Block reported on his examination of the water run-off problems in Elm Creek II. He said the company who did the subdivision work is no longer working for the developer and that their present engineering firm is Al C. Young and Associates. He said he walked over the area with their engineer and it was easy to define the ponding areas as there had been recent rainfall. He said the devel- oper was trying to ascertain when the drainage problem began and that there was discussion on methods of solving the problem. Mrs. Webb asked if,when it is determined who is at fault, some- thing will be done about correcting the problem. Mr. Block said he felt since the people involved are willing to cooperate and the problem was correctable, that he was optimistic about getting it taken care of. Mr. Block pointed out several items in the submitted final amended 1983-84 budget, in particular the addition of two employees in the water and sewer department which caused an increase in salaries of $25,000 and a corresponding percentage increase in benefits. He said the final budget indicates there is more estimated incoming revenue than expenditure for 1983-84. OWASSO CITY COUNCIL PAGE FOUR JULY 5 , 1..983 Mr. Block said he hoped every year could be as successful in the cor~~letion of .planned objectives as was .1982-83. Mayor Spencer stated that he felt this Council has done more in the past year in taking care of the City's needs than any time in the nine years he has been on the Council. He said he thought the Council had done a remarkable job and also recognized the City Manager's contribution to a very successful year. The Mayor asked about the planned enlargement of :the firefighter's facilities. Mr. Block said it would be a part of the revenue sharing budget and he planned on doing it in 1983-84. The Mayor asked if the garage would be done this year. Mr. Block said it was allocated in 1982-83 budget and therefore, has high priority for completion since the money has to be used in the first ninety days of 83-84. 8. NEW BUSINESS Mr. Monty Norris of Elm Creek asked P~ir. Block about the status of PSO's installation of street lights in their area. Mr. Block said he had written PSO a letter asking them to please put in all the lights that were approved when the plat was developed and mentioned specifically the ones he had gotten the most requests about. He said that the weather had probably had something to do with the delay and the work should be done very soon. Mr. Norris asked about the reevaluation of speed zones in Owasso. Mr. Block said the work was almost completed and would be on the next agenda. There being no further new business before the Owasso City Council, chair adjourned at 8:18 p.m. BOY M.
