Mayor Thompson stated he has had several phone calls regarding the schools use of four tennis courts on a "reserved" basis. He felt the entire Council needed to make a policy statement addressing this situation. He stated there is one court near the swimming pool that is not equipped for play at this time and was interested in what would need to be done so it could be used for practice play for the people who are interested in playing tennis during the schools "reserved" times. Mr. Ray stated the high school tennis teams have traditionally used the courts from 3:00 p.m, to 5:00 p.m. five days a week for a period of six weeks. This "reserved use" is in the form of a mutual agreement between the school and the city. Mr. John Scott, the Athletic Director for the High School, was present and addressed Council asking for the continued use of the courts during the season since the school does not have any plans to construct courts at this time. After discussion by Council and comments by staff, a motion was made by P. Marlar, seconded by V. Stockler, to continue to administrate the current practice of allowing the school teams to have "reserved use" of the courts during their season.

ITEM 7: REQUEST FOR COUNCIL DIRECTION RELATING TO A REQUEST FOR AN ORDINANCE REPEALING A PORTION OF "PART 10 CHAPTER 3 SECTION 10-304" OF THE OWASSO CODE OF ORDINANCES FOR THE PURPOSE OF ALLOWING THE SALE OF FIREWORKS WITHIN THE CITY OF OWASSO. OKLAHOMA. Mr. Ray presented this item to Council stating the staff has had a request from the High School Cheerleaders to allow them to set their annual fireworks stand on the high school parking lot. Their reason is that because of the irregular boundaries of the City some private sector groups have gained an advantage on locations that has had a negative impact on their revenue. The only way to allow their request is to repeal the portion of the ordinance prohibiting the sale of fireworks inside the city limits. He stated the appropriate staff has discussed this request and the consensus is that the sale of fireworks within the city limits, while contributory to their use, is not an important issue for the impacted departments. None of the four departments involved in the discussion had objections to the sale of fireworks within the city limits. If this request is approved by Council then the staff would like the Council to also provide for the regulation of such sales, as well as standards for the facilities from which fireworks sales would be allowed. Ms. Pam Kanady, the High School Cheerleader Sponsor, addressed Council asking for their consideration and approval of this request. After questions and much discussion by Council and the citizens in attendance, a motion was made by P. Marlar, seconded by V. Stockler, to deny the request to allow fireworks sold inside the city limits. AYE: Marlar, Stockler, Phillips, Gittelman, Thompson NAY: None MOTION: Carried 5-0 ITEM 8: PRESENTATION OF A REQUEST BY THE OWASSO CHAMBER OF COMMERCE FOR COUNCIL APPROVAL OF THE USE OF CITY PROPERTY FOR THE SITE OF THE 1992 "GOOD SAM'S" NORTHEASTERN OKLAHOMA DISTRICT CONVENTION.

The convention will be held on April 18th - April 21st. He stated with this request he would asked the Chamber to take the lead role in the 1992 convention preparation. Mr.Ray continued by stating the site of the next year's convention is voted upon during this convention. He stated the Chamber of Commerce would like Council to approve the use of the same location for the 1992 convention. After discussion and comments by Council, a motion was made by P.
