FROM: Larry White
Support Services Director
SUBJECT: CMAQ Grant Application
DATE: February 10, 2012
BACKGROUND:
The City of Owasso has an opportunity to apply for the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality
(CMAQ) grant money available through INCOG's Public Fleet Conversion project. This grant has
funding available in three categories: alternative fuel refueling or recharging infrastructure,
dedicated alternative fuel vehicles and hybrid vehicles, dedicated alternative fuel off-road
equipment such as propane or compressed natural gas commercial mowers and forklifts. The
City wants to apply for this grant to assist with the purchase of a dedicated CNG vehicle.
The total funding available under the grant is $150,000.00. INCOG anticipates dividing this
amount into approximately 5 to 8 separate grants. Eligible projects may be funded at a ratio up
to 80% federal CMAQ funds. These projects require a minimum of 20% local funds. The grant
award will be based on a points system. The level of matching funds from the City of Owasso for
this project would impact the points awarded in review of the City's grant application. The City
should receive strong consideration in the point ratings due to its current CNG project which is
providing public awareness of clean fuel initiatives. The City's conversion and current use of
alternative fuels vehicles should indicate a strong likelihood of success with future alternative fuel
vehicles for the City.
The City of Owasso will be advised by the end of April, 2012, if this application will be approved.
Because of the time required to complete the contract for these funds, it is anticipated the
funding will be available around June 1, 2012. That will allow the City time to budget the
matching funds for the FY 2012-2013 budget.
PROPOSED ACTION:
Apply for the CMAQ grant money available through INCOG's Public Fleet Conversion project for
the purchase of a dedicated CNG vehicle.

Funding Opportunity
Background
The Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Improvement Program provides a
flexible funding source for state and local governments to fund transportation projects and
programs to help meet the requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA) and its amendments. CMAQ
money supports transportation projects that reduce mobile source emissions. Eligible activities
include transit improvements, travel demand management strategies, traffic flow
improvements, and public fleet conversions to cleaner fuels, among others.
The U.S. Department of Energy's Clean Cities program is a voluntary, locally based,
government and private industry partnership whose goal is to expand the use of alternatives to
gasoline and diesel fuel, accelerate the deployment of alternative fuel vehicles and build a local
alternative fuel infrastructure.
The Clean Cities program supports the Energy Policy Act of 1992 and the Clean Air Act and
its 1990 Amendments, seeks to reduce national dependence on imported oil, and promotes the
creation of commercial opportunities, new jobs and new businesses in the alternative fuels
industry.
Since its 1997 designation, Tulsa Area Clean Cities' partners and stakeholders have
consistently sought to advance alternative fuel technology and the deployment of alternative
fuel vehicles. The program is a catalyst for economic development in the region. The
relationship all partners and stakeholders maintain is one that advances not only U.S.
Department of Energy goals, but also Oklahoma commerce and economic development goals.
Tulsa Area Clean Cities Coalition is supported by INCOG, the Oklahoma Department of
Commerce and the U.S. Department of Energy.
The CMAQ program operates on a reimbursable basis. Funds are not provided until work is
complete.
General Information
The procedures and guidelines set forth in this announcement apply to the award of CMAQ
funds attributed to the Indian Nations Council of Governments (INCOG) and the Tulsa
Transportation Management Area (TTMA) (See Attachment 1) for the purpose of implementing

TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Owasso
FROM: Christopher A. Garrett
Fire Chief
SUBJECT: Purchase of a New Water Tanker
DATE: February 10, 2012
BACKGROUND:
It is the practice of fire department administrators to routinely inspect and evaluate the motor
fleet in order to determine the safety and reliability of the vehicles assigned to the department.
The evaluations of the motor fleet are used as the basis for the fleet replacement program used
for fire department budgeting.
Fire department vehicles are divided into two general categories: emergency response vehicles
and support vehicles. The water tanker truck is an emergency response vehicle utilized for rapid
emergency responses, and, like other emergency response vehicles, was evaluated for safety,
reliability, and functionality. Based upon the evaluation of the motor fleet, fire administrators are
proposing the replacement of the existing water tanker-a 1994 Ford F-700 SEMO.
The water tanker is a specialized emergency response apparatus primarily designed for
transporting large volumes of water from a water source to a fire scene, in order to resupply fire
suppression apparatus for structure and wildland fires. Water tankers also are capable of
drafting water from a stream, lake or hydrant. Typically, this type of apparatus is not designed to
have enough pumping capacity to power large hose lines (like a fire pumper); however, it
usually utilizes a smaller pump to draft water from static bodies of water. Water tankers are used
when there is not a working fire hydrant within reach (500 ft) of the fire scene, and are able to
supply the fire pumper(s) with a very rapid, reliable water source.
Utilizing the latest fire apparatus engineering techniques, water tankers can also be designed to
perform limited fire suppression, such as wildland fire fighting and structural protection during
wildland fires. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) safety standards and
recommendations for equipment to be carried on water tankers include: various sizes of hoses
and nozzles utilized in wildland fires and structural protection, a portable water tank, axes,
flashlights, portable fire extinguishers, and Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA). NFPA
safety standards also require items such as occupant air bags, three-point restraint seat belts,
reflective striping, vehicle stabilization features, adequate emergency lighting, and vehicle data
recorders.
PROPOSED REPLACEMENT:
Fire administrators have evaluated the current vehicle to determine its continued serviceability.
Over the life of its service, the F-700 SEMO brand water tanker's safety, emergency response
reliability, and functionality have diminished. Each year the condition of the apparatus
continues to degrade. Due to the vehicle's current condition and the fact that it does not meet
the recognized NFPA 1901 safety standards, fire administrators have been forced to downgrade
the water tanker to a non-emergency support vehicle. This action has, at times, resulted in a
much slower response time for an adequate water source to arrive at the fire scene. As the
replacement of the water tanker moved from the planning phase to a budget proposal, fire
administrators sought to achieve increased operational and functional capability. A budget of
$225,000 for the vehicle's replacement was approved in the FY2012 Fire Department Capital
Budget.
BID PROCESS:
The project team conducted several meetings in an effort to arrive at a solution for the aging,
outmoded water tanker that would effectively serve the citizens of Owasso, not only now, but
well into the future. The project team developed various operational capabilities that would
allow this apparatus to function both as a water tanker and in the capacity of a suppression
vehicle during wildland fire fighting operations. These operational capabilities were included in
the bid document in the form of purchasing criteria; of which there were fifty-eight criteria or
items identified by the project team as being necessary for the efficient use of and increased
capabilities of the water tanker. To ensure that the water tanker would meet the minimum
industrial safety standards, the project team included the requirement that the apparatus
adhere to the NFPA 1901 Automotive Fire Apparatus Standards relevant to water tanker type
apparatus. There were fifty-two NFPA criteria or items included in the evaluation of the bid
proposals.
The bid packages were divided up into three different bid options, to allow the project team an
opportunity to identify the most cost effective proposal submitted to the City of Owasso. Bid
option number one was for the refurbishment of the existing water tanker. Bid option number
two required the manufacturer to provide a new water tanker without a trade in. Bid option
number three was for a new water tanker with the vendor purchasing the City of Owasso's
existing water tanker.
The project team developed a list of twenty five potential bidders, from various areas of the
country. Each of the twenty-five potential bidders could bid any or all of the included bid
options. Bid packages were mailed to the identified twenty-five potential bidders on December
26.2011.
Bids were opened on January 24, 2012. Four vendors submitted bid proposals. Each bid
proposal was reviewed for adherence to the specified criteria, completeness, quality, and
value.

The project team determined the lowest and best bid option for the City of Owasso was from
Jon's Mid America Fire Apparatus/KME of Rogersville, Missouri in the amount of $189,424. The
figure represents the vehicle's base price and options, less the $28,000 trade-in value of the
current water tanker, and the $4,151 reduction for prepaying the vendor for the vehicle. The
final apparatus cost of $189,424 results in an overall cost that is $35,576 below the budgeted
amount. Staff estimates the cost of the additional equipment required by NFPA to be $27,000,
which results in a total project cost of approximately $216,424.
FUNDING:
The Fire Department Capital Budget includes funding for the replacement of the 1994 Ford F-700
SEMO water tanker for $225,000. The budgeted amount also includes funding for the equipment
needed to meet NFPA standards. However, the purchase of that equipment was not included
as part of the bid process, since the department can reduce that cost by purchasing the
equipment directly from the supplier.
PROPOSED ACTION:
Staff intends to recommend City Council approval to purchase one (1) new water tanker (with
trade-in) from Jon's Mid America Fire Apparatus/KME of Rogersville, Missouri in the amount of
$189,424, which would be the net price after the proposed trade-in.

Definition and Background:
A water tanker is a specialized emergency response apparatus primarily designed for
transporting large volumes of water from a water source to a fire scene, in order to
resupply fire suppression apparatus for structure and wildland fires. Water tankers are
capable of drafting water from a stream, lake or hydrant.
This type of apparatus does not necessarily have enough pumping capacity to power large
hose lines (like a fire engine), though it utilizes a smaller pump to draft from bodies of
water. Water tankers are used when there is not a working fire hydrant within reach (600
ft) of the fire engines, or a water tanker gives a possibility to supply the fire engine(s)
with a very rapid connection to a reliable water source.
Utilizing the latest fire apparatus engineering techniques water tankers can also be
designed to perform limited secondary fire suppression, such as some wildland, rubbish
and vehicle fire extinguishment operations. Water tankers are designed to supplement
primary fire suppression apparatus and have limited fire suppression capabilities due to
the tankers various factors such as; live weight loads, lower volume water pumps, and
limited equipment storage capacity.
A water tanker also carries some fire fighting equipment. There are National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA) safety standards and recommendations for equipment to
be carried on water tankers. Water tankers carry various kinds of hoses and spray nozzles
utilized in forest, building, or industrial fires, as well as a portable water tank. In addition,
tools like axe, flashlights, portable fire extinguishers, a water extinguisher, a SCBA (Self-
Contained Breathing Apparatus), a first aid kit, adapters, and hydrant wrenches are
required. The NFPA standards also include safety items such as; occupant air bags,
reflective striping, vehicle stabilization features, adequate emergency lighting packages,
vehicle data recorders, performance, road worthiness, third party testing and
documentation.
History:
In the early nineteen eighties the City of Owasso Fire Department received a donated cab
over type semi truck utilized in the oil fields. The department purchased a water tank and
21 ge
modified the vehicle to be utilized as a water tanker. This vehicle served the department,
city and citizens of our community for the next ten years until it became unreliable and
operationally non functional for emergency service. After the vehicle was replaced in
nineteen ninety four, ownership of the water tank was transferred to the Collinsville Rural
Fire Department and the chassis surplused.
The fire department purchased a Ford F-700, SEMO brand water tanker in nineteen
ninety four. The vehicle has the capacity to carry two firefighters, 1,850 gallons of water
and minimal fire equipment. The vehicle was only designed to transport water to a fire
scene and does not have the capability to provide any supplemental or secondary fire
suppression operations.
Current Condition of Tanker:
During the last seventeen years of service, the F-700 SEMO brand water tanker's
emergency response reliability and functionality has diminished with time. For the past
few years the department has annually evaluated the water tanker to determine its
suitability for use. Each year the condition of the apparatus continues to degrade. In fact,
due to the vehicle's current condition and not meeting the recognized National Fire
Protection Association 1901 safety standards it has been downgraded to a non emergency
response roll. This results in a much slower response time for an adequate water source to
arrive at the fire scene.
Plan and Funding:
Within the past few years the department has applied for federal funding to replace the
aging water tanker. Each year the funding has been denied due to the federal rating
schedule utilized to determine priorities and water tankers being given a very low funding
priority. We do not anticipate any future change to the current rating schedule. The
department has research grant funding opportunities to no avail.
The fire departments Fire Apparatus Replacement Schedule and Capital Outlay Plan have
anticipated the need to replace this apparatus and programmed funding within the Public
Safety Fire Capital Fund. These funds are derived from revenue generated by the City of
Owasso Ordinance Number 675, Public Safety Fund. The replacement of the water tanker
was included in the City of Owasso Annual Budget, Fire Capital Fund in the amount of
$ 225,000.
31 ,iae
Processes:
The department staff formed a project team comprised of now retired Fire Chief Bradd
Clark, Fire Chief Chris Garrett, Assistant Chief Mark Stuckey, Captain/Mechanic Joe
Wakley, Captains John Bishop and Shane Atwell. The project team conducted several
meetings in an effort to arrive at a solution for the aging and obsolete water tanker, which
would serve the citizens of Owasso not only now but well into the future.
Early on in the process it was determined that the community continues to have a need
for the capability afforded by an Owasso Fire Department water tanker. Other response
options were explored but were determined to be unsuitable. One option was the use of
surrounding agencies with water tankers instead of the City of Owasso purchasing a
water tanker. This option would result in an unacceptably long response time. The other
agencies response time is negatively affected by uncontrollable variances such as
distance, vehicle speed, and lack of available emergency response personnel to bring the
vehicle to the fire scene.
Utilizing the project teams operational experiences and knowledge; they developed the
various operational capabilities that would allow this apparatus not only to function
primary as a water tanker but also in a secondary capacity during wildland, rubbish or
vehicle fire suppression. These operational capabilities were included in the bid
document in the form of purchasing criteria. There were fifty eight criteria or items
identified by the project team as being necessary for the efficient use of and increased
capabilities of the water tanker. These criteria or items would ensure the apparatus
purchased is suitable for service not only presently but well into the future.
The project team also chose eight additional criteria or items that could possibly result in
a cost savings if the City of Owasso elected to complete these items after the apparatus is
delivered to Owasso. After receiving the bid proposals and conducting a review, six of
the eight items could be accomplished by the vendor/manufacturer before delivery at a
lower cost than the City of Owasso. Furthermore the remaining two items are cost
prohibitive and will not be accomplished by the vendor/manufacturer or City of Owasso.
To ensure that the water tanker would meet the minimum industrial safety standards, the
project team included the requirement that the apparatus adhere to the National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA) 1901 Automotive Fire Apparatus Standards relevant to
water tanker type apparatus. There were fifty two NFPA criteria or items included in the
evaluation of the bid proposals.
BiddinjZ:
The project team researched various vendors and manufactures of water tenders utilizing
the internet, and trade magazines. It was determined that there were vendors who could
supply an apparatus that would meet the needs of our community. Most of the advertised
prices for water tankers were under the budgeted amount allocated for this project. The
project team developed a list of twenty five potential bidders, from various areas of the
country.
The bid packages were divided up into three different bid options, to allow the project
team an opportunity to identify the most cost effective proposal submitted to the City of
Owasso. Bid option number one was for the refurbishment and rechassis of the existing
water tanker. Bid option number two required the manufacturer to provide a new water
tanker without a trade in. Bid option number three was for a new water tanker with the
vendor purchasing the City of Owasso existing water tanker. Each of the twenty five
potential bidders could bid any or all of the included bid options.
Bid packages were mailed to the identified twenty five potential bidders on December
26th, 2011. The bid opening date was set for January 24th, 2012 at City Hall. Four vendors
submitted bid proposals, with three of the vendors in attendance at the bid opening. Of
the four vendor bid proposals, two vendors submitted bid proposals to provide a new
water tanker only, and two vendors bid all three options-resulting in a total of eight bids
being received.
Bid Evaluation:
The project team developed a bid criteria spreadsheet incorporating one hundred and nine
different criteria/items contained within the bid packages. Each bid proposal was
reviewed for adherence to the specified criteria and the results were documented on the
spreadsheets. Each bid proposal was reviewed for completeness, quality, and value.
The vendor bid proposals also included manufacturing documents and drawings that were
compared to the criteria and utilized by the project team to get an overall design concept
of the proposed apparatus to be built.
Two of the vendors chose the option to purchase the City of Owasso existing water
tanker. One of the vendors does not routinely deal in used apparatus and provided a trade
in value of $ 5,000, and the other vendor documented that a $ 28,000 trade in price would
be provided to the City of Owasso. The project team felt that the trade in value of $
28,000 was very good considering the initial purchase price of the water tanker seventeen
5~. 3 ge
years ago was approximately $ 70,000. This represents a depreciation rate of only 3.53%
per year over the seventeen year life span of this apparatus.
Two of the vendors bid the option to refurbish and rechassis the current water tanker. One
of the bid prices, $ 240,082.24 was above the budgeted amount. The other bid price was
for $ 207,126. Since this bid was below the budget amount consideration was given in the
final analysis of the bid proposals, but not chosen due to the vehicle not being
operationally capable of performing secondary fire suppression, also the other bid
proposal prices being lower and of a higher value.
Four of the vendors bid proposals were to furnish a new water tanker. The prices ranged
from $ 195,493 to $ 269,929, with $ 225,000 being budgeted for this purchase. The
project team conducted a very intensive analysis of all the bid proposals in an effort to
determine the best value for the City of Owasso and considering the operational needs of
the department in order to provide emergency service to the community.
The bid proposal from Freedom Fire Equipment of Georgia, in the amount of $ 195,493
indicated that they would meet all of the specified criteria, although many discrepancies
were noted throughout the proposal documents supplied by the vendor. The project team
and staff indicated that this vendor could not deliver an apparatus that would suit the
needs of the City of Owasso.
Pierce Fire Apparatus bid a new water tanker in the amount of $ 218,453 base price. This
bid was given careful consideration in the final analysis. Although the apparatus would
meet the needs of the City of Owasso, the final total cost after considering deductions for
prepayment, tanker trade in and additions for elected options the final total cost would be
above the budgeted amount at $ 233,055.24.
Ferrara Fire Apparatus of Louisiana bid a new water tanker for the amount of $ 269,929
base price, which was the highest bid price and well above the amount budgeted for this
project. Therefore the project team elected not to further consider this bid.
61 ge
Conclusion:
The project team and staff determined the best option in the interest of the City of
Owasso, would be to purchase a new water tanker from Jon's Mid America Fire
Apparatus/KME of Rogersville, Missouri in the amount of $ 207,554 base price, trade in
the current water tanker for a price reduction of - $ 28,000, and a further price reduction
for prepaying of - $ 4,151, and the addition of selected options that were cost effective,
for a final apparatus cost of $ 191,845, which resulted in an overall cost $ 33,155 below
the budgeted amount.

ANALYSIS:
The applicant is requesting the review and approval of the final plat consisting of seventy-eight
(78) lots in five (5) blocks in order to construct single family homes as part of the Lake Valley
development. The use of the property is governed by PUD 08-01, which allows single family
homes. The property adjoins Chestnut Farms Estates to the east, which is comprised of 2.5 acre
home sites in Rogers County. The lot sizes in Lake Valley V, Phase I are significantly smaller and
average 5,500 to 6,000 square feet.
The proposed final plat provides a reserve area on the east side of the property, which allows
access to utilities and stormwater drainage features in Reserve Area D.
Any development that occurs on the subject property must adhere to all subdivision, zoning,
and engineering requirements including, but not limited to, paved streets, landscaping, and
sidewalks. The property is subject to all platting fees, which include the Tulsa Technology Center
interceptor payback at $1,000 per acre and the storm siren fee at $35 per acre.
The property is served water by Washington County Rural Water District #3, and Owasso sanitary
sewer, police, fire, and EMS service. Utility easements are established throughout the proposed
addition so as to adequately accommodate utility services. All of the lots meet the bulk area
requirements of PUD 08-01.
In a regional context, this proposed addition is in conformance with the Owasso 2015 Land Use
Master Plan, as the area is shown for residential uses.

SUBJECT: Proposed Zoning Code Amendment - US-169 Overlay - North
DATE: February 10, 2012
BACKGROUND:
Overlay districts are flexible land use control tools which establish additional development
standards over the base zoning districts. Typically, overlay districts are used to protect areas from
undesirable uses, control architecture and design, require additional landscaping beyond the
base standards, or encourage mixing residential and business activity to support pedestrian
oriented development. The Community Development Department has been working on an
overlay for the northern portion of the US-169 corridor for over a year. The purpose of this overlay
is to develop a basic set of design standards that will ensure the orderly development of the
area, while protecting the investments made by businesses in the area and making the area
attractive to new industry.
The proposed Overlay District for the US-169 Corridor is situated between East 86th Street North
and East 126th Street North. Protections and standards should be in place for this area that will
likely see the next wave of rapid growth and set an example for Owasso's future development
This overlay continues building on the Quality of Life Plan principles and encourages sustainable
development that will become a long term asset to Owasso. Being along the major corridor in
Owasso, this overlay is designed to protect an area that represents a significant opportunity for
business and corporate investment, which is important to the long term economic health of
Owasso. Great opportunities abound within this corridor and this overlay proposes to establish
uses and regulations that promote an environment of business, learning, and growth.
Overall, this proposed US-169 Corridor Overlay District - North seeks to establish regulations that
protect the investment of new businesses and corporations from unattractive, non-compatible
uses, and ensure the area is visually pleasing, sustainable, and developed in a coordinated
fashion. Further, the overlay will ensure consistency in development, which will ensure property
values are maintained and increase.
The Owasso Economic Development Authority has reviewed this item at several meetings and
has endorsed this draft. At present, staff anticipates bringing this item before the Planning
Commission at the March 12, 2012 meeting for action.
PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE ZONING CODE:
The proposed amendment to the City of Owasso Zoning Code will add new Section 870, US-169
North Overlay to Chapter 8, Planned Unit Developments and Overlay Districts.
PROPOSED ACTION:
This item is for discussion purposes only at this time and staff intends to bring it back before the
City Council at the March 13, 2012 City Council Work Session for continued discussion.

SUBJECT: Proposed Zoning Code Amendment - New Off-Street Parking Chapter - Chapter
9 of the Owasso Zoning Code
DATE: February 10, 2012
BACKGROUND:
The Community Development Department is currently working on a comprehensive update of
the Owasso Zoning Code. Chapter 9 of the Zoning Code addresses off-street parking
requirements and was identified as one of the key areas needing an update. The current
Chapter 9 lacks a comprehensive approach for the safe development of off-street parking in
commercial and residential areas, lacks key information critical to site designers, and is
antiquated in many areas. The new chapter provides the needed updates to the current
Chapter 9 and provides opportunities for alternative design methods and construction materials.
The information provided within the proposed new parking chapter will facilitate the efficient
design of driveways, aisles, pedestrian walkways, and parking stalls; and promote the safe
movement of traffic in commercial areas. Additionally, these changes encourage the use of
'green' materials and methods establishing Owasso as a progressive and environmentally
responsible community.
The proposed new parking chapter also proposes language that will provide opportunities and
alternatives to parking situations that have arisen in older portions of Owasso where off-street
parking is limited, forcing some residents to park in yard areas that are subject to code
enforcement. Much like the recently adopted landscape chapter, these proposed changes
offer a variety of choices for those designing parking areas while at the same time ensuring that
Owasso provides for the health, safety, and welfare of drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians.
This proposed new chapter complements the principles outlined in the recently adopted Quality
of Life Report. Additionally, this chapter provides design alternatives that allow for more 'green'
development complementing the 'Go-Green' Initiative adopted in 2009. The City of Owasso
adopted the 'Go Green' Initiative with a goal of bringing about positive change in the way the
City operates and develops. The language contained within the new proposed Chapter 9
complements the recently adopted Landscape Chapter of the Owasso Zoning Code and works
with existing plans initiatives, as well as other planned updates of the Owasso Zoning Code.
PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE ZONING CODE:
The proposed amendment to the City of Owasso Zoning Code replaces the existing Chapter 9
with a new Chapter 9, Off-Street Parking.
PLANNING COMMISSION
The Owasso Planning Commission will review this item at their regular meeting on February 13,
2012.
PROPOSED ACTION:
This item is for discussion purposes only at this time and staff intends to bring it back before the
City Council at the March 13, 2012 City Council work session for continued discussion.

TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Owasso
FROM: Julie Trout Lombardi
City Attorney and General Counsel
SUBJECT: Settlement Conference in Adams v. The City of Owasso, et al.
DATE: February 10, 2012
BACKGROUND:
A lawsuit was filed against the City of Owasso, and City Manager Rodney Ray and Chief of
Police Dan Yancey in both their official and personal capacities, on June 21, 2011, by the
Plaintiff, Aaron Adams. This action, brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and Title VII of the Civil Rights
Act of 1964, arises out of Mr. Adams termination as a probationary police officer on October 6,
2010. Upon receipt of Mr. Adams' Complaint, counsel for the City of Owasso determined that
Mr. Ray and Chief Yancey were at all times acting fully within the scope of their employment
and respective positions in all actions relating to Mr. Adams and thereby were entitled to
receive legal defense and liability coverage in this litigation.
The Federal Code of Civil Procedure requires attendance at a settlement conference by a
person vested with full settlement authority on behalf of any organization or entity named as a
party in a federal lawsuit. Although a representative cannot be compelled to settle a case, all
parties are required to confer full settlement authority upon a representative to be used at the
representative's discretion during the settlement conference. The Court has issued an order in
this case scheduling a settlement conference for the Plaintiffs, Defendants and their respective
attorneys on April 17, 2012, at 12:30 p.m. at the federal courthouse, and has compelled
attendance and participation by all parties. Consequently, it is necessary for the City of Owasso
to confer full settlement authority upon a representative to attend the settlement conference on
behalf of the City and the two employees named as Defendants.
The Open Meeting Act specifically provides in 25 O.S. §307(B)(4) that discussions between a
public body and its attorney concerning a pending action may be held in executive session if
public disclosure of the matters to be discussed will seriously impair the public body's ability to
prosecute or defend the litigation. The City Attorney and outside counsel retained by the City to
conduct its defense believe the necessary matters to be considered and discussed by the City
Council fall within the purview of §307(B) (4), and further believe that discussion of these matters
publicly during a City Council meeting would seriously impair the ability of the City and the
Defendant employees to defend this lawsuit. Accordingly, counsel recommends that discussion
of the legal issues relating to the pending lawsuit and settlement conference be conducted in
executive session. As further required by the Open Meeting Act, any vote or action taken in
connection with this item will occur in the public meeting after the City Council members return
from executive session.
PROPOSED ACTION:
Discussion of the pending settlement conference by the City Council and necessary staff in
executive session.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council convene an executive session to discuss the pending legal
action styled as Adams v. The City of Owasso, et al. and the mandatory settlement conference
scheduled on April 17, 2012.
