SHAWNEE AIRPORT AUTHORITY:
AGENDA ITEM NO. 1: Consider acceptance of EDA grant funding
and providing match for Shawnee Regional Airport Terminal.
Mr. Greg Clifton, Executive Director of COEDD, addressed the Commission regarding the E.D.A. grant. As Mr. Clifton explained, the City had applied for an E.D.A. grant in the amount of $325,000 to provide infrastructure improvements for the Vanguard Stimulation Services project. However, due to timing issues, funds were provided to Vanguard from other sources.
Subsequently, the grant process continued with the City of Shawnee being awarded an “invitation to apply” for the grant. However, since the grant was no longer needed for the Vanguard project, permission was obtain to change the project from Vanguard to the building of a new terminal at Shawnee Regional Airport. The next step in the grant process will be the submission of a full grant application. Mr. Clifton stated that once an applicant has been “invited” to apply, it is most likely that the grant will be awarded.
The cost of the terminal is set at $650,000. The E.D.A. grant amount of $325,000 is a 50/50 match. The Oklahoma Aeronautics Commission has already committed $275,000 to this project and these funds are eligible to be used by the City toward the match. The remaining $50,000 needed for the City’s match can be taken from funds already allocated for the terminal building project.
Mr. Clifton indicated that he would apply for the grant on behalf of the City. Vice Mayor Peterson stressed the importance of communication between city officials and Mr. Clifton regarding grant status.
A motion was made by Vice Mayor Peterson, seconded by Commissioner Holt, to continue with the E.D.A. grant application process and to change the project from Vanguard Stimulation Services to Shawnee Regional Airport Terminal project. Motion carried 4-0.
AYE: Peterson, Holt, O’Neal, Mills
NAY: None
AGENDA ITEM NO. 2: Adjournment.
There being no further business to come before the Airport Advisory Board, a motion was made by Vice Mayor Peterson, seconded by Commissioner Holt, that the meeting be adjourned. Motion carried 4-0.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 4: Work session to discuss the City of Shawnee water system needs and funding.
Utility Director Jim Bierd gave a presentation regarding future needs of the Water/Wastewater System.
Mr. Bierd spoke in detail regarding needs in the areas of water distribution, wastewater collection, Northside Wastewater Treatment Plant, Southside Wastewater Treatment Plant and personnel. Listed among future projects for consideration are the construction of a new water transmission line, a new one million gallon water tower and the repair/replacement of the Southside Wastewater Treatment Plant. Mr. Bierd estimated the total cost of needed improvements at $42,243,000.
City Manager Jim Collard explained the options for funding these needs as rate increases, impact fees and/or other methods such as sales tax increases, G.O. bonds and Federal/state assistance.
Dr. Collard further explained that in order to identify the best method(s) to fund these projects, three studies would be needed:
a. Rate Study. The City has already begun this process and Request for Proposal documents were mailed out and will be opened on March 24th . The cost of fuel, chemicals, salaries, benefits, supplies and maintenance are considered in the rate study.
b. Water/Wastewater Master Plan. Population projections, business expansion, availability/supply are considered in this study.
c. Impact Fee. An impact fee is a charge on new development to pay for the construction or expansion of improvements that are necessitated by and benefit the new development. The study is based on future demands on the system, water plant capacity increases and major equipment needed.
Dr. Collard updated the commission regarding the Sardis water coalition. He stated that the City of Shawnee’s portion of the engineering study is estimated to be $37,500, with the total cost of the study being one million dollars. He indicated that the process has been slow, but estimates the study will be completed by late summer this year.
Vice Mayor Peterson suggested that the mayor utilize the citizens’ advisory group to oversee the City’s future water needs and issues.
