Page 6: s/ Elaine Banes - Bartlesville, Oklahoma · 05/08/2015  · By volunteering and recognizing those who serve, we can replace disconnection with understanding and compassion. ... Bailey,

year. He also provided a report showing all CIP projects completed since the half cent extension began in 1999, totaling $32 million spent year-to-date. He then provided the staff recommended projects that will be included in the seven year option of the half cent sales tax extension. These projects were brought forward by staff and the volunteers who serve on the City’s authorities, boards, commissions, and committees. Mr. Lauritsen reported that $2,736,000 will be spent on equipment needs; $2,250,000 on drainage needs; $2,462,500 on facilities and Community Center needs; $6,100,000 on Park needs; $7,550,000 on Street needs. The overall total is $21,098,500 with revenue projected at $21,105,148.

Discussion covered the completion of the 2008 remaining projects as well as how the

improvements to Sooner Pool are discretionary and that the drawing used in the presentation was conceptual, not actual. Mr. Lauritsen stated that when the time came for the pool improvements, the actual plans will be approved and recommended by the Park Board.

Mr. Gordon inquired as to how much was left of the funds that the Bartlesville

Redevelopment Trust Authority (BRTA) uses for incentives for downtown development or redevelopment (approved by voters in 2005). Mr. Lauritsen reported there was approximately $170 to $180 thousand left. The improvements to 2nd Street are still in the planning stages, and Mr. Gordon and Mr. Lauritsen confirmed that the BRTA oversees these funds.

The Mayor opened the floor to the public at 7:42 p.m. There being no one appear to

speak, the Mayor closed the public input portion of the item at 7:42 p.m. Mayor Gorman addressed the needs of the Art Center located in Johnstone Park by

reporting that the City has funds set aside for building maintenance, and the repairs requested for the Art Center would be handled by that fund. Therefore, the improvements to this particular building will not be listed in the half cent extension capital improvement projects.

Mr. McGrew moved to approve the designated 70% and 30% projects as presented, seconded by Mr. Copeland.

Voting Aye: Mr. Copeland, Mr. McGrew, Vice Mayor Lockin, Mr. Mason, Mayor

Gorman. Voting Nay: None Motion: Passed 9. Consider and take action with respect to a resolution authorizing the calling and

holding of an election on June 11, 2013 in the City of Bartlesville, State of Oklahoma, for the purpose of submitting to the registered qualified electors of said city the question of approval or rejection of Ordinance No. 3304 of the city relating to the extension of a one-half of one percent (1/2%) excise tax (sales tax) through June 30, 3021, as more specifically set out in Ordinance No. 3304 of said city; and containing other provisions relating thereto. Presented by Mike Bailey, Administrative Director/CFO.

Mr. Bailey reported that the Special Election Proclamation and Notice, and the

Resolution were required by law. These documents provide that the voters will vote on

June 11, 2013 to extend the half cent sales tax for an additional seven years- effective July 1, 2014 and extending through June 30, 2021, as specifically set out in Ordinance No. 3304.

Mr. McGrew moved to approve the resolution authorizing the calling and holding of an

election on June 11, 2013 as presented, seconded by Vice Mayor Lockin. Mr. Copeland stated that by addressing the projects and holding the election one year

prior to expiration of previous extension provides planning opportunities and continuity. Voting Aye: Mr. McGrew, Vice Mayor Lockin, Mr. Mason, Mr. Copeland, Mayor

Gorman. Voting Nay: None Motion: Passed 10. Consider and take action to adopt an ordinance extending the levy of a one-half

of one percent sales tax which tax is currently levied and authorized by Ordinance 2716 and extended by Ordinance 2784, Ordinance 3001, Ordinance 3097, and Ordinance 3264 in addition to all other state, county and city sale taxes upon the gross proceeds or gross receipts derived from all sales to any person taxable under the sales tax law of Oklahoma including but not limited to certain enumerated sales listed therein; providing for subsisting state permits; providing for the purpose of the tax and earmarking the same; providing for effective date and duration of said tax; incorporating certain provisions of prior city ordinances; authorizing City Council to make administrative and technical changes and additions; making the tax cumulative; providing severability of provisions; requiring approval of this ordinance by a majority of registered qualified electors voting at an election held for such purposes as provided by law; and containing other provisions related thereto. Presented by Mike Bailey, Administrative Director/CFO.

Mr. Bailey reported that this action does not represent a tax increase, but just an

extension of the existing half cent sales tax used for capital improvement projects. Mr. McGrew commented that these projects cannot be afforded on the City’s operational budget; therefore the half cent is well used to maintain and improve the City. Mr. Bailey added that City Attorney Maddux and the City’s Municipal Finance Attorney Alan Brooks has reviewed all the documents and found them correct.

Mr. Gordon commented that the Community Center was built 30 years ago using a one

cent sales tax for five years. This initiative funded the building and endowment that they operated on. Mr. Copeland shared that the community’s investment in the Community Center all those years ago has benefited Bartlesville a great deal over the past 30 years. He added that the Community Center is well known regionally, nationally and even worldwide and considered to be a shining star to Bartlesville and the surrounding communities.

Mr. McGrew moved to adopt Ordinance 3304 as presented, seconded by Mr. Copeland. Voting Aye: Vice Mayor Lockin, Mr. Mason, Mr. Copeland, Mr. McGrew, Mayor

Gorman. Voting Nay: None

Motion: Passed Vice Mayor Lockin commented that now the City will need to get this information out to

the public. Mayor Gorman reported that he is speaking to the Civitan Club this week and that additional speaking venues will be sought out for other Council members and staff to attend and bring this information forward.

11. Discuss and take action to approve a Resolution of Support for H.R. 684

Marketplace Fairness Act (E-Fairness) by Rep. Steve Womak (R-AR) (and 47 cosponsors). Presented by Councilman Dale Copeland.

Mr. Copeland reported that healthy retail competition is a good thing, but that there are

times it gets out-of-balance. He continued by saying that the internet has brought about many challenges, one being when people purchase items and the businesses are not collecting and submitting sales tax on those items to the cities and towns it belongs to. There is also a Senate Bill that mirrors the House Bill and both are gaining bipartisan support to amend the 1992 Supreme Court decision that says a city cannot collect sales tax unless the business has a location in that city.

Mr. Copeland added that Oklahoma’s cities and towns are heavily dependent on sales

tax for operations. He added also that this is unfair to those businesses that support the community by collecting sales tax, as well as by supporting the schools, arts and all other aspects of their community. It has been estimated that Bartlesville loses $890,000 each year due to uncollected sales tax revenue from internet purchases. He concluded that this would not be a new tax, but would simply be requiring businesses to collect and submit sales tax which is that it is owed.

Mayor Gorman stated that the when he was researching the information, he was struck

about how Oklahoma is a rarity in the nation in that its cities rely only on sales tax to operate. The impact of not collecting this tax is much greater to Oklahoma cities than it is in other states of the nation.

Mr. McGrew reported he has found many people are not aware that by purchasing

items on the internet and not paying tax is illegal and considered tax evasion. Mr. Copeland commended Jessica Miller, City Editor to the Examiner-Enterprise, on the

job well done on her article about this item for the newspaper. Mr. Copeland moved to approve a Resolution of Support for H.R. 684 as presented,

seconded by Vice Mayor Lockin. Mayor Gorman stated his appreciation to Mr. Copeland for his diligence in researching

and bringing this forward. Voting Aye: Mr. Mason, Mr. Copeland, Mr. McGrew, Vice Mayor Lockin, Mayor

Gorman. Voting Nay: None Motion: Passed 12. Discuss and take possible action on a recommendation for the City’s Ad Hoc

Audit RFP Reviewing Committee. Presented by Councilman Dale Copeland.

This item was pulled from the agenda. 13. New Business There was no new business. 14. City Manager and Staff Reports Terry Lauritsen provided an update on the improved water levels at Hulah and Hudson

Lakes. We are now up to 70%. Voluntary water conservation is still in effect. Mr. Gordon provided the information for the upcoming Spring Clean-up from April 6-13;

the Operation Clean-House for disposal of hazardous materials on April 20; and reported that the polycarts will begin distribution April 15.

15. Remarks and Inquiries by Council Members. Mr. Mason reported that Hulah Lake looked much improved when he visited yesterday. Mr. McGrew asked for prayers for the family of a reserve officer whose son died

recently. The Mayor remarked he would now go and wash his vehicle since the lake levels were

improved. 16. Adjournment. There being no further business to conduct, Mayor Gorman adjourned the meeting at

STAFF REPORT ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT

TO: Ed Gordon, City Manager

FROM: Terry Lauritsen, Director of Engineering

DATE: April 10, 2013

SUBJECT: Amendment #1 to a Professional Service Contract with Keleher Architects for design services in conjunction with the proposed Operation Yard Improvements at 5th and Margarite

One of the priority projects approved by voters in the 2008 ½ cent sales tax extension election is improvements to the Operations Yard facility located at 5th and Margarite. The scope of the project is to remove several buildings within the operation yard facility and construct new buildings to organize staff into a central location as well as to allow the equipment to be worked on and stored in covered areas.

In October 2012, Council approved a contract with Keleher Architects to prepare a concept design of the facility. With the completion of this phase, staff is requesting Council authorization for a contract amendment, which is attached, to prepare the construction plans and specifications for the facility - funding for construction is scheduled next fiscal year. The contract amendment provides that Keleher Architects will complete the design services in 75 days for a fee of $82,000. The budget balance for design services for this project is $85,000, and sufficient for the proposed services. The concept design and site layout are attached.

Staff recommends approval of the professional service contract amendment with Keleher Architects.

Please schedule this item for Council consideration at its April 15th meeting.

Husky Portable Containment Incentive Proposal – New Facility Construction

Husky Portable Containment (HPC) was founded in 2004 in Skiatook, Oklahoma by industry veteran Jay Claeys and his wife Pam. HPC designs and manufactures portable, collapsible water storage tanks for onboard use by firefighters for situations where city water supply is unavailable (e.g. rural grass fires), and large ‘drive-over’ spillage containment systems for environmental protection (e.g. aircraft fueling operations).

With assistance from BDC, HPC relocated their manufacturing operations from 6,000 sqft Skiatook location to a leased 11,900 sqft facility in Dewey on March 20, 2009. The company continues to experience rapid growth – now limited primarily by lack of manufacturing floor space, and to a lesser degree, operating capital. HPC has determined that expansion of their current leased facility is not viable, necessitating their move to larger quarters within one year.

Currently, the company employs 19 at an average wage of $ 19.03 plus benefits. Based on current order backlog, HPC plans to hire 15 additional manufacturing workers upon relocating to a larger facility. To assist HPC with their expansion, and to insure that this growing company remains in the Bartlesville area, BDC proposes:

• Providing approximately 2.37 acres (Lot 14) in the Bartlesville Industrial Park

• $150,000 in the form of a forgivable loan allocated for construction of HPC’s planned $1 million, 20,000 sq. ft. facility construction.

The $150,000 cash portion will be structured as a forgivable loan on a 10-year term, carrying a fixed-rate of interest of 2%. BDC will recognize a cumulative annual credit of $1,000, plus accrued interest, for each net-new employee over your current baseline of 19 employees. Based on 15 new employees, the $150,000 balance would be forgiven (paid off through credits) in 10 years, with no cash payments from HPC required. As employee headcount will ramp-up, BDC will calculate the actual number of employees each year to determine the job-credit applied against the annual payments required to retire the loan over 10-years.

BDC will file a mortgage on the new building, subordinate to the primary lender, Central National Bank (Bartlesville). Preliminary site design and cost estimates have been developed by Ambler Architects and can be accommodated under existing infrastructure (e.g. no street extensions).

Central National Bank has approved the loan with construction funding ready to commence pending approval of BDC portion (equity). A sample amortization schedule is attached to illustrate job credits applied against the loan based on hypothetical NET NEW job creation.

Memo

Citizen Participation Plan CDBG 2013 April 16, 2013

Community Development Department

To: Ed Gordon, City Manager

From: Natasha Riley, Assistant City Planner

CC: City Council

Date: April 29, 2013

Re: Consider and take action on a Citizen Participation Plan for FY 2013 CDBG Small Cities Set-Aside Program

We were notified earlier this year that the Community Development Block Grant Small Cities Set Aside Program was extended for FY 2013. As you know, the City of Bartlesville has participated in this program for the past fifteen years and has been awarded grant funds in the amount of $1,509,772.67. These funds were matched with City funds (in the amount of $2,372,461.90) to assist in public infrastructure improvements in three qualified Census Tracts in west Bartlesville (specifically Census Tracts #2, #3, and #9) in the amount of $3,882,234.57. The attached spreadsheet provides details on the use of these grant funds. As part of the CDBG grant application and administration process, the City of Bartlesville is required to adopt a Citizen Participation Plan which sets forth opportunities for citizen involvement and input in this process. Please schedule the attached Citizen Participation Plan (updated from previous grant plans) for Council consideration at its May 6th meeting.

As set forth in this Plan, a public hearing will be held at the City Council regular meeting of June 3rd, 2013 to determine how FY 2013 CDBG grant funding will be used. At that time, staff will present information to the City Council on specific proposed projects that lie within the qualified census tract areas which are eligible for matching grant funding. Following any additional public input received during this public hearing, the Council will determine how to best utilize existing capital funds (including private donations) to leverage the dollar for dollar match provided by this grant program and will direct staff to proceed with the writing and submittal of a CDBG grant application for FY 2013, due to the State of Oklahoma by July 19th, 2013.

The level and type of assistance to be provided is at the discretion of the City of Bartlesville and does not necessarily include providing funding to such groups.

B. Specific Actions: Specific actions which will be undertaken by the City of Bartlesville to meet the requirements of this Citizen Participation Plan include the following:

1. First Public Hearing. The first public hearing for the purpose of soliciting public input in the

application of CDBG Small Cities Set-Aside Program funds for FY 2013 will be held on Monday, Jun 3rd, 2013 at 7:00 p.m. at the City Center Building, 401 S. Johnstone, Bartlesville, OK.

grant, if awarded, will be available in the office of the Community Development Director for the City of Bartlesville during normal business hours excluding holidays and weekends. All grant records will be available for review to local citizens.

5. Needs of Non-English Speaking Residents. According to the 2010 Census data, only 881 persons,
