TO: The Honorable Chair and Trustees
Owasso Public Works Authority
FROM: John W. Feary
Project Administrator
SUBJECT: Acceptance of Improvements for the East 76th Street North Sanitary Sewer
Interceptor Project and Authorization to Issue Final Payment
DATE: October 7, 2011
PRELIMINARY REPORT, FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY
BACKGROUND:
In November 2009, the Owasso Public Works Authority awarded the construction of the East 76th
Street North Sanitary Sewer Interceptor to Paragon Contractors of Tulsa, OK in the amount
$4,111,299. The interceptor line was designed and installed to facilitate the growth in northwest
Rogers County and in the southeastern region of Owasso east of the Highway 169 corridor to
193rd East Avenue. The line consists of approximately 30,000 feet of sanitary sewer line ranging in
size from 24" to 8" and depths from S feet to 26 feet, 100 manholes, and a 220 foot bore under
1771h East Avenue.
Upon award of the contract, construction began in January 2010 with an estimated project
completion date of July 2011. The majority of the gravity sewer line was installed and operational
in March 2011 with only a short run of approximately 700 feet remaining to be installed along
177th East Avenue. While the entire project consisted of rock excavation, the last 700 feet was
extremely difficult due to the monolithic nature of the rock encountered. The final 700 foot
section was installed, tested, and approved in June 2011.
Due to the substantial nature of this project, along with the rock conditions and ground water
encountered during installation, staff realized a need to conduct one final deflection test using a
mandrel prior to recommending acceptance and final payment to the OPWA. The results of
that test revealed a very small section of pipe where some deflection had taken place. It is
important to note that the failed pipe consisted of one 13 foot long joint of pipe that deflected
from 24" to approximately 22" in diameter. That section of pipe was repaired and re-tested thirty
days later and revealed no failures. All tests and inspections have now been completed and all
requirements for the acceptance of this project have been fulfilled.
FUNDING:
The total final contract amount of $3,802,694.80 results in a $308,604.20 contract under-run.
Funding for this project is available via a loan from the Oklahoma Water Resource Board (OWRB)
through the Clean Water State Revolving Fund.
PROPOSAL:
In order to issue final payment in the amount of $380,269.48 to Paragon Contractors of Tulsa, OK,
Trustee acceptance of the project and authorization to make final payment would be required.

TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Owasso
FROM: Roger Stevens
Public Works Director
SUBJECT: E. 86th Street North (Main to Memorial Road)
Owasso Local Match Funding
DATE: October 7, 2011
PRELIMINARY REPORT, FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY
BACKGROUND:
In 2005, Tulsa County voters approved the "4-to-Fix-the County" program that included a one
million dollar ($1,000,000) expenditure to be used as matching funding for the widening of E. 86th
Street North.
The city's obligation included engineering, right-of-way acquisition, and utility relocations. A
portion of the 4-to-Fix the County funds were used for engineering costs. Right-of-way has been
acquired, and private utilities (except Washington Rural Water) have been relocated. The
project has been designed and is currently awaiting letting by ODOT in November 2011.
Construction of the project would start in early 2012.
In September 2011, ODOT sent an agreement to the City of Owasso with a funding breakdown
for the roadway construction portion of the project and a separate estimate for the signalization
of the 86th Street North and Memorial intersection. The breakdown is based on the engineer's
construction estimate provided by the consultant. The roadway construction estimate of
$5,722,822 includes $334,441 for construction administration and is based on an 80% federal to
20% local match. The signalization estimate of $103,349 is based on 100% federal funding.
The local match is $1,593,795 and includes 20% match plus the cost of remaining utility
relocations (Washington RWD). Tulsa County will provide $832,538 and $761,257 would be
encumbered by the City Of Owasso.
FUNDING:
Funds are provided by Tulsa County and the City of Owasso Capital Improvements Fund. The
agreement provided by ODOT states that the funds need to be transferred to ODOT before the
letting of the project.
PROPOSAL:
An agreement between ODOT and the City of Owasso outlining the project and financing
responsibility for each entity and authorization for payment of the City's matching requirement
will require City Council approval.

SUBJECT: Property Insurance Renewal
DATE: October 7, 2011
PRELIMINARY REPORT, FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY
BACKGROUND:
Each year the City's property-casualty insurance coverage renews on November I It. This policy
provides coverage for City property, including non-building items (i.e. traffic lights and pump
stations), similar to homeowners insurance. Renewal quotes are being solicited by the City's
agent of record based on the current deductible of $25,000.
COMMENTS:
The City must enter into a contract for property coverage prior to the November ]It renewal
date. The cost of last year's coverage was $33,999. Property casualty insurance is funded
through the General Liability-Property Self--Insurance Fund. The FY 2012 budget includes funding
for the proposed renewal.
PROPOSAL:
A contract for property-casualty coverage would require City Council authorization for the City
Manager to execute.

DATE: October 7, 201 1
PRELIMINARY REPORT, FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY
BACKGROUND:
The City is self-insured for workers' compensation. As a result, all costs associated with an
employee's on-the-job injury are paid by the City through the Workers' Comp fund, up to the
specific retention limit of $750,000 per injury. The City purchases Specific Excess Workers'
Compensation insurance to protect the City from exposure to any injury with expenses
exceeding $750,000. The Excess coverage renews annually on October 26th and is calculated
as a rate per $100 of payroll.
COMMENTS:
The cost of last year's coverage was $39,632. Specific Excess Workers' Compensation insurance
is funded through the Workers' Compensation Self-Insurance fund. The FY 2012 budget includes
funding for the proposed renewal.

SUBJECT: Proposed Amendment of Part 4, Animal Regulations
DATE: October 7, 2011
PRELIMINARY REPORT, FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY
BACKGROUND:
Staff has recently reviewed the current structure and organization of Part 4 of the Code of
Ordinances, Animal Regulations. As a result of that process, staff has drafted proposed additions
and amendments to the ordinances in Part 4 governing ownership of animals and livestock,
service animals, emergency impoundments, and the operation of pet stores. These
amendments are necessitated by the City's continuing expansion and growth, the rising
population of abandoned and stray animals, and the location of pet stores, kennels and other
facilities offering domesticated animal services within the City. The amendments have
additionally given staff an opportunity to remove outdated, unnecessary, and conflicting
sections within this section of the Code.
Maintenance of Livestock
One of the most significant proposed changes to Part 4 amends current ordinances which
prohibit maintenance of livestock within the city. An evaluation of this prohibition was initiated
following a recent request for detachment by a landowner operating a horse stable and
training facility. The proposed change to the ordinance will allow livestock to be kept by a
landowner within the city limits if certain criteria and requirements are satisfied, such as
installation of a fenced enclosure of a minimum of 1.5 acres in size, with all structures used to
house or feed the animals set back a minimum of 50 feet from an adjoining landowner's
property. One livestock animal will be permitted for each 1.5 acres within the fenced enclosure.
Maintenance and Sale of Domesticated Animals
A new section governing the maintenance and sale of domesticated animals by pet stores is
also included in the proposed ordinance. The Code currently does not contain rules or
regulations addressing the housing, health, or sale of animals by pet stores; as such, the City of
Owasso's Animal Control Officers have no authority to inspect pet stores or require correction of
unsanitary conditions or inhumane treatment of animals. In recent years, many large and small
municipalities have enacted ordinances establishing minimum standards for the care, feeding,
health, and sanitation of domesticated animals maintained and sold by pet stores within their
boundaries. While most pet stores care for the animals they sell in an exemplary manner, it is
important to note that pet stores in Oklahoma are not licensed by any state regulatory agency
and thus are not subject to any state standards, oversight, or inspection. Accordingly, many
municipalities have accepted this responsibility as a local issue and have adopted standards of
pet store animal care to prevent unsanitary store facilities, the sale of diseased animals within
the community, inadequate ventilation, and insufficient nutrition and hydration of the animals
maintained in pet stores.
Impoundment of Animals
The proposed amendments to Part 4 also include a new section governing the impoundment of
animals by the Police Department or Animal Control Officers resulting from emergencies such as
fire, medical, hospitalization, or custody arrest of the owner. This section provides that, unless it is
impossible to do so, Animal Control Officers will locate and notify an owner that their pet has
been impounded by the City and the conditions under which the animal will be released. This
provision additionally establishes a minimum holding period by the City after which, if the animal
is not claimed by the owner or the owner's designee, the animal may be placed for adoption,
transferred to a rescue organization or, if appropriate, euthanized. This section will primarily be
applied in cases where the animal's owner is subject to a custody arrest while in a vehicle or
dwelling with their pet present, and the owner, despite notification, chooses not to make
arrangements for another person to retrieve the pet from the City's Animal Shelter. This provision
will allow emergency impoundment animals to be treated in the same manner as other animals
seized or received by the Animal Shelter.
Service Animals
A service animal exemption excepting trained service animals from the maximum number of
animals a resident may own and keep is also included in the proposed ordinance. Currently, it is
unlawful for a resident to maintain more than 2 dogs and 3 cats in the City of Owasso.
Exemptions presently exist allowing animal rescues and foster programs to exceed the maximum
number of pets if approved by the Chief of Police. The proposed change would allow persons
with service animals to also apply for such an exemption if acquiring a service animal would
cause them to otherwise exceed the allowed number of animals.
Clean-up Issues
The remaining revisions within the proposed ordinance are recommended to "clean-up" and
update Part 4 as well as eliminate any outdated, incorrect or conflicting provisions.
PROPOSAL:
An Ordinance amending Part 4, Animal Regulations, of the Owasso Code of Ordinances would
require City Council approval.

SUBJECT: Proposed City Council Resolution
Animal Control Service Fees
Owasso Police Department Animal Control Division staff recently conducted an analysis of all
fees associated with providing animal control services to the community. This analysis was
conducted to determine if the fees charged to citizens adequately recovered the associated
costs of the services provided. The cost analysis focused on the time and resources expended
by Animal Control staff. Examples of the types of expenditures taken into consideration include
fuel, hourly wages, and supplies. The analysis did not take into consideration utilities,
expenditures from other Police Department Divisions or other City Departments, or other
incidental expenses.
The fee analysis revealed that there are many services being provided in which fees are either
undercharged or not charged at all, Examples of services that no fees are charged include
livestock calls, deceased animal removal, tranquilization, euthanasia, and affer-hour calls. Staff
determined there were several fees in which increases would be detrimental to the objectives of
Animal Control operations, For example, it was determined that raising adoption fees could
result in a reduction in the number of animals adopted from the shelter. In addition, staff
determined that raising the cost of surrendering an animal at the shelter could result in animals
being abandoned within the City and in rural areas.
