ITEM 13: NEW BUSINESS
Mr Ray said that an item requiring action had come to the attention of the staff too late to be
placed on the agenda and too late for an addendum to be posted. The item is R~UEST FOR
COUNCIL ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION #96-13 RELATING TO AN INTERLOCAL
AGREEMENT. He said that the City of Owasso has participated as an active member of a
multi jurisdictional drug task force since February 23, 1994. The District Attorney's office has
determined that the task force is operating without the appropriate interlocal agreement as
required by enabling legislation. This is a defect that must be rectified. Because the interlocal
agreement and resolution authorizing the agreement must be acted upon as quickly as possible
in order that the City of Owasso can continue to participate in the task force, an item has been
placed under New Business so that it may be acted upon. Mr Cates has prepared the resolution
and has reviewed the interlocal agreement. Ms Barnhouse moved, seconded by Mayor Ewing,
to approve Resolution #96-13 authorizing the Mayor to execute the proposed interlocal
agreement.
