1
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:45,720
Obviously not responding to the school's own 20-mile-hour posted speed limit. This happens

2
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:52,540
every day. I was tad angry last Wednesday or Thursday when a silver jeep four-door unlimited

3
00:06:52,540 --> 00:07:00,460
was going through our school's own at speeds right around 50 miles an hour. We have the

4
00:07:00,460 --> 00:07:04,440
building across the street. You probably knew it as a whole meat market. Those of you

5
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:08,180
they've been around a couple years is super sports. That's our middle school

6
00:07:08,180 --> 00:07:15,820
building. We are in the process of purchasing 1315 North Grady, the Jackie

7
00:07:15,820 --> 00:07:20,420
Whitty building, gyms, etc. When that all takes place we're going to have not

8
00:07:20,420 --> 00:07:26,060
just 20 to 25 crossing the street many times a day but we're going to have 50

9
00:07:26,060 --> 00:07:31,800
to 60. It's our campus is growing, our student body is growing, but we think

10
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:38,700
this is a very, very significant concern. So here's our proposal. I've been in communication

11
00:07:38,700 --> 00:07:44,500
with Ron Howard, engineer on the Alps Air Force Base. He also designs roads and helps

12
00:07:44,500 --> 00:07:50,160
control the speeds of those roads. He has suggested that we do something called a speed

13
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:57,860
hump, not a speed bump. It's like a crosswalk, and there are distances that pretty well

14
00:07:57,860 --> 00:08:03,200
guarantee a reduction of speed in the distance that we would implement there at ACA would

15
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:08,700
be about 100 to 120 feet that would slow traffic down to 15 to 20 miles an hour.

16
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:14,600
In addition to that, we would like to see flashing signs somewhat similar to what you

17
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:19,480
see in Blair when you go in their school zone that automatically change the speed

18
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:27,040
limit on a digital sign during school hours, also ask travelers to slow down if they're

19
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:31,520
exceeding the posted speed limit, and then they can also be equipped with push buttons

20
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:37,360
for our students to safely cross. We think that would be an economical and a feasible

21
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:43,120
way to accomplish what we were trying to do all along. Then ACA will take on the responsibility

22
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:48,840
of signage, barricades, different things we need on campus property to secure and

23
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:54,300
provide safe crossings between our building and our gymnasium over to the playground.

24
00:08:54,300 --> 00:08:56,360
That actually has become an issue too.

25
00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:00,700
We are amazed to see traffic pass through that area.

26
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:05,080
If you look on the back of your sheet, you can see a picture.

27
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,460
The top one was taken some time ago.

28
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:09,700
You see water in the reservoir.

29
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:11,960
The bottom one was taken this morning.

30
00:09:13,300 --> 00:09:17,900
But on our campus, the passage back there between our main building

31
00:09:17,900 --> 00:09:21,640
and our gymnasium playground, we had traffic through there.

32
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:29,680
We set up traffic cones, we have literally watch cars stop, get out, move the traffic cones and proceed through.

33
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,220
So we're going to take a more proactive approach there.

34
00:09:33,780 --> 00:09:41,460
But we think that all of this will accomplish what we want to do and make our campus safe.

35
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:48,740
We just want to avoid accidents, potential tragedies, and we believe that working with you, we can accomplish all of that.

36
00:09:48,740 --> 00:09:51,800
So I wanted to give just a moment or two for questions.

37
00:09:52,220 --> 00:09:56,760
Some of you may not be that familiar with this part of town or the streets that are around here,

38
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:02,200
and maybe clarify some things that we're asking you to do.

39
00:10:03,940 --> 00:10:07,540
How far down on Grady or you wanted to put the speed bumps?

40
00:10:07,860 --> 00:10:14,900
Well, if on the top picture you can barely see the ends of the building at the very bottom of that picture,

41
00:10:16,620 --> 00:10:19,960
that would be where the crosswalks would be.

42
00:10:20,420 --> 00:10:22,360
So we had originally considered three

43
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,620
and maybe it even says that in this,

44
00:10:25,060 --> 00:10:27,720
but after talking or actually emailing

45
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:29,700
Ron Howard back and forth today,

46
00:10:30,540 --> 00:10:34,680
the optimal distance between those two speed humps

47
00:10:34,680 --> 00:10:36,520
would be about 100 to 120 feet.

48
00:10:36,680 --> 00:10:38,160
So we would really only need two.

49
00:10:38,940 --> 00:10:41,440
We also then would request two signs.

50
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:48,580
The sign would be further south on Grady toward the south end of that street,

51
00:10:48,660 --> 00:10:51,560
so it catches the attention of people before they get to the campus.

52
00:10:52,180 --> 00:10:58,880
The other one would have to just be located at a practical place as far north as would work

53
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,780
as people turn off of Bradford onto Grady.

54
00:11:04,580 --> 00:11:09,300
So two of those two signs we think that we would accomplish what we want to do.

55
00:11:09,300 --> 00:11:10,240
So

56
00:11:12,990 --> 00:11:23,010
you're wanting the city to provide the signs for the grading and the speed

57
00:11:23,010 --> 00:11:27,610
months on grading, that's what we want. We would ask you to do that. We'll take

58
00:11:27,610 --> 00:11:35,150
care of the other requirements that are on campus property. And we did some

59
00:11:35,150 --> 00:11:40,390
investigating on the signs. You know what that would cost us? So if you do,

60
00:11:40,390 --> 00:11:48,510
It depends on how you install them, but without installation and with solar power on both of

61
00:11:48,510 --> 00:11:55,170
the signs, they're going to come in around $10,000 apiece for having all of that.

62
00:11:56,490 --> 00:12:01,830
There was some discussion about some of those up in Blair that was running significantly

63
00:12:01,830 --> 00:12:05,870
higher than that, but after we looked at the reputable companies that provide these

64
00:12:05,870 --> 00:12:11,630
for many other communities, that's about the cost each of those digital signs that switch

65
00:12:11,630 --> 00:12:18,510
the speed with the school, all of that, have the radar on them, and then can allow students

66
00:12:18,510 --> 00:12:19,910
to cross if they press the button.

67
00:12:20,930 --> 00:12:24,550
Would the sign be located south of the school?

68
00:12:25,070 --> 00:12:27,930
Well it would need to be south side, or are we going to have more than one?

69
00:12:28,270 --> 00:12:31,850
So we would have one for northbound traffic, one for southbound traffic.

70
00:12:31,850 --> 00:12:37,670
The one for the northbound traffic as they come south off of Falcon would need to be located.

71
00:12:38,690 --> 00:12:41,850
Your street commissioner is going to know a lot more about that than I do,

72
00:12:41,930 --> 00:12:45,030
but it's going to need to be located at a distance far enough south

73
00:12:45,030 --> 00:12:49,510
that it would get the attention of the drivers before they enter the campus.

74
00:12:50,290 --> 00:12:56,110
The one on the southbound traffic turning north off or turning south off of Bradford,

75
00:12:56,430 --> 00:12:59,530
wherever it can be located as soon as they make that turn.

76
00:12:59,530 --> 00:12:59,710
And

77
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,140
we've got a couple of different quotes back today.

78
00:13:09,660 --> 00:13:12,520
The original quotes from TACCO, which

79
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,340
is a reputable national company that

80
00:13:14,340 --> 00:13:16,460
has a contract with the state here in Oklahoma

81
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:18,160
to provide some of these.

82
00:13:18,680 --> 00:13:20,220
It was a right at $11,000.

83
00:13:20,780 --> 00:13:23,240
That included both radar signs in both directions.

84
00:13:23,420 --> 00:13:25,320
So it would be one south and one northbound.

85
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,680
And then it also, an additional $8,000

86
00:13:28,680 --> 00:13:31,380
included the push button that actually

87
00:13:31,380 --> 00:13:32,900
went right where the crosswalks were.

88
00:13:32,900 --> 00:13:39,100
So it would light up a similar to different ones. You've seen they've sent quite a bit of literature that we can distribute to you guys as well

89
00:13:39,100 --> 00:13:41,620
So that would actually be about twenty thousand dollars

90
00:13:41,620 --> 00:13:45,980
That would actually get you to radar signs and the thing that they liked about the radar signs

91
00:13:45,980 --> 00:13:51,380
Is it helps capture data and that you can download to save it helps you with the speed data

92
00:13:51,380 --> 00:13:55,240
Like actually how fast people are going through the area. It also helps with traffic count, which would be

93
00:13:57,680 --> 00:14:03,280
Well, the speed bumps, is that something our street department would do?

94
00:14:03,500 --> 00:14:05,460
I mean, is that something we make?

95
00:14:06,260 --> 00:14:07,940
There's two different ways to do that.

96
00:14:08,100 --> 00:14:12,540
So they have pre-made ones you can install or you can, you know, the street department

97
00:14:12,540 --> 00:14:14,180
could produce those themselves.

98
00:14:14,540 --> 00:14:20,400
When I was looking on the DOT website, they had all kinds of diagrams and drawings about

99
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:21,580
Chad's not here.

100
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:23,900
Oh, there you are.

101
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:25,260
What do you think?

102
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,760
Yeah, I think we should build it.

103
00:14:28,140 --> 00:14:30,580
I don't have any information really about the cost.

104
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:31,020
Cost?

105
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:35,300
I don't think the cost would be pretty minimal.

106
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:35,920
Yeah.

107
00:14:36,740 --> 00:14:43,100
But it would be like asphalt built up

108
00:14:43,100 --> 00:14:43,480
probably.

109
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:43,600
But it would be like asphalt built up

110
00:14:44,820 --> 00:14:45,000
Gone.

111
00:14:46,780 --> 00:14:47,240
Okay.

112
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:58,970
okay so to have a long life expectancy then okay did you notice some

113
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:04,480
Strange-looking guy sitting out there Monday morning watching the school.

114
00:15:04,700 --> 00:15:09,720
I didn't think he was that strange, but I did see a guy sitting there in a pickup on the north side.

115
00:15:09,860 --> 00:15:13,120
I noticed you finally noticed, man. I got some dirty looks from some of the money.

116
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:16,020
Well, and, uh...

117
00:15:16,020 --> 00:15:18,480
Chad's the only one that recognized me, though. He looked at us.

118
00:15:18,660 --> 00:15:25,180
Well, good. We've had patrol cars out. We've had patrol cars with flashing lights who were talking to some folks as well.

119
00:15:25,540 --> 00:15:26,780
We appreciate all of that.

120
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:33,720
Here's a simple truth. We're growing. This school started just 14 years ago.

121
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:39,580
We've got 184 students this year. We're out of classroom space. We're going to be doing some more growing.

122
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:46,100
We just moving across Grady is our only option. We're landlocked on the east side.

123
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:53,240
So, you know, Grady is going to be a street that we do a lot of crossing for our special classes,

124
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:58,480
for PE, for any activities in the gym, there's just a lot of foot traffic.

125
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:04,900
And you know, we consider the idea of just crossing guards, but we don't do a lot of

126
00:16:04,900 --> 00:16:07,220
crossing at drop-offs and pick-ups.

127
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:11,340
Our crossing is during the day when we're switching classes and moving about.

128
00:16:11,780 --> 00:16:17,700
So it's just not plausible to use that as a remedy.

129
00:16:18,420 --> 00:16:21,640
So we think if we can slow down the traffic, we think that this will do it.

130
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:25,540
If we can partner on that, I think we can do what we need to do for campus safety.

131
00:16:25,820 --> 00:16:30,700
One of the things I noticed, I was there from 645, and you were the first person to come through that intersection.

132
00:16:31,060 --> 00:16:31,420
Okay.

133
00:16:31,740 --> 00:16:32,140
645.

134
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:42,440
And there were a total, I've got a little study here, I passed out to the council, and a total of 217 automobiles

135
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:48,260
passed through the Bradford Grady intersection between 645 and 830.

136
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:56,060
15 were bypassed. They just went down Bradford and went to Falcon or came from Falcon to Brady.

137
00:16:56,340 --> 00:17:02,780
I mean to Bradford. And then 17 actually went down Spurge and went down behind the campus.

138
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,440
11 went to the water plant. 8 were local businesses.

139
00:17:08,500 --> 00:17:16,000
And then between 730 and 8 that was the biggest zoo that I have ever seen.

140
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:23,060
and this is going to bring up the comment about our grade schools, elementary

141
00:17:23,060 --> 00:17:27,940
schools. Almost all of them have some type of one-way traffic during school

142
00:17:27,940 --> 00:17:33,160
hours. Right. And that probably was going to be something to help you guys out. I

143
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:38,100
saw about 40% of the traffic came in from Falcon and dropped students off. So

144
00:17:38,100 --> 00:17:42,380
they pulled up, dropped them off out of the right side of the car, and you and

145
00:17:42,380 --> 00:17:43,900
your staff were there to take them in.

146
00:17:45,020 --> 00:17:46,760
And then the others came in from Maine

147
00:17:47,340 --> 00:17:49,680
or came in from the east side.

148
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:50,600
They came down to Spurgeon.

149
00:17:51,340 --> 00:17:53,000
And there was a lot of U-turning on Grady.

150
00:17:53,340 --> 00:17:55,140
I mean, a tremendous amount of U-turning.

151
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,660
And it was kind of a spaghetti mix match,

152
00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:59,560
because everybody in that 30-minute section

153
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,660
was trying to get there were 150 cars.

154
00:18:02,500 --> 00:18:05,440
131 of them were people dropping student salt.

155
00:18:06,420 --> 00:18:09,740
So I would also have us consider the potential

156
00:18:09,740 --> 00:18:15,920
of doing like they do at sunset, have one-way traffic during school hours.

157
00:18:16,540 --> 00:18:24,280
The one-way traffic worked well when we had those barricades up, and we, this was a huge

158
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:29,180
change over for all our families, because you see how many come, so we had all of them

159
00:18:29,180 --> 00:18:34,520
enter off of Spurgeon between Goodwill and our gymnasium, come down that concrete drive.

160
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:40,480
They would, our littles, our pre-care's and Kimmergarteners get dropped off between our

161
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:45,560
gym and our main building and then the rest of them come over and drop off either on the

162
00:18:46,140 --> 00:18:50,820
west side of Grady for our middle school or on the east side of Grady for grade school

163
00:18:50,820 --> 00:18:51,200
students.

164
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,160
So that works really well.

165
00:18:55,200 --> 00:19:04,500
But the one-way traffic created some problems for the businesses and for how people were

166
00:19:04,500 --> 00:19:06,040
were coming through that area.

167
00:19:06,900 --> 00:19:08,980
And actually it was very inconvenient for us

168
00:19:08,980 --> 00:19:11,620
because our folks, our teachers, our administrators

169
00:19:11,620 --> 00:19:15,500
are used to coming either direction to gain parking spots.

170
00:19:15,980 --> 00:19:17,800
That will even become more of an issue

171
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,920
when we have those additional parking spots across the street.

172
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:22,480
So...

173
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,560
Well, perhaps you all can educate the parents.

174
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,780
Well, the parents responded phenomenally.

175
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:29,840
I sent out an email on one day,

176
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:31,940
the next day we started the new traffic pattern

177
00:19:31,940 --> 00:19:34,520
and they did exceptional.

178
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:36,380
And it was an inconvenience for our parents

179
00:19:36,380 --> 00:19:39,680
because as you saw how the traffic pattern worked before,

180
00:19:40,460 --> 00:19:42,140
there was a flow from many directions.

181
00:19:42,420 --> 00:19:44,600
When we started the one way thing,

182
00:19:44,820 --> 00:19:48,180
everybody came off of Spurgeon through that area.

183
00:19:48,700 --> 00:19:51,600
We did have two lanes of traffic on Grady,

184
00:19:52,180 --> 00:19:54,620
but it was a significant changeover.

185
00:19:55,060 --> 00:19:58,980
And the comments that I heard from our folks were,

186
00:19:59,660 --> 00:20:01,140
yeah, this is taking a little more time

187
00:20:01,140 --> 00:20:06,320
to drop our kids off, but I had more than one say, I finally feel like our campus is

188
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:06,560
safe.

189
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:13,120
Well it was amazing that 30 minute segment in there that was out of the 217 audible bills

190
00:20:13,120 --> 00:20:16,460
went through the intersection, went through in that 30 minute period, and then after that

191
00:20:16,940 --> 00:20:17,500
it died.

192
00:20:18,140 --> 00:20:19,080
I mean it just went to nothing.

193
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:25,640
It picks back up around 10 when the other businesses start opening up and then there's

194
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:29,280
a lot of traffic there close to the noon hour with the restaurant across the street.

195
00:20:30,020 --> 00:20:35,420
So there's throughout the rest of the day there's never really a time where it's

196
00:20:35,420 --> 00:20:40,560
just congested traffic but it's steady traffic all day long. I would suggest

197
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:44,740
that the police chief and our street commissioner get together and propose a

198
00:20:44,740 --> 00:20:50,380
plan for us. Well I'll leave this one with them. Good. I think it's a it's a

199
00:20:50,380 --> 00:20:55,760
good one and if you know I'll speak out of turn I'll get in trouble for

200
00:20:55,760 --> 00:21:00,360
this, but we would do whatever it takes as a stool to help make this happen.

201
00:21:00,620 --> 00:21:04,720
Yeah, the safety of the children as I visited with the chief earlier when the

202
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,980
barricades went up and I started getting complaints about the barricades and

203
00:21:07,980 --> 00:21:11,940
that's in my ward so I right I hadn't no idea they had done that I drove down

204
00:21:11,940 --> 00:21:15,900
there to go to lunch and like everybody else drove through the parking lot to

205
00:21:15,900 --> 00:21:19,280
get around the barricades. Right. And then when we left the restaurant we

206
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:23,840
couldn't go back to Bradford so we drove through the AT&T parking lot.

207
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:25,880
right so we don't want that to happen

208
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:27,900
so we're just shuffling our problem

209
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:32,560
I would say educate your parents because that 8 30 I mean at 7 30 to 8

210
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:36,780
it was a zoo people you turning and I thought well

211
00:21:37,980 --> 00:21:40,460
uh they apparently everybody had done it before

212
00:21:40,980 --> 00:21:44,820
right but I was a little bit afraid that it was a bit of an unsafe time period

213
00:21:44,820 --> 00:21:47,700
so I'll be educating the parents also and we'll come up with a plan

214
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:52,340
and uh and cash it out she see what the money is going to be

215
00:21:53,220 --> 00:21:56,440
and we've got to protect the children and the fact that you guys now have

216
00:21:56,440 --> 00:22:02,020
expanded across Grady that's going to be an issue. Yes it is yes and we

217
00:22:02,020 --> 00:22:06,320
appreciate you recognizing it and no two or three things. Number one we want to

218
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,900
be good neighbors. We want to be good neighbors to the people around us. We

219
00:22:08,900 --> 00:22:14,060
realize we're unique in our location so we're going to do that. Number two

220
00:22:14,060 --> 00:22:17,860
we are partnering with you to resolve this. We don't expect you to sit back

221
00:22:17,860 --> 00:22:21,620
and watch you do it. We want to be involved as well. However you feel

222
00:22:21,620 --> 00:22:26,920
that would happen. And number three it's how I concluded the letter. Everything we

223
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:31,640
want to do will be for the reason of glorifying God and I state that

224
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:35,860
unapologetic. Protect those children. Yes. But do we need to take action tonight

225
00:22:35,860 --> 00:22:42,800
and allow staff to continue the project costs and they need to go forward with

226
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:50,520
cost. Do we need to take action and vote on that? Or do we just

227
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:51,360
continue moving?

228
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:55,580
We would need to make a motion and we would be more involved. I

229
00:22:55,580 --> 00:23:01,900
think we should have Gary involved. And they are elected

230
00:23:01,900 --> 00:23:04,660
officials. So we just have to ask them if they're willing. I

231
00:23:04,660 --> 00:23:08,840
mean, we can't order them. I'll be glad to ask them if you'd

232
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:13,520
like for me too. They like me a lot. I think they would be cooperative. I think they'd

233
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,940
work hard. I have a question. But I think we need some

234
00:23:18,580 --> 00:23:22,080
representation from the council. Gary would be good for you.

235
00:23:22,360 --> 00:23:27,360
The police chief and the street commissioner and I have all talked about this. What we

236
00:23:27,360 --> 00:23:31,300
talked about was the fact that what was originally proposed was a temporary solution

237
00:23:31,300 --> 00:23:35,340
to the problem. We knew that a permanent solution would need to be brought to council.

238
00:23:35,340 --> 00:23:44,980
And with the issues we thought well now's the time to go ahead and do it instead of that because the street commissioner and the police chief had the authority to do it on a temporary basis.

239
00:23:45,780 --> 00:23:55,700
I think there's no problem. I have no problem with Chad and the police chief and taking into consideration what the school has recommended and coming back with the recommendation to council.

240
00:23:56,820 --> 00:24:01,620
I have a quick question. I'm not familiar. Are y'all a private school?

241
00:24:01,620 --> 00:24:08,260
We are yes, we're private school credited and been in business for almost 15 years. So our

242
00:24:09,820 --> 00:24:17,140
Is it attached to the Alters public schools? No, we we cooperate with Alters public schools, but we're not we're not affiliated

243
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:21,760
In any way, and so it's interesting that you brought up that point

244
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:28,300
So we've got a lot of great tax-paying families there who don't take your money for our school

245
00:24:28,300 --> 00:24:35,240
there you go. I want to just make sure are we legally covered as the city if we

246
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:49,020
were to fund this or... well it's your street now if you talk to the city I think the city has the ability to manage for streets and traffic and the police chief who makes decisions about the streets

247
00:24:49,020 --> 00:24:53,220
and that's something that, you know, it is appropriate to be taken.

248
00:24:55,340 --> 00:25:01,620
Yeah, I think we would, we put, we put street sign, or speed signs up, say over by Lincoln, for example.

249
00:25:02,180 --> 00:25:08,040
Absolutely, we would treat that out of description again, just as we would out of public schools,

250
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:18,760
and if we work together to install signs, schools on the signs, then we get it out of public schools.

251
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:26,680
Well, the issue came up with the hammer approach of putting barricades up across a public street

252
00:25:27,180 --> 00:25:30,160
to benefit a private business, although it was a school.

253
00:25:30,780 --> 00:25:35,660
But it impacted businesses, there are 12 businesses on that street, and it was impacting them.

254
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:40,540
So there I think we might have had an issue with a legal issue.

255
00:25:40,860 --> 00:25:44,740
But the fact that we're going to provide safety, these are students that are citizens

256
00:25:44,740 --> 00:25:46,080
of Altus.

257
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:50,620
that they're in a private school, they are citizens of Alta, so we're going to protect

258
00:26:20,940 --> 00:26:26,160
project. We just keep moving forward and gathering information and costs. We need a

259
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:27,600
complete plan with money.

260
00:26:50,940 --> 00:26:53,720
is almost as an emergency, we have to do something.

261
00:26:54,360 --> 00:26:57,460
So we do have the ability to do something temporarily.

262
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,040
Anything we do like that has to be counsel action.

263
00:27:00,180 --> 00:27:01,780
So we knew it had to be counsel action.

264
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,740
But we had to stop it before somebody was killed.

265
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,640
So kids are crossing this all the time

266
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:08,920
and staring today there, right?

267
00:27:09,120 --> 00:27:09,840
Oh, yes, they are.

268
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:10,180
OK.

269
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,160
Yeah, the best way to understand it

270
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:14,900
is these are middle school students who

271
00:27:14,900 --> 00:27:17,140
get their academics on that side of the street.

272
00:27:17,140 --> 00:27:24,380
They come across for things like PE, a lot of activities we have in our gymnasium library.

273
00:27:25,180 --> 00:27:27,640
So they're crossing that street on a daily basis.

274
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,340
It may be two or three at a time or maybe 20 at a time.

275
00:27:30,860 --> 00:27:33,360
Have you ever thought about hiring a security guard?

276
00:27:34,360 --> 00:27:36,300
Well, we've talked about security on campus.

277
00:27:36,660 --> 00:27:39,840
We don't have problems with security inside of our buildings.

278
00:27:40,140 --> 00:27:41,000
But I'm talking about...

279
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,160
So they would have to be external security.

280
00:27:43,360 --> 00:27:46,020
We just don't have enough roadways.

281
00:27:46,020 --> 00:27:51,100
I mean you could have somebody sit there and drink a cup of coffee until it was time for these kids to cross

282
00:27:51,100 --> 00:27:57,460
Yeah, so and and we we make sure we've got our PE teacher walks the kids

283
00:27:58,020 --> 00:28:03,540
To the door walks the next group over so we're having supervision at most time

284
00:28:03,540 --> 00:28:10,080
But these are old kids we they're gonna cross sometimes on their own and really there would be no problem

285
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:15,440
if the traffic obeyed the law it is an issue of

286
00:28:16,820 --> 00:28:19,740
speed and how fast these cars are driving down the street.

287
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:23,880
That's why we believe that these speed humps that the signs would result that.

288
00:28:24,020 --> 00:28:27,000
You mean people break the law? Isn't that amazing?

289
00:28:28,580 --> 00:28:32,700
Yeah. Well, I don't want to get your chief

290
00:28:32,700 --> 00:28:36,160
police in trouble, but while we were standing there that day for 15, 20

291
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:40,060
minutes, he said, that's a ticket. That's a ticket. Appreciate

292
00:28:40,060 --> 00:28:43,900
him knowing when it's a ticket. No, seriously

293
00:28:44,620 --> 00:28:54,560
We appreciate these two guys. We appreciate you. We want to work together. Like you said, we're all citizens and we want this community to be the best it can be. We're here to do whatever we can do to help.

294
00:28:56,620 --> 00:29:06,120
I would move that we assign our city manager, the chief of police and the city commissioner

295
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:12,960
to develop a plan to return to the council for modifying traffic down Grady in front

296
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:18,240
of the ACA with budget requirements and return of the next council meeting.

297
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:19,680
Second.

298
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:23,000
it. You have motion second. Call for vote.

299
00:29:24,660 --> 00:29:26,180
Tyler. Yes,

300
00:29:26,580 --> 00:29:32,340
register. Yes. Jinx. Yes. Walmart. Yes. Osterhouse. Yes. Is

301
00:29:32,340 --> 00:29:37,560
L. Yes. Brady Lee. Yes. Blackman. Yes. Garrison. Yes. Move

302
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,160
down to number seven. Consideration discussion possible

303
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:45,040
actions adopt resolution 2021 dash 15, approving amendments

304
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:48,220
to the downtown artist redevelopment trust authority. As

305
00:29:48,220 --> 00:29:50,040
As I step out, thank you to each of you.

306
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:50,540
Thank you.

307
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:07,920
Good evening, everyone. As y'all are aware, the downtown Altus Trust Authority has come

308
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:14,660
alive again recently, and the trustees have met and wanted to make some changes that would,

309
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:21,660
number one, change the name to reflect that it would encompass all of Altus and provide

310
00:30:21,660 --> 00:30:28,080
for growth of all of Altus and also to change some definitions. So the trustees met last

311
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:35,040
last week and agreed on an amendment to the trust indenture which would change the name

312
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:39,680
to the Altus Redevelopment Trust Authority and would also change, there was a definition

313
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:46,400
that since the original trust indenture the statute had changed and so the definition

314
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:53,160
was changed to reflect the statute which is reflected there and then also that the

315
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:59,100
the purpose of the trust would be amended to include all areas within the city limits

316
00:30:59,100 --> 00:31:02,040
of Altas and not just be limited to the downtown area.

317
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:10,640
So that was agreed upon unanimously and now the ARDA trustees would ask that the city

318
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:15,640
council adopt the resolution 2021, which reflects the changes to the trust and venture.

319
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:16,340

00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:23,460

321
00:31:28,790 --> 00:31:29,350

330
00:31:38,950 --> 00:31:39,250

Move to item number eight.

342

Consideration, discussion, and possible action to weigh the reading of the entire ordinance

343
00:31:52,590 --> 00:31:56,570
and authorize reading the title only ordinance number 2021-11.

344
00:31:57,310 --> 00:31:58,110
I'll make that motion.

345
00:31:58,950 --> 00:31:59,590

352
00:32:06,650 --> 00:32:07,150
Jinx?

353
00:32:07,270 --> 00:32:07,490
Yes.

354
00:32:07,890 --> 00:32:08,270
Vizel?

355
00:32:08,490 --> 00:32:08,730
Yes.

356
00:32:09,130 --> 00:32:09,670
Brady Lee?

357
00:32:09,870 --> 00:32:10,130
Yes.

358
00:32:10,570 --> 00:32:10,930
Rester?

359
00:32:11,250 --> 00:32:11,530

360
00:32:11,870 --> 00:32:12,150
Beiler?

361
00:32:12,710 --> 00:32:13,350
Yes.

362
00:32:13,830 --> 00:32:14,230
Blackman?

363
00:32:14,470 --> 00:32:14,750

364
00:32:15,150 --> 00:32:15,530
Garrison?

365
00:32:15,870 --> 00:32:16,150
Yes.

366
00:32:16,670 --> 00:32:22,190
Item number nine, consideration, discussion, possible action to adopt ordinance 2021-11, an ordinance

367
00:32:22,190 --> 00:32:27,710
of the city of Altus, Oklahoma, resigning certain property from AR Auto Urban Residential

368
00:32:27,710 --> 00:32:33,670
to SC suburban commercial providing for repealer, savings clause, severability and publication.

369
00:32:34,110 --> 00:32:37,390
The property is located at 1309 East Bridge Press Road.

370
00:32:38,210 --> 00:32:40,150
Good evening, Mayor City Council.

371
00:32:40,850 --> 00:32:47,390
The Planning Commission took this up at their September 13th meeting and approved

372
00:32:47,390 --> 00:32:50,830
the recommendation to council for the rezoning of this property.

373
00:32:50,830 --> 00:32:56,990
Just to be clear, it's a residential lot that's being zoned to a commercial lot,

374
00:32:57,430 --> 00:33:01,750
but suburban commercial is the appropriate district for this use.

375
00:33:02,630 --> 00:33:06,910
And real quickly, this district is a neighborhood oriented commercial district

376
00:33:06,910 --> 00:33:10,160
where the uses are expected to serve the immediate neighborhood

377
00:33:10,370 --> 00:33:14,210
rather than multiple neighborhoods or the entire city.

378
00:33:14,930 --> 00:33:19,210
The planning commission felt that this was an appropriate application for this district

379
00:33:19,210 --> 00:33:21,190
and staff recommends approval.

380
00:33:22,450 --> 00:33:26,030
Do you know what the potential use is gonna be for this property?

381
00:33:26,030 --> 00:33:29,410
Yes, yes, it's gonna be a salon, a beauty shop.

382
00:33:29,990 --> 00:33:31,430
The owners are present here tonight

383
00:33:31,430 --> 00:33:33,130
if anybody has any specific questions.

384
00:33:33,230 --> 00:33:34,990
No, I was just kind of questioning it

385
00:33:34,990 --> 00:33:37,650
because if you look at the zoning code,

386
00:33:38,410 --> 00:33:39,530
what they're going to,

387
00:33:41,250 --> 00:33:43,350
they can build single homes on it now,

388
00:33:44,430 --> 00:33:45,810
occupy single homes,

389
00:33:46,090 --> 00:33:48,210
which they couldn't do under the commercial code,

390
00:33:48,210 --> 00:33:56,350
under the UR code. Places of assembly. You build colleges, Chad. You can build a college

391
00:33:56,350 --> 00:34:03,410
out there. And they can have a bed and breakfast. They can have commercial lodging, retail commercial.

392
00:34:03,730 --> 00:34:04,510
No, that's not right.

393
00:34:04,850 --> 00:34:06,410
Well, that's what SC says on the code.

394
00:34:06,550 --> 00:34:08,330
Oh, you're talking about when we rezone it.

395
00:34:08,330 --> 00:34:09,190
Yeah, when you rezone it.

396
00:34:09,250 --> 00:34:09,310
I'm sorry.

397
00:34:09,310 --> 00:34:15,250
Yeah. So I was just kind of interested. So apparently they could do a lot more

398
00:34:15,250 --> 00:34:19,950
like residential under his seat and they can under the use of it so I was just

399
00:34:19,950 --> 00:34:26,430
interested in and I mean yes and I think a comparable comparison would be from

400
00:34:26,430 --> 00:34:31,670
suburban commercial to auto urban commercial those who are most like the

401
00:34:31,670 --> 00:34:36,490
suburban designation actually is designed for types of commercial

402
00:34:36,490 --> 00:34:40,550
businesses that would integrate into neighborhoods yeah I was just interested

403
00:34:40,550 --> 00:34:50,170
Thank you. Good question. Did we get any anybody else from that area coming to the meeting that you guys held about it? We did not. Okay.

404
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:55,320
Motion to prove second.

405
00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:10,180
You have a motion to second. Call for a vote. Blackman. Yes. Yes. Brady Lee. Yes. He's ill. Yes. Osterhouse. Yes. Walmart. Yes. Jinx. Yes.

406
00:35:10,180 --> 00:35:10,940
Yes.

407
00:35:10,940 --> 00:35:11,200
Rester?

408
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:11,620
Yes.

409
00:35:11,980 --> 00:35:12,380
Biler?

410
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:13,380
Yes.

411
00:35:13,580 --> 00:35:14,020
Garrison?

412
00:35:14,540 --> 00:35:14,960
Yes.

413
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:18,980
Out of number 10, consideration discussed partial action regarding closure of the Veterans

414
00:35:18,980 --> 00:35:21,000
Dive Ramp entering Altus Air Force Base.

415
00:35:22,180 --> 00:35:22,420
Gary?

416
00:35:23,720 --> 00:35:26,340
Yes, this is a request we received from the Air Base.

417
00:35:26,540 --> 00:35:31,960
They had done a traffic study and any report it talks about the fact that they have

418
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:37,900
people that inadvertently find themselves going into the Air Base and by coming from

419
00:35:37,900 --> 00:35:43,020
the south ramp heading north once they make that turn there's no way to turn

420
00:35:43,020 --> 00:35:48,140
around until it gets the base and so they've made that recommendation. One

421
00:35:48,140 --> 00:35:54,340
thing also is that they have a design for a complete new main gate complex and

422
00:35:54,980 --> 00:35:59,280
in that design it does not include the ramp it would actually eliminate the

423
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:05,060
ramp as well so we would bring it to council have them aware of it and see

424
00:36:05,060 --> 00:36:09,960
with the world council is. Is there anybody here can discuss the the

425
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:11,040
plaits that submitted?

426
00:36:13,180 --> 00:36:17,180
Anybody from the base? I talked to the base yesterday and

427
00:36:17,180 --> 00:36:21,340
they had no idea who was going to come here to talk to us. The guy Chuck Bucci

428
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:27,140
who submitted the request he's out all week. Sure. I've spoken with them

429
00:36:27,140 --> 00:36:31,760
about that if any I think I might be able to answer that. Well maybe you can't.

430
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:34,540
Exhibit two. Look at exhibit two.

431
00:36:36,720 --> 00:36:38,900
I don't know who again at Fleming is. They

432
00:36:38,900 --> 00:36:41,360
must be a consulting firm for the Air Force.

433
00:36:45,900 --> 00:36:52,240
You got it? Yes. 106. Yeah, 106.

434
00:36:52,700 --> 00:37:00,980
It's exhibit two. My question is, southbound on veterans, they're going

435
00:37:00,980 --> 00:37:07,740
to eliminate the left turn lane to go to the base on southbound veteran traffic and make

436
00:37:07,740 --> 00:37:19,240
it so that you can only go south across Falcon and right go west on Falcon. So I think someone

437
00:37:19,240 --> 00:37:26,480
has drawn their drawings backwards and I don't know what their thought process was

438
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:30,540
but that was stood out and then why they're eliminating that left-turn lane

439
00:37:30,540 --> 00:37:35,580
off of veteran south which that's the most traffic that goes through there well

440
00:37:35,580 --> 00:37:40,860
now is that a left-turn lane currently yes okay that's what I thought it's there

441
00:37:40,860 --> 00:37:45,320
I was out there removing that one they're talking about removing that as long

442
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:48,840
in along with the curve yeah that doesn't make sense they're moving that

443
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:53,600
that southbound left turn to the other side against the northbound traffic

444
00:37:53,600 --> 00:38:01,640
traffic. If you look on there, on the east side of the road where the northbound traffic

445
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:07,020
is going through. Where it says letter C. B and C. Is that where you're talking? On

446
00:38:07,020 --> 00:38:12,100
B. On B. Yup, that's southbound traffic. No, that's B is northbound traffic. That's

447
00:38:12,100 --> 00:38:16,940
northbound traffic. They're wanting to put a southbound lane right there. They're

448
00:38:16,940 --> 00:38:21,080
wanting to put a southbound lane right there. They're wanting to put a southbound

449
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:26,240
lane against the northbound traffic. That doesn't make sense. They're trying to

450
00:38:26,240 --> 00:38:31,080
eliminate them going through both lights. So they're going to take a two-lane

451
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:35,660
street and make it a three-lane street from a four-lane and do a little

452
00:38:35,660 --> 00:38:40,360
south on north. And do a lane with the curve. Okay. Is that what they meant by

453
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:45,300
the they were going to provide a reversible lane and morning peak

454
00:38:45,300 --> 00:38:50,780
period? No, that's going on two-base. So you know how you have the

455
00:38:50,780 --> 00:38:52,760
two lanes going on base and the two lanes coming off.

456
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:53,880
Yeah.

457
00:38:54,220 --> 00:38:56,540
So they're going to make one of the lanes

458
00:38:56,540 --> 00:38:58,920
coming off base during peak warning hours

459
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:02,460
as a lane that can be accessed to inbound the base.

460
00:39:02,720 --> 00:39:04,340
That sounds awfully confusing.

461
00:39:04,620 --> 00:39:05,940
And I don't see how it's going to work.

462
00:39:07,820 --> 00:39:09,460
The thing with the ramp, which

463
00:39:09,460 --> 00:39:10,500
is what we're talking about tonight,

464
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:14,060
the justification is not for the gate remodel.

465
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:17,380
The justification is for 150 visitors,

466
00:39:17,720 --> 00:39:19,820
unintentional visitors, which makes up.

467
00:39:19,820 --> 00:39:20,700
One of those, by the way.

468
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:25,100
Running the numbers, using their justification

469
00:39:25,100 --> 00:39:28,240
on their staff report, they have 150 a day.

470
00:39:29,660 --> 00:39:29,980
A day?

471
00:39:30,260 --> 00:39:30,840
They're not a day.

472
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:31,520
Sorry, a year.

473
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:32,140
Sorry, a year.

474
00:39:32,660 --> 00:39:33,280
I know what I meant.

475
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,820
How many do you know how many years that's been going on?

476
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:37,620
No.

477
00:39:38,260 --> 00:39:38,720
But what I did.

478
00:39:38,860 --> 00:39:39,560
Is it constant?

479
00:39:39,980 --> 00:39:40,600
That's what I'm wondering.

480
00:39:41,240 --> 00:39:41,640
Probably.

481
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:44,440
But they issue or they said that they've

482
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:48,920
got about 820 visitors inbound per day, which

483
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,820
which ends up being 299,300 a year,

484
00:39:52,500 --> 00:39:55,540
which that 150 makes up 0.05% of the traffic

485
00:39:55,540 --> 00:39:58,600
and it takes 30 to 45 seconds to turn somebody around.

486
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:02,260
Now, some of those accidental visitors

487
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:05,180
are people that probably shouldn't be driving,

488
00:40:05,500 --> 00:40:06,480
whether that be DUI,

489
00:40:07,060 --> 00:40:08,860
whether that be without a license or registration

490
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:09,980
or insurance.

491
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:12,260
I talked to Chief Murphy today.

492
00:40:13,020 --> 00:40:16,160
They, this past year from January 1 to today

493
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:26,920
have intercepted 92 calls out there so of those 150, 92 of them have been police

494
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:31,900
action by APD so as of right now until we get these roads taken care of this

495
00:40:31,900 --> 00:40:37,940
during this plan that ramp is actually a benefit to the community taking care of

496
00:40:37,940 --> 00:40:39,700
people that shouldn't be driving and

497
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:45,620
then by their own numbers on their on

498
00:40:45,620 --> 00:40:52,900
on their cat. Do we know how many people use that? Yes, I've got on here on page 14 of the

499
00:40:52,900 --> 00:40:55,380
little packet that I gave you guys. They've got a traffic study.

500
00:41:00,340 --> 00:41:02,500
Northbound turning right onto the base

501
00:41:03,740 --> 00:41:09,320
using that ramp. They've got 266 people during peak morning hours.

502
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:15,480
hours. So we're going to add, well I'm sorry, I'm finding the stuff. It's this, it's the

503
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:25,210
upper right one. So during peak morning hours they've got 266 people using that ramp to

504
00:41:25,210 --> 00:41:29,650
get on base. So we're going to add by taking away that ramp until these roads are done,

505
00:41:31,210 --> 00:41:34,190
adding 266 people to the queue at that light.

506
00:41:36,430 --> 00:41:39,050
Isn't that, now you're saying 266, just

507
00:41:39,050 --> 00:41:47,360
just on that ramp alone between 6 and 8 o'clock between 6 and 8 o'clock so

508
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:51,320
that's going to affect not only traffic coming onto base but traffic going

509
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:56,480
through the intersection for the rest of the town and that's not counting the

510
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:59,380
people that are using it as the bypass to get from one end of town to the

511
00:41:59,380 --> 00:41:59,620
other

512
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:06,940
do we have any idea of how many right

513
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:10,480
lane alters

514
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:15,800
the Air Force base signs we have coming up better. Three. Three. There are three. You have

515
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:21,420
one that goes back to the OHP office. I wouldn't let them Saturday. Yeah. Just about the biggest

516
00:42:21,420 --> 00:42:26,380
signs you get to go into cash. There's two very big green ones with yellow things that

517
00:42:26,380 --> 00:42:29,340
says exit only base as you enter the curve.

518
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:34,940
And as we just learned from ACA, it doesn't

519
00:42:34,940 --> 00:42:37,260
matter how many signs you put up, people are going to do what they want to do.

520
00:42:40,060 --> 00:42:40,460
And

521
00:42:41,300 --> 00:42:45,500
Of course, that's what I was wondering, why don't you put a big old sign several of them

522
00:42:45,500 --> 00:42:45,680
out?

523
00:42:45,900 --> 00:42:50,460
I mean, my wife has lost enough on the city with science to say, turn here to Tulsa, okay?

524
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:51,560
It doesn't matter.

525
00:42:51,780 --> 00:42:52,420
You can paint the road.

526
00:42:52,580 --> 00:42:53,440
People are still going to mess it.

527
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:54,520
You've still gone to Barbasville.

528
00:42:54,700 --> 00:43:00,160
A big picture here is you look at that next exhibit also, understand that half that loot

529
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:01,360
isn't even owned by us.

530
00:43:01,940 --> 00:43:02,180
Right.

531
00:43:02,740 --> 00:43:03,360
It's owned by the base.

532
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:04,160
It's owned by the property.

533
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:05,240
Oh, okay.

534
00:43:06,380 --> 00:43:10,620
I'm going to say four against, but the base owns most of that loop.

535
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:11,940
Okay.

536
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:16,100
That was a question too that I had who were, yeah.

537
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:22,700
I don't have any problem with eliminating the loop and adding the left turn lane on C

538
00:43:22,700 --> 00:43:27,980
on our exhibit two and a right turn lane on Veterans northbound.

539
00:43:28,460 --> 00:43:34,860
But I'm a little confused and I don't think we need to get into that southbound and northbound

540
00:43:34,860 --> 00:43:37,840
three lanes and all that. I don't think we need to get into that. I think they

541
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:46,320
solved their problem with the plan C and and eliminate that curve. Well I think

542
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:51,740
probably the better option for the council right now would be to table this

543
00:43:52,720 --> 00:43:56,840
until you can look at Gary's. Gary's got the long-term what's going to end up

544
00:43:56,840 --> 00:44:01,060
happening anyway. Yeah. Maybe get more clarification from all this. It's for

545
00:44:01,060 --> 00:44:06,780
everybody? Well, my question is how much does this cost the city? Yeah, that's the

546
00:44:06,780 --> 00:44:11,380
next question. One thing that the one this study came out and makes all the

547
00:44:11,380 --> 00:44:14,420
recommendations, the only request we've got from the base is to close the ramp.

548
00:44:15,540 --> 00:44:21,020
And one thing we also have been made aware of is where veterans, when you

549
00:44:21,020 --> 00:44:25,800
come down south of the cemetery, it comes back together. There is a loop

550
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:29,860
there where you can go off of one turn back on the other. A lot of the

551
00:44:29,860 --> 00:44:33,920
current traffic right now people are going down and coming back so they can

552
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:39,880
take the ramp so that that adds to the traffic there. Chad and I have gone out

553
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:44,140
and looked at this and what what our thoughts were is that we could put up

554
00:44:44,140 --> 00:44:48,360
barricades to close the ramp and say ramp closed so they have to go do that.

555
00:44:49,260 --> 00:44:53,700
In the event it became a major problem we could go to the base of

556
00:44:53,700 --> 00:44:57,340
this is not working we need to do something different. But you won't

557
00:44:57,340 --> 00:44:59,400
don't have a right turn lane at that stoplight.

558
00:44:59,480 --> 00:44:59,880
That's the problem.

559
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:03,040
We'll have a right turn, we don't have a right turn to lane, but they will turn right

560
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:03,280
at the stoplight.

561
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:04,920
Turn right at the stoplight.

562
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:06,440
But that'll back up traffic at the light.

563
00:45:06,580 --> 00:45:07,000
Big time.

564
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:09,500
Well, 266 back up.

565
00:45:09,540 --> 00:45:13,020
And the situation there is what you'll find is a lot of that is from traffic that goes

566
00:45:13,020 --> 00:45:15,520
south, loops to go on the, so that you don't think, okay.

567
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:15,660
Oh, okay.

568
00:45:15,820 --> 00:45:16,640
Do you understand what he's saying?

569
00:45:16,900 --> 00:45:17,020
Yeah.

570
00:45:17,020 --> 00:45:20,400
Some of the 266 people coming down and going, because they don't want to wait for life,

571
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:24,280
they're coming across, going past the cemetery, doing that little loop and getting on that

572
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:25,460
to try to sneak in on that.

573
00:45:25,700 --> 00:45:26,060
Yeah, it's a more, yeah.

574
00:45:26,060 --> 00:45:27,480
My sister was one of them. I know that.

575
00:45:27,720 --> 00:45:27,840
Yeah.

576
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:29,860
To avoid the extra stoplight.

577
00:45:29,860 --> 00:45:35,800
Yeah, they do that because the traffic's backed up. Yeah, right. Well, and what our thoughts were is number one

578
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:38,940
They made they made the recommendation for November 1st

579
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:45,280
That's why we put on this agenda because we don't have another council meeting before agenda for that time

580
00:45:46,620 --> 00:45:52,880
What we thought was with council's permission we could put that bear those barricades up

581
00:45:53,900 --> 00:45:58,660
With the understanding with the base that if it is a major problem, we could actually remove those

582
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:05,720
to solve the problem and if we wait to study it then we're gonna miss the

583
00:46:05,720 --> 00:46:11,380
deadline that they requested of November 1st. Are y'all aware of the the traffic

584
00:46:11,380 --> 00:46:16,700
make-up that happens when an alarm goes off on base where the traffic will back

585
00:46:16,700 --> 00:46:22,740
up down Falcon pretty much the strikes and if you don't have that curve that

586
00:46:22,740 --> 00:46:26,900
traffic is gonna go from venerance to maintenance. And this could be a 30

587
00:46:26,900 --> 00:46:30,720
meaning alarm this could be an hour alarm depending on what happens on that

588
00:46:30,720 --> 00:46:37,040
base so traffic being backed up there is a problem it's already a problem with

589
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:42,660
the ramp open so closing this ramp I can see well and then we've looked at the

590
00:46:42,660 --> 00:46:48,120
and when you look at who actually owns the property we own about a third of

591
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:51,620
what the ramp is now actually I'm not that much probably about about a tenth

592
00:46:51,620 --> 00:46:55,840
of what the ramp is and then it gets on to their property and so you know

593
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:59,920
Chief what do you think why are they looking for a recommendation if they own that much of it?

594
00:46:59,980 --> 00:47:05,620
They can just make a decision. They want what they need us traffic. Sure deal. Well, they made the request from us

595
00:47:06,620 --> 00:47:10,140
So we've got to work together on it. So it's not my case then we're closing the ramp

596
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:16,620
They they came to us and said we've done the study and the study recommends. We close the ramp to solve this problem

597
00:47:17,660 --> 00:47:18,020
well

598
00:47:19,720 --> 00:47:21,480
Is there a way what they want great?

599
00:47:22,660 --> 00:47:32,920
It's going to create some traffic issues I think until people realize the right turn to

600
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:34,660
go on to the base gate, the main gate.

601
00:47:36,020 --> 00:47:37,880
The bottom line is this is their property.

602
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:44,420
They can do with it however they wish and if it's for future improvements for the

603
00:47:44,420 --> 00:47:48,420
United States Air Force then they have the right to do that because it's their property.

604
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:56,200
We've just been doing something for many decades now, and now we want to see some change.

605
00:47:56,840 --> 00:48:04,480
And it might end up we have to put a right-hand turn lane at that light, an actual turn lane,

606
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:16,300
get people accustomed, and maybe even put in examining at peak times how long those traffic signals will cycle.

607
00:48:16,300 --> 00:48:22,800
we may have to change that up as well you know for the time being if if the

608
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:27,260
council thinks that this and the base thinks that this this project is going

609
00:48:27,260 --> 00:48:34,560
to work I tend to agree with our city manager that that we block this if it

610
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:37,920
doesn't work those barricades can be removed in a matter of just a few

611
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:42,000
hours probably less than that didn't you sir you took them off grady pretty

612
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:50,900
quick, didn't we? I think that we ought to go with the experiment and I think I'll

613
00:48:50,900 --> 00:48:54,940
put a big sign that they're closed by the United States Air Force because they're

614
00:48:54,940 --> 00:48:59,200
going to be calling you. Well they're planning on making future improvements

615
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:02,200
and it's their land they have a right to do that I think in the spirit of

616
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:07,440
cooperation the city of Altus we ought to at least you know extend a hand to

617
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:10,960
that or they are our partners.

618
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:13,300
I would think the base can notify the,

619
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:15,760
I mean, it's their people that's coming on the base.

620
00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:18,540
So like they should certainly be able to notify.

621
00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:18,960
Absolutely.

622
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:22,420
One other issue too is if they're coming down Falcon

623
00:49:23,100 --> 00:49:26,420
and they cross veterans, there is a turnaround

624
00:49:26,420 --> 00:49:28,060
where they actually can turn around

625
00:49:28,060 --> 00:49:30,560
and go back out veteran, back out Falcon.

626
00:49:30,940 --> 00:49:33,960
The problem is the ramp is to the east of there.

627
00:49:34,460 --> 00:49:35,900
So they get there, there is no turnaround.

628
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:42,740
So, but if they come, you know, so there's big signs there that said, you know, only authorized personnel,

629
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:47,680
but they actually can turn them around and send them back out on the Falcon.

630
00:49:48,260 --> 00:49:50,080
You can't hit the ramp if they're using the ramp.

631
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:50,520
Right.

632
00:49:51,240 --> 00:49:53,920
Let me just, if I could just add one more thing here.

633
00:49:55,360 --> 00:50:00,620
The ramp in that property that extends west of the main gate is theirs.

634
00:50:00,780 --> 00:50:02,200
I don't know how far it goes out.

635
00:50:03,620 --> 00:50:09,220
much of it is theirs. They can do with that what they wish for future

636
00:50:09,220 --> 00:50:15,200
improvements or whatever, but I'm not sure, Councilman Fazzel pointed out this,

637
00:50:15,300 --> 00:50:20,240
you know, opposite direction of traffic, southbound making a southbound lane so it

638
00:50:20,240 --> 00:50:24,460
helps with congestion in the northbound traffic. I'm not so sure about that.

639
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:31,140
No. That needs more study. Yes. And why don't, instead of closing the ramp

640
00:50:31,140 --> 00:50:35,820
by the way, working with the base, why don't we open up that right turn only lane as well

641
00:50:35,820 --> 00:50:40,480
as keeping that ramp open until they start their projects on the gate and extending that

642
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:46,320
gate project out so we can acclimate citizenry to taking that right turn only lane without

643
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:47,380
closing that ramp off.

644
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:52,660
Well, if we just put temporary blockades at the ramp, we're going to see what happens.

645
00:50:53,060 --> 00:50:57,560
We can always remove it if that's causing a big problem, can we not?

646
00:50:57,560 --> 00:51:03,880
And will this not satisfy the Air Force for a period of time until November?

647
00:51:04,380 --> 00:51:09,140
Yeah, I think if we did that, and we said we want to do that now, and then if it becomes

648
00:51:09,140 --> 00:51:12,360
a problem, then we need to get with you to come up with an alternate solution.

649
00:51:12,860 --> 00:51:16,900
Why is November the first, such an important date?

650
00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:22,200
They've been looking at this for a while, and that's what their letter said that

651
00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:22,600
they recommend.

652
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:25,820
They asked that we consider this for November the first.

653
00:51:25,820 --> 00:51:30,320
We know about them wanting to do this if they've been doing this for a while.

654
00:51:30,980 --> 00:51:36,460
I read myself and the police chief received an email on September 30th.

655
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:37,980
That's when we received the email.

656
00:51:38,240 --> 00:51:41,500
The date on their plat is March 31st, 2021.

657
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:45,140
Well, the request, evidently they've been looking at for a long time.

658
00:51:45,940 --> 00:51:53,180
But the actual request came to me and I think the police chief got a copy at the same time on September 30th because we looked at them.

659
00:51:53,180 --> 00:52:02,100
This is a schematic of the Newgate configuration and it is such that it would live in, you know,

660
00:52:02,240 --> 00:52:06,260
there's a way by which they can bring those people in, check them out, take them back out

661
00:52:06,260 --> 00:52:12,580
before they go in on the base. So they have a long-range plan by which to deal with this issue.

662
00:52:13,060 --> 00:52:18,020
This is a way that they can fix it temporarily until this comes about.

663
00:52:18,420 --> 00:52:21,100
I wish we had somebody from the base here.

664
00:52:21,100 --> 00:52:24,740
Yeah, that's another reason I would because I'd like to ask them because they have to file a report

665
00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:34,140
And it's called a gate crasher report or something so for all 150 them. Well, hold on and I want to know if how that would affect

666
00:52:35,220 --> 00:52:38,780
Groups coming in and looking at the effectiveness of our base

667
00:52:39,660 --> 00:52:44,520
So I talked with my father and he was a gate gate guard here at Alps Air Force Base for a couple years

668
00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:49,780
He was APD here for 27 years and he's a gatekeeper a gate guard down at Shepherd Air Force Base

669
00:52:49,780 --> 00:52:56,200
The total time it takes to turn someone around, if everything is kosher, is about 45 seconds

670
00:52:56,700 --> 00:52:57,720
to turn somebody around.

671
00:52:58,220 --> 00:53:00,980
So there's the justification in our packet today.

672
00:53:01,460 --> 00:53:02,760
But that's not what I'm asking.

673
00:53:02,900 --> 00:53:07,320
I'm asking if they have to make reports for every gatecrash.

674
00:53:07,460 --> 00:53:08,080
At the end of shift.

675
00:53:09,380 --> 00:53:14,340
Those reports, what do those reports reflect as they get sent to leadership?

676
00:53:14,340 --> 00:53:19,900
whether the police chief has a record of how many of those resulted in a call to

677
00:53:19,900 --> 00:53:28,720
the police department. I understand what the mayor is trying to say here. It reflects bad when you have many reports of gate

678
00:53:28,720 --> 00:53:35,760
runners at any base because that goes ultimately to Washington, I'm sure.

679
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:38,920
I'm thinking black. I'm not thinking um, but

680
00:53:40,580 --> 00:53:47,080
We we responded out as police responded 92 times out there for a police assistance

681
00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:52,140
From January until current

682
00:53:53,020 --> 00:53:58,380
any anything from a felony warrant that they've stopped somebody at the gate to it to a

683
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:03,840
Drunk driver to people in possession of narcotics and other traffic offenses

684
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:11,460
offices, we have an MOU with them that we're required by the MOU to go out there and assist.

685
00:54:11,720 --> 00:54:18,000
They are our law enforcement partners, our city attorney, and our district attorney,

686
00:54:18,140 --> 00:54:26,800
both file cases out there from those offenses, whether it be city ordinance or state statute.

687
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:31,840
But we go out there a number of times, 92 times in 9 months.

688
00:54:33,240 --> 00:54:37,260
Out of the 155 a year, so you get a lot of...

689
00:54:37,260 --> 00:54:37,600
We do.

690
00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:43,800
There's a lot of wrong turns that people I'm sure don't want to go at.

691
00:54:44,060 --> 00:54:46,640
I'm not intending to go out there, but that's where they end up.

692
00:54:47,420 --> 00:54:50,180
And they got to have the credentials to get on base, obviously.

693
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:56,300
Many times, if they lack a driver's license or insurance, whatever the case may be,

694
00:54:56,300 --> 00:54:58,340
we are contacted. I

695
00:55:00,420 --> 00:55:04,680
say we move forward and kind of analyzing 10 and I'll move

696
00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:11,920
to approve item 10. Under the supervision of our staff and see the

697
00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:18,600
leadership to make sure the first few days is it turning into something crazy?

698
00:55:25,300 --> 00:55:26,020
You

699
00:55:29,410 --> 00:55:35,730
don't think we should. You're not including closing the ramp temporarily. I thought that

700
00:55:35,730 --> 00:55:45,610
was all part of it. Okay. I guess I'm rereading the regarding closure regarding his motion

701
00:55:45,610 --> 00:55:48,390
is to do a temporary and then see what it looks like.

702
00:55:49,110 --> 00:55:49,370
Second.

703
00:55:49,870 --> 00:55:50,710
I'm following you.

704
00:55:52,230 --> 00:55:53,230
I'm all up guys.

705
00:55:53,770 --> 00:55:54,870
Thanks a little bit.

706
00:55:55,790 --> 00:55:57,050
There's a motion second.

707
00:55:57,370 --> 00:55:57,810
Call for the vote.

708
00:55:58,450 --> 00:55:58,930
Tyler?

709
00:55:59,670 --> 00:55:59,970
No.

710
00:56:00,590 --> 00:56:01,150
Rester?

711
00:56:01,570 --> 00:56:01,830
No.

712
00:56:02,550 --> 00:56:03,150
Jinx?

713
00:56:03,230 --> 00:56:03,490
Yes.

714
00:56:04,330 --> 00:56:04,790
Womack?

715
00:56:04,910 --> 00:56:05,210
Yes.

716
00:56:05,930 --> 00:56:06,330
Blackman?

717
00:56:06,730 --> 00:56:07,030
No.

718
00:56:07,810 --> 00:56:08,430
Brady Lee?

719
00:56:08,630 --> 00:56:08,990
Yes.

720
00:56:09,530 --> 00:56:09,970
Vizel?

721
00:56:10,270 --> 00:56:10,510
No.

722
00:56:12,090 --> 00:56:12,690
Osterhao?

723
00:56:12,910 --> 00:56:13,190
Yes.

724
00:56:14,130 --> 00:56:14,570
Garrison?

725
00:56:14,570 --> 00:56:15,230
Yes.

726
00:56:18,060 --> 00:56:18,800
What's the motion?

727
00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:19,680
Five to four.

728
00:56:20,240 --> 00:56:20,740
Yes.

729
00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:25,940
Well, you know the people that drive through that intersection, don't you?

730
00:56:27,460 --> 00:56:28,660
I don't drive through.

731
00:56:29,140 --> 00:56:29,580
I'm sorry.

732
00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:29,960
Every day.

733
00:56:32,820 --> 00:56:36,800
Move to item number 11, consideration, discussion, possible action to proceed with the out to

734
00:56:36,800 --> 00:56:37,400
sign project.

735
00:56:40,490 --> 00:56:40,890
Yes.

736
00:56:41,270 --> 00:56:45,690
Several meetings back, we talked about the design that the architect had come with,

737
00:56:45,690 --> 00:56:51,290
with the large ALTIS sign that we, you know,

738
00:56:52,350 --> 00:56:54,930
and we've had several discussions about this

739
00:56:54,930 --> 00:56:58,730
and what we're wanting is to discuss this

740
00:56:58,730 --> 00:57:03,110
and possibly get approval to move forward with looking for a location

741
00:57:03,110 --> 00:57:07,270
and proceeding with putting the first sign

742
00:57:07,270 --> 00:57:10,450
up coming from the west as you come into ALTIS

743
00:57:11,230 --> 00:57:14,770
but we can't proceed without Council's approval

744
00:57:14,770 --> 00:57:18,790
so we want to bring it up and see about getting council approval for that we're

745
00:57:18,790 --> 00:57:24,410
going to put the first sign up coming from from water coming from the east

746
00:57:24,410 --> 00:57:28,830
all coming from the east right there by the year 62 by the air base

747
00:57:30,710 --> 00:57:36,990
I'm motion to provide 11 second you have a motion second call for the vote

748
00:57:38,270 --> 00:57:38,830
Blackmon?

749
00:57:39,150 --> 00:57:39,690
Yes.

750
00:57:40,190 --> 00:57:40,570
Filer?

751
00:57:40,930 --> 00:57:41,250
Yes.

752
00:57:41,730 --> 00:57:42,110
Rester?

753
00:57:42,430 --> 00:57:42,650
Yes.

754
00:57:43,170 --> 00:57:43,690
Brady Lee?

755
00:57:43,950 --> 00:57:44,250
Yes.

756
00:57:44,670 --> 00:57:45,150
Vizel?

757
00:57:45,630 --> 00:57:45,870
Yes.

758
00:57:46,510 --> 00:57:47,010
Jinx?

759
00:57:47,150 --> 00:57:47,350
Yes.

760
00:57:47,810 --> 00:57:48,270
Womack?

761
00:57:48,690 --> 00:57:49,030
Yes.

762
00:57:49,550 --> 00:57:50,110
Osterhoud?

763
00:57:50,250 --> 00:57:50,470
Yes.

764
00:57:50,970 --> 00:57:51,370
Garrison?

765
00:57:51,850 --> 00:57:52,130
Yes.

766
00:57:52,530 --> 00:57:56,310
Move to item number 12, consideration, discussion, possible action to one, award a contract of

767
00:57:56,310 --> 00:57:59,470
vector concepts, I've heard in Texas to install new sports flooring at the city

768
00:57:59,470 --> 00:58:06,070
gym for a fee of $129,470.50 from Capital Improvement Fund and to authorize the

769
00:58:06,070 --> 00:58:09,730
and three approve a budget amendment as such.

770
00:58:10,590 --> 00:58:11,630
Good evening, Council.

771
00:58:12,270 --> 00:58:18,590
So we went out for bids to replace the gym floors, both sides, the red gym and the blue gym.

772
00:58:19,630 --> 00:58:22,930
The floors have been bubbling for the past four years.

773
00:58:23,130 --> 00:58:26,150
We've had to replace them costing anywhere from 3,000 to 5,000.

774
00:58:26,310 --> 00:58:27,670
Not replaced, repair.

775
00:58:28,290 --> 00:58:30,190
And it just keeps, it continues.

776
00:58:30,370 --> 00:58:34,290
When they put these down, the last time they did not put a vapor barrier

777
00:58:34,290 --> 00:58:44,350
here for whatever reason it was. So we continue to have this issue. So it's a safety issue

778
00:58:44,350 --> 00:58:51,550
for the kids running on the court. We need to replace them. This bid on the – we got

779
00:58:51,550 --> 00:58:58,290
actually five bids came in. This is the lowest bid with us doing the demo, which is ripping

780
00:58:58,290 --> 00:59:02,450
up the floor, which is obviously already kind of coming up, so it shouldn't be

781
00:59:02,450 --> 00:59:12,070
too hard and then going down with similar flooring but with a vapor barrier in there and a glue

782
00:59:12,070 --> 00:59:22,090
that bonds moisture barrier vapor moisture one calls them vapor moisture so any questions

783
00:59:22,090 --> 00:59:29,730
on that this one also has a 20 year manufacturer warranty and that as well I do know that we

784
00:59:29,730 --> 00:59:32,410
We reached out, this one was put in in Mangum.

785
00:59:32,870 --> 00:59:34,450
We reached out to them, it was put in,

786
00:59:35,110 --> 00:59:36,850
I believe it's been about five years

787
00:59:36,850 --> 00:59:40,050
and they haven't had any issues with it.

788
00:59:40,910 --> 00:59:42,770
Well, apparently our last floor

789
00:59:42,770 --> 00:59:45,030
had a limited warranty, right?

790
00:59:45,590 --> 00:59:47,090
Because- Which was null and void

791
00:59:47,090 --> 00:59:49,430
because of the percentage of moisture

792
00:59:49,430 --> 00:59:51,090
that was under there when they came

793
00:59:51,670 --> 00:59:53,230
that wasn't checked into.

794
00:59:53,630 --> 00:59:56,230
Does this warrant, does this company

795
00:59:56,230 --> 00:59:58,650
have a similar a limited warranty?

796
00:59:58,650 --> 00:59:59,930
No, they will, they will come.

797
01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:12,200
If this gets passed, when will they start and how long will it take?

798
01:00:12,600 --> 01:00:18,900
So they tell us it's about six to eight weeks as long as the material is available. And from

799
01:00:18,900 --> 01:00:26,080
what most all of these five companies have said is that light or maple color is a common

800
01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:28,300
in color, so most of the time it's in stock.

801
01:00:29,660 --> 01:00:31,520
Move to approve. Second. Second.

802
01:00:32,380 --> 01:00:34,180
Do you have a motion to second? Call for the vote.

803
01:00:35,880 --> 01:00:36,780
Osterhout. Yes.

804
01:00:37,240 --> 01:00:38,160
Wilmack. Yes.

805
01:00:38,520 --> 01:00:39,360
James. Yes.

806
01:00:39,880 --> 01:00:41,060
Vizel. Yes.

807
01:00:41,520 --> 01:00:42,560
Brady Lee. Yes.

808
01:00:42,940 --> 01:00:43,800
Rester. Yes.

809
01:00:44,200 --> 01:00:45,120
Biler. Yes.

810
01:00:45,460 --> 01:00:46,380
Blackman. Yes.

811
01:00:46,680 --> 01:00:49,680
Garrison. Yes. Item 13, consideration, discussion,

812
01:00:49,940 --> 01:00:52,700
possible action to one, award bid to JVN officials,

813
01:00:52,980 --> 01:00:55,400
LLC of Duke, Oklahoma to provide sports officials

814
01:00:55,400 --> 01:01:01,540
at $25 per official and $14 per scorekeeper and $40 per official and $10 per scorekeeper

815
01:01:01,540 --> 01:01:06,100
for non-recreational league tournaments for youth sports during the 2022 fiscal year and

816
01:01:06,100 --> 01:01:07,660
to authorized marriage assignment agreement.

817
01:01:08,520 --> 01:01:13,700
So this is our every year bid that we go out for our sports officials for the year.

818
01:01:15,140 --> 01:01:17,240
We only got one bid that came in.

819
01:01:17,780 --> 01:01:25,280
It is the same as the last year with the exception of the $40 per official and $10

820
01:01:25,280 --> 01:01:31,260
per scorekeeper for non-recreational league tournaments, with that we were going, we

821
01:01:31,260 --> 01:01:32,620
wanted to try and run more tournaments.

822
01:01:35,140 --> 01:01:36,820
We're bringing in more of the out-of-town.

823
01:01:37,740 --> 01:01:44,180
That's one thing that we are really trying to push is bringing in the travel ball

824
01:01:44,180 --> 01:01:49,280
where people are traveling to those. And in order to do that, to get the

825
01:01:49,280 --> 01:01:52,600
officials that are reputable and that you want to get those tournaments to come,

826
01:01:52,600 --> 01:01:55,440
You've got to pay them more so in order to do this

827
01:01:56,140 --> 01:01:58,680
That's and of course you're charging more for those tournaments and stuff

828
01:01:58,680 --> 01:02:03,400
So it does cover that cost, but that's why that extra for tournament play is in there

829
01:02:04,540 --> 01:02:06,360
They went down on the scorekeepers

830
01:02:08,580 --> 01:02:10,920
On for which part for the tournament side

831
01:02:11,980 --> 01:02:15,480
Yes, that was not what we put it. That's what the people bidding put

832
01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:16,140
Oh,

833
01:02:20,770 --> 01:02:22,030
we're gonna have problems getting scorekeepers

834
01:02:22,730 --> 01:02:23,750
Because we don't use them

835
01:02:25,250 --> 01:02:31,490
Do what? What did you say? We don't usually, but it's up to this, this contract gets all the

836
01:02:31,490 --> 01:02:36,370
scorekeepers and rats. So they'll be responsible for making sure each game has a scorekeeper.

837
01:02:36,890 --> 01:02:41,570
Because I know most tournaments we go to, we end up having a score. So under this,

838
01:02:41,770 --> 01:02:45,550
it's their responsibility. If it's a tournament, it's their responsibility to do it under that

839
01:02:45,550 --> 01:02:50,250
fee, and if it's our regular rec league, it's still theirs. So they employ them.

840
01:02:50,250 --> 01:02:55,750
I'm speaking just because I deal with it, and when you paying money to go play,

841
01:02:56,190 --> 01:03:04,370
how the tools go up, everybody gets one point, one time out, it's going to get serious, so okay.

842
01:03:05,270 --> 01:03:09,450
I can speak here, I mean, I can tell you like when we go to volleyball tournaments

843
01:03:09,450 --> 01:03:10,210
out of town,

844
01:03:12,710 --> 01:03:17,250
the pay for their scorekeepers and referees actually goes down, mainly because

845
01:03:17,250 --> 01:03:18,910
as you're playing a lot of games in one day,

846
01:03:19,070 --> 01:03:22,290
whereas they just come to a regular contest,

847
01:03:22,890 --> 01:03:24,390
it's just two games and you're paying normal,

848
01:03:25,470 --> 01:03:28,330
because otherwise you're paying them $600 for an official

849
01:03:28,330 --> 01:03:30,710
to sit there for six or seven hours for games

850
01:03:30,710 --> 01:03:34,110
and normally only make, you know, this or that,

851
01:03:34,730 --> 01:03:35,990
because we've even had that problem

852
01:03:35,990 --> 01:03:37,390
with the term we held here recently.

853
01:03:38,010 --> 01:03:39,750
We said, well, let's pay them what we know to pay them

854
01:03:39,750 --> 01:03:42,710
when we end up paying them two referees, $600 each

855
01:03:42,710 --> 01:03:44,650
to basically work five hours.

856
01:03:44,650 --> 01:03:49,370
Do our fees usually cover the cost of the rent close?

857
01:03:52,040 --> 01:03:53,100
I think we get close.

858
01:03:54,280 --> 01:03:59,260
Well, I know it's a money losing proposition and we're not in the business to make money,

859
01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:02,800
but it's kind of nice to break even every once in a while.

860
01:04:02,820 --> 01:04:04,300
That's what we strive for.

861
01:04:05,440 --> 01:04:06,460
Move to approve.

862
01:04:06,820 --> 01:04:07,060
Second.

863
01:04:07,580 --> 01:04:09,100
You have a motion to second? Call for a vote.

864
01:04:11,660 --> 01:04:12,140
Osterhoud?

865
01:04:12,340 --> 01:04:12,540
Yes.

866
01:04:12,940 --> 01:04:13,420
Fizzle?

867
01:04:13,640 --> 01:04:13,860
Yes.

868
01:04:14,400 --> 01:04:14,980
Brady Lee?

869
01:04:15,240 --> 01:04:15,540
Yes.

870
01:04:15,540 --> 01:04:17,080
Blackman. Yes.

871
01:04:17,260 --> 01:04:18,320
Filer. Yes.

872
01:04:18,760 --> 01:04:19,660
Rester. Yes.

873
01:04:20,100 --> 01:04:20,820
James. Yes.

874
01:04:21,160 --> 01:04:22,040
Wolmack. Yes.

875
01:04:22,380 --> 01:04:23,420
Garrison. Yes.

876
01:04:23,680 --> 01:04:24,940
Go ahead and move to item 14.

877
01:04:25,240 --> 01:04:28,100
Consideration discussion possible action to approve change order number six.

878
01:04:28,580 --> 01:04:30,780
Increase the contract amount with Rick Scott construction.

879
01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:32,660
I'll say by 11,711.

880
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:33,400
$93.

881
01:04:34,080 --> 01:04:36,000
Linda Wiggington Aquatic Center renovation.

882
01:04:36,560 --> 01:04:38,680
Bid number 21023.

883
01:04:39,220 --> 01:04:42,740
So this is change order number six for the Linda Wiggington Aquatic Center.

884
01:04:43,160 --> 01:04:45,120
There's a few things that came up with this one.

885
01:04:46,600 --> 01:04:52,600
There were a couple of rooms that got missed that weren't originally going to be painted,

886
01:04:54,520 --> 01:04:58,080
and one of those was an alternate where we tore down some walls to make it bigger

887
01:04:58,080 --> 01:05:01,000
because it was an electrical room that was no longer utilized.

888
01:05:01,480 --> 01:05:06,240
So by doing that, it opened up this room that can be a multi-purpose type room.

889
01:05:06,640 --> 01:05:10,320
So we felt it needed to get fresh coat of paint just like the rest of it

890
01:05:10,320 --> 01:05:11,640
That's what blends as it all comes in.

891
01:05:12,580 --> 01:05:15,100
The concession was one of those rooms as well

892
01:05:15,720 --> 01:05:19,000
that was a little oversight when I say oversight,

893
01:05:19,220 --> 01:05:21,840
they just, I don't know what happened with it

894
01:05:21,840 --> 01:05:22,540
on why it got missed,

895
01:05:22,680 --> 01:05:25,160
but it wasn't in the original to get painted,

896
01:05:25,620 --> 01:05:27,440
but it's one of those that's used a lot.

897
01:05:27,600 --> 01:05:28,740
They did some maintenance in there

898
01:05:28,740 --> 01:05:31,180
that moved some windows down to meet ADA,

899
01:05:31,900 --> 01:05:36,260
so it needs some paint to make all of that cohesiveness

900
01:05:36,260 --> 01:05:36,960
and come together.

901
01:05:38,040 --> 01:05:42,900
The exit light replacements, the ones that were in there,

902
01:05:44,380 --> 01:05:47,560
rusted, all that, so when we got into it and we're looking,

903
01:05:48,160 --> 01:05:52,280
they questioned, we asked for them to give us a quote

904
01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:53,940
on what it would cost to replace those.

905
01:05:54,560 --> 01:05:57,800
We felt like those sort of stand out the same thing with the exit signs

906
01:05:58,260 --> 01:06:00,860
to put those all in the where they need to go.

907
01:06:01,080 --> 01:06:03,080
All the lighting wasn't included in the beer?

908
01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:05,200
Not all of the lighting, no.

909
01:06:09,180 --> 01:06:14,940
are they substantially complete they are very close yes yeah I see here their

910
01:06:14,940 --> 01:06:21,940
date of substantial completion is August 27th 2021 yes so but you know what

911
01:06:21,940 --> 01:06:25,840
we're pushing if they're pretty close they're only 3% over the original bid

912
01:06:25,840 --> 01:06:32,480
so that's not bad what is the and maybe you don't know maybe Doyle does what

913
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:34,280
What was the RSC water line cut?

914
01:06:35,080 --> 01:06:43,440
That was one that was mismarked or not marked when they called out Oki and it was when they

915
01:06:43,440 --> 01:06:46,020
were digging and they hit a water line that comes in.

916
01:06:46,660 --> 01:06:50,280
So they were asking to be reimbursed for some of that.

917
01:06:50,540 --> 01:06:55,620
The hours waited from the electric and that because it was one that was not marked

918
01:06:55,620 --> 01:06:56,620
on our part.

919
01:06:57,520 --> 01:06:58,480
So it was on our part.

920
01:07:01,540 --> 01:07:02,900
What was the paint redo?

921
01:07:02,900 --> 01:07:10,160
The paint redo was, so the original walls were in epoxy, and they didn't realize that

922
01:07:10,160 --> 01:07:15,420
then there was a latex that was over that, because it had been repainted, you know, in

923
01:07:15,420 --> 01:07:20,180
the past 40 years, and then so they went to paint, and all that did was when you put

924
01:07:20,180 --> 01:07:23,900
the latex on top of the latex that's been on top of epoxy, it just started bubbling

925
01:07:23,900 --> 01:07:24,460
and pilling.

926
01:07:24,860 --> 01:07:30,580
So they had to take it all down, they had to do bonding agents on it to get that

927
01:07:30,580 --> 01:07:31,740
latex to now bond.

928
01:07:31,740 --> 01:07:35,720
that wouldn't have messed up because it was it wasn't seen they wouldn't have

929
01:07:35,720 --> 01:07:42,440
known without getting into the paint I move we accept second you have a motion

930
01:07:42,440 --> 01:07:52,220

the out-of-the-city council and the city attorney concerning pending crash pad litigation

936
01:08:19,300 --> 01:08:23,080
disclosure will seriously impair the ability of the council to process the claims or conduct

937
01:08:23,080 --> 01:08:25,620
a pending investigation of litigation proceeding in the public interest.

938

start Miss Ray Lee. No comment. No comment tonight. No comment. No

971
01:10:58,790 --> 01:11:03,330
comments. Quick comment. I'm I've been around military since

972
01:11:03,330 --> 01:11:08,750
1995. So communication is something I'm used to. I've seen

973
01:11:08,750 --> 01:11:11,470
people emails and stuff and I don't get no replies, please

974
01:11:11,470 --> 01:11:14,750
reply to me if you just say leave me alone and shut up. I'd

975
01:11:14,750 --> 01:11:18,170
appreciate it. Or if I need to come see you, tell me that I'm

976
01:11:18,170 --> 01:11:20,890
make an appointment to come see you, whatever it takes.

977
01:11:21,150 --> 01:11:25,030
But the no reply, whoo, thank you.

978
01:11:25,350 --> 01:11:26,710
Well, let me make a comment about that.

979
01:11:27,170 --> 01:11:28,670
I supposedly have an email address,

980
01:11:28,750 --> 01:11:30,750
but no one has set it up for me.

981
01:11:31,030 --> 01:11:31,990
I don't even know how to get it.

982
01:11:33,130 --> 01:11:34,210
How do I get my email?

983
01:11:35,270 --> 01:11:37,630
Um, I think it's ordered, uh.

984
01:11:40,890 --> 01:11:41,170
OK.

985
01:11:43,010 --> 01:11:45,810
You have a, now he hasn't sent you the email, right?

986
01:11:46,170 --> 01:11:49,510
But you can link that to, because mine's linked

987
01:11:50,310 --> 01:11:52,970
to another email that I check every day.

988
01:11:53,370 --> 01:11:54,330
I need my link.

989
01:11:54,850 --> 01:11:55,010
Yeah.

990
01:11:55,210 --> 01:11:55,830
That's what I need.

991
01:11:56,050 --> 01:11:57,210
Mine was linked.

992
01:11:57,450 --> 01:11:59,950
Mine's linked to my personal emails right here.

993
01:12:01,130 --> 01:12:04,650
So if you can help me link it to mine, I appreciate it.

994
01:12:05,470 --> 01:12:07,050
Whoever does it.

995
01:12:07,210 --> 01:12:07,810
John.

996
01:12:08,150 --> 01:12:08,550
Okay.

997
01:12:08,890 --> 01:12:13,750
My only comment is I have asked about us getting a sign

998
01:12:13,750 --> 01:12:16,570
for the Senior Citizen Center

999
01:12:16,570 --> 01:12:19,710
we don't have a sign on the senior citizen centers.

1000
01:12:20,990 --> 01:12:22,870
Old people, they don't know where it is.

1001
01:12:24,030 --> 01:12:30,390
They need a dadgum sign, so I'm just saying I know we're going to work on this at some point.

1002
01:12:32,610 --> 01:12:33,150
That's all.

1003
01:12:34,130 --> 01:12:37,430
For my comments, I just had a few things I wanted to mention.

1004
01:12:37,590 --> 01:12:42,370
First off, for those of you who didn't, the chili kickoff was a massive success.

1005
01:12:43,630 --> 01:12:44,470
Very busy.

1006
01:12:44,470 --> 01:12:46,270
I think this is the people wanting to get out.

1007
01:12:46,450 --> 01:12:48,790
It's nice to see downtown moving again.

1008
01:12:49,850 --> 01:12:51,750
I told Linda that it was a great job.

1009
01:12:52,650 --> 01:12:55,390
It was me and my dog walking around the whole time.

1010
01:12:55,490 --> 01:12:56,050
It was kind of fun.

1011
01:13:00,550 --> 01:13:03,990
Tyler Mott, our communications director,

1012
01:13:04,370 --> 01:13:06,970
has been activated.

1013
01:13:07,430 --> 01:13:08,770
He's going to be going to Kuwait.

1014
01:13:09,170 --> 01:13:12,530
So he's going to active duty, effective this Monday.

1015
01:13:12,530 --> 01:13:18,050
And so we advertised for the position of a temporary person to fill that position and

1016
01:13:18,050 --> 01:13:23,930
we received applications and chose a person and that person is Chris Riffle and Chris

1017
01:13:23,930 --> 01:13:26,770
will come on board tomorrow as our communication person.

1018
01:13:28,680 --> 01:13:35,100
And then I was going to just say that, you know, you know, there was a lot of concern

1019
01:13:35,640 --> 01:13:40,220
when I was chosen to be mayor and I'll tell you in the last two months I've had a,

1020
01:13:40,980 --> 01:13:44,460
and everybody's worried about my busyness but I've done so much that I've been a

1021
01:13:44,460 --> 01:13:52,220
part of it with with the city. It's been a blast so far from the committee 100

1022
01:13:52,220 --> 01:13:55,520
dinners the military affairs committee that I serve on the first sergeant's

1023
01:13:55,520 --> 01:13:59,540
dinner we went to last Friday which was kind of a neat little thing that I've

1024
01:13:59,540 --> 01:14:02,520
never been involved in before as kind of need to see how they own to the

1025
01:14:02,520 --> 01:14:06,500
first shirts. Of course we're going to get to see the KC 46 reception

1026
01:14:06,500 --> 01:14:12,260
tomorrow. First time I'd ever met Jim Inhofe and all my years of teaching

1027
01:14:12,260 --> 01:14:16,600
government classes and I finally got to meet him. The proclamation signings, it's

1028
01:14:16,600 --> 01:14:20,360
amazing how people like to talk to folks. The assisted living week though, got to go

1029
01:14:20,360 --> 01:14:23,980
talk to the people at TAMRAC and they held on to me for about an hour and a

1030
01:14:23,980 --> 01:14:26,580
half and it was late for practice even because they wanted to talk the whole

1031
01:14:26,580 --> 01:14:31,820
time. Citizenship week, first responders day and there was something I met,

1032
01:14:31,820 --> 01:14:34,380
That fell to mention last meeting and that was the Unite.

1033
01:14:35,740 --> 01:14:39,240
If you ever get a chance, any council member gets a chance to go to the next Unite, I would

1034
01:14:39,240 --> 01:14:39,980
highly suggest it.

1035
01:14:40,280 --> 01:14:43,260
It's a very powerful event and a very good event to go to.

1036
01:14:44,920 --> 01:14:49,960
I will tell you that the amount of emails and calls I receive have gone up dramatically

1037
01:14:49,960 --> 01:14:50,480
over them.

1038
01:14:50,720 --> 01:14:53,120
I thought parents were bad to deal with in schools, but wow.

1039
01:14:54,600 --> 01:14:58,320
And then one other report, I've been with Freddie and he's talked to me, we're

1040
01:14:58,320 --> 01:14:59,960
We're going to start working on the first responders' memorials.

1041
01:15:00,880 --> 01:15:08,900
And it looks like we'll probably have more. I think I'm going to get most of the funding done purely by donation for it.

1042
01:15:09,620 --> 01:15:13,920
So after we're going to meet with a couple people and see how we want to do it.

1043
01:15:13,940 --> 01:15:16,980
And I think it's, I think, Freddie's even found a spot that he liked.

1044
01:15:17,200 --> 01:15:21,500
And I think I'm going to be able to secure all the funding purely by donation.

1045
01:15:22,240 --> 01:15:25,580
So anyway, with nothing else, we'll adjourn this meeting.

1046
01:15:25,580 --> 01:15:34,180
also we also had a craft show here in town this past weekend and the outpouring

1047
01:15:34,180 --> 01:15:40,760
the people were so excited about that the it's here on Hudson I believe and they've

1048
01:15:40,760 --> 01:15:45,420
redone that building and so they said there was probably going to be another

1049
01:15:45,420 --> 01:15:50,500
one in November and December Thanksgiving and for Christmas so I would just

1050
01:15:50,500 --> 01:15:54,880
I just urge everybody to go out and support the businesses in Altis.

1051
01:15:55,680 --> 01:15:58,280
We need, they need your money.

1052
01:15:58,640 --> 01:16:02,320
I'm giving them money, but we need to support our people.

1053
01:16:03,320 --> 01:16:03,800
Thank you.

1054
01:16:04,380 --> 01:16:06,540
And with that, we'll adjourn the meeting.

1055
01:16:07,580 --> 01:16:12,400
And then we will call to order the regular meeting, the Altis Municipal Authority.

1056
01:16:13,100 --> 01:16:14,440
Can you do the roll call, please?

1057
01:16:15,260 --> 01:16:16,320

01:16:49,790 --> 01:16:50,310
Restor.

1073
01:16:50,470 --> 01:16:50,690

1074
01:16:51,090 --> 01:16:51,470

1075
01:16:51,730 --> 01:16:51,890

1076
01:16:52,790 --> 01:16:53,250

1077
01:16:53,490 --> 01:16:53,710
Yes.

1078
01:16:54,230 --> 01:16:54,790
Osterhaus.

1079
01:16:54,970 --> 01:16:55,190
Yes.

1080
01:16:55,590 --> 01:16:55,930

Garrison.

1083
01:16:57,690 --> 01:16:57,950
Yes.

1084
01:16:58,710 --> 01:17:00,770
I move to item number five, consideration, discussion,

1085
01:17:00,930 --> 01:17:03,470
possible action to approve setting up fund 57

1086
01:17:03,470 --> 01:17:05,870
for the American Rescue Plan Act grant.

1087
01:17:07,800 --> 01:17:09,360
We received the first payment.

1088
01:17:09,760 --> 01:17:12,280
We'll receive a payment this year and the payment next year,

1089
01:17:12,400 --> 01:17:13,560
a little over $1.6 million.

1090
01:17:13,560 --> 01:17:19,400
dollars and we want to put that into its own fund so we don't co-mingle that with any other funds so

1091
01:17:20,180 --> 01:17:25,540
staff recommends that we set up that fund. Move to approve. Quick question is it one payment or two

1092
01:17:25,540 --> 01:17:36,000
payments of 1.6? It's two payments of 1.6. And what is the ARPA? American Rescue Plan. Act.

1093
01:17:36,320 --> 01:17:42,060
Act. Exactly what he's saying. That is funding from the federal government that's given us

1094
01:17:42,060 --> 01:17:43,680
that we can use for certain projects,

1095
01:17:43,880 --> 01:17:45,060
we can use for water and sewer.

1096
01:17:46,040 --> 01:17:48,520
What our plan is, is for the first amount,

1097
01:17:48,520 --> 01:17:52,140
is to use it to replace the water line down falcon

1098
01:17:52,140 --> 01:17:55,440
from the water treatment plant, clear to the base.

1099
01:17:55,720 --> 01:17:56,400
Thank you.

1100
01:18:00,140 --> 01:18:00,620
Second.

1101
01:18:01,560 --> 01:18:02,880

1123
01:18:28,940 --> 01:18:29,920

1126
01:18:34,020 --> 01:18:36,500
This is an application to renew a permit that's

1127
01:18:36,500 --> 01:18:39,720
been enforced for about 16 years so far for the city.

1128
01:18:39,860 --> 01:18:41,700
It has to be renewed every five years.

1129
01:18:43,580 --> 01:18:45,620
This is for our stormwater system.

1130
01:18:46,600 --> 01:18:47,580
Any questions?

1131
01:18:50,960 --> 01:18:54,580
It allows us to discharge into Bitter Creek and Stinking Creek, right?

1132
01:18:54,980 --> 01:18:55,180
Yes.

1133
01:18:58,140 --> 01:18:59,320
You steer gate out of those.

1134
01:19:04,040 --> 01:19:06,320

1160
01:19:38,370 --> 01:19:39,430
I do have a question.

1161
01:19:40,850 --> 01:19:43,970
Do they have flashing lights and all that kind of stuff on them?

1162
01:19:45,130 --> 01:19:46,530

1194
01:20:57,090 --> 01:20:58,410

1195

from the okay department of environmental quality

1196
01:21:01,750 --> 01:21:04,790
as needed for the trails at Veterans Court Townhouse Edition.

1197
01:21:05,650 --> 01:21:10,510
This is that new townhome addition that the city is a developer for and so we do have to

1198
01:21:10,510 --> 01:21:15,370
get permission from DEQ to expand the water system and the sewer system and so this is

1199
01:21:15,370 --> 01:21:18,230
the application for that and we need the mayor to sign it.

1200
01:21:18,850 --> 01:21:19,850

Eiler?

1214
01:21:32,370 --> 01:21:32,650
Yes.

1215
01:21:33,030 --> 01:21:33,430
Rister?

1216
01:21:33,730 --> 01:21:33,990
Yes.

1217
01:21:34,350 --> 01:21:34,610
Jinks?

1218
01:21:34,970 --> 01:21:35,170
Yes.

1219
01:21:35,590 --> 01:21:35,970
Womack?

1220
01:21:36,170 --> 01:21:36,410
Yes.

1221
01:21:36,770 --> 01:21:37,170
Garrison?

1222
01:21:37,450 --> 01:21:37,890
Yes.

1223
01:21:38,490 --> 01:21:42,730
Move to item number 10, consideration, discussion, possible action to increase solar power usage

1224
01:21:42,730 --> 01:21:46,550
from 2 kilowatt to 5 kilowatt for residential customers.

1225
01:21:48,540 --> 01:21:54,540
We have received numerous requests to increase the amount of solar power that we're allowing

1226
01:21:54,540 --> 01:21:55,240
on a residential.

1227
01:21:55,240 --> 01:22:03,680
And so we determined that working with OMPA going from 2 to 5 would be a suggestion.

1228
01:22:04,160 --> 01:22:10,640
What we'd have to do if council so chooses to actually redo the ordinance and bring it back at a later council meeting.

1229
01:22:11,240 --> 01:22:18,900
But we wanted to bring that before council and recommend that we allow it from 2 kilowatts to 5 kilowatts.

1230
01:22:19,060 --> 01:22:19,780
Move to approve.

1231
01:22:20,200 --> 01:22:20,560
Second.

1232
01:22:21,260 --> 01:22:22,120

1240
01:22:27,620 --> 01:22:27,900
Yes.

1241
01:22:28,300 --> 01:22:28,820
Fizzell?

1242
01:22:29,020 --> 01:22:29,220
Yes.

1243
01:22:29,760 --> 01:22:30,300

1244
01:22:30,480 --> 01:22:30,720

1245
01:22:31,180 --> 01:22:31,740

1247
01:22:32,640 --> 01:22:33,200
Osterhout?

1248
01:22:33,340 --> 01:22:33,580
Yes.

1249
01:22:34,060 --> 01:22:34,620
Wilmaq?

1250
01:22:38,460 --> 01:22:38,820
Yes.

1251
01:22:39,460 --> 01:22:39,880
Garrison?

1252
01:22:40,380 --> 01:22:40,940

1253
01:22:41,520 --> 01:22:45,240
The Di-Number 11, consideration discussion of possible actions allow the junior class

1254
01:22:45,240 --> 01:22:46,920
parents to use the old utility building.

1255
01:22:49,160 --> 01:22:53,020
Is this the building that was going to be the Spade and Nuder Clinic, but it's

1256
01:22:53,020 --> 01:22:55,120
not going to be the Spade and Nuder Clinic anymore?

1257
01:22:55,640 --> 01:22:56,020
Right.

1258
01:22:56,020 --> 01:23:02,300
We did receive a notification from them that they did not feel like that was something

1259
01:23:02,300 --> 01:23:04,560
they could do right now, so that is the same building.

1260
01:23:04,960 --> 01:23:09,460
Is this a permanent thing or just a temporary for the junior class?

1261
01:23:09,580 --> 01:23:16,280
This is just a temporary deal for Haunted House for that there is a fundraiser for the

1262
01:23:16,280 --> 01:23:16,880
junior class.

1263
01:23:17,400 --> 01:23:22,740
We did instruct them that they would need to give us the proper insurance and things

1264
01:23:22,740 --> 01:23:32,820
like that. So what liability would the city have in regards to them using that

1265
01:23:32,820 --> 01:23:40,300
building and unforeseen something happens? They would have the insurance to

1266
01:23:40,300 --> 01:23:44,500
cover that, is that correct? That's correct. They actually saw somebody in

1267
01:23:49,760 --> 01:23:57,920
Yeah, we did let them know that they would be required to have the same type of insurance that anybody else that would, you know, have an event.

1268
01:23:58,880 --> 01:23:59,940
Move to approve.

1269
01:24:00,340 --> 01:24:00,600
Second.

1270
01:24:01,400 --> 01:24:02,200

1290
01:24:20,510 --> 01:24:22,170
And nobody has any additional comments?

1291
01:24:22,470 --> 01:24:23,190
The meeting is adjourned.

1292
01:24:23,570 --> 01:24:24,810
Wait, wait, one more comment.

1293
01:24:25,970 --> 01:24:30,810
I did want to let you know an update on the Veterans Court that we do have plans ready

1294
01:24:30,810 --> 01:24:31,970
to go out for bid.

1295
01:24:32,530 --> 01:24:37,570
We'll have a pre-bid conference on October 12th, and we plan on taking bids for the

1296
01:24:38,350 --> 01:24:44,850
streets and the infrastructure utilities on October 27th, so hopefully we have a

1297
01:24:44,850 --> 01:24:48,970

1298
01:24:48,970 --> 01:24:53,890
