Adjournment MEMORANDUM TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCIL CITY OF OWASSO FROM: LARISSA DARNABY CITY PLANNER SUBJECT: PROPOSED RIGHT-OF-WAY CLOSURE DATE: OCTOBER 7, 2009 LOCATION: The subject right-of-way is located at the southeast corner of East 96th Street North and North 129th East Avenue, adjacent to the northern undeveloped portion of the corner owned by the Owasso First Assembly of God Church. ANALYSIS: The property at the southeast corner of the intersection is in the process of being sold, and the purchasers are planning for the development of commercial shopping use related to a retail sales facility. The property is designated Commercial by the Owasso Comprehensive Plan and is currently zoned CS (Commercial Shopping) which allows the proposed use by right. In 2003, the subject right-of-way was dedicated to the City of Owasso by the Owasso First Assembly of God Church to accommodate the expansion of the E. 96th Street North and N. 129tH East Avenue intersection. It has since been determined that the legal descriptions included in the right-of-way dedication were erroneous and should be corrected in the title work associated with the property. Following consultations with the City Attorney, and the representatives for the potential property buyers, the staff has determined that the appropriate resolution is to approve an ordinance closing the erroneous right-of-way. In addition, a corrective deed is being prepared so that the City can retain the right-of-way needed for the full urbanization of the intersection. PLANNING COMMISSION: The Owasso Planning Commission will consider the request to close the right-of-way at their regular meeting on October 12, 2009. Subsequent to the Planning Commission meeting, the staff will request the Owasso City Council conduct a public hearing during their regular meeting on November 3, 2009 to consider the right-of-way closure ordinance in accordance with statutory requirements. The City has given written notice of the proposed closing to all franchise holders, all property owners within three hundred feet of the right-of-way to be closed, and published the notice in the newspaper. RECOMMENDATION: The staff intends to recommend approval of the proposed right-of-way closure as described above. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Legal Notice 2. Radius Report 3.

HENRY CATHOLIC CHURCH DATE: OCTOBER 9, 2009 BACKGROUND: The City of Owasso has received a request for an easement closure located in the center of a tract recognized as St. Henry Catholic Church. The exact description of the lots where the easement currently exists is Lots 5, 6, and 7, Block 1, Parkview Addition Amended. A site map is included with your packet. PROPERTY CHARACTERISTICS: The tract is currently zoned for Single-Family Residential (RS-3) with a Special Exception granted to St. Henry Catholic Church on February 2, 2009 by the Owasso Board of Adjustment. The existing land use of the tract is residential with future plans to expand St. Henry Catholic Church. ANALYSIS: The applicant desires to close an existing utility easement located on the north boundary of Lots 5, 6, and 7, Block 1, Park View Amended Addition. The reason for the request is so the church may expand their existing building and parking lot to the south of their existing site. The property has been acquired by the church, and all legal documents are in order for such request. If the easement closure request is approved, the existing 5' utility easement would be vacated. The staff finds that closure of the utility easement will have no detrimental impact to the subject tract, or the surrounding areas. TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE: The request for the easement closure was reviewed by the Owasso Technical Advisory Committee at their regular meeting on September 23, 2009. At that meeting, utility providers and city staff are afforded the opportunity to comment on the application and request any changes or modifications. No comments were provided. PLANNING COMMISSION: The Owasso Planning Commission will consider the easement closure request at a public hearing on October 12, 2009. RECOMMENDATION: The staff intends to recommend that the request for the easement closure be approved. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Plat of Survey IZ cNii 10 j j w Park Miew Adrhlon l r P.O.C.

A site plan and a general area map are included with your packet. PROPERTY CHARACTERISTICS: The legal description of the property is Lot 28, Block 2, Keys Landing. The tract is zoned for Single-Family Residential (RS-3) use and is occupied by a single-family dwelling. The existing land use is residential for the subject property, as is land to the east, south and west. ANALYSIS: The applicant desires to close a portion of the existing 5' utility easement in order to complete the title work associated with the property. The correction is required because the garage, attached to the house, was found to be 2 '/2 inches over the building line. All utility companies have been notified, and have accepted the modification to the utility easement. If the easement closure request is approved, the existing 5' utility easement would be modified to allow access to utility lines. The staff finds that this request will have no detrimental impacts to the subject tract, or the surrounding areas. TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE: The request for the partial utility easement closure was reviewed by the Owasso Technical Advisory Committee at their regular meeting on September 23, 2009. At that meeting, utility providers and city staff are afforded the opportunity to comment on the application and request any changes or modifications. No comments were provided. PLANNING COMMISSION: The Owasso Planning Commission will consider the easement closure request at a public hearing to be conducted on October 12, 2009.

CLARK FIRE CHIEF SUBJECT: TRIPLE-COMBINATION FIRE APPARATUS BID DATE: October 9, 2009 BACKGROUND: In January 2009, the Owasso Fire Department formed the Fire Apparatus Specification Team, whose mission was to evaluate the existing and future needs of fire apparatus. In an effort to determine the functionality of various forms of fire apparatus (fire engine/pumper truck), the apparatus specification team inspected equipment located in surrounding communities and interviewed current equipment users. The FY 2009-10 fire capital budget includes funding for the purchase of a triple- combination fire apparatus. A triple-combination fire apparatus is used for fire suppression operations, and includes a fire pump, fire hose, and water tank. Commonly referred to as fire engine or pumper truck, this vehicle will serve as the primary fire suppression apparatus for Fire Station No. 3. This new apparatus (fire engine/pumper truck) will significantly add to the improvement of the Owasso Fire Department's emergency response capabilities, Insurance Services Office rating (ISO), and the overall emergency response capability within the Owasso Fire Department's jurisdiction. Construction time on this type of fire apparatus is typically 6-8 months. Based on current requirements and target hazards for the City of Owasso, the Owasso City Fire Department initiated the development of specifications for bid packets. The bid packets were distributed to ten (10) vendors of fire apparatus. FUNDING: The FY 2009-10 fire capital budget includes funds in the amount of $500,000 for this project. BIDS RECEIVED: A bid opening was held at the Owasso City Hall on October 6, 2009 at 2:00 PM, with one single bid received. The single bid is currently being evaluated by the Owasso Fire Department staff to ensure compliance with bidding specifications. After a thorough review of the received bid, staff will provide the City Council with a recommendation regarding the bid award during the October 13, 2009 City Council worksession. MEMORANDUM TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCIL CITY OF OWASSO FROM: BRADD K. CLARK FIRE CHIEF SUBJECT: RECORDS MANAGEMENT/FIRE INCIDENT AND PATIENT CARE REPORTING SOFTWARE BID DATE: October 9, 2009 BACKGROUND: In FY 2008-09, the Owasso Fire Department formed the software review and specification team, whose mission was to evaluate the existing and future needs of the Owasso Fire Departments' electronic reporting capability. The team began the process of determining software needs by inspecting computer based systems located in surrounding communities and interviewing current users. Following the conclusion of their educational research, the staff developed bidding specifications for potential software packages. In addition to meeting the needs of the Owasso Fire Department, this software purchase will enhance the record storage ability and allow forms to be submitted electronically to various state agencies, such as the Oklahoma State Fire Marshall & the Oklahoma State Department of Health. BID OPENING: Three bid packets were distributed to vendors of fire and emergency medical services (EMS) software. A bid opening will be held at City Hall on October 12, 2009 at 11:00 AM. The bids will be evaluated by fire department staff and a recommendation will be presented to the Owasso City Council during the October 13, 2009 meeting. FUNDING: The FY 2009-10 ambulance capital budget includes funds in the amount of $100,000 for the purchase of electronic records management software. RECOMMENDATION: Unless there are concerns expressed by the Owasso City Council, the Owasso Fire Department staff intends to place an action item on the October 20, 2009 City Council agenda to award the fire incident and patient care reporting software bid.

MEMORANDUM TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL CITY OF OWASSO FROM: CHELSEA M.E. HARKINS DIRECTOR OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SUBJECT: BUY OWASSO CAMPAIGN DATE: October 9, 2009 BACKGROUND: Over the past few years, Owasso's retail growth has positively impacted the city both economically and developmentally. The boom of big box stores, popular retail and restaurants has attracted many shoppers both inside and outside of our zip code. While this trend has fiscally aided the health of our community, Owasso residents and businesses are still going beyond city and state borders to make purchases. Cities are dependent on a constant incoming flow of sales tax dollars to keep up with infrastructure repairs, maintaining public safety and recruiting jobs. Delivering these services is imperative to maintaining a quality of life promised to our community. Educating our residents and businesses about the vital relationship between shopping in Owasso and the City's ability to provide public improvement is necessary. Staff has been in discussions with Hampton Creative about how to deliver a message to Owasso residents and businesses explaining how their local purchases equal increased sales tax, which increases funds for city services, and generates continuous improvements to the community. By working with the businesses to deliver a consistent message, we anticipate citizens will be motivated to change their spending behaviors to reflect an increase in local purchasing decisions. BUY OWASSO: Buy Owasso is a creative campaign designed to inform residents of the importance of buying locally and unite the business community to recognize and reinforce the message. The six month campaign would consist of the campaign identity, website, two billboards, business window clings and utility billing inserts. This includes the concept layout, set up, media/vendor negotiation, design, marketing consultation and creative fulfillment oversight. The marketing campaign could commence at the onset of the holiday shopping season. FUNDING: The Hotel Tax Fund is restricted for uses "to encourage, promote and foster economic development and cultural enhancement, tourism and pursue regional promotion for the City of Owasso, Oklahoma." Staff will request City Council approval of the Buy Owasso campaign project and recommend approval of a $40,000 supplemental appropriation from the Hotel Tax Fund. REQUEST: Staff will request City Council approval of an agreement with Hampton Creative and an approval of a supplemental appropriation in the Hotel Tax Fund increasing expenditures in the Economic Development budget.
