OWASSO CITY COUNCIL
MARCH 17, 1992
Councilman Randolph read the following statement: "About one year
ago when I was campaigning for this seat, I promised the people
of Owasso that I would work for all of the people not just a
special interest group. Now is the time to do this because every
individual property owner within the city will have an ad valorem
millage increase if the 15% sales tax fund doesn't cover the
payment. I ask that you join me and vote no, then build the
Sports-flex as originally planned".

P. Marlar, that the Council place before the voters of the City
of Owasso a question accessing the "Future Capital Fund",
