City Manager Brian McDougal explained to the Commission that this work session is to discuss capital projects. City staff is recommending that budget revenues be projected as flat for FY09-10. Mr. McDougal informed commissioners that $100,000 had been set aside for capital needs at the Expo Center. He also spoke to them regarding the interest on money set aside for the Regional Park Project. James Bryce, Interim Director of Operations, spoke regarding the budget request for the municipal pool. At this point the money requested is enough to satisfy the Health Department requirements in order to keep the pool open and to address ADA concerns. Mr. Bryce also addressed the heat & air at the Municipal Auditorium and explained that Director Kate Joyce had recently applied for an energy conservation grant. Future plans for the building would include re-roofing and to upgrade lighting. Ms. Joyce would like the building to have a “green roof” or solar panels. The Airport walking trail and the Boy Scout Park walking trail were discussed. Other areas explained by Mr. Bryce included the need for mowers, including a remote control slope mower. City Engineer John Krywicki discussed the Kickapoo Street widening project and explained the breakdown of the money set aside by the City and that pledged by the Oklahoma Department of Transportation. Also discussed was money remaining in the North Kickapoo Street Project earmarked for decorative lighting. The ODOT paid for the lighting and therefore there is still an amount remaining in the budget for this project. Mr. Krywicki also explained his request for a Closed Circuit Impact Plant as a means of recycling concrete. He noted that this is more economical than purchasing aggregates every year. He also explained the City’s current Bridge Projects Plan which inspects 42 bridges throughout the City annually. Police Chief Russell Frantz explained his request for five 4 x4 Expeditions to be used as K-9 vehicles. Fire Chief Jimmy Gibson explained his request for a swift water rescue boat and his request for two additional vehicles in the fire service. At the conclusion of staff’s presentations, the following observations and requests were made by members of the Commission: 1. That there be consideration to increase the amount to the Airport from $10,000 to $15,000. 2.
