ITEM 6: CONSIDERATION AND APPROPRIATE ACTION RELATING TO OPWA
RESOLUTION #2001-09 A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING SANITARY SEWER
RATES AND REFUSE RATES FOR RURAL WATER CUSTOMERS RESIDING
WITHIN THE CORPORATE LIMITS OF THE CITY OF OWASSO.
Ms Bishop said that the City Council and OPWA Trustees approved agreements with Rural
Water District #3 Rogers County and Rural Water District #3 Washington County in December
1999. Those agreements specify the responsibilities of the rural water districts serving customers
residing within the city limits of Owasso and served by city utilities (sanitary sewer, refuse and
ambulance) Rates for city services have increased, but the resolution setting rates for rural water
customers was not updated. Resolution #2001-09 updates those rates, and references the
"applicable rate" as established by the OPWA so that any future rate changes will automatically
apply to rural water district customers. Mr Williams moved, seconded by Ms Armstrong, to
approve OPWA Resolution #2001-09.

Motion carried 5-0.
ITEM 7: CONSIDERATION AND APPROPRIATE ACTION RELATING TO AN
AMENDMENT TO A REVENUE ANTICIPATION NOTE BETWEEN THE CITY
OF OWASSO AND THE OWASSO PUBLIC WORDS AUTHORITY.
Ms Bishop presented the item. In March of 1998, the OPWA Trustees approved a concept plan
for the construction and funding of the Elm Creek Sewer Interceptor project. The concept
allowed the interceptor to be constructed with city -backed financing supported by a private
sector "pay -back" as the property develops. The Revenue Anticipation Note between the City
and OPWA matured as of August 4, 2001 and must be paid or amended to provide payment at a
future date. Staff proposes that the interest be paid until a bank note, which was also utilized for
the project, be paid in December 2003. The proposed amended Revenue Anticipation Note for
$712,970.39 would pay 4% interest semi-annually in February and August until maturity. Semi-
annual principal payments would begin in February of 2004 and continue through August of
2008. The RAN may be paid off at any time should funds become available. Mr Helm moved,
seconded by Mr Brogdon, to approve the proposed amendment to a Revenue Anticipation Note
dated August 4, 1998 between the City of Owasso and the Owasso Public Works Authority, and
authorize payment of accrued interest in the amount of $70,060.42.

ITEM 8: CONSIDERATION AND APPROPRIATE ACTION RELATING TO CHANGE
ORDER #1 A CHANGE ORDER TO A CONTRACT BETWEEN THE OWASSO
PUBLIC WORKS AUTHORITY AND SAPULPA DIGGING INC FOR THE
CONSTRUCTION OF THE ATOR RELIEF LINE.
Mr Bates said that the Ator Relief Line project eliminates the Ator Lift Station in compliance
with the ODEQ consent order dated December 12, 1998. The agreed upon date of completion is
September 1, 2001. The contractor has requested a time extension of 81 days to perform a creek
repair on the Ranch Creek Interceptor through the McCarty property, and to drill through
unanticipated hard rock. This change order is a request for a time extension only, & no
additional cost will be incurred by granting the additional time. Mr Williams moved, seconded
by Mr Brogdon, to approve Change Order #1, adding 81 days to the project time and extending
the completion date to November 14, 2001.
