AGENDA ITEM NO. 2: Mayor’s Proclamation.

“City Wide Clean-up Month”
October, 2003
(accepted by Tom Terry, Beautification Committee Chair)

AGENDA ITEM NO. 3: Public hearing and consider an ordinance annexing properties located east of Bryan Street between Independence and ½ mile north of MacArthur Street. (Applicant: City of Shawnee).

Mayor Harden declared a public hearing in session to consider an ordinance annexing properties located east of Bryan Street between Independence and one-half mile north of MacArthur Street.
For informational purposes, it was noted that the Annexation Committee recommended the annexation of properties in Section 4 and Section 9 in order to square off the city limit boundaries. These areas are completely or partially surrounded by the current city limits through various annexations over the last 15 years.
Further information relayed that in some cases, a partial lot or even a house is in the city limits while some of the property is outside the city limits. By annexation many situations would be resolved.
The Planning Commission recommended assigning a zoning classification of A-1 on most of the properties and some were recommended as C-3 for commercial lots along MacArthur Street; and the properties surrounded by Granada, Tanglewood, and Cedar Creek neighborhoods are recommended to be RE, Rural Estates.
Upon opening of the public hearing, the following residents appeared in opposition to the annexation and during the hearing, Community Development Director Mike Southard, on behalf of the City of Shawnee, the applicant, answered questions from the residents.
Those appearing in opposition included: Joe McKimmey, Danny Landreth, Eva Douglas, Ken Kerbo, Donna Russell, Darin Sparkman, and Corey Lumry.
The overall common opinion was that by annexing their properties, they did not see any benefits offered by the city, only that there would be many restrictions.
Several of the residents own businesses in the area and they voiced concerns that being annexed would put them out of business due to the many requirements and restrictions of the city codes. Some were anticipating expanding their businesses and that brought up the issue of at what point in the process would the city consider a building in progress.
There being no others to appear, the public hearing was closed.
In discussion, Commissioner Pettyjohn commented that they city planner was trying to move forward, but with the many responses of the residents, he wanted to represent the will of the people.
City Commissioners Peterson and Weaver, members of the Annexation Committee, offered explanations why they as part of the committee, made their decisions based on the overall welfare of the City of Shawnee.
Thereupon, a motion was made by Commissioner Pettyjohn, seconded by Commissioner Harrod, to deny the annexation ordinance. Motion failed.
AYE: Pettyjohn, Harrod
NAY: Harden, Weaver, Peterson, Downing

Then, a motion was made by Vice Mayor Downing, seconded by Commissioner Weaver, that the annexation ordinance be approved.
Before voting, further discussion ensued about the service Plan previously discussed. Upon City Attorney John Canavan’s opinion, a thorough Plan had not been clearly identified, and that should be done.
Community Development Director Mike Southard noted that there was no commitment on the City’s part for water lines to be placed on Bryan Street.
Based upon issues arising from the two-hour discussion, Commissioner Weaver withdrew his second to the motion to approve the annexation ordinance. Vice Mayor Downing held firm to his motion, thereupon, the motion died for lack of a second.
Concluding, a motion was made by Commissioner Weaver, seconded by Commissioner Harrod, that the annexation ordinance be deferred to the next meeting of October 20, 2003, including the service Plan and determination of when the construction would begin. Motion carried.
AYE: Weaver, Harrod, Harden, Peterson, Pettyjohn
NAY: Downing

AGENDA ITEM NO. 8: Consider staff recommendation regarding rebate for Granada Country Estates/Tanglewood/Cedar Creek/Coronado Terrace Water District property owners.

City Treasurer/Finance Director Terry Compton presented the staff recommendation regarding rebate in the water district eastside of the city.
Before giving the recommendation, he gave an overview of what had transpired in the year 2002 when the water district was created.
Although Mr. Compton was not the city treasurer at that time, he researched the history, and noted that on May 6, 2002, two ordinances were passed by the Commission pertaining to the assessment of construction costs in the Granada Country Estates, Tanglewood, Coronado Terrace, and Cedar Creek water improvement district.
Ordinance No. 2053NS assessed a $4,238.72 fee to the original 137 lots within the district and Ordinance No. 2054NS established the payment rates for those persons outside the district and those within the district who were not part of the original assessment.
He advised that neither of the two ordinances addressed the rebate. He stated that staff had listened to the tape of the meeting and although it was discussed, no action was taken regarding the rebates.
Mr. Compton advised that now some of the property owners in the original assessment have requested a rebate of their initial cost when new property owners tap into the facilities.
City Treasurer Compton gave staff’s recommendation that no rebates should be issued to any parties paying an assessment fee to participate in this water improvement district for the following reasons:
a. Connection to the city water system enhances the value of the lots in the district and the cost of the assessment should be recoverable when a lot is subsequently sold;
b. The city attorney has researched this issue and with other cities and found that rebates for water district assessments are not common practice;
c. Assessments for new taps into the system are not intended to recover initial construction costs and redistribute them to the original 137 customers. Rather, these fees are for continued maintenance and construction necessary to provide water services to the district.

After receiving staff’s recommendation, Mr. Neal Martin, one of the original owners who requested the water district, was allowed to speak regarding the rebate.
Mr. Martin distributed his proposal regarding the rebate and informed the Commission that city staff and he never met regarding his proposal.
Upon discussion, the Commission agreed that city staff meet with Mr. Martin to review his proposal and report back at a later meeting.
A motion was made by Commissioner Pettyjohn, seconded by Commissioner Harrod, that this item pertaining to rebate for Granada Country Estates/Tanglewood/Cedar Creek/Coronado Terrace Water District property owners be deferred to the November 3rd meeting. Motion carried.

The fire chief stated that the city has the opportunity to go to bid with the City of Midwest City on the same or similar unit that could save the city $15,000 to $25,000. The expected cost would be in the $425,000-450,000 range and take about nine months to build the unit.
