<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

19
00:00:49.880 --> 00:00:53.479
<v Speaker 3>Ward two has kind of changed boundaries in the last

20
00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:56.000
<v Speaker 3>redistrict thing, so I want to make sure people know

21
00:00:56.039 --> 00:00:57.119
<v Speaker 3>where Ward two is.

22
00:00:57.439 --> 00:00:59.119
<v Speaker 2>You know, if you look, if you start.

23
00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:02.479
<v Speaker 3>At Adams Boulevard Highway sixty there between Silver Lake and

24
00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:06.000
<v Speaker 3>seventy five and go south from Adams Boulevard in between

25
00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:09.120
<v Speaker 3>Silver Lake and seventy five all the way down past

26
00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:11.599
<v Speaker 3>Colonial and then once we get to Nowada Road, we

27
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:14.560
<v Speaker 3>kind of hop over onto the east side of No

28
00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:16.799
<v Speaker 3>Water Road, south of No Wada Road, and we go

29
00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:19.319
<v Speaker 3>up to Madison and then we wore two stops there

30
00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:21.599
<v Speaker 3>at Madison and Price Road.

31
00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:24.599
<v Speaker 2>Hey, so that's the.

32
00:01:24.599 --> 00:01:26.799
<v Speaker 3>Count, that's the ward. So if you live out there,

33
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:28.200
<v Speaker 3>I'd like for you to go out and vote, and

34
00:01:28.280 --> 00:01:30.439
<v Speaker 3>especially vote for me. I think We're doing some great

35
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:32.599
<v Speaker 3>things at the city and i'd like to continue doing that.

36
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:38.480
<v Speaker 1>Well, tell us how you see a new term for you?

37
00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:40.239
<v Speaker 1>What are you looking forward to for the city.

38
00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:44.920
<v Speaker 3>Well, I see it with two different different objectives. First,

39
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:48.079
<v Speaker 3>we continue the great things we've done with economic development

40
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:50.120
<v Speaker 3>out there. We've got a lot of new businesses in town,

41
00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:53.719
<v Speaker 3>blue Whale and the new Electric shop, and we've got

42
00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:56.000
<v Speaker 3>some new businesses going out at the airport. We've got

43
00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:58.560
<v Speaker 3>new businesses along seventy five. We've done a really good

44
00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:01.879
<v Speaker 3>job with economic development. I'd like to continue that momentum

45
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:05.239
<v Speaker 3>so that we can grow jobs and grow retail experiences.

46
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:08.879
<v Speaker 3>And we also want to continue with the Barswell Redevelopment

47
00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:12.960
<v Speaker 3>Trust Authority investing in our locally owned businesses downtown in

48
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:16.680
<v Speaker 3>the tiff districts to make sure that we're nurturing our

49
00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:18.960
<v Speaker 3>hometown businesses as well well.

50
00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:21.759
<v Speaker 1>A lot of towns are size you see a lot

51
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:25.240
<v Speaker 1>of empty buildings as not the case here. Most of

52
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:28.319
<v Speaker 1>ours are occupied in open for business.

53
00:02:28.599 --> 00:02:30.719
<v Speaker 2>I think the city does a great job with that.

54
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:33.360
<v Speaker 3>Our two economic development engines of the BDA and the

55
00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:36.439
<v Speaker 3>v RTA really do a great job of not only

56
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:39.759
<v Speaker 3>supporting and helping grow our locally businesses, but finding the

57
00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:42.599
<v Speaker 3>gaps in our businesses and new companies to come in

58
00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:46.479
<v Speaker 3>for employment in Barnsville. So, you know, continuing those types

59
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:50.840
<v Speaker 3>of things, continuing our good parts projects things like that

60
00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:53.560
<v Speaker 3>is definitely a theme going forward for me. I want

61
00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:56.599
<v Speaker 3>to continue the momentum that we're improving Barsville, but I

62
00:02:56.599 --> 00:02:58.639
<v Speaker 3>think we've got a lot of new initiatives that I

63
00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:02.240
<v Speaker 3>want to face in the coming two years. I was

64
00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:06.120
<v Speaker 3>so glad that bartles citizens of Bartlesville passed a historic

65
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:09.560
<v Speaker 3>bond issue that we have twelve million dollars of bond

66
00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:13.280
<v Speaker 3>funds for street projects, So we.

67
00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:14.199
<v Speaker 2>We definitely know streets are an issue.

68
00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:17.199
<v Speaker 3>We've heard the citizens say that they want to improve streets.

69
00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:20.520
<v Speaker 3>Our payment Condition Index study that we did says that

70
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:25.080
<v Speaker 3>we're behind, so we need to repair, replace, and rejuvenate

71
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:26.000
<v Speaker 3>some of our streets.

72
00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:27.840
<v Speaker 2>So we've got twelve million dollars in bonds.

73
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:32.120
<v Speaker 3>We've also got about five million dollars in our maintenance budgets.

74
00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:32.800
<v Speaker 2>To help maintain our roads.

75
00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:35.360
<v Speaker 3>I really am looking forward to trying to get some

76
00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:38.599
<v Speaker 3>of those projects for streets engineered and begin in the.

77
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:39.639
<v Speaker 2>Next couple of years.

78
00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:42.560
<v Speaker 3>We've got a long list of projects that we're going

79
00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:45.280
<v Speaker 3>to do in the next two years, so we're continuing

80
00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:47.879
<v Speaker 3>twenty twenty and twenty twenty two and twenty twenty four

81
00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:51.800
<v Speaker 3>bond projects, so I'm literally looking forward to those in

82
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:54.479
<v Speaker 3>the coming years. Plus, you know, the citizens have told

83
00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:56.960
<v Speaker 3>us exactly what they want done in a strategic plan,

84
00:03:57.199 --> 00:03:59.520
<v Speaker 3>So we've got strategy plan out there that we want

85
00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:03.159
<v Speaker 3>to execute on. Whenever things come before the city Council

86
00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:06.560
<v Speaker 3>and the city staff come to us and look to

87
00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:09.360
<v Speaker 3>spend the tax dollars, we want to make sure that

88
00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:12.520
<v Speaker 3>those fit into the strategic plan that the citizens have

89
00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:16.279
<v Speaker 3>had input on. So continuing to execute that strategic plan

90
00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:17.839
<v Speaker 3>in the next two years.

91
00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:19.199
<v Speaker 2>That's going to be key for us.

92
00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:23.920
<v Speaker 3>And Plus I mean there's also the everyday runnings of

93
00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:25.519
<v Speaker 3>the city that we need to ensure. We need to

94
00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:28.319
<v Speaker 3>make sure that we keep you know, the trash picked up,

95
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:30.639
<v Speaker 3>clean water coming to your house, dirty water going away

96
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:34.560
<v Speaker 3>from your house. Please fire ambulance services that we depend

97
00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:37.720
<v Speaker 3>upon every day. Those are doing really great and functioning

98
00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:39.639
<v Speaker 3>really great right now, so we'd like to make sure

99
00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:41.319
<v Speaker 3>that they continue into the future.

100
00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:43.600
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of water, that's a big subject. We got a

101
00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:45.759
<v Speaker 1>little bit of rain, but we didn't get a whole lot,

102
00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:49.439
<v Speaker 1>and we might be looking at a similar scenario that

103
00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:50.720
<v Speaker 1>we saw about a year or two ago.

104
00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:54.639
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think we're in a historic drought here in

105
00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:58.800
<v Speaker 3>our region and up into southern Kansas where our water

106
00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:01.600
<v Speaker 3>kind of gets pulled from. So I don't think we're

107
00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:03.600
<v Speaker 3>in a real bad spot right now. Hopefully we've got

108
00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:05.920
<v Speaker 3>a prediction of a lot of rain next week, so

109
00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:08.600
<v Speaker 3>hopefully we get we get our reservoirs filled back up.

110
00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:13.040
<v Speaker 3>But I love that we've we've put in a committee

111
00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:18.600
<v Speaker 3>and a council direct initiative to have community members, city staff,

112
00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:23.079
<v Speaker 3>state representatives all setting on a task force to look

113
00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:24.920
<v Speaker 3>at how we deal with water going forward, not only

114
00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:27.319
<v Speaker 3>short term but mean even long term as well. I

115
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:30.160
<v Speaker 3>think short term, we've got a couple of projects identified,

116
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:33.040
<v Speaker 3>especially with the water reuse system, that will help us

117
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:35.199
<v Speaker 3>in the short term make sure that we don't get

118
00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:37.439
<v Speaker 3>into those spots again. Once we get the water reuse

119
00:05:37.959 --> 00:05:40.480
<v Speaker 3>system online here in the next four years, that's a

120
00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:43.680
<v Speaker 3>real great project short term, but long term, they're thinking.

121
00:05:43.399 --> 00:05:45.399
<v Speaker 2>About what does our water supply look.

122
00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:48.399
<v Speaker 3>Like and where and can we can we diversify our

123
00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:50.399
<v Speaker 3>water supply and not just pull it from you Len

124
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:53.800
<v Speaker 3>and Hudson anymore, but maybe other places in the region

125
00:05:53.800 --> 00:05:56.639
<v Speaker 3>that we can pull water supply from. So I'm looking

126
00:05:56.639 --> 00:05:58.720
<v Speaker 3>forward to dealing with that issue, and we've got good

127
00:05:58.759 --> 00:05:59.519
<v Speaker 3>people working on.

128
00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:02.959
<v Speaker 1>It, very very good. This is where I tell the candidates,

129
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:05.399
<v Speaker 1>get up on the stuff. Tell us all about Lauren Bizzelle,

130
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:07.959
<v Speaker 1>what I stand for, what you're gonna do, what you

131
00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:09.199
<v Speaker 1>want to do, what you want to see.

132
00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:11.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so I appreciate that. You know.

133
00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:14.879
<v Speaker 3>I've born and raised here in Bartlesville. My grandparents grew

134
00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:17.560
<v Speaker 3>up on Oklahoma Street. I grew up on Elm Street.

135
00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:20.279
<v Speaker 3>I went to Barnswell High School. My daughter lives on

136
00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:22.680
<v Speaker 3>Harvey Road out here, and my granddaughter lives out there

137
00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:25.279
<v Speaker 3>with hers so you know, it's important to me to

138
00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:28.360
<v Speaker 3>make sure that this is a place that keeps improving

139
00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:30.920
<v Speaker 3>so that our kids and our grandkids all want to

140
00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:31.319
<v Speaker 3>live here.

141
00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:34.720
<v Speaker 2>They have jobs here, they have streets that are maintained.

142
00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:38.800
<v Speaker 3>They have parks to play in, and all the things

143
00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:42.399
<v Speaker 3>necessary for them to want to live here. I really

144
00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:44.279
<v Speaker 3>would appreciate a vote because I think we can keep

145
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:47.199
<v Speaker 3>improving Bartlesville, and I think we've got a strategic plan

146
00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:50.920
<v Speaker 3>that we're executing. And I really love every day I

147
00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:51.959
<v Speaker 3>get calls from people that I.

148
00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:53.800
<v Speaker 2>Can help them, and I want to help people. I

149
00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:55.199
<v Speaker 2>want to make people successful.

150
00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:58.279
<v Speaker 3>So that's really why I'm running, is to help the

151
00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:01.600
<v Speaker 3>members of my ward and my community keep being successful

152
00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:04.600
<v Speaker 3>every day of their life, keep improving Bartlesville every day.

153
00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:06.399
