I'D LIKE TO START WITH A PRESENTATION OF A PROCLAMATION, RECOGNIZING OCTOBER 31ST, 2025.

WHEREAS OCTOBER 31ST, 2025 MARKS THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE PASSING OF UNITED STATES ARMY INFANTRYMAN DAVID J. MARTIN, THE FIRST SERVICEMAN FROM EDMOND, OKLAHOMA TO GIVE HIS LIFE IN THE GLOBAL WAR ON TERRORISM.

[B. City Manager's Update: Sales, Use, and Lodging Tax City of Edmond and Oklahoma County Partnership Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) Construction Updates]

THANK YOU, MAYOR.

UH, LET'S BEGIN WITH OUR MONTHLY SALES TAX REPORT LIKE WE USUALLY DO.

UH, THESE NUMBERS REFLECT AUGUST SALES THAT WERE REPORTED IN SEPTEMBER, AND THEN, UH, CHECK WAS SENT TO US IN OCTOBER.

SO BREAKING IT DOWN, UH, SALES TAX IS DOWN, UH, 2.02% YEAR TO DATE WITH A NEGATIVE, UH, 5.4% FOR THE MONTH OF OCTOBER.

USE TAX IS ALSO DOWN 2.9699999999999998% YEAR TO DATE.

WE WERE ALMOST EVEN FOR THE, FOR LAST MONTH THOUGH.

UH, YEAR TO DATE COMBINED SALES AND USE TAX COLLECTIONS ARE DOWN, UH, 2.18%

[00:05:01]

UH, EDMOND IS ONE OF FOUR MAJOR CITIES SEEING A DECLINE.

UH, YUKON'S DOWN 2%, UH, NO, MIDWEST CITY'S DOWN A LITTLE BIT AND AS WELL AS NORMAN.

UH, ON A MORE POSITIVE NOTE, UH, LODGING TAX SHOWS A SMALL POSITIVE.

IT'S AN UPTICK OF 0.59%.

UM, LET'S SEE.

WANTED TO TALK ABOUT OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH OKLAHOMA COUNTY.

NEXT, WE HAVE A BIG PROJECT COMING UP WITH THE, UH, REPAVING OF COFFEE CREEK ROAD.

UH, SALES TAX, UH, SUPPORTS THAT, UH, CONSTRUCTION BEGINS AT THE END OF THIS MONTH AND WEATHER PERMITTING SHOULD FINISH BY YEARS IN.

UH, THIS PROJECT INCLUDES STABILIZING THE SUBGRADE AND RESURFACING WITH A KEVLAR INFUSED ASPHALT.

IT'S ADDING TWO FOOT SHOULDERS AND, UH, SIX INCH STRIPING FOR IMPROVED SAFETY.

UH, WILL CAUSE A TEMPORARY ROAD CLOSURE WITH LOCAL ACCESS MAINTAINED.

UH, THIS IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF OUR SUCCESSFUL PARTNERSHIP WITH OKLAHOMA COUNTY.

UH, TOGETHER WE'VE REBUILT 65 LANE MILES OF SECTION LINE ROADS OVER 20 YEARS AT AN ESTIMATED SAVINGS OF $32 MILLION TO OUR TAXPAYERS.

UH, CURRENTLY THE STREET AND ALLEY FUND GENERATES $850,000 PER YEAR.

THAT'S ENOUGH TO RECONSTRUCT ROUGHLY ONE MILE PER YEAR.

UH, WITH ADDITIONAL FUNDING, SAY ABOUT 1.6 MILLION MORE ANNUALLY, WE COULD COMPLETE NINE LANE MILES PER YEAR AND FINISH ALL 40 REMAINING MILES IN JUST FIVE YEARS.

UH, PARTNERSHIPS LIKE THIS TRULY MAKE OUR PROJECTS, UH, MORE POSSIBLE.

AND LAST, UH, AN UPDATE ON I 35, UH, ODOT IS WRAPPING UP PHASE ONE OF ITS $18 MILLION IMPROVEMENT PROJECT BETWEEN MEMORIAL AND SECOND STREET.

UH, THOSE ARE TURNAROUND BRIDGES AT 33RD, 15TH, AND SECOND STREETS ARE EXPECTED TO BE COMPLETE THIS WEEK.

UH, THE NEXT PHASE, WHICH INCLUDES NEW RAMPS AND ONE WAY FRONTAGE ROADS WILL NOT BEGIN UNTIL SEPTEMBER OF 2027.

UH, CONSTRUCTION OF THAT PHASE IS ESTIMATED TO TAKE AROUND 18 MONTHS.

UH, JUST A REMINDER, THE GOAL OF THE PROJECT IS BOTH SAFETY AND EFFICIENCY.

UH, THE REWORKING OF THE RAMPS AND FRONTAGE ROADS, UH, WILL HELP PREVENT DANGEROUS BACKUPS ONTO THE INTERSTATE AND REDUCE CONGESTION ON I 35.

UH, ODO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE OVERALL PROJECT, UH, FROM PLANNING TO OVERSEEING THE CONTRACTORS.

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

IS THERE ANY CHANCE THAT ODOT MIGHT MOVE THAT WORK UP A LITTLE BIT? I, I THINK UNLESS THEY HAVE A FUNDING WINDFALL THAT WE DON'T KNOW ABOUT, THAT WILL PROBABLY NOT HAPPEN.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU, MR. INS.

THANK YOU.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR.

GOOD EVENING.

CAN YOU HEAR ME? IF YOU RAISE IT UP MAYBE JUST A LITTLE BIT.

UH, WELL, IT'S WORKING.

IS IT WORKING? OH, THERE WE GO.

ALL RIGHT.

LOUD AND CLEAR NOW.

ALL RIGHT.

CHRIS ING, DIRECTOR OF WATER RESOURCES.

UM, SO TONIGHT WE HAVE A BUDGET AMENDMENT TO FUND A CONSTRUCTION CHANGE ORDER ON THE MAIN OH THREE PROJECT.

THAT IS, UH, TWO RAW WATER LINES AND ONE, UH, WATER TRANSMISSION LINE FROM THE WATER PLANT TO I 35.

UH, AND THEN OF COURSE, THE INTAKE TO THE

[00:10:01]

SO, UM, THE MAIN PURPOSE OF THIS CHANGE ORDER IS TO FUND CHANGES ON THE, UM, 36 INCH TRANSMISSION LINE.

OUR MAIN LINE GOING FROM THE PLANT I 35.

THERE'S A LOT OF ADJUSTMENTS BECAUSE OF SOME UTILITIES, UH, MAINLY GAS PIPELINES AND, UH, AVOIDING SOME, UH, ADDITIONAL TREE DISTURBANCE AND SOME CERTAIN AREAS.

UM, WE'VE ALL SEEN THE TREE DISTURBANCE AND HAVE HEARD MANY COMMENTS ON IT, BUT, UM, IT IS OUR MOST CRITICAL LINE IN THE CITY.

UM, SO IN ORDER TO REALIZE THE CAPACITY OUTTA THE WATER PLANT IN THE FUTURE, THAT LINE IS NEEDED.

UH, THIS CHANGE ORDERS NEARLY 4 MILLION.

I I WON'T READ EVERY NUMBER.

3,949,000.

UH, WE REDUCED SOME OF THE SCOPE OUT OF IT, OUT OF THE PROJECT TO GET COSTS BACK CLOSER TO THE ORIGINAL.

UH, WE WILL LOOK AT, UH, BETTER WAYS AND MAYBE LESS EXPENSIVE WAYS TO GET, GET THAT, UH, WORK COMPLETED ON A FUTURE PROJECT.

SO ALWAYS LOOKING FOR WAYS TO KEEP COSTS AS CLOSE TO, UM, ZERO AS POSSIBLE WITH THE PROJECT.

BUT ANY QUESTIONS? PUBLIC COMMENT? WOULD ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE LIKE TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE? MR. IAN, I'VE GOT ONE QUESTION FOR YOU.

THAT WAS YEP.

THAT WAS BROUGHT UP TO ME BY A CITIZEN.

OKAY.

AND I DIDN'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO IT.

OKAY.

DID THE, DID THIS ITEM A ONE AND TWO, UM, DID IT GO THROUGH THE PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE? NO, IT DID NOT.

UM, THE SECOND MEETING IN OCTOBER WAS CANCELED.

WE WERE GONNA PUT IT ON THAT, UH, PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE.

WE'VE BEEN WORKING THROUGH THIS CHANGE ORDER FOR SEVERAL MONTHS.

THE PROJECT'S ALREADY GONNA BE DELAYED A YEAR ON BASED ON THIS CHANGE ORDER.

SO FOR THE SAKE OF GETTING IT MOVING, IT'S ALREADY GONNA TAKE, UM, I THINK MAY OR JUNE OF NEXT YEAR BEFORE THIS STARTS PICKING BACK UP.

AND IF WE DON'T GET THE ORDER IN AND GET DRAWINGS APPROVED BEFORE THE HOLIDAYS, IT'S JUST GONNA EXTEND OUT FURTHER AND FURTHER.

SO, UH, FOR THE SAKE OF TIMELINESS, UM, WE WANTED TO GET THIS ON THE AGENDA NOW.

OKAY.

IS THERE ANY ISSUE WITH THAT CITY ATTORNEY OR THOSE MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL WHO ARE ON THE PUBLIC WORKS? ALL RIGHT.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I BELIEVE WE NEED TWO MOTIONS HERE.

ITEM A ONE AND ITEM A TWO.

I, I'D MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM SEVEN A.

[B. Consideration of Approval of a Budget Amendment for a Supplemental Appropriation to Encumber a Purchase Order and Pay Invoices to Davey Resources for Circuit Trimming and Tree Removals; $103,194.00. (Citywide)]

CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL OF THE BUDGET AMENDMENT FOR A SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION TO ENCUMBER A PURCHASE ORDER AND PAY INVOICES TO DAVEY RESOURCES FOR CIRCUIT TRIMMING AND TREE REMOVALS.

$103,194.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR COUNCIL GLEN FISHER, DIRECTOR OF EDMOND ELECTRIC.

UH, EVERY YEAR WE DO TREE TRIMMING.

WE HAVE 32 CIRCUITS AROUND THE SEA OF EDMOND.

WE DO EIGHT PER YEAR.

UH, WE BID THOSE OUT.

ISSUE A PO TO THE WINNING BIDDER IN THIS CASE IS DAVY RESOURCES FOR THIS PARTICULAR CIRCUIT.

UH, AT THE END OF THE YEAR, WE TYPICALLY CLOSE OUT POS WHEN ALL THE WORK IS DONE AND COMPLETED.

WE CLOSE THE PO FOR DAVY PREMATURELY THINKING THAT ALL INVOICES HAD BEEN SUBMITTED, BUT THEY WERE NOT, THEY SUBMITTED TWO MORE FOR ONE CIRCUIT TRIM AND SOME TIME OF MATERIAL WORK FOR THE $103,000.

UH, SO WE WORKED WITH LEGAL AND PURCHASING TO OPEN A NEW PO THAT WE'RE REQUESTING TONIGHT TO PAY FOR THESE SERVICES THAT DAVEY COMPLETED FOR US.

QUESTIONS? DID WE UNDERRUN THE CONTRACT LAST YEAR BECAUSE OF THAT INVOICE NOT COMING IN? UH, NO.

TYPICALLY IT'S PRETTY FIRM.

UH, THE ONLY VARIABLE IS TYPICALLY TIME AND MATERIAL.

MM-HMM .

UM, WE USUALLY BUDGET ABOUT 150,000 A YEAR FOR LIKE, IF A CREW IS OUT DOING WORK THAT THEY NEED TRIMMING, SPECIFIC TRIMMING DONE NOT UNDER THE CIRCUIT CONTRACT OR IF STORM TREE FALLS DOWN AND THEY NEED REMOVAL SERVICES.

HMM.

SO, BUT, UH, IT, IT, UH, WE DID COME UNDER UNDER THAT, BUT, UH, SINCE WE CLOSED THAT PO AND WE WERE IN A NEW FISCAL YEAR, WE NEEDED TO OPEN A NEW PO UNDER THIS FISCAL YEAR AND WE'RE PULLING MONEY FROM OUR

[00:15:01]

OKAY.

SO DID, DID THEY SUBMIT THE INVOICES PROPERLY? WE JUST GOT AHEAD OF OURSELF.

WE GOT AHEAD OF OURSELVES.

THAT WAS ON ME.

OKAY.

WOULD ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS ISSUE? SEEING NONE.

[A. Consideration of City Council General Consent Agenda Items Pulled for Separate Discussion and/or Action.]

OKAY, GOOD.

WE HAVE ITEM I FROM THE PREVIOUS SECTION.

CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION NUMBER 41 DASH 25 SUPPORTING THE CITY'S APPLICATION SEEKING FUNDING FOR CITY LINK ROUTE SEVEN EXPANSION FROM THE ASSOCIATION OF CENTRAL OKLAHOMA GOVERNMENT'S AIR QUALITY GRANT PROGRAM.

I JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION, MS. BATTERSON, I'M SURE YOU CAN ANSWER THIS.

UM, I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE GET THIS GRANT AND THEN IN YEARS TO COME AFTER THE GRANT MONEY IS GONE, WE'RE GONNA HAVE THE FUNDS AVAILABLE TO US.

WE'RE ALREADY THINKING THAT WAY ABOUT HOW WE'RE GONNA PAY FOR THIS.

YES SIR.

THE GRANT, THE, UH, ROUTE AMENDMENT OR THE ROUTE CHANGE WOULD ACTUALLY ALREADY CHANGE, UH, EXISTING ROUTES.

SO ONE OF OUR ROUTES WOULD BE CHANGING AS WELL TO OFFSET THE COST OF THIS LONG TERM.

UM, THIS WOULD JUST PROVIDE US A SAVINGS FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS.

OKAY, GREAT.

THAT, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I, I THINK TOO, WE, WE IDENTIFIED IN MOBILITY COMMISSION THE ADVANTAGE OF THIS PARTICULAR ROUTE'S GONNA BE PROBABLY AS MUCH OR MORE SO THAN THE OTHER SIX COMBINED IN TERMS OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

AND HOPEFULLY AT SOME POINT IN TIME WE'LL BE ABLE TO QUANTIFY THAT.

CORRECT.

AND, AND THAT, I MEAN, NOT A DIRECT, BUT IT WILL DEFINITELY BE AN OFFSET OR SUBSTANTIATING REASON TO HAVE THE ROUTE AT, AT THE VERY LEAST.

THAT'S CORRECT.

'CAUSE WE'LL GO INTO THE NORTHEAST QUADRANT AROUND SOONER IN COVAL SERVING THE CONFERENCE CENTER CREST AS WELL AS FRANCIS TUTTLE.

SO THAT'S AN AREA WE DON'T CURRENTLY SERVE.

THAT'S IT'S A MAJOR BECOMING A MAJOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AREA.

OKAY.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS, QUESTIONS? WHAT DO YOU WANNA DO, MR. MAYOR? I WOULD MOVE APPROVAL OF NINE.

SO WE ARE NOW ONTO ITEM D AND I'M ASSUMING WE'RE GONNA HAVE MR. RAINEY UP HERE TO GIVE US AN EXPLANATION OF WHERE WE'RE AT.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNSEL.

BRAD RAINEY, PARKS AND RECREATION DIRECTOR.

UM, THIS IS TWO ITEMS OF BUDGET AMENDMENT AND GMP NUMBER SEVEN FOR THE AC KAPLAN GROUP PROJECT.

AND BASICALLY THIS IS, UM, KIND OF THE FINAL RECONCILIATION FOR TRASH REMOVED AND SOIL BROUGHT IN ON THE SITE.

UH, SPECIFICALLY THIS IS FOR 250 CUBIC YARDS OF TRASH REMOVED AND THEN A LARGE AMOUNT, 7,661 CUBIC YARDS OF SOIL IMPORTED.

[00:20:01]

UM, AND THAT WAS THE MOST ECONOMICAL WAY TO DO THAT.

UM, THIS WAS BID OUT AS A UNIT COST ITEM IN THE VERY FIRST EARTH EARTHWORK BID AT THE BEGINNING.

AND, UM, WE BROUGHT THIS BEFORE THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT ADVISORY BOARD AT THEIR LAST MEETING AND THEY ALL APPROVED.

HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS I'D ASK YOU IF YOU PROMISE IF THIS IS THE LAST TRASH REMOVAL, BUT IT, IT SHOULD BE A WE'RE WE'RE OUT OF THE TRASH NOW, .

UM, WE'RE DIGGING IN CLEAN.

OKAY.

FIELD, FIELD NOW.

AND YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING'S GOING UP AND WE'RE NOT DIGGING DOWN.

OKAY.

SO , MR. RAINEY, I APPRECIATE I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY WITH YOU AND THE JOB SOUP TO RIDE AROUND ON THE GOLF CART ON THAT, ON THOSE FIELDS.

MUCH IMPROVED.

LONG OVERDUE.

GLAD WE WERE ABLE TO GET TO 'EM.

THE TRASH IS AN INTERESTING, FIRST OF ALL, IT WAS INTERESTING TO ME TO SIT ON THE HIGHEST POINT OF THAT LAND AND LOOK BACK TOWARD UCO TO BE ABLE TO SEE IT.

NOW, SOME OF THOSE BUILDINGS WEREN'T THERE AT THE TIME PROBABLY, BUT HOW WE EVER THOUGHT THAT WAS A GOOD SITE FOR A TRASH DUMP, UH, IS SURPRISING TO ME.

BUT YOU COULD STILL SEE IT.

AND THE ONLY THING THE JOB SUPERINTENDENT SAID, THE ONLY PLACE YOU COULD STILL FIND IT, PROBABLY IF YOU WENT DOWN DEEP ENOUGH WHERE THE LIGHT POLES ARE.

BUT THAT'LL, THAT'LL NEVER BE IN, IN PLAY OR AFFECTED.

SO BIG IMPROVEMENT.

UH, LET'S SEE IT THROUGH TO COMPLETION NOW.

YEAH, WE'RE, WE'RE GETTING THERE WI WINTER TIME FOR MOST OF THE, UH, MAJOR ITEMS OF CONSTRUCTION LIKE CONCRETE AND ALL THE THINGS BEING BUILT UP.

AND THEN SPRINGTIME SOD AND TREES AND THINGS LIKE THAT WILL BE PLANTED.

AND AS SOON AS THE SOD GETS ROOTED IN, WE CAN OPEN FOR PLAY.

YEAH, WELL, I DIDN'T SEE IT FROM A GOLF CART, BUT I DID SEE IT ON A WALK.

.

UM, BUT THINGS WERE LOOKING REALLY GOOD AND I APPRECIATE YOUR DILIGENCE AND REALLY LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING, UM, UH, PLAYERS ON THE FIELD.

AND I'M JUST, UH, THANKFUL FOR THAT IMPROVEMENT IN WARD ONE.

AND I LIVE NEARBY AND I'M GLAD IT'S A BASEBALL FIELD AND NOT A DUMP AS IT WAS IN THE PAST.

SO JUST REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HARD WORK AND YOUR TEAM.

SO THANK YOU.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT.

DO HAVE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WHO'D LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM? SO ITEM D ONE IS CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL OF THE BUDGET AMENDMENT FOR SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION FROM THE 2017 CIP RESERVES, THE 2017 CIP BUDGET FOR THE A C CAPING OR BALLFIELD RENOVATION PROJECT, $165,201 AND 35 CENTS.

CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL OF BUDGET AMENDMENT FOR SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION FROM THE 2017 CIP RESERVES TO THE 2017 CIP BUDGET FOR THE PELICAN BAY RENOVATION PROJECT IN THE AMOUNT OF $722,100.

OKAY, SO THIS PROJECT IS WELL UNDERWAY.

IT WAS SCHEDULED TO BEGIN THE DAY AFTER LABOR DAY, AND IT DID, AND IT'S CHANGED RAPIDLY OUT THERE.

SO THE CONTRACTOR'S BEEN DOING GREAT, GETTING AFTER THINGS, AND WE WANNA KEEP IT THAT WAY SO FAR.

IT'S ON TIME.

UM, THE WORK AND, UH, THIS, THIS ITEM, WHEN, WHEN WE, UH, RECEIVED THE BIDS FOR THIS WAS ABOUT THE TIME THAT WE WERE KIND OF, UH, FINALIZING SUBMITTALS FOR THE BUDGET PROCESS.

AND WE, WE JUST PUT IN THE BASE CONTRACT AMOUNT AND, UM, WE'RE TRYING TO, UH, ENCUMBER FUNDS IF ANY CHANGE ORDERS ARE NEEDED TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT MONEY'S THERE.

IF, IF WE NEED IT.

UM, THIS ITEM WAS BROUGHT TO THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT ADVISORY BOARD AND THEY APPROVED, UM, ALL CHANGE ORDERS WOULD OF COURSE COME TO THE CITY COUNCIL IF NEEDED.

WE DO ANTICIPATE THERE'LL BE AT LEAST A CHANGE ORDER.

UM, IT'S HARD TO PREDICT DOWN THE LINE, BUT AS WE'VE UNCOVERED, UM, THINGS IN THE PROJECT, UM, WE'VE JUST FOUND THINGS THAT WE DIDN'T EXPECT.

NOTHING TERRIBLE OR THAT SURPRISED ME, BUT JUST THE CONDITION OF THE PLUMBING.

SOME THINGS THAT, UM, WEREN'T, UH, AS THEY WERE ON THE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS FROM THE ORIGINAL BUILD

[00:25:01]

AND, UM, THOSE THINGS WILL HAVE TO BE DEALT WITH.

SO WE JUST WANNA MAKE SURE WE HAVE THE MONEY THERE TO DO THAT.

THIS IS 10% THAT'S, THAT'S ALLOWED UNDER STATE STATUTE AND UM, I DON'T ANTICIPATE THAT WE'LL SPEND THIS MUCH.

WE JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT IT'S THERE IF, IF WE NEED TO.

HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

ANY QUESTIONS? JUST A QUICK COMMENT.

UH, YOU AND I WALKED THIS PROJECT AND I ALWAYS WONDERED HOW, HOW CAN THIS PROJECT BE THAT MUCH AFTER WALKING IT? UH, FROM THE CONTRACTOR STANDPOINT, THAT'S MASSIVE.

IT WOULD'VE BEEN EASIER JUST BUILDING NEW A NEW POOL.

FROM A CONSTRUCTION STANDPOINT, WHAT THEY'RE DOING IS VIRTUALLY EVERYTHING REDO WITHOUT COMPLETELY TEARING UP THE CONCRETE OUT OF IT.

SO IT IS A MASSIVE PROJECT AND I KNOW LOTS OF PEOPLE WITH THEIR KIDS ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO IT BEING COMPLETED AS WELL.

YEAH.

AND JUST FOR THE PUBLIC AND YOUR INFORMATION, WHEN WE WERE PREPARING THIS PROJECT, WE DID LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, WHAT WOULD IT COST TO JUST REPLACE THE ENTIRE POOL? AND IT WAS SIGNIFICANTLY MORE, I THINK THE ESTIMATE WAS IN THE $12 MILLION RANGE, SO SIGNIFICANTLY LESS THAN WHAT WE'RE SPENDING, BUT WE ARE ESSENTIALLY GETTING YEAH, MOST THINGS NEW THERE AS FAR AS FAR AS POOL GOES.

I IT'S GOOD.

I I JUST, IF I WAS THE CONTRACTOR, I'D RATHER DO IT NEW THAN WHAT THEY'RE HAVING TO DO.

OH YEAH, I, I BET.

YEAH.

I, I CAN TELL YOU AS A POOL OWNER, THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A SURPRISE THAT JUST KEEPS HAPPENING.

.

SO I'VE, I'VE BEEN AROUND 'EM LONG ENOUGH TO NOT BE SURPRISED.

, MY ONLY CONCERN ON THIS ONE WAS, UM, I THINK IT'S SMART TO ENCUMBER THE FUNDS.

SO YOU HAVE FLEX NOT FLEXIBILITY, REALLY.

YOU STILL HAVE TO BRING STUFF HERE, BUT, UM, YOU CAN MOVE A LITTLE FASTER.

SO I THINK THAT'S SMART.

SOMETIMES WHEN WE DO THAT, AT LEAST IN MY JOB, UM, IT MAKES IT EASIER TO SPEND MONEY.

BUT I KNOW YOU'RE MANAGING THIS VERY DILIGENTLY.

SO SHOULD I SAY THAT FOR ANYBODY WATCHING OR LISTENING THAT HAVE A LOT OF TRUST IN YOUR, YOU'RE YOU AND YOUR TEAM'S MANAGEMENT OF ALL THIS TO WHERE I THINK WE CAN DO THIS SAFELY? YEAH, I THINK SO.

IN RETURN, WHATEVER WE DON'T SPEND BACK TO THE CFP RESERVES, I HOPE THAT'S THE RESULT.

YES.

YEAH.

WOULD ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE LIKE TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE? SEEING NONE, WHAT DO Y'ALL WANNA DO? A MOTION TO APPROVE.

MR. CONYERS? YES.

THANK YOU MAYOR ANDY CONYERS, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER OF ADMINISTRATION.

UM, IF APPROVED THESE TWO ITEMS WOULD ONE, MOVE MONEY FROM RESERVES IN THE GENERAL FUND TO FUND THE REMAINING EIGHT MONTHS OF THIS FISCAL YEAR.

AND TWO, APPROVE ENCUMBER, UH, THE ENCUMBERING OF THOSE DOLLARS.

SO THE CITY OF EDMOND CAN CONTINUE THE LEASE FOR THE REST OF THIS FISCAL YEAR.

CURRENTLY THE LEASE SPACE IS OCCUPIED BY OKLAHOMA COUNTY COURT CLERK IN SERVICE OKLAHOMA.

AND COMBINED BETWEEN THEM, THEY, THEY, UH, PROVIDE SERVICE TO ABOUT 5,200 PEOPLE A MONTH.

BOTH PROVIDE IMPORTANT RESOURCES TO THE RESIDENTS OF EDMOND.

AS I MENTIONED, 5,200 AND HAVING THEM WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS PROVIDES CONVENIENCE BY SAVING TRIPS TO OKLAHOMA CITY AND NEIGHBORING COMMUNITIES.

CITY STAFF IS WORKING OUT DETAILS WITH SERVICE OKLAHOMA ON A NEW SUBLEASE THAT WILL PROVIDE RENTAL INCOME BACK TO THE CITY OF EDMOND.

ADDITIONALLY, NOW THAT ALL CITY STAFF THAT WERE OCCUPYING THE BUILDING TO MOVED INTO THE NEW CITY HALL, CONVERSATIONS ARE BEGINNING ABOUT SUBLEASING.

THE AVAILABLE 6,000 PLUS SQUARE FEET ONCE LEASED.

THAT RENTAL INCOME WILL ALSO HELP REDUCE THE CITY'S COST.

HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

QUESTIONS.

WOULD ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE LIKE TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE? THIS IS AN ITEM THAT THIS COUNCIL ADDRESSED A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, UM, IN DEALING WITH THAT ENTIRE LEASE SPACE AND THE CONTRACT THAT WAS ALREADY THERE.

SO, UM, I THINK MOST OF US ON THE COUNCIL HAVE BEEN THROUGH THIS ONE, TWO OR THREE TIMES ALREADY.

AND WHO IS ADDRESSING THIS ONE? CHIEF MAYOR COUNSEL, JD YOUNGER CHIEF OF YOUR POLICE DEPARTMENT.

UH, JUST TO CLARIFY BEFORE I OFFER COMMENTS, I'M NOT AN ATTORNEY, UH, BUT CITY LEGAL, UH, AUTHORIZED ME TO COME UP HERE AND GIVE IT A SHOT.

SO, UH, I WANNA TRY TO EXPLAIN THIS, UH, AS THOSE AT HOME AND THOSE IN THE AUDIENCE, UH, MAY UNDERSTAND OR MAY NOT UNDERSTAND, ARE MUNICIPAL ORDINANCES THAT ADDRESS TRAFFIC OFFENSES ARE MIRRORED OR DIRECTED TOWARDS STATE STATUTES.

AND SO RECENTLY THE LEGISLATURE CHANGED A STATUTE THAT ADDRESSES WHAT WE COMMONLY REFER TO AS TEXTING WHILE DRIVING.

UH, PRIOR TO THE CHANGE, THE STATUTORY CHANGE, UH, IT LITERALLY ADDRESSED TEXTING AND IT HAD SOME REQUIREMENTS IN THERE HOW YOU WOULD HAVE TO PROVE, UH, THAT THE DEVICE IN THEIR HAND WAS BEING USED TO TEXT, UH, WHICH PROVED OVERLY CUMBERSOME IF YOU WERE TRYING TO PROSECUTE SUCH AN OFFENSE.

AND SO THE STATE LEGISLATURE SAW FIT TO ADJUST THAT TO MAKE IT MORE PRACTICAL.

AND SO THE PROPOSAL IN FRONT OF YOU IS JUST AN AMENDMENT OF OUR ORDINANCE TO BE IN LINE WITH WHAT WILL BECOME STATE STATUTE ON NOVEMBER THE FIRST.

UH, AND AGAIN, IT JUST ALLOWS, UH, A GREATER DEGREE OF, UH, OF ENFORCEMENT, UH, POSSIBILITIES FOR OFFICERS ADDRESSING PEOPLE THAT ARE USING THEIR MOBILE DEVICES, HAVE THEM IN THEIR HANDS, UH, WHILE THEY'RE DRIVING, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

I ANY QUESTIONS? AND WOULD THE AUDIENCE LIKE TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE? SEEING NONE, JUST ONE COMMENT I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT IN THE PACKET, IF ANYBODY'S WATCHING OR INTERESTED HERE IN THE ROOM, THERE IS A RED LINE OF WHAT CHANGED SPECIFICALLY.

AND I KNOW CITIES HELPED TO TRY TO, YOU KNOW, COMMUNICATE THAT TO THE PUBLIC SO IT'S CLEAR WHAT YOU CAN AND CAN'T DO NOW WITH THE STATE LAW FLOWING DOWN.

BUT THAT'S ALSO IN THE PACKET IF ANYBODY WANTS TO KNOW THE PARTICULARS OF IT.

SO THANK YOU SHERIFF FOR POINTING THAT OUT.

AND, AND ACCORDING TO LIBERTY, UH, I DO WANNA RECOGNIZE, UH, LEGAL STAFF AND THEN OUR TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT STAFF AT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT THAT BOTH WORK TOGETHER, UH, TO MAKE SURE THIS IS UPDATED AND APPLICABLE FOR OUR COMMUNITY.

THE SUBJECT PROPERTY FOR THE ZONING MAP AMENDMENT REQUEST IS APPROXIMATELY 3.3 ACRES.

THE MAP SHOWS THE SPECIFIC LOCATION AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF MEMORIAL ROAD AND RHODE ISLAND AVENUE.

NEARBY.

ZONING AND USES INCLUDE A COMMERCIAL PUD TO THE EAST, CURRENTLY DEVELOPED AS FROST AUTO ACCESSORIES TO THE NORTH IS ZONED A SINGLE FAMILY AND IS DEVELOPED WITH RESIDENTIAL AND ACCESSORY BUILDINGS.

TO THE WEST IS D ONE COMMERCIAL AND IS BEING DEVELOPED WITH A MEDICAL OFFICE TO THE SOUTH ACROSS MEMORIAL ROAD IS THE CITY OF OKLAHOMA CITY AND IS DEVELOPED WITH RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS.

EDMOND'S.

CURRENT ZONING CODE ACCOMMODATES MIXED USE PROJECTS SUCH AS THIS BY USING THE PLAN UNIT DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT.

THIS PROPOSED PUD DESIGN STATEMENT INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING DETAILS ALLOWED USES INCLUDE TWO FAMILY DWELLING, OFFICE, RESTAURANT AND RETAIL.

A MAXIMUM OF 10 RESIDENTIAL UNITS WOULD BE ALLOWED.

A MAXIMUM OF 20,000 SQUARE FEET OF NON-RESIDENTIAL USES WOULD BE ALLOWED.

A MAXIMUM BUILDING HEIGHT OF 35 FEET WOULD BE ESTABLISHED.

ACCESS WILL MOST LIKELY BE FROM MEMORIAL ROAD AND RHODE ISLAND AVENUE.

BASED ON THE PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE THE PLANNING COMMISSION, THE DESIGN STATEMENT HAS BEEN UPDATED TO CLARIFY THAT SIDEWALKS WILL BE IN CONFORMANCE WITH EDMOND'S STANDARDS AT THE TIME OF DEVELOPMENT.

THE EDMOND PLAN 2018 CATEGORIZES THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AS SUBURBAN ONE NEIGHBORHOOD.

THIS PLAN CATEGORY IS PRIMARILY RESIDENTIAL AND REFLECTS THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN THAT WAS COMMON IN THE 1960S, SEVENTIES AND EIGHTIES.

THESE AREAS TEND TO HAVE EASY ACCESS TO THE FULL COMPLEMENT OF PUBLIC SERVICES AND UTILITIES DUE TO THEIR DEVELOPMENT LIFECYCLE AND DESIRABILITY.

THESE AREAS OFTEN ATTRACT INFILL OR REDEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES TO HELP ENSURE THAT THESE OPPORTUNITIES CONTRIBUTE TO THE AREA.

THE PLAN CALLS FOR DESIGNS TO BE SENSITIVE TO NEARBY DEVELOPMENT BY MAKING EFFICIENT USE OF ONE OR ONE OR THREE STORY BUILDINGS TO LINE RETAIL, MINIMIZE SURFACE PARKING LOTS, AND PROVIDE AMPLE LANDSCAPING AND SCREENING.

IN THE PROPOSED PUD.

THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED BY A COMBINATION OF SMALL SCALE COMMERCIAL STRUCTURES ALONG MEMORIAL AND RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURES, INCLUDING THE SITE PROOF FENCE SERVING AS BOTH A TRANSITION AND A BUFFER TO THE NORTH PORTION OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AT THEIR REGULARLY SCHEDULED MEETING ON OCTOBER 7TH, 2025, PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED APPROVAL BY A VOTE OF THREE TO ZERO.
