WEBVTT

1
00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:06.879
<v Speaker 1>Good morning, good morning, good morning, welcome, welcome, welcome. Heat

2
00:00:07.080 --> 00:00:11.119
<v Speaker 1>is time now for our City Matters program. We have

3
00:00:11.199 --> 00:00:14.359
<v Speaker 1>a vice mayor of Bartlesville. We have Trevor Dorsy again

4
00:00:14.439 --> 00:00:15.839
<v Speaker 1>with this how you do it? Said a little bit

5
00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:17.399
<v Speaker 1>a little on the soggy side.

6
00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:18.559
<v Speaker 2>There, I'm doing great.

7
00:00:18.679 --> 00:00:23.280
<v Speaker 3>Then great, We're we're getting a little a little water

8
00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:25.719
<v Speaker 3>out there. And uh, I think you said probably a

9
00:00:25.719 --> 00:00:27.679
<v Speaker 3>little over an inche so far it was it was

10
00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:30.839
<v Speaker 3>flat getting after it this morning. So if the lakes

11
00:00:30.839 --> 00:00:35.240
<v Speaker 3>were a little down there not now, No.

12
00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:37.159
<v Speaker 1>No, I guess we won't be talking about water as

13
00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:38.119
<v Speaker 1>our headline today.

14
00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:38.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, I.

15
00:00:38.679 --> 00:00:43.439
<v Speaker 3>Don't think uh and and uh my my hope, as

16
00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:45.560
<v Speaker 3>I told you earlier, that we can keep it a

17
00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:48.000
<v Speaker 3>little bit warm because I want the grass start coming on.

18
00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:52.600
<v Speaker 3>I'm tired of having to feed hay and uh break

19
00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:54.119
<v Speaker 3>eyes and those kind of fun things.

20
00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:56.280
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's just too much fun.

21
00:00:56.359 --> 00:00:59.240
<v Speaker 3>We're I want that to get behind his. Plus, it's

22
00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:01.520
<v Speaker 3>it's baseball season. Then I got a couple of kids

23
00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:03.640
<v Speaker 3>doing baseball and it's not real fun sitting out in

24
00:01:03.679 --> 00:01:06.239
<v Speaker 3>the baseball park when it's thirty degrees so you know,

25
00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:08.560
<v Speaker 3>at least fifty five or better I can.

26
00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:09.959
<v Speaker 2>I can kind of manage.

27
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:12.920
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, I think we'll be back up there in

28
00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:13.439
<v Speaker 1>no time.

29
00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:14.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

30
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:16.319
<v Speaker 4>Wind's blowing out tomorrow Sunday fifty two.

31
00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:19.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And I'm thinking this morning about all the folks

32
00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:21.680
<v Speaker 3>in Ada and Tracy Rowles, who was our former police

33
00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:24.640
<v Speaker 3>chiefs now, no you're doing down there, city manager and Ada.

34
00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:28.040
<v Speaker 3>They I guess maybe a little tornado or some straight

35
00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:29.959
<v Speaker 3>line winds or something. Last night looks like it, oh

36
00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:31.519
<v Speaker 3>tore up some stuff downtown.

37
00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:32.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

38
00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:34.560
<v Speaker 3>I've not heard that anybody who has been injured. Hopefully

39
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:37.599
<v Speaker 3>that's the case. So I might be thinking about Ada

40
00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:40.000
<v Speaker 3>and praying that everybody's okay down there.

41
00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:42.760
<v Speaker 2>With the weather last night, we're getting into that time

42
00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:43.120
<v Speaker 2>of year.

43
00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:45.359
<v Speaker 3>You know, you get the fall, then you get in

44
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:47.959
<v Speaker 3>the spring, when you get that cold and that cold

45
00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:50.319
<v Speaker 3>air in the warm air meeting up kind of it

46
00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:52.920
<v Speaker 3>gets gets things a little exciting in Oklahoma.

47
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:56.599
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we put it a little overtime. Hey, we did

48
00:01:56.799 --> 00:01:59.560
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of overtime sort of with the with

49
00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:04.079
<v Speaker 1>the I guess we tell us a little bit about this.

50
00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:05.680
<v Speaker 1>Something kind of cool last night.

51
00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:07.120
<v Speaker 4>Well, the BDA, we.

52
00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:11.000
<v Speaker 3>They asked for fifteen acres in our industrial park to

53
00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:14.080
<v Speaker 3>be transferred over to the BDA. They have an opportunity

54
00:02:14.199 --> 00:02:16.560
<v Speaker 3>or or feel like there's a really good opportunity if

55
00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:19.960
<v Speaker 3>we get a spec building going that we can create

56
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:20.599
<v Speaker 3>some jobs.

57
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:23.120
<v Speaker 2>And I think they are correct. I know.

58
00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:28.039
<v Speaker 3>I'm all the time thinking about when I'm out across

59
00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:31.199
<v Speaker 3>the state of Oklahoma or Kansas, Arkansas, wherever I'm at

60
00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:35.439
<v Speaker 3>meeting with customers or clients, that when somebody mentions they're

61
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:37.039
<v Speaker 3>looking at expansion, I'm like, hey, you know, what.

62
00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:38.560
<v Speaker 2>Would be a great place to be is a barbers

63
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:39.159
<v Speaker 2>buttle Columba.

64
00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:42.879
<v Speaker 3>And in a couple of those instances, there's been opportunity

65
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:46.000
<v Speaker 3>where I've gotten those folks with David Woods and Chris

66
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:49.319
<v Speaker 3>bat should hear it over at the BDA. We've got

67
00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:52.280
<v Speaker 3>a great team over there. They do a good job recruiting,

68
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:56.000
<v Speaker 3>a good job trying to expand our existing footprint with

69
00:02:56.280 --> 00:03:01.280
<v Speaker 3>with businesses that are already here. And those instances, especially

70
00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:03.120
<v Speaker 3>when we got the Seamens building, I thought, oh, here

71
00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:06.840
<v Speaker 3>we got a building, let's really go parlay that into

72
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:10.960
<v Speaker 3>some growth. But the ceilings in that building weren't quite

73
00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:15.840
<v Speaker 3>tall enough for certain manufacturing needs. A lot of manufacturers

74
00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:18.759
<v Speaker 3>you need high ceilings, but the high ceilings some of

75
00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:23.000
<v Speaker 3>them have to have those you know, cranes and so

76
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:26.560
<v Speaker 3>if the ceiling heights aren't right. And I know CBR

77
00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:31.080
<v Speaker 3>is working with us to kind of provide some specs

78
00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:34.599
<v Speaker 3>and detail on what they're hearing out there in the

79
00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:37.919
<v Speaker 3>marketplace that the people that are looking to expand and grow.

80
00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:39.800
<v Speaker 2>Or needings a little more universal.

81
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:42.240
<v Speaker 3>I think that I think it's it's going to be

82
00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:45.360
<v Speaker 3>a really good opportunity. We've had some home runs out

83
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:50.800
<v Speaker 3>there in industry. Park Abb has expanded Phillips Machining, Well,

84
00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:53.439
<v Speaker 3>that was part of last night that they will be expanding.

85
00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:57.000
<v Speaker 3>The way they showed that broken out, you had three

86
00:03:57.080 --> 00:04:01.159
<v Speaker 3>five acre tracks in the top track it that front's

87
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:02.439
<v Speaker 3>Bison Road that.

88
00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:03.879
<v Speaker 2>Would be back to the north.

89
00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:07.879
<v Speaker 3>You know, Phillips, we'll be able to expand over there

90
00:04:07.960 --> 00:04:09.960
<v Speaker 3>and that'll create more jobs. As matter of fact, since

91
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:12.439
<v Speaker 3>we've done that and then they've left the old Seamens facility,

92
00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:15.479
<v Speaker 3>I think they've increased their payroll.

93
00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:18.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, their their.

94
00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:19.800
<v Speaker 3>Employee headcount I think is one up about twenty so,

95
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:22.279
<v Speaker 3>I mean they have they have done very well. It's

96
00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:24.839
<v Speaker 3>when when you're looking for a test case of what

97
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:29.519
<v Speaker 3>the BDA does that one is spot on home run

98
00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:33.120
<v Speaker 3>a really really good opportunity. And I think once the

99
00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:35.399
<v Speaker 3>word gets out on the street about our spec.

100
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:38.160
<v Speaker 2>Building that people will be talking to this. I think

101
00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:40.560
<v Speaker 2>just from communication.

102
00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:43.759
<v Speaker 3>You know, there's some folks in Tulsa that have outgrown

103
00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:47.160
<v Speaker 3>their footprint and looking for space. And so I have

104
00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:51.720
<v Speaker 3>complete confidence that David and Batch and Jared will probably

105
00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:55.360
<v Speaker 3>as soon as we announced that the groundbreaking's happening, we

106
00:04:55.399 --> 00:04:57.240
<v Speaker 3>may already have some.

107
00:04:56.879 --> 00:05:00.519
<v Speaker 4>Some lease opportunities, a little flood as they say, of oportunity.

108
00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:05.360
<v Speaker 3>And and you know, for for people who may not

109
00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:09.680
<v Speaker 3>be aware. Out the old Sunset Industrial Park, there was

110
00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:12.480
<v Speaker 3>some some funding that we were able to get in

111
00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:16.519
<v Speaker 3>order to uh do a taxiway and do some additional

112
00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:17.839
<v Speaker 3>hangar space.

113
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:18.680
<v Speaker 4>Uh.

114
00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:21.560
<v Speaker 3>There's a company out there, Phoenix Rising, I believe it's

115
00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:22.079
<v Speaker 3>the name of it.

116
00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:23.399
<v Speaker 2>Talking about that earlier.

117
00:05:24.439 --> 00:05:27.720
<v Speaker 3>They have grown and expanded and then they have got

118
00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:30.360
<v Speaker 3>some capital partners come in and so there's some really

119
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:35.199
<v Speaker 3>good opportunity there for for job growth, expansion. And with

120
00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:38.639
<v Speaker 3>the focus the state has had on you know, the

121
00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:42.000
<v Speaker 3>aerospace industry, we have just an incredible airport.

122
00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:42.519
<v Speaker 4>Uh.

123
00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:44.720
<v Speaker 2>You know that that got turned back over to the

124
00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:45.480
<v Speaker 2>city I believe.

125
00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:49.480
<v Speaker 3>Two years ago, and we were a little bit, you know,

126
00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:53.279
<v Speaker 3>a little bit puckered up over that because Phillips Conco

127
00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:56.480
<v Speaker 3>has always maintained that space because they used to have

128
00:05:57.319 --> 00:06:00.399
<v Speaker 3>shuttles day lean back and forth to Houston and other places.

129
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:04.360
<v Speaker 3>I know there is still some P sixty six coop

130
00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:06.079
<v Speaker 3>planes that coming in out of there, but they don't

131
00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:08.399
<v Speaker 3>have the daily shuttles they used to. And so when

132
00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:10.920
<v Speaker 3>they turned that back over to the city, we just

133
00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:14.279
<v Speaker 3>hadn't had to run it for so long, and the expense,

134
00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:16.360
<v Speaker 3>we had no idea what we were getting into, but

135
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:22.040
<v Speaker 3>we were able to retain you know, staffing that was

136
00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:27.879
<v Speaker 3>direly needed. And that thing is just I think it's

137
00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:30.839
<v Speaker 3>a it's a jewel in the crown and there's a

138
00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:34.120
<v Speaker 3>lot of opportunity, I feel like, and we could start

139
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:38.079
<v Speaker 3>seeing some of that transpire hopefully, and you.

140
00:06:38.040 --> 00:06:38.759
<v Speaker 2>Know, the b DA.

141
00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:44.439
<v Speaker 3>Feels really good about that fifteen acres and not just

142
00:06:44.519 --> 00:06:47.079
<v Speaker 3>the first building spec building that they could do, but

143
00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:51.519
<v Speaker 3>you know, hopefully an additional other building. And for those

144
00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:54.360
<v Speaker 3>out there you know, wondering where those funds come, they're

145
00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:58.439
<v Speaker 3>not coming from the city. The b das has an

146
00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:02.079
<v Speaker 3>account has has some funding, and I know David used

147
00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:04.160
<v Speaker 3>to always like to refer to as as war chest.

148
00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:07.399
<v Speaker 3>You know, initially we did the ABB building and then

149
00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:09.920
<v Speaker 3>they purchased that and so that money was able to

150
00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:13.839
<v Speaker 3>be reallocated into projects. Right now we have the ability

151
00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:17.279
<v Speaker 3>and the funds to go do that spec building and

152
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:20.959
<v Speaker 3>again hopefully if somebody comes in and least of that, maybe.

153
00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:23.120
<v Speaker 2>They they hear that real quick.

154
00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:27.279
<v Speaker 3>And then maybe we can continue and do an additional

155
00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:30.000
<v Speaker 3>spec building and keep moving and navigating that way.

156
00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:33.199
<v Speaker 1>That'd be great. Yeah, that would be great. Hey, I

157
00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:36.399
<v Speaker 1>know you had a workshop one that did not long ago.

158
00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:38.680
<v Speaker 1>It was on those flock cameras here. I hope I'm

159
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:43.279
<v Speaker 1>not putting you on the spot here, but uh, it

160
00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:46.439
<v Speaker 1>was a workshop, so really nothing got decided. But I

161
00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:51.199
<v Speaker 1>understand that with these cameras, they're license plate readers. They're

162
00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:55.399
<v Speaker 1>not surveillance video cameras at this point, or will they

163
00:07:55.480 --> 00:07:58.279
<v Speaker 1>be until somebody pulls out those cameras and put us

164
00:07:58.279 --> 00:07:59.639
<v Speaker 1>a different kind of camera in there.

165
00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:02.839
<v Speaker 4>But where's it going.

166
00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:06.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this was something that was agreed upon a

167
00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:08.519
<v Speaker 1>year or so ago. We had a change with the

168
00:08:08.600 --> 00:08:13.439
<v Speaker 1>city council, and now folks want to a redo on this.

169
00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:18.360
<v Speaker 3>It appears well, yes, the council, previous council I think

170
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:23.279
<v Speaker 3>passed this or made the agreement back in October of

171
00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:26.120
<v Speaker 3>twenty four, okay, And leading up to that, there was

172
00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:29.000
<v Speaker 3>several months I don't know whether it was three or

173
00:08:29.079 --> 00:08:34.639
<v Speaker 3>four months of discussion where Chief Ackleberry brought it, you know,

174
00:08:34.720 --> 00:08:39.200
<v Speaker 3>before the council to discuss. There was obviously meetings with

175
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:42.519
<v Speaker 3>the city councilmen and others in the community. At that point,

176
00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:44.960
<v Speaker 3>we didn't have a lot of the forums that we've

177
00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:48.759
<v Speaker 3>had since the council had changed over. But you know,

178
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:50.320
<v Speaker 3>we were informed about those cameras.

179
00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:50.879
<v Speaker 4>What they do.

180
00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:55.480
<v Speaker 3>You know, they're licensed, so it's a license plate reader,

181
00:08:56.080 --> 00:08:58.639
<v Speaker 3>and there's already cameras that are out there like that

182
00:08:58.759 --> 00:08:59.159
<v Speaker 3>the state.

183
00:08:59.240 --> 00:09:02.080
<v Speaker 1>I went to Illinois over the weekend and I had

184
00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:05.120
<v Speaker 1>to but to get one in Venida. Yeah, you know,

185
00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:09.000
<v Speaker 1>I didn't smile at nothing went away.

186
00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:12.639
<v Speaker 3>For fifteen years, Flock's been around and it's in forty

187
00:09:12.639 --> 00:09:17.399
<v Speaker 3>two states, five thousand municipalities. So I don't know that

188
00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:19.519
<v Speaker 3>we're necessarily late to the show, but we're you know,

189
00:09:19.559 --> 00:09:21.759
<v Speaker 3>we weren't one of the first, and so we've got

190
00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:26.080
<v Speaker 3>we've got data, we've got information, and you are correct,

191
00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:28.120
<v Speaker 3>it does take a picture.

192
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:29.000
<v Speaker 2>Of your license play.

193
00:09:29.840 --> 00:09:34.039
<v Speaker 3>And you know, these cameras have been pretty instrumental. You know,

194
00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:38.360
<v Speaker 3>an LPR camera was what allowed the culprit that that

195
00:09:38.519 --> 00:09:41.600
<v Speaker 3>may have been on the golf course looking to take

196
00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:45.360
<v Speaker 3>our our now presidents live was able to be captured

197
00:09:45.399 --> 00:09:48.039
<v Speaker 3>within an hour of that incident.

198
00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:50.519
<v Speaker 2>You gotta worry that because of the because of an

199
00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:51.240
<v Speaker 2>LPR camera.

200
00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:55.200
<v Speaker 3>So I think they are available, and we've already seen

201
00:09:56.240 --> 00:09:59.600
<v Speaker 3>in our community the two abductions we were able to

202
00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:03.919
<v Speaker 3>used those cameras to help with that, and two murder cases.

203
00:10:04.600 --> 00:10:06.879
<v Speaker 4>And it's all in just six months.

204
00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:08.919
<v Speaker 3>And we've had it for we've had it for a

205
00:10:08.960 --> 00:10:12.720
<v Speaker 3>limited time. And I know when we first started talking

206
00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:16.120
<v Speaker 3>about these cameras as a council, I reached out to

207
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:21.120
<v Speaker 3>several municipalities or counties that are using these and all

208
00:10:21.200 --> 00:10:24.799
<v Speaker 3>of those everybody that I talked to in law enforcement

209
00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:28.120
<v Speaker 3>had a lot of really good stories about, hey, we

210
00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:31.200
<v Speaker 3>were able to capture this guy or you know their

211
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:34.440
<v Speaker 3>their theft is down by you know, statistically, this is

212
00:10:34.519 --> 00:10:36.639
<v Speaker 3>down statistically h TPD.

213
00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:39.039
<v Speaker 2>We did a.

214
00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:43.799
<v Speaker 3>Forum or I guess just a community event at Oklahoma

215
00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:47.080
<v Speaker 3>Wesleyan University and we had TPD there. We had to

216
00:10:47.080 --> 00:10:50.399
<v Speaker 3>flog folks there so people were able to ask questions.

217
00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:54.559
<v Speaker 1>And you know, you talk about TPD, I understand that

218
00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:56.039
<v Speaker 1>they've had pretty good success.

219
00:10:56.240 --> 00:11:00.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah they well they for the second time, at least,

220
00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:06.559
<v Speaker 3>I think the second time, they had solved every murder

221
00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:12.240
<v Speaker 3>in their city last year. You know, Tulsa obviously is

222
00:11:12.279 --> 00:11:14.919
<v Speaker 3>bigger than Barsville. They have two hundred and thirty two cameras.

223
00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:18.519
<v Speaker 3>We do not we have ten, and again that that

224
00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:21.399
<v Speaker 3>could help capture bad guys coming into town and leaving town.

225
00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:25.960
<v Speaker 3>We know when somebody comes into town, if that tag hits,

226
00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:28.039
<v Speaker 3>that says, hey, this person was involved in a murder

227
00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:31.240
<v Speaker 3>or abduction or whatever you know.

228
00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:31.759
<v Speaker 2>On TPD.

229
00:11:32.039 --> 00:11:36.519
<v Speaker 3>I think they the officer whye told me about which

230
00:11:36.559 --> 00:11:38.639
<v Speaker 3>makes sense now. And I do a lot of traveling

231
00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:43.639
<v Speaker 3>for my work and being in Tulsa a lot. You'll

232
00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:45.879
<v Speaker 3>see a TPD officer get behind you for a little

233
00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:46.840
<v Speaker 3>bit and they stay behind you.

234
00:11:47.399 --> 00:11:50.919
<v Speaker 2>I always wondered, well, you know what, they.

235
00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:53.360
<v Speaker 3>Have software that will take a picture of your license

236
00:11:53.360 --> 00:11:56.120
<v Speaker 3>plate and then it pulls it to the computer or

237
00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:59.960
<v Speaker 3>you know, laptop in the car. If you've got outstanding ticket,

238
00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:03.200
<v Speaker 3>it's warrants anything, it'll it'll flag that so that they

239
00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:06.279
<v Speaker 3>can pull you over and see yeah, and so I

240
00:12:06.639 --> 00:12:10.000
<v Speaker 3>don't we don't have that capability or software. But you know,

241
00:12:10.039 --> 00:12:11.840
<v Speaker 3>it's kind of the same thing license plate reader, but

242
00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:16.039
<v Speaker 3>it's it's mobile. Our our cameras aren't mobile. It's going

243
00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:20.559
<v Speaker 3>to take a still picture of your play and in

244
00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:23.240
<v Speaker 3>doing so, your plate's probably never going to be pulled.

245
00:12:23.279 --> 00:12:25.440
<v Speaker 3>Right if you're not involved in any sort of crime.

246
00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:31.279
<v Speaker 3>I think off Sir Elkins gave an example, and I

247
00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:33.279
<v Speaker 3>don't know if there's a theft at Walmart and they

248
00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:34.159
<v Speaker 3>were looking for like.

249
00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:37.279
<v Speaker 2>A silver silver auto truck and.

250
00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:41.519
<v Speaker 3>There was kind of twenty that that were similar possible matches,

251
00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:43.799
<v Speaker 3>and then they were able to pare it down to

252
00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:46.360
<v Speaker 3>just that one license plate, which then wild get pulled

253
00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:48.600
<v Speaker 3>and go in a what did they call a jacket,

254
00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:53.000
<v Speaker 3>which is their file for the particular potential crime that

255
00:12:53.039 --> 00:12:58.519
<v Speaker 3>they're investigating. So you know, again a lot of communities

256
00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:01.879
<v Speaker 3>are using them. If it's been around for fifteen years,

257
00:13:02.240 --> 00:13:08.840
<v Speaker 3>I would think at this point if there was problems

258
00:13:08.879 --> 00:13:11.279
<v Speaker 3>with it, that somebody that had been charged with a

259
00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:12.919
<v Speaker 3>crime would try to fight it and get it thrown

260
00:13:12.960 --> 00:13:16.480
<v Speaker 3>out because of that, And if you weren't able to

261
00:13:17.639 --> 00:13:20.720
<v Speaker 3>listen in to the recent forum on the twenty fourth

262
00:13:21.159 --> 00:13:26.120
<v Speaker 3>or attendant personally, our city attorney gave a lot of

263
00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:31.279
<v Speaker 3>detail on the Fourth Amendment, and I believe, based on

264
00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:35.279
<v Speaker 3>the case law that he stated that we are not

265
00:13:36.759 --> 00:13:39.080
<v Speaker 3>infringing on your Fourth Amendment rights. And I certainly think

266
00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:41.879
<v Speaker 3>you're on a public road. Yeah, we're not surveilling people.

267
00:13:42.080 --> 00:13:44.399
<v Speaker 3>We don't have somebody sitting at a cubicle that's watching

268
00:13:44.519 --> 00:13:46.679
<v Speaker 3>where you're traveling or what you're doing. And again, nobody

269
00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:50.240
<v Speaker 3>ever pulls those tags unless there is a crime and

270
00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:53.039
<v Speaker 3>there's a reason to look at tags.

271
00:13:53.879 --> 00:13:55.879
<v Speaker 1>It's not like hey, it looks like Marvin's going to

272
00:13:55.919 --> 00:13:59.679
<v Speaker 1>the liquor store. Yeah, Or it's not like a you know,

273
00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:03.600
<v Speaker 1>Jinny has been talking with the mailman a little too long.

274
00:14:04.639 --> 00:14:06.360
<v Speaker 4>No, that none of that is going on.

275
00:14:06.440 --> 00:14:10.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and speaking with you know, various people throughout our community.

276
00:14:10.120 --> 00:14:13.799
<v Speaker 3>I know a lot of the business community. Folks like

277
00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:18.480
<v Speaker 3>it because it can hopefully deter theft, can deter a

278
00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:24.879
<v Speaker 3>lot of things. I think some people, as they are

279
00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:28.600
<v Speaker 3>kind of up tied about them, I feel like it

280
00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:32.519
<v Speaker 3>will only continue with facial recognition, and then you know

281
00:14:32.559 --> 00:14:34.639
<v Speaker 3>they can be used to take at you for not

282
00:14:34.759 --> 00:14:37.360
<v Speaker 3>using it, not wearing a seatbelt, or running a stop sign.

283
00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:42.240
<v Speaker 1>So the concern is possible progression, future, future progression.

284
00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:46.480
<v Speaker 3>And you know, to my knowledge, I think again through

285
00:14:46.519 --> 00:14:50.360
<v Speaker 3>that forum and the forum at OKWU that you got

286
00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:55.559
<v Speaker 3>to hear some of the council's thoughts, and to my knowledge,

287
00:14:55.559 --> 00:14:58.320
<v Speaker 3>there's not a counselman that wants to do facial recognition

288
00:14:58.519 --> 00:15:01.519
<v Speaker 3>or use this software in order to tick at people

289
00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:03.960
<v Speaker 3>for for not having us wearing their seat.

290
00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:05.879
<v Speaker 2>Belt or see it's a bit tedious.

291
00:15:06.120 --> 00:15:09.159
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it seems a bit tedious.

292
00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:11.240
<v Speaker 3>Well, I mean, these cameras aren't aren't here to do

293
00:15:12.159 --> 00:15:13.200
<v Speaker 3>the officers jobs.

294
00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:14.519
<v Speaker 4>They are.

295
00:15:17.799 --> 00:15:18.440
<v Speaker 2>Oser white.

296
00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:23.559
<v Speaker 3>From the TVD I think gave the best quote, it's

297
00:15:23.639 --> 00:15:27.120
<v Speaker 3>it's like a small snippet of DNA. In most of

298
00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:32.960
<v Speaker 3>the murder cases, and he talked about three they had

299
00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:36.240
<v Speaker 3>a witness or someone that said, hey, you know it's

300
00:15:36.240 --> 00:15:39.639
<v Speaker 3>a white they think it's a white Toyota camera. Well,

301
00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:42.200
<v Speaker 3>then they can go to ring doorbells, Hey there's a

302
00:15:42.200 --> 00:15:45.399
<v Speaker 3>white camera on the street the night of the shooting.

303
00:15:45.799 --> 00:15:47.279
<v Speaker 2>And then they go from there.

304
00:15:47.039 --> 00:15:50.000
<v Speaker 3>To uh a particular intersection where there may be an

305
00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:52.039
<v Speaker 3>LPR camera. Well, then they get a tag. Well, then

306
00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:56.000
<v Speaker 3>they go to QT and they get that car in

307
00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:58.639
<v Speaker 3>the QT parking lot and actually have footage of the

308
00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:00.799
<v Speaker 3>suspect and QT. And then and they go across the

309
00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:03.279
<v Speaker 3>street to CBS. Well they circle the parking lot at CBS.

310
00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:08.360
<v Speaker 3>So I think it's it's like a small snippet of DNA,

311
00:16:08.200 --> 00:16:11.799
<v Speaker 3>as Officer White said, and they can just take that

312
00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:14.759
<v Speaker 3>small snippet to keep working that case to figure out,

313
00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:17.080
<v Speaker 3>you know, and solve the crime.

314
00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:19.960
<v Speaker 1>All right, we got just a little bit of time left.

315
00:16:19.960 --> 00:16:21.840
<v Speaker 1>Anything else you'd like to add from last night.

316
00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:24.759
<v Speaker 3>Well, we always I always like to talk about openings,

317
00:16:24.759 --> 00:16:25.120
<v Speaker 3>and I did.

318
00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:26.360
<v Speaker 4>That's right, we need those.

319
00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:28.519
<v Speaker 2>I did get a chance to talk with a constituent.

320
00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:31.519
<v Speaker 3>We have one opening on the park board, one opening

321
00:16:31.559 --> 00:16:33.559
<v Speaker 3>on the Streets and Traffic Committee, and one opening on

322
00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:36.440
<v Speaker 3>the White Road Cemetery board. And talking with that constituent,

323
00:16:36.480 --> 00:16:39.720
<v Speaker 3>I said, hey, we love whenever we have citizens in

324
00:16:39.759 --> 00:16:41.600
<v Speaker 3>our community that want to serve. That's what we need.

325
00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:45.960
<v Speaker 3>That's what those committees are for. That's how we understand

326
00:16:46.039 --> 00:16:48.639
<v Speaker 3>and know what's going on, what the community wants. I mean,

327
00:16:48.679 --> 00:16:51.000
<v Speaker 3>we get people from the community, and obviously you want

328
00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:53.799
<v Speaker 3>them to have passions for whatever committee that is, whether

329
00:16:53.840 --> 00:17:00.320
<v Speaker 3>it's streets, parks, Library, Trust Authority, the museum. I mean,

330
00:17:00.360 --> 00:17:01.720
<v Speaker 3>we have a lot of committees and we have a

331
00:17:01.759 --> 00:17:04.440
<v Speaker 3>lot of people that are willing to serve, and so

332
00:17:04.519 --> 00:17:07.079
<v Speaker 3>we're grateful for that. But if you have you know,

333
00:17:09.880 --> 00:17:13.920
<v Speaker 3>if you have some love for a certain area and

334
00:17:14.599 --> 00:17:17.640
<v Speaker 3>energy for something, then we would love for you to

335
00:17:17.640 --> 00:17:19.839
<v Speaker 3>to You can go to the city website, or you

336
00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:21.640
<v Speaker 3>can go up and see Lane and I'm sure we'd

337
00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:23.480
<v Speaker 3>be happy to get you an application to serve on

338
00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:25.640
<v Speaker 3>at least those three openings right now is what we have,

339
00:17:25.920 --> 00:17:29.119
<v Speaker 3>and we got some some things coming up this month.

340
00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:29.960
<v Speaker 2>March eighth, we have.

341
00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:33.319
<v Speaker 3>A surplus auction, so Saturday, if you if you've ever

342
00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:35.119
<v Speaker 3>wanted to own a fire truck, maybe.

343
00:17:35.359 --> 00:17:37.960
<v Speaker 4>Bring some cash, bring your checkbook, no credit cards for.

344
00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:40.359
<v Speaker 2>Me, Maybe that's maybe that's your opportunity.

345
00:17:41.119 --> 00:17:43.279
<v Speaker 3>And we're going to have a budget workshop coming up

346
00:17:43.319 --> 00:17:49.519
<v Speaker 3>on April to twenty eighth, so uh, you know that

347
00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:50.680
<v Speaker 3>that's always a big one.

348
00:17:51.160 --> 00:17:51.680
<v Speaker 2>The budget.

349
00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:55.400
<v Speaker 3>I think a budget book last year was don't catch

350
00:17:55.440 --> 00:17:57.920
<v Speaker 3>me fibbing, but I think it was around nine hundred pages, so.

351
00:17:58.640 --> 00:17:59.880
<v Speaker 4>We typically forklift.

352
00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:02.279
<v Speaker 3>We typically a council get that, you know, a few

353
00:18:02.319 --> 00:18:05.400
<v Speaker 3>weeks early, because it takes some time to delve through

354
00:18:05.440 --> 00:18:05.880
<v Speaker 3>all of that.

355
00:18:06.079 --> 00:18:07.880
<v Speaker 2>You know, we've got each.

356
00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:11.880
<v Speaker 3>Department, each area has a budget, and thankfully we have

357
00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:15.319
<v Speaker 3>a good city staff and a team. I know Jason

358
00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:20.279
<v Speaker 3>Munger's always maybe not eager, but he's always willing to

359
00:18:20.640 --> 00:18:23.880
<v Speaker 3>sit down with you and and go through a lot

360
00:18:23.880 --> 00:18:27.079
<v Speaker 3>of the budget book if you have questions. And so

361
00:18:27.680 --> 00:18:29.759
<v Speaker 3>this will be, I guess my eighth year of doing this,

362
00:18:29.920 --> 00:18:33.160
<v Speaker 3>so I've kind of started to get a better understanding

363
00:18:33.160 --> 00:18:35.519
<v Speaker 3>of all that. That first year it seems, you know,

364
00:18:35.599 --> 00:18:38.000
<v Speaker 3>pretty overwhelming when you get a nine hundred page and

365
00:18:38.039 --> 00:18:40.160
<v Speaker 3>I that's what I do every day for a living

366
00:18:40.279 --> 00:18:44.640
<v Speaker 3>is look at uh, you know, tax returns and p

367
00:18:44.759 --> 00:18:48.680
<v Speaker 3>and ls and proformas and you name it. But they're

368
00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:50.519
<v Speaker 3>typically not nine hundred pages worth.

369
00:18:50.680 --> 00:18:52.359
<v Speaker 2>So it is a lot.

370
00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:55.960
<v Speaker 3>And we we last night got a couple of street

371
00:18:57.319 --> 00:19:00.519
<v Speaker 3>improvements that will be going on. One of them will

372
00:19:00.519 --> 00:19:04.480
<v Speaker 3>be Yell Drive from East Frankfois Boulevard to southeast Adam's Boulevard,

373
00:19:04.519 --> 00:19:10.720
<v Speaker 3>and the other will be Madison Boulevard off of Tuxedo

374
00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:13.359
<v Speaker 3>to the water tower, so it doesn't get all the

375
00:19:13.359 --> 00:19:15.920
<v Speaker 3>way to Minnesota. But I got to think here in

376
00:19:15.960 --> 00:19:18.880
<v Speaker 3>the future, we'll get that last leg done. But Minnesota

377
00:19:19.640 --> 00:19:23.119
<v Speaker 3>has been resurfaced from Madison back to seventy five, and

378
00:19:23.119 --> 00:19:24.799
<v Speaker 3>if you hadn't been out on that road, it's it's

379
00:19:24.960 --> 00:19:28.440
<v Speaker 3>very nice. So and I know that that road was

380
00:19:28.599 --> 00:19:31.440
<v Speaker 3>in need of improvement, and there is you know traffic.

381
00:19:32.200 --> 00:19:33.440
<v Speaker 3>I know a lot of times when I go to

382
00:19:33.799 --> 00:19:36.759
<v Speaker 3>go to do her, I'm coming back into town from Dewey,

383
00:19:36.839 --> 00:19:39.640
<v Speaker 3>I either take that Minnesota to Madison to get home,

384
00:19:39.839 --> 00:19:44.039
<v Speaker 3>or I loop out there at pumping Pede's go around

385
00:19:44.079 --> 00:19:48.839
<v Speaker 3>and hit Bison. So but that oh, there is a

386
00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:50.960
<v Speaker 3>Let me tell everybody, there's a sidewalk grant.

387
00:19:51.119 --> 00:19:53.200
<v Speaker 2>So if you have.

388
00:19:54.839 --> 00:19:57.640
<v Speaker 3>A sidewalk that is you know, in need of some

389
00:19:57.680 --> 00:20:00.759
<v Speaker 3>repairs right now, it's a good opportunity for take advantage.

390
00:20:01.440 --> 00:20:04.440
<v Speaker 3>I know I've had some constituents that have reached out

391
00:20:04.480 --> 00:20:07.079
<v Speaker 3>in the past, and so I immediately thought of all

392
00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:09.039
<v Speaker 3>of them after the meeting and texted them and said, hey,

393
00:20:09.039 --> 00:20:11.720
<v Speaker 3>if there's you know, there's the sidewalk grant. If you

394
00:20:11.799 --> 00:20:14.079
<v Speaker 3>get on the city website, you can apply if you

395
00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:14.680
<v Speaker 3>need any help.

396
00:20:14.680 --> 00:20:15.480
<v Speaker 2>Please reach out and.

397
00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:19.079
<v Speaker 3>I make sure that that grant is available through the fifteenth.

398
00:20:19.200 --> 00:20:21.319
<v Speaker 3>So today's what's the fourth, So you've got a couple

399
00:20:21.359 --> 00:20:23.079
<v Speaker 3>of days to get that application in.

400
00:20:23.160 --> 00:20:26.160
<v Speaker 4>But you know, if you own.

401
00:20:27.480 --> 00:20:30.480
<v Speaker 3>A home and you own a lot, if there's sidewalk

402
00:20:30.480 --> 00:20:32.720
<v Speaker 3>on it, that's technically a responsibility.

403
00:20:33.720 --> 00:20:36.440
<v Speaker 2>But I do know that with this grant it.

404
00:20:36.400 --> 00:20:40.039
<v Speaker 3>Can help some people right now to offset that cost

405
00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:42.319
<v Speaker 3>so they're not coming out of pocket. And so I

406
00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:46.359
<v Speaker 3>would encourage anybody, and I know a couple of my constituents.

407
00:20:46.400 --> 00:20:48.559
<v Speaker 3>It was around some of the schools and it would

408
00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:51.359
<v Speaker 3>be great to have those sidewalks repaired so that there's

409
00:20:51.359 --> 00:20:53.920
<v Speaker 3>a lot of students walking back and forth school. Then

410
00:20:53.960 --> 00:20:57.279
<v Speaker 3>they're not having to deal with sidewalks that may need

411
00:20:58.000 --> 00:20:59.839
<v Speaker 3>they need some upkeep and maintenance.

412
00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:02.200
<v Speaker 4>Very good, do you ever, Thanks for being with us.

413
00:21:02.319 --> 00:21:04.119
<v Speaker 2>Always good to be here and good to see you.
