8. Presentation from

representative of the Tulsa Chamber made a presentation on economic development
efforts in the next few years in 18 counties of northeast Oklahoma and requesting
Collinsville to "invest" $5000 to be a part of that effort (with
a $12.5 million 5 year budget). Tulsa had funded their own efforts like this
in previous years (resulting in new jobs and educational improvements) but
decided to expand this year to let neighboring communities be more directly
involved. The city will consider the request in their upcoming budget discussions.
9. Discussion and possible action to appoint Fawn Ozug to the Park Board, with term expiring May 3, 2014. -- approved
10. Discussion and possible
action to purchase EMS Equipment. -- approved
the lease-purchase of two cots and 2 stair chairs. The cot shown in the photo
below ... on display at the commission meeting Monday ... has been in field
testing for about a monthand will be one of the cots purchased. The "Striker"
cot is hydrallically operated and will save the EMS crew from several hundreds
of pounds of lifting on a typical shift making things safer for both the patient
and EMS crew. The total price is over $28K and will be financed locally.
11. Discussion and possible action concerning Ordinance Number 853, an Ordinance
relating to streets, sidewalks and other public places, Part 2, Chapter 50,
establishing and adopting Section 50-25 making it unlawful to play on sidewalks,
alleys or streets in the business district or adjacent to any business except
as authorized by law, providing for severability, repealing all Ordinances
in conflict herewith; and declaring an emergency and effective date. --
approved.
Apparently "play"
on city sidewalks, alley, and streets was already "unlawful". This
ordinance "cleanup" reduces that tojust the business areas ... and
not the residential areas. There was minimal discussion and no public comment
other than my own question on the definition of the word play. The answer
given was that the intent was not to "arrest kids playing on sidewalks"
but to provide the means to respond to reported nusiances in the business
areas. -- Ted
12. Consider a motion declaring an emergency on Ordinance Number 853 for preservation of public health, peace and/or safety making it effective immediately. -- approved
13. Discussion and possible action concerning Ordinance Number 854, an Ordinance relating to traffic and vehicles, Part 2, Chapter 56, establishing and adopting Section 56-798 prohibiting the riding of a bicycle, skateboard, scooter or electric scooter upon a sidewalk within a business district except for those used by physically disabled persons, providing for severability, repealing all Ordinances in conflict herewith and declaring an emergency and effective date. -- approved
14. Consider a motion declaring an emergency on Ordinance Number 854 for preservation of public health, peace and/or safety making it effective immediately. -- approved
15. Discussion and possible action concerning the purchase of a new replacement vehicle for the Police Department. -- approved. A new $21K Crown Victoria police cruiser will be purchased from Bob Hurley Ford and likely folded into the existing loan with American Bank. The vehicle replaces a vehicle totaled in an accident (with $6K from insurance). The other older police vehicles recently replaced are still awaiting city action to either auction or try to sell on E-Bay.
