Mayor Ross stated that an additional Stem, Item No. 6, should have been on the Agenda.
This Item deals with the Rural Fire Department. Mr. Cramer, representative of the Owasso
Community Fire Department, Inc., (rural fire department), stated that he would like to
see the City adopt the rural fire departments presenting several reasons for this re-
quest. These reasons included that the city rea ly needed grass fire trucks; that the
department needed help not only from the City but the County and the State and wherever
help is available; that he did not feel the City would be overburdened in accepting the
department and that the people in the rural fire department have given years of service
to fires within and ti•aithout the city. He stated that he did not feel the acceptance of
the rural fire department by the cit~r would mean that the rural people were freeloading
off the City. Mr. Ball suggested that this joint venture betttiTeen the tt~,to departments be
taken on a yearly basis rather than five year basis and he further stated that he did
not feel the City Z~Tas slighting the Rural people at all; that on a yearly basisf City
funds needed for other things ~•aould not be tied up over an extended period of time.
The dues for the rural area were discussed but no decision was made. NIr. Cramer said
he had had numerous calls regarding dues for the rural department and he had told them
to hold off on paying them until this merger ?has effected or rejected. Mayor Ross stated
that he thought the Council should. take action on the matter note since it had been dis-
cussed at other Council meets. MR. LARGE MOVED THAT THE CITY TAKE OVER THE RURAL FIRE
DEPARTM~ZT ON A Ol~TE-YEA±~ BASIS. MR. BALL SECONDF~ THE MOTION. AYFaS: Ross, I,arget
Duncan, Ball.
Mayor Ross stated that there was a vacancy on the Park Board and he was ready for a
nomination. He then nominated A4r. 1^1. C. Carver for this nosition(Mr. Carver's term is
for three .year) and so moved. NIr. Duncan seconded the motion. Ayes: Ross, Bal_1, Large,
Duncan.
Mayor Ross asked when the swimming pool. was going to be opened and then reiterated
various complaints regarding the park project; asked different questions and stated
that he had been told he was out of line tahen he visited various park projects and
found ++errors++. Mr. Large reminded the Mayor that the Council authorized an inspector
be placed. on the job sites (park a.nd municipal complex) and Mr. Large said that if sae
are going to do the inspections, ?~ahy pay a.n inspector? Mr. Ross replied that we were
not going to do the inspections but that t~ahen problem areas cropped ups he felt they
should be able to talk to someone about them and he, personally, didn't, feel this could
be done. A lengthy discussion on both the park project and the mianicipa.l complex ensued.
Mr. Ball asked if payment could. be held on the s~.~Timming pool until it is completed.. He
suggested that this course o.f action be taken. P4r. Edelman stated. that payment T~aas being
t-,aithheld until the Council accepts the pool. Mr, Edelman informed. the Council that there
o:~a.s no penalt;r (late) clause in the contract with Caldwell Constr~zetion Company but that
after the specified date for completion, there would be a breach of contract ?~ahi.ch might
have legal implications. Other concrete matters ~~aere discussed. Another discussion
of on-si.te inspections t~~a.s discussed and Mr. Ball again stated that he did not feel we
Tae re getting our money's ?,aorth and again suggested they be stopped. Mr. Duncan stated
that he believed these insnecti.ons should be continued. Mr. Ball stated that he ~~aould
like a personal report .from the on-site inspector. I~'R. BALI T~IOVF~ THATINSPECTIONSt

cracked and hole, and ?ravels have accumulated a.s a result. The Council. was asked Naha-t
it ~•aas going to d.o about it. Mr. Campbell stated that it ~~aould be taken care of on the
morrotr?. Mr. Joplin stated that he tiaas unhappy with the dirt and excess materials be-

t~1r. Ball stated that he ~,rould like to have time to compare the proposed budget for
1974-75 ~~rith the actual expenditures from last year's budget. I~~rs. Anderson explained
