FROM: M.A. ALEXANDER
CHIEF OF POLICE
SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR PURCHASE OF COMPUTER EQUIPMENT
DATE: NOVEMBER 3, 1994
BACKGROUND:
In the Fall of 1993, a computer was introduced to the Owasso Police Patrol Division.
This equipment was provided to expedite the writing of police narrative reports in
addition to providing a higher quality product in completed reports. Currently 100% of
commissioned patrol officers use this equipment to aid in the processing of police
reports. The need to expand this technology is great.
The Police Department 1994 -1995 Budget provided for the purchase of computers
through Capital Expenditures, as approved by council.
In September of this year, the Computer Specialist, Mike Knebel conducted extensive
research toward the purchase of a computer for the Finance Department. Mr Knebel
obtained information and quotes on the following equipment:
Epson 486DX/33 desktop computer
8 megabytes RAM
240 Megabyte fixed disk
Dual floppy disk drives
Parallel, serial, mouse ports
MSDOS 6.2 and Windows 3.1
14" super VGA monitor
VESA local bus graphics
One year on -site parts and labor warranty
This is the identical unit which is requested for purchase by the police department
UTILIZATION:
The purchase of an additional computer will update a system utilized by the
administrative assistant to the Chief of Police and will make available a Telex 386 for use
in the patrol division. This rotation will provide additional equipment to officers so that
reports can be completed in a more timely and efficient manner.
COST COMPARISON:
Quotes were updated recently from the vendors who provided initial prices;
Memory Systems/ Connecting Point
Broken Arrow $1,640.00
MicroAge Computer Center
Tulsa, OK $1,640.00
Epson Direct
Torrance, CA $1,578.95
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends council approval toward the expenditure of $1,578.95 to Epson Direct
for the purchase of an Epson Endeavor VL system as previously described.

MEMORANDUM
TO: RODNEY J RAY
OWASSO CITY MANAGER
FROM: MICHAEL J. KNEBEL
COMPUTER SPECIALIST
SUBJECT: MICROCOMPUTER PURCHASE REQUEST
DATE: September 13, 1994
BACKGROUND
In 1984, the City purchased a Texas Instruments computer system and municipal accounting
programs through CPS Business Systems. The system currently includes a central processor
(upgraded in 1990), a system terminal, five data terminals, two high speed printers, a modem,
and three IBM compatible microcomputers acting as accounting data terminals on an as needed
basis.
As outlined in the attached memorandum dated April 16, 1992, the City reduced the scope of the
accounting system hardware maintenance contract in late 1988. This change decreased the
annual maintenance agreement cost buy $2,911 (in 1988 dollars). Since that time, the City has
purchased repair services for the terminals and printers on a "per incident basis" at a total cost
of less than $2,000. Additionally, one system terminal was totally replaced with an IBM
compatible microcomputer in 1992. Through the minor contract modification, the functional
cost of the City's computerized accounting system for a six year period has been reduced by
well over $14,000.
Also discussed in the attached memo is the finance department's budgeting for one
microcomputer each year to cover the possibility of a data terminal failure. The budgeted funds
should not be expended if (1) the particular terminal could be repaired with "in house" spare
parts or (2) the need for another microcomputer is not clearly defined.
DATA TERMINAL DAMAGED BY LIGHTNING
On July 14 of this year, several pieces of electronic equipment at City Hall incurred severe
lightning damage. All of the non - critical electronic devices had been "powered down" prior to
the intense local lightning. Because that precautionary measure was taken, the only component
damage that occurred originated through the system's communication wiring and intersystem
connections. Please note that this type of damage is very unusual and is not readily avoidable,
therefore the City's insurance will cover repair costs beyond the deductible amount.
One of the five data terminals connected to the accounting system sustained significant damage. '
The service technician from CPS Business Systems is of the opinion that it would cost more to
repair the damaged Texas Instruments 931 terminal than to replace it. Replacement cost is '
$790.
OFFICE COMPUTER USAGE
Currently, the microcomputer system in the accounting and personnel office is shared by three ,
users. Two of the staff members in this office also utilize accounting data terminals on their
desks for access to most of the accounting data an d functions. The "PC" is used as a payroll
and accounting data terminal, word processor, data analysis system, post - processor for payroll ,
warrant lists, and pre/post- processor for several other miscellaneous receivables, payables, and
personnel functions. It is apparent from observation and office output that another
microcomputer in this office would certainly alleviate work scheduling difficulties and therefore
increase efficiency.
MICROCOMPUTER AND VENDOR
As you are well aware, prices of computer components are still falling rapidly. Vendors do not '
necessarily enjoy this trend because of the low margins that currently exist for computer
equipment. It has been my observation that when a system price is reduced to somewhere near ,
the $1,200 range, that model is discontinued and a more capable new model is introduced at the
top end of the price spectrum. This trend effects the City departments both positively and
negatively. On the positive side, with each new computer system purchase, the City is acquiring
hardware with many more capabilities for the same investment made on the older and less
powerful systems. The negative side effect of this is that the older systems (and the programs
that run on them) are no longer produced and /or supported by the vendors. This is not a major
problem until other new auxiliary equipment such as modems, fax capabilities, printers, etc. are
added and the devices are not supported by the older computer programs. With this in mind, it
is in the City's best interest to purchase reasonably priced "up to date" equipment from a
manufacturer with a responsible attitude toward future service.
Several vendors have been contacted for a quote on the following system (the quotations include
delivery costs):
Epson 486DX/33 desktop computer
8 Megabytes RAM
240 Megabyte fixed disk
Dual floppy disk drives
Parallel, serial, mouse ports
MSDOS 6.2 and Windows 3.1 '
14" super VGA monitor
VESA local bus graphics
One year on -site parts and labor warranty
Memory Systems /Connecting Point .. ............................... $1,850
Broken Arrow, OK
Epson Direct ................ ............................... $1,694
Torrance, CA
MicroAge Computer Center ........... ..................... $1,899
Tulsa, OK
Please note that the current Finance Department budget contains the previously discussed $2,000
contingency for the purchase of a microcomputer_ and the City's insurance carrier will reimburse
$790 of the system cost (replacement cost of a TI 931 data terminal) as part of the claim
settlement.
RECOMAMNDATION
I recommend the expenditure of $1,694 to Epson Direct, Torrance, California, for the purchase
of an Epson Endeavor VL system configured as previously described.

SUBJECT: COPS FAST Grant
DATE: NOVEMBER 10, 1994
BACKGROUND:
The Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, signed by the President on
September 13th, created a federal -local law enforcement partnership and the opportunity
to hire 10,000 new police officers. With community policing as its base, the program is
intended to encourage the development of the police- citizen cooperation to control crime.
The Attorney General has established the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services
(COPS) to expedite the hiring of new officers and to implement community policing
programs.
The department of Justice and the new COPS office announced a grant program designed
to aid agencies serving populations less than 50, 000. The program is identified as Funding
Accelerated for Smaller Towns (FAST). This program is designed to speed the
development of new officers devoted to community policing on the streets and in rural
areas.
Before any funding can begin, jurisdictions approved for funding will be required to
submit necessary budget information and a brief description of the community policing
plan. Funding will begin once the application is approved and officers are sworn in.
Grants will be made for up to 75% of the total salary and benefits of each officer over a
three year period, up to a maximum of $75,000 per officer.
This plan would greatl enhance the ,proactive roactive ro ams within the community and
Y p programs y aid in
crime prevention efforts. Officers hired under this proposal, would relieve commissioned
officers from daily non -police requests, thus enhancing community oriented police
services. This will allow new community programs to be established which will be directly
associated with crime reduction and community crime education.
Applications for Grant consideration became available on November 1, 1994. It is requested
that this application be completed and returned so that consideration for these programs
can be made for our community.
The completion of the attached application does not obligate the City to any financial
commitment. The completion only advises the US Department of Justice that the City of
Owasso is interested in being considered for Grant monies.
A Fact Sheet and further information is attached for your review.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends council approval on completion of attached application to be considered I
for grant funds and for the Mayor to execute said request.

Funding Accelerated for Smaller Towns
(COPS FAST) for Populations under 50,000
Program Information
The COPS FAST Application is one of several
approaches developed by the Department of Justice under
the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of
1994 to speed the deployment of new officers devoted to
community policing on the streets and rural routes in this
nation. As directed by Congress, the FAST Application
dramatically simplifies the task of applying for a federal
grant. The FAST Application may be used by jurisdic-
tions with populations under 50,000, while the COPS
AHEAD approach will expedite the hiring by agencies
serving larger populations.
Funding Provisions
❑ The FAST Application -- a fill -in- the - blank, one page
form -- will be available by November 1, 1994. The
application will request basic identifying information
about the agency, the number of police officers currently
on the force and the number of new officers requested,
basic financial information, 'and an agreement to abide by
standard legal requirements.
❑ Completed applications will be due to the COPS Of-
fice by December 31, 1994. The COPS Office will in-
form the agency of an authorized hiring level by February
1, 1995. Before funding may begin, jurisdictions desig-
nated for funding will be required to submit necessary
budget information and a brief, satisfactory description of
community policing plans. Technical assistance with the
development of policing plans will be provided to juris-
dictions in need of such assistance.
❑ Up to $165 million in grants will be made under
COPS FAST to state, local and other public law enforce-
ment agencies which serve populations under 50,000. If
requests exceed the funds available, the amount or start-
ing date of grants may be adjusted to accommodate de-
mand.
❑ Funding will begirt once the FAST Application has
been approved and the -new officers have been sworn.
Grants will be made for up to 75 percent of the total sal-
ary and benefits of each officer over three years, up to a
maximum of $75,000 per officer.
❑ COPS grant funds must not be used to replace funds
that eligible agencies otherwise would have devoted to
future officer hiring. In other words, any hiring under the
COPS program must be in addition to, and not in lieu of,
previous hiring plans.
❑ In hiring new officers, agencies may not reduce the
scope of their customary screening and training proce-
dures, and must include community policing principles in
their training curricula. In addition, to the extent practi-
cable, COPS grant funds should be used to increase the
representation of women and racial and ethnic minorities
within the ranks of sworn officers.
❑ An award under COPS FAST will not affect the con-
sideration of an agency's application for a grant under any
other COPS program. An agency that received funding
under COPS Phase I is eligible to receive additional fund-
ing under COPS FAST.

FIRE CHIEF
SUBJECT: WORK UNIFORMS
DATE: November 10, 1994
BACKGROUND:
For the past several months, our uniform committee has been reviewing and evaluating the
effectiveness of our work uniform. The uniform committee finding was conclusive that our
present work uniform is substandard according to state and federal safety requirements.
I strongly support the recommendation of the uniform committee. There are several issues that
have been a continuing problem with our current work uniform. If the recommendation to
purchase work uniforms is approved, the problems we are dealing with today will be corrected.
The following is a list of a few benefits directly associated with
changing our present work uniform.
1. Compliance with safety requirements which states clothing worn under protective fire
fighting gear must be 100% cotton.
2. The new work uniform is far more durable.
3. The material in the work pant can be redyed.
I 4. The requirement to purchase dress uniforms, collar brass, and badges will be
reduced.:•
' 5. Compliance with cleaning clothing that has been exposed to a bloodborne pathogen
will be achieved.

Over the past 90 days the uniform committee has researched the
following types of vendors:
Uniform stores rental /retail
Retail stores (Wal-Mart, Anthonys, etc.)
Sporting good stores
Western wear stores
Shoe stores
In review of these vendors, the committee agrees that the minimum
quality of uniform, for safety reasons, would be 100% cotton
garments.
Safety was the most important factor considered.
NFPA 1500 A -5 -1.7 "Clothing that is made from 100% natural
fibers or blends that are principally natural fibers should be
selected over other fabrics that have poor thermal stability
or ignite easily."
OSU -FST mandated that all persons involved ill live
t firefighting must have a minimum of 100% cotton clothing worn
under structural f4 ref iyhtina protective clothing to
participate in live firefighting evaluations.
' The present Uniforms of 65% polyester and 35% cotton are not
acceptable. The Uniform Committee recommends a minimum protection
Of 100% cotton for a station /work uniform.
All recommendations selected by the committee were presented to the
members of the Fire Department and accepted by the majority.

In reviewing all the different styles of station /work :uniforms on
the market, there were many uniforms that far outweigh the
recommendations suggested by the Uniform Committee, and the minimum
protection provided by 100% cotton (i.e. Nomex, Flamex, Fire Wear).
The Uniform Committee would like to see the best uniform on the
market issued to the Owasso Fire Department but realize the expense
of implementing a uniform change. Therefore the Uniform Committee
recommends that the 100% cotton station /work uniforms be
implemented leaving the option to upgrade through a phase in
process at a later date. This would allow us to consider all new
standards and technology.
The Uniform Committee recommends that the above items be considered

MEMORANDUM
TO: Uniform Committee.
FROM: K. DeMauro, Paramedic.
SUBJECT: Uniforms.
DATE: September 13, 1994
Working as a Paramedic /Firefighter, I feel it is very necessary
that we are recognized as non -law enforcement agents. Less than a
year ago I was held at gun point, along with three Tulsa Countv
Sheriff Officers, inside a residence. The subject holding uz� was
not able to tell the difference between myself, a paramedic. and
the officers. I feel that the uniform change, including stales: and
colors, recommended by the uniform committee will increase our
safety in a fire and medical incident.

Staying a Step
Ahead of the
Bad Guys
As violence escalates throughout the
nation, learn how to protect yourself.
By Dennis R. Krebs
arly one morning in 1981,
my partner and I were dis-
patched to a reported "man
slumped over the steering
wheel." When we arrived at the
scene, we walked over to the driver's
window. The odor of alcohol perme-
ated the air.
Reaching through the window, I
attempted to awaken what I thought
would be a typically intoxicated driver.
But the situation quickly deteriorated as
the man grabbed a .357 magnum and
leveled it at my face.
Violent encounters are on the increase
for EMS providers. A few examples:
• San Diego, CA: An EMT intem is
shot and killed in a hospital ED by a
gunman who's angry over the death of
his father 2 days earlier.

ON THE SCENE
- Los Angeles, CA: Fire fighters are
shot during the April 1992 riots.
- Essex, MD: A paramedic is held
hostage on the lawn outside a mobile
home.
- San Ysidro, CA: Fire fighters are
pinned down by gunfire for 90 minutes
during the famous McDonald's mas-
sacre.
* New Lancaster Valley, PA: Two
fire fighters and one state trooper are
shot and killed after responding to a
structure fire that resulted from a
domestic dispute. ,
Situations like these will continue —
and may even escalate —until we, as
EMS providers, recognize our unique
position. Some of us believe violent
encounters are simply part of the job,
while others think they're just a big -
city problem.
When confronted with a violent see-
nario, EMTs have traditionally re-
sponded in one of two ways:
• Request police backup at the most
remote possibility of danger.
- Walk into a scene, hoping good
intentions will carry them through.
, Until recently, the latter approach
seemed to be the most popular choice.
Unfortunately, some EMS adminis-
trators are baffled by the violence
problem. With no expertise in dealing
with an escalating level of danger, they
may feel their only options are to arm
their personnel with either weapons or
body armor. If they find these solutions
to be unacceptable, they may turn a
blind eye to the problem.
But let's deal with reality: Whether
you operate in an urban or rural area,
it's possible you'll show up at a vol-
atile scene before law enforcement
arrives. Given the increased demand
for services and limited budget many
agencies face, this may be more com-
mon than you'd like to admit. None-

You're clearly overextending yourself
and, quite frankly, pushing your luck.
Even responding to a domestic dispute
can produce tense moments for the
unprepared rescuer. The police, with
their body armor, appropriate survival
training and the power to arrest
assailants, may arrive too late to pre-
vent a catastrophe. For safety's sake,
it's best for you to retreat and await
mitigation by the proper authorities.
Remember: You cannot provide ser-
vice if you're injured during a call.
Here are some other basic measures
you and your coworkers can take.

The uniforms worn by most EMS
providers can sometimes pose dangers.
A patient with an altered mental status
due to drugs, alcohol or psychological
instability is usually incapable of dis-

oil leer, fire fighter or EMT.
Consider the following scenario: An
intoxicated driver is slumped over the
steering wheel. I le awakens to lind a
unilbrn►ed individual standing beside
his vehicle. The uniform sports collar
adornments, a badge and a patch over
the left sleeve. The driver also notices
a bulge on the responder's right side.
While trying to take in all of these
sights, the driver is also aware of flash-
ing lights in his rearview mirror.
Ultimately, the man is unable to dis-
tinguish whether the uniformed re-
sponder is a cop or a medic —and if the
presiding judge at his last DUI trial
advised hire to bring a toothbrush with
him next time he's arrested, what
might the driver's response be upon
seeing the uniform?
To prevent such confusion, many
EMS administrators are abandoning
their traditional uniforms, opting
instead for the softer image conferred
by golf -style shirts. A department logo
imprinted on the shirt provides the pro-
fessional image we strive to maintain.
Approaching a Vehicle
The proper way to approach a motor
vehicle is often overlooked in EMT
training courses. It's wise for you to
implement some of the techniques
police officers use.
Begin by properly positioning your
ambulance: 15' to the rear, at a 10°
angle, with wheels turned to the left.
Be aware of the vehicle portions you
can use for cover and concealment
(generally the motor block and
wheels).
Be sure to use your lights during a

night response.
Record the vehicle's license number,
and leave this information by your
radio. Identify which areas of the vehi-
cle present the greatest hazard, and
determine what you need to do to min-
imize your risk.
Only one responder should approach
the vehicle. Other personnel should
remain with the ambulance until the
situation is deemed safe. This means
only one rescuer must deal with the
potential danger, as opposed to the
entire crew.
Entering a Home
While most EMTs know to avoid
standing in front of a house's front
door, out of the range of fire, many are
unable to detect clues to potentially
violent situations. Even fewer EMTS
seerm to realize they can retreat from a
situation if threatened.
Many EMTs still insist on arriving
with lights flashing and sirens blaring.

ON THE SCENE
They exit their units. retrieve massive
quantities of lifesaving equipment and
rush up to the front sidewalk and
through the door. Simple protective
techniques —like shutting down lights
and siren some distance from the
scene, approaching a residence at an
angle and listening for clues to what's
going on inside —are second nature to
law- enforcement officers, but relative-
ly new to EMS and the fire service. By
implementing these measures, we gain
important information that may con-
tribute to an extremely critical deci-
sion: Should I enter the house and get
involved without police presence?
Let's take it a step further. Assume
you do silently arrive at a residence
and hear a couple having a domestic
dispute. Obviously, both airways are
patent, both arguers are circulating
blood, and neither will exsanguinate
from any wounds. Think about it:
You've just conducted a primary sur-
vey from the front porch! Why commit
yourself to managing a potentially vio-
lent encounter when you can await
police backup?
If there are truly no clues to a
domestic —or other — dispute and you
find yourself in the middle of a feud,
pay attention to your posture and com-
munication skills. Most of us talk our-
selves into the majority of our prob-
lems. Avoid appearing threatening.
Speak calmly and slowly. Maintain
eye contact. If possible, separate the
angry parties and take control of the
situation. Identify who needs medical

fireplace pokers, scissors, vases and
the like.
Watch what all parties are doing.
Simply allowing a family member to
leave the room could prove to be it
fatal mistake.
Don't Transport a Weapon
As crime and violence increase, so
does the number of weapons found on
patients. In some instances, law -
enforcement personnel are on the
scene, but not involved in patient care,
so the weapons slip by. The conse-
quences can be lethal.
Use your primary and secondary
survey to identify illnesses, injuries
and weapons, which may range from
the recognizable handgun to. a vast
array of homemade knives, pen guns
Break Apart Stretcher
ALUMINUM BREM-MART STRETCHER
Designed to gently maneuver stretcher under patient without rolling or
lifting. The immobilization of the patient in the position found, minimizes
the risk cf complicating the existing injuries.

Improve Communication
EMS and law- enforcement agencies
must address the violence problem
jointly, and strengthening communica-
tion between your agency and the
police is an excellent starting point.
Each fire department or EMS ser-
vice should have a liaison officer who
regularly meets with local, state and
occasionally federal law- enforcement
officials. Through such meetings, you
can establish joint training exercises on
responses to hostage/barricade situa-
tions, clandestine drug labs and civil
disturbances.
To date, few departments conduct
such training, yet the chances for a
mass - casualty situation to result from a
psychotic gunman or civil disturbance
are greater than those associated with a
plane or train crash, for which we nor-
mally prepare.
Liaison officers can also provide
intelligence information to your de-
partment. Police may advise you to
avoid certain areas of your district if
raids are going to be conducted or
there are rumors of violence for an
event like a political rally.
Such information can save lives and
money.
Self- Defense
Of course, your best strategy is to
identify and avoid potentially danger-
ous situations. But what do you do if a
nonviolent encounter all of a sudden
turns ugly?
Most administrators discourage the
use of weapons or equipment that can
cause injuries. Techniques used by the
military, FBI and local law- enforce-
ment agencies are often more appro-
priate. Many of them are defensive and
non - strike in nature.
Brief lessons in the use of force,
illustrating why an inappropriate
response to a threat may lead to legal

Why would anyone take graduate work in
Emergency Medical Services?
We have doubled our course offerings and tripled our enrollment in
just one year. Our graduate programs (M.S. and M.P.H.) are some-
thing different. We offer you a chance to be a leader instead of a manager.
We teach you to solve problems grid ask questions.
You emerge from our classes with stalls you can apply to daily profes-
sional activities. You remember that EMS begins with neonates and
ends up with geriatric emergencies. In short, EMS is a crash course
in health care itself.
We invite you to call us today for a new lease on your EMS life.

Chopper Squandering?
Granted the chopper can be an asset,
but this was not the case in "Hangin'
with the Propeller People" (May is-
sue). The crew had been flying for ap-
proximately 7 -10 minutes when they
weather- aborted the mission. But
couldn't they have known the weather
pattern before they left? The ambu-
lance had been waiting approximately
20 minutes for the chopper when the
pilot aborted 10 minutes out. What
happened at the crash scene?
Douglas Reistad
Deforest Fire -EMS
Deforest, WI
Paramedic Mike Poynter replies:
The University of Kentucky Hospital
does not have an on -site radar, and it
is sometimes necessary for the chopper
crew to go up and survey the weather
patterns. If the weather is dicey, the
chopper crew will not chance it, with
safety being of utmost importance.
When the crew receives a call, the
rescue crew is usually still extricating
the patient. If they get the patient out of
the car before the helicopter launches,
the rescue crew is always told to go
toward a hospital.
It's not like the crew is ever waiting
for the chopper. ■

A -4-3.4 The minimum requirement for new fire'appara-
tus provides [teats in fully enclosed areas for all members
who ride on fire apparatus at any time. It is generally
agreed that fully enclosed driver compartments and pas-
senger compartments provide a higher level of safety in
collisions and rollovers, protection from flying objects,
noise reduction, and protection front inclement weather,
and, therefore, fully enclosed cabs are required for new
apparatus purchases and strongly recommended for reno-
vation of existing apparatus where possible. It is extremely
important that all members remain scaled and secured by
seat belts, in the seats provided, at all times when the vehi-
cle is in motion.
A -4 -4.1 and A -4 -5.5 The purpose of these paragraphs is
to assure that all vc•hicic•s arc• inspe•crc•d on a regular basis
and checked firr the proper operation of all sale1%. features.
This inspection should include tires, brakes, warning lights
and devices, headlights and clearance lights, windshield
wipers, and mirrors. The apparatus should be started and
the operation of pumps and other equipment should be
verified. Fluid levels should also be checked regularly.
Where apparatus is in regular daily use, the,& checks
should be performed on a daily basis. Apparatus stored in
unattended stations that might not be used firr extended
periods should be checked weekly. Any time such a vehicle
is used, it should be checked before being placed back in
service. The 24 -hour reference provides for situations in
which a vehicle may be used within the period preceding a
scheduled inspection, although any deficiencies noted in
use should be corrected without delay.
,!The safety equipment carried on fire department vehi-
cles should be inspected in conjunction with the inspection
of the vehicle.

dards, or guidelines should be used as a basis for creating

before donning protective garments, it is very important
that members understand the hazards of some fabrics that
more easily inch, drip, burn, shrink, or transmit heat rap-
idly and cause burns to the wearer. (See also 5 -2.7.)
A -5 -1.7 Clothing that is made from 100 percent natural
fibers or blends that are principally natural fibers should
be selected over other fabrics that have poor thermal sta-
bility or ignite easily.
The very tact that persons are fire fighters indicates that
all clothing that they wear should be flame resistant (as
children's sleepwear is required to be) to give a degree of
safety if unanticipated happenings occur that expose the
clothing to flame, flash, sparks, or hot substances. (See also

CITY MANAGER
FROM: JAN WORLEY
RECREATION DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: PAINTING QUOTES
DATE: November 11, 1994
BACKGROUND:
The Recreation Center gym was last painted January 3, 1989. Since that time, touch up painting
has been done to the gym, however, the activities room has not been painted since it was built
in January of 1989. The high use of the facility has created a need for new paint.
Staff has taken quotes on getting both these rooms painted with one heavy finish coat by
spraying method, as well as filling the cracks and holes. The following quotes were received:
Bill Fisher Painting - 272 -9702 - Gym - $800; Activities Room - $400 TOTAL- $12.00.00
Hutchens Painting - 272 -9218 - Gym - $1300; Activities Room - $550 TOTAL- $1850.00
Jim Rice - 272 -5868 - Gym - $1400; Activities Room - $650 TOTAL- $2050.00
FUNDING:
In the 1994 -95 budget, staff budgeted a total of $2000 to contract to have the gym and the
activities room painted. This was budgeted in line item 5250 - Maintenance & Repair.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the award of a contract to Bill Fisher Painting in the amount of $1200 for the
purpose of painting the gym and the activities room at the Recreation Center.

SUBJECT: ORNAMENTAL IRON FENCING SYSTEM AT FAIRVIEW CEMETERY
DATE: November 10, 1994
BACKGROUND:
The City Council on October 18, 1994 awarded a contract to MITCHELL FENCE COMPANY in
the amount of $ 14,700.00 for the construction of an ornamental iron fence system at Fairview
Cemetery.
Prior to the start of construction, it was determined that the 14 -foot wide main gate entrance to the
cemetery would be restrictive for turning movements of vehicles off 76th Street North. To provide
an adequate turn radius, the fence line was angled in to the cemetery with the construction of two
additional standard fence sections. The cost of this addition is $356.36.
Once the fence was under construction, it was noticed that the transition at the east and west ends of
the project to the old chain link fencing was not adequate. A gap on the east end of the fence would
need to be filled in to match the corners. lberefore, it was felt that a standard section of the
ornamental fence should be added on both ends extending to the north. The end sections would give
the fence a finished appearance and an adequate transition to the chain link fence. Cost of this
addition is $356.36
RECOMMUNDATION•
The Staff recommends Council approval of Change Order No. 1 to Mitchell Fence Company to
increase the contract for construction of the ornamental iron fencing system at Fairview Cemetery in
the amount of $712.72.

ENGINEERING TECHNICIAN
SUBJECT: 76TH STREET NORTH/MAIN STREET INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS
CHANGE ORDER NO. 1
DATE: November 8, 1994
BACKGROUND:
The City Council on June 7, 1994, awarded two separate contracts (one to APAC- OKLAHOMA,
INC. in the amount of $97,127.50, and the other to EMPIRE CONSTRUCTION, INC., in the
amount of $39,600.00) for the construction of improvements to the intersection of 76th Street North
and Main Street.
The bids were awarded in each work item to the lowest bidder in order to minimize the cost of the
project. In awarding the contracts, the traffic control work item was made part of the Apac
contract. It was determined prior to the start of construction, however, that both contractors would
have work elements requiring traffic control.
Originally, the contract for the improvements of 76th Street North and Main Street was intended to
be performed by one general contractor. Therefore, only one line item in the bid proposal was set-
up for traffic control.
At the preconstruction meeting, each contractor was asked to submit a price to delete and /or add to
their contract to cover traffic control for the milling /overlay portion of the work, which is included
in the Empire Construction contract. Apac was asked to delete a portion from their contract and
i

Empire was asked to add to theirs. The amount agreed upon was $520.00 for traffic control during
the milling /overlay part of the contract. Attached to this memorandum is the Change Order request.
The amount deducted from the Apac contract and added to the Empire contract will not change the
overall contract amount.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Staff recommends Council approval of Change Order No. 1 for the 76th Street North and Main
Street Intersection Improvements Contracts to Empire Construction and Materials, Inc. to decrease
the contract in the amount of $520.00 and Apac - Oklahoma, Inc. to increase the contract in the
amount of $520.00 for traffic control.

TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
CITY OF OWASSO
FROM: RODNEY J RAY
CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: REQUEST BY CITIZEN TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL
DATE: November 11, 1994
BACKGROUND:
Billie and Jim Downey, 12020 E 76th St N, have requested an opportunity to address the City
Council in relation to flooding along a creek that flows through their property. The Downeys
live immediately south of 76th Street (outside the city's corporate limits) in the area of the Elm
Creek addition. They have lived there for more than twenty -five years. Their property includes
an old creek that receives all of the stormwater runoff from the Elm Creek addition and other
subdivisions located north of Elm Creek addition.
Recently, the Baptist Retirement Center began expanding into the vacant area west of their
original location. During the platting process, they were required to provide detention in
accordance with our subdivision policies. Mr and Mrs Downey are concerned that the additional
development will cause more flooding to their property.
NOTES:
1. Based on runoff calculations, the detention requirements imposed on the Baptist Retirement
Center should ensure that no more water will be added to the creek or at a faster speed than
prior to development. The staff's position is that the Baptist Center development will not add
to the water level in .the creek.
2. It appears that when the first phases of Elm Creek were platted, the developer was not
required to provide detention. Later, when remaining portions of Elm Creek were developed,
Elm Creek Park was used to provide detention. Based on that development scenario, it appears
that the Downeys biggest impact came from the 1978 development of Elm Creek Estates First
Addition and Elm Creek Estates North & South Part, Blocks 12 -15.
Request to Address Council

3. Later subdivisions were required to meet runoff requirements and, though they may result
in water staying in the creek longer, they should not have significantly increased the amount of
water in the creek at one time.
Though I have visited the site previously and had discussions with Billie and Jim, I am not sure
what steps they will request the Council take to address their concerns. If you have questions,
please call Mr Rooney or me or, if you want a site visit, please let me know so I can make
arrangements with Mr & Mrs Downey.

MEMORANDUM
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
CITY OF OWASSO
FROM: RODNEY J RAY
CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: CITY MANAGER'S REPORT
DATE: November 11, 1994
MANAGERIAL:
FOP ARBITRATION - It appears that we finally have a date set for arbitration of the FOP
1994 -95 contract. Based on discussions with the FOP's state representative, Mr P D Taylor,
the hearing has been scheduled for Wednesday, November 23rd. Subsequent to the hearing, the
neutral arbiter will review the presentations and, hopefully, issue a ruling within a thirty -day
time frame. As a manager, I am pleased that this issue is nearing a final solution. Not only
have the prolonged negotiations diverted attention from other critical issues, we are now only
four months from the statutory date upon which the FOP must notify the City of their intent to
initiate bargaining for FY95 -96. I remain confident in the process as outlined by the statutes,
and look forward to accepting the arbiter's recommendation. As soon as that ruling is returned,
the staff will prepare a financial impact evaluation and transmit the findings to the City Council
for immediate action.
CABLE TV RATES - The City has received notification from TCI Cablevision of Tulsa that,
beginning in December, they will add a federally approved "user" fee to subscribers' bills. The
fee will increase rates and was allowed by Congress to help offset the cost of Federal rate
regulation. According to the notification, Owasso subscribers will see rates increased by three
cents on their December thru February bills, four cents on bills between March 1955 and
September 1995. After September, the monthly increase will be set at a level between three and
four cents. The total rate increase per subscriber during any twelve month period cannot exceed
CITY MANAGER'S REPORT
November 11, 1994
Page 2
thirty-seven cents. The fee does not accrue to the cable company, but is assessed by the FCC
and paid to the federal agency for their regulatory activities.
WINTER WONDERLAND - Winter Wonderland "Set -Up Day" is scheduled for November 19,
1994 from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Rayola/Friendship Park area. The "Lights -On"
ceremony is scheduled for Monday, December 5th at 5:30 p.m. The Pride of Owasso Marching
Band and the Owasso High School Chorus will be performing. Plan to attend this fun event.
Winter Wonderland is being brought to you this year by the Owasso Employees Association, in
conjunction with Network Owasso.
FIRE HYDRANT REPAIR - During the last Council meeting, a concern was expressed relating
to the number of fire hydrants that are out of service. The concern was that several hydrants
had been "out of service" for several years and that repair of inoperable hydrants should be a
high priority for the city. Since that meeting, I have met with Chief Allen and Public Works
Director Robert Carr to determine the status of a project that was begun in January of this year.
Additionally, I wanted to determine the magnitude of the fire hydrant problem using hard data
that I knew we had on hand.
The city currently maintains over 400 fire hydrants of varying makes and sizes. Until January
of this year when Chief Allen and Mr Carr began working on updating our hydrant information,
there has been no comprehensive approach to mapping, classifying and numbering the hydrants.
Certainly, the fire department had maintained a listing and annually tested the system. However,
the Chief indicated that in past years his request for assistance from Public Works to repair the
hydrants on the list was often ignored. The Chief has also told me that the process and
coordination between the two departments improved significantly during the past two years. In
fact, the 1993 list of needed repairs was quickly addressed by the Public Works Department
(then under the direction of Jo Ellen Krantz), and most of the out of service hydrants were
addressed. Chief Allen has told me that the 1993 repair program was the first time in over
twelve years that he felt the repair list was properly addressed.
In January, I met with Mr Carr and Chief Allen for the purpose of initiating a team to prepare
for an anticipated ISO rating inspection later in the year. One of the concerns that came out of
that meeting was the lack of good usable data on fire hydrants. The three of us determined that,
in order to really know on a regular basis the status of fire hydrants and flow data on each, there
needed to be a comprehensive mapping and data gathering program conducted. To initiate that
program, the Public Works Department prepared a base map showing water lines, sizes and
hydrant locations. The Fire Department began testing and verifying those locations in August
and are providing that information to Public Works so that the data can be entered into the map
and computer listing of the hydrants. In the meantime, the Public Works Department has
regularly addressed those items reported to them by the Fire Department. As stated earlier, my
discussions with Chief Allen indicate that, as a team, we have made more progress in the past
CITY MANAGER'S REPORT
November 11, 1994
Page 3
two years than ever before. Specifically. Chief Allen and Mr Carr believe the current approach
to the problem will produce long term results and resolve long standing,_ problems That
approach is to invento1y the system, evaluate the maintenance needs prepare a cost analysis of
' the maintenance and then request Council action to appropriate funds in the 95 -96 budget to
address the needs.
® However, it should be noted that there are several problems that continue to exist in the hydrant
system. It is a fact that there are still several hydrants out of service and, in fact, we believe
that a least one hydrant has been out of service for almost eleven years. Some of the problem
areas are in the older sections of town and are being addressed in our current water line
replacement program.
Based on the information from the Fire Department, conversations with the Chief and Mr Carr,
and my review of the approach being taken by the two departments, I am satisfied that the
problems are being aggressively pursued and that the coordinated approach will address those
problems. Additionally, this approach will give the staff and Council a good comprehensive data
system that will allow you to quickly review the status of water flow and fire hydrants for fire
fighting purposes. Hydrants requiring repairs and /or replacement have been identified
throughout the distribution system. The degree of repair varies with each specific hydrant and
the associated costs of repair will have a similar variance. With the magnitude of repairs
identified, the repair program will need to be a multiple year project due to manpower and
budget allocations. The FY94 -95 budget does not adequately fund all anticipated repairs. With
further analysis of the specific hydrant maintenance requirements, the budget can be more
adequately defined so the allocation of financial resources can be budgeted beginning with next
year's budget.

BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT - The Owasso Board of Adjustment will hold its regular monthly
meeting on Tuesday, November 22, 1994 at 7:00 p.m. in the Owasso Community Center. The
Board will consider the following requests:
OBOA -94 -15 - A request for a Special Exception to allow a beauty shop as a home occupation
in the Bailey Ranch Estates addition.
OBOA -94 -16 - A request for a Special Exception to allow for mortgage consulting as a home
occupation in the Copper Meadows II addition.
OBOA -94 -17 - A request for a Variance in sign height and square footage for a Wendy's
Restaurant pole sign to be located on the southeast corner of Highway 169 and Garnett Road.
A copy of the Board of Adjustment agenda is attached for your information and review.
PLANNING COMMISSION - The Owasso Planning Commission conducted its regular meeting
on November 8, 1994 at 7:00 p.m. in the Owasso Community Center. The only items reviewed '
were a site plan for an expansion at Owasso Glass and a preliminary plat for Caudle Estates.
Caudle Estates, a proposed 20 lot RS -2 (Residential Single - Family Medium Density) addition,
is to be located west of the southwest corner of East 96th Street North and Garnett Road. This
was both a recent annexation and zoning item before the City Council. The Planning
Commission unanimously approved both items.
Items for the December Planning Commission are likely to consist of a preliminary plat for ,
Southern Links at Bailey Golf Ranch, a preliminary plat for the Wendy's Restaurant property,
and a final plat for Caudle Estates. '
BEST WESTERN MOTEL - The Community Development staff and the Fire Department staff
have met with Mr Dick Zutendyke regarding the sprinkling system at the Best Western Motel
now under construction. Mr Zutendyke informed the staff that their plans as of 11/8/94 are to
sprinkle the attic areas which have been questioned. They were scheduled to meet with their

' ENGINEERING:
PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING SERVICES - DESIGN, BIDDING AND CONSTRUCTION
' ADMINISTRATION OF ROADWAY AND UTILITY IMPROVEMENTS FOR NSP PROJECT
- Staff received proposals on November 2nd for Professional Engineering Services for the
design, bidding and construction administration of roadway, water and sewer improvements to
the NSP facility. A packet of proposal information was sent to fourteen area engineering firms,
and responses were received from nine of those firms.
"^ All proposals were received by the deadline and in the manner required in the RFP. They were
evaluated by a review committee comprised of Robert Carr and Ron Easterling. Proposals were
ranked according to the total number of evaluation points assigned by the review committee.
iY Based upon the initial evaluation (see attached ranking sheet), the review committee identified
FHC Inc, NOVA Engineering Inc and Sack and Associates Inc as "Qualified and Highly
Responsive Firms ". These three firms will be requested to submit a detailed Scope of Services
and a separate envelope containing their proposed fee for said services for final evaluation by
the review committee.
op
The detailed Scope of Services is to be submitted by Wednesday, November 23rd. Each
submittal will be evaluated by the review committee and the proposed fee from the top ranked
firm will be opened as part of the evaluation. Fee negotiation will be conducted with the top
ranked firm. Pending the outcome of fee negotiations, it is anticipated that the award of the
engineering contract will be on the Council agenda on December 6th.
MANHOLE AND SEWER LINE REPLACEMENT PROJECT - Bids were received on
November 3rd for the manhole and sewer line replacement project in the older portion of town.
Four bidders responded to the advertisement for bid. Bids for the total project ranged from
$2,274,450 to $3,460,053. Budget for the project is $2,617,000. A copy of the tabulation of
the bids received is attached.
Because of the magnitude of the project, detailed evaluation of the bid documents is being
conducted by the design engineers for the project (NOVA Engineering). Items pertaining to
contractor references, subcontractor qualifications and bonding capacity are being reviewed. It
is anticipated that recommendation for award will be submitted to the Council on December 6th.

BUILDING MAINTENANCE:
COMMUNITY CENTER ROOF MAINTENANCE - We are currently in the process of getting
estimates for work to be done on the Community Center roof. In May 1994, we had leaks
repaired at a cost of approximately $1000. At that time, the roofer (All Star Roofing, Owasso)
recommended that we consider additional maintenance work to be done that would guard against
future leaks and would extend the usable life of the roof at least three years (guaranteed).
The City Engineer and Community Center Director examined the roof, and agree that the roof
does need such further maintenance. The roofer who did the initial repair work can do the
additional maintenance work for $1950. We are getting additional quotes to ensure that this is
a fair price. We were satisfied with their initial work and anticipate recommending the same
roofer again if no better quotes are received. This work is covered in FY94 -95 Community
Center Fund budget. If you have questions or would like further details, please contact Mr
McElrath or me.
COMMUNITY CENTER FRONT DOORS - Bid specifications have been prepared for the
installation of automatic openers on two of the Community Center front doors, as provided for
in the FY94 -95 Community Center Fund budget, and are attached for your review. The openers
provide the most reasonable ways to comply with the ADA regulations for public facility access.
They will also greatly enhance the ease of access for our senior citizens who regularly use the
building. If there are no major problems with your review, we anticipate placing this item on
the December 6th Council agenda for action. If you have any questions or comments, please
call Mr McElrath or me.
MAINTENANCE FACILITY - The garage division personnel are working on revising some of
the procedures involved in servicing the city fleet. A customer survey is being prepared to be
made available to city personnel. Also, Mr Knebel is working on setting up a database program
for the garage that will greatly enhance the record - keeping, preventive maintenance and billing
procedures. If you have questions or comment, please contact Mr McElrath or me.
POLICE SERVICES•
LAW ENFORCEMENT SUMMIT - Chief Alexander has been selected as a moderator for the
First Annual Northeastern Oklahoma Law Enforcement Summit, which will be held this month
in Claremore. The Chief will facilitate questions between legislative participants and police
chiefs from across the state.
CITIZEN COMPLAINT - The Police Chief has received a letter from District Attorney David
Moss that indicates a citizen's complaint relating to an investigation conducted by the department
r
P
L
CITY MANAGER'S REPORT

was handled properly and that no error was found in the department's handling of the complaint.
The complaint related to an investigation of a domestic incident involving an off -duty police
officer. The investigation was completed and found that no criminal charges were warranted.
The findings of the investigating officer were turned over to the municipal prosecutor for review.
The prosecutor concurred with the department's findings. However, subsequently, the citizen
involved in the incident filed a complaint with the DA's office alleging the investigation was not
properly pursued. The attached letter from Mr Swab of the DA's office clearly states there was
no problem with the investigation. If you have questions or comments, please contact me.
PERSONNEL - Selection has been made for the police officer's position and an eligibility list
has been established. The number one candidate had undergone hearing and physiological
testing when it was discovered that information on his application and background had been
falsified. This candidate was disqualified. Both the number two and number three candidates
are current members of the police department. Coordination is being made to schedule academy
dates and hire their replacements. In conjunction with this matter, Mr Cates is reviewing
current city policy regarding nepotism. That issue must be addressed prior to a final decision
regarding hiring.
FIRE SERVICES:
HELIPORT CONSTRUCTION - As previously reported, the Owasso Sertoma Club has agreed
to construct an area designed for helicopter landings and takeoff at the new fire department
facility. The heliport would be a restricted use facility for emergency medical or police
helicopters and is designed to meet all FAA rules. Earlier this week, the City received a notice
from the FAA requesting comments relative to the application that had been submitted by the
fire department in conjunction with the emergency medical helicopter services. The staff has
prepared a response to that notice and attached such for your review. Because of the nature of
the preliminary FAA requirements, the staff determined that FAA approval of the location
should precede any Council action relating to acceptance of the Sertoma offer to construct the
facility. It now appears that the project will receive FAA approval in early December.
Therefore, I have informed the Fire Chief and Sertoma Club President Willard Mills that the
request to locate the heliport at the fire department will be presented to the Council for
consideration at your regularly scheduled meeting on Tuesday, December 6. If you have
questions or concerns, please call Chief Allen or me.
DRY HYDRANTS - The Fire Chief has worked with INCOG representatives for the past several
months in an effort to initiate a system of rural "dry hydrants ". The dry hydrant concept has
been successfully implemented in many communities as an effective rural fire fighting tool. Dry
hydrants are simply predetermined points for fire trucks to load water during rural fires. Once
a location (pond) is found, a pipe is placed in the water and its intake protected against dirt and
CITY MANAGER'S REPORT
November 11, 1994
Page 8
rocks. Then the line is extended to the pond bank where a fire hydrant is attached. When
trucks need to fill their tanks during a fire, they travel to the nearest dry hydrant, attach hoses
to the hydrant and pull water through the line to the truck. The use of a preconstructed, ready
to use facility saves times, wear on the trucks, and improves our ability to deliver our fire
fighting service to the rural areas. While our desire would be to have adequate water lines
(hydrants) in the entire rural area, we know that is not realistic at this time. The dry hydrant
system, however, is a good step forward. The first Owasso location for such a dry hydrant has
been selected. The Fire Chief and INCOG representative have developed an agreement with Mr
John Ferguson, 8707 E 96th St N, to locate a hydrant on his property. The funds to construct
the facility are provided through a grant administered by INCOG, and actual construction is
accomplished by the county. The landowner must also dedicate right -of -way from the nearest
road to the hydrant location. By letter, the staff has requested the county's assistance (see '
attached) and an interlocal agreement to provide for such. Grant funds for the project are
available from INCOG. If everything goes as expected, this project could be ready for
construction within thirty days. Prior to any construction, the City Council and County
Commission must consider and act to approve the interlocal agreement we have requested from
the county. I expect that document from the county in time for your December 20th meeting.
If you have questions, please call Chief Allen or me.
PARK MAINTENANCE:
The Rayola Park jogging trail repair is still approximately 80% complete. Heavy rain prior to
the complete hardening of the materials at the end of last week has slowed the recent efforts in
this area. The overlay of the trail should be completed by the end of December, weather
permitting.
An inspection of all city playground equipment was conducted on November 10th by David
Warren, Park Superintendent, and David Mays, a representative from Iron Mountain Forge
Equipment. All equipment was inspected for compliance with ASTM standards. A complete
list of the status of all equipment will be included within the next council packet.
OPWA ADMINISTRATION:
OWRB LOAN - On November 3, 1994, the staff received notification that the Oklahoma Water
Resources Board had granted an extension of time for closing on the remaining funds set aside
for previously approved projects. That action was important because it allows the City to
continue its planning process for the renovation and expansion of the wastewater treatment plant
without having interest cost on a portion of the money. The project has been delayed due to
EPA and Health Department requirements relating to water quality studies and receiving stream

classification. Progress, however, will now speed up because the studies indicate that the
classification for Owasso Creek (our receiving stream) will not change, and that the treatment
levels for the plant will not be higher than originally expected. Based on the information we
now have, we should be in a position to begin solicitation for engineering proposals on this two
million dollar project within the next three months. The staff is planning a Council briefing on
the treatment plant project during December. In the meantime, if you have questions, please
call Mr Carr or me.
RECYCLE CENTER:
PLASTICS RECYCLING - A grant in the amount of $8000 was awarded to Owasso by the
Metropolitan Environmental Trust (The M. e. t) in 1993 for the purpose of making improvements
to the Recycle Center. The original intent of the grant was to purchase and install a baler for
collected plastics. Public Works held a meeting with Roger Miner from the M.e.t. in late 1993
to discuss some issues concerning the logistics for this operation. It was determined at that time
that, in order for the Recycle Center to economically handle plastic bales, bale weights from
400 -500 lbs are required. This weight equates to the need for bulk storage the size of a
conventional rolloff container for each of the three types of plastics to be collected. As a result,
a major problem involving plastics handling was identified.
Since that time, options were evaluated, including the means to accommodate a baler, bulk
storage, conveyer and possible pre - transport bale storage area. As a result of the evaluation,
it was determined that the $8000 grant was insufficient for a complete plastics baler recycling
operation. Additionally, we became concerned that the operation as originally developed, would
be very labor, space and equipment intensive.
Therefore, another option was evaluated that would enable the collection of the plastics in a cage
trailer similar to that used at the M.e.t. operated recycling centers. The trailer could then be
transported to the central depot receiving materials from the M.e.t. centers. The cage trailer
was designed and built through the M.e.t. at a cost of approximately $5500. The remaining
funds are available for use to build the wood chipping site included in the Center master plan.
Delivery of the trailer is anticipated to be November 14th. The staff of Public Works and the
M.e.t. staff are to be commended for- their recognition of the negative long term impact of the
original proposal and subsequent change of direction so that the goals of plastics recycling could
be met in a more cost effective manner.

TO: RODNEY J. RAY
CITY MANAGER
FROM: M.A.ALEXANDER PR
CHIEF OF POLICE
SUBJECT: Crime Index Comparison
DATE: November 8, 1994
BACKGROUND
Recently the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigations released the 1993 Crime
Statistics. Upon reviewing these findings, I felt you would be interested in the
comparison of Owasso to other cities of similar size and geographic location.
During the past three years, Owasso has maintained a consistently low crime index while
enjoying an increase in population. Crime Index is defined as the total number of
serious crimes (specifically murder, rape, robbery, felonious assault, breaking and
entering, larceny and motor vehicle theft) as reported by the monthly Uniform Crime
Report. The Crime Rate is obtained by dividing the population by the Crime Index.
For this comparison, twenty cities of approximate population to Owasso were selected.
Consistently, Owasso sustained the lowest Crime Rate per 1000 for the past three years.
I am extremely pleased with providing this report to you. As associated with Law
Enforcement, the quality of living that Owassoians have enjoyed for a number of years
is authenticated by the results of the 1993 Crime Statistics.
Should you have any questions or require further, please contact me.

enhance the City of Owasso's Emergency Services in providing a more expeditious transport to
medical facilities in the event of serious or life - threatening injury.
We appreciate the opportunity to comment on this excellent opportunity for the City of Owasso

RE: REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE
Dear Commissioner Harris:
(918) 272 -2251
FAX (918) 272 -4999
r Pursuant to your letter to Fire Chief Bob Allen dated October 17, 1994, please consider this
correspondence as an official request for county assistance utilizing an " interlocal governmental
agreement" between our two entities. The purpose of this project is to construct a "dry- hydrant"
in a rural area to improve fire protection services provided the area by the City of Owasso.
It is my understanding that the required rights -of -way are currently being obtained from the
landowner. Those executed documents should be available in the near future. In the meantime,
the city staff is prepared to request Council action to approve the " interlocal agreement" so
construction can be scheduled as soon as possible.
As you know, Owasso is the prime deliverer of fire protection service in the rural area around
our community. Because a large part of the area is served by rural water districts with smaller
transmission lines, our trucks cannot connect to those lines without risking damage to their
system. Thus, the utilization of dry hydrants in that area can be an important tool in our efforts.
I hope you will be in a position to assist in this project, and look forward to receiving the
"interlocal agreement" for our action. If you have questions, please call me at 272 -2251. Also,
please note that the installation is to be located on property owned by Mr John Ferguson at
8707 E 96th St N.
You have, in advance, our thanks for another in a series of projects made possible by your
willingness to help our community.

I am familiar with the project you described in your October
13 letter, a copy of which is attached. I met with Dale Block, and
others, at the home of John Ferguson on 96th Street North, and
have discussed the subject with Mr. Ferguson since then.
We want to be helpful, but we will have to be called upon for
help by the City of Owasso after the City has obtained right -of -way
from Mr. Ferguson. Our help will be under the authority of the
Inter -Local Act, the same as we are called upon to pave a City
street or perform some other work inside of their jurisdiction.
Rodney Ray is very familiar with the process, and should be helpful
on this project.

ORDER APPROVING EXTENSION OF TIME

This matter came on for consideration before the Oklahoma
Water Resources Board on November 1, 1994. After consideration of
a presentation by staff, the Board finds as follows:
1. On November 17, 1992, the Board approved a loan to the
Owasso Public Works Authority (the "Authority ") to provide funds
for repair and rehabilitation of certain water and sewer system
improvements. On November 16, 1993, the Board approved a one year
obligation of time extension. The Board's Orders of those dates
specified various purposes and conditions of the loan.
2. In the Order extending obligation time, the Board
specified that funds would be obligated for the loan for a period
of one (1) year from the date of the Order extending obligation
time, or until November 16, 1994, unless an extension of time is
requested by the Authority and approved by the Board.
3. The Authority has requested approval of an extension of
obligation time.
4. Good cause for this request has been shown, and the Board
is agreeable to approving an extension upon the terms specified
below.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the requested extension of time
shall be approved, with said extension to expire on November 1,
1995, or the date of loan closing, whichever occurs earlier.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that except for the extension of time
specified herein, all other terms, purposes and conditions
specified in the Board's November 17, 1992 Order shall remain in
full force and effect.

Hand - Delivered
Beginning in December 1994, the FCC is allowing cable operators to begin adding the
federal regulatory "user" fee to subscriber's bills. As you may know, the Omnibus
Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 (P.L. 103 -66) requires the FCC to assess a fee of
$0.37 per subscriber to defray the cost of cable regulation. This fee for our system has
already been paid to the Commission. This federal regulatory fee applies to all cable
subscribers regardless of regulatory status.
In an Order released October 5, 1994, the Commission set out instructions to operators
on how to recover this fee. For the three months of December 1994 through February
1995, subscribers will be assessed a $0.03 charge. It will appear on their bill as a line -
item entitled "Regulatory Fee." For March 1995 through September 1995, a $0.04 line -
item charge will appear on each subscriber's bill. After September 1995, the fee will be
evenly prorated over the 12 month period coinciding with the federal government's fiscal
year. Subscribers will receive the required advance notification as a billing message.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
