[06:51] Water Regasement with land plan

[06:53] that is sold and incorporated to prepare

[06:56] conceptual master plans

[06:58] for a new sports complex

[07:00] like FICC25,000

[07:02] This is what we're given

[07:03] You guys remember back in the spring of last year

[07:06] at 20 or 23 you guess

[07:07] it kind give me had little direction

[07:09] to put together

[07:09] A plan

[07:10] and conceptual planning

[07:11] What I support on

[07:12] was my product

[07:13] My work on

[07:15] In July

[07:16] I asked forward

[07:16] The funding

[07:17] To get that planned garden started

[07:19] And basically

[07:20] this plan

[07:21] with land plans

[07:22] It's just start

[07:23] Start day

[07:24] Conceptual design

[07:26] We'll look

[07:27] Roughly

[07:29] I'm the anchor to these things like that

[07:31] This is just a first step of

[07:33] And if you guys approve this

[07:34] It starts

[07:35] Set up meetings with land plan

[07:36] To start put it

[07:37] Start together

[07:38] Hey truck real quick

[07:41] Is something

[07:42] The ad foundation

[07:43] has been trying

[07:44] Do for quite some years

[07:45] and they've already

[07:47] drawn-up plans

[07:51] Staking

[07:54] Atonere

[07:57] Athletic

[08:00] They have all this stuff thrown up already. I've seen a few things because our first

[08:05] Forward soccer fields baseball field basketball courts indoor outdoor rodeo grounds once or truck in arena

[08:11] Right, i mean

[08:13] All of that's what it looks like

[08:15] What would cost how many acreage home take-ards and step they with need

[08:21] To me we'd make sense to get within look at their stuff for speak more the city goes out

[08:30] And spins after twenty five thousand dollars

[08:31] I have something drawn up that's already drawing-up

[08:33] That the city could utilize at least look out and see what their stuff is before even thinking about moving forward with this

[08:46] You know, there are 100 acres within

[08:49] The City Miami. This couldn't be my own

[08:53] Oxet i'm just kind of when off was right

[08:57] But no problem said don't Brian

[08:58] And then we'd assume they've got grown on bucks it upstairs pieces over in a past

[09:02] The next first started that program I was actually on the board and then it just kind of pissed us about

[09:15] Other things so

[09:24] Just design yeah

[09:27] Funding's already there. It start been approved

[09:28] Just to see where looks like the funding for yes

[09:38] Well maybe in light of already having any information do we want a table at and then

[09:46] Do you talk about them?

[09:48] See, they've mentioned are made morning

[09:51] Probably apply that twenty five thousand on

[09:54] Yeah, something else

[09:57] I'm from set downtown suit is got sick people share was just

[10:01] I think he would probably be willing to share

[10:08] Sembin. No, that's the ultimate goal of them is

[10:14] To have sports complex with him and say so if this does exist could we?

[10:23] Have a work study

[10:24] This being topic in works studies session where you can present what was already out there

[10:29] So let me see it

[10:36] Just trying

[10:36] See i mean

[10:38] We couldn't save twenty five thousand dollars, not spending if somethings are even drawn up

[10:43] I've seen bits and pieces of it not full scale what are the five or more he's got

[10:52] Back to my home for sure. Do they have a location?

[10:55] Understand that had forty acres

[10:58] Got accounting south of mine, but i don't know if anything else

[11:02] Not done one at those eighty-eighths

[11:04] There is only 40 out there by their old cemetery

[11:08] On straight on up

[11:10] that there are around 66, yeah.

[11:12] There's only 40 other on the older 60s

[11:15] because they all have their 40 sets

[11:17] onto cemetery

[11:20] so it'll only 30 to 40

[11:21] if you can build them

[11:23] That is outside of the city limits

[11:24] correct? Yes

[11:29] For a context standpoint

[11:30] and what I had

[11:31] with actually having involved in

[11:32] this first year was

[11:34] involving after

[11:35] It has not been much

[11:36] communication for me

[11:37] personally

[11:38] So i'm going show

[11:39] context standpoint

[11:40] from getting

[11:42] the ground

[11:45] something

[11:45] The City

[11:45] Of some

[11:46] forward

[11:47] Something

[11:47] These use

[11:48] Sports

[11:49] Is this something the city's gonna take over since they don't currently run any use sports?

[11:55] I could see that.

[11:57] I can still have like a city turn on your technical number to stop off over and just be here

[12:02] Number two, right

[12:04] Unfortunately there are alot of parents who're just not stepping up these days so

[12:09] And i want my kids out play

[12:11] So we'll step back for taking over, ready

[12:14] On The 48th is Cali has, has the community progress in Sports Club by 12

[12:18] I also don't know how kids speak to what

[12:23] Actually, i'd be more involved in setting up the media behind and before that works out

[12:28] Make sure it's something else

[12:30] But dont think about 40 acres still available if they have anything because

[12:34] Think of a year like progress or whatever back at The County

[12:38] From my bank county commissioner

[12:41] How many wrong with all thoughts?

[12:44] So i think it'd be wise to visit the crime before trying to move forward with this and see what they have planned out

[12:54] Whether there's acreage, currently available or funding current is not

[12:59] I mean if you're just looking for a plan

[13:03] Just let me know about that.

[13:05] Just see how many acres in more.

[13:07] Just take one out of here

[13:09] There are a lot stop

[13:11] Just as it gets too much in detail

[13:14] So i'll ask you a little bit more details about that

[13:18] I'm not sure what firm they used to get their plan, and how many stuff

[13:22] We got one.

[13:25] Well table this

[13:27] Yeah, the table is fine

[13:30] And we can take them out

[13:35] Have your time with me taking the action

[13:41] All right

[13:44] So i have a board lease purchase agreement

[13:47] Q244-Droid

[13:49] To bank your grand lake for the 2020 forward

[13:53] For the cross truck, we get it related signing

[13:56] The payment authority in city manager is this me

[14:01] We sent out solicitations to five different lending institutions

[14:10] And you can see that order of where

[14:13] The rates came in and everything

[14:16] Bank of grand lake

[14:19] Had a bid that was $240 less than the next closest bid

[14:23] Which is for national bank

[14:26] And we recommend setting up lease contract

[14:29] A bank or grant like for this truck

[14:40] All right, these trucks

[14:42] We've wanted to get all through co-bid it

[14:45] I know there's been a course where buy lot

[14:47] We want lots vehicles

[14:49] From one on top

[14:50] And when I see they've been just pushed back further and

[14:55] On many occasions

[14:57] In some cases there are new vehicles

[15:00] That their purchase now that

[15:03] They didn't backward

[15:10] What i recognize though is the city

[15:13] Well run

[15:15] The trucks or cars

[15:17] Everything down to really

[15:19] There's not much value to them at all

[15:23] So you know, we're watching

[15:24] The other families for sure

[15:29] I'm like emotional proof

[15:33] Second

[15:40] 8 or at least births a ceramic queue 24 to 10

[15:42] To bank grant light

[15:44] For 2024 F254 pickup truck

[15:46] Street department give related signing

[15:48] Payment authority the city manager is this me

[15:54] This particular one we sent out these solicitations both the same time

[15:58] And pretty much all

[15:59] And everything except dollar amounts changed a little

[16:03] Bank of grandlight came in at $360

[16:06] In 1969 since less than first national bike

[16:10] The next close is better

[16:13] We recommend sitting up the least contract on this

[16:16] Motion to approve

[16:25] Second

[16:27] Second

[16:29] Second

[16:31] Thank you

[16:32] 9 mayors and all the nations

[16:35] To read a point call staffer to their board authority board

[16:38] Mays by our 222-2127

[16:41] Most approve

[16:44] Second

[16:49] Many wits of residents in this agenda

[16:55] 11 staff report

[17:01] 12 mayor council community

[17:20] I got few things

[17:24] One we gotta decision back from park

[17:26] This is first council meeting

[17:27] The state station we had since

[17:30] That decision came down as a favor of the

[17:32] Decision for us and city myon

[17:34] Our citizens are ready to headline

[17:36] Of an article after decades

[17:38] Frequent flooding in myon

[17:40] Another north east Oklahoma town so long

[17:42] And yellow show river

[17:44] A federal regulatory agency has determined

[17:46] Grand River Dam authority is responsible

[17:50] Now JRDA has been ordered to purchase frequently flooded lands

[17:53] Of the land of a train for grand late

[18:00] For decades they flooded this

[18:02] I know back in 1995

[18:04] First i'm offloaded Christy

[18:06] I think she also got flooded at same time

[18:09] So it's been 86

[18:11] Eight Bob was mine

[18:13] That is what our school year plans

[18:16] But going all along

[18:18] This fight has been gone on

[18:21] For many of us for a few years

[18:27] Getting this win was pretty big

[18:30] Where it leads to

[18:32] We're not 100% sure yet

[18:35] Be had some ideas on timeframes

[18:39] But we know there's more than one other if i saw that over

[18:42] Whatever

[18:44] We've loaded off and have decided stuff

[18:47] And decide whether the sky is

[18:50] Sometimes you like

[18:52] I don't know for

[18:54] We don´t just the right thing to do

[18:56] But we're doing it

[18:58] And this proves that

[19:00] This proved

[19:02] That matters before me, city managers

[19:04] Before

[19:06] Bow, councils

[19:08] Before all of us

[19:10] Before i'll use them

[19:12] To keep fighting

[19:17] Because those are

[19:18] Finally, seize the evidence

[19:21] It makes a right determination

[19:23] I know my mom is not good health

[19:26] Right now she's in hospital

[19:28] But i got to tell her today that we finally

[19:32] Got this win and her response was

[19:34] About time somebody held those SOBs account

[19:39] That attitude from people who've been flooded over

[19:44] And so it was a good decision for us

[19:48] Again, where leads we're not positive yet

[19:50] But they can't be any worse

[19:52] One of the key things that I said in

[19:55] That GRDA had been

[19:58] Violation

[20:01] Of their current license

[20:03] For last 26 years

[20:07] It tells me big story

[20:10] There are new licenses

[20:13] Hopefully have restrictions

[20:17] About the coal in there

[20:20] Wow, what a show

[20:22] Damning his team pulled off

[20:24] There was a sell up crowd

[20:26] On of you guys see pictures

[20:28] But look pretty cool and see

[20:31] The common fold about me as full

[20:34] Parking lots outside

[20:36] Or pack with cars

[20:39] Good job to damning this team

[20:42] All volunteers

[21:19] And I accepted that

[21:24] A ward

[21:26] That was supposed to be an individual

[21:28] It's not a visual work

[21:30] i can do it without all of you

[21:32] The city staff, council

[21:34] That is your award

[21:36] Parking team

[21:38] As the end

[21:41] I've never really been good at anything

[21:44] But as a teammate

[21:45] You're being recognized for what's going on in the community

[21:48] So it was a team award

[21:50] Thank you all

[21:52] See you tomorrow, communications

[21:55] I don't really have anything

[21:57] Like i've been somewhat employed

[21:59] Last couple weeks has had been battling

[22:03] The COVID

[22:05] Through to be back

[22:07] That is something along with the flu

[22:10] Around this city

[22:12] It could just be very disruptive

[22:14] Thanks to everybody here

[22:16] That kept everything going as I do

[22:19] Kimbe is amazing

[22:21] As always, and we were in constant contact

[22:24] We were able a lot of things remotely

[22:26] So i didn't feel like im too far behind the egg bone

[22:29] When it came into date

[22:34] But you're glad that he got up

[22:39] This meeting will be continued from council chambers
