Chief Motto presented this item to Council stating bids were
opened on July 29, 1992 for the purchase of two vehicles to be
used by the Detective Division. Two bids were received. Classic
Chevrolet in Owasso submitted a bid on two 1992 Chevrolet Luminas
with 15,000 miles and 10,477 miles at $10,477.00 per vehicle.
Doenges Ford in Bartlesville submitted a bid on two 1992 Ford
Tempos with 6,300 miles and 10,500 miles for $9,999.00 per
vehicle. He continued by stating these amounts are above the
funding allocated for vehicle purchases since two new black and
while vehicles need to be added to the department fleet this
fiscal year also. He requested Council reject these bids and
authorize re-bidding with "re-written" specifications allowing
for 1991 "program type" vehicles and increasing the mileage limit
and setting a maximum bid amount per vehicle of $8,000.00.
After discussion by staff and Council, a motion was made by J.
Gittelman, seconded by J. Phillips, to reject these bids and
authorize re-bid on only one vehicle with the changes in the
specifications to allow for 1991 or 1992 "program type" vehicles
with the maximum mileage to be 25,000 and no maximum bid amount
stated.

ITEM 10: CONSIDERATION AND APPROPRIATE ACTION RELATING TO THE
RELEASE OF ESCROWED FUNDS IN THE AMOUNT OF $6 686.55;
AUTHORIZATION OF AN EXPENDITURE OF AN ADDITIONAL
$4,088.05; AND ESTABLISHING CRITERIA FOR THE USE OF
FUNDS FOR A SPECIFIC DRAINAGE PROJECT LOCATED ON 129TH
EAST AVENUE APPROXIMATELY 1/4 MILE NORTH OF 76TH STREET
NORTH.
Mr. Mike Augustine stated now that Double Oaks Addition is being
developed and Copper Meadows II is nearing completion, it is cost
effective to have the developers contractor, who is constructing
the drainage structure for Double Oaks, to construct the
necessary drainage outlet addressed when the Drainage Escrow Fund
was established at the beginning of Copper Meadows II
subdivision. He stated the City has advertised for bids on the
City's portion of the project. No bids were received and they
have negotiated with the contractor on site and Mr. Buford
Williams, the developer, to have the drainage structure
completed. Mr. William's contractor will construct the
reinforced concrete box and drop inlet structure for $10,775.00.
Tulsa County has given a verbal commitment to complete the
backfill, compacting and street pavement repair for the cost of
the materials.
He stated the project cost is $14,500.00. By utilizing the
drainage escrow account of $6,686.95 this would mean that the
current cost to the city for this project would be $7,813.05. As
the remainder of the land in the drainage basin is developed the
City will collect $3,008.00 and therefore the final cost to the
City will be $4,805.05.
When asked by Council for a funding source, Mr. Augustine stated
monies are currently available in the Street Department's
Operating Supplies, however, a supplemental appropriation at a
later date will be requested to replace these funds so planned
projects can be completed.
Mayor Marlar requested of Counsel to review wording in the Escrow
Agreement. Mr. Cates suggested wording be changed from
"contribute" to "compensate" in paragraph 4 of the agreement..
After discussion and questions by Council, a motion was made by
J. Smalley, seconded by J. Phillips, to approve the 129th
Drainage Project as outlined by staff; to authorize the Mayor to
execute the release of escrow funds agreement; to approve payment
of $4,088.05 to Oklahoma Utility Contractors, Inc.; to initiate
an agreement with Tulsa County and present to Council for action
at a future meeting; and to change the wording in the agreement
to "compensate".

ITEM 11: CONSIDERATION AND APPROPRIATE ACTION RELATING TO A
STAFF REQUEST FOR A COUNCIL POLICY REGARDING THE USE OF
"RIBBED HIGH DENSITY POLYETHYLENE" PIPING AS APPROVED
CONDUIT FOR STORM WATER DRAINAGE SYSTEMS.
Mr. Compton reviewed this request stating staff has been
conducting an initial investigation into the use of polyethylene
piping for stormwater drainage pipe. This pipe meets engineering
standards if properly installed and it is currently installed in
parts of two newly developed subdivisions. He continued by
stating it is the staff's opinion that sufficient information is
available at this time to question the use of ribbed high density
polyethylene piping and he recommended that moratorium be placed
on the use of such piping until further analysis can prove that a
potential hazard and cost to the residents of the City does not
exist.
After discussion by Council, a motion was made by B. Randolph,
seconded by J. Phillips, to declare a moratorium on the use of
"ribbed high density polyethylene" piping for use in constructing
storm water drainage systems.

Sokolosky, attorney for the applicant, was present to address
Council concerning this request. Mr. Sokolosky stated Mr. Lynn
Freeman, the owner of Lot 1, Block 1, Ator Heights Commercial

requirement to clear the title to this property. The other means
