The new Budget Law establishes more sound fiscal practices, requires greater financial disclosure, allows cities to implement generally accepted standards of management. Under the new law, you budget 100% of the estima- ted expenditures and revenues for the budget year, whereas in the past, you were limited to 90% of the past year's expenditures and so forth. Mr. Thompson continued with a brief summary of the budgets and by reference made a part hereof. In the Revenue Sharing budget for the Police Department, it was decided that the animal control truck should be deleted since a truck has been transferred to that department. Also, the Firearms were questioned as to whether sidearms or shotguns, to which Mr. Thompson answered that none in particular had been requested, it was just there for future purchase if needed. The Safety Vests were questioned as it was pointed out we had purchased 12 vests about 1-1/2 years ago and there was some doubt as to whether they were being used or not. In the Revenue Sharing Budget for Fire Department, the Extricator was questioned since the Council felt this might be similar to the Jaws of Life being purchased by the County. Ms. Ruth Cooper of the Owasso Historical Society approached the Council to ask that they consider setting aside a portion of the Revenue Sharing Funds for the Historical Society. It was suggested that possibly $1,000 could be set aside for the Historical Society out of the $4,000 allocated to the purchase of the animal control truck, with the balance of $3,000 being used for parking lot improvements. Mayor Spencer suggested that part of the Revenue Sharing money be used for the lots next to City Hall. Mayor Spencer suggested that all Council Members go through and make up a schedule if they felt this proposed budget should be changed for Revenue Sharing. Also, he suggested that the citizens do the same thing if they wanted to. The Final Approval and Adoption of the 1980-81 Budget for the City and the General Revenue Sharing Budget for Fiscal Year 1980-81 is to be placed on the agenda for ~~~` the June 17, 1980 meeting.

Several residents wish to purchase additional land from their property line, back to the creek which runs through the park, to be used as back yard. It was pointed out to them that they would have utility easements thru the middle of their yard if the additional land was added to their present lot. Mr. Charney said acceptance of that land would have to meet covenant restrictions of the subdivision. He also pointed out if there was a grant for the Park, we might not be able to sell part of this park land. Mr. Charney was instructed by Mayor Spencer to research the legal aspects of this proposal and report back to the Council at the meeting of July 1, 1980, at which time this would be on the agenda. Mr. Charney requested an abstract of Ator IV which Mr. Guilfoyle was to bring to his office.

It would be utilized by other builders in the subdivision also. It is to be used to pass out sales literature only. Motion was made by Dennis Burke, seconded by Clyde Fry, to grant the request for a temporary building to be placed in Rio Vista as a sales office. Ayes - Messrs Spencer, Lambert, Fry, Burke Nays - None Motion carried Owasso City Council June 3, 1980 Page k've Item 3 - Dr. Steven Clark appeared to voice his concern over the changes in the ambulance service. He wanted to know what the plans were for the ambulance service, whether it was going to be manned by non-EMTs or if we would have qualified personnel on board. He told the Council he had worked with our ambulance service in training and did not want to see us go backwards instead of forwards in this area. Mr. Thompson assured Dr. Clark that we would have a qualified EMT in the ambulance on all runs, in the back working with the patients, and would have a driver in the front who might be a fireman, ambulance driver, or another EMT. He assured Dr. Clark that there would always be a qualified EMT working with the patients in the back of the ambulance, and that most of our EMTs are classified further as MICPs. There being no further business before the Owasso City Council, Chair adjourned the meeting at 8:00 PM. re '~ Mayo c City Cler
