MEMORANDUM
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCIL
CITY OF OWASSO
FROM: ERIC WILES
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION 2009-01 -CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PRIORITIES
DATE: December 23, 2008
BACKGROUND:
The Owasso's Capital Improvements Program (CIP) consists of a process whereby capital projects
are prioritized by the City Council after receiving input from the municipal staff, the CIP
Committee, and citizens. Currently, the capital projects are in the process of being prioritized for
FY '08-09, which will allow the City of Owasso to use the third penny sales tax to fund those
projects.
The Capital Improvements Committee was formed to ensure citizen input in the Capital
Improvements planning process. The Capital Improvements Plan is a critical planning tool that
outlines a path of expenditures for major projects of high priority to the City of Owasso. The
committee is comprised of 20 members, ten municipal staff members and ten citizen members.
The committee meets annually with the goal of recommending updates of the capital improvements
plan to the City Council before the end of each fiscal year.
RECOMMENDATION FROM THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS COMMITTEE:
The Capital Improvements Committee conducted a public meeting on November 20, 2008 in order
to formulate a recommendation to the City Council about what capital projects should be prioritized
for funding in FY '08-09. During that meeting, the Committee voted unanimously to recommend
the City Council include two projects with the current capital improvement priorities for FY 2008-
2009: 1) Capital Projects Design, and 2) Highway 169 Service Roads.
CITY COUNCIL PUBLIC HEARING:
On December 2, 2008, the City Council conducted a public hearing to obtain citizen input
concerning capital improvements expenditures for FY '08-09. At that public hearing, oral reports
from two citizens were received. The public comment given was supportive of both proposed
priorities. During their comments, the citizens asked the City Council to continue to improve roads
in Owasso and not forget the infrastructure issues in the northern portion of the City.
CURRENT CAPITAL PRIORITIES:
The capital improvement priorities listed by the City Council in Resolution 2008-01 are the
following projects:
• Street Improvement/Repair Program
• Sportspark
• East 86th Street North Widening Project
• East 106th Street North and North Garnett Road Intersection Improvements
• Tulsa Community College/Tulsa Technology Center Road Construction Project
RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL:
The staff recommends Council approval to include the following list of projects as capital priorities
for FY 2008-2009:
• Capital Projects Design
• Highway 169 Service Roads
This change in priorities is included within the proposed Resolution 2009-01.
