8. Discussion, consideration and possible action to approve Resolution Number 2014-15, a Resolution signifying the City Commission’s support of the Tulsa Regional Chamber “2015 OneVoice Regional Legislative Agenda” initiative establishing state and federal legislative priorities concerning items of mutual municipal interest. -- Tabled to allow Collinsville schools to review also ... as one of the alternative city funding sources might be property taxes. Cities are limited to sales taxes (which go down in recessions) and use taxes (which are under reported and collected). Commissioner Garret moved that the item be tabled and Commissioner Shafer provided the 2nd. Commissioner Francis voted no on the motion to table.

9. First reading of Ordinance Number 879. -- Items 9-10-11 are a redo from the last commission meeting when the same rezoning (of 123 N. 14th) was approved but lacked the agenda wording for an "emergency". After a lengthy discussion concerning the "appropriate" declaring of an emergency per city city charter and state laws and supreme court rulings cited by City Attorney Ken Underwood and questions from Commissioner Garrett and Mayor Bud York, this commission approved a motion to waive the first reading by a 3-0 vote. That cleared the way to expedite the following item 10 by making it effective immediately (if approved unnamiously) without delays for publication and a later vote. But before item 10 was addressed, Commissioner Garrett excused himself from the proceedings and left the building. This made consideration of item 10 impossible this evening so it was reverted to the effect of a first reading and requiring legal publication and at least a week delay for a vote.

10. Discussion, consideration and possible action to approve Ordinance Number 879, an Ordinance amending Ordinance Number 606, the Zoning Code of the City of Collinsville, Oklahoma, by approving CZ-186, repealing all Ordinances in conflict herewith; and declaring an emergency.
(Request is to rezone a tract located at 123 N. 14th from CBD Central Business District to RD Residential Duplex District.) -- delayed ... see item 9 comments

11. Consider a motion declaring an emergency for Ordinance Number 879 for preservation of public health, peace and/or safety making it effective immediately. -- N/A

12. Discussion, consideration and possible action to appoint Herb Weaver to fill the unexpired term of Mark Courtney to the Board of Adjustment with term expiring December 1, 2014. -- Approved

13. Adjournment.

Ted Wright Editorial
(relating to item 9)
I'm not sure I can give Commissioner Garrett any "style points" but it is refreshing to see just about everything "questioned" that has appeared to be taken for granted in recent years by the city commission. Especially two of my favorite topics: 1) declaring of an emergency (just to expedite the process) rather than being "actual" emergency. 2) State Legal Publication Rules -- i.e. posting agendas on a bulletin board that is rarely seen by the public or in a newspaper (but not a more viewed web site). -- Ted 10/21/2014
FYI: The law apparently allows the commission to declare an emergency just by a unamious vote requiring no additional justification of the emergency. And according to Ken Underwood that declaration can not be challenged.
And I do appreciate that the city clerk shares electronic agendas that I publish, even thought it is not required.
