ITEM 6: CONSIDERATION AND APPROPRIATE ACTION RELATING TO AN
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE OWASSO PUBLIC WORKS AUTHORITY
AND ROGERS COUNTY RURAL WATER DISTRICT #3 PROVIDING FOR
THE PURCHASE OF CERTAIN PORTIONS OF THE WATER DISTRICT'S
SERVICE AREA.
Mr Ray presented this item stating that discussions have been held with Rogers County Rural
Water District staff relating to the acquisition of certain portions of the District as the City's
growth moves into the District's service area. It is proposed that the City of Owasso acquire,
at this time, approximately 1'/2 sections of primarily undeveloped land in the area immediately
north of Owasso High School and east of 129th East Avenue. A contract has been developed
and reviewed by staff and the city attorney. Questions raised by the Trustees included a concern
with the rural water district insisting that their existing customers in the service area be given
city rates instead of out -of -city rates. This would create two classes of rural water customers,
giving one class preferential treatment over the other. Concern was also expressed about making
a lump sum payment, with a question raised about where the funds will come from for that
payment. The developer of the land in that area, Nobel Sokolosky, was present and answered
questions presented to him by the Trustees. Mr Sokolosky requested that this item be tabled.
Following discussion John Phillips moved to table this item to the next regular meeting. Motion
was seconded by Bob Randolph.
AYE: Phillips, Randolph, Gittelman, Marlar
NAY: None
Motion carried 4-0.
ITEM 7: CONSIDERATION AND APPROPRIATE ACTION RELATING TO A
PRESENTATION REGARDING THE CONTINUATION OF A YARDWASTE
SEPARATION PROGRAM
Mr Augustine and Mr Knebel presented this item. In November 1992 a special project review
committee was established to evaluate the City's yardwaste separation program. Based on that
review, staff is recommending continuation of the program, purchase of polycarts for yardwaste,
and purchase of 40,000 yardwaste bags for delivery in July. The committee also proposed a
fully permitted Health Department approved compost project and a comprehensive marketing
plan to inform the citizens of all aspects of the program. Following discussion John Phillips
moved to continue the yardwaste/compost program; to include the option of yardwaste-only red
polycarts for those citizens who wish this option and to proceed with the purchase of 100 of the
polycarts; to authorize staff to prepare bid information for 40,000 city -approved yardwaste bags
for delivery in July; and to proceed with soil testing on a compost site with the cost not to

exceed $1500 for that testing, with staff reporting back to the Trustees as they pursue a permit
for a compost site. Motion was seconded by Jason Gittelman.
AYE: Phillips, Gittelman, Randolph, Marlar
NAY: None
Motion carried 4-0.
ITEM 8: CONSIDERATION AND APPROPRIATE ACTION RELATIVE TO A
REQUEST TO PURCHASE 100 RED POLYCARTS
Staff has solicited quotes for a bulk purchase of red refuse carts for use by yardwaste separation
Program customers. The specifications call for a unit price quote for a 90 gallon minimum size,
ordered in amounts of 100, with a guaranteed unit price for one year from Notice of Award and
a delivery date of April 1, 1993. Quote requests were mailed to four vendors, with two
responding. After reviewing the quotes, as well as the polycarts from both vendors, staff
recommended purchase of 100 red polycarts (poly -kart 2000), 90 gallon size, for a unit price
of $61.00 and a lump sum price of $6100.00 from Williams Refuse Equipment Co. John
Phillips moved, seconded by Jason Gittelman, to approve the polycart purchase per staff
recommendation.
AYE: Phillips, Gittelman, Randolph, Marlar
NAY: None
Motion carried 4-0.
ITEM 9: CONSIDERATION AND APPROPRIATE ACTION RELATING TO A
REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION TO SOLICIT BIDS FOR THE PURCHASE
OF YARDWASTE COLLECTION BAGS
Mr Augustine stated that the City currently has an inventory of 12,000 yardwaste bags on hand
in anticipation of the upcoming yardwaste separation program. It is projected that these bags
should last until July 1993. Staff believes that the purchase of a larger quantity of bags (40,000)
would be the most cost effective method to use. John Phillips moved, seconded by Jason
Gittelman, to authorize the solicitation of bids for 40,000 yardwaste collection bags for delivery
in July 1993.
AYE: Phillips, Gittelman, Randolph, Marlar
