Report from City Councilors 6. Adjournment h City ut Limits. TO: The Honorable Chairman and Trustees of the Owasso Public Works Authority FROM: John W. Feary Project Administrator SUBJECT: Santa Fe Lift Station and Force Main Improvements Change Order #1 DATE: August 10, 2012 BACKGROUND: In accordance with the 2005 Wastewater Master Plan and in order to comply with an Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality Consent Order (No. 10-036), which was issued in January 2010, these improvements will upgrade the Santa Fe Lift Station and Force Main to provide adequate pumping capacity and conveyance for current and future wastewater flows from the Ranch Creek Interceptor. During the construction process, and due to the significant excavation affiliated with the lift station, staff realized that any future connections to the wet well structure would be very difficult and expensive due to the depth required for future influent gravity lines. Included in the current budget is the design of the new Ranch Creek Interceptor, which will be needed for future development on the west side of U.S. 169. In order to facilitate that future connection to the wet well, the current design has in place a 36" opening to be capped with a blind flange fitting at the wet well structure. The designed influent line will be approximately 27' below the top of the wet well. At that depth, excavation in such close proximity will result in substantial shoring costs, as well as the removal of newly installed decorative fence and landscaping at the Santa Fe site. Staff proposes the installation of two (2) 18' long joints of 36" pipe from the wet well penetration to the west in alignment with the proposed future Ranch Creek Interceptor upgrade. The installation of this pipe will extend the line 36' from the west wall of the lift station and allow access for the future connection with little to no disturbance at the new Santa Fe site. The contractor has proposed a cost of $14,000 for this work. City staff has been in direct contact with the design engineer who feels that this change order is necessary and the price is in accordance with current construction fees of this nature. FUNDING: Funding for the construction of this project has been obtained from the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) via a loan from the Clean Water State Revolving Fund. This change order would be funded through the loan's budgeted contingency category. The current contingency budget line item available in this project is $122,292. PROPOSED ACTION: Staff intends to recommend approval of Change Order #1 for the Santa Fe Lift Station and Force Main Improvement Project in the amount of $14,000 adjusting the total contract amount to $2,650,700.

Stephenson, City Planner SUBJECT: Annexation - Powderhorn Ranch DATE: August 10, 2012 BACKGROUND: The City of Owasso received a request for annexation for a 49.94 adre piece of property known as the Powderhorn Ranch. The subject property is in Tulsa County and zoned AG (Agriculture). The applicant is petitioning the City of Owasso to annex the property and then rezone it to allow for residential development. SURROUNDING ZONING: Direction Zoning Use Land Use Plan RS-3 North (Small Lot Residential Residential City of Single-Family Owasso Residential South A ric G ural Residential Residential Tulsa County RS-3 East (Small Lot Residential Residential City of Single-Family Owasso Residential AG -R West (Agriculture- Residential Residential Tulsa County Residential ANALYSIS: The City of Owasso received a request for the annexation of approximately 49.94 acres of land. The subject property is located on the west side of North Mingo Road approximately one- quarter mile north of East 106th Street North. The subject property lies in an area prone to flooding, with a portion of the property in the 100 and 500 year floodplain and floodway of Ranch Creek. Access to the majority of the property would be facilitated through the construction of a bridge over Ranch creek that would provide access to N Mingo Rd, with a secondary access point through the Hillside Addition to the north of the property. If the property is annexed into the City of Owasso, the applicant will be required to follow City of Owasso development procedures, which include rezoning, and the approval of preliminary and final plats. If annexed, any development proposed for the property would be required to meet the a Owasso Zoning Code and the Owasso Subdivision Regulations and any appropriate site engineering standards as prescribed by the Public Works Department including, but not limited to, stormwater detention, paved streets and sidewalks. Staff published legal notice of the annexation petition in the Owasso Reporter on June 29, 2012, and letters of notification were mailed to property owners within a 300' radius of the subject property. . L' DEVELOPMENT PROCESS: Once the property development proposal shows a division of lots that is acceptable to both the developer and the City of Owasso, a final plat application is submitted. A final plat illustrates the layout and dimension of lots included on the final plat, right-of-way widths, easements, and other physical characteristics that must be provided for review by the City. After obtaining approval from the TAC and Planning Commission, the final plat is considered by the City C. Council. If approved, the final plat is filed with the office of the County Clerk and governs all future development on that property. ANNEXATION COMMITTEE: The Owasso Annexation Committee met on July 25, 2012 and recommended approval of the annexation request. PLANNING COMMISSION: A, r The Owasso Planning Commission will review this item at their regular meeting on August 13, 2012. PROPOSED ACTION: Staff intends to recommend City Council approval of the annexation of the Powderhorn Ranch development property, subject to Planning Commission recommendation. ATTACHMENTS: A.

Stephenson, City Planner SUBJECT: Final Plat - 96th Street North Center DATE: August 10, 2012 BACKGROUND: The City of Owasso received a final plat for review and approval of the 96th Street North Center. The subject property is 2.2 acres in size and is comprised of two (2) lots on one (1) block. The eastern lot will be the site for a new Braum's Ice Cream and Dairy Store. SURROUNDING ZONING: Direction Zoning Use L n Us Plan Jurisdiction CG North (Commercial Vacant Commercial Tulsa County General South AG A ricultural Agriculture Commercial City of Owasso East AG Single-Family Commercial Tulsa County A ricultural Residential CG West (Commercial Vacant Commercial Tulsa County General ANALYSIS: The final plat for the 96th Street North Center consists of two (2) lots on one (1) block on approximately 2.2 acres. The applicant is platting the property for the purposes of developing a Braum's Ice Cream and Dairy Store and holding an available commercial lot. The subject property is located approximately 332' east of the northeast corner of E 96th St N and N Garnett Road. The final plat proposes access onto E 96th St N in the form of three (3) Limits of Access (LOA) points. The two easternmost LOA's will be the shared driveway points that will serve the 96th Street North development, with the western LOA being combined with a Mutual Access Easement (MAE). The western MAE will serve the 96th Street North Center development and will be a shared entrance with the property located west of the subject property, once that property is annexed and platted. Another MAE is proposed at the northeastern portion of the plat that will allow the sites to connect with future development to the east and to the north with the intent of providing cross access to reduce the number of traffic conflict points on arterial streets. Staff is working with the developer and surrounding property owners to develop a comprehensive approach that will ensure this important commercial corridor develops in a safe 54 I- yet attractive manner. There is a perimeter utility easement shown on the plat that will provide utility companies' access to service the development. TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE: The Technical Advisory Committee reviewed the preliminary plat for the 96th Street North Center at their regularly scheduled meeting on July 25, 2012. The TAC comments are attached. PLANNING COMMISSION: The Owasso Planning Commission will review this item at their regular meeting on August 13, 2012.

Stephenson, City Planner AW SUBJECT: Proposed Zoning Code Amendment - Planned Unit Development Chapter DATE: August 10, 2012 BACKGROUND: The Quality of Life Initiative Final Report that was adopted by the City Council in April 2011 included guidelines for the future development of Owasso. One area where citizens expressed interest during the public workshops and through the on-line Wikiplanning survey was ensuring that our neighborhoods were safe, attractive, sustainable, and livable. Subsequent to receiving these comments, staff renewed its review of the Zoning Code in greater detail to determine where improvements could be made that follow the principals of the Quality of Life Initiative. The PUD (Planned Unit Development) process is the preferred vehicle of choice for developers of single family subdivisions in Owasso. Nearly all new subdivisions being platted are using the PUD process. The main reason for this is the flexibility allowed in lot size dimension. The RS-2 and RS-3 by-right zoning districts restrict the lot widths to 75 feet and 65 feet respectively; however, the market has changed in the past ten years, with both home and lot sizes seeing reductions in size. The most common request for lot widths with new PUD applications is 50 feet, which is 15 feet less than what the RS-3 zoning district allows. Flexibility is the key benefit of the PUD process. A PUD is essentially negotiated zoning and, as such, the developer is asking for relief to the underlying by-right zoning restrictions. What most cities, including Owasso, have done, is allow this flexibility in exchange for additional amenities or open space as part of the development. W While this has worked to some degree in Owasso, there have been some inconsistencies in terms of the amenities being provided and usable areas of open space. Additionally, staff has encountered several PUD's that were approved over five (5) years ago that were never activated, primarily due to the slowdown in the economy. The current ordinance is ambiguous with respect to what constitutes an amenity or useable open space; what happens to an expired PUD; and what determines if it is expired or not. Additionally, the ordinance is silent on what the minimum requirements are for a PUD submission and exactly how much density is allowed and how it is measured. Owasso has had great success through the use and implementation of PUD's and these proposed changes would only strengthen the PUD process. PROPOSED TEXT AMENDMENT TO THE OWASSO ZONING CODE: The attached document is a draft of the proposed change to the Owasso Zoning Code. Additionally, the comparison sheet outlines the areas that would be impacted by the changes to the zoning code. REASON FOR THE PROPOSED CHANGE: TIMELINE: This item is for discussion purposes only at this time. Staff intends to bring this item before the Owasso Economic Development Authority and the Planning Commission for initial discussion. Staff will also gather public input on the proposed changes and bring a finalized version of the chapter back for final review by the Planning Commission and the City Council. ATTACHMENTS; A. Draft, PUD Chapter B. Summary of Changes CHAPTER 8 PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENTS 8.1 INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE A Planned Unit Development (PUD) is a special zoning overlay that provides alternatives to conventional land development. Upon approval, it becomes a supplement to the existing zoning of the subject property. A PUD is also a means of encouraging creative development of land and promotes project design that is often unseen in conventional devel seen as a tool to circumvent the zoning and subdi of Owasso, but rather as a tool for intellige developments that fit within Owasso's existin the surrounding area. A PUD provides flex' on properties with unique physical ch design and providing guidelines which tM the City of Owasso's future growt ea special restrictions which will all m procedures are established herein to en flexibility. 8.2 GOALS op, PUD shall not be r lations of the City - fanned, and quality ds and context of al - he development by' iny, innovative develop eneficial to Ability is provide of othe ermitted, isuse of a increased AW&qter flexi ovould be allowed with the ific goal, t need. a accomplished with each D's be evalu on their ability to accomplish the W X an f Life in Owasso 2.

Y x 2. Approval of a Conceptual Development Plan is required prior to development of a PUD district. Comprehensive Development Plans are subject to recommendation by the Planning Commission and approval by the City Council. 3. 5; This PUD chapter shall complement the other sections of the Owasso Zoning Code. In instances where the requirements are conflicting, the Community Development Administrator shall deters the correct action. A Conceptual Development Plan shall be request for rezonigS. 8.4 MINIMUM STANDARDS DENSITY By their very nature, PUD's are de unique or unusual, natural or man- development that mak of and be necessary to cluster v density is proposed, additi promote and maintain usea op that comolen.the existi rrently with a Noop parcel f ff land with tions.

Multi -Faq+Residential Densities - Multi-family densities shall be consistent with Chapter 4 of the Owasso Zoning Code. All multi-family residential developments shall be accomplished through a PUD. B. LAND USE PERCENTAGES In any residential PUD, at least 20% of the gross area of the tract shall be devoted to open space, common areas or amenities. Rights-of-way and utility easements shall not apply to open space calculations. C. PRESERVATION OF TREES AND OTHER NATURAL FEATURES PUD's shall be designed to preserve and enhance the existing physical characteristics of the land and the natural vegetation that exists on the land. Projects that require clear cutting or denuding of large tracts of land for development are discouraged. Trees in excess of eight (8) inches in caliper shall be preserved and worked into the overall design of the project, unless the applicant can provide substantial justification to remove said trees. Tree preservation credits shall be applied to all landscaping plans and additional landscaping shall be required for projects that remove excessive healthy vegetation. NAM Of? D. SCREENING AND BUFFERING Screening is an important part of any PUD p ecially when incompatible uses are proposed within t , o adjoinirEg, developments. Screening may be empl a fo 1.

TRAN USES Great c all be :given as to the location of the more intense uses or densitie ithin the PUD. Transition shall be achieved when possible by placing less intense uses alor}g the perimeter of the PUD area with more intense uses near the center of the PUD. For example, if a PUD is proposed in an area that abuts mostly acreage lots, the PUD should place larger lots meeting RE or RS-1 standards along the perimeter and move towards smaller lots within the core of the PUD area or along arterial streets. If transition cannot be achieved, a large and well-vegetated buffer should be provided. F. CONCEPTUAL LANDSCAPE PLAN REQUIRED Each PUD shall require a landscape concept plan at the time of submittal. The landscape plan shall depict general locations for landscaping, but shall not be required to go into great detail on the conceptual plan. Trees, however, shall be shown on the conceptual landscape plan. More detailed landscape plans may be required in the later stages of the development process in conformance with the City's adopted landscape requirements, or if the Administrator or Planning Commission deems it necessary during at the conceptual landscape phase.

If the site plan is to be used as the preliminary plat, it must contain all of the required elements for preliminary plat approval outlined in the subdivision regulations of the City of Owasso. If the PUD is approved with a site plan that is sufficient to be used as a preliminary plat, the applicant may proceed to the final plat stage.

Sections 8.90-8.99 Reserved Highlights of PUD Chapter Changes • Open Space sr Old Code: Simply states that open space "must be an essential element of the Plan". New Code: Requires that projects have 20% open space (excludirtig rights of way and utility easements) as a percentage of the gross acreage and that 25% of this area be developed and maintained for active or passive recreation. • Expiration 41 Old Code: Somewhat ambiguous. Parts of the code imply it is valid only for three (3) years if no building permit has been issued, while other areas state that a PUD expires in 2 (two) years if no final development plan has been submitted and seems to mix language between final development plan and a plat. The code makes no reference as to what construes a final development plan. There is also some language that alludes to a contract that guarantees completion of any single phase within five (5) years, with the condition that the project could otherwise be revoked by the Planning Commission. New Code: Clearly states that if any portion of the project or if a building permit is issued within five (5) years after approval by the City Council, the project is validated. If none of these items occurs, then the project is considered expired and must be re-approved. There is also a clearly outlined process for asking for an extension, whereas the current code provides no guidance in this area. x~ • Amenities Old Code: Some amenities are required based upon the density proposed. New Code: The new code builds upon the old code, but clarifies the amenities required based on the type of development and density. A table is provided that allows the designer to customize their amenity package based on the density proposed. There is also more emphasis on providing amenities for residential development. At least four (4) types of amenities are required for any PUD, and if a neighborhood proposes a higher density than 4 units per acre, one additional amenity from any category shall be required for each 0.5 units per acre over 4. • Major and Minor Amendments Old Code: These are outlined in the existing code. New Code: These will be similar to the existing code, but with a clearly defined process and description of what defines a major and minor amendment. K-L • Minimum Requirements for Conceptual Development Plans Old Code: Required, but somewhat unclear as to what should be included in the conceptual development plan. Most developers provide the necessary documentation, but there are some areas that are a vague in terms of what is actually required. New Code: Ensures that correct and uniform information is provided that will assist the decision-making bodies in reviewing the project. The plans will also work with the design intent statement to fully articulate what the development will look like. • Design Intent Statement Old Code: Not required New Code: Adds more specificity as to what are the minimum requirements. The design intent statement is an important document because it is a part of the PUD approval. It outlines the plan, the design, covenants, timeline, and other important aspects of the project. • Neighborhood Meeting Old Code: Not required New Code: A neighborhood meeting would be required prior to the item being heard by the Planning Commission. This is a great opportunity for the developer to present the item to surrounding property owners, gain input, listen to concerns, and possibly make changes that Y would benefit both parties. It also helps the developer with gaining approval at the Planning Commission and City Council, because they can report on their efforts to work with the neighbors and listen to their concerns. _t .d 90T City W , _ ut Limits. TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council City of Owasso FROM: Bronce L. Stephenson City Planner SUBJECT: Proposed Zoning Code Text Amendment - Pool and Accessory Structure Setback Requirements DATE: August 10, 2012 BACKGROUND: The Owasso Zoning Code is a document that requires updating and/or clarification on a periodic basis. In working with applicants and developers, staff has discovered that the required setbacks for pools and other accessory structures in residential zoning districts requires a ten (10) foot setback from side and rear property lines. In many cases this setback is greater than is required for the primary structures on the property. Considering this, the larger setback seems to be greater than necessary. Additionally, the current development trends are for smaller lots in residential subdivisions, which have much less yard area for swimming pools and other accessory structures. Staff feels that a reduced setback equal to the required building setbacks for the zoning district of the lot is more appropriate. For instance, an RS-3 (Small Lot Single-Family Residential) lot would allow for a five (5) foot setback, but an RE (Residential Estate) lot would require a fifteen (15) foot setback. These rules would apply to in-ground pools only, with above- ground pools still requiring a ten (10).,foot minimum setback for an RS-3 lot. Most residential lots have a 17.5 or 11 foot utility easement at the rear of the property that would be more restrictive than any required setbacks. The proposed ordinance would continue to read that no pool or other structure can be built within an easement. The Owasso Planning Commission held an initial discussion at the Special Meeting on July 2, 2012. At that meeting, the Planning Commission suggested that staff include language with any proposed text amendment allowing the Administrator from the Community Development Department flexibility in making determinations about the appropriate setback for pools, and only allowing for five (5) foot setbacks in some cases. Staff considered this and included language that provided flexibility to the Administrator to make determinations in this area. PROPOSED TEXT AMENDMENT TO THE OWASSO ZONING CODE: 240.2 Permitted Yard Obstructions Obstructions are permitted in required yards as follows: (A) Cornices, canopies, eaves, and similar architectural features may project into a required yard. (B) Fire escapes may project into a required yard. (C) Fences, hedges, plant materials, and walls may be located in any yard provided that on any corner lot on which a front and side yard is required, no wall fence, sign, structure, or any plant growth which obstructs sight lines at elevations between two (2) and six (6) feet above the crown of the adjacent roadway shall be placed or maintained within a triangle formed by measuring from the point of intersection of the front and exterior side lot lines a distance of 25 feet along said front and side lot lines and connecting the points so established to form a "sight triangle" on the area of the lot adjacent to the street intersection. Fences and walls within yards shall not exceed the city height of eight (8) feet. Any fence or wall which projects into or encloses a required front yard shall not exceed a height of four (4) feet. The Board of Adjustment, as a Special Exception, may modify these limitations. (D) Signs which are permitted in residential districts may be located within any yard which is bounded by a public street. (E) In the RS Residential Districts, a detached accessory structure may be located in a required rear yard provided (1) the structure or structures do not cover more than 20 percent of the area of the minimum required rear yard and, (2) the total gross floor area for any accessory building or buildings located in the rear yard, required rear yard, and or both, shall not exceed 750 square feet. (The Board of Adjustment upon application, and after notice and public hearing, may grant a special exception of E (2) above.) (F) tubs, Swimming pGollt, hot Tennis courts, patios, satellite dishes, and protective shelters shall be located in the rear yard and shall have a minimum setback of t8R (I five (5) feet from any side yard or rear lot lines. The walls of all in-around swimming pool® shall be placed no closer to the edge of any property line than the required building setbacks of the zoning district in which the property Is located. A minimum five (5) foot setback shall be maintained for any pool and no portion of any pool or equipment shall encroach into any easement. All above-ground pools shall be a minimum of ten (10) feet from any property line and shall not encroach into any easement. Diving boards, slides, or other appurtenances may not be placed within any. required setback or within any easement. The Administrator may modify the provisions of this code in certain circumstances where it may be necessary to ensure the safety and privacy of adjoining neighbors. However, the Board of Adjustment may, upon application and after public hearing, permit the aforementioned accessory uses in the front yard provided; (1) the minimum front yard requirement is adhered to, and (2) a minimum setback of ten feet from any side lot line is met. PLANNING COMMISSION: The Owasso Planning Commission will review this item at their regular meeting on August 13, 2012. PROPOSED ACTION: Staff will recommend approval of the proposed zoning code amendment and will prepare an ordinance for Council consideration eD, p TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council City of Owasso FROM: Roger Stevens Public Works Director Julie Trout Lombardi City Attorney and General Counsel SUBJECT: Right-of-Way 86th & Memorial DATE: August 10, 2012 BACKGROUND: In the summer of 2010, the City of Owasso began the process of acquiring private property along 86th St N between Main St. & Memorial Road in Owasso, OK as public right-of-way (ROW) in accordance with the 86th Street North, Main to Memorial roadway widening project. In the early stages of acquisition, the acquisition agency retained by the City, Terra Acquisitions, was provided a set of plans with existing ROW as well as needed ROW for the project. The western most property on the south side of 86th Street is currently owned by three siblings of the DeBoer family. It originally appeared that the DeBoer family dedicated the necessary ROW in 1983. The referenced ROW was comprised of 50' along Memorial Road and 60' along 86th Street North (See attachment A). After construction on the widening project commenced, the three siblings who currently own the property, Dale DeBoer, Lee DeBoer and Shirley Hess, stated that they were only aware of 50' of ROW along 86th Street North. City staff obtained the documentation dated 1983 wherein their father Robert DeBoer conveyed the property to the three heirs less & except 60' & 50' of right-of- way in question. Upon examination of the quit claim deed dated 1983, staff discovered that the father deeded the land to the children, less & except the aforementioned ROW. However, there was no evidence of a conveyance document from Robert DeBoer to Tulsa County or the City of Owasso conveying said ROW. This discovery indicated that at the time Mr. DeBoer passed away the land had not been deeded to his children, Tulsa County, or Owasso. Therefore, the land was divided among his children as a part of his estate. At this point in the process, the City of Owasso obtained a new title opinion to verify these findings. Upon confirmation that the ROW was never obtained, city staff approached the heirs with the quit claim deed and asked if the heirs would honor the wishes of their father. The heirs declined to do so and asked for approximately $500,000 for the purchase of the ROW in question. City staff hired a licensed appraiser who determined the value of the ROW to be approximately $56,775. On July 27, 2012, Rodney Ray and John Feary met with Dale & Lee DeBoer at Shirley Hess's residence with an offer letter of $113,550, an amount equivalent to twice the fair market value. Mr. Ray additionally presented a right of entry/right to construct document for signature by the three land owners. This document would allow the construction to proceed while acknowledging that negotiations for purchase of the ROW would continue. Both offers were rejected by the owners the following week. RECOMMENDATION: Acquisition of the ROW from the DeBoer property is critical to the 86th Street widening project. Given that all avenues to either purchase or otherwise gain lawful access to the property have been exhausted, staff will recommend that the City Council approval a resolution to authorize proceeding with a condemnation action to obtain the required ROW and the temporary construction easement needed for the 86th Street widening project.

TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council City of Owasso FROM: Sherry Bishop Assistant City Manager, Administrative Services SUBJECT: Utility Billing Water Rate Changes for FY 2013 DATE: August 8, 2012 1 x BACKGROUND: The City of Tulsa gave notice that the rate they charge the OPWA for water will increase by 7% or $0.18 per thousand gallons effective October 1, 2012. The City Manager proposed a rate increase in his FY 2012-2013 budget in anticipation of the increase by the City of Tulsa, as well as other cost increases. The OPWA adopted the City Manager's proposed budget for FY 2013 to include additional revenues of $425,000 based on rate increases for the water, wastewater, and refuse services. The following rate changes were included in the OPWA budget: • Water Rate increase of $0.28 per 1000 gallons usage (includes $0.18 City of Tulsa rate increase); o Revenue increase of $150,000; • Wastewater ,10 Rate increase of $0.40 per 1000 gallons usage; 9 Revenue increase of $250,000; , • Refuse Rate increase of $0.25 per cart per month; Revenue increase of $25,040. During budget discussions, the City Council indicated an interest in alternative water rate structures that could reduce the impact of rate increases on low-income and senior customers whose water usage is very low. Water Rates Currently all customers within the city (single-family residential, multi-family residential, commercial, and industrial) are billed at the some base rate and usage rate (the rates for customers outside the city are 20% more than within the city). An alternative rate structure would provide various "base" rates depending on water meter size and a tier of usage rates depending on volume of water used. A tiered usage rate structure establishes usage ranges with increasing rates for higher volume water usage. The tiered rate provides different usage rates for low, medium and high usage customers with as many tiers as desired. Water Usage Tiers Winter and summer water usage was reviewed for typical usage patterns. Summer usage varies drastically with the temperature and rainfall. The February 2012 billing was close to the average for December through April water usage, so that data was used to analyze OPWA water customer usage patterns. In a tiered rate structure, a high-volume water customer is charged the same rate as a low- volume customer for the first and second thousand gallons of water used. For example, the high-volume customer is not billed the highest rate for each of 50 thousand gallons of water used, but the rate applicable to each tier of usage and the highest rate for all usage above the top usage tier. N ANALYSIS: h Based on these usage patterns, with an effort to balance the interests of all customers and minimize the impact of rate increases to the low usage customers, the following usage tiers are recommended. February 2012 t July 20 12 Data Rate % of % of total % of % of total e increase customers usage customers usage Usage Rate Tiers thousand not included in not included in exceeding this rate tier exceeding this rate tier usage this usage this usage se (314" Meter) $0.09 16% 14% 12% 7% 2,000 $0.18 13% 13% 7% 7% 3,000 - 5,000 $0.23 40% 26% 22% 16% 6,000 -10,000 $0.28 23% 14% 24% 18% 11,000 - 20,000 $0.32 5% 7% 19% 18% 21,000 or more $0.37 3% 26% 16% 34% The original water rate increase proposal was for a $0.28 per thousand increase for all water usage. This tiered rate proposal would increase rates by $0.28 only on usage of more than 6 thousand gallons per month. The base rate for usage of 1000 gallons or less would increase by only $0.09, passing on only half of the Tulsa rate increase. The revenue increase for this tiered rate structure would be approximately $1,700 less per month than a $0.28 increase for all usage based on winter consumption patterns and approximately $1,100 per month more based on high summer consumption patterns. Proposed usage tiers and rate changes: Usage Rate Tiers Current Usage Rate Proposed Increase Proposed Usage Rate Base (314" Meter) $4.44 $0.09 $4.53 2,000 $4.44 $0.18 $4.62 3,000 - 5, $4.44 $0.23 $4.67 6,000 - 10,000 $4.44 $0.28 $4.72 11,000 - 20,000 $4.44 $0.32 $4.76 21,000 or more $4.44 $0.37 $4.81 L Base (Meter) Charge Customer account data includes meter sizes, but that data is not presently used for billings purposes. So these should be considered estimated meter counts. The chart below lists the approximate replacement cost (including labor) for each meter size and the monthly cost if that cost was amortized over the 10-year life of the meter. Meter Size Estimated Replacement Monthly Current Base Quantity Cost of Meter / Amortized Cost Meter Charge Labor 10 ears 3/41" 8,630 260 2.17 11.01 1 " 158 365 3.04 11.01 1 '/2 96 570 4.75 11.01 2" 193 725 6.04 11.01 3" 23 2,425 20.21 11.01 4" 8 $3,115 25.96 11.01 6" 2 4,955 41.29 $11.01 METER RECOMMENDED BASE C : Below are the proposed changes for the monthly base charge for each meter size with an estimated increase in monthly revenue. As previously noted in the proposed tier rates, the rate increase for the residential size (3/d'") meter is $0.09 (only 50% of the City of Tulsa increase to Owasso). The large meter rate changes would bring those rates within a range more appropriate with their cost of service.

TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Counc City of Owasso FROM: Larry White Support Services Director SUBJECT: Audio/Visual Report Recording of City Council Meetings DATE: August 10, 2012 BACKGROUND: At the July 10, 2012 City Council work session, Councilor Charlie Brown requested a study of the cost and process to record City Council meetings. Since that time, staff has worked to compile a report of all necessary data for discussion at the August 14, 2012 City Council work session. AUDIO RECORDING: The objective of this project is to make audio recordings of City Council meetings easily accessible to the public. The challenge of this project is recording, storage, and retrieval management of audio recordings and related documents. The current sound system owned by the City of Owasso needs enhancements to convert analog audio recordings to a digital format. This would allow streaming of data as well as archive and data management. The City would need to purchase a digital recorder, auto gain microphones, data capture software, and additional microphones to accommodate any recording environment. This would require a one-time upfront cost of approximately $9,000. This equipment would be compatible for additional recording enhancements in the future. In order to provide a reference tool to the public for data retrieval, the agenda and related attachments from each audio recording will need to be imported into a data system. While audio recordings do not provide the option for searching on specific topics, some data systems allow search capabilities based on Agenda topics or specific words which are entered into the system. Staff feels the best way to manage the recordings and documents is by utilizing a professional service. There are several providers of this type of service. The cost of these services ranges from approximately $200 per month to $500 per month depending on the types of services and options elected. The professional services and related data systems are generally managed as follows: • Capture the public record with audio recording and synchronized documents using one software application • Manage records with intuitive editing and publishing tools Import or upload an existing agenda or create a new agenda o Add notes, enter or highlight keywords, time stamp the data, and edit the agenda during the meeting o Turn on live streaming o Synchronize agenda items and notes with the audio recording o Attach minutes and other associated documents o Track roll calls, motions, and votes of each Council member • Share the public record using powerful searching, browsing, Live and On-Demand Streaming services, downloads or physical media o Publish content to our website for public access o Provide live streaming services o Search limited text (including keywords) to hear the associated audio recording o Store and manage online content easily and securely Benefits of the professional service include: VIDEO RECORDING: In order to provide video recording capabilities for public viewing, video equipment (including a camera) would need to be purchased. This equipment is estimated to cost $13,000. Professional services for this added communication feature would increase the monthly cost by around $1,000 per month. This means the total cost for audio and video professional services would range from $1,200 per month to $1,500 per month. PROPOSED ACTION: This item is fobdiscussion purposes only at this time. Further action will be at the discretion of the City Council. 11 TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council City of Owasso FROM: Chelsea M.E. Harkins Economic Development Director SUBJECT: Contract Agreement for Economic Development Consulting Services DATE: August 10, 2012 BACKGROUND: Retail development has made Owasso a destination community over the last ten years. Owasso has become a collection point for consumers over a 4,300 square mile area. This consumer draw from a strategically aligned highway system is familiarly known as "the funnel" and creates a customer base of over 410,000 for businesses and retailers. Owasso's retail growth has allowed the city to top the state charts in sales tax per capita. In the last few years, Owasso's primary economic development focus has turned to creating primary, quality jobs. Job growth offering high salaries and benefits will help sustain the retail development, diversify the housing market, and increase quality of life. While remaining steadfast in that pursuit, it is recognized that opportunities still exist in retail areas which need to be addressed. Such an opportunity has surfaced and staff believes a timely response is necessary. A substantial retail prospect with a large customer draw has approached the city through a consultant. The prospect has clearly indicated they will not advance in their consideration of Owasso as the location of their development unless the city is under contract with Retail Attractions. RETAIL ATTRACTIONS: Retail Attractions is an economic development firm that specializes in retail development. Rickey Hayes, CEO, is intimately familiar with the dynamics of development. Retail Attractions brings experience, network of contacts, and a concentrated approach on behalf of the client. Staff has negotiated a one-year contract with Retail Attractions in the amount of $48,000. This investment would bridge the opportunity for this major retail offering, furthering Owasso as a shopping destination community. Discussions the City Manager has conducted with a principle of the prospective retail company has made it clear that based on the prospect's past experiences, the company would further their discussions only if the City of Owasso was represented by Retail Attractions. There is no guarantee the aforementioned prospect will locate/develop in Owasso. However, in order to comply with the prospect's request to work only through Retail Attractions, staff believes it is necessary to pursue a contract with Mr. Hayes and Retail Attractions. The staff views this contract as a calculated investment that could produce an excellent return for the citizens of Owasso in terms of both sales tax and additional shopping opportunities. Additionally, a development of this nature would significantly expand the already large amount of out-of-town shoppers creating an even larger ratio of sales tax revenue-to-population. CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT: Making these kinds of decisions are difficult to do without knowing who the prospect is; therefore, a confidentiality agreement has been enclosed for your review and, if so desired, your signature. This enables the Economic Development Director to have individual discussions with members of the Authority regarding the disclosure of the prospect and status of the project. CONTRACT AGREEMENT: FUNDING: Funding has been appropriated in the FY 2012-2013 budget (in the Economic Development portion of the Hotel Tax Fund). PROPOSED ACTION: The proposed Contract Agreement exceeds the City Manager's spending authority and would require City Council approval. Staff intends to recommend Council approval to enter into a one-year contract with Retail Attractions in an effort to secure a major retail prospect. ATTACHMENTS: A.
