Councilman Bowman commented on the urban sprawl zoning case heard earlier (PC-9939), stating Councilman White would ensure that the applicant would be treated fairly, in light of current Oklahoma City policies. He appreciates the discussion, which showed how important the issue is. He is glad it is bringing the issue to the attention of the Council.
Councilman Bowman reported on the annual meeting of the Belle Isle Neighborhood Association. The Belle Isle neighborhood is located between Pennsylvania Avenue and Villa Street, north of NW Expressway. He reported a year and a half ago a large drainage ditch project started in this area. When it started there was poor communication, which caused the neighbors to be unhappy. With the completion of three items; tree planting on banks, stocking of a small pond for mosquito control and establishing a secondary flow line to ensure natural water flow through original creek; the project will finish on a positive note, despite a horrible and difficult start. He appreciates the neighbors, the City’s Public Works and Parks Departments and the contractors that helped make this a successful project.
Councilman McAtee complimented Councilwoman Willa Johnson on the excellent First Tee Golf Tournament held yesterday. He was extremely impressed by the Earlywine Golf Course located in Councilman Foshee’s ward. He was impressed by the quality of the facility and friendly staff.
He complimented Windsor Oaks Neighborhood Association and their continued efforts, working with Georgie Rasco of Neighborhood Alliance, in developing a strategic plan. He asked the City Manager to forward compliments to Major Foley and Sergeant Epperly, thanking them for their quick response to citizen questions concerning law enforcement.
X. Items from Council.
Councilman Foshee has received numerous complaints regarding animal waste being left in parks. He has received complaints from Hefner Park, South Park, Earlywine, and The Trails. The City Attorney provided him with a copy of the ordinance concerning animal waste being left in parks or on private property. He read the ordinance for the benefit of the Council. He believes the ordinance needs to be amended. Currently, the ordinance requires that the officer would have to witness the animal depositing waste in a prohibited area. He suggested Council consider revising the ordinance requiring pet owners to carry disposal items so they may remove any animal waste that was deposited in prohibited areas. This would ensure enforcement of animal waste disposal, because owners would be required to show the disposal item and officers would not be required to witness the event.
Councilwoman Simank encouraged citizens to attend the Mayor’s Round Table discussion tomorrow morning at the Cox Business Center. She is excited about it and stated there would be discussions regarding growth issues.
Councilwoman Simank announced there would be a Mesta Park Neighborhood Association meeting tonight. She will be bringing two Youth Councilors who will speak at the meeting, which is to be held at Sunbeam Home at 6:30 p.m.
Councilwoman Johnson asked about the trash dumpster on 10th Street, stating it was still overflowing. The City Manager stated he would follow up on the request.
Councilwoman Johnson appreciates the City Clerk’s ability to paraphrase, but she requested the record of April 26, 2005 reflect her concerns for the lack of diversity in the programming at the Memorial event. She requested the record reflect her comment.
Councilwoman Johnson thanked all the sponsors that helped with the First Tee Program that teaches life lessons through the game of golf. She reported the public braved cold weather to play golf and some braved the weather to volunteer. Councilmen Marrs and McAtee participated in the tournament, playing golf. Councilman Bowman came to show his support. Councilwoman Johnson commented on how beautiful the Earlywine Course is. Councilman Foshee thanked Councilwoman Johnson and concurred stating the staff does a great job year round. There were fifty teams participating, it’s a great program and she encouraged citizens to support it. The rain stopped just in time for tee off and the sun came out just as officials were presenting the

prizes. She thanked Debi Martin, Joe Clytus and Josh Hayes, Executive Director of First Tee Program.
Councilman Bowman commented on traveling to the golf tournament, he noticed that when he was traveling on SW 119th Street (old highway 62), there was no directional signage for Earlywine Golf Course or the new park. He thinks it would be a good idea to promote the park and golf course through directional signs.
Councilman Foshee stated he would be remiss if he did not mention Ben Baker, Assistant Golf Pro at Earlywine Golf Course. He witnessed him giving putting instructions to kids to help them.
Councilwoman Johnson noted First Tee was not the only golf organization for kids. She also mentioned Golf, Inc. She said First Tee is working toward expanding into Edmond, Norman and Moore areas, to reach as many kids as possible. She encouraged citizens to support this program.
Councilman Ryan announced he would be attending his first neighborhood association meeting, tonight at 8:00 p.m. at Summerfield Homeowners Association. He said they are concerned about John Marshall High School and the traffic problems residents foresee as a problem with the opening of the school. He complimented staff on the extensive traffic study they provided for him, stating they addressed the concerns of the residents. He was impressed and he hopes the homeowners are equally as impressed with the report staff prepared.
