Mr. Edelman reported that Mr. Caldwell stated that it would take him to February 1 to get the things on the list completed. Mr. Edelman reported that the swim- ming pool had had only minor work done since last report. Both Mr. Ball and Mr. Ross felt that February l~ 1975 should be the date for the final completion of this project. Mr. Ball asked about the payments to Caldwell Construction Company. Mr. Ross asked if Caldwell Construction Company was going to pay rent on the present offices and buildings of the City departments since no money had been budgeted past January 1~ 1975 for these items. Mr. Campbell stated that Mr. Caldwell had been advised that we expected him to assume this responsibility and that moneys for the rentals would either be withheld from payments to Caldwell or Mr. Caldwell would reimburse us by check for these expenditures. The Council again discussed withholding payments to Caldwell until his caork is completed. Mr. Large moved that the Claims be approved for payment as presented. Mr. Duncan seconded the motion. Ayes; Rossi Myers Bally Larger Duncan. Mr. Campbell explained the setting up of work periods and pay periods for municipal employees, Mr. Myers stated that he did not favor this because of an 8 percent decrease in pay per check but stated that he knew that over a period of 12 months employees would get the same amount of money. He asked if the employees had been polled as to whether or not they wanted this type pay arrangement. Mr. Campbell stated that he had spoken with two or three of the employees and they had no objections. Mr. Campbell further stated that the Police Department had to be put under a 11~ day work period and that other employees had been placed on a 7 day work period. Chief Matney explained that this Vaas causing a hardship in his de- partment since dispatcher were not allowed to work more than 1~0 hours without receiving overtime pay. A cost of living raise for employees was discussed and the City Manager ad- vised the Council that after February l~ 1975, he should be in a position to advise regar~3.ing cost of living raises. He stated that we were about 17 percent behind in cost of living raises at this point. Although no formal action was taken, it seemed the general consensus of the Council to wait until the cost of living raise was given before changing the pay periods. Quality Cabinets proposal and drawing for a new council table for the new complex was pre- sented to the council. The table will have a formica top and paneling that blends with the council chamber paneling. The total cost of this tables installedt is $833.00. Mr. Myers moved that we accept Quality Cabinet's proposal. Mr. Ball seconded the motion. Ayes: Ross, Myers, Ball, Larger Duncan. Mr. Ball moved that we discontinue the called meetings after the January 20t 1975 meeting. Mr. Large seconded the motion. Ayes; Ross, Ball, Large. .Nays; Myers, Duncan. Mr. Myers moved that we adjourn at 8:52 p.m. Mr. Ball seconded the motion. Ayes; Ross Myers Bally Larger Duncan. ! ~' ~t°' Joe Ross, ayor !~ - ..~a~~-'r'v o ie Fickler Acting Clerk ~` ~ ` `" j._ `' ~ Minutes January 7 ~ 1975 Continued Page 2 1975. Mr. Shuck and Mr. Holt, Park Board, asked that the Council meet with the Board and Mr. Dunbar sc that all could be enlightened as to park priorities, funds available, by- laws and other necessary items. The Council agreed to meet with the Park Board on Saturday morning, January 11, 1975 at 10:00 a.m. at City Hall. Mr. Large advised that he would not attend this meeting. Mr. Ball suggested that Mr. Dunbar be presented a monthly report on income (tax revenue) so that he could know how much money was available and he could inform the Park Board. Mr. Campbell said this could be done. A discussion of work done on the swimming pool by the contractor ensued. Payments on the swimming pool and municipal complex ~rere discussed and the Council was advised that ten (10) percent of the total contract price on each project was being withheld by the City to insure proper performance by the Contractor. The completion of the west ball diamond was discussed as were bleachers. Chief Tom Rikkola presented the monthly report for December and the annual report. He in- formed the Council that a tank had been procured to assist with grass fires and the depart- ment was attempting to get a chassis for use. He reported that the malfunction in the fire alert system over the weekend had been explained to him and reiterated that additional paid firemen during this year was a goal of the department. Forms Attached. Chief Jim Matney reported on his department's activities for the month of December and the year of 1974. Forms attached. He stated that estimated damage to the newly installed signal light at $bth St. North and North Main was $$,000.00 and suggested that from 11th Street North to 16th Street be posted as a school zone with a 15 MPH speed limit. He also suggested that $bth Street running East and ti=Fest be posted a block either way from Main Street as a school zone with 15 MPH speed limit. He informed the Council that state statutes designate school zones as 15 MPH zones. He further suggested that 76th Street North from South Dogwood to Main Street be posted as a school zone and that one block north of Barnes Elementary be so posted. MR. BALL MOVED THAT SIGNS BE ORDERED AND POSTED AS STATED ABOVE AT THE SCHOOLS. MR. MYERS SECONDED THE MOTION. Ayes: Ross, Myers, Ba]_1, Large, Duncan. Mr. Ball recommended that this be taken care of as quicklsy as possible. Chief Matney advised that he could order the sites on January $, 1975. Chief Matney explained to the Council that recently two overdoses had ~~visited~~ the police department and that one had become violent and tear gas had to be used to prevent him from injuring himself. He explained that these people were in violation of the law but sug- gested that we not arrest them because when arrested and taken to a hospital, we are respon- sible for medical bills, transportation, and guards. After discussion, the Council agreed that we should consult the City Attorney for-his opinion. No other action was taken at this time on this matter. Chief Matney extended an invitation to the Council members to attend a Chiefs' meeting at the High School Library on January 15 for a discussion of Youth Services. Mr. Lang informed the Council that stop signs had been installed, this date, at First and Birch Streets, $th and Birch Streets, and Fourth and Birch Streets. The signs have been received which were ordered earlier and are being installed. The traffic problem at TGBcY- SAFEGIAY was discussed. Mr. Campbell advised that he had contacted the contractor of the TGBcY project and the contractor had advised that he would take care of the side of the project he was responsible for. The owner of the Safeway property, who resides in Bristow, has not been contacted but the City Manager said he would contact him to try to get his assistance in this matter on the Safeway side. Mr. Lang reported that the ditches had been too muddy to do anything about. He reported that the street signs, etc. were being placed in concrete and other destruction preventive measures were being taken in installation. Mr. Edelman reported that he, Mr. Williams, Architect, and Others did a detailed preliminary inspection of the new city complex and that the contractor had been given a detailed account ~_la~ JANUARY 7, 1975 The Owasso City Council met in regular session on Tuesday evenings January 7, 1975 at City Hall at 7:00 P.M. with Mayor Ross presiding.

Mr. Campbell reported that he had spoken with Mr. W. M. Hawk and discussed the drainage problem created by the Wilawood Addition. (Mr. Hawk owned this land originally). Mr. Camp- bell stated that Mr. Hawk informed him that he (Mr. Hawk) would not spend any money to correct this drainage problem. A discussion ensued on cost of correcting the problem and the legality of city funds being spent outside city limits. Mr. Fry was asked if he would give a permanent easement to the City if we could find funds and if the legal opinion of the City Attorney was such that we could expend these funds. Mr. Fry said he would note at this timer give a permanent easement but would give a temporary easement so that the correction could be made. Mr. Campbell advised Mr. Fry that the easement would be underground. This did not alter Mr. Fry's refusal. Mr. Fry did relate that he would be willing to come into the city if he could find out how to properly submit an application to do so since the previous one submitted several years ago was determined to be illegal according to the secretary Mr. Fry said. Mr. Fry asked what size strip of land would be needed and was advised that a 15 foot easement would be needed. Mayor Ross stated that regardless of the way the Fry decision went, the City should check out what could be down within city limits to partially rectify this problem. Legal technicalities about altering and increasing the flow of water was discussed. The Mayor suggested we seek legal assistance with these varying questions as quickly as possible so that a course of action could be charted. Mr. Myers asked if we had legal recourse on the developers. Mayor Ross stated that we did not becasue we had already accepted this addition as it was. The suggestion was made that all storm sewers and all other aspects of a development should be inspected in future before we accept the additions. IT WAS THE GENERAL CONCENSUS OF THE COUNCIL THAT THE LEGALITIES IN THIS MATTER BE EXPLORED AS FAR AS SPENDING CITY FUNDS OUTSIDE CITY LIMITS WATER FLOWS AND IN- STALLATION WITHOUT A PERMANENT EASEMENT AND THAT THE CITY ATTORNEYS CITY MANAGER AND MR. FRY GET TOGETHER ON THIS MATTER. Mr. Dunbar Park Superintendent, reported that a portable water fountain had been installed at the park building; the telephone installed; two benches constructed; that the nets for the basketball goals should be received shortly; that the contractor had worked on the leaks in the building but it still. leaked; lights are in the process of being completed by Mr. Money; Public Service Company will have acrew out to install lights in parking area just as soon as a crew is free; the building is well used by the public; the socket in the stairwell has not been repaired yet. The Mayor asked if anything had been done with the lots at 8th Street and the Access Road as far as cleaning and preparing for useage. Nothing had been done. In discussion of this park areal the Mayor stated that there would be $$J~,000.00 from the penny sales tax after February 1 and it was to be put to use for the park department and that every penny could be spent in that area. Mr. Campbell advised the Council that all sums a~DOVe $111,000.00 could be supplementally appropriated for the departments after February 1~ Further, with no permanent property right, the City would, in effect, be expending public funds for a private purpose. This is clearly improper. It is, therefore, my opinion that the City of Owasso could expend funds for the purpose of acquiring a permanent easement outside the City limits of the City of Owasso if the City Council, in its collective wisdom, determines that the acquisition of such easement would be beneficial to the.
