1. Set aside funds in the 2014-14 SMA budget to begin red cedar removal on city land around Shawnee Lake.
2. Invite Dr. Don Turton with the Oklahoma State University Oklahoma Water Resources Research Institute to speak to the City Commission about the results of their study on the Eastern Red Cedar’s impact on stream flow. (Commission Agee stated that Dr. Turton was available to speak at the April 15, 2013 City Commission meeting.)
3. Vote on a resolution of support for House Bill 1513 (authored by Rep. Richard Morrissette) which directs Career Technology Centers to provide training to inmates on harvesting red cedars.
4. Work with Pottawatomie County Commissioners and the Natural Resource Conservation Service on a plan to begin removing red cedars from city property in the watershed around the lake. (Commissioner Agee attended the County Commissioners meeting and stated the county is willing to work with the city to address the problem.)
5. Investigate the use of labor by work-release inmates as authorized by Senate Bill 1539.

Commissioner Agee also noted that Oklahoma County is already working with Oklahoma City to remove red cedars around Lake Hefner.
