5. Update from LandPlan regarding Main Street Enhancement Project. -- Barbara Tarter (LandPlan) says the project is progressing nicely with the city's pre-work ahead of the contractor going well. The city's work includes new waterlines and meters, and electrical work, and sidewalk cuts then removal. The first section of sidewalk (near the 12th St. Plaza has been poured ... one section will need to be redone). The initial curbs were formed today on the north side of Main between 11th & 12th. With April 7 as the official start date the project allows 90 days for substantial completion and 120 for final completion. ODOT's milling of Main Street asphalt and then new asphalt will follow the contractor's completion of all 4 partial block areas. Four built-in weather days have been used as well as 1 additional weather day (for a total of 5)

6. Consideration and possible action to approve Application for payment No. 1,
Bryant & Bryant Construction. -- approved (~$49K)

7. Consideration and possible action to approve AT&T Agreement, IP enabled Video Service. -- -- approved following a presentation by AT&T's Rhonda Sellers on a new U-Verse product to be available later this year in Collinsville. The new service would provide video services over copper (3000-5000 ft max) and over fiber where available. AT&T would pay the city a 4% fee for services used within the city limits matching the cable TV franchise fees for similar services but noting the AT&T service is not subject to a franchise. The new product is already in place in the Oklahoma City area. Jenks, Owasso and Sand Springs have recently approved the service in their communities. The AT&T network for this capabilty would be expanded with fiber in newer develpment areas and use mostly copper in existing service areas.

8. Consideration and possible action to approve Ordinance No. 810, Community Cablevision franchise agreement. -- tabled for a future meeting

9. Consideration and possible action on Debris Removal Bids. -- The bid by Crowder Disaster Recovery was approved. The bids were split with both the city park and city right-of-ways seperate. It is estimated that ~25,000 cubic yards of brush remain to be removed. The 1-day effort Saturday with both county and city crews working April 19th removed about 2500 cubic yards of limbs and downed trees. The bid was for a 60 day completion but might be done in less than a month when started.

10. Consideration of any new business, which can be considered an emergency, to come before the Collinsville City Commission not known about or which could not have been reasonably anticipated at the time of posting this agenda. -- The Mayor and Commission thanked out-going City Commissioner Trent Rogers for his service to the city.
