contacted the Public Works Department today to schedule the repairs during the time frame of

equipment, coordination has been made with Tulsa County for the paving, with the City of
Owasso providing materials, Tulsa County providing labor and equipment, and the railroad
providing traffic control. Since this notification was only received today, and since there will not
be another City Council meeting prior to the scheduled work, this constitutes an item that could
not have been foreseen in time to be listed on the posted agenda. Mr Williams moved, seconded
by Ms Voss, to approve the Interlocal Agreement with Tulsa County for paving at the SKO
Railroad crossing on 76th St N at the west city limits, and to authorize the Mayor to execute the
