ITEM 4: CONSIDERATION AND APPROPRIATE ACTION RELATING TO THE
APPOINTMENT OF AN ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR THE PURPOSE OF
PROVIDING A FORUM FOR THE DISCUSSION OF MULTI-FAMILY
HOUSING ON PROPERTY OWNED BY THE LARKIN BAILEY
FOUNDATION ADJACENT TO THE BAILEY GOLF RANCH.
This item was tabled from the August 15 regular meeting of the Council. At that meeting
Councilor Helm suggested the appointment of an advisory committee to discuss the zoning and
placement of multi-family housing on property owned by the Larkin Bailey Foundation. Mr
Owasso City Council August 18, 1995
Helm and city staff proposed appointing aseven-member committee comprised of two
councilors, two area developers, two citizens, and one city staff member. Because some of the
persons suggested to serve on the committee do not reside within the city limits, Mr Ewing said
he could not approve the appointment of the committee. He said he feels persons living within
the city limits should be given the first opportunity to serve. A comment was also made at that
meeting that someone with knowledge of the city's comprehensive plan or long range planning
should serve on the committee. Council voted to table the item to allow sufficient time for each
Councilor to submit the name of a person to serve on the committee. The Mayor then called
a special meeting for August 18th to deal with the item.
Each Councilor submitted the name of a person to serve on the advisory committee. Following
discussion, Mr Ewing moved, seconded by Mr Ramey, to approve the following names as
submitted by Council and staff: Noble Sokolosky, Pete Kourtis, Jane Enzbrenner, Marlin Kerr,
Dave Chandler, Councilor Helm, Councilor Ewing, and Robert Carr. The committee will be
staffed by Tim Rooney.

NAY: None
Motion carried 5-0.
ITEM 5: REPORT FROM CITY MANAGER.
