SUBMISSION AND ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF RECEIPT OF THE WASTEWATER OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE ANNUAL REPORT AS OF JUNE 30, 2014.
Body
BACKGROUND: On November 13, 2001, the City Council and the Norman Utilities Authority (Council, NUA) approved Resolution R-0102-55, establishing a Citizen's Oversight Committee. The purpose of this "Wastewater Oversight Committee" is to ensure that "the voter-approved sales tax, excise tax and maintenance fee are spent in accordance with the ordinances approved in the August 14, 2001 election." The makeup of the Committee was amended by Resolution R-0102-55 to establish a Chair elected by the membership of the Committee. The enabling resolutions direct the Committee to prepare an annual report for the Council/NUA and the public to discuss the expenditure of the funds authorized by the August, 2001 wastewater referenda over the previous fiscal year.
DISCUSSION: The Wastewater Oversight Committee met periodically throughout fiscal year 2013-2014 (FYE 14) and reviewed the Council/NUA actions related to the expenditure of the authorized funds. The FYE 14 Annual Report focuses on the progress of projects in the City's Wastewater Master Plan.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Council/NUA accept the Wastewater Oversight Committee's Annual Report for fiscal year 2013-2014.
