[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.

[1:05:23] 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.
