X. Items from Council.
Mr. Bowman said he learned about an event last week where two young men ran a
stop sign and a street marker over in the Britton neighborhood in the wee hours of
the morning. A Britton homeowner called the Police to report the downed stop sign
and within one hour the signs were up and repaired. Mr. Bowman said it was remarkable
for The City to act so quickly.
Mr. Bowman said new county commissioner, Jim Roth, and some of his staff met with
a few City Hall administrators last Friday. Mr. Bowman was pleased with the County's
willingness to partner with Oklahoma City to work on some projects to fill potholes,
repair bridges, mow lots, and similar projects.
Mr. Cornett said the Riverbend neighborhood is meeting tonight at Kenneth Cooper
Middle School. He said he would be there and invited all the neighbors to attend.
X.
Mr. McAtee thanked Paul Brum, Public Works Director, for attending the Westbury
North neighborhood meeting last night. Mr. Brum and his staff discussed the project
to widen SW 15th Street from Morgan Road to Sara Road. He said Markwell Paving was
also in attendance at this meeting.
Mr. McAtee commended the Westbury North Neighborhood Association for making plans
to revitalize the association. He said it was fitting that National Volunteer Week
was coming up because it is the volunteers that make our neighborhoods great.
Mr. McAtee also thanked Rebekah Zahn, Executive Director of Neighborhood Alliance,
and Mr. Springer, Superintendent for Mustang Schools, for participating in the Westbury
North meeting.
Mr. Rinehart said littering continues to be a problem for Oklahoma City. He said
he found Oklahoma City ordinances say littering fines should not exceed $200 and
Oklahoma state laws say littering fines should be no less than $200. He asked if
Oklahoma City ordinances could mirror Oklahoma state laws.
Ms. Diane Lewis, Deputy Municipal Counselor, said it was possible for Oklahoma City
ordinances to mirror Oklahoma state laws. Ms. Lewis said the Municipal Counselor's
Office would do some research about mirroring the State's littering ordinances.
Mr. Rinehart asked if anything could be done about the trucks parked in front of
the Ford Center on ramps with price stickers on them. He also wanted to know if
the ramps could be covered with brick or some other surface that matches the building.
Mr. Rinehart said Crossroads Mall is going to have a Veterans Wall of Fame for the
next month. This wall will be available for family members of prior military, current
enlisted and current officers of any branch of the military to place photos of their
loved ones on the wall. He encouraged everyone to take part and show their pride
by taking photos to be displayed on this wall.
Mr. Foshee said he received several phone calls from citizens who had been out to
Earlywine Park over the Easter holiday weekend. He said there are no bathroom facilities
for people using the park. He suggested the park be supplied with some portable
bathrooms.
Ms. Simank wanted her neighbors around NW 10th Street to know that she spoke to Mr.
Brum about the delay with the street lamps. She said the lamps would be installed
once OG&E gets the poles up.
X.
Ms. Simank said her thoughts and prayers are with Councilwoman Johnson and her
family during this difficult time.
Mr. Foshee asked everyone to pray for Councilwoman Johnson and her family.
Mr. Liebmann said he talked with Councilwoman Johnson yesterday and he offered his
condolences to the Johnson family as well.
Mr. Liebmann said he and his wife, Judy, just returned from a road trip to California
where they spent a couple weeks. He said this is the first time they've driven instead
of flying. He was surprised at how many other states are doing massive highway projects
while Oklahoma is having a difficult time replacing the crosstown. The worst roads
on the trip to California are from Oklahoma City to Amarillo, Texas and he said Oklahoma
should be ashamed.
Mayor Humphreys said for years the legislature has diverted gasoline tax to other
uses and, consequently, the gasoline taxes are not being spent on roads.
Mr. Liebmann said it was refreshing to come back through the desert and then to arrive
in Oklahoma all green and in bloom.
Mr. Foshee said Phoenix mixes old tires in with the asphalt and it causes the roads
to last longer and the ride on those roads is much smoother and quieter.
XI. Citizens to be Heard.
Mark Powers, 331 SE 49th Street, complained about lack of response to a concern
he had expressed to the Animal Welfare Department. The City Manager referred him
to Neighborhood Services to address the concern.
XII. City Manager Reports.
1. Curfew Violations for the First Quarter 2003
2. April 2003 Sales and Use Tax Collections
