[02:02] It means a lot in their great council members and make important contributions.
[02:05] And when you read this, all of the, when you look at this, it looks like just two paragraphs.
[02:09] But it seems like it takes forever.
[02:11] It does.
[02:12] It's a read the thing.
[02:13] Okay.
[02:14] We're going to move on to item three, which is public input on this casual personal appearances.
[02:17] But the council meeting is there.
[02:19] Anyone on the answer?
[02:20] Which is to address the council on the agenda items?
[02:23] There have been nine item four is considered gender staff.
[02:28] It's recommending item is five through 11 for the consent agenda.
[02:32] If you take a quick look at those.
[02:34] And if there are no questions or concerns about any of those.
[02:38] So it doesn't take a motion to approve as recommended by staff.
[02:43] There's no further discussion.
[02:53] I'll make a motion.
[02:54] Okay.
[02:55] We'll second it.
[02:56] We'll call.
[02:57] Bye.
[02:58] Bye.
[03:00] All right, so all right, item 12 is a public hearing concerning the ordinance to annex a partial
[03:06] land containing 25-183 acres in the south east corner of Section 8 Township 28-23 east
[03:15] Ottawa County Oklahoma Tyler.
[03:18] Yes sir, this is a public hearing.
[03:20] We also have Ken Williams here from Hollis, he is the attorney that helped us with our proposal.
[03:26] And also helped us with as far as the annexation and the ordinance and everything so they
[03:32] are very good at this with being a busy schedule and Georgian working on contracts and everything
[03:35] we've had them to help us with this.
[03:38] So, and this is specifically the land related to the J.M. forms of research.
[03:44] Yes, sir.
[03:45] This is the land that's just adjacent.
[03:46] The drawing is the survey drawing is right there, so you know the current, you can see the
[03:52] salmon colored building right there, it's just dry adjacent to there.
[03:57] And just for the benefit of the viewers or any one of the audience in order to serve the farm with
[04:04] utilities, we are required there required to be within the city limits.
[04:08] Yes sir.
[04:09] The easiest way for us to be to be, so any questions for Tyler or
[04:24] it, I'm sorry, 10 minute again, or Mr. Williams on the resolution, or during the public hearing.
[04:33] I guess this is a public hearing portion, there being that I'm going to close the public hearing
[04:43] and then we're going to move on to item 13, which is the actual ordinance to annex a parcel
[04:48] of land containing 25, 183 acres in the southeast quarter of Section 8, Township 28, brings
[04:55] 23 east, Ottawa, County, Oklahoma, which is the aforementioned property, Tyler anything to
[05:01] add.
[05:02] Yes, sir.
[05:03] Any questions or concerns?
[05:08] Do we have a motion to approve the ordinance for the annexation?
[05:12] Looks to prove.
[05:13] And a second?
[05:14] Sorry.
[05:15] We'll call please.
[05:17] All right.
[05:18] All right.
[05:19] Lewis, I chose.
[05:20] All right.
[05:21] Item 14 is an emergency clause relating to the same ordinance, which would allow the
[05:24] ordinance to go into effect immediately.
[05:26] And the purpose of the need for immediate effect, Tyler is just pretty much so we can get
[05:32] started.
[05:33] Can can talk about this a little bit more because we went back and forth.
[05:38] With your permission, the ordinance would go into effect within Thursday from 10 out, the
[05:47] emergency clause in the back.
[05:50] We would like to get started just with everything going on.
[05:53] Do we have most to approve the emergency clause as recommended by staff?
[05:58] I'll make that necessary.
[05:59] In the second?
[06:00] Second, roll call, please.
[06:02] Loomets, I'd work at question.
[06:04] Hi.
[06:05] Hi.
[06:06] I'm 15, public hearing for Grace Church for 19 foot set back,
[06:10] variance locating at 138 and with ease within the limits
[06:13] of the city of Miami, Christy.
[06:15] Hi.
[06:16] So, Bill is here tonight, also with Grace Church.
[06:19] You've got any questions for him.
[06:21] But this is an application for our variance.
[06:25] And as you can see here, what I've got up here,
[06:28] this is the church that has been built right here.
[06:31] That was where Grace was at our path of stalling.
[06:34] The assembly was recated.
[06:36] This is the fellowship hall in Jim that was there originally
[06:41] in this area here.
[06:43] And then this is an area that is now Grace Church that was built back
[06:48] in 2015.
[06:50] I believe.
[06:52] In 2015, they came before us and then asked for variance
[06:57] at that time for Grace Church so that they could take up
[07:01] the whole space here like the church had previously.
[07:05] What they're wanting to do now is ask for the same variance
[07:09] for the fellowship hall in Jim so that it will
[07:12] marry up to the building next to it.
[07:14] And their plans are to make that one building to join them together.
[07:21] So, Bill, I saw what you guys had to just script the exterior
[07:26] of the fellowship and the hall of the Jim around the red thread.
[07:31] So, then you're going to actually what the deal was actually even.
[07:36] So, the red iron in the back part of the building that had a lower
[07:41] riff line off.
[07:43] And the engineers decided that if we had one steady riff line,
[07:46] we wouldn't have some of the problems that maybe we had in the past.
[07:49] We wouldn't have any on adding on it.
[07:51] So, basically what they're going to do is extend that riff line
[07:54] and the height to the back.
[07:57] And there's going to be that metal is on there's now just temporary dough.
[08:03] We get the building permit, dig the footings or the new red iron
[08:08] going to connect to it.
[08:09] And then there's going to be renovation of the Jim slash activity center.
[08:16] The restrooms, they're going to, the plans are 20 by 30 safe room,
[08:23] underground safe room.
[08:25] And the classroom, things like that.
[08:28] Because we get to lose 60,000 square feet of building.
[08:33] So, can you go back to the other picture for a second?
[08:38] So, is it fair to say if you just took the red roof and extended it to the extent
[08:49] of the battleship hall, that's about what the roof of the new building
[08:53] would apply.
[08:54] And the foot print, it would be the applies that there might be one exception in this.
[09:00] in this area is a drive through this won't go back
[09:05] because they want the drive through
[09:06] it will be access to the alley.
[09:08] There will be probably a little bit of an L-shaped here
[09:11] so that the traffic can still go.
[09:13] Yeah, the quarter cow, you can see it on the next slide
[09:16] what is talking about right here.
[09:23] So this is the back of the current square church.
[09:25] This is the alley as it is today
[09:27] and there's that drive through that.
[09:29] He's talking about.
[09:30] And so the setback is from the front,
[09:33] from A Street or from the alley or a combination of both.
[09:36] So it says 19 feet.
[09:40] Right, that's just on the back.
[09:41] So when I'm assuming, when first Christian built the gene,
[09:45] they got this variance from the setback on the front.
[09:48] Okay.
[09:49] When we built, when we built the building,
[09:51] the new building, we actually just used the line
[09:54] that first Christian church had that for 100 years, for there about.
[09:57] So this is just for the back.
[09:59] So the setback variance on the front already exists,
[10:02] and we're saying, so this is just for the back of that.
[10:05] Even though they did, I'm trying to make note that the setback
[10:11] would be the same on the front.
[10:12] You're right.
[10:14] Any other questions for Phil or Christy?
[10:18] Travis, have you looked at this?
[10:19] Are you okay with it?
[10:20] Okay.
[10:21] They have the preliminary, but I want to make sure
[10:40] they're actually going to be all the back property line.
[10:47] Any other questions or concerns?
[10:50] If not, so this is the public hearing portion, okay.
[10:56] So trying to keep that straight in my head.
[10:58] We're going to close the public hearing,
[10:59] there's anybody else who wants to say anything,
[11:01] but there's a public hearing.
[11:03] Okay, we're going to close the public hearing,
[11:05] and we'll take that bottom 16, which is the application
[11:08] of race church for the 19-foot setback variance.
[11:11] And has this been before any other boards?
[11:16] Okay, because right now, word functioning is that, but we're right, okay.
[11:20] So do we have a motion to approve the application
[11:24] for the setback variance?
[11:25] Moved to approve.
[11:26] Second, second.
[11:27] We'll call for this.
[11:28] Question?
[11:28] Hi.
[11:29] Work it.
[11:30] All right.
[11:30] With yes, so.
[11:32] Hi.
[11:33] Congratulations, Phil.
[11:34] It's been a long journey.
[11:35] It's been you guys, I know.
[11:36] We're excited to, I mean, that corner is clean,
[11:39] and we're just excited to see what it looks like when you're done.
[11:42] Which may be a while, I know.
[11:44] But if there's another plan coming, but for this next page,
[11:49] I will be really excited and it's done.
[11:50] I think we have to ask it.
[11:52] Thank you.
[11:53] All right.
[11:54] Thank you.
[11:56] I'm 17 public hearing again on submission.
[12:00] of grant applications as a United States Department of Agricultural
[12:03] World Development, Community Facility to Wreck, Flone, and Grant, and has my name on it.
[12:08] Yes, there are so glenda, it's here to discuss this.
[12:10] Mainly, this is a formality that the USDA RCV requires, and that's why I've chosen, because it's
[12:23] used to develop. It's a world community development grant, and this is our second application.
[12:29] We applied for one donor and got a front and lower foot straight department. This one we're going
[12:34] for the full 35 percent, which, because of our population, that's all we'll have.
[12:39] And four departments are involved in this. We have the public utilities to get a mini-dark,
[12:47] which they really needed this last week. Solid waste will get some loader adapters.
[12:53] Cemetery is small about it, to help them, that the main thing that we're really
[12:58] hit is we're going to try to get a new, all new stuff for a 911, our dispatch, and it will be chaired,
[13:09] it will be the whole shabend, so to speak. So that's part of the public hearing. It is a 65, 35,
[13:17] 50,000 is as much as this week as we can get. So the departments have,
[13:22] got with the budget committees, and their budgets, they have this many, either in capital improvement,
[13:28] or in their budgets. Today, so this is a formality. It really is going to have to sign as like a way about 45
[13:36] times. I think these are sticky notes in there. This is what they require us to do. It's the only
[13:42] right that I know that requires the public hearing. So our 35% is represented by the 50,000. So if we
[13:50] get it, we'll get another 100,000 in round numbers for a total of 150. Each department that, like the
[13:58] mini-dark is a 142,000 dollars. What we wanted to do is we wanted to get the full 50. So the other three
[14:06] departments didn't quite make the 50,000 to 35%. So it's kind of like he was going to buy this anyway,
[14:14] so let's see if we can get some money back. That's what my job is about is I'm going to get ready to
[14:21] help out, so I'm going to get far so good. Any concerns and reasons why we wouldn't move forward? I mean,
[14:32] the power 50,000 is already there in the budget. And these are just something that something
[14:38] over and applied could cost. 50,000 is what we don't get. The overage of that, the total amount
[14:45] for it is $25,000 to $288 or we'll get 50,000 in the departments individually. $255,000 to $288,000.
[14:55] And each department, let's see, dispatch will have to come up with about $8,900.
[15:00] IT will come up with 784 power supply for the dispatch.
[15:05] Cemetery will be 19,000, the solid waste will come up with 9, and public utilities will
[15:12] come up with around the 100,000.
[15:14] So these were things that were needed in our capital to improve the budget anyway, so we're
[15:18] just trying to leverage that to get an extra 50 to cover the costs.
[15:22] Yes, sir.
[15:23] The cemetery portion will come out of the cemetery care button.
[15:26] So we'll come out of the capital.
[15:28] What was it that the cemetery would do you see?
[15:30] I'm sorry.
[15:31] They're going to get a tractor, a small converter tractor, a loader and a rake in the
[15:35] farming rake.
[15:36] Right now, the department's kind of have to share, and tomorrow for each other, this way,
[15:45] the cemetery can use what they would, when it dries out, they don't have to wait to
[15:49] go get it from another department.
[15:51] They'll have to.
[15:52] And the solid waste, they're going to get a dose of light, and then they'll burn something that
[15:58] may, of course, the mini-direct, you'll kind of know what that is.
[16:01] That's to get into those areas that we don't have alleyways.
[16:04] It was very popular last week during the storm.
[16:08] I said, we needed it last time.
[16:11] I told you, for 9,000, the only new set-up is that the dispatch office, plus we're going to get
[16:19] some cubbies for a week, the rake run, and in new chairs for them, the ever-known chairs.
[16:26] I'm going for a brush.
[16:30] So, will this equipment in dispatch, would that be transferable if we end up with the...
[16:37] Yeah, these are my resources, but we could take what I do.
[16:41] Thank you.
[16:43] And where do we know if we get the grant?
[16:46] Well, Melissa skips that into more.
[16:50] I will immediately send it off to USDA, and then call a representative and say, it's there.
[16:57] How soon is the nice start?
[16:59] Okay.
[17:00] Because basically, we've done everything else.
[17:05] It's ready to go with the exception of the government, you six meters.
[17:11] Okay.
[17:13] So, we're going to close the public hearing portion of the grant process and approval for my signature on the submission documents.
[17:28] Oh, make a motion.
[17:30] And the second place?
[17:31] Okay.
[17:32] Go from.
[17:33] I work it.
[17:34] All right.
[17:35] What's this?
[17:36] All right.
[17:37] I'm 19, except for a jet parking space lease agreement with Francis, EBC, LLC.
[17:43] Is that your name on it?
[17:45] Yes, all right.
[17:46] Did you come out please?
[17:47] You come out to discuss it.
[17:48] And then Chris has been in contact with George Anne.
[17:51] If you guys have any questions from the contracts out of it.
[17:55] Okay.
[17:57] So this is all brand new.
[18:00] And I know if you were here last meeting we appreciate you being back and you came in anticipation of this being voted on the proof tonight
[18:06] And that may happen. It may not
[18:08] Pretty kind of go through the process first crystal
[18:13] I guess some some of the some of the concerns and you know not sure. I guess I'll let you address his first is
[18:22] Why did the city end up using Francis EVC LL city it was opposed to anybody else out there
[18:30] I don't even know how your company came to our attention
[18:33] So, I don't care who addresses that but
[18:37] Frank Francis solar just came to the city. We didn't go out to get them they just came to us
[18:43] And so your business model is you know this grant money is out there
[18:47] There's just a limited time so you're just going out to perspective series and saying well if we have an opportunity here
[18:53] Are you interested?
[18:55] Correct. We know are the company nobody else to do with this okay if you go to any of the other companies
[19:00] They're installing this kind of thing. They want the site host to share and they spend some hour
[19:07] So to you're not a journey only organization right now that is offering this to the city at no cost
[19:13] The least space
[19:15] No cost in this that that's correct
[19:18] our first
[19:19] interaction was basically a letter back to them saying that we
[19:24] were very interested and
[19:31] We're going to find the right right you're right originally we included
[19:38] My insights in with the grants that were being offered. It was part of the Volkswagen
[19:47] Finds for nine missions problem that had any way to reach some million dollars
[19:52] We we gathered 54 sites that we submitted as part of that process
[19:58] On 20 some of them were except of the other ones were as it happens. Miami wasn't one of those
[20:05] But we're still offering the same
[20:08] package deal
[20:10] for all the sites
[20:12] Because we also can take advantage of some
[20:14] tax credit
[20:16] My answer
[20:17] So we have investors who have but who are interested in that so that allows us to
[20:24] Come up with a business model. We're in we actually supply everything
[20:28] We buy the equipment we install it will operate it maintain it everything no cost no liability
[20:36] No risk for the city whatsoever our idea our business model is is that the adoption of electric vehicles is going to come much faster than
[20:46] anticipates right now
[20:48] every year the forecasters short and that
[20:51] At the time
[20:56] I saw one forecast and said by 2025
[21:00] 30% of the new car sold will be electric vehicles.
[21:04] And can you speak to the financial stability of the company?
[21:10] I can.
[21:11] Francis Soler is in Francis, EVC, our both polio subsidiaries
[21:18] of Francis' immutable energy.
[21:20] Francis, the name Francis comes from.
[21:23] Francis oil and gas family.
[21:27] The founder of the company is David Jankowski, the great grandson of the guy
[21:32] Sam Miller, the father of the Francis oil and gas.
[21:35] He's come back to Tulsa.
[21:37] He wants to bolster, foster, clean energy, you know, foam,
[21:43] electric vehicles, solar power, that type of thing.
[21:48] And so, Chris, you might have to speak to this.
[21:53] Let's say that 10 years in, despite all the financial resources,
[21:58] Francis LLC is out of business.
[22:03] What is this?
[22:04] One of the cities I would.
[22:05] Well, you stop servicing the equipment.
[22:07] What are the what rights do the city have at that point?
[22:10] To you go to another company or say, come polio equipment or whatever we want to say.
[22:15] Is Ben on the line?
[22:17] Yes.
[22:18] I actually have sent Ben when I would consider the outcomes as the default.
[22:23] Okay.
[22:24] And let's let him answer that question.
[22:26] Ben, did you hear my question?
[22:28] Yes, I did.
[22:29] So, the contract does have a provision that allows either side to get out of the contract
[22:40] and then the event of a material breach.
[22:43] And so obviously, if they're not providing what has been outlined as the basis of this agreement,
[22:53] then that gives us the city, the opportunity to get out of this agreement with them.
[22:59] If we exercise that option because they're in breach, are they obligated to remove all
[23:06] the equipment as part of that, you know?
[23:12] Well, it provides that there is a, we have to give them 10 days notice and then they have 30 days
[23:24] in which to share the breach.
[23:30] And if that is not the way I would interpret this, then it would be their obligation to take care
[23:42] of what the policy is and if they remove property, they would have to do whatever it is and
[23:49] weren't demanding at that point because they haven't been able to fix their breach.
[23:54] And you feel comfortable with it, that's enforceable.
[23:56] I mean, I know when you get to court, you never know for sure what's going to happen, but...
[24:00] But it shouldn't be enforceable.
[24:03] Yeah, I mean, I'm looking at the language now.
[24:05] George A. is the one that really closely studied this contract.
[24:11] I'm just looking at the language of the default provision.
[24:14] And it appears to me that it's got a percentage standard contract provision.
[24:27] So.
[24:28] Sorry.
[24:29] This site map is we just have a site map for the travel center.
[24:35] We don't have one for.
[24:37] We can pull it up on Google Earth and show if we would like.
[24:41] But then that's on we can pull up the Google Earth one.
[24:53] So.
[24:54] And this may be part of what they can speak to.
[24:57] This particular agreement.
[25:00] This is just for the turnpark.
[25:03] Yeah.
[25:04] That's what that is.
[25:06] There was there was some discussion about where we put the one out there directly behind the call monitor in the lot.
[25:11] And that was really we really never decided.
[25:13] So I mean, that's probably something we can decide to not to.
[25:16] We don't agree where we want to put it at.
[25:18] Or that.
[25:19] I thought that was going.
[25:20] The.
[25:21] The partners.
[25:22] Your chapter.
[25:23] Yeah.
[25:24] Yeah.
[25:25] Yeah.
[25:26] It'd be the chapters.
[25:29] I'm just trying to see what mentioned.
[25:31] Of course, it doesn't mention a specific location.
[25:33] Yeah.
[25:34] So just as for.
[25:35] I'm part of it.
[25:36] I'm part of it.
[25:37] It's a tourism information center.
[25:39] And four offices.
[25:42] And.
[25:43] And.
[25:44] I think I brought up on the call.
[25:48] Just because I mean.
[25:50] Yeah.
[25:51] I don't want to.
[25:52] You know, those partners.
[25:53] Both.
[25:54] They're not.
[25:55] They want to see what they want.
[25:56] Or we.
[25:57] You almost want to make sure that they're in a spot where.
[26:01] They're accessible.
[26:02] More.
[26:03] More often.
[26:04] I know you said your business model.
[26:06] You can't play it all.
[26:07] And it's.
[26:08] What did you say the closest one.
[26:10] That your company has to Miami.
[26:12] But you don't have anything.
[26:15] But the closest.
[26:17] The closest.
[26:18] The closest.
[26:19] Chargers that are comfortable.
[26:20] This are.
[26:21] But your company does not have.
[26:23] Those were.
[26:24] Didn't.
[26:25] Didn't.
[26:27] You say hard rock.
[26:28] I rock as well.
[26:29] Yeah.
[26:30] And.
[26:31] Tesla.
[26:32] Chargers.
[26:33] Super.
[26:34] Are there any cities around that are about.
[26:35] Our size that you deal with.
[26:37] We've not.
[26:38] We've not installed any.
[26:40] Outside.
[26:41] Outside.
[26:42] Yes.
[26:44] We have.
[26:45] That.
[26:46] Our goal is to have.
[26:47] A hundred of them.
[26:48] A hundred sites.
[26:51] This year.
[26:52] And have you received approval from any other.
[26:56] Communities.
[26:57] Our size.
[26:58] Maybe that would be a fair way to ask to question.
[27:03] Norman, sure, there's four or five other guys out of what the different territories.
[27:13] Okay.
[27:14] But I do know that most of the sure and all that they could be improved and just started
[27:19] in what we're today.
[27:23] Installing the infrastructure.
[27:25] Installing the infrastructure.
[27:26] And that's a city building.
[27:28] And I think in talking in the back a few minutes ago, the sense of urgency, this is so much
[27:35] going here in town.
[27:36] It's not all that you speak to the lead time.
[27:39] The distinction between the two different types.
[27:42] Right.
[27:43] Right.
[27:45] Our ability to do this at no cost and our ability to give the city almost a million dollars
[27:57] for the infrastructure that will benefit everybody, for no cost and the city.
[28:03] The ability to do that depends on getting this done at a timely manner, so we can take advantage
[28:08] of the tax credit finance.
[28:10] The tax credits are applicable to things installed in 2019, that's fine understanding.
[28:19] And there's a lead time for getting the equipment.
[28:23] It's not like you've got it.
[28:25] Well, it was invited.
[28:27] So the lead time on the ones here in town, you said it was probably six to eight.
[28:32] You've been told to be that the ones here in town are going to be 50 kilowatt size.
[28:37] And those are more available.
[28:40] They could take a month or two to get those.
[28:42] The ones that we're talking about on the turn by are going to be 200 or 400 kilowatt.
[28:48] I'm not sure yet.
[28:50] But those are custom made.
[28:53] And we have to order those.
[28:54] And those will take months.
[28:55] I've been told 46 months.
[28:57] And so if you got the OK, June 1.
[29:01] And it takes six months.
[29:03] You're pressing the calendar to get it installed by the end of the year as you're concerned.
[29:09] And if it all took two months, it would be a big deal.
[29:12] We don't know how long it's going to take.
[29:14] Right.
[29:17] So what happens if we accept this and we don't get it installed by 2019?
[29:21] Nothing on us, right?
[29:25] It's not good.
[29:26] It's not good.
[29:27] Yeah.
[29:28] No rest, no liability, no cost.
[29:30] Put the city plan.
[29:33] I guess my apprehension is.
[29:35] It sounds too good to be driven.
[29:37] Understood.
[29:39] Our motivation for doing this is that we're the only ones doing this.
[29:44] We're the ones, the funder of the company is a lot.
[29:47] Who has a vision to see that we're going to have a lot of electric vehicles,
[29:52] or people that want those, and people are going to need someplace to charge.
[29:57] Kansas City.
[29:59] Kansas City.
[30:00] the city of Kansas City and utilities up there when they had and
[30:04] finance the building out of a large infrastructure and they had a lot more
[30:09] electric vehicles there because people, what electric vehicles, they'll see
[30:13] they can charge them. I mean, I've told a lot of people about this trying to
[30:17] convince them, you know, it's like vehicles are coming through. I thought of that
[30:21] but I don't know where I charge it. Why wouldn't it do that? Is this tax credit money?
[30:25] You mentioned the Volkswagen dealer and what John Fumeir with, I don't know
[30:29] that everybody is, is this part of that settlement? The money that's
[30:34] available to the tax credits? That was the grant money. That was the grant money.
[30:39] The tax incentive is a separate thing that's being offered.
[30:44] What got you kind of rolling on it was the grant money and then looking at the model,
[30:52] you said, we want to continue on. My understanding is that initially what we were
[30:59] doing this with electric co-ops in Western Oklahoma, Western Farms specifically
[31:06] in their members and we had worked out a deal with some of them where we would
[31:11] install this, they saw this in a great way that they could sell more electricity
[31:17] and they encouraged their members to drive what up to cars, use what electricity, et cetera, et cetera.
[31:23] And so they were installing charging stations that had like the co-op officers and stuff,
[31:28] and so they did that. With the understanding then that there would be a payment.
[31:32] And those payments became late and later and later and so we just
[31:36] just repossessed the whole thing in other hours and they're now, they rethought the model
[31:40] of the pet. We'll just buy them, we'll install them for no cost and then we'll take the risk.
[31:49] We're betting that in five years it's going to be alive.
[31:57] If you look at that picture in the back in 1920, I mean all more cars.
[32:05] That same street in 1900, I don't know how many more cars would be out of that street, probably more
[32:11] because we're thinking that that change is going to happen a lot faster.
[32:19] It's sort of a chicken and they don't feel.
[32:23] People think, oh, that's a car that would be nice, but we're going to charge it.
[32:28] People don't want it to install charging infrastructure because that's really expensive
[32:32] and they don't see the device, the driver will let you cars.
[32:37] Why would you build a bridge across that river that was crossing the river?
[32:41] So the customer, when they get their electric, they pay your company for the electric.
[32:50] Just like we would pay the gas company for a truck.
[32:53] And then the city.
[32:55] We'd have a meter on it, just like if you got it from your house, so we would sell it.
[33:00] them that electricity, you know, at our rates and what way we had to, you know, so then we
[33:04] would make that revenue off of it.
[33:07] Yeah, it would be extra of it for the utility.
[33:10] Sure.
[33:11] Then we would encourage people to buy electric vehicles.
[33:15] The state of Oklahoma is getting behind this as well.
[33:17] The state of Oklahoma has instituted, which is a sign, I think, recently, the governor
[33:25] on their sign of bill that extends the tax credit for people buying electric vehicles.
[33:31] So there's a federal tax credit, the state tax credit, so the push is for electric vehicles.
[33:40] You said you had written a grant hub that you said 55 was the proposed number of
[33:47] towns or communities.
[33:49] Yeah, that was in our grant.
[33:52] And then how many did you get 26?
[34:01] And how many of those have actually jumped on board with you in doing this?
[34:07] Oh, they've all signed up.
[34:09] They've all signed the letter of a ten.
[34:24] I mean, sounds like no risk.
[34:27] I can't understand why the quick trips in Tulsa which are everywhere.
[34:32] Have it come on board with at least one charging station.
[34:36] Well, indirectly heard from somebody on our staff who goes to church with a retired member.
[34:46] Executive, quick trip.
[34:53] And he says that they're planning on coming out with their own in ten years.
[35:00] And we approach them.
[35:04] And one man, so we got some of what we don't feel threatened by that technology.
[35:12] Well, I can see what they were going to feel threatened in the short run, but in the long run.
[35:17] I mean, we don't have to feel threatened by technology.
[35:20] And they also, I mean, if you look at the loud as their stores, if they're going to do this, they're going to have to change it.
[35:25] You can't, you're not going to have electric charge stations out front.
[35:28] That people are anticipating only being at five minutes unless the technology changes dramatically.
[35:33] Oh, yeah, well, the 400 kilowatt charge you can get now.
[35:38] I'm not sure, but that's the max.
[35:40] But the technology of the charger plus the technology in the car itself,
[35:45] the car itself will limit how much electricity can, because the batteries get warm as you charge them.
[35:55] And at some point they kind of have to dial that back so they don't get too warm.
[36:00] But that technology is all being worked out right now, the fastest you can charge to the
[36:05] vehicle that you can drive now is like 15-20 minutes.
[36:10] But that'll happen, you know, when they figure out battery technology, battery technology
[36:19] is increasing every year, the cost of coming down 10-20 percent every year on that.
[36:25] That's getting better.
[36:26] There's some day it's going to leave over.
[36:28] It's going to turn into capacitors, which will be able to get a charge.
[36:33] You know, that's faster faster than you can fill up the gas net.
[36:37] Once they perfected that, torque packs on the old mine for somebody, especially if they get
[36:44] the trucks that can be charged as well, because there's thousands of go up and down.
[36:50] Which I think will lead to the mechanic end of it, too.
[36:58] So I'm excited about this.
[37:00] I'd like to see it.
[37:01] I was filling up with gas last night, and I don't know who tuned up the guys truck.
[37:06] We've got to choke me to death, trying to get the gas in my car.
[37:11] So from an environmental standpoint, I think it's going to be a good thing.
[37:14] Then you have not looked at this, except for the default laws.
[37:20] Right.
[37:22] Torgin, one of the his closely examined it.
[37:25] The other question that I'd just feel compelled to fill you in on, we have not confirmed that the
[37:36] turnpike authority and or the tourism and that's through tourism to the turnpike authority
[37:45] that we're running where we have positions of the kick.
[37:52] Now, the folks from Francis are telling us that they are being approved across the state by those entities.
[38:05] The weed are not aware of it at this point for this specific thing.
[38:11] I have supplied a letter that we got from the OTA.
[38:17] It was a two human being in certain type of things saying that there is four charging facilities at their properties.
[38:28] Do we have a legal capacity to enter into this lease for the turnpike spots?
[38:37] Well, in general, no, but it's our electricity that they're going to be selling there.
[38:46] That's why I'm pointing this out.
[38:48] The turnpike authority has to approve it because they are the owners of the land.
[38:53] And then we have possession of it through the Department of Tourism.
[39:00] who has a contract with the turn by authority for which allows us to have that property.
[39:09] So if we sign, if we voted the proof this tonight, is it incumbent on us then to go to the Department of Tourism
[39:17] or some incumbent on Francis to go and follow up to make sure they get the approval they need?
[39:25] I think it's on them, although we are, my impression is that we're jointly working on this to get the approval since the project is a whole, is mutually beneficial to both the city and to Francis.
[39:42] We would be working very hard.
[39:45] But you understand that just because we approve it tonight doesn't mean that it's approved from the other, the ownership of the land perspective.
[39:53] Okay. So we're kind of approving it contingent on further approval by whoever.
[40:01] So if we approve it and then the OTA does not approve it, are we still bound to put the one behind the on A Street?
[40:10] I believe so, yes.
[40:18] If we think it's a good thing, if we think it's a good thing and we lose one of them, we still, you know, from my point of view, we should have the other.
[40:34] And I think, you know, there are larger cities, I brought this up last time.
[40:42] They are starting to see some revenue being made off of these machines.
[40:46] I mean, there's even talk, still are an admin, being on the Mesa Board.
[40:50] They're actually looking at changing their rates for this equipment, because though you can probably relate to this,
[40:56] because they have to build the infrastructure to get the power to them, which is, you know, I mean, a 400, you know,
[41:02] who's talking about would take a pretty good infrastructure. I mean, and so then, you know, there could be a draw on it, all of a sudden, or there could set there for two days of being a draw on it.
[41:11] So these cities are figuring out, okay, we'll discharge, we'll have an EV charging station rate, you know, to recoup our infrastructure.
[41:18] I mean, they're, they're becoming more and more popular.
[41:22] It reminds me of these emergency lights up here.
[41:25] It's got a DC to DC converter in it, and they will, you know, they don't come on until you lose your power.
[41:32] So there's a trick of charge that happens, and I can see even if this becomes popular, maybe we would move it from where it's at.
[41:41] If I had a restaurant in town, and I had a charging station there, and somebody's going to wait for 30 minutes to get through vehicle charged,
[41:52] and they're hungry or they're going to use the bathroom or whatever.
[41:56] You know, it's a drawing card force.
[42:00] So, terrorism just clarifies something that you said a minute ago.
[42:07] The infrastructure that's going to be necessary out of the turn pie to supply 400 whatever
[42:14] these things are, volts or whatever, the cost to get that power there is borne by it.
[42:22] It would be borne by it.
[42:23] But you have to think that infrastructure is already there, but you're looking at more of like
[42:28] the use of that infrastructure.
[42:29] So, the power going through that power line, you know, because there's think about it,
[42:34] like we have a demand charge on commercial industrial meters.
[42:38] So, I mean, you know, we charge you based on, you know, your highest use is that you have.
[42:42] Well, these cities are, you know, they're just, they're just building them on the highest use
[42:46] use possible that they could have because, yes, you have the infrastructure there, but you were,
[42:50] the life cycle cost analysis of this infrastructure is being less and less just because of
[42:55] the use of it.
[42:56] We're not going to have to add it for sure.
[42:57] No, sir, no, sir.
[42:59] We've already got everything.
[43:00] Yes, man.
[43:01] I mean, I mean, either, like, when I said by mistake, the Coleman, like, but instead of the chapters,
[43:06] you know, we have all that electric underground there, we went here a few years ago and put
[43:09] all the electric underground.
[43:10] So, we already have the transformers there and everything, you know, we would just have them
[43:14] hook right up to the transformer, we would be right there.
[43:18] So, we don't have to do any other infrastructure for ourselves.
[43:21] So, if there's any cost to the city, it would be minimum.
[43:25] Yes.
[43:26] So, based on being, is it, if it's laying idle, if it's using it or, I mean, just that.
[43:31] Well, just, here's the lines already running underground.
[43:35] Well, they may have to date a whole, we may have to hold it in the tap into it, right?
[43:39] It's already there.
[43:40] Yeah.
[43:41] We already have this.
[43:42] We have a massive, they're huge.
[43:43] Yeah.
[43:44] We have like a 300 KVA transformer set in there, for example, behind chapters.
[43:48] So, you know, like, yes, if this gets used a lot and that transformer gets, you know, we
[43:52] can see it's getting warmer, then we'll put a 500 there or something, but I mean, that's
[43:57] good for us, but that's a lot of power.
[43:58] That's a lot more power.
[43:59] Yeah, we're selling more power.
[44:00] But we're not going to have to lay any more power.
[44:02] No, sir.
[44:03] Okay.
[44:04] For anything.
[44:05] To accommodate.
[44:06] No, sir.
[44:08] Okay.
[44:09] Again, you know, if somebody was going to build something out there that you need to get power to
[44:13] you would charge them to do that, right?
[44:16] That's, that's what we intend to make this no cost.
[44:23] Okay.
[44:26] And if we put one on A Street, that one, in fact, anybody's electricity, there's also on
[44:32] that transformer.
[44:33] No, man.
[44:34] No, man.
[44:35] So, if, if for some reason they had a large use on it, we would just put a bigger transformer in.
[44:41] So, you know, like, I mean, just transformers are size for usage and how many amps you can run
[44:45] off of it.
[44:46] So, if, if for some reason, they had a large draw from now on, then we would just put a bigger
[44:50] transformer.
[44:51] And that makes me very happy because then we have, you know, you know, we have a net.
[44:55] So, I don't know, I don't know what the paper is, I guess they're for me.
[45:00] I'm just wondering if I was a local business owner on that block and I'm seven cars pulling, of course, right now
[45:07] Cars aren't so much electric
[45:09] Would I want parking spots behind mind a lot that can't I guess they can be utilized by anybody, right?
[45:16] But if a car is parked there for
[45:18] 15-20 minutes to get charged
[45:21] I don't know. I'm just trying to think of what the people on that block. I was a business
[45:26] How would I feel about
[45:28] Have we talked about these businesses on that block Tyler?
[45:32] No, man, that's not that I'm aware of and I'd be happy to go talk to chapters and all of them
[45:37] I'm just doing it to let them know what's going on and I mean, I think it would be a good draw for their business
[45:41] Yeah, I don't know. I say that long term, but right now
[45:47] Because there aren't that many cars that are out there. They're how far super sweet for the next door next door
[45:53] Yeah, I'd have me a sign right after next to get the
[45:57] Do we have any cars transformers behind the Coleman? Yes, there's transomers down through there everywhere
[46:04] And I figured whatever spots
[46:06] You know that two that we figured out for them. We would just somewhere try to put them close by the transomers
[46:13] So I don't know I've ever seen electric car even in town, but aren't they dual fuel?
[46:20] Some gasoline and then and then you charge the battery and
[46:24] Yeah, I'll plug in hybrid. We have hybrid. Yeah, we have do they have
[46:33] Solar panels on them as well. Not yet
[46:39] GRDA just recently purchased I believe it's a vote and it's it's I got to ride in and it will set you back whenever they step on the gas
[46:48] So it's very interesting when you're thinking about a combustion engine versus you know electric vehicle
[46:53] The electric vehicles are gonna have that being cheaper
[46:59] There's like 12 moving parts of the dry train
[47:08] Christan you see new modality issues with this at all. I know did George and say anything has she
[47:34] That both sides have reached out to
[47:56] So the energy show there
[48:00] So if we approve this, and for some reason, the term by authority says no, the city has no liability in that.
[48:14] This is currently drawn. Is that correct?
[48:18] Or is that the question that I was kind of clarify with Chris by text message here?
[48:28] Like I said, I have not examined the contract in detail, and I'm just wanting to make sure that we are not representing that we are the owners that have property.
[48:37] Everybody understands that, but I certainly don't want the contract to be saying that we are the owners of the pick property.
[48:46] Prevent contingent upon OTA approval.
[48:51] You would be happy with the contingent upon type clause in that.
[49:05] I'm just confident that we can get a response from the OTA.
[49:13] So if the motion was made to approve the lease agreement contingent on either the term by authority or the tourism authority,
[49:21] whichever has the final say so over the property, you would be satisfied with that,
[49:30] and then would you move forward with what is possible and make sure you got approval?
[49:39] And if we're going to do that, I would suggest that the statute to the approval of both because both are involved in this and in our specific arrangement with the tick.
[49:50] Okay. Any other questions?
[49:56] As much as I like the concept and I like the idea, I fully, in favor of this type of thing, the way for false appeals,
[50:04] I feel like we should personally speak with the businesses and get their insight on that are on that street.
[50:12] So if we approve this as it's written right now that is all that vague on the downtown location,
[50:23] we would have the flexibility to say to you and I'm going to use chapters, just for shortness.
[50:29] I didn't see any go behind chapters or go behind the cold.
[50:34] Do you have any concerns with a go behind the cold?
[50:37] We just need to speak.
[50:39] We're going to go.
[50:40] We're going to talk with you.
[50:41] We're going to talk with you.
[50:42] We're going to talk with you.
[50:43] We're going to talk with you.
[50:44] I got to work with the call of him.
[50:45] I love him.
[50:46] I'm going to show you the word I can certain where to that.
[50:50] I understand.
[50:51] I'm just trying to figure out if we have a consensus tonight or not.
[50:54] I understand.
[50:55] If his concerns could be addressed about the business owners.
[51:00] And I'm happy to talk to the business owners tomorrow or Thursday or
[51:04] some of my staff down there just to say we're at these two location with
[51:09] you feel better and I can shoot any amount to everybody. I'm gonna just let them know.
[51:13] Thank you. What are your?
[51:17] It just sounds too good. I mean it doesn't. That scares me.
[51:27] This goes away. And I say other companies are charging.
[51:33] I know, but that's my question. Why are you picking line up loan to come in and give
[51:39] us millions of dollars of things that other people are charging us for?
[51:43] Because we can get the tax credits here.
[51:46] Are they getting it?
[51:48] Different states, different rules.
[51:51] I believe a lot of it has to do with the location to being in our 44.
[51:55] Well be it on an or state.
[51:57] I mean they're building an infrastructure for us.
[51:59] What work to buy in our base week state line to state line?
[52:04] It makes sense that we're in there somewhere.
[52:07] Oh yeah, it's a long thing.
[52:09] This is ideal spire for this because it's like, you know, it's where
[52:14] Route 66 come into a home on 44.
[52:18] I'm not sure exactly what the statistic is.
[52:20] But a very large percentage of the traffic that comes through a home
[52:25] that comes right down the highway.
[52:28] So it's the first response for it.
[52:33] And you know, in five or 10 years, you know, all the store owners are going to be
[52:38] wanting to say, I want to buy one from my parking lot.
[52:43] Because my competitors got one, and now everything goes there.
[52:47] I come to my store anymore.
[52:50] So we've discussed an approval contingent on the approval of the term
[52:54] like authority and the tourism authority.
[52:57] And then you're concerned about the following business owners.
[53:05] Are you suggesting that you want to wait and not vote until half of that,
[53:10] or if I'll continue on some feedback from them?
[53:13] I mean, it's kind of hard to vote if it takes on feedback,
[53:16] and then it's really how varied it might be.
[53:19] Some of them I just guess.
[53:21] Well, and I'm going to assume that would be on board with this.
[53:25] I think it's clear that I'm comfortable with it, but we need three votes,
[53:38] and Brian is not here, so if you're not comfortable voting tonight,
[53:42] and we've got to figure out if it is or not.
[53:44] If she's not, then we've got to wait till we'll fix it.
[53:47] It's just so I go.
[53:50] Who knows our next meeting.
[53:51] Two weeks.
[54:02] Take my chance.
[54:04] I mean it's good for our economy.
[54:06] I mean it's good for the economy. It's good for our ecosystem. It's good for our okay.
[54:11] I'm thinking.
[54:13] Bill boards my shop.
[54:15] I am.
[54:18] I'm not.
[54:19] I'm not.
[54:20] I'm not saying okay.
[54:21] If it doesn't go right there to that.
[54:23] Right.
[54:24] They can still see.
[54:25] That part of it.
[54:27] I'm real comfortable with that.
[54:28] Would you, do you guys feel better there?
[54:30] I mean, behind chapters.
[54:32] Or do you, I mean, look at more behind the
[54:34] Coleman because either one will work as far as our infrastructure.
[54:36] I say the Coleman is, I mean, that.
[54:38] I want them to be successful.
[54:40] Yeah.
[54:41] Yeah.
[54:42] I want to get used.
[54:43] Yeah.
[54:45] And I don't know if they should have partnered with full of most of the time.
[54:47] Yeah.
[54:48] That's why I like the Coleman.
[54:49] That's why I like the Coleman.
[54:50] Full of salt.
[54:51] Personally, that's what I like.
[54:53] But.
[54:55] So like, I mean, I think you've spoken on this last
[54:59] year.
[55:00] 20 years down there.
[55:01] You guys are going to maintain this equipment.
[55:03] Oh, absolutely.
[55:04] Great.
[55:05] All right.
[55:06] All right.
[55:07] No cost.
[55:08] Oh, that's.
[55:09] We'll take care of all that.
[55:10] There's.
[55:11] They're all network.
[55:12] It costs.
[55:13] I was told $5,000.
[55:14] You're just to keep it.
[55:15] That work.
[55:16] It's not.
[55:17] It's not.
[55:18] That's when they really start making.
[55:20] Right.
[55:21] In the first five years.
[55:22] They're not going to make.
[55:23] It's.
[55:24] Yeah.
[55:25] Six.
[55:26] Three.
[55:27] Fifty.
[55:29] Yeah.
[55:30] Roll out.
[55:32] Okay.
[55:33] So.
[55:35] I'm going to make a motion.
[55:37] I'll take away what we talked about.
[55:40] I'll tell you if I'm right around.
[55:42] I'm going to make a motion to accept the parking space.
[55:45] The least agreement with Francis E.V.C.
[55:47] LLC contingent on approval of the turn by authority and the tourism authority.
[55:54] So that's the name of it.
[55:57] Do we have a second?
[55:58] Second.
[55:59] Roll.
[56:00] Roll.
[56:01] Should.
[56:02] What's the list?
[56:03] Yes.
[56:04] Forget.
[56:06] Okay.
[56:07] Thank you for your time.
[56:09] And your.
[56:10] The diligence and explaining everything.
[56:12] Happy to hear.
[56:13] I'm 20.
[56:14] Automatically contract with the Welfare Department Chief.
[56:18] We talked into the agreement with the Welfare Department on the
[56:24] log making agreement.
[56:26] We currently respond upon request as they do for us.
[56:31] We utilize a law on district runs on what we're finding.
[56:38] Road west.
[56:39] So that puts us about seven miles out of them.
[56:42] So with grass fires, unstructured fires, or barracks, or a good benefit to us.
[56:49] So we'd like to just end.
[56:50] And us to then we've been over there a couple times on the commercial fires.
[56:54] Okay.
[56:55] Do you like that?
[56:56] So we've heard a little bit of that.
[56:58] Have that we've done this before.
[57:00] We do the football.
[57:02] Like we can do with both.
[57:04] And eventually I'd like to have everybody in our district have one with them.
[57:08] Everybody surrounding us.
[57:10] All right.
[57:11] Makes sense.
[57:12] Any concerns at all?
[57:14] Is there any drawback chief to doing this?
[57:17] Did you know?
[57:18] Just to win.
[57:19] Can we?
[57:20] Rather than get there and then decide to need somebody.
[57:23] If they're headed that way, you can always turn back.
[57:25] And then you need to be on that weight five minutes or ten for some else.
[57:28] Five minutes could make a big difference in some cases.
[57:31] And it's still the longest.
[57:32] The same 911 call center.
[57:34] And it just depends.
[57:35] Who ever did dispatch tells who to go?
[57:39] Okay.
[57:40] Okay.
[57:41] Do we have a most you've proven about 20?
[57:42] I'll make a motion.
[57:43] Second.
[57:44] Second.
[57:45] Roll call please.
[57:46] Loose.
[57:47] Aye.
[57:48] OK.
[57:49] All right.
[57:50] I've been out of the 21.
[57:51] Is a transfer in ownership of an old rescue truck to Welch?
[57:56] Yes.
[57:57] Are our old five that we replace after being came and roomed in it?
[58:02] No.
[58:03] No.
[58:04] No.
[58:05] It goes on the third five in that truck or room for five runs a day.
[58:08] And that one, we just have got all the use out of it that we can get.
[58:13] And it's Welch, heard that we were looking to surplus that they were interested.
[58:20] Does it have a pump or anything on it?
[58:22] No.
[58:23] It's just a rescue truck.
[58:24] Which they've got?
[58:25] There's some tankers and grass trucks, but they don't have one truck.
[58:28] They've all heard with an arm.
[58:29] The rescue, whether it's farm, it's limited, you know, vehicle rescue.
[58:33] They have to run a grass truck or something.
[58:35] So, OK.
[58:36] This will benefit them.
[58:37] But it'd be like having a cat-like for them to show us that one.
[58:41] They've got the canings over there that are already talking about.
[58:44] If they were able to re-do them in and they need some marks.
[58:49] Well, I'm glad we can help them.
[58:51] Any concerns?
[58:52] We have a motion to approve the transfer of ownership.
[58:57] And I'm sorry, Robert.
[58:59] The end there's no issues with this, right?
[59:01] I mean, this is the power thing here.
[59:05] We've got a Medicaid contract that re-emlies our quick pro-corporate or a loss consideration.
[59:14] OK.
[59:15] Thank you.
[59:16] Ron, may the motion do we have a second?
[59:18] Low call please.
[59:20] All right.
[59:21] Question.
[59:22] I choose.
[59:23] I don't point to those concerns.
[59:25] It's a couple of my nominations to, I think, both of the year for board.
[59:30] One is a re-appointment.
[59:33] Renewal and the other is pointing Ron.
[59:36] Penning to replace the other.
[59:38] I think Ron was on the year for years ago.
[59:40] It seems like I know he's.
[59:43] I think he was for some reason.
[59:45] I could be mistaken.
[59:46] But anyway, if you for your consideration,
[59:49] we'll see in there are those two nominations.
[59:51] I like a motion.
[59:52] Yeah, the second.
[59:53] I'll second.
[59:54] Roll call please.
[59:55] Loose.
[59:56] I forget.
[59:57] All right.
[59:58] All right.
[59:59] Thank you.
[60:00] And you visit other new business and the other new business, any one, 24 staff reports.
[60:06] They're present at the other questions.
[60:08] 25 is a mental council announcement,
[60:12] and the announcements.
[60:15] 26 says communications.
[60:17] I think it's.
[60:18] Yes, sir.
[60:19] Thank you.
[60:20] Thank you, sir.
[60:21] So I would just like to say thank you to the City of Clarence,
[60:24] to Telequip Public Works Authority,
[60:26] and also to GRDA for the Future Light Help.
[60:28] You know, when we had our big, the tornado, the F1 tornado,
[60:32] they came through.
[60:33] I was on the phone with Telequip Public Works Director.
[60:36] If 330 in the morning, like saying,
[60:38] can you send us some help?
[60:39] Could we need some help in different areas?
[60:41] You know, you sent us back to no problem.
[60:43] Same thing with Clarence, seven o'clock.
[60:44] I reached out to them.
[60:45] They happily sent four people.
[60:47] Telequip wasn't seven.
[60:49] And then GRDA came down with one big crew of 69 people.
[60:54] So they, I mean with them and other help,
[60:57] I mean, it was definitely a blessing to get everybody back on,
[61:00] and all the polls.
[61:01] But back, they will have blown over from the winds and everything.
[61:05] So I just want to say thank you to them.
[61:07] We appreciate it.
[61:08] And we appreciate it.
[61:09] It doesn't work.
[61:10] Hard work of all the City staff electrical and everybody.
[61:13] We'll necessarily have to clean that.
[61:16] But they got it down.
[61:17] They got it done quickly.
[61:19] Okay.
[61:21] I didn't 21.
[61:22] We're going to continue to meeting in the meeting room one
[61:26] for an executive session.
[61:28] So you'll grab your stuff.
[61:30] If we're just going to adjourn from there.
