Body

INFORMATION: Section 2-101(e) of Chapter 2 of the Norman Code of Ordinances states “The City Manager shall be required to place policy and budget items on the Agenda of the City Council Meetings when three (3) Councilmembers request it.”  This item has been submitted as a “Rule of Three” request by Councilmembers Bierman, Hickman, Karjala, and Wilson.

 

The request from the Council members is attached. Please also find attached a Resolution prepared in accordance with the requested asking that a proposal to use $8.75 million of authorized Project Cost for Cultural Facilities be used to construct a Senior Center on land owned by the University of Oklahoma that is generally east of the YMCA.  The 2008 Project Plan Amendment required use of the $8.75 million Cultural Facilities authorization to be reviewed and approved by the UNP TIF Statutory Review Committee.  Last time a matter went back to the Statutory Review Committee for review and comment the Council adopted a detailed Resolution to provide a historical background of the UNP TIF from its adoption to date.  I have included that type of information in the Resolution.  Staff will be available at the meeting to respond to Council questions or comments.
