Mr. Joplin introduced three young people to the Council and stated that these young people would like to set up a clean-up Owasso Days the date to be a Saturday in October. Mayor Ross said he would see if the County would participate in this effort as they have done in the past and that the Boy Scouts would deliver handbills on Wednesday before the Clean- Up Day. Mr. Large suggested that the day be set up whenever the County can work it. Fire Chief Tom Rikkola gave his fire report and requested that a full-time fireman be employed as soon as possible in order that the fireman can attend Certification School at Oklahoma State University (September 12 through April). The reason for this being that the school is held only once a year. Chief Rikkola showed the Council uniforms that the Tulsa Fire Department uses and stated that these are always available and would be useful for Owasso. He suggested that each man have three (3) sets of coveralls, one (1) jacket, One uniform, one long sleeve shirt, 1 short sleeve shirt, two pairs of pants, nameplate and badge at a cost of $1$5.00 total. He stated that the figures on the budget he submitted included cost of uniforms but was all lumped into one sum. Police Chief Jim Matney gave his report and then questioned the investigation of the Police Department by members of the Council. He stated that he felt that if the Council was not satisfied with the Police Department, he should be told about it. Mr. Myers stated he had no idea that the Police Department was being investigated. Mr. Large assured the Chief that if there were an investigation, it was not being done by Council authority and, if at any time, the Council had any questions concerning the Police Department, the Chief would be the first to know. Chief Matney stated he had spoken with Mr.Campbell about re- signing, not because the Chief wanted more money but because of the way his department was being treated. The Council assured him that they were well pleased with the work he was doing and had had nothing but compliments about the police department. Chief Matney stated that if the Council was behind him, he would like to withdraw his verbal resignation. s; Mr. Campbell said he would be happy to accept it. Mr. Mansur, Mansur-Daubert Williams, Inc., informed the Council that the first two tests made on the cement at the swimming pool had not met the requirements. He said a third test was being made but as yet he had not received the results from it. He would report on this at the next meeting. Mr. Campbell explained that bids for office furniture had been sent to six firms and we had received two bids. One from Dan P. Scott and Sons and the other from Scott-Rice. He said there was a difference of $4,61+1x..25 in the two bids.

He told the Council that this room was on the original plans but was to be constructed from wood. The Council approved an expenditure of $1,000.00 for construction of the storage room.

Mr. Shuck asked about the basketball goals and Mr. Campbell explained that the man was to call tomorrow to let them know when they will be shipped. Visitors asked about cleaning of the lot on East Sixth Street and also asked about levelling of the west ball diamond. Mr. Shuck replied that right now there was a shortage of money but that the lot will be mowed and cleaned up. Mr. Shuck stated that the County is to work with us on this but that the rain had been a holdup. There was discussion on the drainage ditch going through the park and Mr. Shuck stated that it should be cleaned out and he felt if the temporary culvert was taken out, the problem would improve.

Mr. Campbell stated the County had devised a box culvert the width of the drain ditch on 8th Street to alleviate the collecting of water in citizens' yards North of 8th Street. This will be a rather expensive project but Mr. Campbell strongly recommended that this method be used if at all possible. The County will give us a cost estimate and will do Minutes Continued September 3, 1974 Page 3 the work and the City will pay for the materials used. Mr. Campbell will poll each council member by telephone when cost estimate is made available to him.
