[snorts] So, we have some fence replacements that we're going to be doing associated with park master plan and you want to discuss these items. Um, it's broken into two parts. We have purchase materials and we have the quotes for installation.

Yes. So, the item approves quotes to replace roughly 5900 ft of deteriorated fencing at Adams Park. The current fence is no longer safe or functional and [snorts] the replacement will improve safety, reduce maintenance and it aligns with the Adams Park master plan. So this is a picture of the fencing um materials from Prep is the company and so we're buying materials from Pre and the cost is $25,780.36 and then construction and installation from [snorts] Apex Fencing $98,56340. So this this picture is actually from [snorts] Mustang. They're they're using it recently installed. [snorts]

No, I'll make a motion to approve project number 26-08. Um, do we need to line item out all those things or just the project [snorts] number? I would say go ahead and award material to preer for 25,000 780.3 and and the construction installation to Apex Fencing for 98,56340.

So, this establishes a formal fee schedule for our youth wreck facilities, which is namely Ashbrook Complex for baseball and then the batting cages at Joe Riley. Um, as participation has grown in recent years, maintenance and operating costs have increased. The fee schedules create consistency, helps offset those costs, and supports long-term upkeep. We will offer discounted rates to El Reno based leagues, and then it'll be available for outside leagues as well, but at a higher fee cost. Do you have an expected amount that profit?

Not that I'm aware of. I know that um a lot of outside entities love to rent it and we want to make sure that you know if they want to use our facilities, they're going to keep their business here. Absolutely.

Just wondering if there has been any discussion of what kind of profit there would be and improvements that would Absolutely. I think this being our first year will be [snorts] see how it does and then fees need to be adjusted in the future. etc. We might want to make sure that things are cost but also that we want to make available to restor also throughout their the budget amendment that's in packet that we just approved over there.

Anyone? Mr. Farley? You know, I've been here I don't know how many times and I'm really disgusted with the council. They don't take care of our city. All they know how to do is tear down a building. Tear this building down. We got a beautiful bro brick wall standing up there with poles holding it. We tear the town down. And I don't want to say they don't need to be tore down, but we're not taking care of our We're not beautifying our city one bit. I've been on this far plug deal for two years. I've been promised and promised and promised. You paint in my area. I don't where you thought that shutting me up or not, but it won't. Might go down at the high school, let across the street, you see the fire plug, four, five different colors. Are we ever going to do anything about it? Give me some answers and live with them. That's all I'm asking. Give me some answers. What you going to do? Nobody going to give me an answer. Other words, forget it. We won't take care of it. Is that what you're saying? That is that my answer? I'm not We're not going to take care of the fire plugs. We're not going to take care. You have taken care of the parks and the

cemetery that look great, but the rest of town you're letting go down. What are we going to do? People, y'all are our leaders. When are you going to start leading us in the right direction? That's all I've got to say. I ain't going to talk no more. Any other comments? Okay, moving on to discussion items. Item 16A to conduct a public hearing uh to reszone from combined residential district R2 to planned unit development PUD for the property described as a track of land a part of the northwest quarter of section 8 township 12 range 7 west of the Indian Indian meridian Canadian county Oklahoma. I now declare the public hearing open.

The applicant [clears throat] first brought forth this application in November recommending a reszone to industrial. Um staff and planning commission weren't necessarily concerned about their use um but the future implications industrial could have. So with the recommend recommendation of planning [snorts] commission, they um tabled the item and brought back a PUD and um staff and the planning commission feel comfortable that it addressed all of our um concerns for the long-term use. They just planned to use the existing building on the site. Um planning commission recommended unanimous approval with the conditions proposed by staff. Um and we spoke with applicant and they were agreeable too. The only um note I'll make is on the landscaping after discussing with applicant and seeing the site. I think landscaping is kind of will be maybe more of a discretionary thing. Um maybe for future use, but for what they're doing, there's kind of the creek there that it really doesn't make a lot of sense to add um the landscaping at this time in our opinion. um outside of the zoning, they will have to secure um access through I think Canadian County that they'll have to get an easement there and it'll have to be built to our standards um for fire and they'll have to pull a driveway permit. But out beyond um other than that, that's we don't see any issues. Okay. We didn't have any um complaints from

And you said and it did pass planning commission unanimously. Yeah. with um our conditions that are listed on the second page under the bullet points. Okay. Terry, would you like to say anything or Okay. Or or send please come up to the rep tell tell us who you are and stuff. I am Victoria Finnegan at 1212 Crimson Creek Circle, Elino, Oklahoma. I'm the engineer here on behalf of the applicant and I'm here to answer any questions if you have any

questions. The road easement you've talked to Canadian County or to to work that out and everything. Yes. And it's for your plans goes north I assume north to Foreman.

Yes, it does. And our closing on this property is contingent on the county granting us that easement. See? Okay. Any other questions? Any other comments? Okay. I declare the public hearing closed. Thank you. Brings us to 16B. discussion, consideration, action, and/or possible amendments to approve ordinance number 9396, an ordinance to reszone combined residential district R2 to planned unit development PUD for property described as track of land part of the northwest quarter section 8 township 12, range 7, west of Eny and Meridian, Canadian County, Oklahoma. Any discussion? No. I'll make a motion to approve um zoning ordinance number 9396 and however specific we need to say all that with a with the exceptions as outlined by municipal planning commission. Does that does that suffice? contingent contingent upon all the two listed, right? Like do we have to admit omit the landscaping in the motion?

Yep.

However, we need to say it. to list to list to list them more specifically. So to approve zoning ordinance number 9396 um omitting the landscaping uh requirements um

honestly I think that existing structures at least I mean sorry building

additional structures.

What she said, [laughter] get all that written down, right? It's it's it's these.

So, let's start over. Move to approve zoning ordinance number 9396. With these um no additional structures may be con constructed. Warehouse uses limited to indoor storage of construction materials. Inventory office space. No outdoor storage permitted. Existing structures are exempt from R2 setbacks. Future modifications must comply with district standards. And a second. We have a motion and a second. Roll call start with Councilman Schaefer. Yes, I will approve that. Vice Mayor Black. Yes. Councilman Brothers. Yes.

Yes.

Yes. Motion passes. Um item 17 A and B has been um hasn't cleared planning commission. So there's no reason for the council to take action on on those. So brings us to item 18. Uh discussion, consideration, action, and/or possible amendments regarding resolution number 26-041, a resolution by the city council of Elin, Oklahoma, affirming and finding a dilapidated structure 110 North Bickford authorizing the measures necessary to demolish or remove such structures and authorize bringing any actions district court necessary to abate public nuisance, allowing mayor to sign documents associated to

[snorts] Hi, sorry, my name is Yen and um I got some updated as of last time we talked about like repairing that loose stone. So, I got a repair this last week. There's a picture of the loose stone that we talked about the last time.

So, um this was the repair that done. They cut off the metal plate that's right in front of it. They reset it and they put some I don't know what you call it but maybe I'll call it motor but I don't know what they call it but they put it in between here and there [snorts] as well and they also secure all these brick they tuck points all these bricks uh right on open as well after and then there's a picture of them that's working on it while they're you know they're doing that. So I did that and this is the receipts uh that was done for that fund. Um and I also went ahead and uh asked to remove the uh the boarded uh glass because it was already repaired the last time but it was just wasn't removed. So it's now removed as well. So here's an updated picture of the glass that was removed. And then I also did a little bit extra just because I feel like it's probably needed uh because on the engineer report that it may I mentioned about the mining foundation there that's due to like soil that's kind of blocking the exit of the water uh by the gutter there. So there's a gutter that's going down south uh down to [clears throat] the side of the building and so there's a lot of soil that's compact right there over the years and so it's kind of block the water from exiting the the area. Um so then it caused like brick and kind of falling out from there. So we uh clean out all those soil from there. And here's a picture of the work that was done. Everything was cleaned out. The whole alley was all emptied out. And so now this water can just go straight to the CD street. That's what I have done so far. Um just [snorts] to recap of what was the what was the vi the violation. These are the

picture of the violation and I have addressed like a lot of them basically most of them on here. So, um, my request was to try to see if I can get removed from the demolition list. If there's anything else that I needed to do for like public safety, I'll be happy to address that if that's needed to be done. I request if we can have like a a short list or something like that or not short, but you know, public safety list for me to kind of focus on so that I can address that. And then also if I can get moved to um with the zoning um to be meeting with the zoning uh what I try to say is the zoning slash um planning committee if I have to address any of the repairs here. Um I feel like it's probably be better for all of us uh here as well. Um, but I think as far as I have, that's all I got there. Do you have any questions?

Any questions? Anybody have any questions?

From the January 13th memo and the August 18th list of violations, all of those we're working on a list that are the top [snorts] I will say taking off the list is not something I would put my at this point until I think we talked about maybe I think she's concerned about support for grants but um just it being on a I think we can work with her on a letter you know um without taking it off the list would you be comfortable sent it back to planning commission to oversee it each month.

I don't think this case really is a planning commission matter. I think we would feel whatever code enforcement code enforcement. I'm sorry. I don't know [snorts] if we need monthly. I think if council set a time frame they're comfortable, maybe we have some milestones and maybe she checks in, you know, every other month or every three months or something. I mean, she is

working towards it and some of it she's at the timeline of grant responses. So, I don't I don't know if you necessarily need to see her every month, but she has been communicating quite regularly with me. So, and then maybe once it gets a little closer, we can for back to council.

I am a little concerned because at the last council meeting you Mr. Councilman Black had asked you why this hadn't been done, you know, for a while and you said we're in a better financial place and then it looks like at the end of January you said, "Well, I'm depending on grants and I see you have spent some personal money, but is there more money to keep working or is work going to stop until grants?"

So there so there's money that would be able to stabilize and do public safety. Uh so I can take care of that. I have no problem with that. Um, the reason I want to wait on the grants because there are some grants that would be able to help me to move to the next step because during the last meeting I talked about the goal where I wanted it to be. So with some fund that I'm having, I'm not going to be able to get to where I wanted it to be. So with the grants that helping me, my own money, my own private money would be able to cover the gaps that the grants is not able to cover. So, that's what I'm trying to plan out to get things done uh and get more uh done with the building.

What's the plan be if the grants don't pan out?

Uh there is I have uh loans that I work with Toronto at Great Plains Bank. So, that's an option as well. And then I have like uh uh investors as well. The only thing right now that's kind of tricky is um the see that it's on a demolition So, they're not as willing to put in their money because they're like, well, I don't know if it's going to demolish tomorrow and I'm not going to put my money in just because it might be a chance that it's going to be demolished tomorrow. And so, that's the reason why I'm like, well, can we get this somehow get off the demolish list or something like that that way? It hasn't council hasn't voted for it to be demolished. It's still your opportunity to get out of demolition status and so I think that's how we convert a letteration doesn't always result in demolition mostly often

yeah I think it would be helpful if I have like a list of things that I needed to do to get it out of the condemnation right is that right building as a courtesy to kind of point out some of those things your contractor wasn't able to meet us with you that day but I mean that was I mean, you got those reports, right? Okay. So, as far as like We appreciate you making a lot of progress. I think everybody here and everybody in the community does. It's a beautiful old historic building, right? Yes. So, that's the reason why I want to I really want to make it going. Well, we applaud your efforts so [clears throat] far. Don't don't slow down. Keep working.

I think procedurally my recommendation would be to have her come back to this body in a certain amount of time, whether it's 30, 60, or 90 days, because she did file the appeal of the demolition order. And so Emily can then respond to a letter and say the demolition order is not final. She's still in the condemnation appeal process, but you all can give her however much time you want to check on the status report. 90 days is my thought. Agree. Okay. So, I'll make I'll make the motion that this [clears throat] be reset on council agenda in approximately 90 days, however that falls. And um we will look at how things are going, but keep keep working.

Motion made and seconded. Did you get the motion? Uh roll call starting with Councilwoman Nether. Yes. Counciloman Brothers. Yes. Yes. Denton. Yes. Motion passes. Brings us to uh item 19A. Presentation given by Shya Rapos Route 66 roundt group regarding project Buffalo Wall.

Good evening. My name is Christine and this is Daniel Tallber and this is Andrew Stone. We at the Shanrapo tribe, we have our uh route 66 roundt group and we have been discussing uh different projects that we'd like to see [snorts] happen. In doing so, we've uh formed a partnership with Mr. Sandage and also the Elino Route 66 group. So, we wanted to give a short presentation on an ideal that we would like to apply for funding for which is coming up here on the 27th. We would like to possibly uh request a letter of support for this project. And I'd like to have uh Daniel say a little.

Yes. Um [clears throat] my name is Daniel [snorts] Tolbury. I'm the director of planning and development for the Shine and Arapjo tribe. Christine's been working on this project for and a half years now with the Centennial coming 2026, Route 66. She's really put a lot of efforts into, you know, just really honing in on a project and finding something that'll really just be collaborative between the city of El Reno and the Shine and the Arapjo tribes, you know, just to kind of showcase both of us and uh working together to get something, you know, just just something that will um celebrate the the 66, you know, just how we work together, our partnership that we have. Uh I'm I'm really excited for what Andrew is going to show you. Uh Matt's we work closely with him on this and uh you know, we're thankful for that. But yeah, um just a letter of support for the grant funding. Uh it's due February 27th. So I'll give it over to Andrew right now.

Great. Appreciate it.

Yeah. Um got to get some of those tourists going from east west and get them more north south, too. Um but yeah. Yeah. My name is Andrew Stone. Um, I've been I've been friends with Daniel actually for a long time. I'm a fellow western Oklahoma. Um, I'm um architecture designer as well as an educator. Um, I worked in um as a young architect in Oklahoma City for a long time. Um, and now I'm also work at the University of Oklahoma. So, I run a I run a small architecture practice out of Clinton, Oklahoma or growing architecture practice really um out in Clinton in Oklahoma City. And um I'm also an educator like I said at University of Oklahoma where I teach um architecture courses in the department but I also work for the Institute for Quality Communities um that really focus on supporting small communities through research and and graduate student support. So that that's really been an honor to serve there. So um you know um I' I've worked on a number of Route 66 projects now. I mean, if you had asked me three years ago, it would have been more sock hops and burgers, but now I've really realized how important it is to our regional narrative, for sure. Um, you know, staring down how tourism really translates to economic development has definitely been um a priority of mine. Um, but maybe most importantly, you know, selling staring down celebration, but more importantly, revitalization. Um, and I've had a few projects now um get grants that are under construction. That'd be the Hub City Gateway out in Clinton, Oklahoma. um and hydrobridge monument. So these are all repurposed artifacts that are meant to um stimulate you know economic development but also visitor engagement but bridge that with local quality of life. So this is really just continuing that more than anything and and really I think it's focused on not only se celebration but um maybe celebration past just the centennial. So so what we have here is um Wallow 66. And I also want to say I'm very inspired by El Reno's um master planning with Adams

Park and and and the work you've done with the mobility hub and of course the service station. I'm doing the the project out for canoe too. They had gotten the grant and um you know we're we're working out there on an activity center, a community hub, you know, it also um features, you know, Route 66 Heritage, the Heidih High Diner out there. So So just Elena's a poster child, I'd have to say. So like I said over the past year um the Route 66 committee our roundt has really been working diligently to study a wide range of proposal um areas design and community priorities along the mother road. You know China expands all across the mother road across this region. So so we've looked at conceptual explorations to detailed site considerations and the process has been one of balancing heritage function and civic identity. So the wallow canopy really emerges as a as a as a synthesis um of that work. You know, it's a project that really embodies our committee's um collective vision for how Route 66 revitalization can both honor history and serve a living community. Um you know, so um we were really inspired by, you know, kind of artifacts of the prairie um you know, and what the buffalo really means to to to the to this part of the country, particularly in the Canadian River Valley. Um, so here it is. You know, the wallow canopy really is a sculptural shade um structure proposed in Adams Park um in El [clears throat] Reno. Now, this this thing can kind of float around, but we really nailed down in um Adams Park right along Route 66 where really this um lineage of highway can really unfold into its origins of originally Buffalo Trails and how that grew into kind of modern road culture. So, it's more than just a functional shelter. You know, the canopy is conceived as a civic and cultural landmark really meant to provide a gateway in and out of El Reno. Um, it's rooted in Cheyenne Arapjo heritage and shaped by layered a layered history of planes that tie directly back

to the great highway of travel and commerce that is Route 66. So, the canopy really draws its inspiration um from this buffalo wallow um this shallow shallow circular depression that the bison make by rolling in the earth. That was something we discovered kind of as an interesting artifact early on when when we were going out on bison rides out um at Concho there. Um so so it kind of shapes the ground basically into a disshaped is what is what the buffalo does. You might have seen wallows. Um but instead of shaping the ground the canopy really lifts up into the sky and it really carves carves um kind of these circular cutouts into the roof as like sunlight that kind of filters through and kind of creates these moving patterns. So the buff buffalo wallow has really always been kind of um more than just an ecological trace. You know for generations this has been an artifact that's really carried multiple lives. You know people used them as burial sites. They used them as hiding spaces um places of safety and gardens um all across the prairie. So I was really inspired by the writing of Josiah Greg that would talk about buffalo wallows all spread around the plains particularly in this area. he'd crossed through Oklahoma as kind of a merchant. And so, um, it's really a wonderful symbol that's universal that really, uh, um, symbolizes kind of nomadic tribes and plains Indians. So, um, the circle is really anchors the design. Um, it's both a universal form and a symbolic marker of that nomadic culture here in the western plains. It's it's it's rooted in kind of a this universal nomadic form of heritage. Um, so it really reference references the cultural memory of Plains Indians in this area, but it's also a gathering spot today. Um, so like I said, there there it is right there. That's what that's what a wallow disc kind of looks like. Um, you'll still see them today out there. Um, but like I said, it's a it's a

canopy concept positioned right there at Route 66. Um, one thing that we did was we kind of tied I was inspired by um going to um the museum here uh um the Canadian County Museum, I believe. Yeah. And and it really talked about um this kind of heritage of Route 66 coming from Buffalo Trails that Buffalo Trails um ended up being kind of hunting routes and then military wagon trails and then um and wallow scattered all along there and then eventually um highways Route 66. So really, this is kind of an intertwining of all those heritage paths that really culminate at this gathering space and it really fit into there's the there's the museum clippings right there. Um, man, you guys got a great museum and a great historian in there for sure. So there's the intertwining paths there that lead up to the stage. There's your kind of discs that float around through the day. Um, you know, it's really meant to be a learning trail. It's really meant to be um a learning trail to kind of inform visitors about the bison um you know and and telling that heritage really expanding Route 66 to broader regional narratives of our area more importantly and it really fit right into Adams Park here. You know this is conceptual um you know we're just now staring this down but it was um when when we had showed this to Matt we kind of had a different site and he said hey what about this little corner over here? Um, this is just on the on the on the south side of the road here, just opposite of the 40 foot bison. So, it's kind of actually a proportional to the bison in terms of the wallow. And it really worked with kind of um what we kind of saw existing here. Here's kind of here's kind of an overlay of our proposal with the the Adams Park community gardens and the orchard there. So, it's meant to really just kind of stitch right in. That's what gave [snorts] it kind of its curving form. So, so right here just to the bottom of the screen, that's really the gateway part that really announces

it with with its kind of sister project there, the big 40 foot buffalo. It's a gateway, but then it's also really a public shelter. So, we really feel like it really brings in the visitor, welcomes the visitor or greets or farewell to the visitor, but then also is very important to kind of local quality of life and and so it can host all kinds of events. There you see kind of the stage area and the picnic areas all kind of woven into this curated um garden here. Um there there it kind of is at night. You know, you can't go you can't do Route 66 without without night. So it's really just meant to symbolize, you know, migration patterns, um nomadic tribes, our our wagon trails and ruts and cattle trails all the way up to Route 66. So, so the wallow canopy really is meant to bridge the past and the present. Um, heritage and highway, ecology and economy. Um, it's a civic amenity and a cultural marker. And it's really just an architectural lens through through which the community can gather u reflect and make visible the deep history of movement, exchange, and renewal across these plains. You know, um, you know, a lot of this was inspired by a book, Commerce of the Prairies. Um so so so we're really just kind of you know reimagining you know the Route 66 experience for the next hundred years. Um you know so that's what I got. Appreciate it. And any questions or anything? Like I said this a conceptual design. I mean we worked really hard on it. We've looked at all types of designs in all types of places and really felt like this one resonated the most. Any questions? We really appreciate you guys and we can tell you've really put a lot of work into that.

We've got several um buffalo wallows on property that we have. Yeah. And um I mean they're you get to looking around they're they're they're scattered all across the plains. That's right. And I mean when they when you when um you know after a rain when it fill up with water and you could see them all glistening across there. I mean really it's uh it's kind of it's powerful. Wonder what it was like back then. Uh but like I said, this is, you know, this is really meant to be a maybe even a catalyst to to Adams Park, you know, um really directing some of those state resources to uh your great master plan for sure and really being an amenity space for the community, but also important to get that visitor engagement. So, if no more questions, all right, thank you. Appreciate it.

Thank you. Thank you. So, as Andrew and Christine mentioned, we had talked previously about the incorporation of this project into Adam Park and how it relates to or is in harmony with the Adam Park master plan. And so, I think that what they're asking for today is a letter support some of the other details as far as exact location and how it ties in and where you know where it goes. I think on the opposite side of where the iron bison is that that makes some sense butvious obviously wanting to make sure that it does tie into the plan, but I don't know that all the details have to be flushed out today, right? But as far as a letter of support is really what the question is today,

right? So that you can make application for the 66 commission funding.

The common area. Yeah. And I think that some of the other things that we've talked about is um the canopy area being used for other gathering, community gathering type activities, right? It could be a rest stop, but it could also be um a place of commerce or trade like a farmers market type.

Exactly. Really inspired by the public nature of the I mean, I was there, you know, during Friday night lights. You know, there was a ball game going on.

Move to authorize the city leaders to issue a letter of support. Motion made and seconded to issue a letter of support. Roll call starting with Councilwoman Ney. Yes. Counciloman. Yes. Yes. Yes. Mayor,

yes. Motion passes. Thank you. Brings us to item 20A. Presentation given by historic downtown El Reno's Foundation, El Reno Burger. [clears throat] Casey Tjo and I'm the current board president for the historic downtown Eleno Foundation or formerly known as Elno Main Street. Um a few weeks ago I sent Matt an email that um we're excited to begin the countdown for the 38th annual Burger Day Festival taking place on May 2nd um in the heart of historic downtown Elino. As we celebrate nearly four decades of this legendary event, we are more excited than ever being that it's on Route 66 for the centennial. Um, our festival has seen incredible growth with over 11,000 visitors attending last year's event um to witness the cooking of our 850 pound fried onion burger. Um, as we transition into a volunteer-led nonprofit model this year, our board has focused on building strong systems to ensure Burger Day remains a premier engine for economic development and community preservation in El Reno. Um I'm excited to share that our vendor applications are rolling in. Um we have our [snorts] website set up and we've had great engagement there. Um so for that to ensure that 2026 festival is our most successful and structured year yet, we would like to formally request uh the city of Reno's partnership through a financial contribution of $15,000 which is $5,000 more than last year. So last year the city contributed $10,000 financially and with that the city would be a platinum sponsor um which is our highest level. Um and in addition to that would be some inind support which I can walk through those but you all have a copy of each of those and those would be somewhat um there's a few things Matt

and I have already talked about some things we may not need that we had last year and things like that. So um that's our request. Any questions? Any questions? On your inind um for the police, you had them blocking off the traffic the area at Friday night, but you didn't say security during the event. So, yes, we would have them during the event and I believe that's included on our permit. Um I'm if it's not, we'll adjust that, but it should be included in our permit. I didn't see it on that either. That's why I was asking. I thought I know you had talked about maybe doing your own security but we do it better.

Yes, we include that Lindsay. [snorts] Okay, thank you. Lindsay will make the adjustment. Any other questions? Any other questions? Basey. Thank you. Thank you for presenting.

Brings us basically to item B, discussion, consideration, action, andor possible amendments regarding monetary support for historic downtown El Renal Foundation's Elren Burger. I'm just g I'll make a few comments. Um Casey, I appreciate you coming and presenting and talking about Burger Day. As you said, it is a historic event. Almost 40 years in El Reno. Last year's event was, I think, one of the best ever. And this year being 100y year anniversary on 66, it needs to be as great as we can make it for the community. Hopefully the weather is just like it was last year, not like it was two years ago with with raining and and all of that. Um but uh it's just an important thing for our city to um this a whole event and stuff and we appreciate your hard work and volunteers and and um it takes the whole community working together to really put this event on and pull it off. Any other discussion, questions or comments about the organization itself? [clears throat] I think there were some questions on the legal entity itself. Those questions have been answered.

Essentially, we're staying under the main street umbrella. So, we're still under their umbrella. We've never lost insurance. Our insurance is transferred and we are able to secure insurance right now. So, once it gets we'll secure that. And I know talking to Ricardo at El Reno Tires, he has two of your stone monuments that he was wanting to sell back maybe to the city or or or um or Main Street or somebody. I said, "Well, I think the city or the Main Street already owns them, so I would just recommend you letting them move them out of your yard and not not try to sell them sell them back of something they already own. So

is it um la last year was 10,000 like you mentioned this year 15 and and a condensed time frame right it's going to be less hours of operations so why the increase is it just everything

just to help offset okay we discussed the reduction in hours with the police and some vendors and it's feels better for all parties for those hours to be reduced just by what are your hours you're looking at 10 to three yeah 10 to six last year it it dwindles down after that late afternoon especially if it's warm and Tim was able to data and it shows a pretty sharp drop also

[snorts] [clears throat]

Maybe we should go longer. [laughter] Work the morning shift. make a motion to provide the burger day event with 15. I'll second made a second to [cough] excuse me. [clears throat] Um provide $15,000 monetary support for historic downtown El Reno for El Reynold's burger day event. Roll call starting with Dr. Schaefer. Yes. Vice Mayor Black. Yes.

Counciloman Brothers. I'll abstain. Council Nying. Yes. Yes. Motion passes. We look forward to a great event. Yep. Thank you.

Thank you. Thanks for work. It's a lot of work. I really appreciate it. Um brings us item 21 discussion consideration action andor possible amendments to approve ordinance number 9398 an ordinance amending chapter 275 section 19 of the code of ordinances of Oklahoma amending regarding transporting open containers of alcoholic beverages low point beer or marijuana amending and repealing conflicting sections providing for severability and declaring an emergency. Chief Brown append November 1st 20 of this year 2025 Oklahoma state statute title 21 [clears throat] section uh 1220 A2 goes on down the line most commonly referred to as is a TLC statute uh meaning transporting an open container whether that be a beer alcohol wine or spirits uh statute changed now that it encompasses the same thing for medical or for marijuana period. Uh prior to that there was no provisions for a violation for transporting an open container of of marijuana or smoking marijuana riding down the road what have you. Um so with the statute uh changed uh we went and asking that we adopt the same language to our municipal ordinance our TLC ordinance so we're able to prosecute it in the municipal court instead of separating the cases uh and the DA has a real issue we have a we have a traffic stop that we would normally sight and release on but we have a TLC um that way we're not dividing part of it municipal court part of district report and it just makes makes the case go a lot smoother.

Questions? Make a motion to approve ordinance number 9398 and to declare amendment to 27 um and to declare the amendment to 27 275-9B as an emergency. You have to make Okay. All right. So the first one motion made and second to approve ordinance 9398. Roll call starting with Councilwoman Ney. Yes. Brothers. Yes. Yes. Mayor Jensen. Yes. I'll make a motion to declare [laughter] me. Second. Much made second to declare 9398 an emergency. Roll call. Start with Dr. Schaefer. Yes. Vice Mayor. Yes. Counciloman Brother.

Yes. Council. Yes. Yes. [clears throat]

Oh, okay. I was going to say this looks like the same thing, but it's a different number. Discussion, consideration, action, and or possible amendments to approve resolution number 26-046, resolution of amending fees for chapter 275, section 19 of the code, ordinances, Elen, Oklahoma. Amendment regarding uh TOC of alcoholic beverages, low point beer, or marijuana. This is associated with fees decided [snorts] to any discussion.

No. Motion made and second. Roll call starting. Councilwoman Nether. Yes. Counciloman Brothers. Yes. Counc. Yes. Yes. Mayor Jens.

Yes. Motion passes. Item 23 discussion, consideration, action, and or possible amendments regarding ordinance 9399, an ordinance for amending the code of ordinances, Oklahoma, adding section to code chapter 142, establishing a preconstruction safety review process for remodeling work. Providing for scope of work submission, limited uh consentbased walkthroughs, limitations of walkthroughs and written determinations, providing for fire marshall participation, providing for administrative appeal, providing for limitations of authority, providing severability and providing for repealer and declaring an emergency. What are we providing? [laughter]

Thank you. Um so development services has been struggling a lot with um unpermitted work being done. um trying to determine what the scope of a remodel is. And so um we work on this proposal with um our city attorney and spoke with the fire marshal and um we decided that establishing a pre-construction safety review is a good um option. So it would be a free walkth through. So you'd submit your limit, your scope of work and if we can't determine um from that if it needs a major or minor remodel, we would request a walk through. Um, we already kind of do that now and most people are open to it. It's we're catching more people just doing works. They'll either board up windows or tell us they're just painting. The inspectors catch that they've replplumbed the whole house or gutted it. So, this kind of is a protection from the beginning. Um last year out of 28 condemnations, 23 had electrical hazards and 12 had known plumbing ha um plumbing is issues and most of them were um unpermitted work. And so the earlier we get involved we feel is um obviously the better um because some people are just um doing a lot of unpremitted work and then remodeling. So the safety review would allow us to determine do you have your smoke detectors? Do you have um yeah, no leaking sinks, no backing up sewer and things like that. Um it would rem uh residential is really the main issue right now. Commercial, it's a lot more stringent anyway. Um fire marshall would be involved in the review if it's anything multifamily or commercial. Um but we would also recommend establishing a fee as a for a reduction if they participated in this program. And so if a permit is required, giving some type of discounted rate to kind of incentivize um that I will note I think for it's imperative to have it for any

condemned structure and so we do request that that's a requirement. Any condemned structure has to go through this process before it can obtain a certificate of occupancy. Okay. Any questions?

And as Emily mentioned, I mean this is sort of what's already happening in the condemnation process. Most of the property owners who [snorts] come to the administrative hearing are open to allowing building inspectors and code enforcement officers to do a walk through with them to see, you know, what all is actually necessary in a remodel permit. Most of the properties that go on the condemn list need a significant amount of work. And so um this also it is a preventative measure to protect life and safety but it's also codifying you know kind of what is already happening in the code enforcement process and uh international building code residential and existing building code. It outlines what requires a permit. So we're not change we're not expanding any of those requirements. It's just holding people to them. Um yeah so we're not anything. So, if it is truly cosmetic, um you're we're not going to force permits that are unneeded. So, that written determination would explain as to why it's major or minor minor remodel permits needed or if one's not needed. Um

this this is optional though, correct? This is not mandatory another who just meant to be a resource.

Yes. And if we're unable to determine um due to their scope of work submission, that would be in our findings. But also um I think how it reads in the ordinance is if a reasonable reasonable person determines or thinks that a permit would be needed at [snorts] that point, we would issue a stop work order is essentially what would happen in that in those situations. But yes, it's voluntary um and strongly encouraged and you would get a discount on your Is there a way to make that word a little bit more specific saying if a reasonable person that feels a little open-ended? I'm nervous that we're going to get into more overreach. Um, I don't feel we're really doing overreach now, but as the building official and the building inspectors, they I mean they have pretty good discretion as to I mean that would they would notify why they believe that. I mean, I don't know if Jana has a recommendation on the wording. That's typically how it reads in code is reasonable person. Um with with a lot of our working without permit that we've discovered, right, a lot of folks will say, "I didn't realize I needed a permit." This eliminates that excuse because we'll go walk through the house or property, whatever it is, for free.

Yeah. And let you know that proceed. We can probably create some type of checklist type thing that puts the category as to why they fill a check why a permit is needed. Um that would be fantastic. And I think the checklist can be done administratively. I don't think it's appropriate to put it in the ordinance. So that because if the checklist changes one check box then we would have to go back and amend the ordinance. So I think [clears throat]

um I think typically on like subsection H like she said if the city observes work that could cause a reasonable person to conclude the permit may be required that's the typical language that the building inspectors are trained [snorts] on right and they're looking for certain things when they are patrolling or when they're you know going to a property to see if if if work is permitted if there's a hole in the roof right and they're working on it. Those are things they know like you said on a checklist or what their training has has given them what a reasonable person means essentially. But yeah, we've I think in the notes we had we had already discussed doing the checklist.

Yeah. On page three in the memo, it kind of outlines on the next steps. um publishing clear public guidance, providing a transparent review checklist, track outcomes, report back to council if requested, and and we can review the ordinance after, you know, give it six months or a year, and if there's anything we feel is working or not working, we can um adjust as needed, but we can definitely put together a checklist so they might point out too that paragraph J does create an appeals process disagrees interpretation of reasonable is I think that's going to board of adjustment. Correct. Yes.

And a good rule of thumb if if it changes the structure, changes the system, whether it's mechanical, electrical, plumbing, or changes the use or exit, if it's none of those things, doesn't need a permit to ever really. And then if it's at least one of those things, it would. So that's just kind of a good rule of thumb. Since you all are already doing this, do you expect much strain on your department's capacity and responding to other inspection requests?

Um, I don't think so because it would help us tremendously to get it because we're spending a lot more time after the fact at these condemnations. I mean, we spend a lot of staff time on these condemnation properties and if we're able to get it from the beginning and then even if establishing that process, we might be able to in those code hearings say, "Hey, they went through this process." We recommend it's going to take them three months to get it into compliance. So, we because we know exactly what needs to be done. So, we would be able to kind of have a better gauge of reference of how long it would take them. So, I think overall it'll save us a lot of time in the long run. It could save property owners who are in the condemnation process money as well because there have been a handful of properties where they [clears throat] have [snorts] updated the electrical without notifying us and when they go to try to get the certificate of occupancy, it's flagged for one reason or another and they've got to pull all the sheetrock off and redo it because it wasn't done up to code. So that's part of the idea as well is to put get them out on on the front end of things. The whole reason why we do what we do is

safety. Public safety. Yeah.

Yes. Brings us to reports. Um, I want to thank, you know, a couple weeks ago, this week's been pretty warm, pretty mild temperatures, but a few weeks ago for going through the storm. U just thank all city staff for helping things run smoothly and everybody working hard from I mean every department that this city has from um police, fire, emergency management, and forgive me if I miss somebody, but airport, you know, shoveling off the runway. the north. You know what was hard to believe the east west roads had less drifting on the north south and I know going by the airport you know tremendous amount of snow on on our runways out there but uh you know streets and and um public works we had several water manes break in that time they were out in freezing sub-zero temperatures working on that to keep the services on for everybody and I just uh Chris and I talked quite a bit. Matt and I talked quite a bit going into it and and the city was, you know, city was ready and everything hand was, you know, smoothly and I understand, you know, some of the neighborhood streets, you know, heavy snow and it's hard to get around in automobiles and stuff, but uh some of that is a blessing that that you could shelter in place and and not be out because it was extremely cold. And but just I just want to say thank you to to everybody. Um um yesterday was an exciting day for Elin, Oklahoma with the groundbreaking of a new courthouse. I mean, it's a county project, but it's it's a historic um it's just historic for Canadian County, build a new courthouse, and I just appreciate county commissioners uh continuing to keep our courthouse in downtown El Reno. I think that's extremely important for community. We're the county seat of that and to have it right in the heart of town is is great. It's a there's a big crowd there

yesterday. It's going to be a beautiful building and and uh carry the county in the city and and into really into the future. I mean, it's state-of-the-art design, but um I want to follow up with what uh Ray had in the paper about the dry weather and drought. Um, I know we had some snow a few weeks ago, but um, really didn't add that much moisture to to things are extremely dry. I know ACOG put out a drought report that this has been the um, driest January in a hundred years. Um, and and a really extremely dry winter. Please be praying for the rain that's supposed to be coming this weekend that we hope it comes and and we'll address. But there's been several grass fires and fire departments. Um always ready to to you know face those. But um it's just you humidity's been low. Um if your hands aren't cracked open maybe you got better a lot better lotion than I used. But, uh, I just, you know, things are good. And just, uh, to see Ryder Watts, you know, that's just over and above to to to help, you know, a kid that he doesn't know and, you know, under a dog attack and and just put his put himself in danger just, you know, I just tip my hat, too. But thank you. Thank you to everybody. Council members,

I I wanted to say um just bring attention to the fact that having adopted the the Adams Park master plan and now see things happening, right? The fencing um maybe this the Buffalo Wallow project, that's beautiful that I mean it really is fantastic. I think they've done a great job and and we'll see where that all lands. But um to see things starting to happen, you drive around town. Um I I think there are many beautifification projects. Um despite what um others may perceive um uh things are coming down that are dilapidated and things are being built. Got the Brakes Plus breaking ground out there and um to see the courthouse breaking ground and it's just exciting to drive around town. you know, we've approved the grant money for the the transportation hub over here, and to to know that that project's going to be coming online um hopefully before too long. And as the the roundabout gets finished up out there, it's just it's exciting. You go around town, it looks nice. It's something to be proud of. Um like this young like this young man who's from Clinton. Um I I suppose that's at least where you're at. but to say that, man, Elno is is is setting a standard and that's been a long time since we've been able to say that and and it's it's exciting. It looks nice around town and you're starting to hear a lot more positive comments instead of negative ones about our community. That's a good thing.

To expand on Mayor Jensen's, I really appreciate the dedication and professionalism of our city employees. Often on Facebook and somebody's identifying a problem or complaining about something and they will comment at 10 at night and you know, at least I at two in the morning or whatever, but you know, they they will respond and say, "Hey, we're going to look at that tomorrow or I'll get somebody out there or, you know, I'll message about something and hey, we're we're on it." And there's not an 8 to5 job for them even when it's not snow and ice. They they take care of this city and I appreciate that.

I agree. And they you guys just don't get the credit that you that you deserve. I mean, and like like Chris, I mean, one of the things that we had in here is one of our projects. He was able to save us another $25,000 on it. I mean, Chris is wonderful at at saving us money on these projects. I mean, and they they don't get the credit that they deserve. I mean, we really respect every one of them.

Yep. We've got, you know, obviously our employees work very hard during the working hours, but we've had employees working very hard after hours on training. We've had a lot of training on certifications. Recently we've got four employees that recently received CDLs in street department. We have Porter recently obtained their phrase. We have Chris Smith working on his class A sewer lab which certainly sounds very complicated.

[clears throat] And then we have season mix who recently became a certified court. So a lot and a lot of these things are happening outside working hours that they're studying and putting time you know and on the job working extra hours to clear the streets and make sure things are operating and responding on a Sunday or Saturday or in the evening you know or Walmart talking to customers about or visitors of Walmart about projects that were happening. We get stopped everywhere right Chris but I think that Certainly the same sentiment that our staff we have great.

Okay. I think we have a slide for EMS uh data. We've got uh monthly EMS report calls for service. We have non-urgent call response time of 7 minutes 17 seconds. Urgent response time response times average 6 minutes. So our EMS program is very timely and doing a great job really helping us out. So those three trucks are busy. Okay. And over to Tim.

Unfortunately, it's another month of me not be getting great news. I just suck the life out of the room, I feel like sometimes. So, we got our sales tax numbers for the month of February. It is 1,25310, which again misses our budgeted target of $1,78,000. Um for the year we are down on monthly average of a little over 1% on our target over there. A little bit of bright side is on the use tax we did bring in $282,19823. This well exceeds our monthly budget of $215,000. Um when you combine the two, we are meeting our budget plan for the general fund. However, we are not meeting the budget plan for the capital improvement fund. So, we'll have those conversations more as we get closer as we continue to see the budget season right there. The hotel milale tax was also down. It was 27,353.98. However, we are still 8.1% above for the monthly average for the year right now. So, again, we're meeting just a little above our target over there. And I just want to make a little comment real quick of there's a lot of movement happening with the parks department too getting ready for the sports complex open in March literally three weeks. How many various departments from making it happen? My understanding is we've had some incredible enrollment numbers or sign up numbers for baseball doubling what they were last year and stuff. So the good news is people that play in Elno also shop and eat in Eleno. broadband. Oh, here's broadband. Okay.

Uh for broadband, we are at 715 active services. Um construction has started in Settler's Crossing, so they're they're moving along there. Um and then fiber installation is continuing up the east side of Rock Island. Um you know, all the way to the railroad tracks, and they're just going to continue to march downtown. So, we're moving along, turning up new areas. I'm I'm excited. I know you are. You guys are really close. [laughter] They've been on both sides of your house. I know. I know. But there's not to it yet, but both sides. I said, "Don't, you know, get everybody else hooked up." So, they're coming. It's almost ready. Thank you. Thank you. To adjourn to executive session.
