SUBJECT: Supplemental Appropriation
Carryover Budgets
DATE: October 5, 2018
BACKGROUND:
Every year at the June 30 fiscal year end, there are unspent budgets. While the appropriation of
these items was included in the FY 2018 budget, the actual expenditure for all or part of these
open items will occur during FY 2019.
Because the FY 2018 budget was prepared prior to year -end, before it was known whether funds
would be expended or not, fund balances used to develop the budget were projected as
though all non -salary budgets would be expended by year -end. Therefore, approval of
carryover non -salary budgets does not reduce estimated June 30, 2018, fund balances.
In order to keep from having purchase orders open for multiple years, past practice of Council is
to close prior year purchase orders at the end of September and re- appropriate the funds in the
subsequent year along with authorizing the City to re -issue the purchase orders in the new year.
Furthermore, since Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) do not recognize
encumbrances, closing out old encumbrances where goods and services have not been
received, will enable the City's budgetary financial statements to more closely align with
audited GAAP statements.

SUBJECT: Deannexation (OA 18-03) - NW Corner E 106th St N & N 161st E Ave
DATE: October 5, 2018
BACKGROUND:
The Community Development Department received a request for a deannexation of
approximately twenty -four (24) acres on the northwest corner of E 106th St N and N 161st E Ave.
The property was annexed into Owasso City Limits with Ordinance 855 in 2006.

ANALYSIS:
The property was initially annexed into Owasso City Limits with the intent of developing a single -
family residential subdivision. In order to avoid a satellite annexation and to accommodate the
development, the statutory right -of -way (ROW) along E 106th St N from the southeast corner of
the Lake Valley subdivision to the intersection at N 161st E Ave was also annexed with the subject
property.
To develop this property with urban sized lots as originally intended would have required
extension of the sanitary sewer system for nearly % of a mile and the installation of a lift station.
Due to the excessive cost of these sewer improvements in relation to the potential number of lots
that could have been developed on the property, sewer was never extended. Given this, the
property owner now requests to deannex the property in order to develop the subdivision under
Rogers County standards with aerobic septic systems. After internal discussions with City staff, it
was determined that the best course of action would be to retain the statutory ROW along E
106th St N up to N 161st E Ave within City Limits and under City jurisdiction in case of future
annexation requests near the intersection of E 106th St N and N 161st E Ave.
PLANNING COMMISSION:
The Owasso Planning Commission will consider this item at their meeting on October 8, 2018.

SUBJECT:
Adoption of the Official Zoning Map of Owasso, Discussion
DATE:
October 5, 2018
BACKGROUND:
On June 15, 2018, the City Council approved the new Owasso Zoning Code, effective on July
15, 2018. During the course of the adoption process of the Zoning Code, it was discussed with
the Planning Commission and the City Council that staff intended to present a new, official
Zoning Map for consideration after the adoption of the new Code.
Since the early 1970s, Owasso's official Zoning Map has been kept by the Indian Nation Council
of Government's ( INCOG) mapping division. This map serves as City staff's primary source for
checking the zoning, and therefore the allowed land uses, on an individual's property. Staff also
regularly uses the Zoning Map in conjunction with the GrOwasso 2030 Land Use Master Plan in
evaluating various development applications, such as Planned Unit Developments (PUDs) and
Site Plans.
However, in the past several years, discrepancies began to surface between what was
designated on the official Zoning Map kept by INCOG and what the County Assessor's office
had identified in their database. Discrepancies between these two sources of zoning information
were also found in the underlying zoning of some PUDs when compared to how the PUDs were
approved by the Owasso City Council. These inconsistencies can result in significant issues for
both City staff and developers. For example, in 2012 a mapping error due to a confusing legal
description resulted in an error on the official Zoning Map that caused a two -month delay with a
significant development project.
Having an accurate Zoning Map is critical to the performance of the Community Development
Department and the City as a whole. Conflicting information on the Zoning Map causes
confusion, uncertainty, loss of time and productivity, and exposes the City to legal challenges.
Having one correct Zoning Map serving as the official Zoning Map from this point forward
alleviates these issues. Extensive research has been done on the causes of these zoning
discrepancies. Staff has now verified the correct zoning for properties in Owasso and has
created a new Zoning Map.
PROPOSED NEW OWASSO ZONING MAP:
First and foremost, the proposed new Zoning Map aims to address the inconsistencies between
INCOG's Owasso Zoning Map, the County Assessors' records, and ordinances on file for the City
of Owasso. Over the past several years, staff has located and reviewed many filed ordinances
and PUD documents in an effort to determine the correct zoning on properties where
discrepancies were known to exist. Additionally, INCOG's maps were compared to internal
maps to identify areas of inconsistency. The proposed new Zoning Map would correct these
zoning issues. It was found that the errors typically occurred for the following reasons:
• An ordinance was not sent to INCOG so their map was not correctly updated
• The legal descriptions were not mapped correctly
• The ordinance did not identify the proper zoning
• The underlying zoning of a PUD was never called out in the ordinance and thus was
never shown correctly on the map
Second, the proposed Owasso Zoning Map addresses zoning in the Downtown District. In
previous versions of the Owasso Zoning Code, the CH (Commercial High Intensity) zoning district
was used to "accommodate high intensity commercial and related uses." Historically, a majority
of the CH zoning in Owasso was in the downtown area. When the Downtown Overlay District
was passed in 2015, it placed modified requirements for development in the Downtown District.
Due to the Downtown Overlay requirements, many of the uses historically allowed in the CH
zoning district were no longer allowed except for those already in operation, essentially making
them non - conforming uses.
In the new Zoning Code, additional rezoning of any property in Owasso to the CH zoning district
beyond what is already active is not permitted. To supplement the discontinuation of the CH
zoning district, the DM (Downtown Mixed) zoning district was created with the new Zoning Code
to "accommodate certain types of high- intensity commercial, mixed -use, office, and residential
development." Essentially, the DM district was established to supplant the CH district, with the
stipulations of the DM zoning district being better suited to the development desired within the
Downtown Overlay District.
With the new Zoning Map, staff is proposing to rename properties zoned CH within the
Downtown Overlay District to the DM zoning district. This is not a rezoning of the property, but a
renaming of the zoning district. The renaming of properties that are currently zoned CH to DM
zoning in the Downtown Overlay District would not place additional restrictions on those
properties. The restrictions of the Overlay District already limit the types of land uses and
development that are allowed in the District regardless of how the property is zoned. Also,
existing land uses on property currently zoned CH within the Downtown District would still be
allowed to operate under the requirements of the CH zoning district, as long as that use was in
operation before the Overlay District was approved. Under the requirements of the Non -
Conformities chapter in the Owasso Zoning Code, those existing land uses may continue until
the land use changes or significant development occurs on the property.
It is import ant to note that no downzoning of any property is proposed by the new Zoning Map.
The proposed new map simply addresses inconsistencies and renames CH -zoned properties in
the Downtown District to the DM zoning district. The proposed new Zoning Map corrects all the
zoning errors discussed above and presents an accurate representation of how properties in
Owasso are zoned. If approved, it would become the singular Zoning Map to be referenced for
Owasso, and it would be sent to INCOG as a replacement for the map currently used by that
entity. Staff is now prepared to bring the proposed new Owasso Zoning Map to the Planning
Commission and City Council for the required Public Hearings.
PUBLIC INPUT AND HEARING:
On Wednesday September 26, 2018, a public input meeting was held in the Community Room
at City Hall to allow citizens to review the new map and ask questions. No citizens attended the
public input meeting. Subsequent to this meeting, the proposed Zoning Map was posted on the
City's web page.
As with any Zoning Map change, a public hearing is required. Notice of the required public
hearings was posted in the Owasso Reporter on October 3, 2018. The public hearings are
scheduled to be on the agendas for the Planning Commission meeting on October 8, 2018 and
the City Council meeting on October 16, 2018.
Staff also anticipates bringing the proposed Owasso Zoning Map for consideration at the
Planning Commission meeting on November 12, 2018, and for consideration and final action at
the City Council meeting on November 20, 2018.

SUBJECT: 2020 Census - Complete Count Committee (CCC)
DATE: October 5, 2018
BACKGROUND:
The 2020 Census is rapidly approaching, and the US Census Bureau is encouraging communities
to begin getting the word out in order to obtain an accurate population count. As part of this
effort, the Census Bureau is encouraging communities to form or be part of a Complete Count
Committee. Complete Count Committees play a key role in developing local and regional
partners to educate and motivate residents to participate in the upcoming 2020 Census. These
Committees also provide a vehicle for coordinating and nurturing cooperative efforts between
the Census Bureau, communities, and their tribal, state, and local governments. One of the key
purposes of the Complete Count Committee is to specifically target hard- to-reach
socioeconomic and minority populations that, in the past, have been difficult to reach and,
therefore, have been likely undercounted in the census.
COMPLETE COUNT COMMITTEE PARTICIPATION:
Staff has been informed by the Census Bureau that a Complete Count Committee has been
formed for the Tulsa area and is headed by Melanie Poulter, Manager of the Census Information
Center of Eastern Oklahoma. Staff contacted Ms. Poulter and expressed interest in participating
in and joining their Complete Count Committee for the Tulsa area, and she was receptive and
excited for the City to join. Considering the purpose and goal of the Complete Count
Committee, the Community Development Department and the Strong Neighborhood
Coordinator Jerry Fowler will work closely with the committee, and also involve schools,
churches, non - profit and civic organizations, the media, businesses, and other entities.
RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT:
As part of Owasso's participation in the Greater Tulsa Area Complete Count Committee, the
Census Bureau has asked that a resolution of support be considered by the Owasso City Council
affirming our participation in and efforts towards getting as accurate a census count as possible.
Owasso's participation in this effort is important, as having a complete census count helps
communities with federal funding and grants for various programs.
Staff will bring forth a Resolution for consideration supporting Owasso's participation in the
Greater Tulsa Area Complete Count Committee at the October 16, 2018, City Council meeting.

SUBJECT: Amendment to Part 9, Chapter 3, Mobile Food Vendors
Owasso Code of Ordinances
DATE: October 5, 2018
BACKGROUND:
Over the last several months, staff has been going through the process of updating Part 9,
Chapter 3 of the Code of Ordinances. This chapter sets requirements for mobile food vendors in
Owasso. In the last few years, the popularity of food trucks has increased, leading to a significant
increase in the number of mobile food vendor permits issued on a yearly basis by the City Clerk.
The adoption of the new Owasso Zoning Code introduced the Temporary Use Permit (TUP) that
would, under certain circumstances, apply to some mobile food vendors. It was determined by
staff that it was necessary to rewrite this Chapter of the Code of Ordinances so as to clarify and
streamline the mobile food vendor permitting process.
A draft of the proposed edits to Part 9, Chapter 3 of the Code of Ordinances was brought by
staff to the City Council Work Session meeting on August 14, 2018. After discussion between staff
and members of the Council, it was decided that staff would edit the proposed changes to
address Council's concerns and the dialog would continue at a later date. Staff has now made
those edits and is bringing a revised version of the proposed amended chapter to Council for
further discussion.
PROPOSED ACTION:
Staff is proposing changes to this chapter, including those driven by City Council discussion. First,
the definitions of mobile food vendors have been updated to better reflect the types of mobile
food vendors that are most often seen in Owasso, creating three (3) classifications of mobile
food vendors that must acquire a Mobile Food Vendor Permit from the City Clerk's office.
One classification of mobile food vendors in Owasso would encompass all food trucks, trailers or
carts. These are food vendors that operate from a vehicle, trailer, or cart that is designed and
equipped to prepare and serve open food products. A second group of mobile food vendors
that would be regulated under this chapter would be pre - packaged food vendors that only sell
commercially- manufactured, pre- packaged products. Ice cream trucks would be included in
this group. The final classification would be for stationary food vendors. Stationary food vendors
are those, of any type, that stay in one (1) location for longer than seventy -two (72) hours. All
stationary food vendors would be required to get a Temporary Use Permit (TUP) from the
Community Development Department.
Another significant change is that background checks would only apply to those mobile food
vendors who intend to operate in residential neighborhoods, such as ice cream trucks. Also, the
proposed fee for a mobile food vendor permit was reduced to fifty dollars ($50) for all types of
mobile food vendors that do not require a Temporary Use Permit (TUP). Many of the permitting
requirements for mobile food vendors that are currently in place, such as valid proof of all State
and County Health Department licenses as well as State Sales Tax Permit information, would
remain in effect.
PREVIOUS DISCUSSION AND RESULTING EDITS:
City Council initially reviewed and discussed the proposed changes to Part 9, Chapter 3 of the
Code of Ordinances at their Work Session meeting on August 14, 2018. Several aspects of the
proposed changes were discussed and some concerns were voiced by Councilors at that
meeting. To address those concerns, staff has made several adjustments to the proposed
changes for the mobile food vendor permitting process:
• First, staff has added language to clarify that a mobile food vendor is classified as a
stationary food vendor when it stays in one (1) location longer than seventy -two (72)
hours within a thirty (30) day period. According to the Owasso Zoning Code, all stationary
food vendors must acquire a Temporary Use Permit (TUP). By including language that
specifies that the requirement is seventy -two (72) hours within a thirty (30) day period, it
helps avoid any vagueness regarding how and when to require a mobile food vendor to
procure a TUP.
• Concerns regarding the requirement that all "mobile food /stationary food vendors must
stay at least three hundred (300) feet from any Food Service Establishment unless part of
a Special Event or permission from the property owner is obtained" were brought up at
the August Work Session meeting. Some Councilors believed that it was inappropriate for
the City to regulate where private businesses could be located. Staff has removed that
requirement from the proposed update.
• One of the proposed additions to this Chapter in the Code of Ordinances was that all
mobile food vendors would not be allowed to have a drive -thru window. The reasoning
behind this proposed restriction was discussed at the August Work Session meeting.
Mobile food vendors are often placed in parking lots, and can often alter or block traffic
patterns within those parking lots. This is generally not an issue, as long as emergency
access is not affected, adequate parking is still provided, and the property owner has
granted permission for the Mobile Food Vendor to be parked there. However, the
Owasso Zoning Code states that all "food and /or beverage service uses" must allow for
a "minimum of five (5) queuing spaces... from the point of service." After further internal
discussion, staff has edited the restriction to exclude stationary food vendors. This is
because all stationary food vendors must get a Temporary Use Permit (TUP) from the
Community Development Department, and part of the TUP approval process involves
the submittal of a Site Plan for review. At that time, if the Stationary Food Vendor intends
to have a drive -thru window, staff can determine if the queuing requirement would be
met by the applicant. Because there is no Site Plan requirement for other types of mobile
food vendors, staff is proposing that those types still be disqualified from having a drive -
thru.
• The proposed fee amount of fifty dollars ($50) was also discussed at the August Work
Session meeting. Some Councilors expressed concerns that the fee amount may be too
high. Many mobile food vendors travel from city to city, and therefore must pay permit
fees at each city. Each city's permit fees can add up, resulting in significant costs for
mobile food vendors. After further internal discussion, staff has reduced the proposed fee
amount to twenty -five dollars ($25).
• Finally, concerns were raised by Council members on restricting the hours of operation
for mobile food vendors. Staff has left in the allowable hours of operation at 7:00am-
10:00pm in order to provide the opportunity for further discussion of the items by Council
at the October Work Session meeting.

SUBJECT:
Special Events Ordinance and Resolution
DATE:
October 5, 2018
BACKGROUND:
At the May 2018 work session, staff introduced the concept of establishing a special events
ordinance with a resolution to establish a fee structure to accompany. Special events provide
opportunities for citizens and visitors alike to gather and participate in memorable and fun - filled
experiences. These occurrences bond our community by bringing a variety of people together
to celebrate their lives with common purpose and promote good will within our community.
In January 2014, staff began developing standards and guidelines to set expectations for
everyone involved in the process. An application was created to gather pertinent information
allowing staff to understand the scope of the event, provide guidance, allocate resources and
emphasize public safety. Over the last 4 years, staff has managed this tool as a guideline without
any fees or financial requirements.
DISCUSSION:
As our community grows, these gatherings will occur more frequently and become larger in
scale. This requires more coordination and places greater demand on limited city resources.
Staff believes it is necessary to implement protocol to assist in a balanced approach in
regulating time, place and manner of special event to protect public health, safety and
resources, and to reduce any adverse impacts on public places.
Staff is proposing an ordinance to establish a required special events permit and resolution with
a corresponding fee structure. Implementing a fee structure will not fully recover the full cost of
staff time and utilization of city resources; however, the funds will off -set a portion of the
requirements to administer and oversee the events.
Key points to staff's proposal include:
• All special events will require a permit issued by City of Owasso
• Permits are requested by application and reviewed by staff prior to approval
• Fee structure for non - profit and for - profit organizations
• Fee schedule increases according to size of the event
• Any closing of streets will require additional fee
• Refundable deposit will be returned to applicant upon event completion with no damage

TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Juliann M. Stevens
City Clerk
SUBJECT: Ward 5 City Council Election
DATE: October 5, 2018
BACKGROUND:
Pursuant to the provisions of the Owasso City Charter governing the election of City Council
members, "the Council shall take action by Resolution to call any necessary Ward Elections." In
2019, such election is required for Ward 5, for a three -year term.
In 2015, the Oklahoma Legislature passed and Governor Fallin signed two bills effecting elections
conducted by the County Election Boards. The City of Owasso utilizes the Tulsa County Election
Board to facilitate our city elections, therefore Owasso elections are affected by these changes
and create conflict with our city charter language regarding elections.
Resolutions for elections not conforming to these new requirements will not be accepted and will
not be conducted by the County Election Board.
ELECTION DETAILS:
The election date and filing periods are set in accordance with state laws governing elections
conducted by the County Election Board.
The primary election will be held on February 12, 2019. The general election, if necessary, will be
held on April 2, 2019.
Only qualified electors who reside within the ward shall be qualified to hold the office of City
Council Member for that ward. However, all registered voters residing within the Owasso city
limits may vote in the election. Should one of the candidates not receive the majority of all votes
cast for the particular ward, a general election will be held.
FILING PERIOD FOR INTERESTED CANDIDATES:
The resolution calling the Ward 5 election is due to the Election Board by November 16, 2018;
therefore, the filing period must begin no later than 20 days following. This makes the filing
period in December and significantly different from the Owasso Charter language setting the
filing period for the first Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of February.
The filing period for interested candidates will be December 3, 4, and 5, 2018. Interested
candidates must file a Declaration of Candidacy form with the Tulsa County Election Board on
any of these dates between the hours of 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM.
PROPOSED ACTION:
Staff anticipates submitting a resolution to the Council during the November 6, 2018, meeting for
consideration and appropriate action.
