[00:00] Okay, we are now going to move into Miami City Council, maybe for today's date and time.
[00:15] Item 2 is public input, Nonschedule Posts, Lumpuriches, and then on the audience it wishes
[00:19] to address the Council on any of the agenda items.
[00:22] There are being none.
[00:24] Item 3 is a construction agenda staff.
[00:27] I have listed items for through the 13, but since the publishing of the agenda is asked
[00:32] that item 8 be pulled out so there are requesting items 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 3, 13 be placed
[00:41] on the consent agenda.
[00:42] Motion of the programmer.
[00:43] And a second.
[00:44] Second.
[00:45] Roll call, please.
[00:46] Johnson.
[00:48] Lewis, time, four, sir.
[00:50] All right.
[00:51] Questions?
[00:52] All right.
[00:53] There'll be no action on item 8 tonight, so we'll deal with that in later session.
[00:58] We'll move on to item 15.
[01:01] Temporary round closure on F-North West, 12 hour roll, so school will make a one-way
[01:05] street doing pick-up times after school.
[01:09] Chief, I had a year down by, Chief Anderson.
[01:11] How are you tonight?
[01:13] Good.
[01:14] This is a request made by the principal in Wilson School to close the F-Strake ticket to the school,
[01:25] during the school pick-up times.
[01:27] It'll just be after school, come out 3, 4, 5, 4 o'clock, and the school will put up
[01:33] better gates to close one lane of offsets, one way to have just going south, and just make
[01:39] it safe for the children.
[01:40] We've done the same thing at Roosevelt School.
[01:45] I believe Washington and maybe Rockdale.
[01:48] I believe that.
[01:51] It's just a very similar thing in school as on better case and does that, and that was possible
[01:56] for a set-and-out of this one to do us to have safety for kids.
[02:01] I don't remember what they're doing currently at Rockdale or any of the other locations.
[02:06] At one time, they had signs of the actual, they would...
[02:10] Yeah, I mean, it doesn't mean they just wouldn't be at the school's building for themselves and use
[02:15] their own stuff.
[02:16] Basically, they'll be blocking off the north-bound lane, so I'll try to go in south, kids are on
[02:23] a bus or south of a car or to get in, and it just makes it safer for traffic and a little
[02:27] bit smoother for traffic, folks.
[02:29] Yeah, and now we're talking, when this first came up, there are a couple of houses on the facing
[02:35] side of the street.
[02:36] Yeah, I do, and I think two of them are occupied.
[02:40] That's correct.
[02:41] Does anybody at least face to with those residents and let them know that this is going to happen?
[02:45] I know we did not.
[02:46] I did not.
[02:47] I would like for, I would represent the school or the city to at least give them a heads up.
[02:53] Okay, so they won't be trying to come in from the other direction, because that's the
[02:57] driveway.
[02:58] Actually, they don't need to try to access it.
[03:00] So if we can just make sure those residents are notified, I don't have any concerns.
[03:03] I mean, I think it's a great idea, but it's a courtesy of them, we need to give them a heads up.
[03:08] We will take care of it's mopping.
[03:10] Any other questions, thoughts?
[03:13] Okay.
[03:14] Thanks, Chief.
[03:15] Chief.
[03:16] Item 16 contract with Oklahoma Department of Tourism for the Miami Travel Information Center.
[03:24] We did a vote on that.
[03:26] No, we did put on to have a record that you approved it.
[03:30] So if you wouldn't mind voting, that would be good.
[03:33] So you want to make a motion meal authorizing the road closure during the times the Chief
[03:39] specified?
[03:40] Yes, or temporary road closure.
[03:41] We're all saying it.
[03:42] No call, please.
[03:43] No.
[03:44] Good.
[03:45] Lewis.
[03:46] I Weston.
[03:47] Aye.
[03:48] Four Sir.
[03:49] Aye.
[03:50] Thank you.
[03:51] On the I have 16 contract with the Department of Tourism been.
[03:54] You have in the packet the proposed contract.
[03:59] We've run it by bariturism.
[04:01] They made a few minor changes and so those are incorporated in what you have.
[04:09] Basically what this does, if it's approved, it allows the city to take over in the operation
[04:16] of the Tourist Information Center on the 28th of this month, it would be closed for a period
[04:24] of time to be able to do the transition.
[04:29] I mean, we'll have to go through the inventory.
[04:32] We'll have to set up the computer system, several items that need to be done.
[04:40] But then it would open back up with the employees being employees of the city of Bahama, as opposed
[04:47] to the Department of Tourism, and with that, would be happy to answer any questions.
[04:55] Are there any questions?
[04:56] I think we were trying to close another 28th and have it reopened by February 4th.
[05:02] It's just a short period of time, and not only is we were talking about the computer point of
[05:07] sales term and all that, a little bit of inventory that would be taken care of because I think
[05:12] there's some merchandise in there.
[05:13] We definitely want to keep it.
[05:14] We'll probably send back with the state.
[05:17] Then finally, we want to take a look at the way things are basically arranged there because
[05:25] with the, and I want to really, Amanda is not here today, because she is at the Cleveland
[05:32] Ohio right now for the bus tour convention, but we're going to try to replace a lot of the
[05:38] graphics.
[05:39] A lot of the work that we have with our partners, so that when you walk in the center, we were
[05:44] talking about price tower earlier.
[05:45] Barrelsville would have a graphic about price tower and the things to visit with Barrelsville.
[05:51] I like association, and I was just talking to former representative Littlefield at a meeting
[05:55] this morning, and he's thrilled about it because there'll be information about grand light.
[06:00] And of course, there'll definitely be information about my Emma.
[06:02] So to give a chance to kind of do a little bit of reorganizing
[06:05] and remodeling at the same time, and then reopen.
[06:08] One thing I did ask Amanda if we could possibly do it
[06:11] as possibly during that time, at least lead the restrooms open.
[06:14] That way, when travelers stop, they might not be able to get
[06:17] into the gift shop and buy a bottle of water,
[06:20] but they could still use the restroom.
[06:21] And then I think that's kind of a good customer service.
[06:24] So they know when they come back
[06:25] it's something that's worth staying at.
[06:28] And as far as the maintenance of the facility,
[06:32] the maintenance of the facility
[06:34] reverts to us, it becomes an our facility to maintain.
[06:37] To clean up now.
[06:38] Any large items that have to be taken care
[06:41] of re-roofing, heating, and air system,
[06:43] and all that, that's still the responsibility of the state.
[06:46] We also have ensured that the parking lot
[06:49] will still be maintained by the turnpike authority.
[06:54] OK, now the question is, it's exciting.
[06:57] I think it's going to be good for the state,
[06:59] and it's going to be good for Miami, on our local,
[07:02] other local communities, and partners.
[07:04] Did the partners that have agreed to come on,
[07:06] are they excited about it?
[07:08] As I said a moment ago, I talked with a former representative
[07:11] little fellow representing the Grand Lake Association.
[07:13] He's threatening like clear more in May's County.
[07:16] Yes, and again, even entities like bottles,
[07:18] where we had no idea that bottles would be interested
[07:21] that when Amanda was telling the bottles will CBB people about it.
[07:25] They want it in, because they could see people exiting well
[07:28] before they get to Tulsa to go over to bottles, though, and visit.
[07:31] So there's a lot of excitement about this.
[07:34] I will say that we do have, I believe,
[07:37] it's a 60 day out clause.
[07:39] If we get into this and find out, it really isn't working.
[07:41] We have that ability to do that.
[07:43] But, and there are a few unknowns about this still.
[07:46] We think that the effect on our budget
[07:48] will be utilities plus potentially about another 70-500.
[07:52] And we think we can minimize that,
[07:54] because the way we can replenish the stock,
[07:57] the t-shirts and basic souvenir
[08:02] that we would have bottles of water, we can replenish.
[08:05] Why didn't want to use that term, Chockeys?
[08:07] And a public meeting, because I don't want the list
[08:09] to have to try to figure out how to spell it.
[08:11] But we have the ability to replenish
[08:15] stock much faster than the state allows.
[08:18] And from what we have, the information people
[08:21] will work out there, there are a lot of times that they're out of things.
[08:23] So that people walk in and they want it, and we don't have it.
[08:26] And then I also finally just want to believe very much
[08:29] that when we start cooperating with the inner tribal council
[08:32] on this, that I think they're going to become huge partners
[08:35] with us on this as well.
[08:37] So it's very positive along that way.
[08:39] A few unknowns that we're going into,
[08:42] but if we're going to transfer it over to our ownership right now,
[08:45] this is the best time, so we're ready to go
[08:47] and spring travel season hits.
[08:48] So doing that 60 day out, is that just this 460 days,
[08:52] no, that's the entire time, if we need to determine
[08:57] that it's just not working before we get the state of 60 day notice.
[09:00] We hope that never happens. We're going into this for the long term.
[09:03] Will we be able to monitor our margins?
[09:05] Oh, yeah, it's very much so.
[09:07] In fact, we've been looking at the margins right now to make sure that this is something
[09:12] that at the most is going to cost us maybe a net 7500 plus our utilities.
[09:17] But being able to track the sales being able to make sure that we have a profit margin very much.
[09:23] I mean, this is going to be an enterprise fund.
[09:28] So is this an item that we need to vote on approval of the contract?
[09:32] Yes.
[09:34] So do we have a motion to approve?
[09:35] Make a motion.
[09:36] And a second?
[09:37] Second.
[09:38] Will call please?
[09:39] Forster.
[09:40] Aye.
[09:40] Western.
[09:41] Aye.
[09:41] Johnson.
[09:42] Aye.
[09:43] We will.
[09:43] Aye.
[09:43] Schultz.
[09:44] Aye.
[09:45] Next item is mirroring on the understanding.
[09:48] That is the agreement with the partners.
[09:51] Uh, basically it provides that each of them will pay to my amma.
[09:58] Uh, the sum of $5,000 per year.
[10:01] Now, the original term, we have it set up so that it runs from whatever point it is that we take
[10:08] over the operation of the facility through to the end of the fiscal year.
[10:13] And then that $5,000 is pro-rated on the same basis of whatever portion of the year that is
[10:20] to a 365-day year.
[10:23] From that point on, any renewals would be on a annual basis of the fiscal year.
[10:31] That $5,000 is always subject to being renegotiated at any point in time.
[10:38] But it, but we're, and as it's saying, it will be the same for all of our partners across the board.
[10:44] In return for that investment that they're making into the operation of the
[10:50] Tursan Information Center, each of them would get a more beneficial treatment for their
[11:00] particular tourist attractions in what we do in the facility.
[11:05] The facility will promote all of Oklahoma.
[11:09] But the internet will be on northeast Oklahoma, and then a special emphasis on each of those that are
[11:16] the partners with us in this program.
[11:19] For this meeting, we had originally hoped that Cope Allen was going to be able to be here,
[11:23] because we're going to be working with him on the graphics, as you know, when I talked about the
[11:27] vast hours of all that, he's already working up various concepts that you would have for all of our partners.
[11:33] And again, it'll have information for the entire state of Oklahoma that it will really highlight
[11:39] northeast Oklahoma.
[11:42] I just like, say, man, I've just been a pro-grist working pro-grist for a long time now.
[11:47] I'll find Dan and Dan, and Dan, and Dan, if they'd done a great job on this.
[11:50] Actually, I want to credit Amanda. She has taken one, said Ron, and it's really true. I wish you could have
[11:57] been here, but we need to get this going.
[12:00] Yeah, you know, so she understands completely why we moved on tonight.
[12:04] Do the partners have an opt-out time option also?
[12:07] Or is it just coming the year from the time they pay their money for a year?
[12:11] Well, they can, they can opt-out at any point in time, but whatever they have paid them, it is not refundable.
[12:19] So July 1 of next year, the next, our next fiscal year, because I'm not sure if they're all in the same fiscal year as we are probably on it.
[12:27] July 1, the bills do, and they can pull out if they want to lay her, but they pay for the whole year, so it's really helped right.
[12:33] And then doing that.
[12:34] Those correct, but also the bill, the proportionate share of the $5,000 will be new within 30 days,
[12:40] and are taking over the fact that the facility for the way.
[12:44] The parade park for this fiscal year.
[12:46] But then when every fiscal year rolls around, they will have the ability to either opt-in or opt-out.
[12:51] But then once they opt-in, they're in for that fiscal year.
[12:55] And the agreement is clearly, the MOU is not an exclusive deal.
[13:01] It did, in fact, states that we're anticipating bringing other partners into the same arrangement with them.
[13:10] It's just that we can't diminish what they are getting from this, and do so.
[13:17] One of the things, too, that we kind of highlighted with our partners, is we hope that when there are special events that take place.
[13:25] And they need a powwow, a fishing tournament on Grand Lake, the MOU's our tournament in battlefield.
[13:33] That we might have some special, possibly, tents or information or something that will highlight those special events.
[13:41] So when somebody pulls off, not only is there the tourism center, but then they can start getting an idea of what's going on before they even arrive.
[13:48] I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know.
[13:52] Any other questions or comments before we go?
[13:57] Okay, we have a motion to approve the MOU.
[14:01] Go approve in a second.
[14:03] Is that it?
[14:04] Will it call please?
[14:05] Question.
[14:06] Aye.
[14:07] Orster.
[14:08] Aye.
[14:09] Lewis, aye.
[14:10] Johnson.
[14:11] Aye.
[14:12] I'm 18.
[14:13] I'm 18.
[14:14] Yes.
[14:15] We skipped over.
[14:16] I'm 14.
[14:17] Was it not on that?
[14:18] It was intended to be, yeah, I believe.
[14:20] You can send it.
[14:21] You can send it.
[14:22] Okay.
[14:23] Then we need to go back to item 14.
[14:25] Thank you, Ben.
[14:26] Item 14 reads, manager recommendation for a point of merit to the health.
[14:29] Miami Housing Authority to complete the unexpired tournament body melt and her tournament
[14:34] approved would expire on January 2nd of 2019.
[14:39] So that's my recommendation.
[14:41] I would ask for consideration of approval.
[14:43] More to approve, mayor.
[14:44] And a second?
[14:45] Second.
[14:47] Go call please.
[14:48] Johnson.
[14:49] Lewis, aye.
[14:50] Question.
[14:51] Aye.
[14:52] Worst.
[14:53] Aye.
[14:54] Thank you.
[14:55] Now we move the item 18.
[14:56] Also in associate's court order number eight for hydraulic analysis.
[14:58] Not to exceed 17,000.
[14:59] And time.
[15:00] graphic survey not to exceed 27-4 for North Maine from 1st to 4th for coal-mindering
[15:05] is Halloween.
[15:07] I've been fighting this one for a while, and I should go to the solution to it.
[15:13] And this is the first step to getting that taken care of what we're going to be doing is
[15:18] doing the survey and then the high blood on jiggle, high blood on jiggle, high blood on jiggle,
[15:25] high blood on jiggle, and to make sure how many of them actually put in there in order
[15:32] to take the water that we want to take into the system before it goes in and floods the
[15:37] coal-mindering.
[15:38] It might be two very large ones that might come out that there will be four that will
[15:42] make it more accommodating for all that, but this will let us know what it is we need
[15:47] to do.
[15:48] And it's the first step and the next thing we'll be doing is getting ready to do the intersection.
[15:55] So that's what we want.
[15:56] So this has been from two or four years ago, but when we talked about this so far back, what we were
[16:02] told at the time was it wasn't really the capacity, I mean the capacity right around the
[16:06] coal-mind was a problem, but even if you had, you know, pipes is big, it's down, I'm going to
[16:11] call it downstream capacity that's a potential problem.
[16:14] So you could also be a problem.
[16:16] And depending on how much data we're able to get, I'll look into that as well.
[16:20] Can't make sure that we can get out of the system.
[16:23] We also need to look uphill also and make sure that we're getting that water out of the street before
[16:29] against the coal-mindering.
[16:31] Okay, you mentioned downhill and uphill and I was looking on here trying to find, I'm seeing
[16:36] this survey and this is going to cover from first to fourth.
[16:41] And that's if, if I understand first is right at Coleman, correct?
[16:45] And fourth is at the railroad.
[16:47] Okay.
[16:48] So you're not really worried anything south.
[16:51] But what, technically, first street at the call is, we're at low point.
[16:55] Everything drains to there.
[16:56] And it turns and then goes to the street.
[16:58] It goes west to, hey.
[17:00] Okay.
[17:02] At that point.
[17:03] So you don't feel like you need to go any farther.
[17:06] To get any farther.
[17:07] Yeah, not south.
[17:08] No, you guys just did your project down there.
[17:11] I made a terrible debate on that.
[17:13] We would hate that too.
[17:15] No.
[17:16] No.
[17:17] We should be on work right there in the intersection at Burst Street.
[17:20] And just go uphill to the north from there and take care of it.
[17:24] Water from the south is already turning on Burst.
[17:27] Or yes, on Burst before it gets to the coal-mind.
[17:30] On the south side of the road.
[17:33] And that's where, for hits and turns.
[17:36] That's where we're getting the low area and it comes shooting into the coal-mind.
[17:41] That's where we're going to concentrate right there.
[17:44] And that's also where we're going to redo the stop signs.
[17:47] Where they've got the little island and everything.
[17:50] So we've got to make sure that we can get the water there and get it to where it needs to go.
[17:54] So it doesn't go over the island and then into the coal-mind.
[17:57] But similar to Central and Main.
[18:00] so we will not have to stop signing the title of the street anyway.
[18:03] And then I'll still have an improvement in the payment.
[18:06] Yes. And at the intersection right now, it is our main thing.
[18:10] That falls in with our comp plan. We're going to be doing the building part of it is going
[18:14] to be into the next fiscal year.
[18:17] I have these, this is something that Sean had done before, when he did his presentation.
[18:26] And this tells you that the streets that need to be built, the streets that need to be
[18:31] overlayed, the streets that we're going to be able to do source of Michael's surface and
[18:37] cracks here on them. There are the zeroes, the ones that want to come out, the zeroes, one, two,
[18:44] three, fours and five. The threes are what we're going to be concentrating on this fiscal year
[18:51] because the force in the fives are the ones that need to be designed in plans for the
[18:58] end. And we want to get a project out this summer.
[19:03] Well, and also not only that, but we're also going to try to line up some funding for, for example,
[19:08] try to get federal funding or some assistance for the trucker out. Because we do think that would
[19:14] be well qualified for some of the assistance programs for the state and the federal government.
[19:18] Yes.
[19:19] So, if you will look, the in the center of work says link feet by condition, the threes that
[19:26] we have. And if you'll look up here on your on your screen, you see where these, where you're,
[19:33] where you're purple, I see purple, it might be a purpley pink, but where you see your
[19:38] purple, these are the threes. So what we're going to concentrate on, if you could please hit
[19:44] the conditions, use. So if you, if these conditions, use are the ones that there's just a
[19:51] little bit of maybe some crack ceiling that needs to be done, but they're really, really good
[19:56] condition. So we're going to try to concentrate on where these threes are because if we can
[20:00] get all of these threes here to be soy sealed and micro surface, we basically have this section
[20:07] of town completed for at least five years. That's minimum, at least five years. So we don't
[20:14] have to go back and do that. And we're going to concentrate in here where you see, so that
[20:20] we'll have these areas completed and we won't have to go back and do anything. So next year,
[20:25] if you'll take off the threes and the threes and the threes and the threes and the threes
[20:28] and the threes and the threes and the threes up, please. So next year, these are going to be where
[20:34] we start on our reconstructs, are, I forget it every time. When we're going to be surface
[20:42] in, yeah, we're going to mill an overlay and then we're going to have to do some serious
[20:46] rebuilding. And that's what we'll start working on. Our main arteries like truck route, central,
[20:53] those because those are going to also need to have utility work done in them. And we don't want to build.
[21:00] the truck route and then go back and dig it up because it's time to do some utility work.
[21:03] That's central one of the prime.
[21:05] And since you don't know that, yes.
[21:08] What area of town, and I'm trying to orient myself there, you said you're going to start with what area is that?
[21:13] This right here?
[21:14] This is where Scott Lane, Barge, on the lower side of 22nd.
[21:19] And here's the diagonal lines of wherever.
[21:22] Okay.
[21:23] Yes, this is the right word.
[21:24] Here is 22nd Avenue.
[21:26] And if you'll notice, we've got 22nd that has got
[21:29] two all the way here.
[21:31] And if we will just slowly sail to here and here,
[21:33] we've completely got 22nd taken care of for years.
[21:37] And it will, yes.
[21:40] Didn't, I thought probably a 22nd out there right before you get there.
[21:45] Well, I'm not before you, right before you get there.
[21:47] I thought that was carry.
[21:49] Right here?
[21:50] Well, we've got our, no, no, no.
[21:52] You've talked about that over there.
[21:54] Right in there, there's the area that's unincorporated.
[21:58] And, but this is not what we'll be taking care of because...
[22:02] Okay, I'm going to show you the part that we're going to be taking care of.
[22:05] Let's end the counties in good shape.
[22:07] Yes.
[22:08] Then when we talk about as we have some connections that aren't.
[22:10] Okay, okay.
[22:11] Okay.
[22:12] And then if you'll notice down here, we'll be able to completely take care of this,
[22:16] which is sky-wing, wood lawn.
[22:26] Why can't he stop it?
[22:29] Wood lawn. And then here we are.
[22:31] We're going to have another residential area that's going to be completely taking care of for a good five or six years,
[22:37] which will give us some time to concentrate on the rebuilding and the...
[22:42] The resurfacing and the mill in the overlays.
[22:45] So, we are looking at having a bit packet ready for micro-surfacing,
[22:52] the black ceiling and the striping ready to come to council by February.
[22:58] And then we'll be able to get in there.
[23:02] We just had a visit today with Vance Brothers.
[23:05] And they said that April's maybe a little early to start really looking for micro-surfacing because it's still a little chilly.
[23:11] So, maybe it would be the micro-surfacing.
[23:13] And we're exploring doing... last time we did it, it was all...
[23:17] It was done in separate packets.
[23:19] It's this time what we're looking to do is to do it all in one bed and kind of make it to where we're not waiting on the crack ceiling,
[23:28] to get done before the micro-surfacing gets to get a chance to get done because if you have one person to show that they're going to make the flow
[23:35] go much better than what it was the last time.
[23:38] That's what we're looking at.
[23:40] Now, Lisa, I'd like you to clarify when you're talking about fiscal year.
[23:43] We're talking about this fiscal year.
[23:47] By June, before the end of the fiscal year, the threes, we're going to start working.
[23:52] Because I'm thinking of somebody's watching over the years.
[23:55] They're thinking, you know, we just started 2017 and they're thinking, this isn't till 28.
[24:00] This is a few months from now.
[24:02] We are at this point.
[24:04] And then we're starting the design on the others as well.
[24:08] So that's what Walt Dole had managed to move these along quite a bit quicker.
[24:12] Yes.
[24:13] So.
[24:14] Do you want anything?
[24:16] Any questions?
[24:17] Is there.
[24:18] I guess.
[24:19] I mean, we're looking at about 40,
[24:21] almost 44,000 dollars just for the survey.
[24:26] And what is your other comment?
[24:28] Well, what?
[24:29] Okay.
[24:30] So the street study that we did.
[24:32] We talked about main central truck route.
[24:34] Those were the streets that also had recommended based on your current budget.
[24:52] All of those need reconstruction money.
[24:54] Plus, all of them need utility repairs.
[24:57] Except main.
[24:58] Main has the smallest amount of utility repairs out of all of them.
[25:02] Plus, you have the issue at the callman that needs a dressed soon rather than lighter.
[25:07] So.
[25:08] It.
[25:09] Because of the way you're doing your rate study right now in the utility side.
[25:13] And we're still trying to work up that utility budget.
[25:16] Main street works a little easier to get plans ready now.
[25:20] So we can go work on it next year.
[25:24] So just because the way things are hitting and still trying to figure out the utility budgets.
[25:29] Main streets are better candidate because it only has one block of waterline.
[25:34] And then however much storm drain we got to put in.
[25:37] There's no sanitary sewer in the street.
[25:40] And water stops that second.
[25:44] So.
[25:45] Well, by no means do I disagree that it need to work.
[25:47] I just was just curious if, you know,
[25:50] The other areas.
[25:51] The other areas.
[25:52] There's a lot of things.
[25:53] Yeah.
[25:54] That's the other streets are worse.
[25:56] But they also have a larger utility component for the replacement on them.
[26:00] And when we talked about this last.
[26:02] It made the most sense to do streets and utilities at the same time.
[26:06] So we're not cutting streets.
[26:08] Any of your streets that are that are the fours of the fives.
[26:11] You are.
[26:12] In engineering.
[26:14] We're not needing to do engineering on them.
[26:17] The ones that are the threes.
[26:18] We're not needing engineering on those because they are crack seal and micro surface.
[26:23] So that that again is where we're trying to get.
[26:26] Get the most that we can in this fiscal year so that we can get it going.
[26:31] And nothing I didn't mention.
[26:33] The ones that are shown the twos on there.
[26:35] They are just.
[26:36] Just crack seal.
[26:38] And we are going to try to do those in house with our crack seal machine.
[26:42] And we're going to do that with our.
[26:45] Our guys that that are here in in the public works department.
[26:48] To also try to save so many in order to to stretch our knowledge a bit farther.
[26:53] So this time next year we'll be probably looking at engineering.
[26:57] These.
[26:58] Studies whatever you want to say.
[27:00] on some larger projects.
[27:03] Yes.
[27:04] As an indecent, but we're hoping you're going to be good.
[27:06] Rule of thumb is usually around 10% of the project costs.
[27:09] So when we start in on hundreds of thousands of dollars of projects,
[27:14] you'll have an idea of what the cost of the engineering will be.
[27:17] This is being paid out of one.
[27:19] This is being paid out of our street fund that we have in this year's budget.
[27:22] We have two and a half million dollars this year.
[27:24] And of course, what we don't spend in this fiscal year,
[27:27] obviously we'll roll over to next year.
[27:29] And we're going to try to put as much in it as we can for the next fiscal year budget
[27:33] and keep this going as we said.
[27:35] And also, one thing to point out to is that on some of the streets,
[27:39] we don't get to ride away.
[27:40] We still are using the dirt patcher quite a bit.
[27:43] You know, fixing the pot holes right the first time and we're continuing that work as well.
[27:48] So that isn't, we're out late letting up on that.
[27:51] If we don't get to a street where we're doing an overlay or anything like that,
[27:55] we're still fixing the pot holes and trying to give everybody a little smoother ride.
[27:58] And I want to straight hits a five,
[28:05] wants to straight hits a four.
[28:07] It's pretty much, it's not going to get any worse.
[28:10] You know, still fixing the pot holes, right?
[28:12] Yeah, you're going to fix the pot holes.
[28:14] Yes.
[28:15] But you're not going to really save the street.
[28:17] But if we can get to these ones that we just need to do the crack ceiling and we just need to do the micro surfacing on it,
[28:23] we can save those streets.
[28:25] And if you don't get to those soon, they're going to deteriorate.
[28:28] And then they're going to become a four.
[28:30] So you've lost the ability then to save it with with the micro surface.
[28:34] So you're looking at spending more and more money on them,
[28:37] which is kind of why we want to try to get to these to get them saved.
[28:40] So we don't have to go back and get them next year.
[28:43] We can wait four or five years and down the road and they'll be still good roads for everyone.
[28:48] Okay, I just want to say again that I'm concerned about that downstream capacity.
[28:57] I don't care how big a pipe we put into the coal.
[28:59] And if you don't look ahead of time and make sure that you've got to push for that water to go,
[29:03] it's just not going to back up.
[29:05] And I don't want to spend a bunch of money that we know the answer to that question.
[29:10] And we're going to have to instruct inside of it.
[29:12] Right. Right.
[29:13] Yeah.
[29:14] That's, I'm going to try and look at that in the study.
[29:17] Like I said, depends on how much data I can get for what's downstream of the coalmen.
[29:22] We don't have a budget right now to go survey every junction box and inlet from Main Street to the river.
[29:31] So I've got a few platforms that have some of that data.
[29:35] So I'll be able to use it in a model and calculate it and make sure that those pipes can carry us.
[29:40] Okay.
[29:41] So that is something we will be looking at.
[29:43] Because yeah, if you fill up pipe up downstream of coalmen,
[29:47] that matter how big that pipe is, like you said, we'll still have the same issue.
[29:51] Okay.
[29:52] So we need to vote to approve work order number eight.
[30:00] We have motion like motion and I'll second that old hopeless
[30:09] Johnson and just enough. This is really hard on this side guys
[30:17] That is the worst part. I'm telling this is already out there. I was up there a cup of time for I come on the chaos
[30:23] I'm telling me it come this to you in does and I
[30:30] Work for days and days suddenly leave your hand. Thank you for your pain. Thank you. Okay out of
[30:37] 19 public hearing concerning the oldest annex the west to the NIC fee
[30:44] of the Northwest Quarter of the Northeast Southwest section six township 27. What all it says right there?
[30:51] They're hooked up there if you can't.
[30:55] As recommended by the plenty commission. So we're talking about in Laman's term. Yeah
[31:00] Why can't we can you put up the man? Yeah. It's a little.
[31:05] We are okay
[31:08] You can see my little and it should be the whole back. It's just a little square there. That is off of
[31:16] 16th May Southwest just north of 20th
[31:21] Right there in Southland, Southland for more than a year.
[31:24] Yeah, I think that's what the tower down there. So. You guys. So bear with it somewhere in your
[31:33] neighborhood? No, it's right over here. This is E Street. Yeah. Okay. And then you look on Daniel
[31:42] it and then the Southern Hills 20th come up and then we got the water tower here. You want
[31:50] to start in addition that we had it about five years ago. And then we got a sensation right here.
[32:03] So I'm home of hope. They specialize in rehabilitation. We have rehabilitation centers for disabled people.
[32:15] We have actually a full-end town already. They're wanting to annex this in the own the property
[32:22] of South already. So there were two 5000 square foot homes for the disabled people that can
[32:32] tenants that can live there. They come to go. They can drive. They can drive. They can drive.
[32:39] They can drive. They can drive. Okay. But in the world, there's going to be eight, approximately
[32:47] eight rooms. How is it? A residence house. You kind of want to search to the left because I
[32:52] wanted to enter. You want to come up to the mic? Yeah. Yeah, come up here. Speak. I'm always
[32:58] happy to read about all.
[33:00] So there's today some people speak about how they do their organization.
[33:03] I don't know if I've worked with adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
[33:07] And so we actually own in and then also operate in 49 different homes throughout, you know,
[33:14] clear more of Anita, prior and here.
[33:17] We have five homes in Miami, four of them are the kind of homes that we're talking about.
[33:23] They will have eight individuals each.
[33:25] They are individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
[33:27] So they don't drive on their own, but we do transport them back and forth.
[33:32] We do residential, vocational and a lot of quality of life activity kind of things with
[33:38] individuals in our programs.
[33:40] Are these going to replace any of the other sorrows?
[33:44] No, these are additional homes.
[33:46] So what they're so dear is this will add 16 residences to Miami for individuals with these kinds
[33:52] of needs and add 18 jobs to Miami as well as a result of that.
[33:57] These are in addition to the homes we already operate.
[34:04] Any questions?
[34:07] Is there only concerns on the psychosocianization of the genia injections?
[34:11] No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
[34:13] And they plan to make a mission they approved to proceed.
[34:18] And we did, as a routine, do notifications of all the surrounding properties?
[34:23] Yes, we did, we did, we did do our standard notifications.
[34:27] I'll have noticed in the paper in the mailings.
[34:30] And then score to the west, that'll be the entrance into that?
[34:35] There's, when they built those houses that auditioned out there, the owner of that property,
[34:40] even wanted to implement that annexed in, because we annexed that in also for an entrance to
[34:45] his property, but yeah, that's going to be their entrance off the K Street into their facility.
[34:51] And they'll be responsible from there for a concrete and drive in the parking lot and everything.
[34:56] What time frame are we talking on, like a completion for some items?
[35:02] Once we get everything back from the state and we get our water lines approved and everything,
[35:07] we'll probably start construction very quickly.
[35:12] If we have to do the state, we only have, like, 18 months to complete.
[35:17] So, our oil is to complete, hopefully within the year.
[35:21] Yes, it's a serotonous event here.
[35:24] Right now, we're waiting on their engineer to engineer the water line and then they'll submit that to us.
[35:30] And with the permit, we'll submit that to the EQ.
[35:35] Because right behind K Street, by the houses, we already have an easement for utilities.
[35:40] We've got utilities back there, electric and sewer.
[35:43] Okay, any other questions?
[35:53] And this is, excuse me, once we, if that is annexing, if you approve it, then it'll be,
[35:59] yeah, what?
[36:00] the result in RSA, with that currently, if you have a four-for-home note, it's actually
[36:07] RSA is actually what the lower the south portion is also, but it does allow this top
[36:14] facility in that zoning, so we're just going to keep that, keep the next portion as an RSA
[36:20] and I say it also to match the top of the RSA, expanding into the other area that you
[36:25] own down the road.
[36:27] There'll be a total of two 5,000 square houses.
[36:30] One on the 10 acres that you see, just south of there, and one that's sent on the 2 acres.
[36:35] But you don't anticipate any expansion of the structure.
[36:38] Not at this time, yeah.
[36:40] Okay.
[36:42] So we're currently in a public hearing with respect to this,
[36:48] and we're going to move to item 20, which is the actual ordinance to annex the property
[36:58] that's been discussed.
[36:59] And it's been recommended by the Planning Commission, and they've approved it, and
[37:04] recommended it to us for approval.
[37:06] So do we have a motion?
[37:08] I mean, we're passing an ordinance, or we're passing an ordinance, or what are we being
[37:13] asked to do?
[37:15] We're asking you to pass an ordinance to annex this property.
[37:18] Okay.
[37:19] And also the next item, we have an emergency clause in that way.
[37:22] We'll have it in the city limits right away, and they can start in the project.
[37:26] Okay.
[37:27] So then what's our ordinance, number?
[37:43] That ordinance was submitted to us.
[37:47] We do have it now.
[37:49] Okay.
[37:50] But I have not seen it.
[37:51] I'll take it.
[37:52] I don't remember.
[37:54] So you said this to all of this.
[37:56] Okay.
[37:57] So do we have a motion to approve the ordinance?
[38:02] Now I can vote for approved the Planning Commission's
[38:04] recommendation.
[38:06] And the order.
[38:07] Okay.
[38:08] And the second?
[38:10] No.
[38:11] No.
[38:12] No.
[38:13] No.
[38:14] No.
[38:15] No.
[38:16] No.
[38:17] No.
[38:18] No.
[38:19] No.
[38:20] No.
[38:22] No.
[38:23] No.
[38:24] No.
[38:25] To Новen our fire crews.
[38:28] Right.
[38:29] Here's the second.
[38:30] I'll second.
[38:31] Low call please.
[38:34] Listen.
[38:35] Low assign.
[38:36] giofter.
[38:38] Jonathan.
[38:44] Perhaps?
[38:46] Hi.
[38:47] Thank you gentlemen.
[38:48] Mc�로s, a number of the members ofعordenberg's community.
[38:51] I'm also going to do this announcement at the end, but I think it's probably appropriate now, both chill and...
[39:00] Lindsay are not here because earlier this afternoon we had more of the Kathy hold the long time
[39:05] employee of our finance department had been admitted to Freeman Hospital and they asked me if
[39:11] they could get up there and be with her because it did not look good and obviously it was not
[39:16] because Kathy passed away at about four o'clock this afternoon and if you see a lot of people with
[39:23] very sad faces that's why she was a terrific woman meal and I both knew her siblings and
[39:31] she's going to be misgradely so anyway I think that both Lindsay and Jill let their right now
[39:37] it's very very important. I'm so glad they're there but they asked if I just go ahead and
[39:41] introduce this item and this is relatively simple when somebody starts a utility bill with us
[39:46] our current ordinance indicates that they have to have at least 30 days before we would send them
[39:52] a bill so somebody's first bill might include 45 days to 60 days of usage before they get their
[40:00] first bill and sometimes if somebody's having a little problems with their bill it becomes a problem they
[40:07] might get late or something like that suddenly it just almost snowballs so the purpose of this is that
[40:14] we would be sending somebody their first bill that would be less than 30 days if somebody signed up
[40:20] and two weeks later their billing cycle came up they would get a bill for two weeks of usage and that
[40:25] way we can we can get them into that cycle very quickly their first billing would not be a big bill and
[40:31] in fact it would be a little bill and they would be able to get into it we think it would be better for our customers
[40:36] but we also think that somebody starts having a little bit of problem we can work with them a lot quicker
[40:42] then if the bill starts to become so large so it's a fairly simple ordinance that we'd like to ask
[40:47] in that way the first customer bill would be less than 30 days and that's right but you can sign up the
[40:53] day after the billing cycle for your area and then you could end up with basically two months of
[40:58] about two months and for a lot of people that's a big hit that's a huge hit sometimes
[41:03] so basically the staff is just asking for the flux of only the bill people when their first billing cycle
[41:09] comes around regardless of how long it's been in their days or weeks three weeks whatever
[41:15] and that would be part of this ordinance it's that we do need a change of the ordinance to allow that
[41:20] okay so any other questions or any concerns so we have a motion to approve
[41:27] a mending section 24 to ask 29 division one of Article two chapter one vote
[41:37] you have a motion to prove my second second no fault please Johnson
[41:42] for Mr. Weston all right Lewis I told I an emergency clause related to the same we believe
[41:49] an emergency clause was vital here because that way we can get it in place very quick okay motion motion
[41:55] to prove second one second roll call Johnson Weston
[42:00] All right.
[42:01] For aster?
[42:02] All right.
[42:03] Lewis?
[42:04] I've chosen.
[42:05] All right.
[42:06] Thank you.
[42:08] All right.
[42:09] I have been talking about this for several months now, and I'm just going to recap a little
[42:17] bit and I've asked Ben if he has any comments and sort of anyone else that has any comments.
[42:21] Please make them.
[42:22] And again, I appreciate the news record being here and helping us educate the public about
[42:28] trying to accomplish.
[42:29] Which is, well, not what I mean, anything that a substantive and nature as far as changes
[42:36] go, we're really just trying to clean up the charter, get rid of our K language, get rid
[42:43] of clauses that refer to state statute, but they refer to a very specific state statute.
[42:49] So we're now, we're married to that statute as opposed to having language that said, as from
[42:55] time to time amended.
[42:56] Right.
[42:57] For whatever reason, didn't have the foresight to include that phraseology in there.
[43:01] So this chart does delete an entity that played a major role in the city's past, and that was
[43:09] utility board.
[43:11] For years and years, we had a utility board, a group of citizens that was nominated by the mayor
[43:17] and approved by the council, just like all the other boards that we have, and they were responsible
[43:21] for oversight of the utility department.
[43:24] And back in those days, we had a specific utility superintendent who was someone hired
[43:29] separate from the city manager, and that was their role.
[43:33] The citizens approved the charter changing 2000, one of the changes they approved was the city manager
[43:41] taking on those responsibilities.
[43:42] Now, the city manager certainly has the ability to hire someone with specific knowledge in that
[43:47] area to take care of those duties, but it really the city manager role now includes what
[43:54] used to be considered as utility superintendent role.
[43:59] And so now the only real function of the utility department, because it's in our court constitution,
[44:07] is that when we have a change in city managers, two of those individuals served on the hiring
[44:14] committee, and they also appoint someone from that committee.
[44:18] So that part of it will go away.
[44:20] The one for the hiring committee will be members of the council, and members that they nominate.
[44:27] But that's really the most substantive change in everything else is pretty much just rewarding,
[44:34] cleaning up, buying the security and organizing, where you're not dealing with the same subject
[44:38] in four different areas, and cleaning up, so city commissioners and a lot of cases, and so I don't
[44:48] anticipate this being a controversial issue, and it's something that I've had personally
[44:53] as a goal for a long time to get done to get cleaned up.
[44:56] I think back in 2000, I would like to have done all this at once, but they were really
[45:00] just focusing on the change in the former government. And so a lot of what I would call the
[45:04] housekeeping details that weren't wrong with it didn't get taken care of. And that's what we're
[45:09] trying to do. And I appreciate this reporter, the council, and taking on this project. It's been
[45:15] a couple of years. A David Anderson really started the revisions for us. And we looked at lots of
[45:20] drafts and then then came in and kind of refined David's approach. And I think we have a really nice
[45:28] clean document. We'll try to communicate more about this and you know, in upcoming meetings,
[45:34] we'll have at least one public hearing where people can come and say, hey, I don't like
[45:38] paragraph 8 of Section 18 or whatever. And left our feelings be known. And then we'll be putting
[45:46] it to a better with the people. And I'm optimistic because again, we're not trying to reinvent
[45:52] the real or anything. We're just trying to clean it up. And not just make it simple, but also make sure
[45:57] that the city and the citizens don't have exposure to legal claims because of some of the
[46:07] old language. And there is some exposure depending on how things happen sometimes. And we need to,
[46:13] it's all duty to make sure that we're doing everything we can to protect the citizens from that.
[46:17] So I hadn't planned to say that much. I was going to leave some for a bullet. But I kind of went on
[46:22] and then I'm going to ask you to comment on what you would. I think that is a very accurate
[46:27] synopsis of what this does. Basically, it does incorporate state law for the most part.
[46:36] There are some view areas where we specifically deviate from the current state law. For example,
[46:45] under state law, if you have a city manager form of government like we do,
[46:51] the council, there are four members of the council that are selected from their awards.
[46:59] And then one member that is selected by the city at large, put that person is not necessarily the mayor.
[47:07] And that doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me in any of it. If the entire city votes on that particular person,
[47:13] that person ought to be the mayor, which is exactly what we have currently in our city charter.
[47:20] And that's what we maintain in this. So that's just one example of where we are deviating from the state
[47:29] law, but we're doing it very deliberately. And then what gives us the right to deviate as a community.
[47:34] And when we're talking about the charter form of government for a man, that's my specific point.
[47:39] The charter form of government allows for, in essence, and you use the terminology,
[47:45] the charter becomes the constitution of the city. Now, through the state law, it allows you to deviate from what
[47:56] otherwise is provided in state law.
[48:00] in your charter to an extent, you cannot deviate from anything that's provided in the State Constitution,
[48:07] for instance. That's just fundamental to any governmental entity in the State of Oklahoma.
[48:14] But you can deviate from state statutes through what you do in your in your sea chart.
[48:21] So the state may have a statute related to firework's regulation, and because we're a charter
[48:27] community, we have the labor right to refine that.
[48:33] Yes. So some extent. I mean, there are certain, and it's a big argument that happens in the legislature
[48:43] about to what extent there is local control on various issues such as the statute that was passed last year
[48:51] does not allow a city to regulate anything relating to the oil industry or fracking within the community.
[48:59] Well, if the community is a charter community, can they do it anyway, and that's an issue that's
[49:07] you know, I have my own opinion, but that's an issue that's not addressed by the courts at this point.
[49:12] But in here and in the charter form of government is the right to, I don't want to say deviate,
[49:18] but to fine tune or revise state statutes to fit our community in many instances, not every
[49:25] instant, but in many instances. Okay. And that's why we can have an at large elected mayor, although the statute
[49:34] doesn't call for that specifically. Okay. Any other examples like that that jump out at you,
[49:41] I mean, I know there's lots of instances, but anything that might seem significant to you or a citizen?
[49:48] No, I mean, I think we've hit the most significant ones. And again, we this proposed charter relies pretty
[49:59] much on what is otherwise provided in state law. Okay. As it may be a mint, with time, there are various
[50:09] reasons why the statute and the ordinance should be changed. And so unless it's specifically addressed
[50:21] to the contrary here, the city will just flood with those changes as they are deemed appropriate.
[50:27] And I think that's some of the areas where we have some potential exposure that we're not necessarily
[50:34] don't think about on a regular basis, but if we're still following our charter in the laws
[50:41] outdated or doesn't match state law anymore, we need to address that. Or it's necessary.
[50:49] Data Javi, I think that the process that been followed was very good. I really like the fact that it
[50:56] is linked to state statutes because it's we were just talking about.
[51:00] about as they change our charter changes and it will help, it will completely, but it will
[51:05] help prevent what we're dealing with right now having a document that is just so outdated
[51:10] that it's archaic and to be able to keep up with that and also to give the citizens the assurance
[51:16] that our charter meet state law. So if we don't follow our charter, we're also not following
[51:22] state law. That puts an eldest on us, but that's one that we should be following every single day.
[51:27] So I think it gives our citizens the assurance that we're doing things right.
[51:35] Any other comments? I've just encouraged in, you know, any source and then called any
[51:41] bus operator and we'll be glad to answer the questions about it. Can we get a copy of that of the
[51:48] proposed charter on the website somewhere? I know we'll just finalize the language,
[51:55] just a week on a couple of minor issues, but yeah, if we can get that posted, like if we can
[51:59] do it in such a way, like we did the comprehensive plan where it's really highly identified on the
[52:04] on the main page. Yeah. Good again. And for anyone that doesn't have access to a computer if you
[52:12] need a copy, we'll get your copy. And if they don't have access, they can go to a library.
[52:17] And again, before we actually vote, we'll have a public hearing and we'll certainly invite
[52:24] comment, a photo comment. We've had several not public hearing formally, but we've had,
[52:31] because we're only a genders, I said five or six times now, and we've always welcomed comment.
[52:35] And this is revision number.
[52:37] And we've all had to come. Because we've all had to come. So, yeah, we've just had to come together.
[52:45] You might want to also make copies of it available at the public places. I know it makes a little
[52:53] bit short timeframe for somebody to try to read it there, but at least they'll, if they're wanting to
[53:00] have one, they can have a hard copy of it at that point. But it takes the charter from 30, I
[53:06] think it was 32 pages to 12 pages. So, what do you say at Ender's Day?
[53:14] Oh, the window adult. We will publish it now, you understand that with the resolution, which is the next item
[53:24] for the one after that. We will have to publish the entire proposed charter in the paper
[53:34] around three different occasions. Okay. That's good. I do want somebody to keep me informed
[53:43] as to when those publication dates are, because I want to make sure that we plan a hearing after
[53:50] at least one, if not two of those publications, give presents and opportunity to get feedback.
[54:00] Any other comments?
[54:02] Okay, I'm excited.
[54:04] I'm 25.
[54:06] Election Resolution CC.
[54:08] This is a new number in here.
[54:10] CC-2-017-022 calling for.
[54:14] Reclaiming the recording of nonpartisan special election in the city of Marama.
[54:18] On Tuesday April for the purpose of submitting to the qualified electors
[54:22] a question of repeating the current charter
[54:24] and adopting a new proposed city charter in lieu there.
[54:28] So, we need a motion to approve the resolution.
[54:34] I'll make the motion.
[54:37] And a second, please?
[54:38] I'll second.
[54:39] Welcome.
[54:40] Western.
[54:41] Louis I.
[54:42] Forster.
[54:43] Johnson.
[54:44] All right.
[54:45] All right.
[54:46] Okay.
[54:47] Our number 26 is also an election resolution.
[54:50] CC-2-017-023 calling for.
[54:54] In the early year, an unpartisan general election city of Marama.
[54:58] On the same day for the purpose of electing the mayor and electing the office of council number four
[55:03] award for the South East to complete the unexpired term thereup.
[55:08] So, Vicki had agreed to serve out a portion of those times when Joe was no longer able to serve.
[55:17] But the way I correct charter reads, she just serves until the end of that year,
[55:21] until there's the next election cycle.
[55:24] And then she or whoever wants to, of course, can run for election for that award.
[55:31] And there's a year left in that term.
[55:34] At the same time, this is the number, at the end of the three year term for the mayor.
[55:39] So, it'll be an election for mayor.
[55:44] Assuming we have more than one person file,
[55:47] the filing date for that is the first week in February.
[55:51] We might have a calendar.
[55:53] I don't have a calendar.
[55:55] It starts the first month or the first full week of February.
[55:59] Which is what a day that is.
[56:01] February 6th.
[56:02] February 6th.
[56:03] So, filing for those two offices will be February 6th, 7th and 8th.
[56:08] And then there's a withdrawal period to 19th.
[56:12] It's already changes our mind.
[56:15] So, there's going to be an election on April 4th.
[56:21] And we have four resolution CC2017-03.
[56:26] We have a motion to approve.
[56:28] A motion to approve there.
[56:29] And a second please.
[56:30] Second.
[56:31] What will we call?
[56:32] Shelton.
[56:33] Four ofster.
[56:34] Five.
[56:35] Weston.
[56:36] Five.
[56:37] Five.
[56:38] I'm 27.
[56:39] There's new business.
[56:40] And new business.
[56:41] Do you need anyone?
[56:42] Not for me.
[56:43] Staff will approve.
[56:44] Do you need a packet?
[56:45] No.
[56:46] Are there available for questions if you have any?
[56:47] I do have one more question.
[56:48] I would like to put a lecture back on the spot here.
[56:51] You don't have to.
[56:52] You don't have to.
[56:53] But we have a lot of right there.
[56:56] But we have to.
[56:57] Did we have to brush the concrete up to do?
[57:00] makes that? The water leak at the animal shelter. The water crew came and they've literally
[57:08] used their warm machine and they boarded everything out, they fixed everything, they pulled
[57:14] it back in and it was all fixed and no concrete to repair. Okay, good deal. That doesn't work
[57:23] that well over and off and does it. Okay, in the other questions, if there are no item 29 is
[57:29] a mayor in Councilor community announcements. So when is the ideal basketball tournament?
[57:36] Yes, they do. This week? Yeah, they do. Any of your basketball starts Thursday and you'll
[57:42] turn on 48 teams, I think. Yes. One is the reall school reunion.
[57:48] Our class rooms, the March 4th, and I'm going to be right back,
[57:54] we're planning on the banquet room. And the March 4th, March 3rd, we're going to be a concert at the
[58:00] Coleman Jaguar. We'll be there about Friday night. And it's a good rich reunion.
[58:05] The good ones will be one with all the class rooms. Okay, so that's a little ways out.
[58:08] Yeah, I haven't talked about it every day so we'll announce that I'm sure Neil will announce that
[58:14] again as we get closer. I don't know what you're doing. Just one quick announcement, you know,
[58:21] then the end of the last week, we were all watching Winter Storm Jupiter coming through.
[58:26] And Jupiter, that's the end of the year. We're going to start tomorrow.
[58:30] Oh, I'll come and I'll pop up. The odd thing is is that we were right on the fringe the entire time.
[58:36] It's amazing the National Weather Service and how they can predict these storms so far in advance.
[58:42] And it came right through and the areas that were hit hardest were the areas that were predicted.
[58:46] And we were on the edge. And I think we would have made a blend of very proud because
[58:51] high tower and Chief Wright and Alicia and Tyler and their crews were all very ready for it.
[58:59] And fortunately, we had very little that happened. However, for example, in Woodward, Oklahoma,
[59:05] they have 9,500 meters out right now. They have 1,000 to 2,000 poles down, which is about 50 to 70
[59:13] miles of wire that's down. And they've asked for help. And we are sending two trucks and four of our
[59:21] employees to Woodward first thing in the morning to help with their recovery effort. And I'm very proud of that.
[59:27] And the way I look at it frankly is that's an insurance policy because they're for the grace of God or the
[59:33] National Weather Service that could easily have been my own. And we would need all that help. So we're sending our
[59:39] crowd. They asked for our help and we're sending it right now. I saw some footage in those
[59:43] power lines. I said they have it. I said those more than in this panel. I mean, it was unbelievable.
[59:49] And we've all been through those before and they're through it right now. I think anybody with the
[59:53] chainsaw has got work to do out there. But we're going to be part of their recovery effort and I'm very proud
[59:58] of that. So we're having fun.
[60:00] I'm going to go that way before I line my two trucks, okay, good to do you think that's me?
[60:09] I'm 31 as a German. We have most of your German I can get most of them out. Yes
