WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:03.359 And good morning, good morning, good morning, and welcome, welcome, 2 00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:08.400 welcome. It is a time now for our community connection right here on K 3 00:00:08.599 --> 00:00:14.519 one, the one you trust and with his in studio for city matters community 4 00:00:14.519 --> 00:00:19.120 connection. It is Ward two City Council there at Lauren Rosel. How are 5 00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:21.519 you doing there, guy? Good? How are you this morning? Well? 6 00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:24.359 Every day above grounds a good one. But I'm starting to have second 7 00:00:24.359 --> 00:00:28.120 thoughts some days with technology. But Dad, I'm doing okay. Now. 8 00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:31.120 You had a busy night last night. It was a busy night, had 9 00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:33.759 a great meeting, got a lot of good things done, accomplishing good things 10 00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:36.320 for the city. Oh good. Now, First of all, it can't 11 00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:40.520 get any better than this. When he started talking cheesebag, are you talking 12 00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:45.079 about something close to my heart and my heart attack? Water Burger coming to 13 00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:48.280 town? Water Burgers coming to town. The city council last night. It 14 00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:53.000 proves him in sentis through the BDA to help bring and open up a water 15 00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:55.799 Burger here on Highway seventy five year in Bartis. Well, that's a great 16 00:00:55.799 --> 00:00:59.640 addition to our for our retail economy. I understand it's gonna be like kind 17 00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:03.240 of like it across from your house and you're gonna like hunger pangs all the 18 00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:06.439 time. Yeah, and my diet may be vari at risk and don't tell 19 00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:08.000 my doctor every time I go stop and get a water burger. But it's 20 00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:12.040 going to be right there by my house on seventy five. Also a Neil's 21 00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:17.719 Home store. Now, this is a nice almost like a department store at 22 00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:23.319 least has two departments furniture and you're electronics. Yeah, so this is going 23 00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:26.480 to be a really nice edition. BDA has worked really hard identifying retail gaps 24 00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:30.560 we have here in town. One of the retail gaps we have is this 25 00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:37.439 kind of home furnishings, home furniture store opportunities. We're sending a lot of 26 00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:41.239 people down south to spend their dollars down south and set us keeping them here 27 00:01:41.239 --> 00:01:45.680 locally. So this Neil's Home store fills that gap in our retail and it's 28 00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:48.120 going to keep a lot of dollars here locally. We're gonna help them go 29 00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:53.400 into that old Loftist Bob Loftist furniture store in Eastland. That's a nice building. 30 00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:56.959 It's a great building, good location, got some nice storefront on Highway 31 00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:00.120 seventy five visibility. So that's going to be really good location form. We're 32 00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:04.599 excited to help them get opened up here and keep those dollars here in Barswell. 33 00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:09.560 That's really cool. Now. The BDA that stands for Barnsville Development Authority, 34 00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:15.280 the Barsville Development Authority. Now there is some kind of misconception out there 35 00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:19.919 that they're only there to grab businesses and bringing to Bartlesville, but they're also 36 00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:23.919 here to help existing businesses expand if they want to do that. Absolutely so. 37 00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:30.360 They have a mission to fill gaps in our retail and bring jobs and 38 00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:35.520 industry and new businesses here to Barsville. But they're also here to help all 39 00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:38.159 of our local businesses. Any of our local businesses can reach out to them. 40 00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:43.280 If they're looking for helping, the opportunity to expand, to change locations, 41 00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:46.520 or anything like that, they should reach out to the BDA and see 42 00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:50.879 if there can be some assistance for our homegrown businesses. Speaking them home, 43 00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:54.960 water boy, we had what I would call an aggravating rain last week. 44 00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:59.479 I could see that, you know, there was rain on the sidewalk, 45 00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:01.479 rain on the road, but every time I went outside, I couldn't feel 46 00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:06.680 it. But I could see that we had some precipitation. It really didn't 47 00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:09.080 help our problem out. Well, you know, it really didn't help us 48 00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:12.400 much. My grandpa would have called it a garden rain. It helps your 49 00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:15.919 garden, so nice, slow drizzly rain that soaks up in your garden, 50 00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:19.960 gets down deep and helps the things turn green. But unfortunately, because we've 51 00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:22.960 been so dry, we haven't put that rain, didn't put a lot of 52 00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:27.080 water back into our lakes. And so we're still looking at about fifty six 53 00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:30.439 to fifty seven percent of our water supply stage right now. So we're still 54 00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:37.599 in phase three with our water conservation efforts here in town. I'm looking at 55 00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:44.879 Wednesday night into Thursday and the Thursday night and on the weather and it looks 56 00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:47.120 like we have a chance of showers and thunderstorms, but it doesn't look like 57 00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:50.639 anything too heavy. What do you think we need two or three days of 58 00:03:50.759 --> 00:03:53.520 that torrential stuff. Yeah, we need a couple of days of torrential day 59 00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:57.479 for the lake. Right Yeah, it's Sedan, Kansas is the primary target 60 00:03:57.520 --> 00:04:00.439 for our rain if we can just get a good rain storm for a couple 61 00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:04.919 of days right over Sada and Kansas City manager was talking last night that he 62 00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:09.680 looked at kind in the driest places in Kansas list of the driest places in 63 00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:12.680 Kansas, and Sadan, Kansas was on the top of the list. So 64 00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:15.319 we need a good, good solid silken rain up there in Sadan, Kansas. 65 00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:18.279 There we go, Here we go. Okay, this kind of got 66 00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:21.639 my attention. Whenever I see FCC, I keep thinking, you know, 67 00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:26.600 like the radio cops are going to come and give me a fine because because 68 00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:29.879 there was a time where I probably should have gotten wood when I was much 69 00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:33.199 younger. But this is first Christian Church, First Christian Church. Yeah, 70 00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:38.319 so last night to city Council, I want to thank the people that worked 71 00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:42.519 on the committee looked at the proposals for use the RFPs that were put in 72 00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:46.040 for the First Christian Church. We had six RFPs. The committee looked him 73 00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:53.560 over and suggested one of those proposals to the city council. It's for Buffalo 74 00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:59.879 Rome Company that's doing some studio space. They're doing some film school and education, 75 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:02.839 and they're doing some editing bays. They've got a really good business plan. 76 00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:08.720 This industry is growing in Oklahoma. The film industry is taken off. 77 00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:12.240 There's a lot of state incentives that can be put towards this kind of project. 78 00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:16.439 It's definitely something the City Council would like to see happen here in Barnsville 79 00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:20.439 to take advantage and to bring those dollars to Barnettsville. It's going to be 80 00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:25.480 all a question of how do we fund that? And I know in the 81 00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:29.480 past there's been some proposals that we might do a two million dollar general obligation 82 00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:32.519 bond to help that happen. Last night I talked to the City Council and 83 00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:35.639 kind of my views are that this business is a great business, a great 84 00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:38.720 industry, and we'd love to bring it to Barsville, and we want to 85 00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:42.480 capitalize on this. But we already have economic development engines, just like we 86 00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:46.160 were talking about with the Barswelle Development Authority and the Barswell Redevelopment Trust Authority. 87 00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:53.199 Those are economic development engines. Those we're already putting tax dollars into those engines 88 00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:57.720 and those funds to help businesses here in town, help bring businesses into town. 89 00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:00.120 So I would really like to see um, and we're going to try 90 00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:03.240 to get everybody at the table and start talking about how we can use those 91 00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:09.759 economic development funds instead of going hat in hand to the taxpayer and saying, 92 00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:13.680 okay, take on another additional tax burden for economic development when we already are 93 00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:16.000 funding it with tax dollars. If I'm going to go to the citizens and 94 00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:19.079 say I want you to take on some general obligation bonds, I'm going to 95 00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:23.480 ask you to help me repair a lot of streets. So fully fund our 96 00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:28.279 police department, fully fund our fire department, get our emergency services funded, 97 00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:32.279 do streets and trash and things like that. That's our core infrastructure, and 98 00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:35.279 that's where I feel we should be concentrating our bond capacity. And that's what 99 00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:40.360 I'm going to work for in bonds instead of doing economic development through bonds. 100 00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:45.600 Okay, So, if we get a movie studio here in town, plans 101 00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:50.199 on changing the name to like Bardie Wood or Hollyville. What was the name 102 00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:55.639 they were talking about last night, Like a Hollywood, Oklahoma Hollywood or something 103 00:06:55.680 --> 00:07:00.399 I like that. Yeah, so ire, this is a really unique opportunity. 104 00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:09.639 There's only about five sound stages that are usable for big commercial movie productions 105 00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:13.759 in the state of Oklahoma, only one in this area right now, in 106 00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:19.199 the northeastern Oklahoma area and Owasso, and it's not Tulsa. But if we 107 00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:23.079 build this one in the way they plan to build it. We will have 108 00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:28.360 a larger sound stage, a larger studio facility, and plus we get the 109 00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:31.800 great benefit of doing a film school along with it, so there's learning opportunities 110 00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:35.600 for people to get skills into the film industry. There's a lot of state 111 00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:40.600 tax dollars out there that can be put with funds, so there's tax credits 112 00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:43.480 and from the Cherokees that can also be put there. So this is a 113 00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:46.360 really great opportunity for Barswoll. We want to do this, but we want 114 00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:49.079 to do it in the right way. Got it. I understand Bartlesville next, 115 00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:56.360 it's that that's the strategic plan. And you know when when the fellow 116 00:07:56.399 --> 00:08:00.920 first came into town and started making the proposal for you know, seeing what 117 00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:03.240 we maybe need to work on them, what have you. I'm telling the 118 00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:05.800 younger fellows, the younger reporters, they said, this is kind of a 119 00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:09.839 big deal. Oh this is huge, and they're like going, I don't 120 00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:13.800 get it. Well, you have to know where you're going in order to 121 00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:18.879 go someplace. Absolutely, GPS for year down. It's absolutely it's a roadmap 122 00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:20.399 for our town. I like to call it a roadmap for our town. 123 00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:24.399 The city staff a couple of years ago, a city manager came to us 124 00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:26.720 and said, we want to create a strategic plan. We started having conversations 125 00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:31.879 with community members, businesses, and others in our town to talk about what 126 00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:35.360 the strategic plan for our town is, what's the strategic vision, and as 127 00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:37.759 we move forward into that here in the last couple of months, the city 128 00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:41.639 staff has given us some specific projects that they want to work on, specific 129 00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:46.559 items that fit into that strategic plan, and they've laid them all out for 130 00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:50.200 the city council, and the city council approved that strategic plan and those projects 131 00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:54.000 inside that strategic plan. Last night, they came to us and they gave 132 00:08:54.120 --> 00:09:01.360 us those and they are going to start putting them the each of the objectives 133 00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:05.879 in our packet every week and how far along we are, what protin EAGs 134 00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:07.440 complete, those are, where they stand, and how they're moving along. 135 00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:11.080 So we'll be reviewing those every month about how we're moving along with our strategic 136 00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:15.720 plan. And I love that because it lets our city and our people know 137 00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:20.159 that we're doing great things. We're moving forward a plan and we're going along 138 00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:24.000 that roadmap. So when we look at projects that come at us and are 139 00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:28.759 being considered, we can see how those projects fit into our strategic plan and 140 00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:33.120 we go down that path of kind of coordinated growth. I see where that's 141 00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:39.039 coming from. And it's all about keeping being orderly in your growth because if 142 00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:43.039 you have explosion, yeah, it gets messy. I've seen towns do that. 143 00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:46.600 Oh absolutely, I think we need to be very strategic and how we 144 00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:52.039 build and grow Bartlesville. Sidewalk ordinance moratorium. What's this all about. Well, 145 00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:56.399 so about a year and a half to two years ago, the city 146 00:09:56.399 --> 00:10:01.279 Council passed to some sidewalk ordinances dealing with when people have to put in sidewalks, 147 00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:03.960 when the when the city has to lay down sidewalks, things like this. 148 00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:09.120 It's caused the city to kind of have some disjointed sidewalks, some sidewalks 149 00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:13.159 to know where out there. Yes, we've all seen them. And it's 150 00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:16.960 also maybe been a barrier for some people to be able to do anything with 151 00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:22.360 their properties because the sidewalks maybank could cost prohibitive to to do what they want 152 00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:26.000 with their properties, to remodel, to redo the faces of their properties. 153 00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:31.279 So the city that our new city Development Director, Larry Curtis came to us 154 00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:35.600 last night and said, Hey, I want to ask you just to pause 155 00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:41.720 and to take a moratorium on that sidewalk ordinance for six months so that we 156 00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:46.679 can take a look at our whole, our whole sidewalk ordinances and where we 157 00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:50.799 have them in all of our requirements, and redefine them, redevelop them and 158 00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:56.360 make them work for Bartlesville and make them better. So we're going to take 159 00:10:56.399 --> 00:11:01.039 a pause on sidewalk ordinances unless there's a couple of cases, like if the 160 00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:05.759 neighborhood's less than twenty years old, been plotted within the last twenty years, 161 00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:09.600 or if it's within one hundred feet of another sidewalk that it can connect to. 162 00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:11.799 Things like that. There are some exceptions, but for the most part, 163 00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:16.080 we're gonna pause and do a moratorium on our sidewalk ordinance. Very good. 164 00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:18.919 We're gonna take a quick pause right here, and when we come back, 165 00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:22.480 we're going to talk about some openings on boards and commissions and a little 166 00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:26.679 something special. You got cooking right so right after these words from Arnold Bore 167 00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:30.320 and you can't funeral home right here on K one, the one you trust. 168 00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:33.840 The first conversation I have with someone's loved one, I don't care if 169 00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:37.440 it's three o'clock in the afternoon or three o'clock in the morning, that first 170 00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:41.919 conversation is mister X, this is Tim how with Arnold Moore and you can't 171 00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:45.879 funeral home. First of all, sir, let me say I'm very sorry 172 00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:50.159 we're having to have this conversation right now. And to the nth degree, 173 00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:56.679 those people always appreciate you taking a moment to just pause and say I'm aware 174 00:11:56.799 --> 00:12:01.000 that someone you care about very much has just ft and I'm sorry that we 175 00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:03.960 have to do this, but we have to do this. And if it's 176 00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:09.480 three o'clock in the morning, I try to be brief but concise and say 177 00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:13.799 do you have any questions or anything I can do for you right now before 178 00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:16.120 we meet at our arrangement conference. And sometimes I'll say, you know, 179 00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:20.879 can you call my priest? Can you call my pastor? And I don't 180 00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:22.879 mind doing that. It'll be all right. We'll walk through this together, 181 00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:28.240 Arnold Moore and knee Camp Funeral Home seven ten Dewey Martels of It. We 182 00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:35.639 will walk through this together and welcome back to city matters. We have Lauren 183 00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:39.559 Roselt from more than Too in with this, and I understand if people want 184 00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:41.159 a piece of the action. They want to they want to be a moving 185 00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:46.000 part of this thing we call a city government. We do have boards and 186 00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:52.200 commission openings. Absolutely, our government in our city doesn't function without the volunteers 187 00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:56.120 and the people participating in that process. And they can really get involved in 188 00:12:56.200 --> 00:13:01.320 our city and helping our city in our city government if they volunteer for some 189 00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:05.480 of our boards and commissions. Right now, we've got a opening on our 190 00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:11.279 Barswelle Bartlesville Area History Museum Trust Authority. That's a really long name, but 191 00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:15.320 that's a really cool place to our Barswell Area History Museum. We've got a 192 00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:18.200 spot open on the Convention and Visitors Bureau Board, the Visit Bartlesville Board. 193 00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:22.279 I used to be on that board. It's an exciting and a cool place 194 00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:26.240 and to help our city, our visiting dollars really help generate revenue here for 195 00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:31.320 us in sales tax and other places. So that's a really cool one that 196 00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:33.240 you can get involved in. We've got openings on the Park board, and 197 00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:37.320 we've got two openings on our Adjustment Board of Adjustments. If people want to 198 00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:41.720 get involved, there's a application that can fill out online in the City of 199 00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:45.960 Barsville's website or they can go up and see a lane lane bangs up there 200 00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:50.120 and get an application. Fill out an application, and we will consider and 201 00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:52.840 we'll get you involved in one of these boards or commissions. That sounds like 202 00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:58.519 a winner town hall. That would be interesting, because every time somebody does 203 00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:01.279 a town hall, you're you're putting yourself out there. Oh. Absolutely, 204 00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:05.639 and we should. So during my campaign when I was running for city council, 205 00:14:05.759 --> 00:14:09.639 I committed to trying to hold town halls with my ward at least twice 206 00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:13.200 a year. And I feel like I'm at the point to where I've got 207 00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:16.639 my feet grounded in city council and doing some good things. And I know 208 00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:20.919 people have disagreed with some things that have happened on the city council and they 209 00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:22.559 need a voice, and they need an avenue to talk to their representative, 210 00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:26.799 even their councilmen. So I'm going to follow through on my commitment and I'm 211 00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:31.600 going to hold a town hall on May eleventh at six thirty pm at the 212 00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:35.159 Barsville Public Library in their meeting room. So May eleventh, at six thirty 213 00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:39.720 Barswelle Public Library, come out, talk to me, let's talk about what's 214 00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:41.240 going on. There's some really great things going on in the city. We're 215 00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:45.840 going to start looking at budgets. We're going to start looking at what projects 216 00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:50.679 do we put in and ask for general obligation bonds from the city for So 217 00:14:50.919 --> 00:14:52.600 we need citizen input. We need to talk about that. We need to 218 00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:56.000 make sure we're staying on our strategic plan. I need to make sure I'm 219 00:14:56.039 --> 00:15:01.360 hearing the concerns of the people in my ward, taking them to the council 220 00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:05.360 and moving them forward with the city government. And I committed to this, 221 00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:07.759 so I'm going to go ahead and follow through with it. I think it's 222 00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:13.320 our representatives need to be talking on a regular basis with the people they represent. 223 00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:18.480 It's just gonna be more of a listening tour than a speaking engagement or 224 00:15:18.519 --> 00:15:22.559 what it's It's gonna be a little given take here. So I'm gonna try 225 00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:24.679 to fill in and give some information to the people of my ward about what's 226 00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:28.120 going on. Tell them what my priorities will be as we go into the 227 00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:33.200 budgeting cycle and the bond issues, things like streets and infrastructure projects are going 228 00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:37.519 to be I'm going to push really hard to get a lot of funding into 229 00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:39.639 streets, to get some of our streets back in shape because we did our 230 00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:45.039 PCI Pavement Condition Index, and that's and that showed us that we're a little 231 00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:50.200 behind on repairing and maintaining and replacing streets out there. I don't think anybody 232 00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:52.240 in town is going to argue with me on that, but I really do 233 00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:54.679 want to push for a lot of projects in the bonds for our streets. 234 00:15:56.159 --> 00:15:58.240 There's a couple of other things. So I want to tell you what I 235 00:15:58.279 --> 00:16:00.600 want to do, But more than that, I'm going to take a lot 236 00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:03.000 of opportunity to listen to the people of the city, people in my ward, 237 00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:06.519 and say, what are your concerns, what do you want to see 238 00:16:06.559 --> 00:16:07.960 happening, What do you feel like we're doing good, what do you feel 239 00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:11.159 like we're doing wrong? And how can we do it better? All right, 240 00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:14.960 and once again, it's May eleventh, May eleventh at six thirty pm 241 00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:18.080 at the Bartlesville Public Library meeting Room.
