First, the Capital Improvements Committee conducts a public meeting to consider proposed amendments to the priority determination of projects proposed to be funded by the third -penny sales tax. Following such consideration, the Capital Improvements Committee shall provide a recommendation to the city Council regarding the proposed amendment. Next, the City Council conducts a public hearing in order to receive and consider citizen input relevant to the recommendation made by the Capital Improvements Committee and the proposed amendment to the list of project priorities eligible to receive funding from the third - penny sales tax. Notice of the public hearing must be made no less than five days prior to the public hearing. At the conclusion of the public hearing, the City Council must continue the matter for at least two weeks before taking any action to amend the project priority listing. Any action taken by the City Council to amend the current list of priority projects must be made by adopting a resolution. CURRENT PROJECT PRIORITIES: Adopted July 16, 2013, Resolution 2013 -13 designated the following list of projects as priorities eligible for funding from the Capital Improvements Fund: • East 861h Street North Widening Project (Main to Memorial) • East 106th Street North and North Garnett Road Intersection Improvements • East and West Service Roads between E. 66th Street North and E. 126th Street North • E. 76th Street North Widening Project from Hwy 169 to N. 129th East Avenue • Sportspark • Vehicle Maintenance Facility • Main Police Station /City Hall • East 96th Street North & North 129th East Avenue Infrastructure Improvements • Annual Street Rehabilitation Program • Garnett Road Widening Project from E. 96th Street North to E. 1061h Street North • Elm Creek Park Improvements • Transportation Master Plan INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS: The E 116th St N and N 129th E Ave intersection is a heavily trafficked area that conveys residential and commercial traffic, as well as commuter traffic to and from Owasso. This roadway accommodates a large percentage of local traffic and is significant in the distribution of traffic to and from the Collinsville and to commercial areas near Hwy 169 and E 116th St N. With the continued residential and commercial growth in the area, Tulsa County and City of Owasso have been discussing potential funding options and construction timelines. A proposed solution involves a joint partnership to share costs relating to the planning and construction phase of E 1 16th St N and N 129th E Ave intersection improvements. Funding for the project would be through the ODOT Surface Transportation Program which provides federal funds in the amount of 80% for the construction cost and requires a 20% local match (City of Owasso /Tulsa County).
