RECOMMENDATION FROM THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS COMMITTEE:
The Capital Improvements Committee conducted a meeting on April 5, 2007 in order to
formulate a recommendation to the City Council about what the capital priorities should be for
FY ' 07 -08. During that meeting, the Committee voted unanimously to recommend the City
Council include six projects with the priority capital improvements for FY 2007 -2008:
1. North 129' East Avenue widening
2. Street Rehabilitation program
3. Main Street Redevelopment
4. Sportspark build -out
5. East 86`h Street North widening
6. Joint Training facility
PROCESS FOR CREATING ANNUAL LIST OF PRIORITIES:
Adopted by the Council on September 2, 2003, Resolution 2003 -14 sets the guidelines whereby
the City Council establishes capital priorities each year.
First, the Capital Improvements Committee conducts a public meeting and transmits a
recommendation of capital priorities to the City Council. That meeting was conducted on April
5, 2007.
Then, the City publishes a notice of a public hearing to be conducted by the City Council
regarding the proposed list of prioritized capital projects. This notice was published in the
Owasso Reporter.
Next, the City Council conducts a public hearing. On April 17, 2007, a public hearing was held
in order to receive and consider information provided by citizens that may be relevant to the
proposed amendment to the priorities. One public comment was presented - that the widening of
North 129`h East Avenue be accomplished soon.
Finally, at least two weeks after the public hearing, the City Council adopts by resolution the
prioritized list of capital projects for the upcoming or current fiscal year.
RECOMMENDATION:
The staff recommends that the following list of projects be approved by the City Council as
capital priorities:
1. North 129' East Avenue widening, East 76' Street North to East 96`h Street North
2. Street Rehabilitation program
3. Main Street Redevelopment
4. Sportspark build -out
5. East 86`' Street North widening
6. Joint Training facility
This change in priorities is included within the proposed Resolution 2007 -05.
