Freedom and justice for all people.

8:12 – 9:00Speaker 3

Thank you, Mr. Scott Vox and Mr. Hinkle. Now, I would like to welcome the board of directors. Mr. Gidai, please report to the auditorium. We will move forward to present the resolution. Mr. Jake Brown, would you like to come as close as possible? Jake is the best employee of this month. I would like to introduce him a little, so please read the letter of resignation to the secretary-general.

9:00 – 11:09Speaker 2

Mr. Jake Brown has been working as a secretary-general for three years and is the director of the Animal Welfare Department of the Development Service Bureau. Animal shelters have suffered from serious lack of human resources and have had a huge impact on daily operations. At such a difficult time, Jake took on additional responsibilities, adjusted his work schedule, and went to work on holidays, showing off his excellent health to maintain the essential functions of the shelter. Jake worked diligently to maintain the arrangement of staff and the important tasks of his daily life, and tried his best to take care of all animals for their health. Jake's leadership, flexibility, and unwavering determination have been an essential support for both staff and animals in difficult times. Jake's actions represent the unwavering determination for responsibility and animal welfare, and he has always been at the forefront of action in the necessary situations. Therefore, the mayor and the board of directors of Oklahoma City are deeply grateful to Jake Brown for his dedication to the citizens, and we would like to bless him with the award for the month's best employee of the South Oklahoma City Corners Club in August of 2026. Jake, you represent the sense of duty that we staff have. I am grateful from the bottom of my heart for your dedication and work that greatly surpasses expectations. Well, this is a resolution, so I will proceed with the resolution. Let's see if we can proceed well. Then, please agree. There was a consensus and a disagreement. Please vote. I vote in favor. My terminal is still being read. I agree. Yes, it was resolved at the last minute. Jake, would you like to say hello? It doesn't matter if it's a short word, so please. I just want to say thank you.

11:10 – 20:10Speaker 3

I am very honored to receive such a prize. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you very much. Everyone, let's give Jake a round of applause again. Next, there is an application for a member of the Office of the Office of the Office of the Office of the Office of the Office of the Office of the Office of the Office of the Office It's a tie. Next, item 3E. It's a resolution to approve my business trip to the APTA Transform Expo in Chicago on October 5th. I received a consent and a re-election. Please vote. There is no application from the committee today. Then, after the item, I will move on to the report of the city manager. City manager, please. Yes, I will submit the sales tax report for August today. Regarding sales tax, As we have experienced so far, the changes up and down are coming back. Last month was a 4.6% increase. This month, it was a 5.1% decrease. Regarding this, we considered last year's calculations and predicted to some extent. The revenue of that period was reflected in August, so I expected it to decrease a little this month. Well, the sales tax has been reduced by about 3% since entering this year, and it is in a state of decline. On the other hand, the usage tax has increased significantly and has become a two-digit amount. This is because some of the mistakes made by vendors last year were about 5 months in the beginning of the year. Therefore, it is not expected that the current number will exceed the target of about $ 1.5 million. If all of this is subtracted, it can be said that it is roughly the target at the moment. Therefore, there are still no clear signs of an increase or decrease in sales tax. Currently, it continues to cooperate with Russell, He predicts a positive trend in the future. We predict a 2% to 2.5% growth year-on-year. So it's going well at the moment. We will keep you posted as the situation progresses. Other than that, only the terms of the application and the terms of the pay are confirmed by OKC.gov. Thank you very much. Next is the sixth item, the will of the board of directors. There are items A and B. You will be given an agreement in total. The agreement and the Supreme Court agreed. Please vote. ZENKAI Ichi de kaketsu desu. Next is the 7th item, the requirement for meaningless continuation. It is scheduled to be postponed to September 29th for items 11a and 11b. Do you have any other items? There is only one left on page 19. It is an unsecured building on page 19, 11g1. Well, this item will be removed from the agenda. Item J of 1813 North East 49th Street requires re-examination for additional buildings. I understand. Next is the 8th item. The 8th item is the permit and event that can be deleted. A. Item 8A is the annual permit for the Oklahoma River Fire Festival by the Riverport Foundation. Mr. Stevenson, who is in charge of this, is here to explain. Please explain in detail up to item D. Can you come to the end of the session and explain everything? After that, we will review individually. It's perfect. Thank you for your attention. Thank you to everyone in the committee. A. Then, we will apply for annual practice permission at the river port. This is for coaches and players to access the eastern area without being disturbed by obstacles such as bus boats, and to be able to practice safely. Next is the permission to apply for annual fireworks. This allows you to hold 10 annual fireworks shows as an end to events and special events. The third application is the permission of the Oklahoma Riata Festival. The Oklahoma Riata Festival, which will be the 22nd this year, is an event that lasts for three days. Friday starts with the OG&E Night Sprint. The Dragon Boat, Kayak, Canoe, and Boat Competition will be held against companies, and on Saturday, a head race from 4000m near Scissors Tail Park to Okana will be held. On Saturday night, a night race against universities will be held. And on Saturday or Sunday morning, a head race of a 4,000-meter boat race will be held again, and a food truck will also take place. It's a very fun event. Please take your feet to the venue. The last permit application is for the Youth Boat League. This is an opportunity to learn to ride a boat for junior high and high school students in Oklahoma City. This year, 160 athletes will run a 500-meter course, and an additional 400 spectators are expected to come. These are the four permit applications. I understand. Thank you for the explanation of the summary and your daily activities. Let's start with the permit for item A fireworks. Please vote for me. I agree with you. Please vote. It was resolved at the last minute. Mr. Penton, is there anything you would like to say about the remaining permissions? I'm just looking forward to the event, and I would like to say that I am grateful for your efforts so far. Thank you very much. I understand.

Thank you very much. Thank you very much. I don't have a request for a statement. Well, I wonder if I want to talk about something about this. Good morning, members of the City Council and the City Council. I'm Tung Nguyen. The office is located on 2423 North Class Street. I came to talk about the Chushu Festival.

20:16 – 20:52Speaker 1

Good morning. Good morning. My name is Nerissa Burry. I am the CEO of Oklahoma City's American Suicide Prevention Foundation, which will be held on September 12th. Oklahoma State has a high ranking in the suicide statistics. Currently, there are many suicides in the 7th place in the United States. In fact, I just found out yesterday that the person who was passing through our church died from suicide. So this is a meaningful activity. We have been doing this for the past 16 years. Thank you very much for your support.

20:59Speaker 3

Thank you, Mr. President.

21:01Speaker 4

Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you for this initiative. It is a very important activity, so we support it comprehensively and thank you for everything. Thank you.

21:21 – 25:56Speaker 2

The 8th item, which was resolved at the last meeting, is a public place that can be removed to hold the Down Show Festival and the 5km Marathon held by the Central Oklahoma Down Show Association on September 26th. こちらはジョシーカーンさんです。 市議会と市長に少し話したいことがあるそうです。 ジョシーさん、どうぞ。 ジョシーはダウン症候群協会の新しい理事です。 どうぞジョシーさん。 はい、えっと。 おはようございます。 市議会の皆さん。 私の名前はパイカーンです。 I am the chairperson of the Central Oklahoma Down Memorial Army Association, DESCO. Today, I came to talk about something very special for me. That is... Down Memorial Army Festival. The festival will be held at Marriott Gardens on Saturday, September 26th. This is a special event to commemorate the 32nd anniversary. For 32 years, families and friends have gathered to bless the people with Down syndrome. This day is important because we have to celebrate the people with Down syndrome. We want people with Down syndrome to learn, walk, make friends, help people, and know that they are important members of the local community. We belong to this festival. This is also the biggest funding-raising event this year. The funds we collect are more than 1,000 generations. We are helping the families of Central Oklahoma. We are supporting the cost of many other programs such as CK's Kitchen, Parents' Association, elementary school funds, and so on. とても楽しいイベントでもあります。 5kmと1mのファンラン啓発オークがあります。 音楽、食事、ゲーム、そしてたくさんの友達が待っています。 何千人もの人々が一つの理由のために集まります。 それは、 It is to bless the people with Down syndrome. Today, we came to ask you to admit it. I hope we can celebrate together this year. Desco cooperates with us and works to make the festival a safe and welcoming place for everyone. I hope you will join us on September 26th. You can join my team, Slow&Go. Let's walk together and celebrate together. And most of all, please come and see what people with Down syndrome can do. Thank you very much.

25:56Speaker 3

26:01 – 26:14Speaker 2

It looks like a wonderful event. Congratulations on your 32nd anniversary. I am happy to submit the agreement of approval. The agreement has been approved. Please vote.

Thank you very much for your hard work, Josie-san. Yes, next is about the opening of Little Red Heartland Walk Social with the permission that can be removed from the collaboration with Oklahoma City Water Business Foundation and the Life Share Foundation. Jocelyn Stanley is here. Hello. How are you all doing? I'm fine. My name is Jocelyn Stanley and I'm from the Life Share Foundation.

26:42 – 27:13Speaker 2

I came here as the representative of Little Red Heart 5K. Our event gathers about 750 donor families, recipients, and athletes from all over the country, and through the donation of organs and organizations, we raise funds to save more lives. It will be the 8th time this year, but it will be the 5th time at STARS & STRIPES PARK. It is scheduled to cooperate with other non-profit organizations to prepare kids areas and meals at events that families can enjoy. We are looking forward to it, so please visit us.

27:18 – 28:49Speaker 3

I understand. Thank you very much. Yes, this is related to items 12 and 8, but would anyone like to make a statement? I hope you are blessed with wonderful weather. I hope it will be a wonderful event. I agree with the approval here. Thank you very much. Then, there was an agreement and a re-agreement. Please vote. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Next, we will close the OCMFA and collect it as the Oklahoma City Public Property Office, OCPA. It is from item A to E, but it can be unified. There are unification and re-unification. Please vote. The OCPA, which has been resolved with unanimous agreement, is closed and the Council will resume. Next is item 9, approval of the bill. There is no presentation scheduled. Is there an individual resolution, a question, or an item you would like to take out for comment? Yes, Mayor.

28:49Speaker 1

Good morning.

28:50 – 53:22Speaker 3

Good morning. I would like to ask for an individual resolution on item BW, please. I understand. Thank you very much. Billy Lewis said, Hello, I'm Billy Lewis. I am the chairman of the Business Improvement District, BID. You may have heard of this story before, so I don't take much time, but I would like to thank you for your support over the years. A, BID, that is, the Downtown Business Improvement District. We are located in the center of the city. We manage, placemaking, and hold events on behalf of the six districts in the downtown. A, Midtown, Automobile Alley, West Village, Deep Deuce, Brick Town. As you all know, we provide a lot of services. Our most visible activity is Green Team. It is a clean and safe activity that circulates and picks up garbage in that green truck and supports homeless people. Since the start of the activity, The Green Team has been in contact with more than 10,000 homeless people. It is a great success. All business owners have approved the budget for the year 2027. This is the material at hand. We agreed to pay ourselves for these additional services. The Business Improvement District has approved the budget, and it has been submitted to you today. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. I will continue to quote from the article of Chair A and Politico. For those of you at home, please search the Internet for Politico Magazine. The title of the article is, Two professors found the cause of the mass murder. Will politicians pay attention? Will politicians pay attention? They are doing joint research with the two professors. One is Julian Anderson. He is a professor of crime science at Hamline University, and the other is James Denley, a professor of criminal law at Metro Shuritsu University. They investigated all the gun shooting incidents that occurred in this country. There are several things that I have repeatedly mentioned. It is because I want to reduce the violence at school and create an environment that is suitable for learning. There is one article that has not been quoted here yet. It is the words of Peterson, a professor of criminal law. After verifying the data, it is stated that the data clearly shows the limits of the current system. The law enforcement agency conducted a survey. Excuse me, I ran a little ahead. I'm sorry. It's a recovery machine from the wind. I'm really sorry. I'm sorry. Thank you very much. I apologize again. Please forgive me. My head is a little confused. Let's go back to Mr. Peterson's story. I will quote. Since the Columbine incident, the school has been focused on installing metal detectors, placing armed police officers, and teaching children how to hide and escape. In other words, this is the approach we are currently taking. We put metal detectors in the school, place armed police officers, and teach children how to hide and escape. I will go back to the quote, but the changes that I am starting to feel here in Minnesota, at least as a researcher, are that people are starting to realize that it will not be solved in a fortress. In the case of more than 990% of the cases, the 10 rioters at the school are targeting their own schools. They are not external humans, but internal humans. In Minnesota, a bill was passed to recognize that providing funding for training and counselors to prevent suicide is the safety of the public. We hope to continue to go in this direction in the future. End of quote Earlier, there was a story that Oklahoma was 7th in the total number of suicides in the United States, but we approved it and passed the event. We have approved the event. We, the senior officials, politicians, should be able to respond better than the three effective measures such as metal detectors, armed police officers, and training to hide and escape. Providing funds to counselors for suicide prevention training at school is a true solution. なぜか理由はわかりませんが、この議会はその方向へ進もうとしません。 私たちは武装警官を学校に配置し続ければ、子どもたちや職員、管理職、教師、そしてカウンセラーの安全が守られると思い込んでいます。 データはそのようなアプローチを支持していません。 これは警察を否定する発言ではありません。 Every year, except once, I have submitted an approval form to the city budget, including the budget for Oklahoma City Police. This is a repetition, but this is not a counter-police statement. This is just calling for the research of police law and criminal law experts to be dug up a little and to take effective measures. If we are seriously working to reduce the damage and crime at school, And that's why I'm looking for a different solution every time this bill is passed. I will continue to pay attention to true measures to protect the safety of children from now on. Thank you. I would like to express my gratitude to all the policemen who work at the mayor's school. They are not just standing and chasing people around. I am also the chairman of the Police Education Committee, but I can assure you that many police officers are working hard as mentors so that they can get what they want from their children and their families. Therefore, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your contribution to your daily lives. There is a question. Yes. Are you sending police officers from the city to the school? Or are you asking for support from the school? We have been building partnerships for many years. We are not trying to establish this by joining forces. We have been cooperating with OKCPS and other schools for many years. This is what we sell. It's not like they're preparing for RFP or something, it's just a partnership. We've been cooperating for many years, and we've been trying to build a better relationship so that it doesn't have to be a forceful way or a forceful way. We just want to keep our peace, and we sincerely hope that the police officers will build a trust relationship with the students there. As the chairman of the council pointed out, that's what makes the difference. I know that many schools are very grateful to them. What I want to talk about is... It doesn't matter if you don't speak until the meeting is over. I want to make time for this issue. I would like to tell the chairmen and managers, but the school side is asking for the cooperation of law enforcement agencies in such a situation. On the other hand, not only this council, but also the council and the federal government have asked for financial aid for mental health counselors, but the complaint has not been received. According to the same survey, it is a solution to place psychologists in schools all over the country, and even if the annual salary of 70,000 dollars per person is low, the government of the federal, state, and city will issue the necessary amount. The total amount is $3.5 billion. The cost of the Iran war is now $2 billion or more. In other words, we have made a choice. The government continues to make the choice of choosing a different path rather than an effective path at all levels. Therefore, the school has come to us for help. What we are saying at the Boys and Girls Center is wonderful. It is a one-off, and this committee, which has recognized four Boys and Girls Centers, the mayor, and the residents of OKC. It's just a part of the solution. There are only four youth centers in the city. There are also 621 square miles. Crimes do not stop only around these four centers. Therefore, if you are more serious about the intervention than the intervention you are currently making, should go even further. I strongly ask this committee, the city manager, and the mayor to monitor this data. I have already sent it to you. Please look at this data. Please look at this survey result. Regarding mental health counselors, are there any other ways for us to get involved? Currently, OKCPS Oklahoma City High School does not have funds to hire counselors like this. For example, can you support OKCPS? As I mentioned earlier about other schools, There are various schools in the area. If you can't withdraw from the general fund, can you support the use of the women's fund system to secure such counselor funds? It is possible. There are several women's funds. I'm serious. This is really important to me. I repeat, counselor and suicide prevention are important. I don't intend to punish the people of the law enforcement agency here at all, and I am grateful for your daily contributions. I would like to ask everyone to consider it more deeply in order to protect the safety of children. Therefore, the issue of women's money is serious. What kind of investigation can we do? Already, the Hammond議員 and I have been consulted on the issue of women's money. Now, it is just the right time to consider it. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Now, there is a possibility that there is a conspiracy or a conspiracy about this matter. Conspiracy and the best, second, right? Please vote. It was resolved in 7-2. Next is the remaining item of the consent docket consent case. Let's re-consent. The consent and re-consent were issued. Please vote. It was resolved in full. Next is item 10, a case that requires consent from the concurrence docket. From item A. There is also an AC. You can fight with one of the same skills. Please vote for the same skill and the best. May I ask you a question about the Gold Dome of the item AC? Is this the only case in this議題 that deals with this matter? Yes, this is a treaty with Economic Development Trust. I may have repeated myself and made a mistake in my ear, but the Concurrence Docket does not actually have a legal authority. In other words, we are not approving it, we are just officially confirming it, and the city will not be the holder of that treaty. Yes, this is the only case on this case. So, will there be any chance for us to officially approve this content in the future? A few months ago, Excuse me. Yes, a few months ago, I approved the allocation of funds at the board meeting. I don't remember the exact time, but I approved the allocation of funds a few months ago. If the board of directors approves the economic development agreement, it will be sent to the economic development trust, so it will not come back to the city again. Excuse me again. I was sick from the weekend. There's been a lot of talk about the Gold Dome in the news, but that's right. Are you planning to continue to compete with them in the future? This is the end. This is all. I understand. Then, can I talk to you for a moment? I have been contacted by everyone, and I would like to make it public here. It seems that those who contacted me have two concerns at the same time. One is that many people are concerned. I don't know if you've been in touch with other colleagues, but if this division is carried out and the business betrays its expectations, I think it is important to point it out in a public place. I don't know if this will be discussed, but it's a story that I'm actually listening to. Thank you. Yes, I will answer this. This economic development agreement contains wonderful protective conditions for protecting the city. To add a few, this structure is worth $ 3 million and will be repaid with interest. The compensation is carried out through the mechanism of tax increase or profit distribution. The compensation is made according to both of these materials. And the important thing is that this $ 3 million of interest is put in the escrow, the third-party reserve, and the account. First, the other party must have the property. Secondly, it is necessary to sign a contract called an interest contract or an escrow contract. There are various legal documents. In other words, the capital of the city will be the last capital input in the project. Therefore, I think this is a sufficient protective measure for the parliament. It will be repeated, but this is a difficult project, and there was a long history that various plans were stopped in the past. It can be said that it is the best opportunity to save this property. I would like to repeat that the developer has actually added more than 9 million dollars and has built a protection measure that will meet all the conditions including ownership and acquisition of the property. Our current situation is exactly as it is. Our funds will be introduced as the last piece of the project. Kenny, thank you for saying that. I think that the protection measures are extremely important, so some of the people who told me about their concerns in the public place may not know about such protection measures. Therefore, it is important to hear such opinions in the public place. When this project was first submitted to the Council, I would like to express my gratitude to you and Joanna for making these protective measures. This leads to the second concern that I am hearing. I myself do not have that concern. However, there are people who have opinions, so I would like to address them. I do not know if there is a direct contact with me, but there is definitely an opinion that this building should not be preserved in my second office. They just think that this building should not be preserved. That's right. Their claim is that it should be left to the private market. I want you to know that kind of people, I understand your opinion, but as you pointed out, as I pointed out when I submitted my approval for this case two years ago, I do not agree with that idea. This building is very important in terms of its architectural resonance and its relevance to the people of this town. At least most of the residents of District 2 are sick and tired of seeing historical buildings destroyed, and they want to preserve and restore them. As I said at the time, I'm not sure if this person or organization is responsible, but I wish them success. This building has a big meaning. Even if they don't do well, I think they'll make a way to keep this building alive. So I wanted to make that point clear. Even if it sounds like a waste of time to explain the process, It is important to show that these two concerns are presented by the citizens and that they are aware of them as an effective mechanism. And while there are such concerns, you should be able to understand why we agree with this proposal. Thank you very much. Is it okay to add? Yes. I completely agree with your idea of ​​saving the gold dome. Also, as I said before, I will add that this development company did not go through a very competitive process. This machine has been open to the public for many years. So far, only this person has made decent suggestions. Therefore, I feel that I often hear voices that compare the abstract and better options that do not actually exist with this proposal. Therefore, I also hope that he will do well, and I hope that this plan will succeed. However, at least the building will remain for the time being, And then, will be completed in December 2027. I think it is possible to extend it for another 6 months, but if we do not make it in time, we will have to make corrections or make another decision. I understand. Thank you very much. Then I am accepting the vote. Oh, here it is. I'll close it with this. It's a perfect match. Thank you very much. Next is item 11. It's a matter of individual deliberation. Item 11A and 11B have been sent ahead, so we'll move on to 11C. This is the final board of directors to amend the ban on parking in the south side of North West 13th Street. Chairman Hammond, please. I ask for your approval. I agree with the agreement. Please vote. It's a one-on-one solution. Item 11D is a final resolution of the Board of Directors to determine the restrictions on parking in the area of ​​Southwest 10th Street from Walker to Harvey and its adjacent areas. Chairman Hammond, please. I ask for your approval. There was a consensus and a re-election. Please vote. It's a one-on-one solution. I understand. Item E is the final draft of the Zoning and Urban Planning Regulations. This was also presented at the previous meeting. Just in case, I have previously presented it in relation to solar panels in specific zoning areas. If you don't have any comments or questions, we can consider the final resolution of this draft. Thank you for watching. Please vote. It's a one-on-one solution. Item 11-F1 is about the advanced constructions described here. Amy, is there anyone who wants to make a statement? No, there's no one. There's no one. So let's move on to the F2 resolution. These are declared to be advanced constructions. There was a consensus and a re-election. Please vote. It's a one-on-one solution. Item 11G1 is a meeting on unregulated buildings, except for the one that was previously omitted. Amy, is there anyone who wants to speak at this meeting? No, not yet. Not yet, so let's move on to the G2 resolution that declares that the building is not safe. There is a consensus and there are those who agree. Please vote. The item H1, which was resolved at the last meeting, is about the abandoned building described here. Amy, do you have a request for someone to make a statement? No, I don't. Then, I will proceed with the decision of H2, which declares that the building was abandoned. There is a consensus and there are those who agree. Please vote. The first item is the resolution to be established as the Increment Area 20, which was previously designated as the Increment Area P. There is a presentation. Yes, Kenny Satt of the Economic Development Alliance is here to explain the beginning of this TIF Area, the Increment Area. It is a very short presentation, but I will show you the map. This is a supplementary, just in case, but this is part of the Innovation TIF project project. The red color on the screen indicates that it will be 20 when it is activated with the current area P, pole P. I repeat, we have established a TIF district, and even if the council approves it, the functions such as funds entering the TIF fund will not start until it is actually activated. This district is the 13th street and it continues all the way from Broadway to the 1st street, and as you can see, it expanded this TIF district to the west of I-235 in the reform of 2023. In other words, it is to revitalize those areas. I am happy to report that, but the reason for doing this is that at least three in this area, It is because four projects are actually in progress. I think some of them are approaching completion. This will enable the system to operate and the standard year to be set, so that each project will be able to receive an increase or increase in tax. This is part of the incentive contract for some projects. The target is the beautiful building under construction in 13th Street and Broadway's Guernsey Headquarters, 5th Street and Ornate, the Alley's End Project, and The Hill, etc. These are all construction projects that are currently in progress. In other words, it will be repeated, but this will be effective for 25 years because it will make Zougaku District effective. If you have any other questions, I will answer them. I understand. If you don't have any questions, you can submit your consent. I submitted my consent and my second opinion. Please vote. It has been resolved completely. Item 11J is a joint agreement with Oklahoma City Economic Development Trust, and the long-term movie project, Buenos Aires, which has been proposed, is recognized as an appropriate project for the movie screening system of the strategic investment program, and it is approved to be a dividend of about $89,000. Please present. Yes, Mr. Jill Simpson of the Oklahoma City Film Office will explain this project.

53:23 – 56:36Speaker 1

Good morning. Today, we would like to introduce an independent film project called Buenos Aires. This is a long-term independent film, and it is a story that unravels miracles that go out on a journey of investigation into Buenos Aires, where a journalistic journalist suffering from trauma from the war goes on a journey of investigation into Buenos Aires. It is a story with a theme of progress. Aaron Elizabeth Cook, who is from Oklahoma City, is the director, and the shooting will be held from mid-October to early November this year. The production team and production company is led by Miracle Studio LLC. They have an office on the 18th street of Oklahoma City. 75% of the filming is done in Oklahoma City. Line producers from Oklahoma City are participating. Excuse me. The line producer from Tulsa is participating. 80% of the three facilities in Oklahoma City are based in Oklahoma City, and the cost is estimated at $217,9786. It is 73% of the budget. Based on their budget scale, we recommend 5% of the reserve certification, and the estimated local interest rate is $1799,715. We have reached 80% for the requirement of 50% staff employment. We are planning to achieve 75% in Oklahoma City for the requirement of 50% shooting days. We have reached 90% for the requirement of 50% contract with the business of Oklahoma City. The visual effect, re-recorded sound, and sound mixing will be performed in the Apex Studio in Oklahoma City. This is something we would like to highly recommend. The shooting is carried out at both the One Set Studio and the Film Makers' Ranch outside of Kyuuban, and we have been certified as a weekly refund. Therefore, we recommend the $89,986, which is a 5% refund, to this project. They employ 85 local staff for 15 days of shooting, which is equivalent to 1,275 working days. 80% of the staff are local residents, and the appropriate labor income is $850,512. We also use Apex Post as a post production facility. Highlight is that 75% of the number of shootings are in Oklahoma City, 80% are local staff, and 90% are local businesses. The total cost of the economic effect is 4,920,000 dollars. The number of direct and indirect employment losses is 393. Labor income is 236,410 dollars. The total cost of the project is 1,799,715 dollars. The ratio is $322,781. The salary and daily income outside the line is $41,583. The salary and daily income on the line is $449,992. Do you have any questions? I understand. Thank you. Thank you, Jill. Let's move on to the 11J item.

56:54 – 1:00:44Speaker 3

Compromise and re-election, please. Please vote. It has been resolved in a one-on-one basis. Article 11K1 is a resolution that gives authority to the Supreme Court to accept the verdict without acknowledging responsibility in the lawsuit against Holloway v. Lewis v. Oklahoma City. It is a case of Lewis v. Oklahoma City. There is no request for an executive session or an unannounced meeting. Compromise, please. Re-election, please. All in all, all in all, all in all, all in all, all in all, That's all for today's vote. Next is item 12. Please comment from the committee. Section 1. Section 2. A. This is a consultation with a manager of a certain city. Previously, there was a contact about the funding for counselors in Oklahoma City Public Schools or schools in Oklahoma City and the opportunity for women's funds. Specifically, he is a member of Healthy Minds, who I discussed with Chairman Hammond, but who previously presented at this meeting. It is a group funded by the In-As-Match Foundation. I will tell you to clarify the information source. I think I sent an email to that office about 6 months ago. As a way to raise funds to place the necessary counselors at school, they gave us a specific opportunity to raise money. So that might be a good starting point. Also, thank you Stone and StoneCypher. I would like to thank the Legislative Council for listening to my request to call mental health funds at the federal level to this area as priority issues for Oklahoma City. I would like to thank the Legislative Council for listening to my request to call mental health funds at the federal level to this area as priority issues for Oklahoma City.

I would like to thank the Legislative Council for listening to my request to call mental health funds at the federal level to this area as priority issues for Oklahoma City. I would like to thank the Legislative Council for listening to my request to call mental health funds at the federal level to this area I will carefully choose words, but I will go back to the discussion about the flock camera two weeks ago and talk. About 30 residents visited us and gave their opinions. Well, five or six of them were not even residents of Oklahoma City. In the end, we received a murder notice from our family, This is very unforgivable. It is not completely forgiven. The news agency reported that we completely ignored the citizens. However, 30 out of 700,000 people are not perfect. Two flock cameras owned by the city are installed in Daigoku. There are 90 flock cameras in the city as a whole, and there are 40 flock cameras set up by the five housing owners. Therefore, I think that I have fulfilled that responsibility on behalf of my elected people. I repeat, but I would like to proceed with the story carefully. However, basically, we, who are volunteers, receive rewards, but Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Part 6. I didn't mean to say anything, but I will say it after all. I just want to say, welcome to my world.

1:01:11 – 1:01:59Speaker 1

In 2020, I was reported to be killed by a family of police officers and police officers, and not only Oklahoma City, but also by the entire U.S. Police Corps. Yes, and I just say about the issue that I am passionate about on a daily basis. That's all. So I... What do you mean? I can only think of it as a welcome to my world. To be specific, the police mobilization group posted my photo and teased the people, and they tried to make me hate them, and they released the address online. Yes. So. Welcome to my world.

1:02:12 – 1:02:48Speaker 3

Yes, in summary, sometimes I feel that there is a shortage of candidates when a large event comes to the city. It should be done better. I would like to thank Jeff Mulder and his staff. They hosted the Airport Management Technology Symposium from August 24 to 26. There were airport operators from all over the world, such as Poland. It was a big event, and it seemed to be very popular when I heard about it. The participants were all very impressed with Oklahoma City. I would like to congratulate Jeff and his staff for holding a wonderful symposium. Thank you very much.

1:02:48 – 1:06:44Speaker 2

Thank you very much. That's all the comments from the議員. Now we will move on to the 13th citizen's opinion. Catherine Mosey. If you make a statement, please say your name and address in less than 3 minutes. The office will notify you in the remaining 30 minutes. Good morning, members of the Holt City Council, members of the 7th Pennington Council, and participants. My name is Catherine Moussa. I'm here to talk about the sewage issue in the neighborhood. I will read the draft of the draft that I submitted to each agency in Oklahoma City. On April 8, 2022, I sent a letter to the Director General of the Public Business Bureau and Mr. Komonhosa. I am an owner of a house in Cashwood, Oklahoma City. There is a sewage problem in my neighborhood. It is necessary to provide a high-class solution to drain water from this place without harming the owner with a method such as the recent proposed waterway. However, on February 16, 2022, The senior engineer of the Oklahoma City Public Business Department said that the water flowing to the target location is not 6 acres, which is the standard, but 3 acres. Therefore, the target location was considered a personal problem that could not be justified as a public business project. I do not agree with this view as a housing owner. The drainage problem in this place should be treated as a public business project regardless of the number of acres applied in the main site and the tender documents. I was told to make a statement based on facts, not emotions, so I created four tender documents that refer to the sewage policy. Therefore, I referred to the sewage policy. I referred to the timeline from 2000 to 2022. I also provided photos. I'm sorry. We also provided a draft. 30 seconds left. We provided an explanation document with a draft that shows the drainage situation of the target area. This is an opinion on the Gold Bond 2025 submitted on January 15, 2024. According to the Oklahoma City Public Business Bureau and the Oklahoma City Department of Commerce, this letter was sent by mail.

1:06:44 – 1:06:55Speaker 3

Ms. Mousa, three minutes have passed. Shall we take some time to ask the staff for detailed details in the corridor? Is that okay?

1:06:55 – 1:07:07Speaker 2

I understand. That's right. If you let me talk a little bit more, I'll be done in 30 seconds. All right. Please continue. Can I do that? Please.

1:07:07Speaker 3

Thank you. Thank you.

1:07:08 – 1:07:53Speaker 2

This information has been submitted by mail, and it is written in the document. There is also a copy of the application form. The letter is about the sewage problem in my neighborhood. This action is because a thin sewage pipe is not installed. I followed up on the answer to the letter. This follow-up comment is to emphasize the importance of the Oklahoma City Council treating the sewage problem in the city as a priority issue. Thank you very much.

1:08:11 – 1:08:35Speaker 3

I remember discussing this issue with you before. I think it's wonderful to continue to follow up with Mr. Debbie Miller and the public administration. There are many projects such as Go Bond, Kousai, and Niwa Oak, but none of them are as important as the problems in my neighborhood. I understand that very well, so I look forward to another opportunity to consider what can be done with the public administration. This is Lopez Johnson.

1:08:38 – 1:10:31Speaker 2

Good morning, everyone. Good morning. First of all, I would like to thank you for your efforts every day. As a citizen of Oklahoma, I am really grateful. I am from Stillwater, Oklahoma. When I was a child, I was active and involved in the region. I used to play a lot at school and the park. I took care of my two children through a parent-child support program. They are already adults. However, there are still two children at home. One of the problems facing parents is that children cannot do what they want to do in the region. In their case, it was soccer. For this reason, I have been asking Johnny F. Kennedy Park to set up a soccer goal for a long time. I contacted the park recreation center and made an email conversation, but all they did was introduce other places for children to play. For example, Douglas High School was recommended, but at that time there was no goal net and it was not suitable. In the end, a goal was set, but what I wanted was an environment where I could play with children in the same area with the same interests, and that was not realized. That's why I came here today. If you set up a soccer goal at Johnny F. Kennedy Park, I would like you to know that it is really helpful. The American team played a great role in this year's Olympics. If local children can use these opportunities more easily, I think we can get even better results. It should be a lot of help for parents. I heard you talking about suicide. I think it will be a chance for community people to look more at the region. Now, in order to do interesting activities, we have to go out by car to the outskirts of the region. Therefore, it will be a really big help. Thank you for your activities. Thank you very much.

1:10:37Speaker 3

I will contact you again. The contact information you have received is in the office. Yes. I understand. I will contact you again.

1:10:45Speaker 1

Thank you very much. This is Lessee and Kirkindale.

1:10:56 – 1:13:01Speaker 2

Good morning, everyone in the Horto City Council. I haven't prepared anything to talk about today. I just wanted to talk to Senator Pennington. Thank you for the meeting two weeks ago. Last week, I sent a follow-up email to the 7th district and Oran Cook, but the answer to the question has not yet been received. We really need an answer to the question, so can you check directly with Oran? Finally, I would like to talk about the operation of Horto City Hall's social media. I noticed that comments and opinions from many residents were deleted or hidden. Since the mayor is using his own SNS as a political window, it is not a problem that is related to the freedom of speech of the residents. This is especially the case for residents who cannot attend the meeting on each Tuesday. If you don't want to see a bad opinion of the mayor, why don't you close the comment section? If the mayor himself is a place for SNS to form a public opinion, it is even more so. I think it's just a trick. As above, there are no major concerns or problems so far. I have already spoken with the Pennington議員 for most of the cases, but this week I would like to thank you for staying on the spot to listen to the opinions of the mayor of Holt. Well, it doesn't look good, but it's much better than before just because the mayor is here. So I'll leave the rest of the time to you. Thank you. This is Jared Freeman.

1:13:12 – 1:15:39Speaker 3

Good morning, everyone in the parliament. I live in Park Wood Lane 6705. Regarding the contract with A and Flock, this is the fourth time I have been in this area. The last three times were the answer to the request for information disclosure of the official letterhead, the same place of the contract, and the playbook that was heard so much that I could hear other things. and the OCPD, the police station itself. This time, I've changed my mind a little bit. Two weeks ago, Congressman Carter posted on Facebook that he would correct his own vote, but unfortunately, there was a sudden and intense reaction. Your response was to block access to the comment section. That's enough. A few months ago, when I asked for an interview about this contract, you just repeated the same mistakes and exaggerations provided by the Flock company to the police. These mistakes did not even exist until June this year. A.B.A.R.S.議員は、重大犯罪の解決におけるフロック社の役割を挙げましたが、OCPD自身はその役割を記録していないと述べています。そしてストーン議員は、私たちが携帯電話を持っているかどうかを問うことで、自身の投票を正当化しました。私は自分の意思で電話を購入しましたが、車のナンバープレートは州が強制するものであり、彼らは私たちが運転するあらゆる場所にカメラを設置しています。義務化されているものに同意することはできませんし、警察が私の電話を捜索するには例状が必要です。 しかし彼らは私がどこを運転したかというフロック社の記録を検索するのに、事件番号すら必要としません。 この遠大に立った住民は全員、この契約に反対してきました。 例外なく全員です。 それなのに、あなた方は反対に投票しました。 では、私たち以外に誰の声を聞いているのですか? 私たちが参加できないどんな会議に出ているのですか? 自分たちの選挙区民が万丈一致で間違っていると、誰があなた方を説得しているのですか? 忘れないでください。 You are not working for Flock. You are not working for the police station. You are not working for the federal organization. You are working for us who voted. You voted. And the reaction is recorded. Some elections have already begun the movement of the food and drink bill. You should know. The election public is on the topic. However, there is a way to avoid this. I'm not going to post it on Facebook again. I'm not going to write a letter to defend the vote. All I have to do is cancel the contract. Please pay the fine. It should be much cheaper than $270,000. Please show us that you have the courage to admit your mistakes. Otherwise, we will continue to come here. Regarding the comments of the Hingle議員 earlier, it is completely unforgivable that there are people who intimidate the議員. I myself feel that it is impossible for someone to intimidate you. Ladies and gentlemen,

1:15:46 – 1:19:23Speaker 1

Thank you for your activities, but please listen to the voices of the residents. No one is saying that they agree with this policy. Everyone is saying the opposite. If the supporters don't come here like the opponents, our voices may not have reached you at all. Thank you for your time. Thank you. Good morning. I'm Alisa Standridge. I live in 6208 North West 36th Street, Organizing OI. First of all, we will not allow violence and murder warnings. That's all. As an example, in most cases, the FOP police and the U.I. group are silent because they know the legal means. The general public does not know. We have been coming here for a long time to hear the voices of the citizens. However, the mayor is prioritizing SNS over the needs of the people in front of him. This is a problem that has been going on for a long time. As other speakers pointed out today, if you If you are using it in your own election or in a public position, it is a public record and you do not have the right to delete it. That's all. We have the right to see your activities. And the citizens have the obligation to make sure that everyone is listening to their voices. It is clear that Oklahoma City is being sold. For high-tech importers and those who are in trouble, And what is clear is that the citizens are a good piece of your convenience. For political performance, you say that this parliament is a super-rightist party, but you are cutting us down with a rightist vote. Is that right? There should be a duty to all residents and visitors here. Our duty to all of us is that it is your job, and it is your job to listen. I always say that there are only 30 applicants, but what about more than 2,000 signatures submitted to this meeting by ACLU Oklahoma during the meeting? Aren't they in the number? As far as we can see, no opinion is respected unless the executive council meeting office or local lawyers are behind it. This is unforgivable. You are setting up homeless people like livestock. If you don't have money for the remaining 30 seconds, no one will be able to recognize you. But they are using all the money they have in this city. There is no $1 left. It may not be a large amount, but they are using the full amount. For 100% of the money I got for this city, Still, it's not enough for everyone. You should be ashamed. Thank you very much.

1:19:23Speaker 3

Thank you very much. This concludes the opinion of the citizens. Next, the 14th meeting will be closed. That's all for the meeting.
