[1:01] for new food. We're on page 51. Excuse me. [snorts]

[1:06] Approximately page 51. Yes, sir. >> Anybody presenting this tonight?

[1:14] » We do have the city attorney in the city here. This was

[1:18] » I believe monitor to the uh this authority September 16th and this I

[1:26] think the same item was ready at that point but we did not have the requisite

[1:32] number of people from the authority here to approve it. Um so we plan to have

[1:38] some sort of special meeting to get it approved [snorts] but the developer said

[1:41] it would be fine to approve this at our next meeting. So here we are. I don't

[1:46] know if there's any specifics anyone has questions about related to this

[1:50] agreement. >> Very well. Any additional questions

[1:53] since the last time we've met that we have city attorney or no

[2:01] last call. Seeing none can entertain a motion for approval on three

[2:08] of the shortest J recent memory. [clears throat]

[2:11] Motion that we approve JZ257.

[2:19] Oh, sorry. Police foundation inspiration LLC. I was trying

[2:26] to read through the request. >> Okay, we have a motion to approve lease

[2:30] agreement item number three. We have second.

[4:56] Well, it was it was it didn't replace at night. It was a week. It was earlier.

[5:02] » So, we didn't sacrifice at night. We just kind of tapped one on ahead of

[5:06] time. Um, and we uh spent a lot to promote it. Um, and it was just an

[5:14] experiment to see how it turned out. Um, but it, yeah, went really well. Much

[5:19] better than than I thought, tell you the truth. So, kudos to the staff on that

[5:23] one.

[5:27] As far as outreach, we've got um, uh, Oklahoma Aquarium. Our our education

[5:33] department has what's called Okay Aquarium Go, where they bring animals

[5:37] and things to different schools and other organizations.

[5:41] » [snorts] >> Um, and they serve over 680 students in

[5:45] the in the metro area. Um, [snorts and clears throat]

[5:48] and so that's, you know, that's ongoing. We've had a lot of good feedback on

[5:52] that. Um, the aquarium is uh a finalist in the in the special organization of

[5:58] the year in environmental uh excellence for keep Oklahoma Beautiful. [snorts]

[6:04] Um, we partnered with the arts at 302 for their Halloween themed art show. We

[6:09] had Shipley over there. uh education went to visit Youth Services of Tulsa

[6:14] and they'll be bringing uh their kids to the aquarium on uh Saturday, October

[6:19] 25th, which already passed. That was last week. [snorts] Um and then as far

[6:24] as the uh shark the new shark research center, um we're now finally to the

[6:29] stage where we can waterproof. Um, [snorts] it was supposed to be this

[6:32] week, but we're not 100% sure yet because we have a very large uh [snorts]

[6:37] vessel that's uh was supposed to show up Monday and then was supposed to show up

[6:42] Tuesday and now it's Thursday. So, they've had a lot of they're coming from

[6:47] uh Canada. So, they're kind of uh the weather is kind of holding things up,

[6:52] but >> [snorts]

[6:52] » um we will need a crane. So, we're trying to, you know, orchestrate it with

[6:56] a crane to be there when they show up. Um, [snorts] so that's kind of what

[7:00] we're work that's our priority right now. Um, so we can get it craned off the

[7:03] truck and then we got to figure out how we're going to get it in the building.

[7:06] It's it's pretty heavy so and pretty bulky, but um and then it's got to go on

[7:11] the second level. So that's going to be really interesting.

[7:15] Probably didn't think that one through, but we're going to [snorts] get it. It

[7:18] It's going to fit. [laughter]

[7:23] But uh yeah, so um but the tank it took a long time to resurf to uh prep the

[7:30] surface of that concrete tank and there was a lot of um imperfections that we

[7:34] found along the way um that we [clears throat] had to have the company

[7:38] come out several times to repair. [snorts] Um it's it's really common for

[7:44] hidden pockets and and steel to be right under the surface. Um, we found a a

[7:50] measuring tape embedded in the concrete. [laughter]

[7:53] So, it happens. I mean, honestly, it's not I'm not uh it's not a strike against

[7:58] the company. It's just every single pour is like that and every project I've ever

[8:04] been on. So, it's some are worse than others, but uh yeah, you go along with a

[8:08] hammer and and listen for hollow spots. And then we have uh magnets, rare earth

[8:12] magnets that we go all over the whole tank. Um and so, yeah, it's a lot of

[8:16] work. And then we have the salt uh vat in the back which is um an underground

[8:21] vault basically. And so having to be in there prepping the surface um finally

[8:27] it's done and ready for the waterproofing. So um soon as we get an

[8:32] opportunity to do that, it'll look really good. It' be a good time to come

[8:35] check it out. So and then our acrylic panels should be here soon, too. Um but

[8:42] we probably won't install them right away. We'll probably set them in the

[8:45] tank. Um that way we have access in and out of the tank through the window uh

[8:49] openings and not have to use ladders. We're probably going to use the tank as

[8:53] a staging area for um our you know PVC parts and things like that. So um and

[8:59] that's pretty much all I have today. Anybody have any questions?

[9:06] » All right. >> So there you do have a good solid plan

[9:09] to get the giant heavy thing to the small doors [snorts and clears throat]

[9:12] and up the stairs. >> We have a plan.

[9:16] solid. >> Not sure how solid it'll be, but y'all

[9:19] probably [snorts] don't want to be around that day. One of

[9:22] » those scenarios where you [laughter] should have left the roof off. Hey, you

[9:25] know, it in the roof on me and three other people moved all the acrylic

[9:30] panels that are in the those huge panels for the Amazon exhibit where you crawl

[9:36] up and pop through. We got those in the building and into place and installed in

[9:41] one night >> um while we were closed

[9:43] » and that we weren't sure about that either because they wouldn't fit

[9:47] underneath the drop walls um where the VR is. So, we had to literally build

[9:53] something to slant them and drag them using carpet and it's like building a

[9:58] pyramid. So, we'll get it. We always do. We'll figure it out. No doubt about it.

[10:04] So, >> thank you, sir.

[10:05] » They Oh, one more thing. Um, and I just wanted to mention, um, I don't know if

[10:11] you've heard, but Jan Skinner, um, he was our longest volunteer. Um, he was

[10:16] there before the aquarium. Um, he was, I remember him at the train depot when I,

[10:22] you know, right after I got there and, um, yeah, he was a fixture uh, at the

[10:29] aquarium and he passed and so we went to his funeral and um, so we're going to

[10:34] try to figure out some kind of tribute uh he was part of a barberh shop

[10:38] quartet. He was a really interesting person and um and at the funeral uh the

[10:44] rest of of his group um was there and they did several songs which was really

[10:49] it was really touching. It was neat. So um and that that's all I have. So

[10:54] » last call trustees or any questions for Mr. Alexopoulos.

[11:01] » All right. Thank you sir. >> Thank you.

[11:02] » Appreciate it. There's nothing further or the time is

[11:07] 5:12 p.m.

[11:10] We are adjourned. >> Thank you.

[11:16] » No.

[1:05:18] Huh? >> Okay. Thank you.

[1:05:23] All right. No more animals. Let's move on to the

[1:05:26] humans. Citizen comments. Uh citizens comments is an opportunity for you guys

[1:05:31] to address the uh city council as a whole or anything that might be on your

[1:05:35] mind. As long as the uh the matter is not on tonight's agenda, we would

[1:05:39] appreciate it. We'll open the floor to citizens comments. Good evening, sir.

[1:05:43] Good evening. Jason Jackson, chief of police, 211 North Elm.

[1:05:49] I wanted to put it on everybody's radar that something big is coming back

[1:05:56] and that is the pancake breakfast before the parade.

[1:06:01] So, uh, the Lions Club did it for years. Optimus Club and I am the president of

[1:06:06] the Optimus Club as far as I know. Uh, took it over several years ago.

[1:06:12] » Optimistic. We kind of uh because I'm an optimist uh we kind of u stopped doing

[1:06:19] it after uh the pandemic. We have a new surge of leadership in the Loptimus Club

[1:06:27] and uh so we are putting it back on. So mark your calendars for the same day as

[1:06:32] the parade which is November 22nd from 7:30 till just before the parade starts.

[1:06:37] We're going to bring back a jinx tradition

[1:06:41] of the pancake breakfast. Okay. >> Very well.

[1:06:46] » Thank you, Barry, for all that we're after.

[1:06:49] » Thank you. Anyone else? Citizen comments.

[1:06:54] Okay. Very well. We will close the floor to citizens comments. We'll move on to

[1:06:58] tonight's general business, which is item number one. It's our consent

[1:07:00] agenda. I believe we have a request to pull item 1D.

[1:07:06] Um, anyone else on council like to talk about any other items A through D or

[1:07:12] anything under D? If not, we need a motion.

[1:07:17] Make a motion to approve the consent agenda excluding item D.

[1:07:22] » Okay. D. >> It's is it DD or is it DA?

[1:07:27] » D. >> Well, just item D.

[1:07:29] » Item D. >> Motion to approve item D minus A.

[1:07:33] » Yeah. If anybody can understand what he's saying, let's go ahead and make a

[1:07:36] motion to approve the consent agenda with the exception of item D for now.

[1:07:41] » Can you make that motion? >> Just D.

[1:07:44] » Yeah. Well, the motion's been said. >> Yeah, [clears throat] I' made a motion.

[1:07:47] » Second. >> Okay. Thank you. We have a proper motion

[1:07:50] and second to approve item one less letter D. Let's vote, please.

[1:07:53] » Short, >> yes.

[1:07:54] » Emmens, >> yes.

[1:07:55] » Ael, >> yes.

[1:07:56] » Murray, yes. Mayor Box, >> yes, sir. Moving on to item two. Let's

[1:08:00] go back to item number one, letter D, sub uh letter

[1:08:07] A, I believe below D is what we're discussing. Is that correct?

[1:08:11] » Yes, sir. >> 1 DA.

[1:08:14] » Thank you, Mayor Box and councel. >> Uh sorry about the confusion on this.

[1:08:19] There are um a couple things that we've been in the process of approving as

[1:08:23] minor amendments to the land use plan and I'll just do a little bit of

[1:08:27] education. And I try to keep you all uh remind you because we don't do

[1:08:31] amendments very often. So the land use map is the document that is part of the

[1:08:37] comprehensive plan and in 2020 we adopted the uh horizon jinx

[1:08:42] comprehensive plan and at that time we went through and said hey we think this

[1:08:46] area should be single family residential or regional commercial etc. So, we've

[1:08:51] made multiple probably 15 different times we've brought you amendments and

[1:08:56] changed things. And the good news is it's a guide. It's not codified. It's

[1:09:01] not the law. It is the um it's a guide for how land use develops or how a piece

[1:09:08] of property develops in the future. So on um

[1:09:14] item D uh one which was one and then item D

[1:09:19] approved minor amendments to the comprehensive plan lend use map on page

[1:09:22] 74 is letter A regional commercial to low inensity single family and um just

[1:09:29] to simply put it we do not uh want that amended it should stay a regional

[1:09:33] commercial and if anybody I like I say to the

[1:09:38] public who come in for we've had probably over 40 hours of conversations

[1:09:44] on this general area and um if you know if at some point someone wants to go

[1:09:50] residential, we'll come back and ask you to amend it. If someone wants to do

[1:09:54] regional, then it's all teed up for them and ready to go. So my recommendation

[1:09:57] and request is to um approve B through

[1:10:05] H with the exception of A.

[1:10:10] So

[1:10:15] there's >> Thank you.

[1:10:18] » Would you like to make a motion? Make a motion to approve item 1DB

[1:10:25] through H. >> Second.

[1:10:28] » Thank you, gentlemen. We have a proper motion to second. Let's vote, please.

[1:10:31] » Short, >> yes.

[1:10:32] » Emmens, >> yes.

[1:10:34] » Able, yes. Murray, >> yes.

[1:10:35] » Mayor Box, >> yes. And for those members of the public

[1:10:38] that had concerns about notifications to land owners, I believe uh I'm

[1:10:42] significantly satisfied that that has been met.

[1:10:45] So, thank you very much. Moving on to item three, ordinance 1675 related to

[1:10:51] Jinx zoning 25p 146, major amendment two. It's a zone change from commercial

[1:10:58] shopping to RS3, which is residential single family and approval of major

[1:11:04] amendment two for PUD 146 uh overlay. The general location is

[1:11:10] north of 131st Street and west of Elm. We are on page 85 if you're following

[1:11:16] along. And uh we welcome back Mrs. Hilton, I believe.

[1:11:23] [clears throat]

[1:11:29] » Thank you, Mayor Box, Council and Staff. Um, we talked recently in an internal

[1:11:35] meeting that uh there's a lot of information in these cases and so I'll

[1:11:40] try to simplify it, but this is actually one that was threepart. So when Mr. Bell

[1:11:46] brought the original approval to you for what we call Glennwood

[1:11:52] uh PUD 146, we said at that time we're going to approve one part and then there

[1:11:58] will be two additional parts that we'll come back and approve later. So this is

[1:12:01] the last piece to that puzzle. So the very and I'm going to talk in

[1:12:05] generalities of the whole PUD first and maybe we'll use page 87. Brandon if

[1:12:13] you don't mind really quickly.

[1:12:19] So [clears throat] this table was

[1:12:23] established with the UDO regulations and then how the PUD compares to that. And

[1:12:28] so what you all approved in phase um the first time we got the amendment

[1:12:35] phase one was the original PUD that you approved and then phase two was what is

[1:12:42] uh what you've seen the most often and that's called crossfine that became that

[1:12:47] private gated subdivision at the very top portion of that whole uh area. And

[1:12:52] what we're talking about tonight is uh if you'll go back to that map Brendan I

[1:12:57] appreciate it. Thank you.

[1:13:01] There we go. So, the hard corner of Elm and 131st. So, you can see that little

[1:13:08] flag shape um subdivision. That was phase one. And then above that was Cross

[1:13:13] Vine. And then the applicant is asking to do less commercial on that hard

[1:13:19] corner and instead of what was originally approved in the PUD was that

[1:13:24] they would come back with multif family as a buffer. But they're asking to do

[1:13:28] single family residential. So very similar to the very first project that

[1:13:32] you included or sorry that is included but you all approved. It is Glenpole uh

[1:13:39] school district. This particular area

[1:13:44] um would be considered still starter homes. And the biggest thing that the

[1:13:51] planning commission talked about was access through this commercial

[1:13:57] subdivision and the residential subdivision. So originally they came to

[1:14:01] staff and had they couldn't meet the spacing requirements and since 131st is

[1:14:07] a secondary arterial, it needed to be I can't remember off the top of my head so

[1:14:11] many feet from one uh access point to the other. And because that's going to

[1:14:15] be a very very busy intersection to get the through the to get the commercial

[1:14:21] traffic and the residential traffic to be more compatible but keep them off of

[1:14:26] 131st Street or off of Elm. It makes more sense to allow access through

[1:14:31] there. So in blue down at the very bottom that would be the primary

[1:14:35] residential access and then there would be a commercial access further over

[1:14:41] between 131st. And then but all residential projects, the original one

[1:14:47] and the new one that you're looking at tonight would come through the blue box.

[1:14:51] And then for amenities when they originally came in, uh they did not

[1:14:55] provide an amenities package. So they came back and we'll go over that in just

[1:14:58] a minute. But the amenities um they added a park for this one and they show

[1:15:04] it here. So you can see another blue access over to the commercial and then

[1:15:08] there's a red box for a park area that would be moved up to somewhere in this

[1:15:13] northwest corner. So getting that park away from the commercial area and over

[1:15:18] by that uh um dead end. And then there is a third access. You

[1:15:25] can see another blue box. So, [snorts] those were the three accesses.

[1:15:29] If you could look at um let me see if I got a better one.

[1:15:36] Their amenities package. You can just go to the next page,

[1:15:40] please.

[1:15:43] So, this is the area. So, that white box is the area that we're talking about

[1:15:48] approving tonight. And then they would have shared amenities and a shared HOA

[1:15:53] with the box or the land um area that you see highlighted with the black lots.

[1:16:00] So, I really need a pointer. The Can you zoom in a little bit? Or actually, will

[1:16:05] you go to the next page? It's kind of zoomed in for us. Uh oh, it's flipped

[1:16:10] though. Could you turn it?

[1:16:17] We'll rotate this so it'll be true north. There we go.

[1:16:23] So there's at the very bottom left is that access that would be now the shared

[1:16:28] access for the new development. And then what you don't see is that access that

[1:16:34] cuts over to the east that we saw in the other exhibit. They haven't updated this

[1:16:39] one. But then there's the shared exhibits up here. You see a very large

[1:16:43] pond and walking trail. This has a blue line stream through it. So, there's

[1:16:47] certain things that they cannot do. So, they have a big area there. They have a

[1:16:51] pickleball court and playground. And then they also show you their uh

[1:16:56] exhibits for their entrance. And I think that's really about all I have to cover.

[1:17:02] Again, this project and the hard corner residential wise are basically the same

[1:17:07] product, very, very similar. So, what you originally thought might get uh

[1:17:11] approved based on the PUD was some multif family and they're saying, "No,

[1:17:16] we don't want to do multif family. We just want to do additional residential

[1:17:19] and commercial on that hard corner."

[1:17:26] » So, Marci, just to clarify, the people that live here would have to drive

[1:17:30] through a parking lot to get in and out of their neighborhood. Does that exist

[1:17:34] anywhere else? We talked about that at planning commission and it is not very

[1:17:38] common. It doesn't it would probably be so that design is not done yet and I

[1:17:46] don't think it would look exactly like a parking lot. There would be a dedicated

[1:17:50] drive aisle and we do that a lot. So in AASO they have a brand new subdivision

[1:17:55] where there is a dedicated drive aisle. Um, what it does is it keeps me from

[1:18:01] having to drive out of the subdivision, go 300 feet, cross two more lanes of

[1:18:05] traffic, and then go back up into the commercial area. So, it it sounds um

[1:18:11] unconventional, but when you talk about transportation and access, it's a lot

[1:18:16] more efficient.

[1:18:24] » Question for Mrs. Hilton. >> Yeah. Where is Crossvine

[1:18:28] [clears throat] on this map?

[1:18:30] » Can you go to the zoning map, please?

[1:18:40] » We go.

[1:18:44] » So, we don't have anything platted, so it doesn't show up yet. This is the

[1:18:49] piece we just looked at that comes up kind of like this. cross vine starts

[1:18:54] here and goes across that way and then this is the corner that you're talking

[1:18:57] about. So, we're reszoning part of it from commercial shopping to residential

[1:19:02] instead of a big huge box of commercial shopping. And so, again, that piece that

[1:19:08] we just looked at that was the original middle piece comes right here and then

[1:19:13] turn it that way. And this is the gated subdivision right across here. And there

[1:19:18] is precedent to making the commercial corner smaller.

[1:19:24] And I mean, we did it across the street at uh Yorktown.

[1:19:28] It's not the similar, it's not like a mirror image, but if you see um the

[1:19:34] southwest corner there at Yorktown, there's one little [clears throat]

[1:19:37] subdivision that took up a portion of what was a commercial corner. Do you

[1:19:42] have an idea? What percentage of that commercial shopping pink box is being

[1:19:47] are you proposing to move to residential?

[1:19:50] » I have it in here. Let me look for you. I think it's four acres

[1:19:56] and it's [clears throat] what's the total value of the property

[1:20:00] acreage wise? >> Three. Okay. Sorry, it's eight acres. So

[1:20:03] phase three is 21 total acres. 12 would go to single family residential and

[1:20:08] eight would go to commercial. Okay. But [clears throat] the hard corner will

[1:20:14] remain commercial. >> Yes, sir.

[1:20:17] » Okay. >> In in an L shape.

[1:20:19] » In an L shape. >> Bring this one.

[1:20:22] » Originally, there were 43 acres in the original. So, I think that that piece

[1:20:29] that comes up, that flag piece is 43 acres

[1:20:32] » and Cross Vine was 55 acres and this one is 20 acres.

[1:20:37] » What was the planning commission's vote on this?

[1:20:40] They approved it with conditions. Let me see if I have those. I do have

[1:20:45] them.

[1:20:50] » Was it unanimous? >> Yes. Wasn't it?

[1:20:55] » Were you there? You weren't there. >> Were you there?

[1:20:58] » I was there. >> Who was my No.

[1:21:03] » Doesn't matter. I don't I don't >> I apologize.

[1:21:06] » I know there was something. I really don't remember. Normally I write it

[1:21:09] down, but I have my cheat sheet from Mr. Macy who does the meeting minutes and I

[1:21:14] didn't have them. So I didn't have my cheat sheet.

[1:21:19] » Just remember thinking there was some heartache over the decision, but

[1:21:21] » the heartache was mostly um not comprehending the efficiency and just

[1:21:27] really the safety of that that traffic from the residential to the commercial.

[1:21:32] That was the heartache. [clears throat] the actual housing product and all none

[1:21:38] of that I I do not remember being um an issue. It was just how does that flow?

[1:21:45] Is it safe? Do we do that? Etc. >> And is this the um applicant's

[1:21:50] recommendation or did you do you approve of this? You recommend?

[1:21:53] » I do approve. Yes. >> This is the best compromise.

[1:21:56] » Yes. >> Okay. Any other questions for Mrs.

[1:21:58] Hilton? >> Yes.

[1:21:59] » Yes, sir. >> So, on this picture up there, Mar

[1:22:03] is all of that new Glennwood Ridge. Correct.

[1:22:09] » This is the original what you see right there is the original PUD that was

[1:22:14] approved in 2024 and then we knew that they owned the

[1:22:18] acreage above it and we knew that they owned the hard corner and they said,

[1:22:22] "This is really exciting. We're ready to do this. Can you approve it?" And we

[1:22:28] said, "Yes." And we did approve it and then we said, "But when you come back,

[1:22:32] you're going to have to do a major amendment." So they came back almost

[1:22:35] immediately with the cross fine and got that amendment approved. And so the

[1:22:40] third piece was the commercial/ multif family and they said hey we're scrapping

[1:22:46] the multif family. We just want to do single family residential and we want to

[1:22:49] do less >> commercial.

[1:22:52] What I'm trying to make is still trying to get in my mind I guess. So, as we

[1:22:56] look at this, not knowing that could change with the commercial area, but to

[1:23:01] the right of where they're showing all the lots, that's Crossfine.

[1:23:05] » No, Brandon, can you flip it, please?

[1:23:12] » Thank you. >> So, this is the hard corner that we're

[1:23:17] talking about. This is the original approved PUB and Cross Vine starts right

[1:23:22] here and gets bigger as you go across, >> right? Yeah, that's what I was saying.

[1:23:25] It was >> then. Yes.

[1:23:26] » Yes. Okay. Okay. You got it. Thank you. >> Thank you.

[1:23:40] » Sorry, I didn't have the whole I don't know why I didn't pull the whole thing

[1:23:43] together for you.

[1:23:49] » We ready for a motion? And I will also say that because we changed the date of

[1:23:55] the meeting, I keep looking. I do not believe the

[1:24:00] applicant is present. I don't think I informed them. And that was my bad. I

[1:24:04] apologize because I know Mr. Bell would be here if he knew that the meeting was

[1:24:08] tonight. >> Well, any other questions,

[1:24:13] » Dilton? Okay, we can close the floor to the

[1:24:16] council. Uh, any questions from the audience? public comments

[1:24:22] related to item three.

[1:24:27] Very well. We'll close the floor to the public. Back to item three. I can

[1:24:31] entertain a motion if we're ready. >> I make a motion that we approve

[1:24:39] this particular one of the ordinance 1675 related to JZ 25pud

[1:24:45] 146. MA2 a zone change CS to RS3. >> Second.

[1:24:52] » Thank you, gentlemen. We have a proper motion to second item three. Vote,

[1:24:55] please. >> Short,

[1:24:57] » yes. >> Emmens,

[1:24:59] » yes. >> Ael,

[1:25:00] » yes. >> Murray,

[1:25:01] » yes. >> Mayor Box,

[1:25:04] » yes. We will skip the emergency clause. Moving on to item five is a potential

[1:25:11] executive session for the purpose of conferring on matters pertaining to

[1:25:14] economic development including the transfer of property or the creation of

[1:25:18] a proposal to entice a business to locate within the city of Jinx. Need a

[1:25:22] motion to enter. We're going to be discussing a potential hotel project on

[1:25:26] an out parcel uh next to the tulsa premium outlet campus. Anybody would

[1:25:32] like to have a motion to enter >> second part to that too, right?

[1:25:40] You want me to read the whole thing? >> Uh, read all the reasons you're going

[1:25:43] into executive session. >> Okay. Okay. I thought I did. Um,

[1:25:48] » oh, and excuse me, letter B. Discussing the potential purchase of real property

[1:25:52] located generally near the intersection of Riverfront Drive and Aquarium Place.

[1:25:58] Thank you, Mr. Macy. Need a motion for executive session, please.

[1:26:01] » Make a motion we go to potential executive session.

[1:26:04] » Second. Thank you. You have a proper motion to second vote, please.

[1:26:07] » Short, >> yes.

[1:26:09] » Emmens, >> yes.

[1:26:10] » Ael, >> yes.

[1:26:11] » Murray, >> yes.

[1:26:12] » Mayor Box, >> yes. We'll be back. Thank you.

[1:26:20] » Potentially. >> Have to use the word potentially.

[2:17:15] Council has returned from executive session. No votes were cast. We're going

[2:17:19] to move on to item number six, consideration and appropriate action

[2:17:24] relating to resolution number 887, a resolution authorizing the Jinx

[2:17:29] Economic Development Authority to assist the city of Jinx in carrying out and

[2:17:34] administering the Jinx River District Economic Development Project Plan

[2:17:38] adopted by the city, approving and authorizing the execution of an economic

[2:17:43] development agreement by and among the authority the city and Sey A Ram

[2:17:48] Holdings LLC ratifying and confirming an economic development agreement buy and

[2:17:53] among the authority the city and Tulsa premium outlets and between the

[2:17:58] authority and the city pertaining to certain tax increment revenues approving

[2:18:02] the use of assistance and development financing and containing other

[2:18:06] provisions relating there too subject to approval of the city attorney as to the

[2:18:10] final form. Okay,

[2:18:14] Nate, any comments for us or anything else you'd like to add?

[2:18:18] » Uh, yeah, just I mean very briefly, so this is an agreement um Robert Patel's

[2:18:24] group to build a dual branded I think it's a Hampton Homewood by Hilton um

[2:18:31] hotel uh have a restaurant bar in it. Uh the proposed incentive would be 10 years

[2:18:40] of the two cent sales tax tiff revenue. Right now it's currently being allocated

[2:18:45] to Simon Properties for the DPO uh reimbursement.

[2:18:49] They've consented to reallocating those dollars to go towards this incentive and

[2:18:54] then also half of the 5 cent hotel tax. So 2 1.5 cents of the hotel tax um for a

[2:19:03] period of 15 years. So 10 years for the sales tax portion, 15 years for the

[2:19:08] hotel tax period up to a maximum reimbursement of 3,143,000.

[2:19:14] Um it would cut off at at the end of that time period if they've not made it

[2:19:18] to that amount. Uh if they make it to that amount earlier, then then that's

[2:19:22] great. Uh some of the benefits that that we see to this to the city with that is

[2:19:28] uh in generating the additional sales tax within the tiff district that also

[2:19:32] provides uh access to matching funds from the state. So you'd have a

[2:19:36] corresponding amount of sales tax that would be available for other tiff

[2:19:39] projects. U the uh 5 cents of local hotel tax that's generated is also

[2:19:45] eligible for those matching funds. So essentially you're having 2 1/2 cents

[2:19:51] that's going towards an incentive and you're generating 7 1/2 cents that's

[2:19:54] going towards other tiff projects within the city as well. And then you've also

[2:19:58] got the advalorum value that would be generated that would be going towards

[2:20:01] the the Tulsa premium outlets u part of it and and really then represents kind

[2:20:07] of a an inertial building block uh to have some things going on. He's

[2:20:12] indicated he's prepared to move forward very quickly. Um he's under the

[2:20:18] agreement he'd be obligated to have a building permit in hand by the end of

[2:20:22] the fiscal year. So the end of June uh anticipates about a 24-month build. So

[2:20:27] he'd be obligated to complete the project no later than the end of 2028.

[2:20:31] But based on his timeline hopefully maybe spring of 2028 he'd be in a

[2:20:35] position to be open. So I'm I'm happy to answer any other questions you might

[2:20:40] have. But that's the >> Thank you, sir. Any questions from Mr.

[2:20:44] Emmens council any comments

[2:20:50] Mr. Short? >> Well, I think you know the the uh value

[2:20:55] of having this project uh is is there are several aspects in my opinion. Um

[2:21:02] get some building going on the outlet mall uh structure uh or or pad sites. I

[2:21:08] think the um to to Nate's point the inertia of that you know when we looked

[2:21:15] at the projections the proforma numbers the amount of occupancy that he would

[2:21:20] have to maintain to obtain uh within the the time period presented uh we would

[2:21:26] have a a sizable occupancy which I think would generate significant uh halo value

[2:21:34] for the city of Jinx. There would be a lot of human beings aggregating around

[2:21:38] the outlet mall. Whatever we have uh in and around the outlet mall, including

[2:21:43] restaurants and other entertainment venues, I think will benefit, including

[2:21:46] the Oklahoma Aquarium. Um I think that those added benefits um economically

[2:21:54] make the maximum of 3.1 million um very tolerable to to me in my opinion. Um I

[2:22:03] think that um again, you know, if we hit these numbers, uh the sales tax benefit

[2:22:10] that we get out of the grant, the state grant provides us additional operating

[2:22:15] dollars that otherwise we uh would not have. And so if we can stimulate uh the

[2:22:22] development of the outlet mall, we can further grow the the the sales tax

[2:22:28] dollars that we're um enjoying right now.

[2:22:33] Thank you, Mr. Short. Any other comments from council?

[2:22:38] All right, you guys know where I stand on this. I think the deal is a little

[2:22:41] too lucrative, but I I also don't think we're going to splitting hairs over a

[2:22:46] couple hundred,000 if whatever the case may be. So, um I agree with Mr. Short.

[2:22:51] Given the circumstances and the fact that we don't see any dirt moving over

[2:22:55] there in the last year for reasons that we're all familiar with, I think this

[2:22:58] might be a pretty good move. And the key thing for the public to know here is

[2:23:02] that this performance is completely incumbent on the hotel provider has to

[2:23:06] perform to even to generate these numbers and it's not to exceed. Um these

[2:23:11] are very complicated agreements and most people typically don't understand the

[2:23:15] inner nature workings of the tiff let alone something like this. But if you

[2:23:19] have any questions feel free to reach out to me or city staff and we can help

[2:23:23] explain it. If there's no further comments we are on item number six.

[2:23:30] Make a motion to present item number six, the resolution 887 as presented.

[2:23:36] » Second. >> Thank you. We have a proper that motion.

[2:23:38] » Make a motion to approve. >> I make a motion to approve the

[2:23:42] resolution 887 as presented. Thank you.

[2:23:46] » We have a second. Thank you. We have a proper motion and a second item six.

[2:23:49] Let's vote, please. >> Short,

[2:23:51] » yes. >> Emmens,

[2:23:52] » yes. >> Ael,

[2:23:54] » yes. >> Murray,

[2:23:55] » yes. >> Mayor Box,

[2:23:57] » yes, sir. Moving on to other business item number one, Mr. Shrout, city

[2:24:00] manager report. >> Mayor and all members of council, the

[2:24:05] uh month of October sales and use tax uh check, the sales tax collection check

[2:24:11] was 1% more than the same month last year. Uh the use tax collection check

[2:24:17] was 27% less than the same month last year. The total sales and use tax check

[2:24:24] combined for the month was 5 a.5% less than last year, but overall through the

[2:24:29] first four months of the fiscal year, sales and use tax collections are 20%

[2:24:34] higher than the than last year during the same period. And for some context,

[2:24:41] uh, every municipality in the Tulsa metropolitan area had a decrease in

[2:24:46] combined sales and use tax year-over-year for the month of October.

[2:24:50] Um and at our current 20% increase year to date, uh we remain far ahead of all

[2:24:57] other municipalities in the metro fiscal year to date. So I think the the whole

[2:25:03] metro saw a slowdown. Our sales tax was actually up 1%. But the use tax, meaning

[2:25:09] what people are purchasing online, um that was down uh quite a lot at 27%.

[2:25:15] And so I think um what we've seen both at the aquarium and with uh use tax

[2:25:21] probably since the summer is is a slowdown in consumer spending uh in Jinx

[2:25:27] and then there's been a slowdown in the Tulsa metro area uh going back at least

[2:25:33] 6 months. So uh I think that we're doing well. Uh I think that most

[2:25:38] municipalities are down and and we're we even had a 1% increase in sales tax. So,

[2:25:44] um I think it's something that we'll watch, but so far we have a pretty good

[2:25:48] start being 20% up for the first four months of the fiscal year. um at the

[2:25:54] October 14th INCOG meeting, uh their um

[2:26:01] transportation improvement plan for 2024 to 2027 was approved, which included um

[2:26:07] the $ 1.7 million federal surface transportation block grant that we

[2:26:12] received um for the utility relocation from 111th to Main Street on Lwood. Uh

[2:26:19] and so again, I think you know it's uh we have we have obligated $420,000 to

[2:26:26] that project and we received 1.7 million in federal funds. And so um we've talked

[2:26:32] about that before, but I think it's another uh good time to bring up that

[2:26:36] it's exciting. We get almost $2 million from the feds to do that utility

[2:26:41] relocation on Elwood. Um, the Oklahoma Department of Transportation Main Street

[2:26:47] Bridge prevent preventative maintenance project is now complete and we are uh

[2:26:53] thankful that it was completed in a timely fashion and we uh thank everyone

[2:26:58] for their patience uh since this started about 2 weeks after school began. Um,

[2:27:04] but it is now complete. uh the Elm Street project. The contractor is

[2:27:08] continuing to install the water lines across 116th Street and um all of the

[2:27:14] soding at 121st and Elm is complete. Fire station number one is nearing

[2:27:20] completion. Uh the contractor is working to install the remaining sod landscaping

[2:27:25] and irrigation. The final painting of the interior of

[2:27:29] the building is well underway and we anticipate that the fire station will be

[2:27:34] operational in December or January of this year. We also have an apparatus

[2:27:40] that the chief and um some members of his team are up in Wisconsin right now

[2:27:46] inspecting and that will come down and uh be inspected then onsite here in

[2:27:52] Jinx. And we expect that that will be put into service about the same time

[2:27:57] that the fire station will have its grand opening. And we're going to have

[2:28:01] some sort of push-in ceremony for the apparatus and uh ribbon cutting for the

[2:28:06] fire station. Upcoming events, we have Veterans Day on

[2:28:11] Tuesday, November 11th. City Hall will be closed. I believe there is a on

[2:28:15] November 9th, mayor, a Veterans Day dinner,

[2:28:20] » second annual. Um, city hall will be closed uh on

[2:28:25] Thanksgiving for the Thanksgiving holiday, November 27th and 28th. And

[2:28:29] then the Jinx public schools legislative lunchon is Friday, December 2nd from

[2:28:35] 11:30 to 1 at the math and science building on the third floor. If you

[2:28:40] would like to attend that, you can let Sarah Tacmill know and she will get you

[2:28:43] registered. If you have any other questions, I'd be happy to answer them.

[2:28:48] » Thank you, sir. I might add, I'd like to make a recommendation. I hope the

[2:28:52] council and staff will support this recommendation. The city of Bixby just

[2:28:57] like we do. This entire meeting is um made public on YouTube or Facebook or

[2:29:02] whatever. But what they do that I think is really cool is they take they edit

[2:29:07] the city manager report and make it a separate video. It's gotten a lot of

[2:29:10] good feedback because some people don't want to sit and wait through the

[2:29:14] executive session or even necessarily hear how we're voting. They want to hear

[2:29:17] the city manager report. I would like to suggest and propose that we take that

[2:29:22] snippet from every meeting and make it a separate uh video that we can publicize

[2:29:26] so people can get those highle updates. >> We will do that.

[2:29:30] » Thank you. Um Shrout's correct. So, Sunday is our second annual Veterans Day

[2:29:34] dinner. Appreciate the city of Jinx for uh being very willing to help support

[2:29:38] that, at least with the food. This Saturday at 11:00 a.m. at Veterans Park,

[2:29:44] we have our third annual, I think, National Salute Ceremony. It's very

[2:29:48] short. It's 30 minutes. So, if you're a veteran or member of the veteran

[2:29:52] community or just like to get out and love to visit [clears throat] Veterans

[2:29:55] Park, we'd love to see you there. And as said, it's a short ceremony, no more

[2:29:59] than 30 minutes. Um, and uh, if you're interested, um, one of

[2:30:06] the candidates for Lieutenant Governor, Cindy Bird, who's your current state

[2:30:09] auditor, she will be at Sheila Anne's peticissery

[2:30:15] Thursday from 4 to roughly 6:00, 4:30ish to

[2:30:21] roughly 6:00. So, if you haven't been to Sheila's place, well, you should just go

[2:30:25] anyway. And if you want to meet a really nice lady who's powerhouse woman who's

[2:30:30] going to be asking you for your support and your vote, you can go meet her uh

[2:30:34] over at Sheila's place. So we encourage you guys to come by and see her and have

[2:30:38] had a number of discussions. Most of the gubanatorial candidates and lieutenant

[2:30:42] governors do plan on stopping in Jinx at some point. So we should have an

[2:30:46] opportunity to allow the public to meet them. So I'll go ahead and say I'm done.

[2:30:51] Thank you for having me back. Any comments from council before we close

[2:30:54] city council? Okay, seeing that there's none, the time is 7:33, we'll call the

[2:31:00] city council meeting adjourned.

[2:31:05] We'll move on to Jinx Public Works Authority
