It was a great concern for the neighborizood and the owner also. Only one block from Atlanta to Broadway was included in this proposal. Tile situation was that he had to start construction of the building to have a Mace to move the materials so i1e could clear off izis lot to be able to nut more cars on the lot. One suggestion was to have his cars park on other people's property, but tiie Board of Adjustment t~.oug'nt it was beyond tinier- scone to ask him to do that .

City Manager stated that a tape recording system lead been manufactured by Lanier which they adapted and installed and gave the City a trial period to see if we liked it and it worked. It izas been used by all three departments, all the dispatching by phone and radio calls are monitored out of the departments, Since it was not a budgeted item this year and the City did not take comnetative bids, lie recommended that it be leased temporarily, the down-payment would run until May 1, and the next lease would take t'ze City through until the end of the June and budget or bids could be considered then. The portion payable now could be paid from t'_ze revenue sharing portion of the fire department. He further stated that it cost $5,080.20, and could be leased until ?`Zay 1, for $560.92, and if we wanted it for anotizer quarter it would be $1,456.93 or $485.64 per month on a regular monthly basis until we decide to purchase it or take it out. If it is purc'zased these payments would go toward nurclzase. Competative bids were not taken because it was not known what type of system was needed, but specifications could be drawn up and advertisement for bids for a comparable system could be taken at ariy time, to meet the bid requirements for anything over $2,000.00. Owasso City Council Page Six February 2, 1982 T~Tr. Thompson stated that the biggest use for the tape system is where people are excited and call in an address and they don't repeat themselves and they hand up in the excitement and the dispatcher doesn't have any way to get back to them, the tape can be replayed instantly and the address can be obtained or they can try to make more sense out of it, This system could be a lifesaver and it could eliminate some liability on the City's part. :Motion was made by John Stadler to authorize the lease, lze tizen withdrew the motion and wanted to talk about it some more. City Manager stated that the tape were being kept for 3 weeks before they are being reused and it is using about 1 cassette for each shift.

Ron Cates stated that t'..~is gives the bower to serve or to designate, not a random as is done at the present time. It does lock the mayor or vice mayor in as far as they must assume the position or tizey must make the decision to designate the position, Iie said he thought t'ne Ordinance was drafted with enough latitude that the mayor could aApoint someone to serve as well as the vice mayor.
