7. Discussion, consideration and possible action to renew contract for 2009 with Ricky Hayes of Retail Attractions, LLC. -- item tabled. Ricky Hayes was in Las Vagas at a retail convention (representing Collinsville & other communities). The new contract is less than the $30K first year but apparently has some type of bonus structure for new businesses brought to Collinsville by Hayes..

8. First reading, discussion, consideration, and possible action to adopt Ordinance No. 830, an Ordinance relating to transportation generally, Part 16, Chapter 2 of the Code of City Ordinances of the City of Collinsville, Oklahoma, amending section 16-211, liability insurance required, providing for severability, repealing all Ordinances in conflict therewith and declaring an emergency and effective date. --approved, the old city amount required for taxi cabs was $25K liability insurance. That was upped to $100K to $200K.

9. Consider a motion declaring an emergency on Ordinance No. 830 for preservation of public health, peace and or safety making it effective immediately. --emergency declared & approved

10. Discussion, consideration and possible action on setting Taxi Cab license fee. --approved at $25 per cab per year.

11. Discussion, consideration and possible action to approve application for licensing of a Taxicab from Frank and Tina Myers. --approved

12. Discussion, consideration and possible action on revisions to City Park plan project. --approved, Dee Sink (Park board Chairman) and Keith Franklin (Landplan, park architect) presented the changes recommended by the Park Board at their May 11th meet. Changes included moving the basketball court over near the skateboard park to provide more separation between the youngest and older kids. The old pool house will be salvaged for park storage. The remainder of the old pool structure will be removed / filled in and be a grassy area in the near term but could support other development in the future.

13. First reading, discussion, consideration, and possible action to adopt Ordinance No. 831, an Ordinance relating to Streets and Sidewalks generally, Part 14, Chapter 1 of the Code of the City Ordinances of the City of Collinsville, Oklahoma, amending Sections 14-105 and 14-106, providing for severability, repealing all Ordinances in conflict therewith and declaring an emergency and effective date. -- tabled. I have a whole page of notes on the lengthy discussion (similar to other work sessions in the past few months) but will summarize to a disagreement on the correlation to merchandise on the downtown sidewalks and remaining compliant with the American Disabilities Act (ADA). As the ordinance was not read (nor copies provided) I can only assume the city proposal was going to be removal of all merchandise from the now shortened downtown sidewalks. Phil Ostrander (speaking for the merchants) and Keith Franklin (Landplan, streetscape architect speaking on ADA reguirements) seemed to undermine the city position that future TEA-21 funds would be held up if merchandise was allowed on the sidewalks. Another work session with better merchant notification (& inviting ODOT) was promised before proceeding on this ordinance change . Some type of change is required as the old 4 foot of merchandise allowed would create some ADA compliance conflicts (3-5 foot access) with the new sidewalk widths.

14. Consider a motion declaring an emergency on Ordinance No. 831 for preservation of public health, peace and or safety making it effective immediately. -- n/a

15. First reading, discussion, consideration, and possible action to adopt Ordinance No. 832, an Ordinance relating to Sidewalks generally, Part 14, Chapter 2 of the Code of City Ordinances of the City of Collinsville, Oklahoma, amending Section 14-208 , sidewalk widths in business area, providing for severability, repealing all Ordinances in conflict therewith and declaring an emergency and effective date. --approved. The existing ordinance had fixed 6, 12, & 18 foot sidewalks specified in various parts of town. The new ordinance has the sidewalk widths set by the planning commission and approved by the city commission.

16. Consider a motion declaring an emergency on Ordinance No. 832 for preservation of public health, peace and or safety making it effective immediately. -- emergency declared & approved

17. Discussion, consideration and possible action on the 4th of July activities. -- the city park fireworks will be held Thursday evening July 2nd to allow city worker (& inmate) labor be used without paying holiday pay & overtime. GRDA has once again donated $3000 and ONG ($200) for the event. The commission approved a $4500 spending cap. It was noted that Owasso's fireworks were July 2nd and Skiatook's July 3rd.

18. City Manager Report. -- Pam Polk reported on the following topics:
* May 5th meet with ODOT still trying to get S-Curve work to reach past CHS.
* 2 FEMA grant applications due this week.
* City budget 1st draft expected by Friday (May 22). June 1st work session likely and June 15th public meet.
