The historic bricks in question came from the reconstruction of Main Street over the past year (west of 14th St). The bricks (manufactured here at the local brick plant) had been in place since the 1915-16-17 timeframe. Commissioner Brad Francis (& I) spoke in favor of saving (& protecting) this unique resource to be used for restoring other brick streets in Collinsville. Noting that a properly maintained brick street has a life of multiple decades -vs- 5 to 7 years for an asphalt street.

Polk recommended it be reduced to $40 annually if it was decided to restart. Commissioner Francis indicated there was other old language iin the ordiance that were not "business friendly" including inspection and revocation by the mayor for example..

5. Discussion and possible action concerning Water Supply Feasibility Study. -- Approved. The city has yet another DEQ Consent Order to make improvement to Collinsville's drinking water ... after a notice of violation. Jay Updike recommended the city take a broader / longer term look at alternatives before just spending more money on the existing city infrastructure. The system now gets untreated water via a 1964 vintage concrete pipeline from Oologah Lake (8 miles away in need of major repair/replacement) and is treated at a Collinsville water treatment plant (1979 vintage and near capacity). Updike says the study would compare options such as buying pre-treated water from Tulsa (which has a line already to Bailey ay 116th Street (2 miles away). I did not hear a cost quote for the study. -- Ted
