Charlie Bright.

The Charlie Bright.

Oh, uh good evening, Madam Chair, Vice Chair, trustees, and gentlemen, general manager Spurgeon.

My name is Charlie Brighton, the Director of Engineering Construction.

Before you tonight is an agreement with Tulsa County, one that I think we can all be excited about, partially because it includes road construction of Omaha from Lynn Lane to County Line, which I know we've all heard about many times and people believe is our road.

Excited to say that they've bid it out for construction and are ready to start construction.

They either have awarded or will be awarding the project to BECOM very shortly.

As part of that, our the governing body passed many years ago, I think in 2023, an agreement that said we will relocate our water line as part of their project.

And it was always what's awaiting for what that cost was going to be.

We didn't know until midday.

So we have an agreement saying this is what we'll do before you today is a new agreement now that we know that basically outlines what our responsibilities will be, what their responsibilities will be, and commits our funding to paying for our portion of relocating the water line.

We did have funding earmarked for that we've been saving through our loan program with our utility rates and everything else.

Um but thanks uh to your efforts and uh General Manager Spurgeon's efforts.

Um we actually did secure additional funding through the state of Oklahoma and the ARPA rebalancing money.

Um so the total for it is one million two hundred and ninety-five thousand two hundred and seventy dollars, and that relocates the whole mile of our line.

Um we are expecting eight hundred thousand dollars of that to actually come from the state now through the ARPA funding, and then uh we will just cover the poor the other portion of it from OWRB loans.

So happy to answer any questions you guys have.

Do we have all the needed right-of-way to move it?

Yeah, Tulsa County been working on that for a while to uh um do everything.

This was completely a Tulsa County project.

They did everything like we would normally do.

Um, I'm not familiar with all the details of the project, but I know they did right-away utility real quick.

They'll provide the right sure the right-of-ways.

Yeah, they did all that well before bidding.

So the mayor.

Uh you know, I I all of our state legislators support this, but I I want to specifically mention uh representative Ford because I know for four or five years he has consistently asked for projects at the innovation district, for example.

How could he bring back some some funds to our community?

And he came to us a couple months ago and was looking for a project that was related to water or sewer, and unfortunately, this was perfect, and it's a part of the partnership.

So I need to send a shout out to representative Ford for leading that charge and getting the support of the other legislators to bring those dollars back to our committee because that's a significant amount of funds back to the city of Broken Arrow.

We don't have to borrow.

Yeah, it's it is a great point.

Um we had earmarked over a million dollars in our money, and we've just been sitting there waiting for Tulsa County to get to that point, and you know, now we're using less than 500,000 our funds, so that's 500,000 that we can invest in other capital projects.

So it is a very good thing for us.

Great.

That's why he's my favorite representative.

Slightly, yes.

All right, thank you, sir.

Make a motion.

Second, no, it's already there.

I seconded it.

Sorry.

Would you back out and I'll go ahead.

You're fine.

Item B, consideration discussion on possible approval of resolution 70 1746.

Good evening, Cindy Arnold Finance Director.

Um before you is resolution 1746, which is a resolution of the Broken Air Municipal Authority authorizing a loan from the Oklahoma Water Resource Resource Board and total aggregate principal amount not to exceed 27 million nine hundred and thirty thousand dollars.

Um, and the issuance of the 2026 a promissory note.

We're doing this a little bit early this year.

Um during the workshop, we're going to go over the projects in more detail.

But some of the big projects is one of them is on place to our phase one, which is 12 million dollars.

The reason we're going early is that Edmund's doing a large deal, and we're jumping on the tail end of that to in order to save money.

And it saves about $100,000.

So this resolution authorizes to apply for the loan and to approve the issuance of the series 2026 A promissory note.

So staff recommends the approval and authorization of resolution 1746.

Questions or discussion.

I'll make a motion we approve the resolution.

Second.

Okay.

The goal is to hopefully close in July, so it will actually be next fiscal year.

Thank you for being creative to save money.

Yeah.

That's a John Hole.

He calls us he calls us and says, Edmund's doing a large deal.

Do you think you guys want to go early?

Money's money.

Thank you.

Thank you.

All right.

Remarks by governing body members.

Seeing none.

If I'm oh is this tied back into the one we tabled from do we have to wait till after executive to go after that?
