03:08fiscal year of 39,379,22
03:13and total 894,42,265.
03:18I want to draw your attention to the 4%
03:21over projections right now. So we gained
03:24another tenth from last month
03:26>> and holidays are coming.
03:28>> Yeah. And then on the expenditure side

03:52receive the report.
03:59and I vote I.
04:08>> Motion passes. Thank you. Item 2 C,
04:10approve the maps for citizen advisory
04:12board 2027 meeting schedule.
04:17>> This is required uh that we post this or
04:20you approve this meeting schedule. We do
04:22it every year.
04:23>> Okay. Any questions? Okay. Take a motion
04:26in a second to approve.
04:35Okay. Um I
04:38I forgot my password so
04:41having to wing it here. Motion passes.
04:44Okay. Item 2D uh location update on the
04:47maps 4 street light project. One of the
04:50projects within maps 4 is street lights
04:52and it has been a bit of a challenge and
04:55AJ Kirkpatrick is here from ADG BLAT to
05:00um show you what some of those
05:01challenges are and how we have finally
05:04come up with an approach.
05:06>> Thank you. Uh good morning to everyone.
05:09Uh so yeah, David uh set it up
05:11perfectly. Um I had gone back yesterday
05:14and looked and we've been talking to
05:16various departments. Uh there are lots
05:18of departments that you need to weigh in
05:19on some of these things and we've been
05:21talking to them since uh 2024 on this.
05:24So this was our first attempt at trying
05:27to put some um additional meat on the
05:29bone um to what came out of the
05:31resolution on this item. So this is the
05:34full language for that sidewalks, bike
05:36lanes, trails, and street lights uh
05:38item. The specific language uh relevant
05:42today is highlighted down there in the
05:43bottom. Um, and it was council's intent
05:46to allocate $4 million to fund 10 years
05:48of operating costs related to the
05:51construction of approximately a thousand
05:52new street lights to be placed along
05:53arterial roads. So, important part of
05:55that uh I want to highlight there is
05:57they did specify that these need to be
05:58on arterial roads.
06:02And that's a lot to look at, I know, but
06:03that's the full budget for that um
06:06entire grouping of projects. And uh I'm
06:08bringing your attention there to the
06:09very bottom where street lights were
06:11pulled out in that $4 million.
06:14So in terms of like helping us start to
06:16get our arms around the uh scope of work
06:18here. Um this was an early estimate we
06:21were working with. I'll tell you that
06:22just this week um we did get uh the
06:26fuller detail and that $20 per month per
06:28light is actually pretty low based on
06:30what we're seeing. Uh but at the time we
06:32were guessing uh that that would be
06:34about 240 per light per year and then
06:362400 per decade per light. Um so that
06:40would um as I said there's many other
06:44factors that we're going to have to
06:45consider now in terms of how OG arrives
06:47at those costs. So that will eat into
06:49that a little bit more than a little
06:51bit. Um but we are still trying to make
06:53sure that we're getting um the thousand
06:55lights. That's still part of the goal
06:56that's in the resolution. So, in
06:59weighing all that, there are going to be
07:01circumstances that uh we're going have
07:02to look at in terms of additional uh
07:04construction costs that we have to pick
07:05up um if existing poles are not
07:08available. And then uh there's also some
07:10additional costs in terms of the fixture
07:12costs. So, when we're going to go out
07:14and look at these study areas I'm about
07:16to show you, we're going to be trying to
07:17weigh all that and keep some of those
07:19additional costs low.
07:24Uh in terms of starting to look at some
07:27of the factors that we wanted to
07:28consider in where to put these uh first
07:32of course in the resolution it says we
07:34need to be focused on arterial streets.
07:36uh we wanted to look at safety concerns
07:38that were already well known and then uh
07:41in terms of new development and
07:43potential infrastructure lag that might
07:44be in place where we're seeing uh lots
07:47of particularly residential new
07:49development and we haven't had uh the
07:51time to catch up to some of that uh as a
07:54city. Uh the fourth being any transit
07:57and bike improvements and lastly if
07:59we've got any known citizen requests for
08:01additional lights on arterials.
08:05So I wanted to highlight some data that
08:08we got from the planning department and
08:11this is uh the high impact network data
08:14that they got um as part of some of the
08:16work they were doing for the vision zero
08:17plan. Uh this is uh where an accident
08:21occurred and lighting lack of lighting
08:24was cited as one of the causes of that
08:26accident. So anywhere where there's red
08:30um is where that uh data pointed us. So
08:33you can see uh some of the the ones I'll
08:35just point out real quickly. Of course,
08:37we can't use this money on interstates.
08:39We're going to try to focus on the city
08:41controlled streets. Uh but that Mustang
08:43Road uh north of Mustang, basically
08:46between Yukon and Mustang, uh there was
08:48quite a bit in that north Reno and
08:51Northwest Tentth Street that we were
08:52trying to hit in what we're going to
08:54look at.
08:56Additionally, planning department was
08:58able to give us this really handy map
09:01showing housing growth in the city since
09:042020. And uh the areas in that more
09:08orange and red are areas where we've
09:11seen a lot of housing growth um in just
09:13the 2020s. So, we wanted to take those
09:16into consideration as well. In addition
09:17to the ones between Yukon and Mustang,
09:19uh, Northwest Expressway, uh, also look
09:23at the area down there in the very far
09:25south, uh, kind of west of Moore.
09:30And then, uh, we are also, of course,
09:32working in another part of maps 4 on the
09:35bus rapid transit and so we wanted to
09:37make sure that we were taking
09:38consideration that route. Uh so that is
09:41shown here in the light blue as well as
09:44the existing Northwest Expressway and
09:46Classen route. And then on top of that,
09:49we put all uh the ongoing bike projects
09:52in that pink color. And so wanting to
09:54make sure that we were looking at some
09:56of those as well.
09:59Then lastly, uh hopefully you all are
10:01aware that you can use uh the action
10:04center uh and its app and its phone
10:06number to report all sorts of uh
10:08municipal items. But uh we did uh reach
10:13out to the action center and asked them
10:14to share any uh requests that they had
10:17received recently uh on uh additional
10:21street lights. And so we called through
10:23that. A lot of those were on residential
10:24streets. So, we did call through that
10:25and uh pulled out all the ones that were
10:27on materials.
10:30So, that gets me to our recommended
10:31study areas. We ended up with uh 12.
10:34Those are highlighted in yellow here. Um
10:36I've left all those other uh data layers
10:40on there so you can kind of see how they
10:42overlay, but I'm going to walk you
10:44through each one of those really quickly
10:45here. And uh in terms of the base layer
10:48of the map I'm about to show you, we
10:50were able to find a nighttime aerial
10:52from a satellite uh that went over in
10:552024. U that's very helpful in seeing
10:58what nighttime lighting looks like. And
11:00so I'm going to zoom into each one here.
11:03Uh I'm bear in mind that when I am
11:05showing you these, I'm we're the study
11:08area I'm trying to define is the entire
11:10yellow bound area. So, I'm going to call
11:12it Northwest Expressway, but it's really
11:15about trying to get all of that growth
11:16on either side of Northwest Expressway
11:18and those arterials. Uh, we will be uh
11:21that purple item is to just reinforce
11:23that there is uh a portion of Northwest
11:26Expressway that is State Highway 3 and
11:29is under the uh management of ODOT. And
11:31so we will be very cautious about that
11:33and making sure that we're putting city
11:35resources where the city controls those
11:38where the city has control over uh those
11:41sort of responsibilities.
11:44The other area that we want to look at
11:46is north of Kilpatrick in the uh
11:48vicinity of Portland or Highway 74. Lots
11:52of growth. That was one of the other
11:54areas that had shown up very highly on
11:56that 2020 growth map.
12:00Uh this is generally centered on the
12:02area that's being redeveloped as the
12:04half uh on I235 going east and west uh
12:07into uh both directions there. Uh the
12:10pink again is bike projects. So there is
12:13a a portion of a bike project uh that
12:16comes into the study area as well. And
12:18then the red is that high impact network
12:20data where there was a an accident and
12:24low lighting was was listed as one of
12:26the causes.
12:29Fourth one is uh MLK uh north of 23rd is
12:33what we really started to focus on on
12:34this one. So this will be the northeast
12:37end of the B the new BRT. Uh in talking
12:40to public works about uh the ongoing
12:43streetscape project in 23rd Street, they
12:45felt pretty confident that that will
12:47increase lighting u on the 23rd Street
12:49portion, but especially as it turns
12:51north on MLK. Uh, I think you guys can
12:55probably all imagine that there's pretty
12:56low lighting and stretches of that up to
12:58the Adventure District. Uh, as a
13:00reminder, the BRT, depending on the
13:02night, could be running as late as
13:03midnight to 2:00 a.m. So, we want to
13:06make sure that people are feeling safe
13:07uh in that last mile of wherever they're
13:09trying to get to from their destination.
13:12And then also, there's some street some
13:14some bike lanes uh in that study area as
13:16well.
13:18Fifth one being Sooner and I 240. Uh
13:22there has uh you can see uh over to the
13:24left there, there is an area that popped
13:26up on that uh high impact network data.
13:28Uh but we're really going to be focused
13:30on the approaches to 240 in this area.
13:32There has been some residential growth
13:34in this area. Um as well as a proposed
13:36bike project there.
13:40Sixth one is Western and Southwest 134th
13:43Street. So this is that area that I
13:45called out earlier directly west of
13:46Moore. Uh but certainly lots of uh
13:49growth in this area and we already can
13:52see that there's some uh some traffic uh
13:55accident data there in that 134th street
13:57corridor.
14:00This one's uh this image is going to do
14:02double duty first. I'm talking about
14:04number seven which is generally defined
14:06as southwest 59th Street and South May.
14:08But uh this was really started as a
14:11study area because it is the southwest
14:13uh edge of the BRT. uh as it gets down
14:16to the Amazon facility. So you can see
14:19lots of red areas in that. Uh but same
14:22justification as that northeast area of
14:24just making sure that people feel safe
14:25right in the BRT late at night. And then
14:28the eighth one is um Grand Boulevard. So
14:31Grand uh you know has a unique uh
14:33history within our overall street
14:34network. It isn't you know one of our
14:36main arterials in the the grid network,
14:39but um it does show up as being fairly
14:41low light. Um, and we did recently as a
14:45city put in the bike ped path. And so we
14:48want to make sure people feel safe using
14:49that. And we also and once we put it on
14:51the list started hearing some stories
14:53about uh high school kids especially
14:55during this time of the year um having
14:57to walk to school in the dark. Uh so I
14:59want to make sure they feel safe.
15:02Uh number nine is the that Southwest
15:0515th Street in Portland. Uh this was a
15:08portion of Southwest 15th that was added
15:10fairly late in the history of our city.
15:12um that runs by the Dell campus um out
15:15to some of the Meridian hotels. For some
15:17reason, it showed up very heavily on
15:19that high impact network. It appears to
15:21be well lit based on the number of uh
15:23street lights, but we just want to go
15:24out and uh make sure uh what it looks
15:26like at night to see why it might be
15:28showing up this way.
15:31And then trying to capture that entire
15:33west corridor, uh northwest 10th and
15:35west Reno. You can see lots of red
15:37that's showing up out there. uh you
15:39know, a lot of that area is industrial,
15:40semi-industrial, but we also have lots
15:42of residential interspersed depending on
15:45the portion. Uh so want to make sure
15:47that um uh that we're looking at that
15:49entire area. There's also a bike project
15:51there on the north end.
15:53The 11th one is uh north and west of
15:57Lake Overholser as it uh we some of the
15:59arterials are approaching the
16:01Kilpatrick. Uh lots of red in that one
16:04as well. um and just want to make sure
16:06that there's safety in approaching that
16:08that um highway.
16:11And then last um that Mustang Road, and
16:14this is more than Mustang Road, it's
16:15really the entire area that has really
16:17blown up uh between Yukon and Mustang uh
16:20with residential growth, but that
16:22Mustang Road uh area definitely showed
16:24up in the high impact network data. Um
16:27so these are the 12. Um we tried to I
16:31didn't say that at the beginning but we
16:32did try to have a lot of geographic
16:34diversity in this in that sense that
16:35we're trying to catch all corners of the
16:37city. Uh we also uh looked at some of
16:40the land use typology areas uh that came
16:43out of the comprehensive plan and tried
16:45to be thoughtful about those areas of
16:47the city that uh where people are are
16:49moving out there to really have a rural
16:50uh uh type of of lifestyle. And so we
16:54tried to keep it in in more urbanizing
16:55areas.
16:58Okay, that's it.
16:59>> Thank you so much. Any questions,
17:02Chelsea?
17:06>> Thank you. Yep, that's on. Thank you.
17:08This is awesome to see. Um, having
17:10worked on the vision zero action plan,
17:11it's really cool to see it actually
17:13being in implemented in some of these
17:15next steps of city development. Um, I
17:17really appreciated how you layered on
17:19the different things including the high
17:20impact injury network as well as the um,
17:24uh, bus rapid transit and the bike
17:26things. Are is there an option to see
17:29like any upcoming streetcapes too and
17:31how they might impact these areas or I'm
17:32sure you might be looking at this
17:34already as you're researching the
17:36locations.
17:37>> Um, in in general, I mean, we can stay
17:39in contact with public works certainly
17:40about some of the upcoming streetscapes.
17:42In general, the conversations I've had
17:44with the project managers is that they
17:46feel like their street streetscapes are
17:47doing a pretty good job of increasing
17:48lighting in those.
17:50>> Perfect. Yep. That's a huge priority for
17:51the Northwest 23rd streetscape. So,
17:53Boston,
17:53>> that's what I assumed you were talking
17:54about that one.
17:55>> Yes. Yep. Cool. Awesome. Thank you.
17:57>> Any other questions?
17:59Okay. No, thank you so much. Appreciate
18:01you.
18:03>> Item 2E, recommend approval of
18:05memorandum of understanding with the
18:07Oklahoma City Airport Trust for the maps
18:09for beautifification phase two.
18:12One of the projects with
18:15beautifification is the Bessie Coleman
18:17garden
18:18and that will be at the airport. When we
18:21started design and working with the
18:24airport, they wanted to make it larger
18:27and and more prominent.
18:29Knowing that we had limited funds, they
18:31agreed to provide some funding so that
18:33we could do a larger um area around it,
18:38more landscaping, parking, and then
18:40build a road [music] to get to it
18:43because it is at
18:46it's at the end kind of at the end of
18:48the runway where you can see planes land
18:50and take off. So, there had to be some
18:52other work for that to happen and
18:53they've agreed to fund that.
18:56But, we're going to do the work. uh
18:58Gernzi is going to to do the engineering
19:00and and we'll bid it and construct it,
19:02but they're going to reimburse us for
19:05that funding. So, this is the agreement
19:08for reimbursement.
19:10>> Okay. Any questions? How much are they
19:13chipping in? What do you remember?
19:15>> Um
19:17it's several hundred,000.
19:19>> Good. Okay. Appreciate the partnership.
19:21Okay. If there's no other questions,
19:23we'll take a motion and a second to
19:25approve.
19:26>> [clears throat]
19:32>> I mean,
19:37the motion passes. Item 2F, recommend
19:40approval of final plans and
19:42specifications to be approved and
19:44advertised for bid for the maps for
19:46beautifification phase 2 airport
19:48approaches. Um, Mr. Todd.
19:52>> So, this is our first beautifification
19:54project. experts sending final plans out
19:56for Paul Ruckost and Kale Copeland are
19:58here to take you through what the plans
20:00include.
20:01>> Great. Welcome.
20:02>> Good morning. It's a pleasure to be back
20:03with you. So, we're going to talk about
20:06uh three projects are going to be bid as
20:08one. Um and there is a fourth which we
20:11just talked about which Bessie Coleman
20:12that will come hopefully next month for
20:14final plans. Uh we after the master plan
20:18for beautifification was approved last
20:20year, we began design. We've been
20:22working with uh multiple entities to
20:25kind of coordinate these projects and
20:27they were split uh so that we can get
20:30into final plans right now begin
20:32construction this uh early winter and
20:35have it constructed by the end of summer
20:38early fall.
20:41Uh as I mentioned we've been working
20:43with multiple entities to coordinate
20:45these projects. uh it's been there our
20:47site at the airport. We have parks that
20:50has provided input uh especially for
20:52maintenance aspects. Uh we've been
20:54working with beautifification planner,
20:57public works, ODOT and oeni on our uh
21:00multiple project sites.
21:03And I'm going to turn it over to Kayla
21:05to talk about the design for the rest of
21:07this presentation and I'll I'll close it
21:08up.
21:11>> Thank you. So we'll start our
21:13presentation jumping into the designs at
21:15the airport. Um on the screen you'll see
21:18a location for where we are improving
21:20the airport approach. This will be for
21:23those coming from um airport road
21:26exiting on Meridian on the north side of
21:28the airport going southbound to the
21:30terminal. Um right now you can see in
21:33the dashed areas the existing site. Some
21:36some landscaping exists there. Um it's a
21:40age crepe myrtles age landscaping and we
21:43really want to give it a refresh and
21:44beautifification here.
21:48So before and after a little bit, we are
21:50looking to redo the landscape and
21:53beautify this area um with multiple
21:56layers of different textures and colors,
21:58metal and rock and native landscape
22:01plantings.
22:04to give you an idea of scale because I
22:06think this is super important for what
22:08this approach is changing to and
22:10morphing into. If you were to go from
22:12one side of our court wall, which is
22:15that red two red lines on the screen, um
22:19that from edge to edge is 90 feet in
22:22length. Around our planting bed, we also
22:25have a landscape burm. This burm is 40
22:29feet in depth. So, this is a huge
22:32airport approach improvement. Um, as I
22:35was talking about layers, I'll walk you
22:37through. Um, the triangle piece or
22:40diamond shape, that's going to be a 18
22:43twoft tall um, stonemasonry wall with a
22:47planter. This will be um designed with
22:51the same stone that you find um at our
22:53airport. That well-known mixed colorful
22:56stone with u the angle the the
22:59rectangular uh design in it. We're going
23:02to mock that here and give a little um
23:05connection back to our airport. Behind
23:07it are the next two layers of 3 and 1/2t
23:11tall quartin retaining walls. together
23:14combined they're seven foot tall and
23:15that is how tall this area will be with
23:18the addition of the landscaping as well.
23:22Um we get a lot of height. Um we have
23:24some [clears throat] Shauny brave uh
23:26bald cypresses on the top. We expect
23:28those to get around 30 feet. Um so this
23:30will be around 37 feet all in on both
23:33sides. Um we're designing this um to
23:37have low maintenance plantings. We're
23:39using aggregate mulches [clears throat]
23:41um and different rocks throughout like
23:43different boulders all locally sourced.
23:47This is a beautiful view of what your
23:49entrance experience will become. Because
23:51of the scale of these improvements and
23:55uh the landscape on top, we're able to
23:57really give you that sense of arrival to
23:59our airport. We're designing this also
24:01where if future improvements were to
24:04come, maybe future signage or future
24:05lighting or future art, we can integrate
24:07that into this too through the layer
24:09system.
24:11So, we're flexible.
24:15Um, now we'll move over to the Reno
24:17area. Um, this area in particular, think
24:20the entrance to the boat house, Reno and
24:23Lincoln. Um, we're looking at that
24:26spaghetti of interstates above us and we
24:29are going to hone in on beautifying the
24:31median in this space right now. You can
24:34see it's just turf. Um, there are some
24:36existing crosswalks that we will be
24:38maintaining um throughout our project.
24:42Um, so we'll still have that pedestrian
24:44connection from the hotels through our
24:47space um on the Lincoln Boulevard
24:49intersection. Um but our design is
24:53focused on on connecting us back to the
24:56river where possible. So we have a
24:59serpentine design of a architectural
25:01element going through which I'll show
25:03some renderings of here in a little bit.
25:05Um surrounded by an aggregate mulch that
25:08is lowmaintenance, different textures,
25:10different colors and these pockets of
25:12landscaping. We've worked handinhand
25:13with the parks department. um they are
25:15the ones that currently maintain this
25:17space of what they can manage and we've
25:20worked with them to come up with a
25:21planting pallet and a mulching pallet
25:23that they are comfortable with.
25:27This is a viewing of um that sculptural
25:30element. These are going to be 4-in raw
25:32steel post with welded caps. Um the
25:36thought here is we are going to mimic
25:37the river adjacent to us and play homage
25:40to the boat house district and their
25:42water flowing there. So, it's going to
25:44be going up and down like the river is
25:46flowing um surrounded by these different
25:50um native lowmaintenance plantings and
25:52diff different aggregates and boulders.
25:57Another element that we are maintaining,
25:59I don't know if y'all remember, but we
26:01are also going to uplight this area. So
26:04this portal space between um this
26:07industrial zone all the way to Bricktown
26:10to the boat house district and their
26:11horizon. We're going to uplight these
26:13columns with the options of seasonal
26:16color and play that the city can use for
26:18placemaking and beautifification
26:21and we are focusing on the columns
26:23adjacent to our median in the columns
26:26within our median.
26:29And then the last project we'll share
26:31today um is on First American Boulevard.
26:35The photos show an existing side path
26:37that um um is used for the connection of
26:42the Oklahoma River Trail. So, but
26:44cyclists, runners, um walkers use this
26:47to safely cross um the river, but also
26:50connect back to our trail system. Right
26:52now, it is just concrete um and uh
26:56barriers and guardrail on each side.
27:02We are looking to add an accent panel
27:04system and these are going to have a
27:07very um decorative bend in them as well.
27:12They will be back lit and have a design
27:14pattern that has another wave connecting
27:17back to our project just down the
27:18street. We're connecting the two
27:20projects with our color palette, too. So
27:22these panels are a series of three
27:25patterns that come together to make one
27:26long story across the bridge. Um we have
27:30another wave that we're playing with and
27:32we chose a diamond cutout pattern to um
27:35connect back to the horizon district. It
27:37is bringing people to and from across
27:39this bridge. Um it's very sign
27:42significant pattern for um the first
27:44American culture and it is also in a lot
27:47of their architecture right now. Um
27:49you'll see this bend in the panel is
27:52connected to the existing wall via a
27:54bolt system. Um so if a panel is harmed
27:59or damaged, we're able to just simply
28:01unbolt it, put the new panel on. That is
28:04according to the pattern and it's a very
28:06easy swap for maintenance.
28:12There's just another view of those
28:13panels. Um this current width of the
28:16pedestrian path is nine or 11 feet nine
28:19inches. With retrumment of five inches
28:22of our panel, we still have um well over
28:26a good space for the pedestrian. We're
28:28not impeding that um that space and
28:32they'll have the slight glow um when
28:34they're viewing the Olympics. They're
28:35looking downtown to really see um some
28:38more beautiful elements of our city.
28:41And I'll hand off to Paul.
28:45All right. Just like to highlight that
28:46we are projecting to be just under our
28:49uh budget for this project. When we
28:51receive bids, we expect to receive those
28:53bids in December with construction
28:56contract being approved in January and
28:58hopefully beginning construction in
28:59February. Uh the contractor will have
29:02270 days to complete all three projects.
29:05Uh they can do it at the same time or
29:06whatever way they want to do that. Uh we
29:09should be able to have all the planting
29:10done and the projects complete by
29:12November. So any questions?
29:16>> Any questions?
29:18So I just had one question on the panel
29:20um of the bridge.
29:22>> How tall are those? So they look like
29:23maybe two feet
29:24>> and you might have said
29:27>> I think
29:29>> they're Yeah, they are around two feet.
29:31>> Yeah, that's great.
29:33>> I think it is exactly like one foot 10
29:35in.
29:36>> Okay.
29:36>> Yeah. [laughter] Got it. Okay. Um, if we
29:39have no Thank you so much. Appreciate
29:41your presentation. Um, so if we have no
29:45uh questions, I take a motion in a
29:47second to approve final plans.
29:55And I vote yay.
30:10Okay, the motion passes. Item 2G,
30:13recommend approval of amendment number
30:15one to architectural services contract
30:17with CH Gernzian Company for the maps
30:20beautifification phase 2 Bessie Coleman
30:23Garden.
30:24>> So we should have coupled ENG together
30:27because this follows up with
30:29>> with theou, but we didn't. Um, so this
30:33is $40,000 for them to do the design and
30:36that will be reimbursed through the
30:38agreement that we you previously
30:40approved. Got it. Any questions? Okay.
30:43If not, I take a motion in a second to
30:45approve.
31:02Motion passes. Thank you. Item 2 H,
31:05recommend approval of amendment number
31:07three and change order number 10 with
31:09EMC services for the MAPS for sidewalks
31:12and related amenities phase 1B for an
31:16increase of 152,26656.
31:22>> So this situation that you've seen
31:24before with sidewalks, we get contractor
31:27on board. We um well well when we bid
31:31it, it was less and we still have money.
31:34We get a contractor on board. We want to
31:36continue to build more sidewalks. So we
31:38find more u alignments for them and we
31:41need to adjust those quantities.
31:43>> Okay. Any questions?
31:46All like more sidewalks. Okay. If not, I
31:48take a motion and a second to approve.
32:12Do we have a second? Do I have a verbal
32:13second? Well, there we go.
32:23And I'm Yay.
32:29[clears throat]
32:35>> Motion passes. Thank you. Item two, I
32:38recommend approval of amendment number
32:40three and change order number five with
32:42Nash Construction Company for the maps
32:45for sidewalks and related amenities
32:46phase 2A
32:49um for an increase of $373,7325.
32:56>> Same situation, different project,
32:58different contractor.
32:59>> Okay, any questions?
33:01Okay, not take a motion in a second.
33:26Okay, motion passes. Item 2J, recommend
33:29approval of amendment number two in
33:31change order number three with Ellsworth
33:33construction OKC
33:36um for the maps for sidewalks and
33:38related amenities phase 2B for an
33:40increase of $29,295.74
33:45>> one more time.
33:46>> Okay, any questions? If not, I'll take a
33:49motion in a second.
34:03Okay, thank you. Motion passes. Item 2K,
34:06recommend approval of change order
34:08number one with Crossland Construction
34:10for the MAPS for use center phase one
34:13for an increase of $20,91244.
34:18>> Each project we figure the billing
34:19permit cost and include that in there.
34:23We missed the impact fees. So, this is
34:25to reimburse the contractor for the
34:27impact fees that he had to pay to get
34:29the billing permit.
34:30>> Okay. Any questions?
34:32>> If not, I'd take a motion in a second.
34:44>> I guess
34:47motion passes. Thank you.
34:50Item 2L, recommend approval of amendment
34:53number one to architectural services
34:55contract with Design Architects Plus,
34:57Inc. Maps for youth centers phase two
35:01for an increase of $56,000.
35:04>> So when we negotiated the contract for
35:07this youth center, we had the MAPS
35:09budget and did it as as we usually do.
35:13After that was approved, the bond issue
35:18was was approved and we get another 400
35:21$4.5 million into the project. So, this
35:24is to compensate the architect for that
35:26additional cost.
35:28>> Okay, any questions?
35:30If not, I take a motion and a second to
35:32approve.
35:45Okay, thank you. Motion passes. Item 2 N
35:49M recommend approval of change order
35:51number four with Downey Construction for
35:53the maps for CB Cameron Park
35:55Improvements for an increase of
35:57$35,291.52.
36:01>> This is a project that's under
36:03construction. Obviously,
36:05um, several items on here that are
36:07pretty much routine construction type
36:09items. The the one that stands out is
36:11the backflow pre. So, there was a
36:14existing line within the park and as we
36:17did the grading and those various
36:20activities, we had to replace that line
36:23and also the backflow pre that feeds the
36:26entire irrigation system for the whole
36:29soccer area.
36:31>> Okay, any questions?
36:33If not, I would take a motion and a
36:35second to approve.
36:48Okay, thank you. The motion passes. Item
36:512 N recommend approval of ratifying and
36:53approving agendas number one, two,
36:55three, and four for the maps for
36:57neighborhood and community parks phase
37:00one A and rejecting the bids.
37:02>> So items N and O are similar. Our first
37:05two parks projects that we sent out for
37:08bids. This doesn't happen to us very
37:10often, but they were over budget and we
37:14need to pull those back, make some
37:17changes and and send them out again.
37:19>> Okay. Um I I can tell you the first one
37:21was about 750,000.
37:23The second one was about 1.8 million
37:26over budget.
37:28>> Yeah. So significant.
37:30>> Okay. Um I'll any questions?
37:34If not, I would take a motion in a
37:35second to approve. Approve to reject.
37:49Motion passes. Thank you. Item 2,
37:51recommend approval of gratifying um
37:54ratifying and approving agendas number
37:56one, two, three, and four for parks
37:59phase 1B and rejecting the bids. Any
38:03questions? If not, I take a motion in a
38:05second.
38:21Okay, the motion passes. Thank you. Item
38:242P, recommend approval of amendment
38:26number two to the architectural services
38:28contract with Populace, Inc. for the
38:30maps 4 multi-purpose stadium um for an
38:34increase of $925,860.
38:38>> So, kind of similar to the youth center
38:40situation, uh we had a contract that was
38:43negotiated based on on earlier funding
38:48and subsequently more funding has been
38:50added to the project. architect has just
38:53been plowing along, working great and
38:56being a great partner, but it's time to
38:58get square with him with all this
39:01additional funding. So, this is
39:03negotiated with C with the architect.
39:06>> Okay, any questions? If not, I would
39:09take a motion and a second to approve.
39:22Motion passes. Item 2 Q recommend
39:25approval of amendment number two to the
39:27architectural services contract with
39:29Alfred Monah and Morris for the
39:32maps for family justice center for an
39:35increase of $12,240.
39:39>> If you [clears throat] recall last month
39:40we approved a new cook hood in there. We
39:46because we have the money and able to
39:47add that something that was value
39:49engineered out and this is to compensate
39:52the architect for the design of that.
39:53There was uh plumbing issues,
39:55architectural issues, structural things
39:57that needed to be adjusted.
39:59>> Okay. Any questions? If not, I would
40:02take a motion and a second to approve.
40:16And the motion passes. Thank you. Item
40:182R, recommend approval of amendment
40:20number one to the MAPS for homelessness
40:22program operating agreement with the
40:25Oklahoma City Public Property Authority
40:27and Oklahoma City Housing Authority.
40:30>> So, this is our our first amendment to
40:33what was established earlier. Greg Shen
40:35is going to take you through what's in
40:37this amendment. Good morning, Greg. How
40:39are you?
40:40>> Good morning.
40:42Nice cool morning to get started today.
40:44So, weather's wonderful right now.
40:46>> Um, can you go to the next slide,
40:48please?
40:49>> So, I'm here to talk about the first
40:52amendment to our operating agreement and
40:55I'll draw your attention to the projects
40:58that are uh that were relevant to this
41:01discussion and to the amendment. Again,
41:03these are the overarching goals of the
41:06program under the operating agreement.
41:09500 units of supportive housing, 1,500
41:12units of renovated public housing, and
41:15150 units of workforce housing. This
41:18amendment does not change any of these
41:21goals. Next slide, please. These are the
41:24locations of the investment areas and
41:27the again the amendment does not change
41:29any of the project locations or any of
41:32the investment areas um that you've
41:34already seen in previous uh
41:36presentations. Next slide please. This
41:39is the summary project schedule. All the
41:42projects on this on this schedule are
41:44current. We have four projects under
41:47construction right now. That is the
41:49preliminary site work and utility
41:52relocation at Crestston Park. This is in
41:55advance of the vertical um construction,
41:59but uh Crestston Park, we're doing the
42:01early [clears throat] demo and abatement
42:03and utility relocation. So, that work is
42:05going on right now. If you drive up MLK
42:09at uh Northeast 29th and 28th Streets,
42:13um you'll see that Vita Nova at 1800
42:16East Reno, the motel conversion for
42:18permanent supportive housing is under
42:20construction right now. They're making a
42:22lot of progress on that project. Um
42:25WeHost Alliance is under construction
42:28right now. That project is right across
42:30from the homeless alliance um day
42:33center. It's uh right there on the
42:35corner at Virginia and Fourth Street. Um
42:38you'll see that they're doing a lot of
42:40site work right now. They're getting
42:41ready to pour the footings on that
42:43project. And then uh in South Oklahoma
42:46City, um the West Haven Flats project.
42:49Uh that project is under construction
42:52right now and it's moving very quickly.
42:54So I just want to say that these time
42:56schedules are all still current right
42:58now and we have four projects underway.
43:01Next slide, please. So the projects that
43:04were coming under the amendment here is
43:06to come back and get formal approval to
43:09reallocate additional dollars to
43:12projects and get formal approval of
43:15those increased dollar amounts. This
43:17does not change any of the of the total
43:20allocation in the first or second
43:22allocation of $10.7 million. There's no
43:25overall budget change. [snorts] dollars
43:28were were reallocated to increase the
43:31amounts of MAPS funding committed to
43:34three projects. This was all reported to
43:37you previously. However, we took this to
43:39the subcommittee on Tuesday to get
43:41formal approval and now we're here in
43:43front of the citizens advisory board to
43:46give the same to give the same project
43:48updates and get approval of the same
43:51same again there's no change in the
43:52allocation to the first or second
43:55allocation. So the the original
43:57commitment at Vita Nova was was $3
44:00million and then we increased that by
44:04four $400,000.
44:06Um and so we ran into a lot of u
44:10inflation increases. We started
44:13incurring fuel delivery sir charges
44:16because of the price of uh of fuel. And
44:19then we had build America by America.
44:22That's what they call Baba. We have
44:23compliance with that. and that
44:27projects ac across the country are
44:29seeing about a 20% increase in the
44:31impact of construction projects related
44:34to Baba. So all of that forced us to
44:37allocate $400,000 of additional funds
44:40out of the second allocation. The first
44:43allocation of $10.7 million. We
44:45committed $3 million to the project.
44:47When we got the second allocation, we
44:49had to increase that by $400,000.
44:52Next slide, please. Um, at Oakrove
44:55Apartments, we originally um committed
44:58$1 million out of the first allocation
45:01to do the Oakrove project. Then we got
45:04our financing plan from the Oklahoma
45:07Housing Finance Agency. We got uh $43
45:11million in low-income housing tax
45:13credits and 30 $30 million in bonds
45:15allocated to this project. then that let
45:18us bring the financing plan forward to
45:20the Department of Housing and Urban
45:21Development because it's still public
45:23housing and we're converting it to
45:25affordable housing. Uh so the $1 million
45:28was really just a placeholder until I
45:30had a total development cost. Then in
45:33the second allocation, uh we're
45:35committing another $2 million to this
45:38project, which has a total development
45:40cost right now of over $115 million.
45:44Again, this is a project that's on 47
45:46acres. It's 288 units currently.
45:50[snorts] We have a partnership with ONQ
45:52where they're going to do commercial
45:53development across from the Dell plant
45:55on Southwest 15th Street. And then we're
45:58going to do new construction and add
46:00back 36 units on the same footprint. So,
46:03it will go from 288 units to 306 units
46:07in the total project.
46:09Uh, next slide, please. WeHost Alliance
46:13is uh is another permanent supportive
46:15housing project. It's a partnership with
46:17WeHost Alliance and uh when we were
46:20closing with Armstrong Bank, they had a
46:23for the construction loan, the project
46:25had a $350,000
46:27budget gap, they requested additional
46:30$350,000
46:32from the MAPS funding to be able to
46:35close on that construction loan with
46:38Armstrong Bank. So we committed another
46:40$350,000. So all of this was in the
46:43second allocation. They got no money in
46:45the first allocation. So in the second
46:47allocation, we originally committed 100
46:50$1,350,000.
46:52We added $350,000 of maps to bring one
46:55$1.7 million to the total commitment. Um
46:59so those are the increased explanations
47:02for each of these three projects. And
47:04now um next slide, please. I'm just
47:06bringing them forward uh for formal
47:08approval. Again, here's what we're
47:10looking at. The reallocation of $400,000
47:14retroactive to May of 2026 for Vita
47:17Nova, $2 million retroactive to August
47:20of 2026 for Oak Grove, and $350,000
47:24retroactive to May 26, May of 2026 for
47:28WeHost Alliance. This shows you in the
47:31second allocation, all of the funds are
47:33committed to projects. There are no
47:35remaining funds in the second
47:36allocation.
