AND EVERY TIME I'M AROUND YOU AND YOUR PEOPLE, BOTH UNIFORMED AND NON-UNIFORM, AS WELL AS AS INCREDIBLE GROUP OF VOLUNTEERS, UH, I, I KNOW THIS WHOLE COMMUNITY'S REALLY BLESSED TO HAVE A POLICE DEPARTMENT THAT SERVES US.

GOOD EVENING, CHRISTIE BATTERSON, DIRECTOR OF HOUSING COMMUNITY RESOURCES, UM, THE HIGHWAY SAFETY OFFICE THROUGH THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRA TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION.

UM, PUT OUT THIS GRANT APPLICATION.

HISTORICALLY, AS YOU JUST HEARD, THE POLICE DEPARTMENT GOES AFTER THESE GRANTS, BUT WE WERE ABLE, UH, THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT WAS ABLE TO APPLY FOR THIS GRANT, UM, FOR, UH, EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS ENFORCEMENT, UH, FOR FOCUSING ON PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE SAFETY.

THE MONEY WILL BE USED TO PURCHASE REFLECTIVE SAFETY MATERIALS SUCH AS BIKE HEADLAMPS, TAILLIGHTS, REFLECTIVE VESTS AND OTHER MATERIALS, PLUS HOSTING, UM, APPROXIMATELY SIX EVENTS THROUGH LOCAL SCHOOLS OVER THE NEXT YEAR PROMOTING, UM, SAFE CYCLING AND WALKING.

SO THAT WILL BE HANDLED THROUGH THE POLICE DEPAR, I MEAN THROUGH THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT.

SORRY.

AND IT IS, UH, 100% REIMBURSABLE.

THERE IS NO MATCH BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY COMPONENT TO IT.

QUESTIONS, COMMENTS? ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE LIKE TO ADDRESS THIS

[00:15:01]

I JUST, YES, CHRISTIE, I KNOW YOU'RE HUMBLE ENOUGH TO KNOW.

PASS IT ALONG.

SO PLEASE DO THE NUMBER AS WE SEE THE NUMBER OF GRANTS THAT THE CITY RECEIVES.

I MEAN THERE'S A SKILLSET IN DOING THAT, THAT APPLICATIONS AND THE WRITING OF THOSE GRANTS.

SO, I MEAN, I THINK WE OUGHT TO IN SOME WAY FIGURE OUT A WAY TO HONOR THOSE PEOPLE BECAUSE IT MEANS A LOT TO US.

IT'S A COLLABORATION EVENT FOR SURE.

THANK YOU.

ALRIGHT, WHAT DO YOU WANNA DO? I'M MOVED TO APPROVE.

I GOT DISTRACTED BY YOUR COMMENTS.

BRAD RAINEY, PARKS AND RECREATION DIRECTOR.

WE RECEIVED A $5,000 DONATION THIS YEAR AND STAFF HAS RECOMMENDED USING SOME OF THAT TO PURCHASE THESE COFFEE MAKERS THAT NEED TO REPLACE THE OLD ONES.

ANY QUESTIONS? ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WISH TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE? SEEING NONE, WHAT DO YOU WANNA DO? I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A COMMENT REAL QUICKLY.

I HAVE BEEN A BEEN TO THE SENIOR CENTER RECENTLY, JUST, UM, AS A VISITOR AND THERE WAS A PROGRAM GOING ON AND IT JUST, UH, IT'S A GREAT PLACE FOR FOR PEOPLE TO GO AND, YOU KNOW, BEING LONELY CAN BE VERY HARD ON YOUR HEALTH AND HARD ON YOUR MENTAL HEALTH AND I JUST APPRECIATE YOUR TEAM FOR WHAT THEY FACILITATE AND THAT THERE IS A NEED FOR A COFFEE MAKER AND A, A PLACE FOR PEOPLE TO GATHER.

[E. Consideration of Approval of a Budget Amendment for a Supplemental Appropriation from the Special Tax Parks (Hafer) Reserves to the Charles D. Lamb Nature Preserve Project Budget; $31,400.00. (Ward 1)]

MR. RAINEY.

OKAY, UM, THIS, THIS ITEM IS IN REGARDS TO THE CHARLES D. LAMB NATURE PRESERVE FOR THE APPROXIMATELY 25 ACRE EXPANSION TO FER PARK.

UM, THE FUNDS ARE THAT WERE COLLECTED ON THE TAX INITIATIVE SIT IN A RESERVE ACCOUNT, UM, AND WE NEED TO MOVE THOSE FUNDS TO COMPLETE SOME ACTIONS TO PROGRESS THE PROJECT.

JUST WANTED TO GIVE A COUPLE UPDATES ON THE PROJECT.

UM, CURRENTLY THE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS ARE AT 65%.

UM, TO MO TO ADVANCE THOSE FURTHER IT'S FOCUSED ON THE BRIDGE THAT'S GONNA CROSS THE SPRING CREEK.

WE NEED TO GET, UM, GEOTECHNICAL WORK DONE THERE AND THEY NEED TO GET A TRUCK THROUGH THE HEAVILY TREE AREA TO, TO DO THIS.

AND SO PART OF THIS IS TO CLEAR A PATH FOR, FOR THIS TRUCK THAT'S PART OF THIS TRANSFER.

UM, AND THEN THE OTHER ITEM THAT'S EXCITING IS WE'RE RECEIVING A GRANT FROM THE LAND AND WATER CONSERVATION FUND FOR APPROXIMATELY $800,000.

THAT'S GONNA MATCH OUR FUNDS THAT WE'VE SET ASIDE.

UM, IT IS A FEDERAL GRANT AND WE HAVE TO DO A CULTURAL RESOURCE SURVEY ON THE SITE.

SO

[00:20:01]

AND THIS WILL ALLOW US TO PROGRESS TOWARDS A HUNDRED PERCENT CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS AND ACTUALLY START BUILDING THIS THING ONCE WE HAVE A GRANT AGREEMENT FOR IT.

SO THE 31 4 IS SO WE CAN BASICALLY SAY WHAT THE FEDS ARE TELLING US WE GOTTA DO BEFORE WE CAN USE THEIR MONEY, RIGHT? PART OF IT, YES.

PART OF IT'S FOR THAT PART OF IT'S TO CLEAR A PATH TO DO THE GEOTECHNICAL WORK FOR THE BRIDGE.

OKAY.

GOT IT.

IT WAS ENCUMBERED LAST YEAR BUT THE PURCHASE ORDER WAS CLOSED PREMATURELY AND WHEN WE ROLLED THE ENCUMBRANCES FROM AT NINE 30 OF 25, SO SEPTEMBER 30TH, THIS DIDN'T GET ROLLED.

THUS IT DIDN'T CREATE BUDGET AUTHORITY.

SO NOW WE'RE ASKING FOR THE BUDGET AUTHORITY FOR THE THIRD PAYMENT.

IT WAS A PROJECT THAT WAS STARTED IN A PREVIOUS YEAR.

ANY QUESTIONS? ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WANNA ADDRESS THIS ISSUE? SEEING NONE, WHAT DO YOU WANNA DO? I'D LIKE TO JUST MAKE A COMMENT TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO GO LOOK AT THIS 'CAUSE IT'S REALLY A NEAT PIECE.

GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

UH, KEITH BEATY, SENIOR DEVELOPMENT ENGINEER.

UH, THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING TO SPLIT THREE FIVE ACRE TRACKS INTO TWO AND A HALF ACRE TRACKS.

SO WHAT THEY'RE ASKING FOR IS THE FEE IN LIEU OF DETENTION, UH, WHEN IT WAS SUBDIVIDED AT FIVE ACRES.

WE DON'T REQUIRE ON FIVE ACRES LIKE THAT TO DO DETENTION, BUT WITH TWO AND A HALF ACRES WE DO.

SO THEY'RE REQUESTING THE FEE IN LIEU OF THE COUNCIL APPROVED IT ON OCTOBER 20.

I MEAN, SORRY, THE SWAB APPROVED STORM WATER DRAINAGE ADVISORY BOARD APPROVED IT.

ARE YOU ALL READY FOR THIS? CONSIDER SUB ITEM ONE CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL FOR THE RECOMMENDED INCREASE TO THE TOTAL COMBINED CONTRIBUTION RATE FOR THE CITY OF EDMOND EMPLOYEE PENSION PLAN FROM 17.94% TO 18.43% EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1ST, 2026 IS RECOMMENDED BY THE PENSION BOARD AND DEAN ACTUARIES LLC INCLUDING A NEW EMPLOYEE RATE OF 12.29% UP FROM 11.94% AN EMPLOYEE RATE OF 6.14%

[00:25:02]

DO WE WANNA TAKE THESE TOGETHER? THAT'S UP TO YOU SIR.

YEAH, LET'S DO, LET ME BLOW THROUGH THIS NEXT PIECE THEN.

THAT'S FINE.

SUB ITEM TWO, PUBLIC HEARING CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL OF ORDINANCE NUMBER 4 0 6 3 AMENDING CHAPTER 2.54 EMPLOYEE'S RETIREMENT PLAN OF THE EDMOND MUNICIPAL CODE BY AMENDING SECTION 2.54010.

DEFINITIONS AMENDING SECTION 2.5 4.020 EFFECTIVE DATE CLASSES OF BENEFITS PROVIDED ENTRY INTO PLAN AMENDING SECTION 2.5 4.030 CONTINUOUS EMPLOYMENT ACCREDITED SERVICE, TEMPORARY BREAKS IN SERVICE, TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT, MILITARY SERVICE AMENDING SECTION 2 5 4 0 4 0 RETIREMENT AMENDING SECTION 2 4 5 0 AMOUNT OF RETIREMENT INCOME AMENDING SECTION 2.5460 NORMAL OPTIONAL FORMS OF RETIREMENT INCOME AMENDING SECTION 2.54070 EMPLOYEE CONTRIBUTIONS, EMPLOYEE REFUND EQUITIES 2 5 4 0 8 0 PAYMENT OF BENEFITS AMENDING SECTION 2 0 9 0 ADMINISTRATION AMENDING SECTION 2 0 0 RETIREMENT FUND AMENDING SECTION 2 5 4 0 ROLLOVER TO ANOTHER PLAN OR IRA AMENDING SECTION 2.54111.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS PROVIDING FOR REPLACEMENT AND, AND FOR PROVIDING FOR REPEAL AND SEVERABILITY AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY AND I MADE IT THROUGH THAT WITHOUT STUMBLING TOO BAD.

SO ROSS, WOULD YOU PLEASE PROCEED ? WELL DONE MAYOR.

GOOD EVENING MAYOR NASH, CITY COUNCIL STAFF AND WELCOME MR. KRIEGER.

I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU.

THANK.

THE FIRST ITEM AS THE MAYOR READ IS A RECOMMENDATION FROM OUR ACTUARIAL THAT IS DONE ON AN ANNUAL BASIS REGARDING A TOTAL FUNDING RATE FOR OUR PLAN.

AND AS THE MEMO STATES, THE CURRENT TOTAL RATE IS 17.94%.

THAT'S WHAT WAS RECOMMENDED LAST YEAR AND IT IS OUR CURRENT RATE AND THE RECOMMENDED NEW RATE IS 18.43% OF THIS TOTAL RATE.

THE PENSION BOARD IS RECOMMENDING THAT THE 0.49% INCREASE BE SPLIT BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE EMPLOYEES AND THAT'D BE MADE EFFECTIVE JANUARY ONE OF 26.

SO BASICALLY HALF OF OUR FISCAL YEAR.

CURRENTLY THE UH, EMPLOYEE RATE IS 11.94% AND IT WOULD GO UP TO 12.29%.

THE EMPLOYEE RATE, THE CITY'S UH, EMPLOYEE RATE IS CURRENTLY 6% AND IT WOULD GO UP TO 6.14%.

THE FISCAL IMPACT OBVIOUSLY, UM, WHEN YOU'RE RAISING RATES, UH, ON BOTH THE CITY'S BUDGET AND THE EMPLOYEES, UM, THERE WILL DEFINITELY BE A, A FISCAL IMPACT AND THE HALF A YEAR FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR STARTING JANUARY ONE WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY $78,000, ALMOST $80,000, WHICH MEANS NEXT FISCAL YEAR FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR THERE WOULD BE AT LEAST ABOUT A HUNDRED AND FIFTY, SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY $8,000 IMPACT TO ALL OF THE CITY'S BUDGETS.

AND, UM, PRIMARILY, UH, THE UTILITIES BECAUSE THEY HAVE MORE OF THE EMPLOYEES IN THE PLAN.

GENERALLY SPEAKING, THAT'S WHERE MOST OF THE BURDEN IS.

THE GENERAL FUND IS APPROXIMATELY ONLY $10,000 OF THAT 7,000 OR 78,000.

SO, UH, IT'S SPREAD OUT AMONG EVERY, UH, EMPLOYEE, UH, AND DEPARTMENT.

SO, UM, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS I KNOW IN OUR, UH, WORKSHOP THAT WE SHOWED COMPS AND TRYING TO EXPLAIN HOW THE RATES WORK, UM, AND HOW DID WE GET TO WHERE WE ARE.

AND SO IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'D BE GLAD TO ANSWER THAT.

I DON'T REALLY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, ROSS.

I THINK, UH, PROBABLY THE WAY MY MIND ODDLY WORKS SOMETIMES, BUT I NOTICE IN READING THROUGH, UH, IN SECTION OR 12 A THERE'S A CLAUSE OR SECTION DEALING WITH DISABILITY AND UH, JUST A SUGGESTION TO HAVE, UH, THE EMPLOYEE PENSION RETIREMENT BOARD REVIEW ON AN ANNUAL BASIS THAT, THAT THOSE, WHAT WHAT'S COMMONLY CALLED REFERRED TO AS BAD BOY CLAUSES OR I CALL 'EM EXCLUSIONS TO THE DISABILITY THAT THOSE BE JUST RUN THROUGH, CONFERRED WITH CITY ATTORNEY, HER OFFICE, MAKE SURE THOSE STILL STAND.

THOSE

[00:30:01]

THANKFULLY AS GOVERNMENT WE DON'T HAVE TO APPLY OR COM COMPLY WITH ERISA, BUT I THINK IT'S HELPFUL TO REVIEW SOME OF THOSE, EVEN IF THEY'RE PLANS THAT ARE UNDER ERISA TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE STILL ENFORCEABLE.

THANKFULLY THEY ARE RIGHT NOW.

SO OTHER THAN THAT, JUST SOMETHING TO PUT IN YOUR LITTLE NOTEBOOK WITH THE BOARD TO, UH, TO REVIEW ANNUALLY.

THAT'S A GREAT IDEA.

I I THINK WE CAN, UH, ADD THAT TO OUR AGENDA, UH, ESPECIALLY AT THE BEGINNING OF OUR FISCAL YEAR WHEN WE ORGANIZE.

PROBABLY BE A GOOD TIME FOR THAT.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COUPLE OF QUESTIONS? SURE.

THIS DOESN'T COVER POLICE AND FIRE, CORRECT? CORRECT.

ANY UNIFORMED POLICE AND FIRE ARE A PART OF THE STATE'S PENSION PLANS THAT ARE OFFERED.

UH, THIS IS ONLY FOR FULL-TIME, UH, EMPLOYEES, UM, THAT ARE NOT PART OF POLICE AND FIRE.

THERE ARE SOME OBVIOUSLY ADMINISTRATIVE POLICE AND FIRE MEMBERS THAT ARE, BUT UH, CURRENTLY THERE'S 5, 550.

SOME EMPLOYEES THAT ARE A PART OF THIS PLAN DOES NOT INCLUDE SEASONAL OR PART-TIME.

YOU MUST BE A REGULAR FULL-TIME, UH, POSITION.

AND ONE OTHER QUESTION.

MM-HMM .

HOW CLOSE ARE WE TO BEING FULLY FUNDED AT THIS POINT AND WHAT DOES THIS DO FOR US? THAT IS ALWAYS A GREAT QUESTION AND I NEVER HAVE A VERY GOOD ANSWER.

WELL, I KNOW WE ASKED YOU THE SAME QUESTION DURING THE WORKSHOP.

SO, UH, I DID THE CALCULATION BASED ON OUR UNAUDITED FIGURES RIGHT NOW AND IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE PROBABLY GOING TO END UP IN THE 85% RANGE, WHICH IS BETTER THAN WHAT WE WERE CORRECT.

UH, BUT IT'S NOT AS GOOD AS WE SHOULD BE.

UM, BUT AS I SAID EARLIER AT THE UH, UH, PREVIOUS WORKSHOP, AS LONG AS OUR ACTUARIAL IS MAKING GOOD ACTUARIAL ASSUMPTIONS LONG TERM AND WE FUND ACCORDING TO HIS RECOMMENDED ACTUARIAL AMOUNT, I FEEL THAT WE ARE AS WE'RE FULLY FUNDED FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE.

BUT THAT'S BEFORE ALL OF THE THINGS HAPPENED DURING THE YEAR.

UM, IT'S MUCH EASIER TO LOOK AT THE END OF THE YEAR AND SAY, WELL THIS IS HOW MUCH MONEY WE ACTUALLY PUT IN, BUT GUESS WHAT? MORE PEOPLE RETIRED THAN WE THOUGHT.

AND SO THE ASSUMPTIONS WEREN'T ACT QUITE AS ACCURATE.

THAT'S WHY FRANKLY WE DO AN ACTUARIAL EVERY YEAR, EVEN THOUGH THE CURRENT ORDINANCE ONLY REQUIRES US TO DO IT EVERY TWO YEARS.

BUT I I 85% IS A, A GOOD RATE.

UM, I'M NOT CONCERNED IF WE WERE DROPPING INTO THE 50% RANGE, THAT WOULD BE A VERY BIG CONCERN, ESPECIALLY IF WE WERE STILL FULLY FUNDING THE ACTUARIAL RECOMMENDED RATE.

OKAY, THANK YOU.

DOES SOME OF THAT VOLATILITY HAVE TO DO PREDICTING HOW MANY LUMP SUM RETIREMENTS YOU'RE GONNA HAVE? THE ACTUARIAL DOES NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT WHICH OF THE 12 CHOICES YOU'RE GOING TO CHOOSE.

AND SO THE, THE BIGGEST IMPACT ON A SHORT TERM BASIS WHEN SOMEONE RETIRES IS IF THEY TAKE TAKE A FULL LUMP SUM.

THAT'S A SHORT TERM IMPACT TO OUR CASH FLOW OBVIOUSLY, BUT IN THE LONG RUN I FEEL IT'S PROBABLY OKAY BECAUSE THAT LIABILITY'S NOT EXTENDED, IT'S DONE.

SO I'M NOT SURE THAT THERE'S THAT MUCH OF AN IMPACT WHEN WE HAVE AND WE HAVE HAD SIGNIFICANT LUMP SUM DISTRIBUTIONS IN THE LAST TWO YEARS.

THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE LIKE TO COMMENT ON THIS ONE? I, UH, TAYLOR WILSON AGAIN, UM, IN THE ACTUARIAL REPORT, IT'S 23 YEARS TO CATCH UP ON BARRING OTHER PLANNED SIGNIFICANT AMENDMENTS.

PART OF THIS THE IS PREORDAINED BY DECISIONS THAT WERE MADE BY A PREVIOUS COUNSEL TO PROVIDE A COLA PAYMENT OF APPROXIMATELY $2 MILLION TO PREVIOUS PLAN.

THAT IS NOT PART OF THE PLAN AND THIS IS THE MECHANISM TO PAY FOR THOSE FEATURES FOR WHICH EVERYBODY KNEW AT THE TIME THEY APPROVED IT.

MM-HMM .
