Mr. Charney said he thinks it is a good idea but it might be difficult to police. Mayor Spencer said he thinks it is a little out of line for peo- ple that would pay $30.00 to $100.00 for a pool and have to pay thousands for a fence. He felt the pool depth should be at ~~ least 4' before requiring fencing. Mr. Wrestler commented he felt the ordinance should stand the way it is. Mr. Charney said if Council doesn't like it, they can strike it from the code. Mrs. Fickle suggested leaving it at the present time since it is so late in the year. Mr. Meyer commented it is the two and three foot pools that are the pro- blem as the larger pools are covered with building permits. Mayor Spencer directed it remain as is under the BOCA Building Code until such time as it is requested to be considered again. NEW BUSINESS: ITEM Mr. Meyer announced the old water tower came down today and he has discussed with the Owasso Historical Society ideas on how to retain a part of it as history. The roof and 5' of the side of the tank was saved and he would like to propose to City Council that they give him permission to take it to Rayola Park and make it into a gazebo or picnic shelter. He said it had a plaque on it saying it was erected in 1924. Mayor Spencer said Council would have no objections to the proposal and it would be a good winter job. Owasso City Council July 3, 1979 Page Five ITEM Robert Wrestler said the residents in Ator Heights IV are fin- ally getting the street signs up and have called him expressing their appreciation. ITEM Mayor Spencer directed City Clerk to write a letter to the Superintendent of the Owasso Public Schools and P•1r. Lampkin ex- pressing their thoughts regarding the school band winning First Place in the International Band Competition. Mrs. Fickle suggested a proclamation establishing Pride of Owasso Week with something such as a watermelon feed and perhaps a con- cert by the band. Mrs. Fickle will work with the Chamber of Com- merce getting this started, to which Council was in agreement. Being no further business before the Owasso City Council, Chair adjourned at 8:00 PM. ~ CITY CLERK
