Item #11: Motion was made by Stephens and seconded by Warner to pass discussion and possible action to consider CCPP-2021-03 Applicant requests approval of the Preliminary Plat for Rustling Oak II Phase 1, a proposed single family dwelling Subdivision containing 47.67 acres more or less, containing 58 lots, 3 Blocks, and 1 Reserve located at S. 129th W. Avenue and W. 71st St. S. in Sapulpa until 6-6-22 to provide on 119th St., current entrance off 71st St., exhibit points for downstream water flow providing standard design. Murray stated this is a 47.67-acre tract, Rustling Oak II, Phase I has several lots with road frontage. The tract will meet all requirements in Light Residential. A TAC Meeting was held on 4/27/22 where the engineer was present to address traffic control, water run-off and water service concerns. The CCPC recommended approval on 5/17/22. Stephens stated a major concern has been water flow into the area effecting water service and fire protection. Alan Betchan stated he provided staff with Water District modeling with full build out and all plans. There is no domestic impact to the area, with the two towers currently in place there are no modifications needed, the system is fully capable to provide water service. There is 1,000 output, plus normal domestic during peak demand and at the lowest part of the tank levels, so there is no fire protection issue either. Next, we have addressed the traffic with relocating the drive, and blind spot, we are going to add turn lanes and with 71st ODOT improvements and modifications of the "J" turns at 81st, 71st and 61st planned for the corridor safety, this is the highest but best answer we have.  ½ acre tracts and DEQ standards for aerobic systems was also discussed. Each lot will have its own permit from DEQ and a nitrogen reduction will also be required for each lot. DEQ must sign off stating each lot is in compliance with DEQ Standards, along with a foot print of location of treatment system. Stormwater run-off, there are issues with 71st culverts being undersized and over topping 71st. We plan on adding two additional detention ponds with new expanded construction. We will work on drainage design off of 129th and work on road improvements such as shouldering ditches, this is part of phase I. Final Plat will address these issues with changes with engineering designs. There was discussion of 125th and 129th being private roads, we will have hydrology reports done on the impacts of the off- site properties as well. Engineer will have culvert improvement recommendations. Currently culverts at 125th have debris that is blocking flow, 129th culverts are undersized. We will address the one way in one way out and offer another way out through the subdivision crossing over Anderson Creek with better connectivity. Phase I & II would be tying off stub streets, which would help with elevated traffic. There was discussion of the current Rustling Oaks sixteen residents and not being a county-maintained road. Stephens discussed the process that would possibly intel court action. HOA was also discussed by Warner. Lastly, blocking roads during construction would help with issue of heavy equipment utilizing certain roads. Several Residents spoke about concerns of Runoff from 125th, we want to protect our interest in our road stated Terry Spencer. We only have one way in and one way out. Spencer's spoke about their purchase of land with restrictions and would like to see restrictions on this development. We also would like to see one acre lots not ½ acre. Stephens explained the process we are currently at this is the preliminary, they still have to do hydrology's and accommodate some of the issues addressed before presenting the Final Plat for approval. They have to show water run off less than current or no more than current rate. They have several commitments to fulfill still. We have a duty as a Board to protect the Counties interest and the citizens interest as well. But we still have to have a balance and provide harmony. Warner spoke about some of the flooding issues with 71st and 125th are self-inflicted. Allen Tyler spoke about a recent neighborhood meeting, we are not against the development, we just want to protect our road and our investment. Our road is twenty years old and cannot sustain the heavy traffic and equipment. The current traffic was discussed, along with flooding issues. Gary Downs spoke to the Board with similar concerns of flooding and culverts, we need solutions to current problems and not create more issues. Stephens discussed the due process that we are hearing here today, this is where we can get concerns out in the open and discuss and see what we can do to make corrections.  There will be design requirements that will be included in the Final Plat stage that is several months out. Stephens spoke of the current issues of 119th not working, current entrance not going to work, drainage issues and needing hydrology reports, road standards addressed. Betchan stated all of these will be addressed with the Final Plat, we will provide the staff with hydrology reports and point of analyze which will be standard to design, we will provide exhibit points downstream and waterflow. I want to make sure we are all on the same page, we don't want to start this process if the Board is not going to support the subdivision. It costs a lot of money for the next important steps and if the Board is not going to fully support the project we need to know. There was discussion of passing this item out   two weeks for Betchan to provide corrected documents with some of the presented concerns today. The Board and Betchan agreed to pass out two weeks and bring back information as stated with 119th, current entrance and exhibit points downstream. Hydrology will be done later before final plat is submitted for approval.

Item #12: Motion was made by Warner and seconded by Whitehouse to sign Resolution#2022-61 rezoning request CCZ-2066-AAB Engineering per recommendations of CCPC. Rezoning from Agricultural District to Light Residential District to allow a single-family dwelling subdivision 68.99 acres, Rustling Oak II. This is for the future development of Rustling Oak II and will meet all requirements of Light Residential. As stated in previous item there was a TAC meeting held on 4/27/22 where serval concerns were discussed traffic, water service and water run-off. There have been several calls to office with concerns. Applicant is present. Neighbors still expressed concern with lot size of being ½ acre and not 1-acre tracts, traffic, water run-off, state of current roads and the possible increased traffic could cause further road issues. DEQ Requirements were discussed, the State Statute requires a minimum of ½ for a treatment system. County regulations of Light Residential and surrounding counties requirements, as well. Stephens insured the Homeowners this is just the first step; they still have concerns to address before the final plat could be approved. We still have items that they are going to go back and work on and report back to the Board with adjustments. Vote as follows: Stephens - Aye, Warner - Aye, Whitehouse - Aye.

Item #13: Motion was made by Stephens and seconded by Whitehouse to approve the use of ARPA Funds for City of Sapulpa for sewer and water project, in the amount of $214,285.71 and create ARPA sub-accounts for Creek City of Sapulpa, M&O and Capital Outlay accounts for tracking purposes and transfer $214,285.71 from 1566-1-2000-1110 ARPA 2021 Commissioners FY2021-2022 to 1566-1-74066-4110 City of Sapulpa Water/Sewer Commissioners FY2022. Vote as follows: Stephens - Aye, Warner - Aye, Whitehouse - Aye. Steve Hardt, City of Sapulpa Representative presented and Robert Petitt spoke to the Board. February 2022, the City passed a Resolution for the ARPA Funds we have since revisited request. We would like to purchase a 600 to 700KW Generator for the West Pump Station, total cost would be $490,000.00. This would help with power outages occur, to maintain water supply. We have would help run pumps to fill the tanks during outages, which would benefit roughly 30-35,000.00 residents in the City of Sapulpa and Rural Water District 2, 3 and Sapulpa Rural Water. We recently had a Risk Assessment done on the Sapulpa Water System, this is one of the recommendations and required by the Federal Government. Barbara Albrittion, INCOG Representative stated that the original application was for three generators, it has been tapered back to just one current? Hardt stated yes, for the west station, we have other funding for the other three. This one is the priority area. Representatives spoke about the May tornado and water issues that arise from no power, this would benefit a situation in the future, if one occurred again. Stephens stated the County has recently purchased two generators and would be available if needed in the future, as well. The daily use during high peak for the city is 2-3 million gallons, again this would help keep water pumping during a crisis. The Board stated this is a good project and would benefit a lot of people.

Item #14: Motion was made by Stephens and seconded by Warner to award Bid#22-9 Commonly Used Items to Merrifield per recommendations of Jana Thomas, Purchasing Agent being the best bid with 90% of items beat other prices. Thomas presented the Board with a spreadsheet laying out the three bidders' items. We have one qualified vendor that responded to the terms and conditions of the bid. They bid 235 items requested, 91 alternative items and didn't have a no bid on any item. Second vendor bid 157 requested items, 91 alternative items and six no bids. The Third vendor bid 98 requested items, 83 alternative items and 53 no bids. We do have an overall increase of about 50%, with some items being less than previous bid. Paper has increased significantly. Warner asked how much has the County spent with Merrifield, Tandra McClellan Payroll Clerk stated $109,629.76 to present. This is a multiple list of items ordered not just office supplies, stated Thomas. Stephens stated just reviewing the spreadsheet, Merrifield is significantly cheaper, I think they are the best bid overall and followed the terms and conditions of the bid. Vote as follows: Stephens - Aye, Warner - Aye, Whitehouse - Aye.

Item #15: Motion was made by Stephens and seconded by Whitehouse to pass award Bid#22-11 6 Month Bridge/HWY Materials and Professional Services for Creek County for one week until 5/31/22 and strike asphalt and emulsions at this time, we will address them under item#19. Thomas spoke to the Board, there was a time that we had a 3 Month and 6 Month HWY Materials Bid due to the unsteady market and unstable prices. I think we are at that point again with the market no longer being steady, it would be beneficial to go back to a 3 Month, so we can have a better response and better prices. We have a couple of items that were bid high, I feel it's due to the unknown market. And we received no bids on others. Stephens asked if the Board could strike the asphalt and emulsions from 6 month and just re-address them with the 3 Month Bid, Goforth stated yes, if Thomas can document on both bids substantial  . Thomas stated yes, I can. Vote as follows: Stephens - Aye, Warner - Aye, Whitehouse - Aye.

Item #16: Motion was made by Warner and seconded by Whitehouse to award quotes for a large fan at the Fairgrounds per recommendations of Jonathan Kieffer, Fairgrounds to Big Ass Fans, in the amount of $13,320.67, as per Title 61 O.S. § 101-138.  Quotes received from Big Ass Fans, LH Construction, Tyco Electric and A & M Electric was a "No Bid". Kieffer stated that this is replacing a fan that was damaged recently from hauling in dirt to the arena. The company is going to reimburse the total cost. The fan cannot be repaired as they do not have any replacement parts and that model of fan is no longer being made. There was discussion of when the fan was originally purchased back in 2010, McClellan stated the cost for three fans in 2010 was $37,710.00, being roughly $12,300.00 each. Warner asked what is the lead time, Kieffer stated 4-6 weeks. Kieffer also stated this is the total cost with installation, as well. Vote as follows: Stephens - Aye, Warner - Aye, Whitehouse - Aye.

Item #17: Motion was made by Stephens and seconded by Warner to let for Bid#22-14 One or More New 1.5 ton or larger Brush Trucks with lease purchase financing to be opened 6-13-22. Thomas stated this was on the agenda last week and was stricken due to specifications being changed and the bid revised. The original discussion was that the truck was on the State Contract and after research it is not. This would be for one or more for any other Fire Department to be able to utilize this bid as well. Vendors are responsible for financing and lease purchase. City of Bristow is heading up this bid, as well. Chief Conkling, thanked the Board and the County for their hard work with the fire tax. It is making an impact to the county; it is allowing us to have more resources and capability that most citizens cannot see. Olive and Shamrock have already benefited from this tax with a used truck and we are excited to do the same. Vote as follows: Stephens - Aye, Warner - Aye, Whitehouse - Aye.

Item #18: Motion was made by Stephens and seconded by Whitehouse to let for Bid#22-15 Used Railroad Tank Cars for Creek County to be opened 6/06/22. Thomas stated that I think if we went with a 3 Month timeframe, we would get a better response from Bidders especially with the steal prices. The Board reviewed the bid information, I have added lead-time, and quantity discount if we purchased "x" number of tanks.  Board discussed the last Used Railroad Tank Bid being denied. Vote as follows: Stephens - Aye, Warner - Aye, Whitehouse - Aye.

Item #19: Motion was made by Stephens and seconded by Whitehouse to let for Bid#22-16 3-Month Asphalt & Emulsions to be opened 6-6-22. The Board reviewed the bid and discussed it starting July 1, 2022 and other lines added and items from previous bids. Vote as follows: Stephens - Aye, Warner - Aye, Whitehouse - Aye.

Item #20: DISCUSSION ONLY/NO ACTION to consider having County employees receive training from the Oklahoma Local Technology Assistance Program (OK LTAP) at Oklahoma State University to train County CDL drivers. Warner stated there has been several changes with CDL drivers. There are several classes being offered and two people from our county can go get trained by OSU and then come back and train other county employees. They must be a CDL Licensed Driver for at least two years. I was hoping that ACCO or CED would do this, but they are not. The Board discussed that this would allow our employees to be trained by two of our county employees, then go to the DMV to take the test. Andrew Goforth, Assistant District Attorney asked what the cost is for the class, Warner stated they are no cost to the county. With my early research of new changes to CDL, the average cost is $4,500.00 per CDL Driver. This is a huge cost savings, for us to train our own. This is a first of many changes beefing up the CDL requirements. Warner stated he has no one at his barn to send, Stephens stated I could think of three potential employees McCleary, Pilgrim or Murray.
