Citizen Vote Set For Additional Sales Tax
Park-Road-Jail-Bridge Improvements Proposed

Donation For Police Overtime ($3,673)

Comprehensive Plan Set For Public Review Process

Brief Summary of Dec. 29, 2008 Special Session
The city commission tabled the sales tax election question Monday based on an inconsistant amount on the agenda -vs- the actual amount in the resolution. This delay will likely cause a shift from a March 2009 citizen vote to an April 2009 citizen vote on a new 3/4 cent sales tax for 20 years + a 10 year extension of an existing 1 cent tax set to expire in ~10 years. -- Ted Wright 8:25pm Monday 12/29/2008 (The election would likely be for park-road-bridge improvements & an extension of the downtown streetscape & a jail). -- more details below)
The only official action Dec. 29th was the hiring of Johanning and Byrom, P.C. as Financial Legal Counsel to the CMA (for the proposed sales tax election and administration at a rate of 1% of the amount raised). Present were Mayor Sallee & Commissioners Pam Porter, Bud York and Billie Reeder
Unofficial Summary of
Potential Sales Tax Use
(from my notes taken from Mayor Stan Sallee's verbal presentations to the Chamber of Commerce Dec. 4th and City Commission Dec 29th above.) -- Ted 1/2
$3.3 million total No-Growth projected revenue to be raised by new 20-year 3/4 cent sales tax and 10 year extension of an existing 1 cent sales tax now set to expire in about 10 years. Growth would allow additional projects or early pay off of planned projects.
~$1.25 million City Park Improvements (splash pad & equipment, skateboard area, and likely more)
~$.5 million City Road Overlays (~3.3 miles worth of asphalt with County assist to apply)
~$.5 million City Jail (prisoners taken to Owasso since City Hall fire in Dec. 2001)
~$300KStreetscape Improvements (extend from 9th to 14th) assumes ODOT funds for $800K total
~$300KReplace 19th Street Bridge by Park
~$100KSidewalk (from Main St. to Park via new 19th St. bridge)
New city sales tax would increase to 3.75 cents (or 9.25 cents with county & state included'). Glenpool is area's highest at 9.75 cents. Owasso is apparently also considering a sales tax increase.
