Jim Bierd, Public Works Director, reported that water is being blended from the Shawnee Twin Lakes and Wes Watkins Reservoir.

Shawnee Twin Lakes level is down approximately 6.3 feet which is the normal pool. Coming down to the normal pool after drought and such extreme high temperatures is very good. Wes Watkins Reservoir is down approximately 5.3 feet with another 7.5 feet that it can go down before affecting the recreation level.
AGENDA ITEM NO. 13: Commissioners Comments
Commissioner Harrod inquired about the yield study progress. City Manager McDougal advised there would be a final meeting in November with the engineering firm then information would be presented to the commission.
Commissioner Harrod then inquired about the Hotel/Motel audit information received. Finance Director Cindy Sementelli reported this was the second year of the audit. The first year three properties were audited and this year there were four properties audited. One property was audited both years. The amount of the surcharge retained by the City of Shawnee pays for the audits.
Information on issuing some type of business licenses or permits was requested by Commissioner Harrod for the first meeting in November. He would like some way to monitor what businesses have sales tax permits and if they are remitting sales tax. City Attorney Mary Ann Karns advised with the new Oklahoma Tax Commission agreement we could receive listing of sales tax permits and collections. We will also be able to do our own enforcement on failure to remit sales tax and hotel/motel surcharge.
Mayor Peterson offered condolences to the families of the two Pottawatomie County Sheriff Reserve officers that lost their lives last Friday night. One of the officers, Mike Roberts, was a former city employee.
