Four mayor's items.

Four A report from the mayor or hit or his designee on community events.

Briefing on city activities, city efforts, and new business.

Good evening, counselors.

Carrie Fathergill, public advocate, Mayor's office.

Just got a real quick mayor's report for you all.

Um I'm going to start with cooling stations that we have up and running.

I thought this would be a good moment to remind the community and our residents that we have these up and running out there.

John 316 mission, which is at 506 North Cheyenne, Salvation Army, 102 North Denver, Tulsa Day Center, 415 West Archer, and Tulsa County Social Services, which is on uh Charles Page Boulevard.

So just a reminder, please, those are up for our residents to access uh during this heat.

I think we got a little relief today, not a lot, but it's gonna get back up there.

So I actually forgot my report upstairs.

I do apologize, so I'm gonna go on memory here.

So it's not what it used to be, so bear with me.

So as you all know, Chief Um Larson has uh put in his resignation.

He's retiring, and we're so very sad to lose him.

He served 47 years for the city.

He's a great guy, and he will be missed.

Um what else did I have on the list?

I too, I am so sorry.

Um I guess that's gonna be my major two things.

Um the the decommissioning in our um website that shows the numbers that we have helped.

We've um reached 500.

Last time I reported on this last week, we I think we are at 449.

We have um helped over 500 people and connected them to services um to help them in their time of need.

Um one of the interesting things that I read on that point this afternoon was we've been able to reconnect a lot of folks with family to get them um back reconnected and get them help through their their loved ones as well.

So I thought that was really cool to see.

Um so I'm just gonna keep it brief.

That's all I can remember on the report.

If you guys have any questions, please let me know and I'll get you some answers.

Okay.

All right, stay cool and have a good evening.

Yes, ma'am.

Counselor Dutton and then uh counselor dector right, sorry.

Yeah, so I need to sit closer, Jimmy.

I'm concerned that the cooling stations are all located downtown.

And that is um, it's been so hot.

And uh we're talking everywhere.

Yep.

Yes, and I think we need to do better to get cooling stations in each quadrant of the case.

Absolutely.

If you have any recommendations of organizations that are willing to do that, please let us know, and then I'll pass that on.

That concern that see if we can get them expanded out to all districts.

You know, something I don't know, yeah.

I did also inquire if we could stop the sweeps that are happening underneath the overpasses and provide some sort of refuse containers for individuals because it is those underpasses where they are able to escape from the severe heat, and when there are sweeps within those underpasses, they are completely exposed and put back out.

Well, that's some out of the box thinking, and I appreciate that, and I will make sure that the team gets that recommendation.

Thank you for the idea.

Counselor Dector Wright?

Yeah, I was also just gonna express my concern about cooling stations all concentrated in downtown.

Um several of us have an apartment crisis brewing because of a man, you know, a property issue that we're trying to mitigate, and we're getting calls from seniors, especially who don't have air conditioning.

So if anyone's listening right now or the media, um, I think the libraries are open till at least five or six, so that would be another option.

Um Woodland Hills Mall people can go to if they can get to.

So there's other places to cool off, but maybe the counselors we can put our heads together and think about some other outposts that aren't just the standard uh places where people that are experiencing homelessness go.

I know if um I were living in an apartment where I lost my air conditioning.

I'm not thinking I'm going downtown to the social services corridor.

I'm just being honest.

So we we've got to think out of the box, come up with some other ideas.

The malls are open, um shopping centers and libraries, and those are all free to be in.

And then maybe there's some churches too that we just don't know about in our communities that would take people in to cool off and um connect to resources.

So thanks for bringing that up.

Thanks for coming to give us updates.

I'm so sorry, I forgot the main part of the report.

But thank you and thanks for your ideas about the cooling stations.

We'll follow up with you on that and we'll collaborate some other ideas.

Okay.

All right, good night.

Thank you.

Do we have any speakers?

We have one speaker, Mr.

John Hoffines.

Yes, just gonna thank Ms.

Father Gill for sharing that uh those are uh good ideas that were shared and appreciate John 316 and the other cooling centers that are doing what they are doing.

So yeah, thanks.

Thank you.

Travis Park Master Drainage Plan and changes to the City of Tulsa regulatory floodplain map.

Thank you for your consideration on this updated floodplain mapping.

Your planning today helps protect families, neighborhoods, and businesses.

And I'm praying God's wisdom guides this and every decision.

May the flow of his love and peace and blessing move through our neighborhoods like a life-giving river, bringing hope to our city.

May those blessings continue from Tulsa throughout Oklahoma and across our nation in a way similar to the words written in agenda item 4C and agreement with these will affect our city.

So do the words we pray and we say over our government leaders affect our nation.

Almighty God, we invoke your guidance.

And our words will affect the course affect the course of this great nation, the United States of America.

We honor those who serve in positions of authority as scripture encourages us.

We pray for all who lead, asking God to grant them you wisdom and discernment as they serve us.

We the people.

Thank you, Counselors.

Thank you.

Next speaker, please.

Our next speaker is Aaron Griffith on item 4E.

Good evening, Counselors.

Thank you for the opportunity to speak tonight.

If you'll permit me the liberty, real quick, I just wanted to uh give a a quick uh suggestion in terms of our cooling station discussion, and that is fire stations are a great okay, but thank you place to consider thank you.

Anyways, back to the agenda item.

And if I'd have known that was going to be on the agenda, I would have signed up to speak for it just for the record.

So maybe those agenda items could be a little bit more detailed from the mayor's office.

Just saying.

Thank you.

Um regarding this map, tonight I just like to preface my comments by requesting that you, if you so decide to approve these maps as proposed tonight, that you uh do not include the emergency clause.

I'm still waiting from three one from a 311 uh request to get my base elevation regulatory uh sorry I want to say this right regulatory flood uh well I'm sorry, regulatory water surface elevations that are available through the 311.

Uh I have not received those yet.

I'm not even sure I'm an impacted homeowner, judging from the maps that are available online.

So I don't even know if that's the case.

Um so I just wanted to preface my comments by making that request to give a little bit more time to explore that uh and have an opportunity to um be able to respond to my counselor before they make a decision regarding that matter.

Uh now I just for the purposes of anybody else who may be impacted.

To request a floodplain determination, you need to provide the street address, the subdivision lot and block number of the property you're inquiring about and submits your request by calling the customer care center or emailing 311 at City of Tulsa.org.

There's no charge for this service.

It's a definitive step to get your precise base flood elevation number and uh the can also be achieved by directly contacting the city's engineering staff.

But they're pretty busy, so it'll probably it may or may not take about the same amount of time.

I'm not sure what 311 backlogs are currently.

So once city council formally passes the resolution uh and adopts the digital atlas, individual property boundaries can no longer be modified through local political debate, which is another reason why I'm asking you to not approve the emergency clause tonight, even if you approve the maps.

Um that way there's more time before that these go into effect where we can get some information back regarding how this may impact our properties.

And uh so at that point, you know, most people's only recourse is to switch entirely to a data backed technical appeal, which requires a certified land survey.

You have to hire Oklahoma licensed brand land surveyor or a structural engineer, and they must physically shoot your properties precise elevations.

Uh collect technical proof, your surveyor must mathematically prove your property's lowest adjacent grade, uh, the lowest point of natural ground touching your home's foundation equal to or higher than the newly modeled base flood elevation.

Uh step three is to submit a letter of map amendment to uh and file the reserve results online via the FEMA LOMC portal.

If FEMA approves your technical data packet, they will issue an official determination letter that overrides the map, removing mandatory federal for flood insurance requirement for your home.

Uh in closing is an impacted property owner uh within the regular as what I believe to be an impacted property uh or owner within the look within Lewiston Gardens and being newly added to the regulatory floodplain map under what I believe to be somewhat suspiciously and arbitrarily and capriciously proposed boundaries in what amounts to inverse condemnation by uh a thousand cuts due to negligence and unrestrained infill development in the area, especially rated related to 2602 East 16th, and as precedence has been shown to occur in Tulsa via the attempted abuse of imminent domain in the Pearl District and the Rocket Properties flood map plane uh floodplain map case, I would just call on the state legislator to expand the Oklahoma Safe Neighborhoods Act to include arbitrary, capricious or malicious and unnecessary floodplain map changes as valid claims for damages from municipalities under this act who do not adequately uh address the impacts of the the rampant free-for-all in develop in fill development that's occurring in impaired water shares like the ones I live in in Crow Creek.

Uh, I think that uh, you know, it's also should be noted that higher elevation or I'm sorry, higher value homes at lower elevations within Lewiston Gardens are being removed while lower value homes at higher elevations are being included.

And in 20 in 2018, the lot at 2602 brought in a bunch of fill and changed the grade on that lot, and now it's been rezoned to allow multi-uh family in fill development on that lot that's going to further increase the runoff and pervious, and the city is directly responsible for not regulating that uh effectively and to the degree that they need to.

Thank you.

I appreciate your time.

Good night.

God bless.

Um Mr.

Griffin, I did say at the very beginning that the emergency clause is not required on 4D and 4E tonight.

So thank you.

Sure.

Just to make sure I clarify the concern.

Because looking at the map that's in the backup related to Lewiston Gardens, it looks like most of the areas being removed from the regulatory floodplain.

Are you concerned about being added to it or removed from it?

Or which one would just so I understand either you're the properties, the properties that are being added uh just west of the BA that are actually served by sanitary sewers, not barage, as unlike the areas that are being removed, unlike the areas that I've seen actually pool and flood in the recent flooding, are being removed, while areas upstream at the curve of Columbia are being included.

And my the only the only reason I can think for this being that all of the flood mitigation is underground there.

There's a 30-foot pipe that runs right adjacent to 2602 E 16th.

So and also we're getting the mitigation of 15th Street with the 15th Street project, and also I think 25 21st Street is in the pipeline because they were both closed recently.

So I don't quite understand related to this specific location how that works with especially with the BA being a barrier for any pooling coming to the uh west.

So there's very it doesn't really make any sense for these lower value homes specifically in this area to get included while others get removed.

I mean, if we've we've redone the maps and it and it shows that that there is like a a verifiable reason to remove those, fine, but putting these extra homes in doesn't make sense to me.

That's all.

And I have questions that haven't been fully explained yet.

So thank you.

Okay, thank you.

All right, call the next speaker, please.

The next speaker is Jay Helm on 4D.

I just wanted to give the council a little update since you approved our uh modification to the TIFF in March.

We've now closed on the Phil Cave building.

Uh we're we're the uh proud owners, but we also uh we're in the process of getting the uh architectural work done.

Hopefully by uh the first of September we'll be able to submit to the city the uh building plans, but uh 4D is uh the state leverage act, which the uh state just approved for uh an extension this last session.

So and this is a revenue neutral issue to the state, but it needs to be submitted from the city council, so we appreciate your help, and we're moving forward.

Thank you all very much.

Next speaker, our next speaker is James Alexander Jr.

on item 4P.

Good evening, counselor, good evening and everyone else for P.

This is very interesting to me because not only I'm worried about the uh the coffee shop giving them uh place to have uh whatever they have.

The problem is that uh it seems like we are begging beyond apology.

We don't need any apologies, we need our land back, and we need our money restored back to where it's supposed to be, all of our money.

Any questions?

No, thank you.

Is that the last speaker?
