Councilman Bowman
DEFERRED TO SEPTEMBER 9, 2003: D. 1,2.
Mr. Cornett asked if The City was going to come up with a plan to make live bait available for purchase near Lake Overholser. He suggested one solution might be to approach current business owners in the area who might want to offer services and another might be to consider using vending machines around the lake. Mr. Cornett said he would like to come up with some plan rather than say we cannot help the citizens who fish at Lake Overholser.
Mr. Couch said the Game and Fish Commission recommended not allowing seining due to the negative impact on the food chain. He said staff is working with the Game and Fish Commission to get some further recommendations and he anticipates something from them soon.
Mr. Bowman said he escorted the new Ward 2 youth councilors to several neighborhood meetings during the recent National Night Out. He said he appreciated the Oklahoma City Fire Department and Police Department presence at the events.
Mr. McAtee thanked the Oklahoma City Fire Department and Police Department for participating in the National Night Out event. He said he attended three neighborhood functions and having the Police and Fire Departments support was a tremendous encouragement to the citizens.
Mr. McAtee thanked the leadership of Corbin Park, Musgrave-Pennington and Meridian Hills neighborhood associations for holding a National Night Out event. He said all three functions were well attended and very positive.
Mr. McAtee thanked John Dugan, Planning Department Director, and Bob Mier, Planner, for their continued efforts on the 23rd Street Corridor project.
X.
Mr. Rinehart said he mentioned at the last City Council meeting the graffiti problems at McCracken Park. He thanked Police Chief Berry, Major Allen, Chief Shupe, and Officers Foreman and Hernandez, for their involvement in making some arrests at McCracken Park.
Mr. Rinehart thanked Charles Locke, Code Enforcement Supervisor, for assisting with the demolition of a burned building which was a neighborhood blight.
Mr. Foshee congratulated all the new youth councilors. He encouraged the City Council members to invite the youth councilors to the neighborhood meetings.
Mr. Foshee attended the National Night Out event at the Redbud addition where they had an ice cream social and barbecue. He also attended an event at Earlywine Park where several neighborhoods joined forces for the Night Out. He said it was well attended and the Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Department and Oklahoma City Police and Fire Departments participated.
Mr. Foshee encouraged neighborhoods to reduce crime by forming a neighborhood association. He said by meeting regularly you could improve neighborhood security by knowing your neighbors and the people who belong in your neighborhood. Mr. Foshee said he is willing to speak at neighborhood association meetings.
Ms. Simank said she attended a Night Out event at Westlawn Gardens, which is a Building Block neighborhood. She was encouraged by the great turnout of more than 150 people.
Ms. Johnson said she was not available for the Night Out event because she was on vacation. She said this is the first Night Out she’s missed in ten years. She said she mailed out written regrets and apologies to her neighborhoods to let them know she wouldn’t be able to attend.
Ms. Johnson said she was sorry to learn about some permit problems experienced by Mr. Ron Alexander from the Shidler-Wheeler Neighborhood Association. She said she regretted she wasn’t available to help him with those permits.
X.
Ms. Johnson said Rock Manor-Mamosa Heights Neighborhood Association did not have their Night Out event on Tuesday night. She said they had it the following evening and, as a result, she was able to attend. She said she doesn’t know what happens, but it seems every time Rock Manor has a Night Out the Fire Department gets called away for a fire. Ms. Johnson said last week was no exception. She said the Fire Department left to take care of business and they returned once the fire was out.
Mr. Liebmann said he attended the U.S. Singlehanded Championship at Lake Hefner this past weekend with the winner going to the next Olympics in Athens, Greece. Mr. Liebmann said the winner was Andrew Campbell.
Mr. Liebmann said we have put special trust and confidence in our City Manager. Mr. Liebmann said he is going to stand with him on a lot of issues because he has done an outstanding job as city manager. He said when the City Manager recommends something to the City Council, the Council should pay heed.
XI. Citizens to be heard.
Clyde Madden, 1225 NE 12th Street, spoke in opposition to raising the filing fee for running for mayor.
Valerie Thompson, President and CEO of the Urban League of Greater Oklahoma City, thanked the Council for supporting the Family Fun Festival scheduled on August 15-16, 2003, at Washington Park.
XII. City Manager Reports.
1. July 2003 Sales and Use Tax Collections
Mr. Couch said the July Sales Tax collections were $73,000 above target and the July Use Tax collections were also up $143,000. He said the August Sales Tax check, however, was down $300,000 and the August Use Tax check was down $100,000 from target.
Mr. Couch said even though the August sales tax performance is below projections, tax collections are right on target with projections overall for the year-to-date. He said last year at this time the city was $3,000,000 below target and so this year is definitely better. He said we have seen signs that the economy is improving.
XII.
2. Greater Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce Presentation
Roy Williams, delivered the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce presentation.
3. Police/Fire Equipment Projects Update
Mr. Couch says he is disturbed by the resolution brought by Councilman Bowman today because it attempts to pit employees against management. He said The City has some very good employees and we strive to bring employees’ salaries up to market rate. He said reality is The City has finite resources.
Mr. Couch feels if we go too far in the direction this resolution takes us, the Council will have binding commitments and will have fewer options with discretionary funds. He said it could go to the point where we won’t be able to fund parks, roads, Play-in-the-Park programs, code enforcement, etc., at some time in the future.
Mr. Couch announced he has offered the Assistant City Manager position to Police Chief M.T. Berry. He said Chief Berry has accepted the offer to serve as Assistant City Manager effective Friday, August 15, 2003.
