NEWSLETTER WHERE WE COMBINE AND COMPILE ALL EDMOND INFORMATION AND SEND THAT OUT TO PEOPLE ON OUR DATA.

OUR DATABASE OF SEVERAL THOUSAND PEOPLE.

UH, WE KEEP A COMPREHENSIVE REAL ESTATE DATABASE.

THIS IS, UM, WE HAVE A PRODUCT THAT WE PURCHASE THAT HELPS US DO THAT.

UH, WE MAINTAIN CONTACTS WITH COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE COMPANIES, AND THEN WE ALSO ASSIST THE INDIVIDUALS THAT MAY JUST HAVE ONE PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT NEED HELP PROMOTING THAT.

WE HAVE SEVERAL EVENTS EACH YEAR, UH, ON MONTHLY REPORTS.

WE, UH, KEEP SALES TAX INFORMATION IN ALL DIFFERENT KINDS OF REPORTS, UH, DEMO DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION.

AND AGAIN, WE KEEP ALL OF THAT ON OUR WEBSITE.

UM, COST OF LIVING IS ANOTHER THING I'LL POINT OUT.

WE DO QUARTERLY COST OF LIVING SURVEYS THAT CAN BE COMPARED WITH 300 CITIES NATIONWIDE.

IF SOMEBODY'S MOVING IN AND WANTS TO KNOW THE COST OF THINGS, WE CAN ASSIST WITH THAT.

OR IF THEY'RE MOVING TO ANOTHER CITY SOMEWHERE ELSE, WE CAN HELP WITH THAT.

AND THEN AGAIN, ECONOMIC IMPACT REPORTS SHOWING BENEFITS AND OF PROJECTS AND EVENTS IN EDMOND.

UM, SO SOME OF THE THINGS I WANNA HIGHLIGHT FROM OUR MAJOR EMPLOYERS.

WE HAD CONTINUAL JOB GROWTH OVER THE LAST YEAR, ALTHOUGH WE REALLY HAD A SLOWING IN THE COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY IN THE ECONOMY IN IN 2023.

IT'S PICKING UP IN 24, BUT OUR EMPLOYERS HERE ARE HOLDING THEIR OWN.

UH, THE MEDICAL INDUSTRY IS SITTING AT OVER 2000, UH, JOBS IN TOTAL AND PROVIDE AN ANNUAL ECONOMIC IMPACT OF OVER $400 MILLION.

UH, SEVERAL OF THOSE FACILITIES ARE EITHER GOING TO EXPAND IN SPACE THEY CURRENTLY HAVE OR ADD NEW SPACE.

UH, LATER THIS YEAR, IN THE CASE OF INTEGRIS, UH, TWO COMPANIES HAVE JUST BEEN AWARDED THROUGH THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE, OKLAHOMA INNOVATION EXPANSION FUNDING FOR CAPITAL PROJECTS THAT, UH, THEY SUBMITTED AND RECEIVED FUNDING FOR THAT WILL INCREASE THEIR PRODUCTIVITY.

THAT WAS PELCO AND JETTA.

AND OTHER THINGS WE'RE DOING ARE MAPPING OUR CURRENT REAL ESTATE THAT CAN BE POTENTIAL SITES FOR DEVELOPMENT, UM, ALONG THE I 35 CORRIDOR AND GOING EAST.

SO I THINK THOSE ARE REALLY THE HIGHLIGHTS.

I CAN ANSWER ANYTHING THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE.

COUNSEL, ANY QUESTION, COMMENTS? NO.

WE APPRECIATE WHAT YOU DO.

I DO, I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION.

UH, AS THE, AS WE CONTINUE TO GROW AND AS THE SURROUNDING COM COMMUNITY, UH, CONTINUES TO GROW, UH, ALWAYS HAVE THE STATEMENT, THERE'S CRUMBS THAT ARE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY GONNA DROP.

UH, ARE WE LOOKING AT HOW CAN WE PICK UP THOSE CRUMBS? SOME PEOPLE CALL 'EM NICKELS AND DIMES AND PENNIES, BUT I CALL 'EM CRUMBS.

ARE WE LOOKING AT HOW WE CAN, UM, FROM OUR COMMUNITY, OUR VANTAGE POINT, UH, ALSO BENEFIT FROM SOMETHING THAT'S NOT HERE IN EDMOND, BUT IS RIGHT ON OUR DOORSTEP?

[00:15:02]

UM, I GET YES, WE, WE DO THE BEST WE CAN WITH THAT.

I GET THE QUESTION SOMETIMES ON WHY CAN'T WE FILL UP EXISTING EMPTY SPACE, ESPECIALLY IN RETAIL, INSTEAD OF SOMEBODY GOING OUT AND WANTING THEIR OWN LOCATION SOMEWHERE ELSE.

AND DEPENDING ON, IN, IN THE CASE OF RETAILERS, WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THE RETAILERS THAT WANT TO EXPAND THAT WE HAVE THE DEMOGRAPHICS FOR IN OUR MARKET, AND THEN WHEN WE HAVE TO FIND THEM A SITE THAT MEETS THEIR NEEDS.

SO YOU KIND OF HAVE TO COMBINE THOSE THREE THINGS.

AND WE DO OUR BEST TO GET OUR INFORMATION OUT THERE AND MAINTAIN CONTACTS WITH THE, ESPECIALLY LARGER COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE COMPANIES WITHIN THE METRO AND ABLE TO DO THAT.

SO IN ORDER TO DO THAT, WE, WE HAVE CONTACTS AT ALL OF THOSE COMPANIES WE WORK WITH.

WE WORK WITH BRYANT SQUARE, EDMOND CROSSING, UM, AND EVEN THE SMALLER ONES, A COUPLE OF THEM ARE CURRENTLY FOR SALE.

AND WE'RE ASSISTING THEM WITH THAT PROCESS AS WELL.

ANYTHING ELSE, COUNSEL? THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THAT WAS JUST A PRESENTATION THAT WE HAD THERE.

NOW WE'RE GONNA RECEIVE SOME PRESENTATIONS ON THE, UH, OBJECTION.

PARDON ME? IT'S ACTUALLY APPROVE THE AGREEMENT.

OH, CONSIDER, OH, APPROVE.

UH, YOU'RE RIGHT.

UH, I'M SORRY.

COUNSEL, WE, WE DO NEED TO APPROVE THE AGREEMENT, UH, WITH THE EEDA.

IF YOU SO CHOOSE, I'D MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM SIX D.

SECOND, WE HAVE A MOTION.

AND SECOND FOR ITEM SIX D, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE.

THAT ITEM HAS PASSED.

AGREEMENT HAS BEEN APPROVED.

ANDY CONYERS, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER ADMINISTRATION.

NEXT WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT THE NEWS FACILITY AT I 35 AND 15TH STREET.

UH, STAFF IS GONNA MAKE SOME PRESENTATIONS.

YEAH, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

AND SO THERE ARE THREE ITEMS ON YOUR AGENDA THAT I'M GOING TO VISIT WITH YOU ABOUT THIS EVENING.

AND I'LL WALK THROUGH THOSE IN THE FORM OF A PRESENTATION IN JUST A MINUTE.

BUT I DID ALSO, AS WE REACH ANOTHER IMPORTANT MILESTONE IN THIS MULTI-GENERATIONAL COMMUNITY SPACE THAT IS DUE TO BREAK GROUND VERY SOON, WHICH I'LL HAVE INFORMATION ON LATER IN THE PRESENTATION.

I DID WANNA RECOGNIZE OUR PARTNERS WITH THE YMCA AND THE LIBRARY THAT ARE HERE THIS EVENING.

SO IF THEY WOULD JUST KINDLY JUST GIVE A WAVE SO WE CAN SEE WHO THEY ARE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT.

AND I'M, THERE'S A LOT OF TRUST WHEN IT COMES TO THESE PARTNERSHIPS, AND SO I'M TRUSTING THAT THEY DID THAT WITH THE SMILES THAT I SAW FROM YOU ALL.

SO, UM, I, I DID ALSO WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT TO RECOGNIZE SOMEONE THAT HAS ACTED AS AN OWNER'S REPRESENTATIVE ON THIS PROJECT FOR THE CITY OF EDMOND.

SO STEVE COMMONS, UH, WITH HIS OVER 40 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND 15 WITH THE CITY OF EDMOND RETIRED THREE YEARS AGO, BUT HAS STAYED ON, UH, IN A CONSULTANT ROLE AND HAS ACTED AS AN OWNER'S REPRESENTATIVE ON THIS PROJECT.

STEVE WAS THE POINT ON THE MITCH PARK, YMCA, UH, O OVER 14 YEARS AGO, AND WAS A NATURAL FIT FOR THIS PROJECT AS WELL, AND HAS DONE A LOT OF WORK TO GET IT TO WHERE IT IS RIGHT NOW.

SO STEVE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL THE WORK THAT YOU'VE DONE ON THIS PROJECT AND YOUR DEDICATION TO THIS.

AS WE TALKED ABOUT, UH, WITH PROJECTS OF THIS NATURE, WHEN YOU'RE HAVING THREE DIFFERENT ENTITIES, UH, POOL RESOURCES, THE COMMUNITY ALWAYS WINS.

BUT WITH WHAT COMES WITH THAT WIN IS A LOT OF WORK BEHIND THE SCENES THAT STEVE, AS WELL AS THE PARTNERS FROM THE YMC AND THE LIBRARY HAVE BEEN WORKING ON FOR MONTHS.

AND IT'S MY PRIVILEGE TO STAND IN FRONT OF YOU THIS EVENING AND TALK ABOUT THOSE AGREEMENTS.

SO WHAT THESE AGREEMENTS WILL DO IS, UM, SERVE AS THE FOUNDATION FOR THE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THIS FACILITY.

ITEM SIX E ONE IS, UH, THE FACILITY AND COST SHARING AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE THREE ENTITIES.

SO, UM, ALWAYS LIKE TO START OUT A PRESENTATION WITH A PRETTY PICTURE.

'CAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF WORDS COMING, BUT THERE ARE PRETTY PICTURES.

SO HERE IS WHAT THIS FACILITY WILL LOOK LIKE AFTER MONTHS AND MONTHS OF DESIGN, UH, WITH OUR PARTNERS FROM GH TWO DESIGN, AS WELL AS OUR CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK CROSSLAND.

[E. New Facility at I-35 and 15th Street:]

AND SO JUST SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THIS AGREEMENT.

SO IT IS CONTINGENT ON THE TWO OTHER LEASE AGREEMENTS THAT ARE IN YOUR PACKET TONIGHT FOR, UH, APPROVAL.

AND THAT IT IS A YEAR TO YEAR AGREEMENT.

AND THE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE THAT HAS BEEN ON THIS PROJECT SINCE OCTOBER OF 2022 WHEN DESIGN STARTED, WILL CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE PROJECT.

AND THE FACILITY WILL HAVE JUST A LITTLE UNDER 43 OR 53,000 SQUARE FEET, WHICH WILL BE DEDICATED TO THE YMCA.

THAT WILL INCLUDE IT IN AN AQUATIC SPACE, THE GYMNASIUM, EXERCISE ROOMS, LOCKER ROOMS, AND AN INDOOR WALKING TRACK.

AND THEN THE LIBRARY SPACE WILL BE A LITTLE OVER 12,000 SQUARE FEET AND 6,600 SQUARE FEET OF SHARED SPACE FOR

[00:20:01]

PUBLIC ACCESS.

SO HERE'S A FLOOR PLAN OF WHAT THAT WILL LOOK LIKE.

I WON'T SPEND A LOT OF TIME WALKING THROUGH A FLOOR PLAN THAT LOOKS PRETTY SMALL TO SEE ON THE SCREEN, BUT THERE IS, THERE WILL BE MORE DEDICATED SPACE.

SO PEOPLE WILL ENTER RIGHT HERE, AND THERE WILL BE THE DEDICATED SPACE, THE SHARED SPACE, WHICH WILL BE THE LOBBY, THE LARGE MEETING ROOM SPACE, AND THEN A SMALLER CONFERENCE ROOM SPACE.

SO THIS RED HIGHLIGHT HERE IS AT THE APPROXIMATELY 12,000 SQUARE FEET DEDICATED FOR THE LIBRARY.

AND THEN THIS SPACE THAT'S OUTLINED IN BLUE HERE IS THE 53,000 SQUARE FEET DEDICATED TO THE YMCA, UM, MORE PRETTY PICTURES TO BREAK UP THE WORDS.

SO THIS IS THE LOBBY.

AND THEN AS PATRONS ENTER THROUGH HERE, THE DEDICATED LIBRARY SPACE WILL BE RIGHT HERE.

THE PUBLIC MEETING ROOM SPACE WILL BE RIGHT HERE VISIBLE THROUGH FROM THE LOBBY.

AND THEN THE, THE MORE DEDICATED Y-M-C-A-Y-M-C-A SPACE WILL BE RIGHT HERE.

AND THE NATATORIUM OR THE POOL AREA WILL BE RIGHT HERE.

UH, THIS IS A PICTURE OF WHAT THE PUBLIC MEDIUM ROOM SPACE WILL LOOK LIKE.

IT WILL, UH, BE ABLE TO BE DIVIDED INTO TWO SEPARATE SPACES AND HOLD APPROXIMATELY 150 PEOPLE.

UM, ITEM SIX E TWO IS THE LEASE AGREEMENT, UH, WITH THE METRO METROPOLITAN LIBRARY COMMISSION.

AND AS A REMINDER, A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE WHY FOR THIS PROJECT.

THIS IS THE, NOT THE YMCA, THE WHY BEHIND WHY WE'RE DOING THIS PROJECT AS A COMMUNITY.

THIS IS THE BUSIEST LIBRARY CURRENTLY, THE DOWNTOWN LIBRARY IN EDMOND, THE BUSIEST LIBRARY IN THE STATE.

SO, UH, EDMOND HAS PROVEN TIME AND TIME AGAIN THAT ITS RESIDENCE VALUE, THE LIBRARY.

AND SO, UM, THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE TO TALK ABOUT BUILDING AN ADDITIONAL SPACE.

SO AGAIN, A LITTLE OVER 12,000 SQUARE FEET.

UH, AND BEFORE I GET INTO THIS, I WILL SAY THERE HAS BEEN THIS PRESENTATION, NOT THE AGREEMENTS, BUT THE PRESENTATION, VERY SLIGHT CHANGES FROM FRIDAY AFTERNOON, THE PACKET THAT'S IN FRONT OF COUNCIL, AND THEN THE PACKETS THAT'S ON THE WEBSITE.

SO JUST PROVIDE A LITTLE MORE CLARIFICATION ABOUT WHAT'S IN THE ACTUAL THREE AGREEMENTS.

UM, SO AGAIN, THE LIBRARY WILL MANAGE AND OPERATE THE LIBRARY PORTION AND THE CONTRACT TERM, UM, ONCE IT BEGINS, WILL BE FOR 25 YEARS.

AND THEN AFTER, I'M SORRY, FOR 20 YEARS, AND THEN AFTER 20 YEARS, IT RENEWS ANNUALLY.

SO, UH, THE LIBRARY WILL PAY THE YMCA FOR THE LIBRARY PORTION OF ITS UTILITY SERVICES, AND THE CITY MAY USE THE FACILITY FOR PUBLIC FENCE FOR FREE IN ACCORDANCE WITH SCHEDULING RULES AND REGULATIONS, ET CETERA, ET CETERA.

THE LIBRARY, AND THEN THE LIBRARY.

BASICALLY THE DAY-TO-DAY OPERATIONS OF THE FACILITY.

WHAT THIS SAYS WILL BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE LIBRARY.

AGAIN, THEY HAVE TO EQUIP IT AND THEY HAVE TO RUN IT.

THAT'S HOW THE AGREEMENT WORKS.

AND THEN THE EDMOND PUBLIC WORKS AUTHORITY AGREES TO CONTRIBUTE TO COST OF MAJOR REPAIRS EXCEEDING $5,000.

AND THEN ALSO JUST THINK OF THE OUTSIDE OR THE, THE SHELL OF THE STRUCTURE.

THAT'S THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE EDMOND PUBLIC WORKS AUTHORITY, AS WELL AS MAINTAINING THE PARKING LOT AND REPAIRS OF THAT.

AND THEN VERY SIMILAR WITH THE YMCA, WHICH IS ITEM SIX E THREE FOR THAT LEASE AGREEMENT.

UM, AND AGAIN, THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE LIBRARY.

AND THEN THE CITY AND THE YMCA VARIES JUST GIVEN THE PARTNERSHIPS THAT ARE INVOLVED.

SO THERE IS A PROMISSORY NOTE THAT HAD ALREADY BEEN AGREED TO BY BOTH ENTITIES THAT DICTATES THAT THE, THE YMCA WILL PAY BACK THEIR PROPORTIONATE SHARE OF THE BUILDING OVER 15 YEARS THROUGH A MONTHLY LEASE PAYMENT.

SO AGAIN, THAT'S WITH THE PRINCIPAL AND THE INTEREST.

AND IT'S CAPPED AT 13 MILLION.

SO THE INITIAL LEASE TERM WILL BE FOR 20 YEARS, AND THERE'LL BE OPTIONS TO RENEW FOR AN FOR TWO ADDITIONAL 10 YEAR TERMS. AND THEN THE YMCA IS DUE TO PROVIDE AN ANNUAL AUDIT OF THEIR FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES, AND THEY ARE ALLOWED TO MAKE TENANT IMPROVEMENTS TO THEIR PORTION OF THE SPACE OF UP TO $50,000 WITH THE APPROVAL OF THE EDMOND PUBLIC WORKS AUTHORITY.

AND THEN AGAIN, THE YMCA MUCH LIKE THE LIBRARY WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR EQUIPPING, MAINTAINING, AND OPERATING THE FACILITY.

UM, AND THAT JUST SPELLS OUT THAT A LITTLE MORE CLEARLY.

AND THEN JUST LIKE WITH THE LIBRARY SIDE OF THE BUILDING, ANY, ANY REPAIRS THAT ARE OVER $5,000, THERE'LL BE, THERE'S A COST SHARE ASSOCIATED WITH THAT.

AND THEN NEXT STEPS.

'CAUSE AS I'M SURE YOU GET ASKED, WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS WITH THIS PROJECT AND WHEN, WHEN WE BREAK GROUND.

SO HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE THAT TOMORROW THE BIDS FOR THIS PROJECT WILL CLOSE AT 2:00 PM AND SO WE WILL BE EVALUATING THOSE.

AND THEN THE HOPE IS THAT THAT BID AWARD WILL COME TO YOU AT YOUR NEXT CITY COUNCIL MEETING, WHICH IS JULY 8TH.

AND THEN THAT KEEPS US ON TRACK FOR A LATE JULY, EARLY AUGUST GROUNDBREAKING, AND THEN EARLY 2026 FOR OPENING THE FACILITY, WHICH IS AN 18 MONTH TIMEFRAME FOR CONSTRUCTION.

AND THEN, UM, THIS HAS BEEN REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR THE METROPOLITAN LIBRARY COMMISSION, THE OKLAHOMA COUNTY, AND THE YMCA GREATER OKLAHOMA CITY, UH, APPROVE THESE AGREEMENTS AS WELL.

STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL.

I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

COUNSEL, ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS ON OUR EXPANSION OF OUR LIBRARY AND OUR YMCA IN EDMOND? I'M EXCITED.

[00:25:01]

UH, APPRECIATE ALL THE HARD WORK.

I KNOW IT'S BEEN HARD WORK, UH, TO GET TO THIS POINT.

I'M GLAD THAT OUR PARTNERS ARE IN THE ROOM TODAY, UH, HELPING TO SHOW SUPPORT FOR THIS.

'CAUSE WE KNOW IT'S IMPORTANT FOR YOU ALL AND IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO, BUT WITH YOU ALL BEING THERE, THAT JUST AMPLIFIES IT.

WELL, WE HAVE, WE NEED TO TAKE EACH ITEM.

WE HAVE TO TAKE EACH ITEM INDIVIDUALLY.

OH, OKAY.

YEAH.

SO ON THIS ONE, THE RESOLUTION WILL JUST BE APPROVED WITH THE CITY COUNCIL ITEM, NOT WITH THE EPWA.

THIS ITEMS ON BOTH AGENDA.

BUILDING COMPANY, EAST X HERE, UH, AS WELL TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.

YES, SIR.

WELL, THANK YOU, UH, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

UH, BENJAMIN CURRY, THE DIRECTOR OF EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT FOR THE CITY.

UH, OUR PROJECT ISN'T AS FUN AS THE, UH, YMCA, BUT IT'S, UH, AN ESSENTIAL PROJECT THAT WE HAVE TO HAVE.

SO, UM, THE BACKGROUND, THE CITY OWNS A TWO SITE, 800 MEGAHERTZ, UH, PUBLIC SAFETY RADIO SYSTEM THAT WE USE TO COMMUNICATE WITH ALL OF OUR, UH, PUBLIC SERVICE, UH, FIRST RESPONDERS, AS WELL AS OUR ELECTRIC AND PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENTS.

WE HAVE TWO SITES.

UH, ONE IS AT THE CORNER OF MIDWEST AND DANFORTH, UH, WE CALL IT MID DAN, UH, LOCATED RIGHT NEXT TO THE WATER TREATMENT PLANT.

AND THE OTHER ONE'S AT UCO.

UH, AS I SAID, THE PRIMARY USERS ARE EVAN POLICE, EVAN FIRE ALL THE DIFFERENT PUBLIC WORKS AS WELL AS UCO, DEER CREEK FIRE AND OAK CLIFF FIRE.

WE ARE TIED TO THE OAK OAKLAND SYSTEM, THE OKLAHOMA WIRELESS INFORMATION NETWORK, WHICH COMPRISES A 43 SITE, UH, RADIO SYSTEM THAT COVERS APPROXIMATELY 70% OF THE POPULATION OF, UH, THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA.

THROUGH THAT, WE CAN TALK WITH THE HIGHWAY PATROL, WE CAN TALK WITH, UH, THE US MARSHALS, THE FBI, ALL THOSE DIFFERENT, UH, ENTITIES THAT WE MIGHT NEED.

AND THEN WE HAVE A WHOLE BUNCH OF STATE MUTUAL AID CHANNELS THAT ARE SET UP AS WELL AS REGIONAL MUTUAL AID CHANNELS THAT ARE SET UP.

SO SHOULD WE HAVE SOME LARGE SCALE DISASTER THAT WE NEED, UH, TO BE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE, WE CAN ALL SWITCH OVER TO THOSE DIFFERENT FREQUENCIES.

WHY ARE WE BUILDING A NEW TOWER? UH, UCO APPROACHED US APPROXIMATELY JUNE OF 21.

SO THEY WANTED TO EXPAND THEIR FOOTBALL STADIUM.

THEY WANNA PUT IN SOME SUITES AND REALLY, UH, UH, UPDO THAT OUR TOWERS SITTING RIGHT NEXT TO THAT, RIGHT IN THE WAY OF THAT.

SO WE STARTED, UH, THE SEARCH TO BUILD A NEW RADIO TOWER AND QUICKLY LEARNED THAT WE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING THERE WAS.

SO THAT'S WHEN WE WENT AND HIRED ROB STOLTZ FROM SULTS TELECOM CEDAR OVER HERE.

AND, UH, HE CAME ON AS OUR RADIO TOWER CONSULTANT, HELPED US DEVELOP AN RFP, HELPED US GET, UH, THE DIFFERENT CITY DEPARTMENTS TOGETHER TO COME UP WITH WHAT OUR NEEDS WERE FOR THIS NEW TOWER.

UH, FEBRUARY 15TH OF THIS YEAR, WE RELEASED AN RFP AND WE, UH, RECEIVED BACK FOUR BIDS, UH, RANGING FROM 1.3 MILLION TO 2.9 MILLION.

UH, WE THEN HELD A WEEK OF PRESENTATIONS, WENT THROUGH, ASKED QUESTIONS, AND THEN STARTED NEGOTIATIONS WITH OUR LOWEST BIDDER.

UH, HERE ON THE BOTTOM, I'M SORRY, THE LEFT SIDE.

YOU CAN SEE THE CURRENT LOCATION DOWN AT THE BOTTOM OF UCO WE'RE, UH, UH, ANTICIPATING MOVING AT APPROXIMATELY TWO MILES TO THE NO NORTHWEST, UM, TO SIT THERE IN THE 3,600 BLOCK OF NORTH BOULEVARD, UH, MONON CITY OWNED PROPERTY THERE.

UH, THE HEIGHT OF THE TOWER WILL STILL GIVE US THE SAME, UM, COVERAGE THAT WE NEED ACROSS THE CITY, UH, THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE.

NOW, UH, THIS IS A, A QUICK RENDERING OF, UH, WHAT THE TOWER BUILDER SUBMITTED TO US.

SO WE PLAN TO BUILD A 400 FOOT SELF-SUPPORTING TOWER, HAS A WIND LOAD OF 150 MILES AN HOUR, AND THAT'S SUSTAINED.

EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE, UH, TOWER BUILDERS THAT SUBMITTED, UH, BIDS TO US, SAID THAT THIS THING WAS COMPLETELY OVERBUILT.

UM, AND WE DIDN'T NEED SOMETHING THIS STRONG AT THE SAME TIME.

THAT'S WHEN, UM, THE MARIETTA TORNADOES WERE HIT HAPPENING, THE BARNESVILLE TORNADOES.

AND WE SAID, NOW IF WE'RE GONNA PUT THIS IN THE MIDDLE OF A RESIDENTIAL AREA, WE WANNA MAKE SURE WE HAVE SOMETHING THAT'S EXTREMELY STRONG THAT'S NOT GONNA HAVE THIS ISSUE.

SO, UM, WE DO HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE FROM, UH, THE TOWER

[00:30:01]

UH, AFTER APPROVAL, IT SHOULD WE GET APPROVAL TODAY, UH, THEY'LL HAVE ONE YEAR TO CONSTRUCT THIS PROJECT, AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE OR I CAN BRING IN OUR TOWER BUILDER.

WE'RE RADIO CONSULTANT IF YOU HAVE ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS.

UH, LAST THURSDAY, WE DID HOLD A PUBLIC MEETING, UM, AND NOTIFIED EVERYBODY THAT LIVES OR, UM, OWNS PROPERTY WITHIN A THOUSAND FEET OF THE TOWER SITE.

UH, WE HAD THREE FOLKS SHOW UP.

WE ANSWERED ALL THEIR QUESTIONS AND, UM, ACTUALLY MAY HAVE ENDED UP RECRUITING ONE OF THEIR SONS TO JOIN THE FIRST RESPONDERS HERE IN EDMOND.

SO IT WAS A GOOD MEETING.

VERY GOOD MEETING.

WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, COUNSEL.

I DON'T BELIEVE I'VE BEEN IN A COMMUNITY MEETING THAT HAD SO MANY DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS THAT WERE ALL, UM, REPRESENTED AND THEY'RE READY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTION THAT WAS AVAILABLE AND TO HIRE FOLKS.

UH, THE TOTAL AMOUNT, UH, FOR THIS YEAR IS $240,302.

I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT THIS AGREEMENT IS NOT CONNECTED WITH THE UNCOMMON GROUND SCULPTURE PARK AND PARK CONSERVANCY TRUST ACTIVITIES THERE.

THIS TRUST WAS ACTUALLY SET UP TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THAT, UH, WHEN IT'S COMPLETED, UH, BACK SET UP FOUR YEARS AGO.

AND THEN THE DECISION WAS MADE TO ADMINISTER THE PUBLIC ART PROGRAM CITYWIDE THROUGH, UH, THIS AGREEMENT.

UH, IT'S BEEN A SUCCESSFUL AGREEMENT.

LAST YEAR WE ADDED 13, UH, NEW PIECES TO THE CITY'S INVENTORY.

TWO OF THOSE WERE, UH, CIP PIECES FOR $18,000.

UH, THE PRIVATE FUNDS, UH, WHICH WERE MATCHED BY THE CITY PRIVATE FUNDS WERE $328,810.

THE PUBLIC FUNDS TO MATCH WERE 191,000, ONE 50.

SO THERE WAS $137,660 OVER AND ABOVE THE CITY'S MATCH THAT WAS CONTRIBUTED BY THE PRIVATE SECTOR, UH, UNDER THE PUBLIC PRIVATE DONOR PROGRAM.

UH, WHAT THAT MEANS IS THE CITY CAN PAY $30,000 UP TO ITS MAX FOR HALF OF A PIECE.

WE'VE HAD PIECES THAT WERE $80,000 PIECES THAT THE CITY PAID THEIR MAX OF 30.

THE PRIVATE DONOR PAID 50.

UH, SO THAT'S AN EXAMPLE OF HOW YOU GET MORE ON THE PRIVATE SIDE.

AND THAT'S USUALLY THE CASE.

THE PRIVATE SIDE USUALLY RUNS HIGHER THAN THE PUBLIC SIDE.

UM, THE MAIN ACTIVITY THIS LAST YEAR WAS THE, UH, WEBSITE.

I THINK ALL OF YOU'RE AWARE THAT ART EDMOND, UH, WENT ONLINE ABOUT A MONTH AGO.

THAT WAS A CUMBERSOME PROCESS TO GET EVERYTHING ON THAT SITE, GET IT PROOFED.

UH, IF YOU LOOK AT IT, THERE'S A WHOLE LOT OF READING ABOUT ARTISTS AND ABOUT PIECES.

UH, UH, BUT THAT IS ON SITE.

IT HAD 17,000 HITS THE FIRST MONTH, WHICH I THINK IS PRETTY GOOD.

AND, UH, WE'VE GOT A CALL FOR ARTISTS FOR SOME CIP PROJECTS THAT ARE PENDING.

AND WE'VE ACTUALLY HAD IN THAT MONTH, UH, REPLIES FROM ARTISTS, NOT JUST IN OKLAHOMA, SEVERAL FROM OKLAHOMA, BUT FROM CALIFORNIA, COLORADO, ARKANSAS, UTAH, POLAND OF ALL PLACES, UH, TEXAS AND NEW YORK.

SO, UH, WE'RE GETTING NATIONWIDE COVERAGE.

UH, THE LAST THING I WANNA SAY IS, AND THEN I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS.

I THINK ALL OF YOU GOT A COPY OF THIS BOOK, ECONOMIC, UH, THE ECONOMIC POWER OF PUBLIC ART AND ANNUAL PUBLICATION NATIONWIDE.

AND, UH, SEND TO THE PUBLIC ART DIRECTOR, HAD TALKED TO THESE PEOPLE, UH, ABOUT THIS PUBLICATION AND, AND GOT SEVERAL COPIES FOR THE CITY.

SHE HAD VISITED WITH 'EM ABOUT OUR PROGRAM, AND THEN I CALLED 'EM UP AND VISITED WITH THE EDITOR ABOUT THE PROGRAM.

THEY'D NEVER HEARD OF ANYBODY DOING ANYTHING LIKE EDMOND'S DUNN.

AND THEY WERE KIND OF INTRIGUED BY IT AND SHOCKED WHEN I TOLD 'EM HOW MANY PIECES WE'D ACQUIRED OVER 20 PLUS YEARS.

AND, UH, I DO THINK AFTER DISCUSSIONS WITH THEM THAT NEXT YEAR EDMOND WILL BE THE FEATURED CITY IN THIS PUBLICATION BECAUSE OF WHAT WE DO IT AND HOW WE DO IT.

UH, IT'S DIFFERENT AND IT'S A MODEL THAT OTHER CITIES WOULD LIKE TO ADOPT.

SO, HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

THIS AGREEMENT ADMINISTERS THE PUBLIC ART PROGRAM.

SO, AND MAINTAINS YOUR, I'M ASSUMING YOU HAVE ALL THAT ON POWERPOINT.

I DID.

UH, I DID, AND I WAS GONNA, AND I HAD PRINTED PICTURES AND THEN I, THERE WAS A BUTTON ON THIS NEW COMPUTER.

IT SAID DEL, AND I THOUGHT THAT MEANT DELIVER TO YOU, BUT IT WAS DELETE, SO I DELETED THE WHOLE THING.

I LIKE YOUR STUFF AFTER I'D SPENT HOURS, DAYS WORKING ON IT, I HAD A SIMPLE QUESTION ON, WELL, WE HAVE A CALL FOR A NEW ARTIST.

AND YOU SAID ONE HAS COME IN FROM POLAND.

WELL, NO, THEY, THEY SUBMITTED IT, THEIR, UH, THEIR APPLICATION AND THEIR INTEREST, BUT, UH, THEY'RE NOT COMING HERE.

[00:40:01]

WELL, WELL, YEAH.

WELL, WELL, THE QUESTION IS, IF WE DID HAVE SOMEONE FROM OUT OF STATE, OUT OF COUNTRY, YEAH.

UH, THEY COME HERE ON, IF THEY HAD TO COME HERE, THEY COME HERE ON THEIR OWN DYE OR, UH, WE GENERALLY, UH, WELL, WE'VE NEVER HAD THAT EXPERIENCE, UH, TO DATE.

UH, THERE IS PROVISION, I THINK, IN THE ORDINANCE, AND I, UH, IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE I READ THAT, WHERE WE CAN HELP IF IT'S A COMMISSION DEAL WHERE WE HAVE ARTISTS COME FOR A COMPETITION, UH, WE CAN SUBMIT I THINK SOME, OR HELP THEM WITH SOME TRAVEL.

WE'VE NEVER DONE THAT.

UH, AND I'M CHINCHY AS LONG AS I, WELL, OF COURSE I'M NOT ON THE BACK.

I'M JUST ON THE TRUST.

UH, UH, I WOULD PROBABLY NOT AGREE TO THAT UNLESS IT WAS SOMETHING VERY UNUSUAL.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COUNSEL? ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? UH, COMMENTS ON, THANK YOU, MAYOR.

THANK YOU, SIR.

ON ITEM 10 C, NOTHING, UH, I, I MOVE TO APPROVE ITEM 10 C.

THANK YOU MAYOR COUNCIL.

KEN BRIAN, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING.

UM, CONTINUING IN THE THEME OF PARTNERSHIPS THIS EVENING.

WE HAVE AN AGREEMENT HERE WITH A CONSULTANT TEAM, BUT ON THE, ON OUR SIDE IS THE, THE CITY OF EDMOND IS PARTNERING WITH UNIVERSITY OF CENTRAL OKLAHOMA AND THE EEDA REPRESENTATIVES OF WHICH ARE HERE AND WE'LL GIVE AWAY.

UM, SO, UH, TAKING A LOOK AT WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IN TERMS OF THIS MASTER PLAN, UM, THE OVERVIEW OF, OF THIS PROJECT IS CREATE A MASTER PLAN FOR THE AREA WEST OF CAMPUS, UM, ESPECIALLY FOCUSING ON UCO OWNED PARCELS ON THE WEST SIDE OF UNIVERSITY AVENUE.

ADDITIONALLY, THE MASTER PLAN CAN PROVIDE A CLEAR PATH FORWARD FOR THE REST OF THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.

SO, UH, TAKING A LOOK AT THE MAP, I KNOW THERE'S A LOT GOING ON HERE, SO I'LL TRY TO STEP THROUGH IT.

THE, UH, THE PARCELS HIGHLIGHTED IN BLUE, KIND OF ALONG HERE ON THE WEST SIDE OF UNIVERSITY.

THOSE ARE CURRENTLY OWNED BY THE UNIVERSITY OF CENTRAL OKLAHOMA.

UM, THE AREA OUTLINED HERE WILL BE THE, THE NEIGHBORHOOD MASTER PLAN STUDY AREA.

THE GREEN HATCHING IS OUR TIFF DISTRICT.

AND THEN THE PURPLE HATCHING IS, UM, THE OPPORTUNITY ZONE.

SO THAT'S A CENSUS TRACT.

SO YOU CAN SEE THERE'S A LOT GOING ON IN THE SOUTHERN PART OF THIS STUDY AREA WHERE WE HAVE UNIVERSITY OWNED PARCELS, TIFF, DISTRICT, AND OPPORTUNITY ZONE, ALL OVERLAPPING.

SO IT'S A, IT'S A REAL AREA OF OPPORTUNITY, UH, FOR OUR, FOR OUR DOWNTOWN AND FOR THE UNIVERSITY.

UM, THE STUDY OR THE, UH, THE MASTER PLAN WILL INCLUDE A MARKET STUDY, WHICH WILL COVER NOT JUST THE, THE NEIGHBORHOOD AREA, BUT ALSO THE TIF DISTRICT AND THE DOWNTOWN, UM, DOWNTOWN ITSELF.

SO THAT'S A KIND OF AN ADDITIONAL BONUS THAT WE GET WHEN WE DO A, DO A PLAN LIKE THIS AND ENGAGE THE CONSULTANT TEAM.

UH, IN TERMS OF THE SCOPE OF WORK HERE, JUST SOME HIGHLIGHTS FOR THIS PROJECT.

SO OF COURSE WE'LL ENGAGE A STEERING COMMITTEE AND KEY STAKEHOLDERS.

THERE'LL BE WORKSHOPS AND PUBLIC MEETINGS.

SOMETHING THAT CONSULTANT HAS EXPERIENCE WITH IN A LOT OF SUCCESS DOING THAT THEY REFER TO AS A STACKING SESSION.

SO THAT'S SORT OF A, MY UNDERSTANDING IS A PUBLIC WORKSHOP IN SOME WAY THAT YOU, UM, THAT THEY WALK PEOPLE THROUGH AN EXERCISE TO BUILD, UM, WHAT MIGHT BE A, THE BUILDING INTENSITY ON PARTICULAR PARCELS OR BLOCKS.

UM, OF COURSE THERE'LL BE ONLINE EXPERIENCES AS WELL.

WE'LL STUDY EXISTING CONDITIONS, AND NOT JUST THE LAND USE, BUT MOBILITY OPPORTUNITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE.

UH, STRENGTHENING CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THE UNIVERSITY, THE ADJACENT NEIGHBORHOOD, AND THE DOWNTOWN CORE WILL BE, UH, A COMMON THEME THROUGHOUT THIS STUDY.

I REFERENCED THE MARKET STUDY EARLIER, SO, UM, THAT'LL BE A, A MAJOR COMPONENT OF THIS PLAN.

UM, CREATE PREFERRED CONCEPT PLANS.

THAT'LL INCLUDE ILLUSTRATIONS, 3D MODELS, VISUALIZATIONS, DISCUSSIONS OF PARKING, CIRCULATION, MOBILITY STRATEGIES.

AND THEN, UH, AS WE FOCUS IN ON THOSE UCO OWNED PARCELS, WE'LL IDENTIFY VIABLE DEVELOPMENT SCENARIOS AND WHAT THE FINANCING FOR THOSE MIGHT LOOK LIKE.

UM, IN TERMS OF FUNDING, UH, UCO AND EEDA EACH CONTRIBUTED $50,000 TO THIS STUDY.

AND THEN THE CITY OF EDMOND IS PROVIDING THE BALANCE, 115,000.

UM, THAT MONEY IS COMING FROM THE PLANNINGS 20, UH, FY 24 BUDGET.

UH, WE WERE ABLE TO,

[00:45:01]

UM, PROVIDE THAT FUNDING BECAUSE WE WERE, WE SUCCESSFULLY, UH, WON SOME GRANTS TO OFFSET, OFFSET THE, UH, SOME OTHER STUDIES THAT WE HAD PLANNED.

SO YOU'LL, YOU'LL HEAR MORE ABOUT THAT.

UM, HOPEFULLY SOON STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE AGREEMENT.

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

COUNSEL, UH, ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS ON THIS? UH, COMPLETING THIS MASTER PLAN, I'M EXCITED ABOUT THE CONCEPT OF CONNECTING, UH, DOWNTOWN EDMOND WITH UNIVERSITY OF CENTRAL OKLAHOMA.

I THINK IT'LL BE QUITE PROSPEROUS FOR BOTH ENTITIES AND CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT HAPPEN AND SEE WHAT IDEAS THEY HAVE IS ONE OF THE TOPICS OF THE CONVERSATIONS, UH, IT'S BEEN, IS THAT HOW DO WE BRING, UH, UCO AND CITY OF EDMOND DOWNTOWN CLOSER TOGETHER, EVEN THOUGH YOU CAN LOOK FROM ONE SIDE TO SEE ACROSS THE STREET.

UH, WHAT ARE OTHER WAYS TO BRING, UH, EDMOND RESIDENTS PARTICIPATING AND GOING TO UCO FOR OTHER THINGS BESIDES JUST EDUCATIONAL THINGS, JUST ALL OF THE OTHER ACTIVITIES THEY PROVIDE AND HOW CAN WE BRING UCO STUDENTS AND THEIR STAFF IN THE DOWNTOWN EDMOND ALSO TO, TO PROTECT AND WHAT WE ARE PROVIDING HERE TOO.

SO THIS IS TO HELP, TRYING TO HELP BRIDGE THAT GAP THERE.

YEAH, THE CONNECTIVITY IS, UM, IS THE PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE TWO IS, IS AN AMMA WILL BE AN AMAZING PARTNERSHIP AND I'M EXCITED TO BLEND THE TWO.

HORNBY ARCHITECTS IS, IS A REPRESENTATIVE.

THEY'RE HERE.

COUNSEL, UM, STAFF WOULD LIKE TO START IT OFF.

YES, AS INDICATED THAT APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A MODIFICATION OF THE CITY ZONING MAP FROM A SINGLE FAMILY TO PLAN UNIT DEVELOPMENT OR PUD TO ALLOW TWO FAMILY STRUCTURES.

THE SITE SHOWN HERE NEAR WALNUT FIRST IS 16,250 SQUARE FEET CURRENTLY DEVELOPED AS TWO LOTS, BUT IT ACTUALLY INCLUDES FOUR PLATTED LOTS FROM THE ORIGINAL PLAT.

THE PUD WOULD ALLOW FOUR DUPLEXES OR TWO DUPLEXES AND TWO SINGLE FAMILY UNITS.

THE NEARBY ZONING AND USES ARE RESIDENTIAL AND INCLUDE BOTH SINGLE FAMILY AND TWO FAMILY STRUCTURES AND USES.

THE PUD INCLUDES PARKING SPACES FOR THESE DWELLINGS, BOTH ANGLED ON STREET ALONG FIRST STREET AND OFF THE ALLEY.

A SIDEWALK WILL BE CONSTRUCTED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF FIRST STREET.

THE EDMOND PLAN CATEGORIZES THIS LOCATION IS URBAN NEIGHBORHOOD, WHICH ENVISIONS A VARIETY OF LIVING OPTIONS BETWEEN MORE INTENSE DOWNTOWN AREAS AND LESS INTENSE SUBURBAN AREAS.

DEVELOPMENT IN THIS CATEGORY SHOULD SUPPORT ACTIVE MOBILITY AND WALKABILITY AT THEIR REGULARLY SCHEDULED PUBLIC HEARING.

ON JUNE 4TH, 2024, THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED APPROVAL BY A VOTE OF FIVE TO ZERO.

HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.

UM, I HAVE ONE QUESTION TO REFRESH MY MEMORY ON THE ANGLE PARKING, IS THAT JUST STANDARD PULL IN ANGLE PARKING OR BACK END ANGLE PARKING? JUST REGULAR.

ALL FRONT END ANGLE PARKING, REGULAR FRONT END ANGLE PARKING.

WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING AND THAT THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN APPROVED AND BUILT IS THAT THEY BUTTED, UH, BUTTED BOTH OF THE, UH, THE, UH, BUILDINGS TOGETHER AND THEY CREATED TWO FOURPLEXES ON THE THAT PROPERTY.

COUNSEL, ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? WOULD THE APPLICANT LIKE THE ADD ANYTHING TO THE APPLICATION? HELLO, MY NAME IS DAVID HORNBY.

I REPRESENT THE OWNER OF THIS PROPERTY AND UM, I CAN TELL YOU THAT ONE BLOCK WEST OF THIS PROPERTY AND ONE BLOCK NORTH, THERE IS A VERY, VERY SIMILAR UM, OCCURRED.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN

[01:00:01]

SO I DON'T BELIEVE THIS AS ANY POLICY OR ANYTHING DIFFERENT THAN WHAT HAS ALREADY BEEN APPROVED FOR THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.

UM, WHAT WE WE'RE, WE'RE GOING TO DO THEM AS SEPARATE UNITS SINCE IT'S A LITTLE MORE COSTLY BECAUSE WE PAY FOR TWO WALLS WHERE THAT IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, THEY WOULD, WOULD PAY FOR ONLY ONE.

BUT WE WANT TO DO THAT BECAUSE WE WANT TO BUILD THEM AND SEE HOW SUCCESSFUL THEY ARE BEFORE WE COMPLETE ALL OF THEM.

WE EVEN PUT INTO OUR PROPOSAL THAT IF, IF AFTER TWO WE UH, WANT TO, WE CAN GO BACK WITH ANOTHER SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENT ON THE REMAINING LOT.

COUNSEL, ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS FOR THE APPLICANT? THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL OF A PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR HONEY FIELD LOCATED ON THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF KELLY COVE.

HONEY FIELD DEVELOPMENT LSCS THE APPLICANT IS APPLICANT HERE.

YES SIR.

AS INDICATED, THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING APPROVAL OF A PRELIMINARY PLAT AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF COVELL AND KELLY.

UH, YOU CAN SEE ON THE MAP THE AREA TO BE PLATTED INCLUDES APPROXIMATELY 55 ACRES OF THE KELLY CORNER, PUD.

THAT PUD WAS APPROVED IN APRIL OF 2023.

PRELIMINARY PLAT INCLUDES FIVE LOTS RANGING IN SIZE FROM 2.3 TO 13 AND A HALF ACRES.

THAT'S, YOU KNOW, SECONDARY CONNECTIVITY.

THE PRELIMINARY PLAT SHOWS FOUR POINTS OF ACCESS, WHICH ALIGN WITH EXISTING STREETS AND DRIVES.

UM, THE REASON YOU'RE SEEING THIS THIS EVENING IS THE PRELIMINARY PLAT INCLUDES A VARIANCE TO THE CITY'S RIGHT OF WAY DEDICATION REQUIREMENTS WITHIN 500 FEET OF COVE AND KELLY INTERSECTION.

THE PRELIMINARY PLAT THERE A DEDICATION OF 90 FEET ON BOTH ARTERIALS.

THE CURRENT STANDARD IS A HUNDRED FEET AWAY FROM THE INTERSECTION OR GREATER THAN 500 FEET.

THE PRELIMINARY PLAT SHOWS A DEDICATION OF 80 FEET.

THE CURRENT STANDARD IS 90 ALONG COVELL BETWEEN THE PROPOSED CORAL BELL ROAD AND GOLDEN ROD STREET.

SO THAT'S SORT OF THAT MIDDLE UM, COMPONENT THERE.

ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF COVEL, THE PRELIMINARY PLAT SHOWS A DEDICATION OF 75 FEET AND THE CURRENT STANDARD IS 90 FEET.

AT THE REGULARLY SCHEDULED PUBLIC HEARING ON JUNE 4TH, 2024, PLANNING COMMISSION APPROVED THE APPLICATION SUBJECT TO THE RIGHT OF WAY VARIANCE BY A VOTE OF FIVE TO ZERO.

IF YOU TRY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.

YES, I HAVE ONE QUESTION MAYBE FOR EITHER YOU OR THE APPLICANT, IF, IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, UM, ALL OF THE EGRESS IS ALL SELF-CONTAINED WITHIN THOSE, THOSE FIVE LOTS.

IT, THERE'S NO CONNECTIVITY TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, CORRECT.

TO THE EAST AKIN MCKEN.

GOOD EVENING, I'M TODD MCKENNA.

I REPRESENT THE, UH, ER FAMILY IN HONEY FIELD AS CLAY HOLD IRON AND REPRESENTING THEM AS WELL.

UM, I'LL ANSWER THAT QUESTION FIRST BECAUSE I SAID AT PLANNING COMMISSION, I'LL SAY THIS EVERY TIME ABOUT THIS PROJECT.

UH, THE NEIGHBORS TO THE EAST MADE COMMENTS AT OUR ZONING HEARINGS THAT THEY DID NOT WANT CONNECTIVITY INTO THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD FROM THIS DEVELOPMENT.

MM-HMM.

JUST BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T WANT ANY MORE TRAFFIC AND PEOPLE GOING TO THE SCHOOLS OVER THERE.

AND WHAT WE TOLD THEM IS THAT IT'S NOT OUR DESIRE TO DO THAT.

BUT THERE ARE CODE REQUIREMENTS THAT DO THAT AS FAR AS CONNECTIVITY.

THAT'S WHY THE INTERSECTION AT COVAL AND KELLY WAS DESIGNED THE WAY IT WAS IN COFFEE CREEK AND OVER BEHIND LOWE'S AND ALL THAT.

UH, AND SO WE TOLD THEM THAT IF THE CITY DIDN'T MAKE US, WE WOULDN'T DO IT.

THAT'S NOT HERE TONIGHT 'CAUSE THAT'S NOT PART OF OUR PLAT.

BUT WE'LL CONTINUE TO AFFIRM THAT.

UH, BUT I BELIEVE AT LEAST ONE OF THE PLANNING COMMISSIONERS SAID THAT'D BE A PROBLEM FOR HIM 'CAUSE HE'S IN FAVOR OF CONNECTIVITY.

SO WE'RE TRYING NOT TO GET CAUGHT IN THE SWITCH, BUT ALSO HONOR WHAT WE SAID TO THE NEIGHBORS THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS.

HEY, WOULD YOU PLEASE THANK STEVE LAWRENCE FOR ALL THEIR EFFORT ON THIS PROJECT? SO SOMETIMES ENGINEERING DIDN'T GET A LOT OF THANKS.

SO THE ONLY THING I'D LIKE TO MENTION, UH, THIS IS A COMPLEX PROJECT.

IT'S 160 ACRES PLUS OR MINUS.

AND UH, STEVE LAWRENCE AND HIS TEAM, UH, UP AND DOWN THEIR STAFF HAVE BEEN GREAT TO WORK WITH.

WORKING OUT THE IDEA ON THE VARIANCE.

IT SEEMED TO BE A REASONABLE RESOLUTION FOR ALL OF US.

AND SO I WAS GONNA MENTION THAT AND JUST TO AFFIRM THAT CLAY LANG KNEW OVER TO ME AND SAID,

[01:05:01]

UH, WELL, I'M SORRY.

NEVER DOES ENGINEERING GET A LOT OF THANKS, .

AND SO I WANTED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT, UH, HERE TONIGHT, UH, BECAUSE THIS IS A GREAT PROJECT.

THE SAER FAMILY HAS BEEN THERE FOREVER.

THEY PUT UP WITH ALL THE CONSTRUCTION ON THE WEST SIDE AT LOWE'S, AND NOW THE FAMILY IS MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS PROJECT AND IT'S EXCITING.

IT IS, IT'S A LOT OF NEAT STUFF GOING ON.

SO THANK YOU TO YOU ALL AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER 'EM.

HAM MOHAMAD IS THE APPLICANT AND YES.

OKAY, MAYOR AND COUNSEL, JUST SOME CLARIFICATION ON THE SIDE AND BEFORE IT STARTED, UM, THE REASON WHY IT'S ON THE PUBLIC HEARING PORTION OF THE AGENDA DENIED IS DUE TO SOME VERBIAGE IN THE RECOMMENDATION.

UM, IT SAYS STAFF DOES NOT SUPPORT THE REQUESTED VARIANCE.

UM, THAT WAS NOT MEANT TO BE, UH, THAT STAFF, UH, RECOMMENDS DENIAL.

UM, REALLY SHOULD JUST BE THAT STAFF IS NEUTRAL ON THE SUBJECT.

UM, AND THAT THE STORMWATER ADVISORY BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDED APPROVAL AT THEIR MAY MEETING.

UM, THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

YES, I COULDN'T HEAR YOU.

BUT WHAT'S THE, SO, UH, STAFF DOES NOT SUPPORT THE RECOMMENDED OR THE REQUESTED VARIANCE AND YOU'RE SAYING THE STAFF DOESN'T HAVE A POSITION ON THAT.

RIGHT? STAFF'S NEUTRAL ON IT.

THE STORMWATER ADVISORY BOARD, UH, APPROVED IT, UH, UNANIMOUSLY AND RECOMMENDED APPROVAL.

UM, STAFF DOESN'T HAVE A POSITION.

SO THIS WAS ANOTHER ONE OF THE CASES WHERE, UH, THE APPLICANT HAD DONE THE WORK, THEN ALMOST THEN KNOCKED ON THE DOOR AND SAID, UH, AND IT'S COME TO THE CITY.

AND SO IT'S AFTER THE FACT, BASICALLY THE, THE WORK'S ALREADY BEEN COMPLETED, THE FIELD'S BEEN DONE.

AND SO THE, WHEN IT CAME TO STORMWATER, IT WAS LIKE, OKAY, WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO? ARE WE, UH, HAVE THEM DIGGY BACK OUT, WHICH MIGHT HAVE A, ANOTHER, A REVERSE ADVERSE AFFECTION EFFECT TO WHAT'S ALREADY GOING ON.

AND SO, UH, YEAH.

SO THE APPLICANT PROVIDED, UH, STORMWATER MODELING, UM, DID EVERYTHING THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO DO.

UM, IT DOESN'T AFFECT THE FEMA REGULATORY FLOODPLAIN AND THAT'S WHY STORMWATER, ONE OF THE REASONS STORMWATER ADVISORY BOARD RECOMMENDED APPROVAL.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? STAFF A APPLICANT WANTED TO SAY ANYTHING OR ANYTHING? ADD ANY, ADD ANYTHING? OKAY.

ANYONE IN THE AUDITS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON THIS ONE SINCE THIS IS IN THE PUBLIC HEARING PORTION OF OUR MEETING? C NINE.

COUNSEL, WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO ON ITEM 11 F? MOTION TO APPROVE.

UH, THERE'S NO CITIZEN COMMENTS.

UH, ANY COMMENTS

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

AND

[01:10:01]

THAT'S EARS IS IS THEIR LITTLE ACRONYM THERE.

BUT THEY ARE SO BIG AND IMPORTANT FROM BEHIND THE SCENES IN HELPING EDMOND AND THE COMMUNITY FROM A, FROM A CITY STATE REGION IN, IN THE COMMUNICATIONS.

SO WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE TOWER BEING BUILT.

UH, EARS IS THEY HELP OUT WITH LIBERTY FEST, THEY HELP OUT WITH OTHER ACTIVITIES THAT GO ON.

THEY ACTUALLY DO OUR SIREN TESTING ON THE, FOR THE TORNADO SIDE.

THAT'S ACTUALLY EARS ACTUALLY RUNNING, HELPING TO RUN AND FACILITATE THAT.

AND, AND THIS GROUP OF VOLUNTEERS, UM, ARE REALLY IMPORTANT.

AND I, I TRIED TO TALK TO SOME PEOPLE FROM TEXAS, BUT THE CIGNA WASN'T STRONG ENOUGH.

THEY DIDN'T COME BACK, BUT IT WAS, IT WAS, IT'S REALLY, UM, SO ANYTIME, UH, THEY'LL HAVE ANOTHER ONE NEXT YEAR, THEY DON'T KNOW WHERE THE LOCATION'S GONNA BE BECAUSE THEY TOLD ME, THEY SAID THEY HAD TO DO IT BY DIGITAL THIS YEAR AND LAST YEAR WAS DIGITAL AND BY VOICE.

BUT THE COMMUNIC, THE NOISE IN THE DIGITAL WORLD WAS SO MUCH THAT THEY COULDN'T, I MEAN, IN THE COMMUNICATION WORLD, THAT IT, YOU COULDN'T UNDERSTAND IF SOMEBODY WAS TALKING OR NOT.

SO THEY HAD TO DO IT BY DIGITAL.

BUT IT WAS INTERESTING.

AND THE, THE CITY MANAGER ALREADY MENTIONED ON JULY 1ST, WE HAVE, UM, TED ANDERSON, FLASH SPLASHBACK COMING UP.

AND THEN WE HAVE ALL OF OUR LIBERTY FEST ACTIVITIES STARTING, UM, COMING UP WITH THE CAR SHOW.

WE HAVE THE 5K, WE'RE GONNA HAVE THE PARADE.

UM, UH, WE'RE GONNA HAVE THE, THE, THE BEST LOOKING THE GRAND MARSHAL EVER THIS YEAR.

OH, .

SO IT'S, IT'S GONNA BE FUN.

WELL, AND UM, SATURDAY WAS, UM, THE FIRST, UH, ROUTE 66 MIDPOINT CORRIDOR RALLY.

UM, AND SO I'M EXCITED TO SEE THAT GROW EVERY YEAR.

UM, THEY WENT STOPPED, FOLKS STOPPED AT 11 CITIES ALONG THE MIDPOINT CORRIDOR FOR ROUTE 66 AND GOT SELFIES AT DIFFERENT PLACES AND, UM, DIFFERENT POINT SYSTEM AND WENT AND STARTED OUT AT CHICKEN SHACK AND FOR BREAKFAST AND ENDED THERE FOR DINNER AND, AND AWARDS.

AND, UM, IT WAS, IT WAS LOVELY.

I WAS ABLE TO SIT AND VISIT WITH A FEW FOLKS WHEN THEY CAME BY STEVENSON PARK, WHICH IS WHERE THEIR PICTURE OPPORTUNITIES WERE THERE, AND THEN THE MURALS AT SHERRY'S DRUG.

AND, UH, I'M EXCITED TO SEE THIS GROW, SO I THINK IT COULD BE SOMETHING REALLY FUN IN THE FUTURE.

ANYTHING ELSE? WELL, UM, WE WON'T SEE EACH OTHER AGAIN UNTIL AFTER THE FOURTH, RIGHT? OH NO, WE HAVE OH, AFTER THE FOURTH? YES, AFTER THE FOURTH.

SO, UH, SAFE HOLIDAYS, EVERYBODY.

MM-HMM.

TAKE HEAT.

UH, TRAVEL SAFE TRAVELS FOR ANYONE.

EVERYONE'S TRAVELING.

AND, UH, I'LL TAKE THE RECOMMENDATION FOR ITEM 15.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? IF YOU'D LIKE TO STAY AROUND? NO MEETINGS HERE BY ADJOURNED.
