Mr. Francis,

31:31 – 32:45Speaker 1

thank you, sir. Uh, so yes, we have the the former teen center located at 322 Callahan Street. It's been vacant for a few years now. Um the city has no um immediate plans for its future use. Um recommending that it be declared surplus so that we can uh start a process for um uh looking at the next possible uses for it opportunity opening it up for opportunity for private investment possibly in the building. Uh this would be the first step. you know, the building does uh need some significant repairs that the the city is not in a position to do or has plans to do. So, uh we are recommending that it be declared surplus question. So, um the terminology surplus, are we selling this to? Um are we going to open up and have groups and organizations to take on uh the management? Um and that would be they would be responsible. I got some questions about, you know, is the city coming off of this asset completely? Had clean.

32:43 – 32:58Speaker 1

Okay. So the the next item on the agenda would be what we're proposing for the next step would be to um u would be to issue or request RFPs. Okay.

32:55 – 33:40Speaker 1

Um for the future and best use of the building including all the things that you just mentioned um the benefit to the city um what if there's a proposed purchase price for the city. Um and also we would have a um we would put together a a committee to review those RFPs and make recommendation back to the city council for uh what that next step would look like. So um I think yes the short answer would be the city would be looking to come off of this completely. Okay. Any further discussion? Move for approval.

33:38 – 33:57Speaker 1

Second. I have a motion and a second. Roll call, please. Jeremy Scheler, yes. Mike Broly, yes. Tom Martanddale, yes. Dan Hall, yes. Melody Cranford, yes. Shirley Hilton Flannry, yes. Tracy H. Yes. Deputy Mayor Jerick Reed. Yes. Mayor Ryan Low, yes. Motion passes.

Consider the appointment of Deputy Mayor Derek Reid, Councelor Stan Hall, Melody Cranford, and Tom Martondelle to serve on the request for proposals committee to determine the highest and best use of a property previously operated as a teen center at 322 Callahan Street or take other necessary action. Um, and there is a mistake in this item. Instead of councelor Tracy H, that should read councelor Dan Hall. So, when we make a motion, we'll need to do a motion as presented. Go ahead, Mr. Francis.

34:27 – 35:12Speaker 1

Okay. Thank you, mayor. Uh, so at our at the public works meeting, we we discussed the possibility of creating uh this committee to review the RFPs. Uh the uh council members that are mentioned had volunteered to be a part of that committee. Al although it was brought up that at this meeting we would have uh two new members who might be interested in in sitting on that committee. Um, and if we did, I believe, uh, Councelor Cranford had said that she would step away from that appointment if if either, um, council member Schuler or, uh, the mayor decided they would like to sit on that.

35:13 – 35:58Speaker 1

I don't necessarily I think it's good. Okay. So, so we would recommend um the the approval of that committee as the city clerk had stated. Make a motion approve of that committee as amended with councelor Hall in their place of counselors. Thank you for that clear motion. Second, I have a motion to second. Roll call, please. Jeremy Scheler, yes. Mike Broly, yes. So Martinale, Dan Hall, yes. Melody Cranford, yes. Shirley Hilton Flannry, yes. Tracy H. Yes. Deputy Mayor Derek Reed. Yes. Mayor Ryan Low. Yes. Motion passes.

Um and the annual inspections are included in this price. The the uh bid also includes the possibility of renewal for two one-year periods. Uh staff does recommend approval. Any discussion? Uh one question. Uh you have it down. We have it down as 56368, but on the bid it says 542. Is it just you just automatically name the 4% on that?

36:58 – 37:33Speaker 1

38:33 – 38:55Speaker 1

I I do have a question too on the uh a lot of the services on the markups. Some are 10, some are 20. Why is there a a markup for the materials bought? That's pretty standard operating for You'll see that on a lot of these bids. I've seen that. Yeah.

38:53 – 39:20Speaker 1

And uh it's pretty standard. They're they're marking up a little bit on everything that they buy. Now, you will see that uh um the one the one that didn't have a listing that should have said that um they did not respond. So, no response. But for for BNR was 10 listed at 10%. But that's pretty standard across the board on on all of these different contracts.

Um we're going to answer questions, but staff recommends approval. Do we vote on those renewals or does they just happen? They just happen. Okay. Any further discussion?

40:45 – 41:10Speaker 1

Motion. I move for approval. Second. Have a motion and a second. Roll call, please. Jeremy Scheler, yes. Mike Broly, yes. Tom Martanddale, yes. Dan Hall, no. Melody Cranford, no. Shirley Hilton Flannry. Yes. Tracy H. Yes. Deputy Mayor Jerick Reed. Yes. Mayor Ryan Low. Yes. Item passes. Number 47. Please

41:10 – 41:37Speaker 1

consider approval of the lowest and only bid for Macintosh Service LLC for a plumbing contractor for the maintenance of all city facilities at the following rates. Contractor $99 hourly. Apprentice $74 hourly. Journeyman $99 hourly and material cost markup at 20% for fiscal year 2026 2027 or take other necessary action.

41:34 – 42:19Speaker 1

Mr. Frank, thank you again. Uh so we solicited bids for plumbing contractor and maintenance. Um unfortunately we only received the one bid for Macintosh Services LLC uh for the rates that were stated in the item. Um staff does recommend approval of the of the sole bid. Um, Macintosh has um has a good history with the city and uh um the work they've done in the services services they have provided. Wonder where they're out of I was going to ask are they Jeff did you say Tulsa is that correct? Yes. When you send out these requests for quote

42:17 – 43:02Speaker 1

it's a it's a bid packet. Okay. When you send out this bid packet on this specific one, do you know how many we sent it out to? I cannot tell you off the top of my head now. Okay. I just I want to make sure that Yes, sir. Come on. Probably answer that question for you. Thank you. U all of our bids for whatever we're bidding out is listed on the uh city's website and it is also listed in local paper. Okay. and it is listed in national plan sites. So, it's distributed across the United States as well as Oklahoma. So, uh that that is per state law. Do you know in this particular case who we sent those out to?

43:01 – 43:34Speaker 1

That that wasn't specifically sent out to any individuals or any companies specifically. Yeah. So, it's just a broad send it out and they they they answer as they would. Yeah. We get as many companies as we can. Um, sometimes we have the one bid. We got one coming up. It was a one bid, but uh uh sometimes that's just economics. Yes, sir. Is it something they can make money on coming to MSO from Tulsa or Oklahoma City? Something like that. Sometimes it's better to have a local vendor do it. They can do it cheaper.

43:32 – 44:17Speaker 1

Thank you for that explanation. Appreciate that. And as you and this wouldn't have been on the on the agenda tonight if I wouldn't have voted no last week or the week before last. But I just find it hard to deal with when there's only one company even though they've been a proven company to us. I don't want to make this company think that I'm dissatisfied with their work, but I just want to see more people bidding on our jobs. And I don't know how to do that. Uh, and so it's just hard for me to believe that only one company did it, but that's what you tell me. That's what I got to believe.

44:15 – 44:47Speaker 1

I move for approval. Second. Second. Have a motion and a second. Roll call, please. Jeremy Scheler, no. Mike Broly, yes. Tom Martanddale, yes. Dan Hall, no. Melody Cranford, yes. Shirley Hilton Flannry, yes. Tracy H. No. Deputy Mayor Derek Reed. Yes. And Mayor Ryan Low. No. Passes. Item passes. Number 48.

44:48 – 45:20Speaker 1

Consider approval of the lowest and or best bids for road material contract road materials contractors per the attached list. Youngman Asphalt aka Youngman Rock aka Glover and Associates Incorporated, Cooks Consulting LLC, Apac Central DBA Arcola, and Tulsa Asphalt LLC for fiscal year 2026 2027 per the attached bid sheet or take other necessary action. Mr. St.

45:18 – 45:58Speaker 1

Yeah, these are our asphalt bids for the upcoming year for our road work. It's our patching material. It's the asphalt we use for small projects. When we go out for a big bid project, those are usually put in that bid packet. So, that's not what we're doing. We have bought asphalt from each one of these individual companies. They all seem to be very acceptable. They have to make their asphalt per OP spec. Anytime we feel like it's not good asphalt, we can have it uh tested. So, we do recommend approval. We think this is a good bid and I'll answer any questions. How often do you request to have it tested?

45:56 – 46:37Speaker 1

Not very often. Most of the asphalt comes out as pretty good. You can see the minute it comes out if it's not good. It'll be extremely oily looking material or it'll it'll be brittle. It'll have already started setting up. And we do use an inspector with a heat gun behind a lot of these projects, by the way. So, most material comes out good. We never have a problem. It steams twice in the last three years. Yeah. We have had it tested though. So, we're buying our asphalt from these people, but do they put it down or does someone else put it down? We're just simply buying the material from them. So, none of these are contract projects.

46:35 – 47:33Speaker 1

What's the difference? I saw like there's the asphalt sand and then there's as concrete and then there's a BMIX 6422 and a B VMIX wrap 642. So, I could have somebody come up here and spend all day explaining all the different types of asphalt. Just like there's different types of gasoline, it's what they're cut with, the product they use to cut it, whether they're using kerosene or diesel, it's whether they've got a latex additive to it to make it stretching type material. It's it's just a lot of different material. And the reason we put it in there like that, some days we can't get asphalt because the state lays different type of asphalt on their projects and we may want to go ahead and take that asphalt that day. So that's the reason we bid so many different types. Plus Avery's in the world where now he's learning all these different asphalts and and is trying to do a little testing to see which one actually lasts better.

47:32 – 48:12Speaker 1

There's just a lot for us to figure out. Oh, it is. And you go to the asphalt laboratories and look at it, it makes it even more complicated. Do recommend approval. Any further discussion? Move for approval. Seconded. A motion to second. Roll call, please. Jeremy Scheler, yes. Mike Broly, yes. Tom Martanddale, yes. Dan Hall, no. Melody Cranford, yes. Shirley Hilton Flannry, yes. Tracy H. Yes. Deputy Mayor Derek Reed, yes. Mayor Ryan Lowe,

48:07 – 48:36Speaker 1

no. Item passes. Number 49. Consider approval of the lowest and best bid in the amount of $199,900 from Cook Consulting LLC for the water treatment plant chemical feed system improvements project number 20260008 or take other necessary action. Mr. Mr.

48:33 – 50:12Speaker 1

I'm going to handle this one. Uh the bids were requested and received for the project. Could construction provided the only bid for the project? The engineer of record of Michael Taylor of Cohen Engineering recommended the bid as being in line with estimates previously reviewed and compiled prior to bidding the project. Uh to answer the question as far as one bid is concerned also it has to be taken in consideration if the project is viewed by the contractors be as being profitable too. Right now I've got several projects going. One of them Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame. Uh we took the lowest and best bids for those as well. Having trouble getting the projects done because those contractors are coming from Tulsa back and forth. And so they have bid it tight and now they're having trouble making margins. So that's another thing to take in consideration when you have one bidder. Uh where's the bidder from? This bidder is from locally and the egg's done a real good job for us on any and all projects that we've come across. Also, it has to take into consideration how technical is the project. This project is extremely technical and uh the project will is basically for uh the chemical feed for the water treatment plant. So, uh not anybody can just pick up and do this project. So, staff does recommend approval. We have Michael Taylor, the engineer of record here tonight to answer any questions if you guys might have any discussion.

50:08 – 50:52Speaker 1

And again, I mean, Cook Consulting, they do a lot of work for us and I don't think they've done hardly anything bad for us. I just the only reason that I'm going to vote like I am tonight is because there's just one one bid on it and I just can't I'd like to see more bids and I know y'all's doing the best you can but I've got to vote the way I'm going to vote just because it's I expect more people to bid on their jobs and it's nothing against you or anybody else. No, I I understand but you have to look at the profit margin on the job. is does do the contractors see it as profitable and should they bid on it? So, a lot of them we don't get that.

50:49 – 51:46Speaker 1

I I will say I I share the same concern as councelor Hall, especially in the the uh our current economical state in this country. Uh it would seem like we would have folks lining up to do this work. You know, it's a guaranteed paid job. So, uh, I'm not a I'm not a construction specialist or or a project manager or anything like that to say the least, but u that's a little concerning to me as well. Uh, you know, like like Mr. Hall said, it's not a dick towards you guys, but it's just we wonder why we can't get folks to come down here and work. And maybe you can, that's your expertise. Maybe you can explain it, but you know, just saying that there's not enough profit margin in there. Uh, it's kind of hard to believe.

51:44 – 52:09Speaker 1

I believe also that we're at the end of a lot of the ARPA funding. And so you're seeing a lot of these sewage, water, lines, these specialy type projects that are a lot of the competitors are doing these now. That that money's that ARPA money is running out this year. I mean, it's gone. Next year when you bid these things, I there'll probably be more biders just because there'll be people looking for work because Yeah. Yeah.

52:08 – 52:53Speaker 1

Because right now all these smaller communities got this money. So that's another reason why I just want people know another reason why we're not getting a lot of these bids for these types of projects is because the ARPA money is was given out during the 2020 to 23 24 something like that. So So we have a lot of that stuff. That's a reason why we're not seeing a lot of these bids come through. Thank you for that. I move for approval. Second. Have a motion and a second. Roll call, please. Jeremy Scheler, yes. Mike Broly, yes. Tom Martanddale, yes. Dan Hall, no. Melody Cranford, yes. Shirley Hilton Flannry, yes. Tracy Hoos, yes. Deputy Mayor Derek Reed, yes. Mayor Ryan Lowe,

52:50 – 53:16Speaker 1

yes. It passes 50, please. Consider approval to award IMC Consulting LLC to uh the rebid for the water treatment plant replenishment of anthraite filter media for the unit cost per cubic foot at $26.50 equaling a total cost of $182,850 or take other necessary action.

53:16 – 55:15Speaker 1

Yes, thank you. Uh so I put together a quick PowerPoint. Anththerite media is not something the average person would know about. So I wanted to take a second just explain to you what we're looking for. So anththerite is a hard high carbon coal that's crushed into a very small size. We're talking point millimeters. Um so it sits above our gravel and our sand and our filters and that's what the water goes through and it catches the small silt and then it goes through the sand which is even tighter. uh water goes downward through the bed. The larger spaces between the amphite particles capture the suspended solids, all the things that haven't been treated out of the water yet before that filting process uh before the water reaches the finer sand below. So, here's what it kind of looks like. This isn't exactly what ours looks like, but it's the best cross cut of one I could find. So, you have your troughs up top and your backwash outlet. Then, right below that, you have your anththerite. Then you're standing your gravel. So how do we lose it over time? So when you backwash your filters, it is a backwash. So it's going the other way. So it floats some of that anththerite up and out and then back into our backwash process. That's the biggest cause of media loss. The second is attrition. Over the years they break down, get into smaller pieces, and then you lose more through that backwash. And it also filters down through. And then operational upsets. Anytime you have any sort of non-perfection with your treatment process and you're going to have a backwash cause, it's going to cause you to lose more filter media than your average filter media loss would be with no upsets. So, the benefits of what we're about to ask for the replenishment is it restores our original filter run length, which basically means how long do you get out of a filter before you have to go back and backwash it. So, as you lose filter media, you have to backwash more frequently. That's more downtime, less time making water. Uh, it improves our turbidity and particle

55:13 – 56:18Speaker 1

removal. That's just short-term or layman's term. That means we get better water the more filter media we have. Reduces our backwash frequency. Uh, that's another less downtime. It lowers our energy and water consumption. So, that lowers our operating cost. So, we can make more water for the same dollar. Improves our regulatory compliance margins. This is something ODQ does come in and check when they do our yearly compliance uh evaluation inspections. So, they do require that your media be at a certain depth. The last time we went through a CI, they just said, "What's your depth look like? Get a measurement on it." We did our measurement measurement and said, "Hey, it's time for us to replace." And it protects our downstream processes like our disinfection. So, once again, lowers our operating cost by lessening chemical needed. And uh be happy to answer any questions. We had two two bids. Uh they're competitive bids. They were in line with what we expected to see. IMC has done some work for uh some other water plants in the state and they come highly recommended.

56:15 – 57:00Speaker 1

And this is a rebid. I do want to uh bring that up. We had some discussion a couple of meetings ago about the original bids, how they were bid as a line item versus lump sum and how they had mobilization in there. So, uh, with that being said, I can answer any questions you guys may have. Are these two new companies at bid or are these the same two? There's two of the original four. When was the last time we replenished this anththerite? It's I think it's been more than five years, but less than 10. So, it's Yeah, it's been quite some time. We usually get you lose about an inch a year. Move for approval. Second.

56:58 – 57:37Speaker 1

I have a motion in a second. Roll call, please. Jeremy Scheler, yes. Mike Broly, yes. Tom Martanddale, yes. Dan Hall, yes. Melody Cranford, yes. Shirley Hilton Flannry, yes. Tracy H. Yes. Deputy Mayor Derek Ree, yes. Mayor Ryan Low, yes. Item passes. 51. Consider approval of final payment and change order number one to Apex Central Incorporated for project number 24007 citywide mail and overlay in the amount of $680,37155 or take other necessary action. Mr.

57:34 – 58:53Speaker 1

Yes, thank you. So, we had this item on for final pay on a public works meeting. I want to say in January, uh, between the time we did the public works meeting and when it was coming up to the council for final pay, we noticed an issue with the street. We worked with a contractor. It was a country club between Shaunie and Harris Road. Uh, we saw some uh raveling of the pavement. Um, we think that had to do with one, the temperature that it was laid in some spots, and two, it went through a pretty severe freeze right after that. So, we worked with the contractor. They were a very willing partner. What we did was we went in with a emulsion type seal coat. They extended the warranty from one year to a 2-year warranty and restriped it all at no cost to the city. So uh with that being said, we also did 19 other streets uh that are listed in your packet. We're happy with the way they turned out. Apac has done uh several milling overlay projects for us and I'm sure they will do more in the future. Um it was a good project. We've done milling overlays in each zone. we had an opportunity to go back and kind of correct what we felt like we missed when we went to each zone and uh there's plenty more to do. We've got another project going right now, but for this one, we're ready to wrap it up and look for approval.

58:51 – 59:36Speaker 1

So, I noticed on here it said that even with the uh the at the uh change order that came in under bid. Mhm. I was trying to look through these numbers and see how I could figure that out. How much did it come under bid for the total package? it. Sorry, that may be uh misconstrued in there. What that really means to say is it came in below the change order amount. So, you only have a 10% threshold to change order. That change order came in below that 10%. So, it still cost us more than the regular deal, but we got how many street more streets? Uh I want to say five. I can count them, but I think it was five. So, I think I read that one. So, the change order is we were adding we were adding to the job. Yeah. Okay.

59:34 – 1:00:19Speaker 1

Yeah. change orders on mill and overlay. It's just usually going to be just more streets. Gotcha. There's not much else to change. Move for approval. I second it. Have a motion in a second. Roll call, please. Jeremy Scheler, yes. Mike Broly, yes. Tom Martale, yes. Dan Hall, yes. Melody Cranford, yes. Shirley Hilton Flannry, yes. Tracy, yes. Deputy Mayor Jerick Reed, yes. Mayor Ryan Lowe, yes. Item passes. Item 52, please. receive an update from FiveStar Demolition regarding the demolition quote received for the property located at 909 West MGI Avenue, setting the commencement and completion dates for demolition and take other necessary action.

1:00:15 – 1:01:02Speaker 1

W Thank you. Um, an appeal for the demolition of 909 West Mogi was heard back on March the 23rd um at the city council meeting. You guys did approve uh did vote to approve and proceed with the demolition of the structures. We did receive a quote back from our city contractor on that and it came in at $21,252 to complete the de demolition of all the structures. Excuse me. Um, this demolition can proceed on or after May the 5th, 2026 per the state statute. We are just bringing you the update of the quote and also asking you to set those commencement and completion dates for the demolition. staff does recommend that those dates be set.

1:00:59 – 1:01:37Speaker 1

And the c the owner of the property retains the dirt, right? Yes. Okay. Miss Spencer, when we did this the first time, we did a vote and I asked if I had to abstain. It was no. And then the owner of the property put in an objection and it went through and it was seeing that I didn't need to abstain. Do I need to abstain on this item also or can I vote? No, you can vote. Okay. Thank you. I move for approval. Second dates. We've got to set some dates. Set the date. Do you have any recommendations?

1:01:34 – 1:02:08Speaker 1

I do. So, you guys are aware that we do have a larger demolition coming up that will take place May the 8th through the 11th. So, I would request that the dates for this be set after the May 11th date. And then, if you can give us those uh commencement and completion dates, we'll make sure that the demolition is done by that time. How soon? I don't know what those dates are. You look at them. Do you have a date that you'd like to recommend for the council to consider?

1:02:11 – 1:02:56Speaker 1

Yes. So, if we could start a demolition possibly on May the 15th and then completing that by May the 23rd. Okay. I entertain a motion. Yes. Uh I move that we move forward with this with those dates May 15th through uh May 23rd to have this demolition completed. Second. Have a motion and a second. Roll call, please. Jeremy Scheler, yes. Mike Broly, yes. Tom Martanddale? Yes. Dan Hall? I say Melanie Cranford. Yes. Shirley Hilton Flannry. Yes. Tracy H. Yes.

1:02:55 – 1:03:40Speaker 1

Deputy Mayor Jerick Reed. Yes. Mayor Ryan Lowe. Yes. Item passes. Item 53. Cons. Consider approval of an amended city council date for the property located at 313 North 14th Street that was tabled at the March 23rd, 2026 city council meeting or take other necessary action. Mr. Winkle. Yes. Um this item was brought before city council on March the 23rd. Um it was tabled for 90 days which um to the June 29th 2026 council meeting. That date is incorrect. So, we are asking for an amendment to correct the city council date to be June the 22nd of 2026. And we recommend approval of the amended table date of June 22nd, 2026.

1:03:38 – 1:04:15Speaker 1

Move for approval. A second it have a motion in a second. Roll call, please. Jeremy Scheler, yes. Mike Broly, yes. Tom Martanddale, yes. Dan Hall, yes. Melody Cranford, yes. Shirley Hilton Flannry, yes. Tracy H. Yes. Deputy Mayor Derek Reid, yes. Mayor Ryan Lowe, yes. passes number 54, please consider approval of waving the application fee in regard to a certificate of appropriateness for the property located at 304 North 16th Street or take other necessary action. This one?

1:04:12 – 1:05:21Speaker 1

Yes, thank you. Um on August 27th, the property located um at 304 North 16th was found by the Uniform Building Code of Appeals Board to be dilapidated. Um they did recommend that it should be demolished. Uh the file was sent to our attorney's office for review and received back as approved for demolition. Because this property is located in a historic district, which is Founders Place, uh we still have to send it to the Historic Preservation Commission to have the certificate of appropriateness for the demolition approved. Um all the certified mail and newspaper publishings have gone unanswered by the owner. The application for a certificate of appropriateness has a $50 application fee, but since we do not have an owner that we can contact to pay this fee, this is why our we are requesting that there be a waiver to that so that we as the city can send it to the Historic Preservation Commission for approval. Um, we do recommend approval of the waiver of the $50 fee. So doing this, we're not going to be hearing about this 30 years down the line for some lawsuit for multi-million dollars for waving a fee or anything. We are within our legal authority to do this

1:05:18 – 1:06:03Speaker 1

to to wave it. I have to ask you guys to wave it because I do not have the authority to do so since they were set in the appendix by council. Miss Spencer, you're referring specifically to the condemnation, right? Um yes, we our office has gone through the file. All of the steps that are required by law have been um gone through every meeting, every notice availability, all of those things have gone through and um it has been approved. Unfortunately, there is no way to say absolutely not someone isn't going to come back, but the city has done everything that the law requires that the case law requires and the city attorney's office has approved it. So, have you spoken to the property owner?

1:06:01 – 1:06:17Speaker 1

We cannot make contact with the property owner. We have sent several certified mails. We've published it in the paper. We have made every attempt by state statute that we are obliged to make and and actually in addition to to make contact with that owner.

1:06:20 – 1:07:02Speaker 1

So, my question is us waving this fee is not going to create any loopholes for the property owner to come back. No, this fee is um a fee that's set by city council. Okay. And so that's why city council has to um approve waving it. It's a fee for the city. So we have the authority to wave the fee. It's a fee for the city. So I mot make a motion we wave the fee. I'll second it. I have a motion in a second. Roll call, please. Jeremy Scheler, yes. Mike Broly, yes. Tom Martale, yes. Dan Hall, yes. Melody Cranford, yes. Shirley Hilton Flannry, yes. Tracy H. Yes. Deputy Mayor Derek Reed. Yes. Mayor Ryan Low. Yes. Madam pass 55.

1:07:00 – 1:07:42Speaker 1

Consider approval of amended city council policy 1-14 subcommittee on council management relations or take other necessary action. Uh this is mine and Miss Hilton's items. So the subcommittee for uh council management relations. We've had a few council members expressed interest in this. Um, I recommend uh that we move forward with Tom Martondelle. His experience in human resources, his background is just a good fit for this. Uh, this committee is basically any type of employee relations between the council and our three employees that we have. So, that is my motion. Second. Second.

1:07:41 – 1:08:03Speaker 1

I have a motion and a second. Roll call, please. Jeremy Scheler, yes. Mike Broly, yes. Yes. Tom Martanddale. Dan Hall. Yes. Melody Cranford. Yes. Charlie Hilton Flannry. Yes. Tracy H. Yes. Deputy Mayor Derek Reed. Yes. Mayor Ryan Low. Yes. Passes.

1:08:06 – 1:08:27Speaker 1

At this time, we would like to rec recognize citizens wishing to speak. Mr. Martin, Gary Martin, if you would come up, state your name, and talk into the microphone there for us. And you'll have five minutes, sir. Okay. My name is Gary Martin. Yes, sir.

1:08:24 – 1:10:22Speaker 1

And I pastor St. Apostolic Church, and I it's honored to stand before this esteemed council on you, your honor, mayor. Uh we have uh owned the property there at 20 uh 282 South Cherokee Street for 14 years. And for 12 of that 14 years, we've had a RV at the back of the property uh for ministry to stay in when they would come preach for us uh to to keep us from having to put out money for hotels because the church is small. It really can't afford that. And so we've not had any issues. There's been no citations. There's no health issues, anything like that. Uh, but my son and the neighbor, uh, my son complained to the neighbor because she would put her dogs out between 3:00 and 5:00 a.m. in the morning, wake him up. He's staying there while he's remodeling the house across the street to move into. And because of that, she complained to the city about uh the RV being there to try to make us move it. And the only time that she done that was after she realized or knew that we was going to put a fence up there to stop any further problems coming in, which the fence is in the process of being built. And so what we're asking the uh the city to do is to give us the right to uh leave the RV there. We're not here to fight the city. We're here for a fair outcome. But we do expect consistency. Uh this is municipal acuence, if you will. For 12 years, nobody said anything, done anything, and now it's targeted because of of the lady's complaint. Uh, also, if you make us move the home right now, my son will be without a home until he gets his home remodeled, and that would that would not be good either. and it involves the use of religious property. Federal law lua requires reasonable accommodation and we're asking the city to do the right thing before it becomes anything bigger than it really needs to

1:10:19 – 1:11:37Speaker 1

be. And so this came after the property dispute uh and the fence and we're just asking that the city uh not enforce the code there because of personal disputes. And we're asking for we're not asking for a personal or a permanent exemption for my son to be able to stay in the RV just temporary until he can finish the house. Then it'll go right back into what it was intended for when we when we placed it there. The city was also aware when Mayor Coleman was here that we put it there when we started the remodel of the of the church. uh they approved for us to put in a lift station. Um and we've done that. There's actually two drops there. Uh and we've only been using one of those. And so we're just asking as a reasonable request that this be a fixable situation to the city. Again, we're not here to fight the city. We're here for accommodation from the city to help us do what needs to be done. I'm done. Thank you, sir. Miss Fuentes. Hope I'm saying that right. Mary Fuentes.
