City Council - Regular Meeting

630. So we have a quorum, and I'll call to order the city council meeting scheduled for September 21, 2026. Would you call the roll, please? Oh, and did she just step out?

Here.

Here. Way to go.

Louie Williams. Here. Adam Webb. Here. Rob Clark. Here. Mark Hamm.

Here. Would you please stand for Pledge of Allegiance?

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Item two is the consent docket.

I make a motion to approve the consent docket, items A through E. Second.

We have had the motion and the second. Would you call the vote?

Kathy Griffith. Yes.

Yes.

Louis Williams. Yes. Adam Webb. Yes. Rob Clark. Yes. Mark Ham.

Yes. Consent docket passes. Item three is consider approval of a lot split located 825 Northwest 34th Street in Golden Acres Edition. This application is by Robert Raines.

Good evening. So this application is to split a property that currently consists of lot 14 and 15 in the Golden Age. This just split the lot into lots 14 and 15 as originally plotted. This is so that the applicant can put a residence on each lot. I'm happy to answer any questions.

Were both lots used for one business at one point in time?

So it's residential. And previously, there was one residence on the combined lot. And now that the applicant wants to put two residences up, they will need to split them because in R1, we don't allow multiple dwellings.

And that existing, the older residence was removed? It was removed, yes. All right. Thank you. Make a motion to approve. Second.

We've had a motion and a second. Would you call the vote?

Sid Porter. Yes. Louie Williams. Yes. Adam Webb. Yes. Rob Clark. Yes. Kathy Griffin. Yes. Mark Camp.

Yes. Item passes. Item four is consider acceptance of grant 1580. Point 503 from the Oklahoma Office of Homeland Security, an amount of $5,437 for the purchase and installation of an additional air conditioner unit for the emergency management evacuation rehabilitation trailer.

Good evening, Mayor and Council. As the item states, we are successful in obtaining a grant to do some upgrades on one of our trailers that we use for sheltering and all sorts of other things.

Good deal. Make a motion to approve. Second. Motion and second. You can call the vote.

Louie Williams. Yes. Adam Webb. Yes. Rob Clark. Yes. Kathy Griffin. Yes. Sid Porter. Yes. Mark Hamm.

Yes. Thank you. Thanks for looking for that stuff on these grants. Item five. Approve and authorize a 10-year service agreement with Axon Enterprise, Inc., to provide integrated technology solutions, equipment, software, and support for the Moore Police Department in the amount of $921,000 per year for the first five years and $1,182,363 for six years through 10 using Swartzwell contract number 101-223-AXN.

Mayor and Council, tonight we are requesting your approval for a public safety technology package that will greatly impact the police department and its operations in a positive way for years into the future. This proposal is a culmination of a significant amount of research, a significant amount of work and planning by staff and today we're wanting or asking to take approximately 14 different technology vendors that we work with, whether it's a 911 center, report writing, body cameras, et cetera, and essentially combine them into one system or one agreement that consolidates all those systems to one vendor and creates a fully integrated technology ecosystem. This goes beyond the police department, this technology, this operation tonight. The technology will directly benefit our fire department, our IT department, the parks department, other areas of the city. Both our IT director, our fire chief support this proposal and recognize the operational benefits it'll bring to their departments. While this was not a specifically budgeted item for this year, what I can assure mayor and council is that it will have zero fiscal impact on this year's budget. We've identified future funding sources. The city manager has been very engaged in this process as well and has helped us identify future funding support for this. But most importantly, for this year, it will have a zero impact on our current fiscal year budget any more than what we've already planned to expend on technology. One of the biggest parts of this is this agreement locks our technology pricing in for 10 years. The example I've given to others is in 2020, a fire truck cost us $500,000. In 2026, that fire truck now costs us a million dollars. Five years ago, we entered into a $40,000 a year taser contract. That taser contract is due and budgeted to be renewed this year at $112,000. And so when we look at the price increase over technology and public safety equipment is just out of control. immense and what this does for this 10-year time time period you'll see a cumulative increase of 1.5 percent five percent providing ongoing software and hardware improvements throughout the course of the ten years but also locks are pricing in fiscally and financially for planning and long-term investment into the city's technology this is a overall investment in public safety the efficiency the technology the infrastructure for our city and we believe that it puts more in a strong position to provide service and we would respectfully request your approval be happy to answer any questions

Do I also remember right that the maintenance and the refreshing or updates, you may call them, is all part of that package deal?

Absolutely, sir. So again, the pricing is locked, but what is guaranteed in the contract is that we will have what they call refreshes of the technology hardware and software throughout the duration of the 10 years, depending on the part of technology that we're talking about has different thresholds or benchmarks for when that refresh occurs so they're all kind of different but generally it follows a 30 month 60 month type scale so on so forth through the course of the 10 years we also i forgot to mention we have axon representatives with us tonight if there's any questions directly from the company that i can't answer also it directors here with us has offered to answer questions as well but great question sir i hope that answered it

Yeah.

One of the things that for me was very important, and you mentioned the IT side, this solves a problem, an ongoing problem we've had with video storage. And it continues to be a problem day in and day out. Every year we get into trouble where we have to make rational decisions of we can delete this one but we need to keep this one and and this solves that problem and and that's i think that's a huge step in the right direction for for where we're at in this journey so

And you're right, Council Member, that is a daily struggle and something the IT director is very passionate about. It's a problem between the police department and the IT department that we're constantly having to bring in data and determine how much can we keep. This is unlimited throughout the 10 years.

And they're guaranteeing us that unlimited means unlimited. There's no cap on unlimited, so...

I would just have just a quick comment. I know when you sit up here as an elected representative of the city, you don't have the luxury of just being able to be on the outside and just looking at all the problems and wondering why nobody's fixing anything and you can uh... point out all the things that are wrong but then when you sit up here you have to address the problems and those problems are expensive and public safety is expensive but we also No, and understand that we want a safe city police and fire and ambulance all that stuff. We have to have that so I appreciate the Initiative that has been taken to look at ways that we're going to be able to stretch the tax dollars further and provide I think ultimately even better service to our community so yeah this is a big number but in the long run I think it's gonna be a savings to the city and we'll be able to provide the kind of protection that our residents are expecting so thank you for you know it's isn't it amazing at how much law enforcement public safety all that has changed over the years it's no more just about buying a having a gun on your hip and a police car and then when the sheriff tells you to get the bullet out of your pocket to put it in the gun it's a it's a incredibly evolving industry and profession so thanks for doing all that you're doing

Appreciate that, Mayor. And you also well know how law enforcement has changed. And just for the council to recognize, we have a great city. We have a safe city. I would compare our city to any of the safest cities in the country, much less the metropolitan area. But we still put a tremendous significance of attention on public safety. Our police officers are out there right now. They're out there 24 hours a day. And we take about 144 calls in a 24-hour period. which equates to about 45,000 calls for service a year, and those numbers aren't getting smaller, and so it's important for us to stay on the leading edge of what service we can provide for safety to our community.

Okay, any other questions, council? If not, would this need a motion? I'll make a motion we approve. Second. All right, we've had the motion and second. Would you call the vote?

Adam Webb. Yes. Rob Clark. Yes. Kathy Griffin. Yes. Sid Porter. Yes. Louie Williams. Yes. Mark Hamm.

Yes. Item passes. Item six is considered declaring 18 bulletproof vests as surplus and authorize their donation to the Oklahoma Association of Chiefs of Police.

Mayor and council, this is back to another nod towards council support and public support towards public safety. We're privileged enough that we can rotate our police body armor when their warranty service is out, which is every five years. And so the number of vests change each year, depending on how many are coming out of service or out of warranty. But with that, we recognize there's rural agencies across the state that aren't as blessed as the city of Moore Police Department is blessed. and with that we have a partnership that when we surplus these bulletproof vests we give them to the Oklahoma association of chiefs of police we sign legal waivers that have been approved through city legal and OACP legal and then they're able to give those vests out to officers and sheriff's deputies that don't have body armor. And it's crazy to me in 2026 to think that we would have police officers doing this job without some sort of body armor protection. But sadly, here in Oklahoma, it's still true. And this is the way a city more can lead in the state and help smaller agencies that don't have the resources we do. And so thankful for the support, but also recommend your approval on this item.

Make a motion to approve second with the motion and second, which you call the vote.

Rob Clark.

Yes.

Kathy Griffith. Yes. Sid Porter. Yes. Louie Williams. Yes. Adam Webb. Yes. Mark Hamm.

Yes. Item passes. Thank you. Item seven, consider approval of a new job description for recreation facility maintenance supervisor and sign it to the pay grade 110 of the salary table approved by the city council on June 20, 2016, and in accordance with the budget approved by council for fiscal year 26-27.

Mayor and Council, the Public Works Department requests approval of the submitted draft of a new job description for Recreation Facility Maintenance Supervisor in the Building Maintenance Division. The new job descriptor will more accurately reflect the organization of the division and the duties to be performed at the station and aquatic center. Based on the duties, responsibilities, and accountabilities assigned, this position should be assigned to Grade 110 of the salary table approved by Council on June 20, 2016, consistent with the approved fiscal year 26-27 budget. Staff does recommend approval. I'd be glad to answer any questions you may have.

Questions? Make a motion to approve. Second. We've had a motion and a second. Would you call the vote?

Kathy Griffith. Yes. Sid Porter. Yes. Louie Williams. Yes. Adam Webb. Yes. Rob Clark.

Yes.

Mark Hamm.

Yes. Item passes. Item 8 is consider adoption resolution number 14726, authorizing the city of Moore to submit a grant application to the Oklahoma 911 Management Authority for a radio console for the 911 center.

Mayor and Council, the Emergency Communications Center is currently expanding from four workstations to six, creating a need for two additional radio consoles. Funding has been secured for one console through a different grant program through the Oklahoma 911 Management Authority. This grant request will be for the remaining workstation in need. Each workstation is intended to have its own radio that will assist the dispatcher in working multiple incidents at one time. The total estimated cost is $49,060.38. The grant has a 20% match requirement, making the city's contribution $9,812.07. And Mandy Mason, our emergency communications manager, is here if you have any questions.

I'm just curious. Are you expanding the current dispatch room? Are we going to be moving, encroaching in a little bit on the emergency management, or are you going to fit it all in where you're at?

No, sir. We're fitting it in where we're currently at.

Okay. There's currently six positions there, right? Six desks there.

We were previously approved for another grant to expand it. We are expanding in November to six desks.

I remember looking at those drawings.

Yes, sir.

Okay.

Very good.

Make a motion to approve.

Mayor and Council, I'm James Collins. I'm with the Oklahoma City Coin Club. And we're excited to have our Greater Oklahoma City Coin Show in Moore, Oklahoma this year. And it's going to be Friday and Saturday, October 2nd and 3rd at the Moore Community Center. And we want to take the time to tell you a little bit about the show. It's going to be fantastic. Hundreds of people are coming to it. We have dealers from seven states that will be coming into Moore. We want to invite all of you to come. And one of the ways that we do, we celebrate at coin shows is we have souvenirs for our coin show. And the souvenir that we have this year is a wooden nickel. You've heard, don't take any wooden nickels, I'm sure. But Mayor and Council, I'd like to give each and every one of you a wooden nickel from the Oklahoma City Coin Club.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you very much. No monetary value. Thank you.

All right. Thank you.

Well, thank you very much. October 2nd and 3rd, the Moore Community Center. So if this is the old community center? Yes. If you're listening, come on out.

Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Appreciate it.

And let's see, we have Ed Steiner. Again, just name, address, and you have five minutes.

My name is Jack Kraitling, Oklahoma City, 12517 Green Lane Chase West. As the mayor alluded to earlier this evening, it is difficult to know everything that's going on in Moore. But as you sit at these positions, it becomes more apparent and important. And I want to thank you for allowing us to present documentation tonight that will assist you in solving a critical and serious problem in Moore. This problem began right after the May 3rd, 1999 tornado that hit not only Moore, but Oklahoma City and the area that I live in. Shortly after that, in January of 2020, Moore allowed, and I will clarify that, Moore allowed a stormwater retention pond at the northeast corner of the new development called Stone Rocks. There's no doubt in anybody's mind that there was a large accumulation of debris in that retention pond. There was the possibility that there were dead animals and no bodies were recovered. But the problem with more allowing to do that and collectively we're talking about more, is that starting at the southwest corner of Northwest 12th and Santa Fe, proceeding northerly on Santa Fe to 27th, which is the northwest corner, one half mile back east along 27th, and then going down along Cavalier Street back to 12th, all drains over into Santa Fe into a pan that is located at, well, it's located right there at Northwest 19th. And the water flows from Moore underneath Santa Fe, which becomes Oklahoma City, And when it reaches Santa Fe on the east side, that channel, overflows, the water from that area exceeds the capacity of that channel. It goes underneath Santa Fe and floods about 600 feet of Oklahoma City to the extent that the owner of that property had to erect a steel bridge in order to access both sides of her property during a rain. As it leaves her property, it goes into Moore again, which is the new development that you have north of 12th Street and east of Santa Fe. That's where the retention pond was located. It was a lifesaver. as well as a preservative to all of the other parties that were downstream. I live in Greenbrier East Lake patio homes. And since the destruction of that pond, the flooding has been continual, excessive, destructural, destructive and unreasonable. On the 25th of January, 2025, I notified the city of Moore that something had to be done. And I have a copy of the letter that I sent you and it states and pleads that Moore do something. I never received a response from anyone in Moore about the contents of that letter. The runoff, stormwater runoff, was not too excessive in the new development until they cleared all of the debris. It was heavily vegetated with scrub oak and grasses. But when that was cleared, the flooding was every, every rain. Now, July 15 of this year, 2026, we had 1.41 inches of rain, which is not a lot of rain. But when you take all of that area that I've described to you, pardon me.

30 seconds, please.

The flooding is excessive. Moore has not addressed that situation. I talked to Mrs. White Moore and asked her to ask the city attorney to look at Title 20 and 20A of the Oklahoma statutes. I asked her to refer the building and covenants for construction in Moore to the City Attorney, because if the situation is not addressed, there is no doubt in my mind that Title 20 could be enforced against the City of Moore. Now City of Moore could be assessed triple damages, which would be millions and millions of dollars. if the situation is found to be correct and Moore does not address it.

Thank you for your comments. Mr. Steiner, were you wanting to speak? Just a couple of things.

OK. I'm here to talk to you about the same thing that Jack was talking to you about. When we realized what was going on with the water damage that was happening in Greenbrier, I came up to the city of Moore and asked for a set of plans, engineering plans, on what is going to be happening with that new addition. I've got a couple of pictures here. I didn't make a whole bunch of copies, but there's two pictures here. One of the comments that we got back from Mrs. or however you pronounce her name.

Give your pictures to Councilman Clark, and he'll pass them down as we look at them. Thank you.

Those pictures identify the kind of damage that's happening on our property. It happens at this point to be in the HOA property and none of the homeowners have been specifically impacted yet. But as you can see those pictures, they, depends on which one you're looking at, but they are taken at a point that is 50 to 70 yards away from the creek. So we've got water coming up almost to the swimming pool and almost to the tennis courts. You all probably don't understand what that is, but those pictures are taken right by the tennis courts and the swimming pool. There's a lot of water there. At one point you can see how far away from the creek you are, and again it's about 70 yards. So the issue is that I came up in January, I think it was the second of January, I asked for a request for information. Filled out the form, brought it back up here, gave it to the little girl that was at that point, I guess permits lady, I'm not sure exactly what her title was, she took the thing and said that we will be getting back to you in seven days. It also said on that request for information that we would be getting information back in seven days. At the point that I came up here, the work had already started on the property. I understand that there are different requirements in different cities, but At the time that I originally talked to everybody, nobody said that they had a permit. As a matter of fact, I was told specifically that they did not have a permit. Couple weeks later, when I called back up here to find out how come I hadn't heard from anybody, the lady that I talked to told me that they weren't ready yet. So I came up here and talked to another one of your staff that told me that it would be two to four months before they would have an approved set of plans. Now, all this time, there's work going on out there on that property. And the water that comes off of that, Jack's already told you what kind of water comes off of that, and those pictures prove that. So the point that I'm making is I asked for that request for information. I got the request back on July 15th. Six months. They're working out there all that time. Now I understand that at some point one of the staff members told me they had a land disturbance permit. Land disturbance permit I'm familiar with. I had to deal with those when I was working. A land disturbance permit is not met for a lot of work to be done. They went in, cut the roads, did all kinds of things so they could line out what was going on. That's not what a land disturbance permit is for. It might be in more, but I can't find anybody to tell me anything about any of it. I asked for that set of plans. I got a stormwater management report back. had one plan involved and a whole slew of calculations. I am not here to put down anything that that engineer did. I'm sure that everything that he did was according to the information he had from the city of Moore. But there are other things that are required by the state and by FEMA when those kinds of things are going on. And the first page of that stormwater management report, in red letters, On a black and white page in red letters, it says FEMA report required.

Sir, we're past time.

I'm sorry.

I'll give you about 15 seconds to wrap up your comments.

That tells me we've got some problems with what's going on. And I have not been done anything but stonewalled with everybody that I've talked to. So I don't know what's going on, but I'm going to keep looking for information so that you all will know what's happening. You should have gotten letters from several of the members of our community about the damage that's being done. And I hope some of you have gotten some of those letters.

OK, thank you for your comments. And just as we can't engage in conversation, the whole point of the citizens forum is for citizens to come and to speak about things that aren't on the agenda. And so since it wasn't an agenda item, the council, that's why we can't necessarily engage with you from here. But afterwards, if you want to stick around and you have questions, We'll be happy to try to answer those and get you the documentation that you want as best as we can. The next person is Clinton Bureau.

Oh, sorry. My name's Clint Rule at 3107 Sooner Drive. I wanted to address the inconsistencies and progression of events concerning the gym and the sportsplex that's built at the end of Sooner Drive. So Sooner Drive, it's all zoned agriculture in that area. So a gentleman bought agriculture land at the end of Sooner Drive. Sooner Drive actually ends, and he has to have a road easement through another property to get to his facility. But he built a metal building. It was permitted for a horse barn. Originally, we were told the occupancy type is utility. He changed it later, said it was going to be for his daughter to practice basketball, and then for him and his friends to play basketball. The first weekend of operation, there's 200 to 300 cars all weekend long up and down our road. There's maybe eight residents, three acres. So it's very abnormal to have that much traffic. So we're like, what's going on? We find out he's holding organized little league basketball tournaments is what it was. He's charging admission. He's charging entry fees bleachers for Spectators so we file a complaint with the city. It's owned agriculture. We don't believe that's you know zoned correctly And so we file a complaint Chad Denson. This is his response to the plane and I'm gonna quote what he wrote City staff has discussed the issue directly with the owner and staff has clearly informed the property owner of their limitations associated with private use specifically The owner understands that public invitations, tournaments, or charging fees are not permitted under the current zoning ordinance. Only private and personal use is permitted. They are welcome to invite friends and family, but they cannot have organized public events. Chad Denson reached out to us, told us it would have to be rezoned commercial. He can't do this. We're going to shut him down. Please guys collect evidence get pictures for us. It'll help our case This is probably going to go to court So we got a daughter eyes and cross our T's and we can't mess this up or a judge will throw it out So we do that we get tons of pictures we show he's charging admission There's bleachers in there all those things that his certificate of occupancy says he cannot have bleachers. He can't have organized events public organized events So all right great. We're gonna shut him down Finally, Chad Denson calls me and goes, hey, man, good news. We finally got the go-ahead. This is several tournaments later. We got the go-ahead. We can shut him down the next tournament. Awesome. He has another tournament. The fire marshal comes out, supposedly kind of shuts him down. He just tells him, after this, you're kind of done. Well, the very next day, the tournament continues. Nothing happens. But after that, it went a long time. We get a letter from the city in July that we all came here, all the residents on Sooner Drive. The city manager requested all of us come. Some council members were here. Chad Denson was here. The city manager was here. And they informed us at that meeting he's zoned proper. He can continue having tournaments. He can charge admission. He's zoned correctly if he gets city water and fire hydrants to his facility. It was kind of a shock. What happened? We find out the city manager actually went to Oklahoma, so his north boundary is Oklahoma City. The city manager went to Oklahoma City, tried to get water from Oklahoma City to drop him one hydrant by his facility so he could operate. So we get nothing. We live here. This is our homes. We sleep here. We live here for him. This is for profit. This is for pleasure. But he's going to get his hydrant, and he's going to get his building protected, but we're going to get nothing. Luckily, the city of Oklahoma City shut that down. So now they've got to come up Sooner Drive to get water to his facility. The city manager met with my wife and I off-site last Friday at his request. We met at a restaurant, and he proposed to us, hey, guys, there's no utility easement up Sooner Drive, but if you can get your neighbors to sign a utility easement, to get him city water to his facility to operate, I will cover the cost to get city water to all your homes, free of charge. Normally, residents have to pay for that cost, but for you guys, I'll run it all the way to your house for free if you'll sign the easement to get him city water. We respectfully declined. We would love city water, but not at the expense of giving up our quiet private road that we all legally built our houses on to live on a quiet street that we're being almost forced to give up. Because now it seems like the city is trying to help this guy in every way they can to overcome these obstacles so he can operate. We still don't believe it's zoned properly. It's zoned agriculture. We were originally told this. We can't get answers of why it's changed, of now it's OK if he gets this city water. We can't get anything answered. But I just want you guys to be aware of what's going on out there. And I don't speak for just me. I speak for every resident on Center Drive and the surrounding area. It's 100% opposition to this. So thank you.

Thank you. Thank you. And our last person signed up is Benjamin Slotnick.

Hi. I'm Dr. Benjamin Slotnick. I'm a geologist. My address is 4804 Southeast 86 Terrace. I'm here to talk about something that hasn't been discussed today, water quality and wastewater. I have a company, Liliana Technologies, that's meeting with a couple of the other cities in the greater Oklahoma City area, and we offer patented technology, lower cost, to be able to provide pH buffering and alkalinity buffering services, along with additional nitrogen and phosphorus removal. In the wastewater industry, there's not been much innovation that's taken place in the last couple of decades. And that's why we're here. We're here to try to enhance the capacity without blowing up budgets for cities. If a wastewater treatment plant goes down, or if you need to build a new one, we're talking about tens of millions of dollars in many cases, especially for the city of Moore. I wouldn't want to see that happen. And so what we're here to do is offer a technology, introduce myself, and see if this is something that the city of Moore might end up having a need of now, or in the next couple of years, or in the next decade. We're looking at expansion, and the Oklahoma City area is one of the areas where we view it as a high value. It's a place where there's a lot of reservoir water and a key component is where groundwater becomes much more problematic and you have to increase the amount of surface water like through reservoir utilization. That's where the buffering capacity How much pH can change or how much nitrification for ammonia removal takes place can be a problem. Now, I realize you're not necessarily those that are part of the public utilities that are overseeing the wastewater, but I at least wanted to introduce that. My understanding is Veolia is the company that you guys work with, and we're here to offer our support to work with whomever you guys are working with. We're not here to try to replace anybody. We're here to try to help enhance what they're able to do at low enough cost. The benefit that we offer is if you ever need a 10, 20, or 30% increase in capacity throughput of how much waste goes through that plant without having to build a new one, that's where we at Liliana Technologies come into effect. We're here to meet with Oklahoma City. We're here to meet with Norman. We're here to meet with Tulsa and a couple of other places generally throughout the entire Oklahoma area. I realize it's not on the agenda, so there can't really be much that's discussed, but more or less, this is becoming a much more serious matter across the board throughout many states and cities. Groundwater is becoming a much more difficult resource to get out. Water is a finite resource. And when you have a higher calcium and a higher magnesium content of your groundwater compared to surface water, issues like this, when you have a lot of reservoir water coming in to a plant, can create issues that didn't used to exist. I don't know if you personally, as a city, will have a need for more reservoir or runoff water in the next couple of years. But if you do, there can be a lot of unexpected costs, either capex or opex, that might go into your wastewater management and ability to be able to service this. So if you have any questions, I'm available all night. I'll stay and potentially inquire through Q&A to see if that's the case. If not, no worries. I just at least wanted to give the city council the opportunity to know that there's a company out there that's trying to innovate and trying to help with what I view as a gap and a big need in this space. So with that, thank you. Oh, and the other thing is I do serve as a director of a municipality elsewhere. I was very impressed with how quick and efficient your meeting was. It's unheard of to have a meeting with 13 agenda items be completed in less than 20 minutes. And so I just wanted to say kudos. That's very impressive.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Item B is items from city council trustees. I attended, along with some other city staff, the OML conference. I was only able to go for one day up in Tulsa. And the day I was there, had a lot of good, met a lot of other good mayors and city council people, as well as heard some good speakers. And I went into one session, and I was surprised. Chad and Sean from our code enforcement were in there leading the breakout session, and it was full. There was probably 90 people in there, and they had kept our attention for 50 minutes. And they represented our city well, and they did a good job. Kudos to them in representing our city well. And other than that, I don't have anything. Item C would be items from the city trust manager.

Mayor and Council, we closed on the KOMA property last Friday, so we now own all of the KOMA property. So looking forward to seeing what opportunities that brings us. And then I would also like to congratulate Chief Gibson and his staff for their hard work on consolidating the technology and a cost-effective solution for the city for the next few years. especially congratulated staff when you know when when the staff will actually work on constructive things good things can happen for the city thank you thank you and item 14 will be adjourned Kathy Griffith yes Sid Porter yes Louie Williams yes Adam Webb yes yes yes and we're adjourned thanks everybody for being here tonight
