Mayor Harden declared a public hearing in session to consider an ordinance annexing into city limits a 3-foot strip of land located within street right-of-way.

Mr. Southard reported that the Annexation Committee had recommended annexing a three-foot strip in the right-of-way of Westech Road from Leo to Bethel Road and on Bethel Road from Westech to old Highway 270.
He explained that the reason is to protect the long-term economic interests of the city by protecting high growth corridors around the community.

Ms. Patricia Fisher, resident in the area, appeared in favor of the annexation.
There being no others to speak, the public hearing was closed.
Ordinance No. 2078NS was introduced and the title read aloud.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 7: Consider agreement with Wal-Mart for construction of access road.
City Engineer John Krywicki reported that he and the city attorney had reviewed the proposed contract with Wal-Mart regarding construction of the access road and the only change they were recommending was to change or delete Section 3 of the contract dealing with a timing schedule.
He relayed that the bids are scheduled to be opened in early January and the contract allows 60 days to complete the job. The City contractor cannot begin the project until the dirt work is complete; therefore, it could keep the city from completing the project by a specific date.
It was recommended that new language be added to state that subsequent to the completion of the construction by Wal-Mart, the city will have 60 days to complete the job.
Mr. McCaleb, representing Wal-Mart, agreed that that was a fair request and agreed to the changes.
A motion was made by Commissioner Harrod, seconded by Vice Mayor Downing, to approve that the agreement with Wal-Mart, with the
amended changes in accordance with the city’s requirements. Motion carried.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 12: Consider approval of the refunding of the outstanding refunding series 1993 bonds of the Pottawatomie County Development Authority. (Continued from 11-18-02 meeting)
City Manager Terry Powell stated that no action was required by the Commission at this time; and he explained about how the Pottawatomie County Development Authority (PCDA) did not feel it necessary to request bids for the bond underwriter for the refunding of their 1993 series bonds.
He informed that PCDA already had a contract with Oppenheim, a division of BOSC, Inc. to do the underwriting, and they were familiar with PCDA.
Furthermore, Oppenheim has agreed to do the underwriting for a fee of 1%, which is under the commanding market of 1.5% to 2% over the past 12 months.
To that end, the City of Shawnee would benefit from the refunding by a reduction in the total amount of interest to be paid on the bonds and possibly saving the city one million dollars by making an earlier payoff.
City Manager Powell advised that PCDA would go through the process and come back to the Commission for final approval before the bonds could be refunded.
AGENDA ITEM NO. 13: Consider Bids.
a. Shawnee Industrial Park Access Road (award)
City Engineer John Krywicki recommended that All Roads Paving, Inc. be awarded the bid based on three reasons: 1) they were the low bidder for curb and gutter paving; 2) this type paving adds only an 5.64% increase in costs; and 3) Shawnee Subdivision Regulations require curb and gutter street improvement be provided for platted subdivisions, which the Shawnee Industrial Park falls into this category.
A motion was made by Vice Mayor Downing, seconded by Commissioner Weaver, that the bid for the Shawnee Industrial Park Access Road be awarded to All Roads Paving, Inc., Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, in the amount of $431,042.70 for curb and gutter paving as the lowest and best bid. Motion carried.
