ITEM 5: CONSIDERATION AND APPROPRIATE ACTION RELATING TO OPWA
RESOLUTION #2000-05 A RESOLUTION DECLARING AS SURPLUS TO THE
NEEDS OF THE AUTHORITY REAL PROPERTY GENERALLY LOCATED
SOUTH OF THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT AUTHORIZING A
COMPETITIVE SALE PROCESS AND OUTLINING OBJECTIVES.
Mr Cates presented the resolution to declare the above -referenced property surplus and offer it
for sale through the receiving of competitive proposals. The land is currently being used by the
OPWA to dispose of yardwaste. A proposal was received earlier in the year from a developer
who wanted to reclaim the land and construct a building on it for his business. At that time a
question was raised about putting the land out for competitive bids. It the resolution is approved,
a legal notice will appear in the Owasso Reporter on August 3, 2000, with proposals being
accepted until August 8, 2000. An item to accept a proposal would then be placed on the August
15, 2000 OPWA agenda. Tom Kimball asked if there is a plan in place to dispose of the
yardwaste if the land is sold. Mr Carr answered that there is no plan. Mr Kimball stated that
there should be a plan and that citizens should be informed about what will happen to the
yardwaste program. Councilor Brogdon questioned the time frame being allowed for the
solicitation of proposals. He does not believe that six days will allow anyone sufficient time to
develop a proposal. He also asked what would happen if the required reclamation of the land
does not occur. Mr Cates said that controls would be established and a performance bond would
be required. Councilor Voss asked it anyone has seen the stipulations (controls). Mr Cates
answered that they have not yet been established. Councilor Voss also questioned the time frame
for the solicitation of proposals, and asked how many yardwaste customers there are. Mr Carr
estimated 500-750, but did not have the exact figures with him. Mr Brogdon moved, seconded
by Ms Voss, to table this item until more information is available to the Council and citizens,
including a plan for the collection and disposal of yardwaste; that current customers be informed
of the plans; that the approximate number of current yardwaste customers be identified, and that,
if it is deemed viable to dispose of the land, a longer time frame be allowed for proposals.

DISTRICT NO 3, WASHINGTON COUNTY OKLAHOMA AND THE OWASSO
PUBLIC WORKS AUTHORITY, RELATING TO AN INTERCONNECTION ON
EAST 96TH STREET NORTH IN THE "OWASSO MARKET" AREA FOR
RECIPROCAL PROVISION OF EMERGENCY WATER SERVICE.
Mr Cates presented the item. The Owasso Market is provided water service by Rural Water
District No 3, Washington County. The proposed agreement provides for the OPWA to provide
emergency water service to the rural water district in the event that the rural water district would
have an inadequate supply of water for the area, which might occur if there were a major fire.
The agreement also provides that the rural water district would furnish water to the OPWA if the
OPWA were to experience a water shortage in the area. Mr Brogdon moved, seconded by
Ms Voss, to approve the Agreement for Emergency Water Service between Rural Water District
No 3, Washington County, Oklahoma and the Owasso Public Works Authority, and to authorize
the Mayor to execute the agreement.
