7. REPORT FROM CITY MANAGER
A. UPDATE ON CURRENT PROJECTS
Mr. Block reported that he had been in contact with DECA about the
possibility of having one of their people come in to discuss with
the City our project - hopefully the first of next week.
Mr. Block said that the City had received a truck chassis from Dow
Chemical Company which will be used to augment our fire-fighting
equipment. This donation will not only improve our fire-fighting
capability, it will help to keep our insurance rates down.

Mr. Block further reported that the sanding machine had been used
on ice caused by water breaks and had worked well.
8. NEW BUSINESS
Mrs. Webb asked for a report on street repair. Mr. Block said that
the long delay on the repair work on 76th Street had caused other street
repair to be delayed. Now with winter weather here, it would be better
to wait except for work that is very urgent. Mrs. Webb asked if
the City has scheduled budgeted street repair plan. Mr. Block said
there was a street repair scheduled in this budget, but that it
would now be better to postpone it until spring.
Mr. George Phillips asked when. the fire hydrant would be installed
at the corner of North Elm and Forest Drive. Mr. Block said work
was being done in that area now, but this particular hydrant was
difficult to fix as the area had been filled in with concrete.
He said as soon as possible the Water Dept, would run a spur line
in that area and put a new fire hydrant on it. Mr. Phillips asked
when this might be done. Mr. Block said it depended upon how many
emergencies came up, .but it would be done in the course of actual
construction in that area, hopefully in the next few weeks.
With no further business before the Owasso City Council, meeting
adjourned at 8:17 p.m.
