1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:16,800
All right, good evening and welcome to the 5 p.m. Tulsa City Council meeting. We apologize for

2
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:24,840
the delay, but it was beyond our control. So you can view this meeting on our Facebook page, our

3
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:32,600
YouTube channel, caught's channel 24, or at tgov online.org. Assisting the Council tonight is a

4
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:40,680
Caroline Garo Wolf, and Lori Doring, Secretary and Bailey Rogers Council staff. If you wish to speak on

5
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:46,520

7
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,560
to our flag of our country and remain standing for a moment of silence.

8
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:33,800
All right, it is my understanding. I don't think they're here this evening. Are they are? Okay,

9
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:44,680
elementary students. McKinley? Yes. You want to come up tonight or come up to the microphone and tell us,

10
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:52,280
give us your name and why you're here? What's going on this school, even though you haven't started yet?

11
00:01:55,560 --> 00:02:04,360
Hello, everyone. My name is Alyssa Perez and I go to McKinley and I am here to discuss what

12
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,800
I have done this year as a student council member.

13
00:02:15,640 --> 00:02:23,640
Good afternoon. I am here to represent the fifth grade student council of the McKinley Elementary

14
00:02:23,640 --> 00:02:32,760
School here in Tulsa. I would like to share some projects in accomplishments. I, on my behalf,

15
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:45,240
and the student council members are proud of. One of our most important projects you did this year

16
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:53,640
was the kindness council initiative. We encourage students to show kindness through their words and

17
00:02:53,640 --> 00:03:02,440
actions every day. This initiative helps create a more welcoming and supportive school

18
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:10,760
environment. We help recognize students who demonstrated positive characteristics and act of kindness.

19
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:22,440
Another thing I would like to, another project I would like to announce was listening to student

20
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:30,440
voice about bowling because that was one of the problems that most Tulsa Public Schools struggles with

21
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:38,040
and me and the other members had discussed. That was one of the main problems that we wanted to

22
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:46,840
solve that year in this past year. We gathered feedback from students about how bullying affects our

23
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:54,280
school community. We share student perspectives with school leaders to help create a safer,

24
00:03:54,280 --> 00:04:03,560
more inclusive environment. This project taught us the importance of advocacy and standing up for others.

25
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:18,200
Another project we did was our student lead morning announcements. We brought back engaging

26
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:26,360
and informative student lead morning announcements. The announcements included going news,

27
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:33,000
celebrations, reminders, and motivational messages for students and the staff of our school.

28
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:42,440
Students had opportunities to practice public speaking and leadership skills. We as a team thought that

29
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:50,600
it would be a great idea to help students learn about the traditions at our school and it really helped

30
00:04:50,600 --> 00:05:01,960
students wake up in the morning. We also really loved building

31
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:12,120
cultural connections. We identified the importance of helping all students feel represented and included.

32
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:18,600
We explored ways to celebrate the diverse cultures and backgrounds within our school community.

33
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:25,720
We promoted respect, understanding, and appreciation for the experiences of others. Our goal

34
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:30,120
was to help every student feel seen valued and connected.

35
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:45,480
And we actually met with one of you guys. We welcomed city representatives and community leaders to our

36
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:53,880
school and showed them around. These visits allowed us to learn more about civic leadership

37
00:05:53,880 --> 00:06:00,840
and community involvement. We proudly shared the accomplishments and strength of our school

38
00:06:00,840 --> 00:06:07,240
with visitors. We helped build strong connections between our school and the larger community.

39
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:15,640
As our student council, we held our monthly character assemblies.

40
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:22,600
Student council members helped facilitate monthly character education assemblies.

41
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:30,120
We highlighted important character traits, shed as respect, responsibility, kindness, integrity,

42
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:36,280
and perseverance. We recognized students who demonstrated positive character throughout the month.

43
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:44,920
These assemblies encouraged students to be positive role models. And we thought that it would

44
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:57,240
really help the students with what they coming from another student. We really really loved

45
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:05,560
this project, which was a community food drive partnership. Student council organized a food drive

46
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:12,280
and partnership with the Tulsa Daciner. Students, families, and staff work together to collect

47
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:18,920
donations for individuals and families in need. Throughout this project, we learned a value of

48
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:25,080
service and compassion. We were proud to support our community through collective action.

49
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:35,320
And as our student council and on our behalf, one of not one of the most important one was

50
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:41,720
volunteering at the Eastern Oklahoma Food Bank. Student council members volunteered

51
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:53,240
at the Eastern Oklahoma Food Bank. We learned about food insecurity and how organizations

52
00:07:53,240 --> 00:08:00,200
help families throughout our region. Together, we helped package more than 4,000 pounds of food

53
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:07,480
for this fusion within the community. This experience showed us how even young leaders can

54
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:13,080
make a meaningful impact to our community. That's also a good job.

55
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:29,960
If you guys can give it up for her mom had to walk out with the baby so she wasn't able to hear her

56
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:37,560
but as her former teacher and it makes me sad to say that, I'm her former teacher and her former

57
00:08:37,560 --> 00:08:43,640
student council leader. I am extremely proud not only of her but of all of our members. It was very

58
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:49,320
hard and the summer to get all the students together and I just wanted to make sure to give them

59
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:56,840
an opportunity for you guys to see and the community to see that she will be great. No matter what,

60
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:02,840
I have no doubt in my mind, she will be great and it was an absolute pleasure to teach her amongst

61
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:09,960
the other students this year. And in closing, I just wanted to let the community know and our council

62
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:18,040
members know that I was able to not only teach them in the classroom but to foster that leadership skill

63
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:24,120
and show them that it's not just a title. It's about your service, your work, your responsibility,

64
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:30,360
and actually helping others. Their kindness initiatives, our community service fundraising,

65
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:36,920
student advocacy and civic engagement. We all, my team and I, which was myself cloned about five

66
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:43,000
different times. We worked hard to make positive differences in our school and we are looking forward to

67
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:49,640
making the changes in the community. I and our student council member, she was our actual

68
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:57,480
secretary because she interviewed with me for the part and said, I love to talk. So I said, I can use that.

69
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:03,560
We are extremely grateful for this opportunity to not only serve our city and hope that our work

70
00:10:03,560 --> 00:10:09,480
inspires future student leaders to continue making a lasting impact. Thank you so much for supporting

71
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:15,400
us, Councillor Dunn, and the rest of the city council members and our fifth grade student council. I'm

72
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:19,480
actually believing in the power of student leadership. Thank you so much.

73
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:33,240
I just want to say thank you, Ms. Candy. I am so glad I got to tour the facility, meet with you,

74
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:40,360
meet with student council. You are truly amazing as were the other council members and I'm

75
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:49,880
excited to see you go forth at the Tulsa Honor Academy, correct? Oh, you're going to cover!

76
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:57,560
Good for you! Good for you! Well, I look forward to more participation from you in the future with city

77
00:10:57,560 --> 00:11:04,440
council and municipal events. I also look forward to meeting again now that the new school year is about

78
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:10,520
to start and getting to know the council members that will be representing McKenley. I'm grateful

79
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:17,960
for you and McKenley to be in my district. This is so exciting. We didn't have student council when I was

80
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:25,800
in elementary school. So this is phenomenal to give them a leg up and get going. So I want to present to

81
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:33,400
you these challenge coins. I know that we had given some in the past, but I also have another win.

82
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:39,560
And I want to bring to the school that you can pass out to the other kids, the other students that have

83
00:11:39,560 --> 00:11:47,000
gone on now. Anyway, congratulations and thank you so much and I'm so proud of you. Carver is going

84
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:53,400
to benefit greatly from having you there. Thank you, Ms. Candy.

85
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:58,760
And just so you don't know one last thing. She's not only a parent in the community.

86
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:04,680
They were a leader in Tulsa Public Schools district. We had the highest test scores in the district

87
00:12:04,680 --> 00:12:10,280
for fifth grade. So she's not only a champion in the community. She's a champion in the classroom as well.

88
00:12:53,400 --> 00:13:17,000
What more? One, two, three. Here we go. Thank you.

89
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:49,800
All right, announcements. People wishing to speak on an agenda item are limited to five minutes,

90
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:55,160
total permitting public input as a time for members of the public to provide insight on the

91
00:13:55,160 --> 00:14:01,320
agenda item due to meeting format. Public input is not a time for question and answer period. All

92
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:06,920
comments should be relevant to the agenda item and directed to the council. We do have an electronic

93
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:12,680
timing system in front of the speakers at the microphone. There is a timer that will count down the

94
00:14:12,680 --> 00:14:19,160
time use. A green light will indicate your time is going. Yellow will caution you that you have 30 seconds

95
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:24,600
remaining and a blinking red light will let you know that your time has concluded. We ask that you

96
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:30,600
stay within your time limits so everyone wishing to speak is given equal time. Please keep the podium

97
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:37,560
area railings aisle free from recording devices and tripods recording equipment and accessories

98
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:44,280
including tripods must be set up in the media center as posted on tonight's agenda certain items are

99
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:50,120
subject to consideration and possible approval, adoption, denial, amendment or revision. I call this meeting

100
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:18,000
All right. One receipt of filing and minutes, there are no items this week. Two appointments and re-appointments. A, Athena laws appointment to the sales tax overview committee.

101
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:31,000
B, a sorry, Jimerson appointment to the Parks and Recreation Board, Gilchryse Board of Trustees. C, Morgan Jones appointment to the HUD community development committee.

102
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,000
Reep and I don't need to know who she's replacing.

103
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,000
All right. Do we have any speakers?

104
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,000
Actually Athena is here to speak about her appointment.

105
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:48,800
Okay. Good evening. I just wanted to come back and say thank you to my community. Thank you to

106
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:57,280
the councilman that met me last week and voted for me to take this opportunity. I wanted to thank

107
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:04,080
Miss Shirley Williams and my neighborhood. She invited me and encouraged me to get a part of my city and be a part of

108
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:12,640
the neighborhood academy. She was pushing me to do that. So I graduated from that and when I

109
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:19,360
graduated from that council harbour, hall harbour invited us to apply and I'm here. So I just wanted

110
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:26,320
to say thank you to everyone in the community. And I look forward to serving and to one my very best.

111
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:36,320
Thank you. Thank you. Any other, are there any other speakers? Yes, we have Mr. John Huffines for items

112
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:51,120
to a B&C. Yes, I'm glad to be with you on this fifth day of August in this beautiful city of

113
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:57,920
love Tulsa in this beautiful nation under God the USA in the year of our living Lord Jesus Christ

114
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:06,880
2,026 appointments and we have appointments. Yes, Athena Laws. Oh, Marie, Jimerson and Morgan Jones may we

115
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:12,480
continue to be grateful for these volunteers. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. refined. Next speaker, please.

116
00:17:13,360 --> 00:17:23,680
Our next speaker is James Taylor for item 2 B. I was in student council in 5th grade 2.

117
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:30,320
This is what it turns into. Today you're being asked to approve another appointment to the Tulsa

118
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:35,520
Park's Board. Before doing that, I asked you to first examine the standards of accountability for the

119
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:41,440
board itself. The Tulsa Parks Board are appointed stewards of taxpayer owned parks and public land.

120
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:47,760
Yet today they operate with no publicly available governing policies, no meaningful attendance expectations,

121
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:53,200
no observable term limits, questionable conflict of interest safeguards, and increasingly limited

122
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:59,280
opportunities for the public to participate in decisions affecting property the taxpayers already own.

123
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:05,920
Let's start with attendance. Shane Fernanda is was allowed to miss 12 of his last 13 meetings.

124
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:10,960
The only meeting he attended during that period was the special meeting where he seconded the chair's

125
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:16,560
motion to abandon Rodden Park. Chair Susan Savage's own text message to city admin

126
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:21,920
and mayoral Designee Park's board member Mike Miller states that the same criteria used to abandon

127
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:27,520
those seven acres in North Tulsa were used to justify abandoning another two and a half acres in

128
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:33,120
New Block Park. Mr. Miller also serves as the supervisor of parks director on America

129
00:18:33,120 --> 00:18:38,640
whose recommendations come before the very board on which he votes. Whether or not an actual conflict

130
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:44,320
exists, the appearance alone demands public scrutiny. The people of Tulsa should never have to question

131
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:50,000
whether decisions about their parks are being made independently and in the public's best interest.

132
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:55,760
Back to attendance Tulsa City Code recognizes that attendance matters by allowing appointed board

133
00:18:55,760 --> 00:19:01,120
members to be removed for repeatedly missing meetings. Yet the parks board is specifically

134
00:19:01,120 --> 00:19:06,640
exempted from those attendance standards. Why should the board entrusted with some of Tulsa's most

135
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:12,880
valuable public assets be held to a lower standard than every other city board? The same lack of

136
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:20,000
accountability exists with board tenure. Theresa Burkett has served since June 9, 2011 that's over 15

137
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:25,520
years. There are no observable term limits. Public boards benefit from fresh perspectives

138
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:31,280
independent oversight and regular opportunities for newly appointed citizens to serve.

139
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:37,120
The public's ability to participate is also being diminished. I understand there have been discussions

140
00:19:37,120 --> 00:19:42,720
about further limiting public comment on agenda items. Public parks belong to the people

141
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:48,560
and the public should never have fewer opportunities to speak about decisions affecting land they already

142
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:54,560
own. Perhaps most concerning the board cannot produce the policies that supposedly govern its own actions.

143
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:59,600
The parks board is operating without publicly adopted governing policies.

144
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:05,120
Until recently the city's website published a policy and procedure manual that was never approved

145
00:20:05,120 --> 00:20:09,920
by the parks board or the council. No one could tell me who wrote it or explained how it became the

146
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:15,360
city's published guidance. I was then told those policies are now being presented back to the board

147
00:20:15,360 --> 00:20:21,360
one section at a time as to not overwhelm the board by reviewing them all at once. Over the last two

148
00:20:21,360 --> 00:20:26,880
park board meetings I have repeatedly requested one simple act of accountability to produce every

149
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:32,640
policy governing the board's decisions and actions. They have failed to produce even a single document.

150
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:38,080
To quote a board approved rules and red document from 1994 a policy manual is valuable in

151
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:43,040
eliminating potential problems that may arise when new board members are becoming acquainted with

152
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:49,120
the department and with their duties as board members. A board responsible for overseeing hundreds of

153
00:20:49,120 --> 00:20:54,080
millions of dollars in public assets should welcome accountability not avoid it. It should have

154
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:59,680
enforceable attendance standards, reasonable term limits, publicly adopted policies,

155
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:05,120
clear conflict of interest protections, and robust public participation. Approving another

156
00:21:05,120 --> 00:21:10,400
appointment without first strengthening the structure of accountability does not solve any problems.

157
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:16,080
It simply adds another person to a system that lacks meaningful oversight. I respectfully ask this

158
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:21,120
counsel to delay this appointment until the public can be assured that the Tulsa Parks Board

159
00:21:21,120 --> 00:21:27,360
will be governed by the same principles of transparency, accountability and public trust that you would

160
00:21:27,360 --> 00:21:33,760
expect from every other board serving the people of Tulsa. We can't appoint our way out of a

161
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:39,520
governance problem and until this board has enforceable standards another appointment isn't leadership.

162
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:45,520
It's simply an endorsement of a system that asks for public trust while refusing public accountability.

163
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:51,120
The people of Tulsa deserve a park's board that is accountable to the public, not simply appointed

164
00:21:51,120 --> 00:21:56,880
by the government. Before I leave, I will serve a notice of statutory non-compliance,

165
00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:02,000
documenting the park's boards failure to maintain and produce the governing policies required by

166
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:08,240
Oklahoma law. Every member of this council will receive it so well-city legal, the city clerk,

167
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:15,200
the media, and the Oklahoma Attorney General's Open Government Unit. The public record now reflects

168
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:19,360
that these concerns have been formally noticed. Thank you.

169
00:22:21,360 --> 00:22:27,600
Bailey is that the last speaker? They're no more speakers. All right. Is there a council discussion?

170
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:36,400
Oh, chair. I just wanted to clarify real quick for folks that I'm sorry I pulled up the

171
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:42,640
charter just real quick related to the parks board, which is a recommending and advisory body.

172
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:49,200
I'm in just to add a layer of clarification and people of course can review materials and

173
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:55,360
do follow-up questions, but basically the parks department, as part of InterStrong-Mere Government,

174
00:22:55,360 --> 00:23:01,600
is governed and administered by the mayor's office, and so that includes for, you know, the parks

175
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:05,920
board may recommend something. It will modify certain plans for a construction or improvement, but that

176
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:11,600
still has to pen is pending mayoral approval, and then for anything related to dollars being allocated,

177
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:19,200
fees being changed, any recommendation related to a city park, playground, et cetera,

178
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:24,880
has to go through the city council. And so there is those key oversight layers of our governing

179
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:31,680
bodies, so I just want to clarify that, everybody. Okay, thank you. Are there council discussion?

180
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:40,560
I moved to approve items to A through C. Second. Please hold the roll.

181
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:46,240
Councillor Denton? Yes. Councillor Bellis? Yes. Councillor Gilbert? Yes. Councillor Bangle? Yes.

182
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:51,760
Councillor Dector, right? Yes. Councillor Laken? Yes. Councillor Bush? Yes. Councillor Hall harbour? Yes.

183
00:23:51,760 --> 00:24:02,800
Councillor Archi? Yes. Okay. Um, items to A through two C are approved, any other appointees here tonight?

184
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:13,600
All right. Would you like to say anything else after your approval? No. No. Okay. All right.

185
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:19,760
I just wanted to give you the opportunity. So, all right. Moving on, item number three, public

186
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:24,960
hearing three, a public hearing to receive comments from citizens regarding a proposed ordinance

187
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:32,800
closing a certain portion of a alley in vertical airspace located at 316 East Second Street, Tulsa,

188
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:38,240
original town. Is there a motion to enter public hearing? I moved to enter public hearing. Second,

189
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:44,480
please call the roll. Councillor Denton? Yes. Councillor Bellis? Yes. Councillor Gilbert? Yes.

190
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:49,440
Councillor Bangle? Yes. Councillor Dector, right? Yes. Councillor Laken? Yes. Councillor Bush? Yes.

191
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:53,920
Councillor Hall harbour? Yes. Councillor Archi? Yes. Do we have any speakers?

192
00:24:55,120 --> 00:24:58,960
We have one speaker, Chris Armstrong, for item three A.

193
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:11,280
Hello. My name is Chris Armstrong and my wife, Joe and I own Arnie's bar, the Blue Dome,

194
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:19,920
325 South, Elgin, 202 South, Elgin and 318 East, Second Street. The alley that is being addressed

195
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:23,440
is, we do not really know much information. It just has partial closing of that alley.

196
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:28,400
H&M pipe bending has been there for over 100 years. There are neighbors. They have a loading dock

197
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:32,720
in that alley, as well as we do on our new building at 202 South, Elgin. I say new. It's been there for

198
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:39,760
two and a half years now, two years, but it's also access to our property. I don't know much about

199
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:44,080
what they're wanting to close. I just know it's going to create a hardship for the neighbouring

200
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:48,320
businesses as well as American parking because American parking has access to that alley. That's how

201
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:52,880
people get into their parking a lot. We would not receive any information about this other than to show

202
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:58,480
up this meeting to make a comment. That's why we're here. Most of the buildings that we have have been

203
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:04,080
over there for over 100 years and I just don't understand why I knew building the use of a new building

204
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:10,800
constitutes a new addition to closing a public space, which is taxpayer dollars. So that's

205
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:15,920
my only comment, but just like some more information, but we have not received any. Thank you for your room.

206
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:22,960
Thank you. Councillor Bellis. I'm glad you came to ask. I can definitely see why when you read the

207
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:29,120
language, I can cause a alarm about closing an alley that so many folks use to clarify and we're discussing

208
00:26:29,120 --> 00:26:35,760
this in committee earlier in downtown. A lot of the buildings, of course, are older and are

209
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:41,200
using included and the doors swing outward, which is against code. There's this swing inward, but to

210
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:48,080
not force people to do costly repairs. What we do in situations where the doors swing outward by design

211
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:54,560
is the K where the door will swing outward too, which obviously that's just an impermanent situation. So

212
00:26:54,560 --> 00:27:01,680
this is just permitting that to go on. I know I will flag and this may be a question for engineering

213
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:06,160
that they were going to put something at a certain height that wouldn't be blocking the alley,

214
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:10,000
but I don't know if that would affect the clearance. I'm just mentioning that's my call. Do you

215
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:14,480
go remember that from the discussion where they were maybe it was an awning or something? I'm trying to

216
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:22,640
remember what it was. No, so it was no awnings. Okay. Okay. Yeah, nothing should be actually directly

217
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:29,040
blocking the alley and I can try to find and follow up and send you all that there are policies about

218
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:33,280
you can't just have the door open and perpetuity, right? Someone can't just keep it blocking the alley.

219
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:38,160
This doesn't create that, so you all should still have regular use of it and totally fear that the

220
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:48,400
language may have made you concerned. Yeah. No, absolutely this shouldn't prohibit that. Yeah,

221
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:56,800
Bailey and the other speakers? They're no more speakers. All right. Without objection, we will exit

222
00:27:56,800 --> 00:28:03,520
public hearings for mayor's items for a report from the mayor or his designate on community events,

223
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:08,720
briefing on city activity, city efforts and new business. Good evening, Kelly. I'm sorry.

224
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,880
Can you follow the bill, public advocate, Mayor's office, city of Tulsa?

225
00:28:15,360 --> 00:28:21,760
I didn't forget my report tonight. Sorry about that, I'm sorry about that. I will always be in

226
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:27,680
bearish forever about that. Okay. I'm just going to read to you. I think our student probably does a

227
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:32,480
better job speaking in public than me. So I should took some notes and I'm going to try to do better.

228
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:39,840
she was so excellent. Yes, she was. The Tulsa Global Alliance won the best overall

229
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:46,880
program award at the sister city's 26 annual award in Washington, DC. I think that's great.

230
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:54,640
It's the fourth time Tulsa has taken home this award in this 50th anniversary year for the program.

231
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:59,360
We compete with hundreds of programs from around the world and the Tulsa Global Alliance represents

232
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:05,280
us tremendously on the global stage. See I told you she does better at speaking than I do so.

233
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:12,400
That's great news. I used to work on this program 15, 15 years ago. I'm so glad it's still going

234
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:16,720
and it's getting better so this is so great to see. We should be so honored here in Tulsa.

235
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:23,040
We have two new official Main Street programs. Councillor Bellis, I've seen this announced

236
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:30,000
through the city and through the council. We've got the sobo district which I think is South Boston

237
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:36,080
is what that stands for and Pearl Main Street. The official designation capitalizes on all of the

238
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:41,120
investment ports into these neighborhoods to connect them with more resources to strengthen historic

239
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:47,520
commercial districts. This brings I think a total of six for the city of Tulsa's great programs and so

240
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:54,000
happy to see and we got two new ones. August is clear the shelters month for our animal services

241
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:59,360
and adoption fees will be waived by animal services here in Tulsa throughout August.

242
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:06,000
Every animal will still go home with the high level of care and preparation, typical of Tulsa experience, including spain,

243
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:15,000
neutering, vaccinations, microchips, and heartworm prevention. We encourage Tulsons to visit our shelters, take advantage of the fee waivers,

244
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:25,000
and bring home a new family member at this month. So go get that brand new pet. I've adopted Barry from Animal Services, and I just don't know what I would do without him.

245
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:30,000
And I'm not sure anybody else would have the patience for him. He's a character.

246
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,000
Love him dearly.

247
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:39,000
Finally, we have some terrific community events coming up at the end of the week on Friday at 9.30am.

248
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:46,000
We will have a short program followed by a summer celebration at Fred Johnson Park in Council of District 9.

249
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:53,000
That's going to be at 61st and Riverside. There'll be refreshments and activities for all ages.

250
00:30:53,000 --> 00:31:02,000
Construction is beginning this summer to include an all new walking trails, several courts, a splash pad, playground, dog park, state features, and more.

251
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,000
So that's exciting as well.

252
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:16,000
This one's near and dear to my heart. On Friday, August 7th, this coming Friday, we're going to have a, there's a street honorary sign ceremony,

253
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:21,000
Pine Empioria at 245 for Dwayne, Majet.

254
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,000
So if you guys are available, please join us.

255
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:31,000
The family has sent out information about that city. We haven't posted an info, but that's coming.

256
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:34,000
We should get that out publicly. Well, we'll get that out by tomorrow.

257
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:42,000
But Friday, 245, Pine Empioria, we're going to be on this south west corner. You'll see everybody.

258
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:46,000
If you can make it, please join us so we can honor Dwayne.

259
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,000
We miss him dearly here at the city.

260
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:54,000
All right, you guys have a lovely night. I'll see you here in a few minutes from the start of two left.

261
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,000
Councillor Dutton.

262
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,000
Don't leave yet. Just ma'am.

263
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:02,000
So I have a question pertaining to the last presentation.

264
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:05,000
The mayor's items that you presented two weeks ago.

265
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:06,000
Yes.

266
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:13,000
Has there been any further discussion about cooling stations as we are getting right back into triple digits?

267
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:22,000
And I think with all the great things going on in the city, I think this is a consideration that has to be taken seriously as well.

268
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,000
And I haven't heard anything further.

269
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:28,000
And it's great all of these things that you just announced.

270
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:36,000
But I think it would also be great a benefit to community if we could have more cooling stations.

271
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:39,000
Sure. So I think it's the same cooling stations.

272
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,000
Those will be posted on our website.

273
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,000
And they're all downtown.

274
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:47,000
These are donations. These are private organizations opening their doors for this.

275
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:51,000
So if you know organizations that would love to collaborate with us, please let us know.

276
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:55,000
And we can work with them and especially in the other districts, right?

277
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:59,000
To your point of, you know, we would love that to be spread out through the city.

278
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:04,000
So I'm sure the mayor staff would love to hear from anybody who would like to collaborate.

279
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,000
We can add to the list.

280
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:10,000
And then of course, just to remind our libraries, our public spaces, those are open.

281
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:13,000
And we would encourage people to utilize that space as well.

282
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:16,000
And don't we fund the day center?

283
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:20,000
Councillor, I don't want to provide any wrong information.

284
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,000
But if you want to get me specific questions, I'll get you some answers.

285
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:24,000
Okay.

286
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,000
I think Councillor Dector, right?

287
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,000
Thank you. I have concerns too, especially as we know.

288
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:36,000
There's at least 11 apartment complexes in our community that are not providing adequate air conditioning.

289
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,000
We're getting different complaints.

290
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:41,000
So they definitely need to be around the city.

291
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,000
I understand the donation part.

292
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:48,000
I'm hearing as if we know community partners to go ahead and connect them to who in the mayor's office.

293
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:52,000
That would be the mayor's senior aid, Emily Hall specifically.

294
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:53,000
I think it'd be really great.

295
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,000
But any of us, okay, you connect us.

296
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,000
We'll get that collaboration going.

297
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:02,000
Can you also inquire about the city own facilities like the parks department, the community centers?

298
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:03,000
Yeah, sure.

299
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:07,000
The six park is definitely closer to our community than downtown.

300
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:14,000
And again, as I've always last time, if I'm a senior citizen or somebody with a young family living in southeast Tulsa,

301
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:19,000
my first instinct is not to go to the day center because I don't have adequate air conditioning.

302
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:24,000
But if that's who's volunteered, then certainly we can look to our faith community partners.

303
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:35,000
But I do think there are some park facilities outside of downtown that probably should be made available if they're already.

304
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:36,000
Absolutely.

305
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:37,000
We can.

306
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,000
I was wearing my mic cut.

307
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,000
That's my special powers.

308
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:42,000
Sorry.

309
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:45,000
No, we're just the best and the best mother go.

310
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:51,000
But I think the purpose of you coming to report on for a is to do rat backs to the things that we bring up.

311
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:52,000
Yeah sure.

312
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:55,000
And unfortunately you're in the seat that gets to do that.

313
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:58,000
But I see our staff also taking note.

314
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:03,000
So hopefully we get some more clarity on that before another week goes by.

315
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:04,000
I'll follow up by email as well.

316
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:05,000
You got it.

317
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:06,000
You got it.

318
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:07,000
Okay.

319
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:08,000
Thank you.

320
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:09,000
Okay.

321
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:10,000
Hold on.

322
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:11,000
Councillor Bangle.

323
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,000
You brought up animal.

324
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:17,000
No, I'm forced to share this.

325
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:22,000
I think folks might remember that I adopted or not adopted my goodness.

326
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:23,000
Yeah.

327
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:24,000
Let me.

328
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:25,000
Thank you for adopting.

329
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:31,000
I fostered a family of kittens.

330
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,000
The mother and five babies.

331
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,000
And we kept two of them.

332
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,000
JJ and meatball.

333
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,000
And they're very much named appropriately.

334
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,000
So meatball is a terrorist.

335
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,000
He's into everything.

336
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,000
He's so adorable though.

337
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,000
And then JJ has been sick his entire life.

338
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,000
He's got a cold right now.

339
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:54,000
And so my wife is just in love with this cat.

340
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:59,000
Because she's just had to take care of it since it's since we've had it.

341
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:06,000
And so when Kerry was talking about clear the shelters and the waiver of fees.

342
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:12,000
I think there were some numbers shared recently on people taking advantage of that.

343
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:18,000
And there were very significant the number of cats and the number of dogs that were rescued the shelter.

344
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:27,000
Again, just by this experience alone, I would recommend if you have room and you have, you know, kids with energy.

345
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:31,000
Great things to kind of direct their energy to.

346
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:35,000
So if you can support the shelter, please do.

347
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:36,000
I concur.

348
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:37,000
Thank you.

349
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:38,000
Thank you.

350
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:39,000
Okay.

351
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:40,000
Thanks.

352
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:43,000
Do we have any speakers on this mayor's report?

353
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,000
There are no speakers.

354
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:46,000
Okay.

355
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:51,000
So I'm going to read a couple of the items separately.

356
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:59,000
Item 4B will be the first one for be resolution approving issuance of indebtedness in an amount.

357
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:04,000
Not to exceed two million dollars by the Tulsa Authority for economic opportunity.

358
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:09,000
By issuance of its promissory note and other evidence of indebtedness.

359
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:14,000
In connection with the authorities loan from the John D. Catherine T.

360
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:23,000
MacArthur Foundation for a program-related investment loan regarding the equitable housing demonstration project.

361
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:27,000
This carries the emergency clause. Do we have any speakers on this item?

362
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,000
There are no speakers.

363
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,000
Sir council discussion.

364
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:35,000
Move to approve items for just for being.

365
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,000
Only for being.

366
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:38,000
Only for being.

367
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:41,000
Okay, move to approve item for being with the emergency clause.

368
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:42,000
Second.

369
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:43,000
Please call the roll.

370
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:44,000

Yes.

376
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:50,000
Councillor Bangle.

377
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:51,000
Yes.

378
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:52,000
Councillor Dr. Wright.

379
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:53,000
Yes.

380
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:54,000
Councillor Laken.

381
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:55,000
Yes.

382
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:56,000
Councillor Harker.

383
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:57,000
Yes.

384
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:58,000
Councillor Archie.

385
00:37:58,000 --> 00:37:59,000
Yes.

386
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:00,000
Okay.

387
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:03,000
Item 4B is approved with the emergency clause.

388
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,000
Next item will be for L.

389
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:12,000
Donation from Anchor's film company to the city of Tulsa for 24 large boulders used on

390
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:19,000
4th Street between Denver Avenue and Shai and Avenue now relocated to the green waste site.

391
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:22,000
Do we have any speakers on this item?

392
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,000
There are no speakers.

393
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:25,000
Council discussion.

394
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,000
Yes.

395
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:30,000
I'll make a motion to deny accepting the donation.

396
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,000
Second.

397
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:34,000
Okay.

398
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:35,000
There's a.

399
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:39,000
Please call the roll.

400
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:42,000
Councillor.

401
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:43,000
Yes.

402
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:44,000
Councillor Bellis.

403
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:45,000
Yes.

404
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:46,000
Councillor Gilbert.

405
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:47,000
Yes.

406
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,000
Councillor Bangle.

407
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:50,000
No.

408
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:53,000
Yes.

409
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:57,000
Councillor Bangle.

410
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:00,000
No.

411
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:01,000
Councillor Dr. Wright.

412
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:02,000
Yes.

413
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:03,000
Councillor Laken.

414
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:04,000
No.

415
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:05,000
Councillor Bush.

416
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:06,000
No.

417
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:07,000
Yes.

418
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:08,000
Yes.

419
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:09,000
Yes.

420
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,000
Okay.

421
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,000
Item is denied.

422
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,000
Moving back.

423
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:18,000
The remaining items.

424
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:20,000
Madam Chair.

425
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:21,000
Yes.

426
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:24,000
For those of you who don't know it just happened here, I would encourage you to.

427
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:34,000
Look at the discussion we had earlier today on the urban and economic development committee as to why we denied acceptance and what that means.

428
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:39,000
I don't want to belabor the point where we're running over time now, but we did have a very robust discussion.

429
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:42,000
And I think it's very clear if you will review it.

430
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:46,000
Madam, why you just saw a 630 on a donation.

431
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:49,000
It's no reflection on the Anchor Stone Company.

432
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,000
Thank you.

433
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:52,000
All right.

434
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:53,000
Moving on.

435
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:54,000
Items for.

436
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,000
See through.

437
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:57,000
Okay.

438
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,000
We'll not be read aloud.

439
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:02,000
However, public comments will be received on these items.

440
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,000
Do we have any speakers?

441
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:07,000
The three speakers are first speakers.

442
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:25,000
I'm a member of the company's Alexander for item 4D.

443
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:26,000
Good evening, council.

444
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:27,000
Good evening.

445
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:31,000
And audience.

446
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:36,000
This is very interesting to me because in April,

447
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:41,000
April 5th of 2019, I received the letter from Gary.

448
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:44,000
I don't know how to pronounce it in that last name, so I'm a spirit.

449
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:47,000
RHYS.

450
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:51,000
And in that, I'm going to read some from it.

451
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:58,000
It's claims that funding has no specific geographic area.

452
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:00,000
That's a lot.

453
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,000
Here you are.

454
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:11,000
Second of all, it referred to the 1974 community development act.

455
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:17,000
And in that act, at that time, by the president, I think, was president for it.

456
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,000
I'm not sure.

457
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:22,000
He made a community development block when stronger.

458
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,000
He added more money.

459
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:29,000
And one thing he did was to bring it back to the citizens.

460
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:34,000
Because at the time, people were complaining that the government was overstepping this bow.

461
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:37,000
And they couldn't get anything done.

462
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:40,000
Which is going on now with this government.

463
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,000
It's supposed to be by the people.

464
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:45,000
It comes from the bottom up from the people to the government,

465
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:48,000
not from the government to the people.

466
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:51,000
And you are wrong.

467
00:41:51,000 --> 00:42:01,000
And also, it also stated that over the last 20 years,

468
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:06,000
the use of this money has been changed.

469
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:14,000
It was not called a toss, but they changed it to all of toss as wrong.

470
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:19,000
So whether on the agenda tonight, it's completely wrong.

471
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:23,000
If there's anything light up here about this, it's the federal government.

472
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:25,000
I just spoke with it, put it right.

473
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:28,000
So any questions?

474
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:29,000
I know you can't answer me.

475
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,000
So I'm going.

476
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:37,000
This was put up by the city government.

477
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:38,000
Not by the people.

478
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,000
There were people there.

479
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:46,000
But it's nothing like the people that I know.

480
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:50,000
It was put into a plan in it too.

481
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,000
There's a problem.

482
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,000
We have a problem here.

483
00:42:54,000 --> 00:43:00,000
I always hear you talking about, you wanted to be a world-class city.

484
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:08,000
To be a world-class city, you can't be going along with every other city in the United States.

485
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:11,000
That means you have to stand up on your own.

486
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,000
Be different.

487
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:21,000
And when I see that from the city, I would stand up here for five minutes to tell you how good you have done.

488
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,000
Good evening, Councilor.

489
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:24,000
Good evening.

490
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:27,000
I want to speak on this item D2.

491
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:31,000
It has to do with herd monies.

492
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:40,000
And how those monies are being handled for the area that those monies are designated for.

493
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:47,000
Now, we know that herd monies have been designated for North Tulsa area.

494
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:55,000
And we know that the North Tulsa area has not been benefited from these lands as they should have been.

495
00:43:55,000 --> 00:44:00,000
This has to stop because this is wrong for you, some money.

496
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:06,000
That is being put in that area to strengthen that community.

497
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:20,000
There seems to be a problem allowing black people in Tulsa to really share in the community of the city of Tulsa.

498
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:32,000
Now, we know in 1921 white people, primarily white people, burned up a very prosperous black area.

499
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:43,000
And it's just terrible how what all happened with that situation.

500
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:54,000
But now, herd came in and has been given this city monies to help develop their community.

501
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:56,000
And it's about a fight.

502
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:59,000
It's about a battle.

503
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:00,000
Amen.

504
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:07,000
Not too long ago, I had to file a complaint with the EPA to get these and sue on water systems over there.

505
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:15,000
Because while suicide was backing up in the port grounds and the schools and like homes, why?

506
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:23,000
Why do we have to deal with things like that and have to write a formal federal complaint to get services?

507
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:40,000
People, a lot of the homes, over in the north, I guess they're being considered for taking away from the people who own the homes are forcing the people out of their homes.

508
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:46,000
I understand what all the confusion is about the homes when people own their homes.

509
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:59,000
I can talk about one home over there. My husband's father was a soldier and he received a purple heart for his service in the military.

510
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:07,000
He bought a home in that area to raise his two sons. My husband and his brother.

511
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:16,000
And my husband's parents have passed away, but the sons have inherited that property.

512
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:28,000
Now, because of a lot of the work that we have done on behalf of that community, that home has been targeted, tried to put a ring on the property, couldn't do that.

513
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:38,000
Took all the utilities out of the house, shut off the phone service, all services, bought it up the front door and the back door and left the window open.

514
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:42,000
Somebody has gone in there and stolen all the yard equipment.

515
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:56,000
We sent a code enforcement over there to try to penalize my husband and his brother for the yard not being taken care of.

516
00:46:56,000 --> 00:47:03,000
And other things have been taken from there. Now, we've been working in the North Tulsa community for a long time.

517
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:13,000
And we've been able to get things done. We've had a file for local clients to get things done and do and help each other.

518
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:19,000
You know, we have people in our group. We formed a neighborhood association over there very active.

519
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:24,000
It's bound with the state of Oklahoma.

520
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:34,000
But we had people that had that situation. We had it being treated with local hospitals.

521
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:49,000
We had to write to the senator. Senator Nichols office was very helpful to help people get the medical care that they were supposed to receive.

522
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:54,000
So I don't understand.

523
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:56,000
I understand.

524
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:58,000
1921.

525
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:04,000
But it's never stopped. It's continuing over in the North Tulsa community.

526
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:08,000
HUD funds. There are HUD funds that are designated for that area.

527
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:11,000
There's people that live in that area need help.

528
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:14,000
But you are the most people in the area. It's a benefit from the help.

529
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:23,000
The funds. You want to use the funds or other things. You want to consider what people's request are for services.

530
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:28,000
I mean, you let by made the streets deteriorate over there.

531
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:32,000
I had to write a federal complaint to get those streets redone.

532
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:35,000
I understand the attack.

533
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:36,000
Sorry.

534
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:37,000
Sorry.

535
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:38,000
It's very expensive.

536
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:40,000
It's my sentence.

537
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:51,000
A very vicious attack is ongoing for that North Tulsa community because it's predominantly African-American.

538
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:53,000
And every person.

539
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:54,000
Thank you, Ms. Bernice.

540
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:56,000
In this city matters.

541
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:57,000
Thank you.

542
00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:58,000
Thank you.

543
00:48:58,000 --> 00:48:59,000
Thank you.

544
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:00,000
Your time is up. Thank you.

545
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:02,000
And I would like for you all to consider it.

546
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:03,000
All right. Thank you.

547
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:04,000
Thank you.

548
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:06,000
Call the next speaker, please.

549
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:11,000
Our next speaker is Mr. John Hut finds for items for FJ and K.

550
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:14,000
I'll be ashamed of you for it.

551
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:16,000
If you don't have any time.

552
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:23,000
Then that would be a number of questions you want to talk.

553
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:28,000
Thank you, Councillors.

554
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:29,000
Gender item.

555
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:31,000
For F.

556
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:32,000
Machines are police department.

557
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:40,000
So I'm using this opportunity to express my gratefulness for our excellent Tulsa police department.

558
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:43,000
Gender item for J.

559
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:45,000
We be trees.

560
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:50,000
Donation of skilled tree work at beautiful Woodward Park is a blessing to Tulsa.

561
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:55,000
Pruning away a necessary material helps protect these nice seeders.

562
00:49:55,000 --> 00:50:03,000
Encourages healthy growth and creates a safer, more beautiful place for families, students, and visitors to enjoy.

563
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:07,000
Thank you, Councillors, for passing this.

564
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:08,000
I'm sure you will.

565
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:17,000
And allowing we be trees to invest their time, talent, and generosity in one of Tulsa's treasured parks.

566
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:20,000
This brings to mind master gardeners.

567
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:27,000
Here in Tulsa who graciously shared their knowledge at the Brookside Neighborhood Association meeting on Monday evening.

568
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:29,000
They're willing to teach and serve.

569
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:34,000
Reminds us that when people generously share their time, talents, and expertise.

570
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:39,000
Our neighborhoods, our parks, and our entire community flourishes.

571
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:44,000
We are grateful for everyone who invests in the beauty and well-being of Tulsa.

572
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:50,000
By the way, I still appreciate Councillor Bush's presentation when she came.

573
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:57,000
As well prepared, she communicated beautifully and addressed the neighbor's questions.

574
00:50:57,000 --> 00:51:03,000
As I hear about pruning, I am reminded of the words of the Lord Jesus who taught that our Heavenly Father,

575
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:10,000
lovingly tenses garden so that it becomes an even more fruitful, so that it becomes even more fruitful.

576
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:17,000
May His wisdom inspire each of us to continue to cultivate lives of kindness, service, and generosity.

577
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:26,000
I'm grateful to we be trees, our parks department, and everyone who shares their gifts to help Tulsa grow stronger, healthier, and more beautiful.

578
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:32,000
May God continue to bless our city and all who serve and all who serve.

579
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:36,000
God Almighty, we invoke your guidance.

580
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:42,000
Agenda item 4K, a deed of dedication by Tulsa Habitat for Humanity, Inc.

581
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:50,000
A property located at 2233 North Evanson Place City View Edition required for a lot split.

582
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:57,000
Scripture tells us in Psalms, God inhabits the praises of His people, Israel, Great Nation.

583
00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:02,000
We know we can build places for humanity.

584
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:03,000
This is great.

585
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:11,000
And it's also interesting to know that His people can create a habitat for our Lord to dwell in by praising Him.

586
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:12,000
Thank you.

587
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:14,000
Thank you, Mr. Half-Fines.

588
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:16,000
Is that the last speaker, Bailey?

589
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:17,000
There are no more speakers.

590
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:18,000
Okay.

591
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:20,000
Is there a council discussion?

592
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:26,000
Madam Chair, I will take a moment to comment on item J and just give a shout out to Webe trees,

593
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:29,000
who is located in District 2.

594
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:32,000
And just where there are continued support of our community.

595
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:35,000
So thank you Webe trees.

596
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:36,000
All right.

597
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:39,000
Any other council discussion?

598
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:44,000
We have to approve item 4C through 4K with the emergency clause on 4C.

599
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:47,000
Second, please call the roll.

600
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:48,000
Councilor Debt?

601
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:49,000
Yes.

602
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:50,000
Councilor Bellas?

603
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:51,000
Yes.

604
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:52,000
Councilor Gilbert?

605
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:53,000
Yes.

606
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:54,000
Yes.

607
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:55,000
Councilor Debt?

608
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:56,000
Yes.

609
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:57,000
Councilor Lincoln?

610
00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:58,000
Yes.

611
00:52:58,000 --> 00:52:59,000
Councilor Bush?

612
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:01,000
Yes.

613
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:02,000
Councilor Hal Harper?

614
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:03,000
Yes.

615
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:04,000
Councilor Archie?

616
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:05,000
Yes.

617
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:06,000
All right.

618
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:08,000
Items 4C through K are approved with the emergency clause on 4C.

619
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:10,000
5 authorities, boards and commission.

620
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:17,000
5A, monthly status report from the sales tax overview committee on current activities and efforts.

621
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:19,000
A lo Mr. Web.

622
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:21,000
Thank you, Chairwoman Gilbert.

623
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:23,000
It's good to see you, everyone.

624
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:24,000
My name is Ashley Web.

625
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:28,000
I chair the City of Tulsa's sales tax oversight committee.

626
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:36,000
We oversee all sales tax and general obligation bond funded projects from parks, public safety,

627
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:41,000
city architectural building services, transportation, vision and vision extension.

628
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:44,000
Previously, it also included stormwater and wastewater.

629
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:46,000
So just wanted to highlight that.

630
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:51,000
I do think that there is some value with our long serving membership.

631
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:55,000
Some of the institutional knowledge that our volunteers have learned.

632
00:53:55,000 --> 00:54:01,000
I think is invaluable and helping us accomplish the goals of the oversight committee.

633
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:06,000
So we've many of us have been appointed by multiple administrations.

634
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:11,000
Our during multiple administrations by multiple city counselors.

635
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:13,000
So I think there is some value there.

636
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:17,000
I want to thank Councillor Hall Harper for her appointment of miss of the Neshenese laws.

637
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:19,000
We look forward to having this laws.

638
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:20,000
They're not on committee.

639
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:21,000
Nice to meet you.

640
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:26,000
And I do want to acknowledge and thank my friend Mario Johnson, who's in his seventh year.

641
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:29,000
So being on the serving on the oversight committee.

642
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:31,000
And he is here to back me up today.

643
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:33,000
So thank you for being here.

644
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:37,000
The City Council is in receipt of our chair report.

645
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:41,000
I want Mrs. Silly Belabor that information.

646
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:54,000
I do want to highlight that our actual 2016 and 2023 sales tax program revenues have exceeded our adopted budget estimates of those programs.

647
00:54:54,000 --> 00:55:00,000
For the month of July, year over year, we were 2% above what that adopted budget was going to be.

648
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:04,000
So that was a $200,000 above what we've estimated for the year to date.

649
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:08,000
We're approximately $4 million in revenues above what we've estimated.

650
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:09,000
Awesome.

651
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:12,000
Always good to see in here that.

652
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:14,000
A few projects I wanted to highlight.

653
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:19,000
If you haven't been out, you can check on the progress of the Gilchrist Museum Road expansion.

654
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:21,000
I would encourage you to do so.

655
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:23,000
It is moving rapidly.

656
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:28,000
And I think that the one thing that I think is worth highlighting is the financial.

657
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:32,000
It's been provided to be able to complete this project within the allotted time.

658
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:36,000
It seems to be a good incentive.

659
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:40,000
I don't know how that translates to every other project that we have across the city.

660
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:43,000
But in the sense it would appear at least at this stage.

661
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:46,000
They will complete this project on time.

662
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:48,000
If not early.

663
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:51,000
Regarding the museum construction.

664
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:55,000
I would highlight that most of the art from the offsite storage facility.

665
00:55:55,000 --> 00:56:00,000
Was transferred back to the new museum location.

666
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:02,000
By the beginning of May.

667
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:08,000
The offsite storage location should be listed this month for sale.

668
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:14,000
Once that is sold, those proceeds will go back into some ad alternates and some additional items that

669
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:19,000
Hope to be implemented for day one operations at the museum.

670
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:23,000
So, and that looks to be.

671
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:25,000
I think some of those items were.

672
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:28,000
A conversion of the old maintenance or holocultural.

673
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:31,000
Horticulture building to a museum wood shop.

674
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:34,000
Actual garage doors for the for the large loading dock.

675
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:38,000
Beneath the amphitheater or the.

676
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:42,000
Performance space on the on the north west side.

677
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:44,000
Acoustical panels for noise reductions in the vista room.

678
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:46,000
Which I think is also going to be.

679
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:50,000
It's important and I wouldn't be surprised to see some.

680
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:52,000
Some usage for day one.

681
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:54,000
Additions to the landscaping.

682
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:56,000
So, additional projects.

683
00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:58,000
I do want to highlight some parks projects.

684
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:00,000
Fred Johnson Park.

685
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:02,000
Again, that's an 8.125 million dollar project.

686
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:06,000
Groundbreaking 9 a.m. on Friday.

687
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:10,000
One thing that when this was presented in detail to the STOC.

688
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:15,000
One thing that we made specific inquiry about was the cost and the.

689
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:19,000
Possible addition of water around the three.

690
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:21,000
Dog park areas right now.

691
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:25,000
At least the initial design only had water in one section of the park.

692
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:28,000
It was about a 40,000 dollar addition to put water.

693
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:31,000
Kind of in the center of those three dog parks.

694
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:36,000
There are approximately 700,000 dollars in savings on this project.

695
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:39,000
Which are looking to add the kind of the bioswale.

696
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:40,000
Ad alternates.

697
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:44,000
But could also be used to add water to that to those three dog parks.

698
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:46,000
So just encourage everyone to.

699
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:48,000
Potentially follow up on that.

700
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:50,000
I don't know what the final determination was.

701
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:52,000
Hill park improvements.

702
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:53,000
That's.

703
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:59,000
2.75 million dollars to improve the remaining four acres adjacent to the one acre.

704
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:00,000
Side on which.

705
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:04,000
The community center sits and coach reads foundation operates.

706
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:06,000
Community engagement sessions.

707
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:09,000
Have long been promised in our forthcoming.

708
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:11,000
They were supposed to be in July.

709
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:13,000
I'm hoping they're going to be in August.

710
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:15,000
I've not seen any announcement yet.

711
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:17,000
So we'll see.

712
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:21,000
Dreamkeeper Dreamkeeper's part.

713
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:25,000
Almost seven and a quarter million.

714
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:29,000
At this point, just wanted to highlight some historical things and encourage the the

715
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:31,000
counselors to.

716
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:34,000
To look closely at this one.

717
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:39,000
There's a I think a 78 page traffic study that governs that is.

718
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:42,000
Being.

719
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:45,000
Utilized kind of to.

720
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:49,000
To explain and probably justify the removal of the main street spur.

721
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:52,000
So if you haven't looked at that study, please do so.

722
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:55,000
That was completed in finalized.

723
00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:57,000
A couple months ago.

724
00:58:57,000 --> 00:59:01,000
The plans that we've seen do call for that spur to be removed.

725
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:03,000
Historically, one of our.

726
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:05,000
Better improve our Tulsa.

727
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:10,000
Street improvements was Main Street from 15th to 18th.

728
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:12,000
So we have.

729
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:17,000
Still a pretty brand new four lanes that will now go into a dead end.

730
00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:19,000
At 18th and.

731
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:24,000
Main with the current dreamkeeper design goes forward.

732
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:26,000
And I'm not.

733
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:29,000
Not speaking to the appropriateness or in a in a appropriateness.

734
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:30,000
So that design.

735
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:33,000
But what I am speaking to is I think currently we're looking at about

736
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:38,000
$700,000 additional for a three way stop light, which is what is now being called for.

737
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:43,000
If you remove that spur and you would probably have to expand.

738
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:48,000
18th Street to the west to accommodate the traffic then getting to Boulder.

739
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:52,000
So just everyone kind of take a look at that because those costs are not included in.

740
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:55,000
These costs for the part budget.

741
00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:58,000
So.

742
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:00,000
Just some city architectural building.

743
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:08,200
Services projects, project PR-25-18, that's the $18.9 million for the jail on the court's relocation.

744
01:00:08,200 --> 01:00:17,700
Still stands out as an anomaly, at least to me, in my 15-plus years. Normally we have a plan and then funding.

745
01:00:17,700 --> 01:00:26,900
Right now we have funding hanging out there in no plan. So, do very architects, I think, on the table to be brought in as a consultant.

746
01:00:26,900 --> 01:00:38,900
I assume that's to help further along this design and location identification, but just wanted to highlight that currently, all we have is a budgetary line item.

747
01:00:38,900 --> 01:00:47,900
Lastly, the 815 South Riverside Drive, the CRIBB Hill Project, that's $250,000.

748
01:00:47,900 --> 01:00:54,900
Sun cost, already spent from the 2006 sales tax for the statute.

749
01:00:54,900 --> 01:00:58,900
Initially, we were told we were not going to be on the hook for the storage cost.

750
01:00:58,900 --> 01:01:05,900
Apparently we were on the hook for the storage cost since January, at $2,500 a month, so that's $20,000 through this month.

751
01:01:05,900 --> 01:01:15,900
We've had two geo-text studies that we know of. One up top, where is originally supposed to go, one down low at the current proposed location.

752
01:01:15,900 --> 01:01:20,900
The conditions at the bottom of the hill are different than the conditions at the top of the hill.

753
01:01:20,900 --> 01:01:28,900
We don't have a cost on this geo-text studies. Last time I drove by over the weekend, I didn't see that we had started in a construction.

754
01:01:28,900 --> 01:01:44,900
So, I don't know what the costs are above the $250,000 in the $20,000 for the storage, but this would continue to appear to be somewhat of an unforester that has cost that we don't have handle on.

755
01:01:44,900 --> 01:01:56,900
So, I think that's the limit of what I had to highlight.

756
01:01:56,900 --> 01:02:00,900
Well, thank you very much for those highlights, Mr. Webb.

757
01:02:00,900 --> 01:02:04,900
Counselors, any questions from Mr. Webb? Yes, Councillor Villas.

758
01:02:04,900 --> 01:02:07,900
Just two quick questions.

759
01:02:07,900 --> 01:02:13,900
One is going back to the dreamkeeper's park piece, because I believe the original plans were to vacate.

760
01:02:13,900 --> 01:02:19,900
And like that area of road to create better connectivity with how there's that veteran's memorial monument.

761
01:02:19,900 --> 01:02:23,900
That's like very hard for folks to access and it's separate from the rest of the park.

762
01:02:23,900 --> 01:02:28,900
We're talking about moving that potentially. Oh, okay. So, I think that's still.

763
01:02:28,900 --> 01:02:32,900
So, I'm talking about physically moving it, but still also vacating the road.

764
01:02:32,900 --> 01:02:36,900
Right, that would be. I don't know if you've seen the full design. I did not bring the renderings, but I couldn't.

765
01:02:36,900 --> 01:02:38,900
I haven't probably not the latest version. Okay.

766
01:02:38,900 --> 01:02:43,900
It's kind of a combination of the three renderings that maybe had been presented to the council previously.

767
01:02:43,900 --> 01:02:52,900
But it would still have an elevated feature to the park, you know, where that current monument is and then connect into a public plaza.

768
01:02:52,900 --> 01:03:01,900
There would be at least some sort of a stage space that if facing north could accommodate as many as 6,000 people facing the green space,

769
01:03:01,900 --> 01:03:05,900
could accommodate supposedly as many as 15,000 people.

770
01:03:05,900 --> 01:03:11,900
So, I'm just to clarify, you were saying that to actually do then a very road construction wasn't in the existing budget.

771
01:03:11,900 --> 01:03:16,900
It's not in this budget. And based upon the cost that we've been in.

772
01:03:16,900 --> 01:03:20,900
The S-T-O-C has been presented previously related to three ways.

773
01:03:20,900 --> 01:03:28,900
Stop lights. Most recently, I would point the council to the ones that were installed by O-A-S-S-Market on North Korea.

774
01:03:28,900 --> 01:03:34,900
Okay. Those costs now continue to be estimated to us at around 700,000.

775
01:03:34,900 --> 01:03:45,900
And if you look at the width of 18th going then west towards Boulder, I would submit it probably is going to have to be expanded as well.

776
01:03:45,900 --> 01:03:47,900
So, there will be costs like that.

777
01:03:47,900 --> 01:03:56,900
Okay. That's helpful. And then as a quick note related to, and I'm not sure what's been presented to you know, for to you all.

778
01:03:56,900 --> 01:04:01,900
Okay. And I don't want to talk about 1815 reverse side drive further, but at the same time.

779
01:04:01,900 --> 01:04:07,900
Because if the other initial plan had gone forward and just to clarify to my council colleagues.

780
01:04:07,900 --> 01:04:12,900
And things had been submitted to draw down the state funding and pair everything.

781
01:04:12,900 --> 01:04:15,900
And the sharp development planned most recently had gone forward.

782
01:04:15,900 --> 01:04:18,900
They would have been taken care of the sculpture.

783
01:04:18,900 --> 01:04:24,900
And do we know if that would have included, was that ever presented to you all if that included the installation as well?

784
01:04:24,900 --> 01:04:28,900
Or would we have always been in a position, I guess, for restoring it?

785
01:04:28,900 --> 01:04:33,900
We're still trying to drill down on exactly the costs of what we're looking at.

786
01:04:33,900 --> 01:04:42,900
So, my understanding was that $250,000 necessarily went to the artist contract, but I don't, I have not looked at that contract in a long time.

787
01:04:42,900 --> 01:04:43,900
Okay.

788
01:04:43,900 --> 01:04:44,900
Okay.

789
01:04:44,900 --> 01:04:51,900
So, I don't know where, but what we're trying to identify is just what have we spent and what are we spending today?

790
01:04:51,900 --> 01:04:58,900
The geotech studies may be pursuant to an existing city contract, but we haven't gotten us numbers yet.

791
01:04:58,900 --> 01:05:08,900
And initially, we were also under the impression that we were not going to be on the hook for storage costs, because that's why we were leaving the statue or the sculpture in Florida for the time being.

792
01:05:08,900 --> 01:05:11,900
But now it appears that's changed.

793
01:05:11,900 --> 01:05:15,900
Thank you for your legitimate citizen oversight.

794
01:05:15,900 --> 01:05:18,900
It's very appreciated.

795
01:05:19,900 --> 01:05:25,900
All right. I have Councillor Dutton, then Councillor Dector Wright and Councillor Archie.

796
01:05:25,900 --> 01:05:31,900
Yeah, so thank you for your questions. Councillor Bellas.

797
01:05:31,900 --> 01:05:42,900
I was also concerned about the timeframe and the storage fees that we're going to continue to incur.

798
01:05:42,900 --> 01:05:55,900
Is there anything that we can kind of cling to that put some of this to rest and saves our taxpayers, the money here?

799
01:05:55,900 --> 01:05:58,900
I think we need to put it up as quickly as possible.

800
01:05:58,900 --> 01:05:59,900
Yeah.

801
01:05:59,900 --> 01:06:05,900
And I was feel better if Mary Beth Babcock were involved, because apparently she can put these up very quickly.

802
01:06:05,900 --> 01:06:12,900
I think we need to be careful because that the issue of that statue is an on the agenda as a separate item.

803
01:06:12,900 --> 01:06:17,900
So I, I'd hesitate to have a full discussion about it.

804
01:06:17,900 --> 01:06:21,900
Okay. Well, thank you very much for leaving that to the end.

805
01:06:21,900 --> 01:06:26,900
This is something that we can all cry on our pillows tonight when we get home.

806
01:06:26,900 --> 01:06:34,900
So it would be, it would be nice if we could at least have it up at that location by next year's toss of time.

807
01:06:34,900 --> 01:06:37,900
Thank you so much for your presentation. Thank you.

808
01:06:37,900 --> 01:06:42,900
So for clarification, Caroline, so this was part of his report.

809
01:06:42,900 --> 01:06:47,900
Can they not ask questions about the crying baby?

810
01:06:47,900 --> 01:06:54,900
I think you could ask some clarifying questions, but I was getting the sense that a full blown discussion was starting.

811
01:06:54,900 --> 01:06:58,900
Okay. All right. Fair enough. Councillor Dictary.

812
01:06:58,900 --> 01:07:03,900
Thank you, Mr. Webb, for your continued leadership.

813
01:07:04,900 --> 01:07:09,900
It sounded at the amount of information that you all received at the council right now is not receiving.

814
01:07:09,900 --> 01:07:21,900
And so I appreciate your transparency, all the committee work and everything, but I have a growing concern that we're getting the most transparency when you all come before us.

815
01:07:21,900 --> 01:07:29,900
So I also just want to say today we had a discussion about the powers of the council.

816
01:07:29,900 --> 01:07:34,900
I think we need to look further into some of the things that we're hearing here.

817
01:07:34,900 --> 01:07:40,900
Especially as we talk about fiduciary responsibility and cost containment.

818
01:07:40,900 --> 01:07:44,900
I will just re-amplify my comments from earlier today.

819
01:07:44,900 --> 01:07:48,900
We are the art culture and humanities capital of the state.

820
01:07:48,900 --> 01:07:51,900
We hold ourselves out that way. We market ourselves out that way.

821
01:07:51,900 --> 01:07:55,900
Things like this at the citizens vote for to help spur economic development.

822
01:07:55,900 --> 01:08:03,900
And so when we have ongoing issues like this, couch around public art, whether it's boulders that we're really never for an art project,

823
01:08:03,900 --> 01:08:09,900
or an actual art project that now has turned into ongoing costs and bigger questions.

824
01:08:09,900 --> 01:08:13,900
I think we have to be really careful about what we're doing and how we're doing it.

825
01:08:13,900 --> 01:08:21,900
And so I do think as the council should not just receive reports from the sales tax overview committee, which I greatly appreciate.

826
01:08:21,900 --> 01:08:24,900
I know how often you guys meet and you have the subcommittee work.

827
01:08:24,900 --> 01:08:36,900
You guys go out in the field and visit and lay eyes on things and our in places and spaces where we can't be, which is why it's so important to have dedicated volunteers.

828
01:08:36,900 --> 01:08:43,900
Providing oversight and that's an ongoing conversation that we continue to have about the other investments we make with city dollars.

829
01:08:43,900 --> 01:08:51,900
So I just, maybe we need to, when do you all meet? When do you guys have your meetings?

830
01:08:51,900 --> 01:08:55,900
The fourth Tuesday of every month at 8 a.m.

831
01:08:55,900 --> 01:08:56,900
On the tenth floor.

832
01:08:56,900 --> 01:08:57,900
On the tenth floor.

833
01:08:57,900 --> 01:08:59,900
And those aren't live streamed, right?

834
01:08:59,900 --> 01:09:00,900
Right.

835
01:09:00,900 --> 01:09:02,900
So they're open to the public.

836
01:09:02,900 --> 01:09:03,900
They are open to the public.

837
01:09:03,900 --> 01:09:08,900
I'm going to suggest that our chair and vice chair and the rest of us start figuring out who's going to these meetings,

838
01:09:08,900 --> 01:09:11,900
because we can't wait for Mr. Web to come to us.

839
01:09:11,900 --> 01:09:17,900
And as long as we continue to not get this information directly, while I appreciate a monthly status report,

840
01:09:17,900 --> 01:09:23,900
I think we're going to have to start moving a little more quickly on some of these areas of concern,

841
01:09:23,900 --> 01:09:28,900
because all you can do is present it to us and then we ask a question and then a month goes by.

842
01:09:28,900 --> 01:09:36,900
So thank you for your continued diligence and Ms. Jenkins and Mr. Johnson and all the folks who come here all the time in all your committee.

843
01:09:36,900 --> 01:09:39,900
And we each have two representatives from our district.

844
01:09:39,900 --> 01:09:44,900
So I love how the sales tax overview committee is structured.

845
01:09:44,900 --> 01:09:50,900
It is something that some of us have proposed need to exist in other oversight entities.

846
01:09:50,900 --> 01:09:56,900
And I just think we as councilor are probably going to have to divide and conquer an ADM Tuesday meeting,

847
01:09:56,900 --> 01:10:00,900
so that we can start getting this information sooner and then go ask our questions,

848
01:10:00,900 --> 01:10:02,900
because all they can do is just present it to us.

849
01:10:02,900 --> 01:10:05,900
We actually have the authority to investigate.

850
01:10:05,900 --> 01:10:11,900
We also have the authority to ask our staff to go get more information that maybe even you all would benefit from.

851
01:10:11,900 --> 01:10:12,900
So thank you.

852
01:10:12,900 --> 01:10:13,900
I appreciate that.

853
01:10:13,900 --> 01:10:17,900
And councilor, I want to say a special thanks to Steve Lassman in the Parks Department.

854
01:10:17,900 --> 01:10:21,900
He's been an excellent liaison in his new role in the last year,

855
01:10:21,900 --> 01:10:30,900
but he had arranged for us to have a specific presentation at our last general meeting here on the 10th floor.

856
01:10:30,900 --> 01:10:35,900
We're regarding Dream Keepers Park and we will forward that information that we received to the city council.

857
01:10:35,900 --> 01:10:36,900
Thank you.

858
01:10:36,900 --> 01:10:39,900
All right, I have council don't leave yet.

859
01:10:39,900 --> 01:10:41,900
I have councilor Archie and Bangle.

860
01:10:41,900 --> 01:10:42,900
Yes.

861
01:10:42,900 --> 01:10:43,900
Thank you so much.

862
01:10:43,900 --> 01:10:49,900
I am very concerned about the storage because I thought they were going to cover it now.

863
01:10:49,900 --> 01:10:50,900
They're not.

864
01:10:50,900 --> 01:10:51,900
I wonder if we can get them any back.

865
01:10:51,900 --> 01:10:56,900
But Johnson Park, we're very excited about it.

866
01:10:57,900 --> 01:11:03,900
The centralized waterfront rooms that you're talking about are those for humans or for dogs.

867
01:11:03,900 --> 01:11:06,900
They're the centralized water services.

868
01:11:06,900 --> 01:11:08,900
We're going to be near that splash pad.

869
01:11:08,900 --> 01:11:12,900
So kind of in the center of the park at the west end of the existing parking lot.

870
01:11:12,900 --> 01:11:14,900
So but it's a large park.

871
01:11:14,900 --> 01:11:17,900
And so everyone would need to come.

872
01:11:17,900 --> 01:11:19,900
Leave where they are to come to that location.

873
01:11:19,900 --> 01:11:20,900
We want for sure.

874
01:11:20,900 --> 01:11:21,900
But so.

875
01:11:21,900 --> 01:11:22,900
But where they.

876
01:11:22,900 --> 01:11:24,900
You spoke about them.

877
01:11:24,900 --> 01:11:25,900
Like they were dog.

878
01:11:25,900 --> 01:11:26,900
Boy found something.

879
01:11:26,900 --> 01:11:30,900
So I don't know if it was going to be a full water fountain with one of the smaller ones for the dog.

880
01:11:30,900 --> 01:11:31,900
Okay.

881
01:11:31,900 --> 01:11:33,900
But that was going to be the sole source of water.

882
01:11:33,900 --> 01:11:36,900
If you needed it for for thirst or for your animals.

883
01:11:36,900 --> 01:11:39,900
And there was not going to be any water at the three dog park.

884
01:11:39,900 --> 01:11:41,900
Location.

885
01:11:41,900 --> 01:11:42,900
Okay.

886
01:11:42,900 --> 01:11:43,900
All right.

887
01:11:43,900 --> 01:11:48,900
So they indicated that it would be about a $40,000 addition to to bring that to include that.

888
01:11:49,900 --> 01:11:54,900
And then there were other savings that were that were are being realized that potentially

889
01:11:54,900 --> 01:12:02,900
are going to that kind of bio swell feature, which would be immediately to the west of the dog park.

890
01:12:02,900 --> 01:12:03,900
Location.

891
01:12:03,900 --> 01:12:04,900
Thank you so much.

892
01:12:04,900 --> 01:12:06,900
Councillor Bangle.

893
01:12:06,900 --> 01:12:07,900
Yeah.

894
01:12:07,900 --> 01:12:09,900
Actually, thank you.

895
01:12:09,900 --> 01:12:13,900
It's interesting to learn some of the information that you shared tonight.

896
01:12:13,900 --> 01:12:17,900
And Athena, obviously, is a new STOC member.

897
01:12:17,900 --> 01:12:25,900
Obviously, I think it's relevant that you see exactly why this is important to us and that we have citizen oversight.

898
01:12:25,900 --> 01:12:31,900
And so I think when we talked about, you know, citizens serving on ABCs.

899
01:12:31,900 --> 01:12:37,900
It's important that they see how important they even are to us as a legislative body.

900
01:12:37,900 --> 01:12:47,900
The only question that I really have actually is on the guilt crease.

901
01:12:47,900 --> 01:12:51,900
Do you does everything for that specific project?

902
01:12:51,900 --> 01:12:57,900
Outside the street widening.

903
01:12:57,900 --> 01:13:03,900
Does the rest of the project seem to be on pace to be completed when we anticipate it?

904
01:13:03,900 --> 01:13:08,900
I think they're on site now beginning the installation of the fabricated exhibits.

905
01:13:08,900 --> 01:13:12,900
That was the last one of the largest pieces to be funded.

906
01:13:12,900 --> 01:13:15,900
It was about I think 18 to 20 million.

907
01:13:15,900 --> 01:13:24,900
So they're in the process of putting the pieces together for what you and I will see when they open in 2027.

908
01:13:25,900 --> 01:13:28,900
Okay, I'm excited about that.

909
01:13:28,900 --> 01:13:38,900
There was a temporary road on the east side of Gil Creek's Museum Road near Pine that will now be converted in properly into that kind of ten foot wide.

910
01:13:38,900 --> 01:13:41,900
Sidewalk that you will see run all the way to 412.

911
01:13:41,900 --> 01:13:44,900
That was put in strictly to allow our work to be transported.

912
01:13:44,900 --> 01:13:48,900
And it was done by all accounts.

913
01:13:48,900 --> 01:13:50,900
Well without any issue.

914
01:13:50,900 --> 01:13:59,900
Okay, so and the spiral staircase is you know the floating staircase has been finally finished and the skylight is installed and does not leak.

915
01:13:59,900 --> 01:14:12,900
Yeah, I'm just on pants and needles because there's like it actually turned me on to what was a Benjamin Franklin's traveling declaration then we own.

916
01:14:12,900 --> 01:14:16,900
No, but I'm saying that's the one that he traveled Europe with correct.

917
01:14:16,900 --> 01:14:26,900
Yeah, I'm excited to see that if nothing else right because I haven't made it to, you know, some of our places in Washington.

918
01:14:26,900 --> 01:14:40,900
I'm just excited to see all the artwork and things so thank you for the work of you and the rest of the folks who sit on our sales tax oversight committee.

919
01:14:40,900 --> 01:14:42,900
We appreciate it.

920
01:14:42,900 --> 01:14:45,900
Thank you, Mr. Web. Appreciate you.

921
01:14:45,900 --> 01:14:50,900
Do we have any speakers on item 5A?

922
01:14:50,900 --> 01:14:54,900
We have one speaker, Mr. John Huffines.

923
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:11,000
Thank you, Councillors. I'm also grateful for Mr. Ashley Webb and his leadership of the STOC and his report.

924
01:15:11,000 --> 01:15:20,000
And the Unity and Harmony demonstrated by the sales tax overview committee as they come together to produce this report.

925
01:15:20,000 --> 01:15:27,000
Their collaborative spirit, strength and trust, and helps guide wise decisions for our city.

926
01:15:27,000 --> 01:15:35,000
And under parts, we have seen supporting documentation regarding our public zoo, a place celebrating the beauty of nature.

927
01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:40,000
It offers opportunity to appreciate creation and our Creator.

928
01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:45,000
God, the Father, and His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you all.

929
01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:47,000
Thank you, Mr. Huffines.

930
01:15:47,000 --> 01:16:08,000
All right, item 5b final plaque for a strat for the ridge consisting of 100, 9 lots, 7 blocks on 3.51 acres located east of the southeast corner of east 11th street south and south 100 and 60 first east Avenue. Do we have any speakers?

931
01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:11,000
There are no speakers. Council discussion?

932
01:16:11,000 --> 01:16:14,000
I move to approve item 5b.

933
01:16:14,000 --> 01:16:16,000

Repealing all ordinances are parts of ordinances and conflict here with providing severability containing other provisions related.

948
01:17:15,000 --> 01:17:18,000

974
01:19:36,000 --> 01:19:38,000
Councilor Archie.

975
01:19:38,000 --> 01:19:39,000
Yes.

976
01:19:39,000 --> 01:19:40,000
Thank you chair.

And so last year we had close to 400 folks and so we're expecting even more.

985
01:20:21,000 --> 01:20:24,000
But come and connect with folks in the community.

986
01:20:24,000 --> 01:20:27,000

987
01:20:27,000 --> 01:20:33,000

988
01:20:33,000 --> 01:20:34,000
All right.

989
01:20:34,000 --> 01:20:37,000
Councillor Bangle.

990
01:20:37,000 --> 01:20:41,000
Yeah, I got the finger when I said I wanted to speak.

991
01:20:41,000 --> 01:20:43,000
Yeah, not the middle one.

992
01:20:43,000 --> 01:20:44,000
But anyway.

993
01:20:44,000 --> 01:20:45,000
Number one.

994
01:20:45,000 --> 01:20:46,000
You're number one.

995
01:20:46,000 --> 01:20:51,000
I heard the word pruning earlier and I immediately thought of two people on both sides of me.

996
01:20:51,000 --> 01:20:58,000
Councillor Lake and today is his birthday so we want to congratulate him on his birthday.

997
01:20:58,000 --> 01:21:01,000
And then I don't think we're in.

998
01:21:01,000 --> 01:21:06,000
We have council next week and I think your birthday is coming up in four days.

999
01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:07,000
Is that not right?

1000
01:21:07,000 --> 01:21:12,000
So congratulations and happy birthday to both of our colleagues.

1001
01:21:12,000 --> 01:21:18,000
I think it's self-explanatory.

1002
01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:20,000
All right.

1003
01:21:20,000 --> 01:21:23,000
I think we're all a little delusional now after today.

1004
01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:24,000
Yes.

1005
01:21:24,000 --> 01:21:27,000
Happy birthday Councillor Lake and I think it has to do with.

1006
01:21:27,000 --> 01:21:30,000
All right.

1007
01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:33,000
I do have an announcement.

1008
01:21:33,000 --> 01:21:34,000
Okay.

1009
01:21:34,000 --> 01:21:38,000
I just want to remind everyone about our district five meeting.

1010
01:21:38,000 --> 01:21:43,000
It's going to be held on Tuesday August 11th from 6 to 7 at the Tulsa Tech.

1011
01:21:43,000 --> 01:21:48,000
Limley campus and we have our city auditor coming to speak to us.

1012
01:21:48,000 --> 01:21:51,000
So Councillor Bellas.

1013
01:21:51,000 --> 01:21:52,000
Just really quickly.

1014
01:21:52,000 --> 01:21:59,000
This is a birthday present for Councillor Lake and I want to remind people about our letter on a stick laws related to campaign signs because it's the season.

1015
01:21:59,000 --> 01:22:04,000
People have them all over the place and public rights of way by, you know, stop signs, etc.

1016
01:22:04,000 --> 01:22:09,000
And I have started pulling a Councillor Lake in and pulling them of all varieties.

1017
01:22:09,000 --> 01:22:12,000
But I have been redistributing them to people who support those candidates.

1018
01:22:12,000 --> 01:22:15,000
But just reminding folks you can't just put them anywhere and everywhere.

1019
01:22:15,000 --> 01:22:17,000
It's not legal.

1020
01:22:17,000 --> 01:22:18,000
All right.

1021
01:22:18,000 --> 01:22:19,000
Thank you.

1022
01:22:19,000 --> 01:22:21,000
Any other announcements?

1023
01:22:21,000 --> 01:22:23,000
All right.

1024
01:22:23,000 --> 01:22:28,000
We're moving on item eight B district five project plan number two.

1025
01:22:28,000 --> 01:22:36,000
That will use council district community development priority project funds from and prove our Tulsa to for the installation of a water fountain.

1026
01:22:36,000 --> 01:22:38,000
Seems to be the theme today.

1027
01:22:38,000 --> 01:22:41,000
Darlington Park in the amount of $50,000.

1028
01:22:41,000 --> 01:22:43,000
Do we have any speakers?

1029
01:22:43,000 --> 01:22:44,000
There are no speakers.

1030
01:22:44,000 --> 01:22:45,000
Council discussion?

1031
01:22:45,000 --> 01:22:46,000
I want to ask.

1032
01:22:46,000 --> 01:22:50,000
Why does their water fountain cost 40, but yours cost 50?

1033
01:22:50,000 --> 01:22:51,000
No.

1034
01:22:51,000 --> 01:22:52,000
It's.

1035
01:22:52,000 --> 01:22:55,000
Well, ours also has a meter that we have to install.

1036
01:22:55,000 --> 01:22:56,000
There you go.

1037
01:22:56,000 --> 01:22:57,000
There you go.

1038
01:22:57,000 --> 01:23:00,000
Well, if you wanted to know.

1039
01:23:00,000 --> 01:23:02,000
Right.

1040
01:23:02,000 --> 01:23:03,000
I'm astounded.

1041
01:23:03,000 --> 01:23:05,000
I'm sorry.

1042
01:23:06,000 --> 01:23:08,000

01:26:47,000 --> 01:26:51,000
Miss Ellis Gander, you don't have any time left.

1137
01:26:51,000 --> 01:26:57,000
Oh, only got to speak for five minutes on one item, and I can only speak for one item only for five minutes.

1138
01:26:57,000 --> 01:27:00,000
You have five minutes, put it in here for all media.

1139
01:27:00,000 --> 01:27:01,000
Correct.

1140
01:27:01,000 --> 01:27:02,000
Yep.

1141
01:27:02,000 --> 01:27:03,000
Okay.

1142
01:27:03,000 --> 01:27:05,000
So I'm going to leave a word with you anyway.

1143
01:27:05,000 --> 01:27:10,000
The Bible says that a good man leads an attempt for his children's children.

1144
01:27:10,000 --> 01:27:13,000
So your battle is not what Alexander's in North Tulsa.

1145
01:27:13,000 --> 01:27:14,000
All right.

1146
01:27:14,000 --> 01:27:15,000
Thank you, Miss Alex Anderson.

1147
01:27:16,000 --> 01:27:17,000
That's not on the item.

1148
01:27:17,000 --> 01:27:18,000
So thank you very much.

1149
01:27:18,000 --> 01:27:19,000
All right.

1150
01:27:19,000 --> 01:27:21,000
I'm going to do we have any council discussion.

1151
01:27:21,000 --> 01:27:23,000
I'm moved to approve item eight.

1152
01:27:23,000 --> 01:27:24,000
I.

1153
01:27:24,000 --> 01:27:25,000
Yes.

1154
01:27:25,000 --> 01:27:26,000
Second.

1155
01:27:26,000 --> 01:27:27,000
I'm tired.

1156
01:27:27,000 --> 01:27:29,000
I think all of us are very tired.

1157
01:27:29,000 --> 01:27:30,000
All right.

1158
01:27:30,000 --> 01:27:31,000
Please call the roll.

1159
01:27:31,000 --> 01:27:32,000
Council.

1160
01:27:32,000 --> 01:27:33,000
Yes.

1161
01:27:33,000 --> 01:27:34,000
Council.

1162
01:27:34,000 --> 01:27:35,000
Yes.

1163
01:27:35,000 --> 01:27:36,000
Council.

1164
01:27:36,000 --> 01:27:37,000
Council.

1165
01:27:37,000 --> 01:27:38,000
Yes.

1166
01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:39,000
Council.

1167
01:27:39,000 --> 01:27:40,000
Yes.

1168
01:27:40,000 --> 01:27:41,000
Council.

1169
01:27:41,000 --> 01:27:42,000
Council.

1170
01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:43,000
Yes.

1171
01:27:44,000 --> 01:27:54,000
Councillor Lake in your nominated to provide the post-trip report.

1172
01:27:54,000 --> 01:27:55,000
Councillor.

1173
01:27:55,000 --> 01:27:56,000
Councillor.

1174
01:27:56,000 --> 01:27:57,000
Councillor.

1175
01:27:57,000 --> 01:27:59,000
Balsas is going to take that off your plate.

1176
01:27:59,000 --> 01:28:00,000
All right.

1177
01:28:00,000 --> 01:28:01,000
Item number nine.

1178
01:28:01,000 --> 01:28:02,000
No items this week.

1179
01:28:02,000 --> 01:28:05,000
10 hearing of appeals.

1180
01:28:05,000 --> 01:28:11,000
Hearing impossible action upholding or denying an appeal to the city of Tulsa to the city Council.

1181
01:28:11,000 --> 01:28:15,000
Requested by Mr. Additula.

1182
01:28:15,000 --> 01:28:19,000
So is this just for clarification?

1183
01:28:19,000 --> 01:28:27,000
And is this an actual appeal, or is it, what are we doing?

1184
01:28:33,000 --> 01:28:36,000
Hello, Councillor Scaree Father Gil, public advocate.

1185
01:28:36,000 --> 01:28:40,000
City of Tulsa. Mr. Additula is on steady on his feet.

1186
01:28:40,000 --> 01:28:44,000
So I told him he could stay right there and we will get him a microphone.

1187
01:28:44,000 --> 01:28:52,000
He, this is an official appeal, but tonight he wants just to say thank you.

1188
01:28:52,000 --> 01:28:56,000
Mr. Additula, do you want me to read your statement?

1189
01:28:56,000 --> 01:29:00,000
Yes. And I'm in a readestatement from him to the council.

1190
01:29:00,000 --> 01:29:02,000
From him.

1191
01:29:02,000 --> 01:29:08,000
The subject, appreciation for city councils effort and preserving property.

1192
01:29:08,000 --> 01:29:12,000
Dear members of the city council, I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude

1193
01:29:12,000 --> 01:29:18,000
for the diligent efforts undertaken by the council to prevent the demolition of my property.

1194
01:29:18,000 --> 01:29:24,000
Your commitment to the well-being and preservation of our community has not gone unnoticed

1195
01:29:24,000 --> 01:29:28,000
and I'm sincerely thankful for your unwavering support.

1196
01:29:28,000 --> 01:29:32,000
I am filled with immense joy and gratitude for positive outcome

1197
01:29:32,000 --> 01:29:38,000
and I am truly appreciative of the dedication and hard work exhibited by each of you.

1198
01:29:38,000 --> 01:29:44,000
Your actions have not only saved my home, but have also demonstrated your dedication to serving the community.

1199
01:29:44,000 --> 01:29:50,000
To the six members seeking reelection, I have a full confidence in your capabilities and leadership.

1200
01:29:50,000 --> 01:29:56,000
I am certain that with your continued efforts, our city will thrive and prosper.

1201
01:29:56,000 --> 01:30:00,000
This unite in our endeavors to secure reelection and further enhance.

1202
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:07,000
The positive impact we have on our community, in closing. I extend my best wishes to each member of the council.

1203
01:30:07,000 --> 01:30:17,000
Your commitment to public services is commendable and I am grateful for your ongoing support. May you all be blessed with continued success in your endeavors.

1204
01:30:17,000 --> 01:30:24,000
Thank you once again for your invaluable contributions and unwavering dedication, warm regards.

1205
01:30:24,000 --> 01:30:29,000
Thank you.

1206
01:30:29,000 --> 01:30:30,000
That was very nice.

1207
01:30:30,000 --> 01:30:36,000
So I do believe that there is a construction plan in place. You have a copy of it.

1208
01:30:36,000 --> 01:30:42,000
So I believe that means code enforcement is thumbs up or all good.

1209
01:30:42,000 --> 01:30:49,000
We will continue monitoring though to make sure that the construction agreement continues as stated.

1210
01:30:49,000 --> 01:30:52,000
And so I'm going to hand it over to Mr. Attitude.

1211
01:30:52,000 --> 01:30:57,000
I'm going to sit down. He has a microphone. So if you want to ask him any questions or give him an opportunity.

1212
01:30:57,000 --> 01:31:02,000
Brand, do you have anything that you would like to add?

1213
01:31:02,000 --> 01:31:07,000
Brand pitch for code enforcement. So I think you'll have a copy of the construction schedule.

1214
01:31:07,000 --> 01:31:12,000
We also have a copy of Mr. Attitude and Mr. Walker's contract for deed.

1215
01:31:12,000 --> 01:31:17,000
So we're welcome the opportunity to do monitoring this case and continue to monitor it.

1216
01:31:17,000 --> 01:31:25,000
We do ask either that Mr. Attitude with draw his appeal or the council deny the appeal so that we can follow the sign order and monitor his property.

1217
01:31:25,000 --> 01:31:29,000
Okay.

1218
01:31:29,000 --> 01:31:34,000
Mr. Attitude, do you want to say anything before we?

1219
01:31:34,000 --> 01:31:36,000
I'm fine.

1220
01:31:37,000 --> 01:31:44,000
Just point of clarification. We either need to have him with draw or we can just make a motion to deny and then that drops it.

1221
01:31:44,000 --> 01:31:49,000
Just administratively, basically.

1222
01:31:49,000 --> 01:31:51,000
Yes.

1223
01:31:51,000 --> 01:31:54,000
Okay.

1224
01:31:54,000 --> 01:32:04,000
Denying the appeal would basically kind of put it back to as if there was no appeal and it would be kind of between the two to work on it.

1225
01:32:04,000 --> 01:32:10,000
The sign order would be in place and you know, couldn't force it would be.

1226
01:32:10,000 --> 01:32:13,000
The sign order which he appealed.

1227
01:32:13,000 --> 01:32:14,000
Yeah.

1228
01:32:14,000 --> 01:32:19,000
If it was denied that would allow us to follow through with sign order and monitor and accept his construction schedule.

1229
01:32:19,000 --> 01:32:23,000
And it's it's set to be completed in like mid or late.

1230
01:32:23,000 --> 01:32:24,000
Okay.

1231
01:32:24,000 --> 01:32:29,000
So if it gets further along the road and we're 80% done then we'll extend and let him work longer.

1232
01:32:29,000 --> 01:32:31,000
So councilor, can I just make a motion?

1233
01:32:31,000 --> 01:32:35,000
Okay. I moved to deny item 10 A.

1234
01:32:35,000 --> 01:32:36,000
Second.

1235
01:32:36,000 --> 01:32:37,000
Oh, yes.

1236
01:32:37,000 --> 01:32:39,000
That it was on Vanessa.

1237
01:32:39,000 --> 01:32:43,000
Please call the roll for the denial.

1238
01:32:43,000 --> 01:32:44,000
Councillor.

1239
01:32:44,000 --> 01:32:45,000
Yes.

1240
01:32:45,000 --> 01:32:46,000

1241
01:32:46,000 --> 01:32:48,000
The happy SDS.

1242

Councillor Gilbert.

1243
01:32:49,000 --> 01:32:50,000
Yes.

1244
01:32:50,000 --> 01:32:51,000
Of course.

1245
01:32:51,000 --> 01:32:53,000
Councillor Bingo.

1246
01:32:53,000 --> 01:32:54,000
Yes.

1247
01:32:54,000 --> 01:32:55,000
Thank you, sir.

1248
01:32:55,000 --> 01:32:56,000
Councillor Dector Wright.

1249
01:32:56,000 --> 01:32:57,000
Yes.

1250
01:32:57,000 --> 01:32:58,000
Councillor Bush.

1251
01:32:58,000 --> 01:32:59,000
Yes.

1252
01:32:59,000 --> 01:33:00,000
Councillor Harpers.

1253
01:33:00,000 --> 01:33:01,000
Yes.

1254
01:33:01,000 --> 01:33:02,000
Councillor Archie.

1255
01:33:02,000 --> 01:33:03,000
Yes.

1256
01:33:03,000 --> 01:33:04,000
All right.

1257
01:33:04,000 --> 01:33:05,000
The appeal is denied.

1258
01:33:05,000 --> 01:33:08,000
So thank you very much.

1259
01:33:08,000 --> 01:33:09,000
All right.

1260
01:33:09,000 --> 01:33:11,000
11 hearing a public comments.

1261
01:33:11,000 --> 01:33:13,000
No items this week.

Item 12.

1263
01:33:14,000 --> 01:33:15,000
We are finally adjourned.
