Union from R-1, Single Family Residential District, R-3, Multi-Family Residential District and C-1, Neighborhood Commercial District to C-1P, Neighborhood Commercial District with Conditional Use Permit for use as a clinic for mental, narcotic and alcoholic patients. (Applicant: Kristy Morrell for Solid Ground, Inc.) Mayor Harden declared a public hearing in session to consider an ordinance to rezone property located at 941 North Union for use as a clinic for mental, narcotic and alcoholic patients. It was noted that the Planning Commission and staff recommended denial of the application. There was a thirty-five percent (35%) formal protest filed by surrounding property owners. Mayor Harden asked if any persons wished to appear in favor of or in protest of the rezoning. Those appearing in favor of the clinic were Kristy Morrell, applicant; Carl Alice, Kristin Crider, Steve Becker, and Stan Curry. Appearing in opposition to the rezoning were Kim Rowan, Angela Cravens, Mr. Ragan, Link Cowen, David Andrew, and Charles Rowan. The four main reasons stated for the protest were: (1) mixing mental patients in a neighborhood full of children would be unwise and in some instances dangerous; (2) mental patients are unpredictable and would propose a threat to the security of the neighborhood; (3) location is a factor in determining property values and consider the facility a detriment to the area; and (4) protestants do not believe that one property owner has the right to influence and depreciate all property values for the area. The public hearing was closed and the title and ordinance was read into record. An ordinance entitled “An ordinance concerning the zoning classification of the following described property located within the corporate limits of the City of Shawnee, Oklahoma, to-wit: The North Eighty (80) feet of Lots One (1), Two (2), Three (3), Four (4), Five (5), Six (6) and Seven (7) and North Eighty (80) feet and the South Sixty (60) feet of the East Fifteen (15) feet of Lot Eight (8) and all Lots (9), Ten (10), Eleven (11), Twelve (12), Thirteen (13), Fourteen (14) and Fifteen (15), Block 2, Blain’s Addition to the City of Shawnee, together with the South Fifteen (15) feet of vacated Degras Street adjacent to Lots one (1) through Fifteen (15), Block 2, Rezoning said property from C-1, Neighborhood Commercial District; R-1, Single Family Residential District and R-3, Multi-family Residential District to C-1P, Neighborhood Commercial District with Conditional Use Permit, amending the official zoning map of the City of Shawnee accordingly.” Motion was made by Commissioner Harrod, seconded by Vice Mayor Downing, that the title and ordinance be denied. Motion carried. AYE: Harrod, Downing, Claybrook, Pettyjohn, Harden, Blair NAY: None THE COMMISSION RECESSED AT 8:34 PM. TO ALLOW THE AUDIENCE TO CLEAR THE CHAMBERS AND IT RECONVENED AT 8:40 P.M. Next, Mayor Harden stated that the Commission would deviate from the formal agenda and consider Agenda Item No. 9. AGENDA ITEM NO. 9: Presentation by Keith Kuhlman from Commissioners of the Land Office concerning leases at Shawnee Lake. Appearing before the Commission was Mr. Keith Kuhlman, Director of the Real Estate Management, representing the Commissioners of the Land Office, State of Oklahoma, regarding the ownership of the lakesite leases in two tracts known as South School Tract and North School Tract. Mr. Kuhlman informed the Commission that he and City Manager Terry Powell had been working about two to three years trying to get the issues resolved when it was discovered by the State Land Commission staff that the City of Shawnee had inadvertently been leasing lots in the North and School Tracts at Shawnee Lake No. 1. He told the Commission that in 1935 the Land Commission granted an easement to the City of Shawnee for water works purposes only. Continuing, he informed that in 1996 through selling off land owned by the State Land Commission, they discovered the mistake and did thorough checking and then approached the City with their findings and presented some solutions. Through their research, they have determined that the fair market lease value for a lake lot is $600.00 annually. Mr. Kuhlman stated that the Land Commission was proposing to enter into a series of three-year agreements with the City wherein the City will pay the State of Oklahoma $600.00 per lot phased-in as the City leases are renewed. Mr. Kuhlman reassured the Commission and lake lessees, many who were in the audience, that the city would continue to keep control of the lakesites and would sublease the lots. According to staff’s information, there are twenty-eight (28) leased lots that will be affected. Also in a memorandum from Community Development Director Michael Southard, the City of Shawnee must decide whether to raise rates to offset the costs or absorb the difference between the rate charged through the lease and the $600.00. It was noted that currently, Shawnee citizens are charged $200.00 per year and non-residents pay $400.00 per year. In final, City Manager Terry Powell explained that in order to make the transition easy, it was agreed that the master lease with the Land Commission was the best solution in order to eliminate changing the rate every five years. The phase-in process for the subleases would be over a six to nine year period. The Commission raised questions about the amounts and other costs involved. The Commission took action under the next agenda item. AGENDA ITEM NO. 10: Consider Unsubordinated Com-mercial Ground Lease between Commissioners of the Land Office and City of Shawnee and increase in lease rates in North School Tract and South School Tract at Shawnee Lake. A motion was made by Commissioner Claybrook, seconded by Commissioner Blair, to approve the Unsubordinated Commercial Ground Lease three-year term between the Commissioners of the Land Office and the City of Shawnee to increase the yearly lease fees for lots in the North and South School Tracts at Shawnee Twin Lake No. 1 to $600 annually. Motion carried. AYE: Claybrook, Blair, Downing, Pettyjohn, Harrod, Harden NAY: None AGENDA ITEM NO. 11: Consider a resolution waiving competitive bidding to request proposals from nurseries for the Kickapoo Spur tree grant project. Community Development Director Michael Southard provided a list of nurseries that have participated in the Highway Tree Planting Program during the last three years and received contracts from recipients of Highway Tree Planting Grants. Staff requests that the City Commission waive the competitive bidding process and send bids to a select list of contractors. This project will be funded through in-kind or donated labor and materials and highway funds. A very small percentage will be funded through the City’s general fund. Resolution No. 6093 was introduced and the title read aloud. Resolution No. 6093 entitled “A resolution authorizing the City’s participation in the Oklahoma Department of Transportation Highway tree planting program and purchasing trees from selected nurseries and waiving competitive bidding. A motion was made by Vice Mayor Downing, seconded by Commissioner Claybrook, that the Title and Resolution be approved. Motion carried. AYE: Downing, Claybrook, Pettyjohn, Harrod, Harden, Blair NAY: None Thereupon Mayor Harden declared Resolution No. 6093 duly passed and adopted. Mayor Harden stated the Commission would now consider Agenda Item No. 8. AGENDA ITEM NO. 8: Update on Capital Improvements programs, including continued improvements to water treatment plant, multi-purpose building, Main Street streetscape project and regional sports complex and authorize staff to proceed with engagement of financial advisory and bond consultant services. City Manager Terry Powell and City Treasurer/Finance Director Jim Wilsie gave updates on the four proposed capital improvement programs that include funding the water treatment plant expansion; building a multi-purpose facility located near the Exposition Center; build a regional park/sports complex; and implement a downtown streetscape plan. The City Manager reported that staff had looked at five to six sites for the regional park and the average cost for a 60 to 80 acre site would cost between $300,000 to $400,000. In regards to the streetscape project, federal funds (ISTEA), was a possibility for matching funds. Next, Mr. Jim Wilsie, Treasurer/Finance Director explained to the Commission it was his recommendation to engage the services of Leo Oppenheim as financial advisor and Fagin, Brown, Bush, Tinney & Kiser, PC as bond counsel. He gave reasons for waiving competitive bidding on these services and recommended the two firms based on their superior reputation and the excellent service the city received on previous bond issues. Mr. Wilsie stated that he was also recommending that staff be authorized to negotiate the fees for these services that would be presented to the Commission at a later date. Concluding, City Manager Terry Powell reassured the Commission that staff would continue to update them on the progress. A motion was made by Commissioner Harrod, seconded by Vice Mayor Downing, to approve proceeding with the capital improvements concept; waiving competitive bidding and authorize staff to proceed with the engagement of Leo Oppenheim as financial advisor and Fagin, Brown, Bush, Tinney & Kiser, PC as bond counsel. Motion carried. AYE: Harrod, Downing, Claybrook, Pettyjohn, Harden, Blair NAY: None AGENDA ITEM NO. 12: Consider a resolution waiving competitive bidding to purchase satellite imager from a sole source vendor. Community Development Director Michael Southard explained that approved in the Planning Department budget for this fiscal year was a geographic information system that can be utilized by numerous departments. A geographic information system (GIS) is basically a spatial spreadsheet that provides data through maps. A couple of examples of uses would be identifying addresses on the map or tracking the age of or repairs on a sewer line to determine which should be replaced. A GIS will also make it easier for the City to redistrict when the new census information becomes available. Resolution No. 6094 was introduced and the title read aloud. Resolution No. 6094 entitled “A resolution authorizing the purchase of a geographic information system from a sole source vendor at a price not to exceed ten thousand ($10,000.00); waiving competitive bidding.” A motion was made by Commissioner Blair, seconded by Commissioner Claybrook, that the Title and Resolution be approved.
