MEMORANDUM
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCIL
CITY OF OWASSO
FROM: TIMOTHY D. ROONEY
ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: CITY RESOLUTION NO. 2007 -03
CEMETERY RATES
CITY RESOLUTION NO. 2007 -04
AMBULANCE RATES
DATE: April 26, 2007
BACKGROUND:
At the April 17, 2007 regular meeting, the Owasso City Council reviewed and approved rate
and fee adjustments for the services provided by the City of Owasso and the Owasso Public
Works Authority. The rates and fee adjustments recommended by staff were the result of a
comprehensive review beginning in November of 2006.
Several of the approved rate increases require formal action by the Owasso Public Works
Authority, the Owasso City Council, or both. In the case of both the Cemetery and
Ambulance rates, it is necessary for the City Council to formally adopt the planned rate
increases via Resolution.
City of Owasso Resolution No. 2007 -03 would formally adopt the rate increase identified to
offset overtime costs incurred by the City of Owasso for interments requiring city staff after
4:00 PM.
City of Owasso Resolution No. 2007 -04 would formally adopt rate increases identified by staff
to offset expenses incurred by the City of Owasso to provide ambulance services.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
If adopted by the City Council, the effective date of the rate increases would be July 1, 2007.
RECOMMENDATION:
The staff recommends Council adoption of City Resolution No. 2007 -03 and 2007 -04.
