How were the items on the October 11th Election ballot chosen? A group called Destination Owasso approached the Owasso City Council with the list of propositions and re-quested a General Obligation Bond Election be called by the Council.

Can the City decide to spend the money on different projects if the bonds are passed? No. Ordinances 993 and 994 established the projects upon which the City is legally bound to spend any result-ing funds. If the listed projects are completed under budget, any remaining funds must be spent on the items in the same category for which bonds were approved (youth sports facilities improvements, street improvements, and park improvements).

How were the dollar amounts calculated for the projects? Prior to approaching the City Council, the Destination Owasso group performed research on similar projects throughout the surrounding region and US. The dollar amounts listed within the ballot language are based upon the costs of similar projects and were translated into estimates for how much they would cost to complete in Owasso.

Has the City performed any design and engineering estimates on these projects? Given that a full-scale engineer's estimate can cost approximately 10% of the total project cost, no detailed en-gineering design will been completed until Owasso citizens have voted on the ballot measures.

Is there a project schedule? No. A project schedule will be developed subsequent to Owasso citizens voting on the ballot measures.

What will the projects look like? The ultimate design of the projects would be determined by the Owasso City Council as they award contracts for each individual project. On April 5, 2011, the City Council adopted the Quality of Life Initiative Final Report and Plan as a policy document that establishes the guiding development principles for the future growth and quality of life in Owasso. Should one or all of the propositions pass, final details of projects will be determined by the City Council based on recommendations received from citizens and user groups.

Can you build two (2) miles of streets for $5,000,000? The two projects listed under Proposition Two provide for the widening of Garnett Road from 96th to 106th Street, and 76th Street from the Highway 169 interchange to 129th E Avenue. In September of 2010, the 76th Street Widening Project was approved to receive Federal Surface Transportation Funding for the right of way acquisition, utility relocation, and engineering portions of the project, meaning the City will receive Federal fund-ing for 80% of these costs. In September of 2011, staff was notified that Surface Transportation Funding for the construction phase of the project was approved, which will also provide 80% in Federal funding for this portion of the project. With this in mind, approximately $1,300,000 would be needed for the 76th Street Widening Pro-ject, with the remaining $3,700,000 available for the widening of Garnett Road. Intersections on Garnett Road at E. 96th Street North and E. 106th Street North are complete or are already funded; therefore this amount of funding should be adequate to complete these projects.

What does "at a site to be determined" mean? The language "at a site to be determined" has been included in Proposition One and Three regarding the build-ing of soccer facilities, an aquatic park, and a festival park. This language allows the Owasso City Council to choose to utilize current City property or to acquire new land upon which to construct the facilities. As with the overall look of any approved projects, this decision is at the discretion of the Owasso City Council.

Frequently Asked Quest ions

6

How much will I have to pay if the bonds are passed? Property taxes are assessed based upon the valuation of all taxable private property (home, land, and busi-ness). The following chart illustrates estimated tax obligations as a result of the proposed bond based upon the value of your home:

To view the calculation sheet used to obtain the numbers above click here.

Is there any way I can lower the amount of property taxes I pay?

The Tulsa and Rogers County Assessor offer programs which aim to reduce the tax burden of residents living on low and fixed incomes. These programs offer assistance through tax refunds/credits, valuation freezes, partial exemptions, and full exemptions for disabled veterans. To view a complete listing of these programs, click here.

How much do I currently pay in property taxes to the City of Owasso? The City of Owasso has not collected property taxes for capital projects since 1992.

How will long-term maintenance on the projects be paid? Projects that expand City services may have maintenance costs that will become normal operating costs for the department responsible for maintenance, and thus will paid out of the general operating budget. However, it should be noted that the City of Owasso maintains agreements with operating groups which ensure that the groups who utilize the facilities are responsible for maintaining the properties and facilities to a high standard.

Would there be enough sales tax money in the future to pay for these projects? One cent of the three cent sales tax in Owasso is restricted for capital projects. Currently, most of that restricted one cent is being used to pay debt service (principal and interest) on notes issued to pay for current capital pro-jects, primarily new streets construction. Over the next eight years, that debt will be paid off and those funds will become available to fund new projects. If all other capital project priorities were deferred, the projects listed on the October 11th propositions could be funded from the third penny sales tax over the next seven to eight years.

Pol l ing Locat ions

The Owasso Sales Tax Watchdog Committee was initially formed as part of the 1988 sales tax extension bond election. The purpose for its formation was to provide a body of representatives from various interest groups within the Owasso community to moni-tor the use of the designated “third penny” of local sales tax. On October 14, 2003, the voters of Owasso approved a ballot measure that, in effect made the “third penny” sales tax an on-going tax (absent future action to remove the tax on the part of the Council or the voters themselves). The Sales Tax Watchdog Committee was essentially re-established at that time as a part of the proposition approved by the voters.

The Owasso Sales Tax Watchdog Committee is charged with monitoring the expendi-ture of the proceeds from the “third penny” sales tax approved by citizens in 1988, 1997, and 2003. Additionally, the committee is responsible for “reporting” to the public (in any manner deemed appropriate) the use of those funds and any other informa-tion the committee believes the public should know.

It is the duty of the Owasso Sales Tax Watchdog Committee to provide a forum for oversight and a vehicle for reporting on the use of funds provided by the “third penny” sales tax. The committee is charged to report to the public that funds from the “third penny” are spent in a manner consistent with that which the voters approved. Terms of the committee members are indefinite and members can only be replaced ac-cording to policy adopted by the City Council.

The Owasso Sales Tax Watchdog Committee consists of the following members:

Working With Character Terry Ridgway—Public Works Department

Melony Hill—Utility Billing Department

 

 

11

There are very few character traits that could not be used to de-scribe Melony Hill. Melony has been employed by the City of Owasso for 11 years. During her 11 year tenure Melony has been the loyal face of Owasso to many of our citizens who have grown to know her as someone they can count on to put their needs before her own. She consistently shows consideration and personal concern for any person that she is helping.

Melony understands that in her position with the City she is faced on a daily ba-sis with many challenging situations as

she deals with customers who are experiencing difficult circumstances in their lives or who may just need an extra minute of her time. She can always be counted on to offer a cheerful greeting and a positive attitude.

When asked what she enjoys most about her work, she states, “I enjoy the people I work with and the customers that I’ve gotten to know over the years.”

To find out how to participate in the Owasso CARES volunteer events, visit http://cityofowasso.com/OSNI/owassoCARES.html

Terry Ridgway has been employed with the City of Owasso since July of 2002 and is the Streets Department Supervisor. He is re-sponsible for directing the maintenance of 246 lane miles of city streets, which includes pothole repairs, large street repairs, side-walk construction, curb and gutter repair. In addition, his crew is responsible for infrastructure and right-of-way restoration for both the streets and water divisions after a water leak or other work has been completed that may have damaged city property.

His crew is also responsible for traffic signal maintenance and signage installation. During the winter months, Terry’s crew of four provides snow and ice control throughout the city.

You will never hear Terry say something cannot be done. With a smile, he always says “We’ll see what we can do”. He graciously accepts the daily challenges of getting the job done no matter what.

COMMUNITY

RESPONSIBILITY

By Michele Dempster

Fall and football are upon us. Whether you are a loyal follower of a youth team, a cherished high school, college or pro team, no matter where you look, there are signs of the changing season. Seasons change, just as championship teams change, just as communities change. Someone once said “One thing is certain. Things are going to change.” Change is a part of life – what each of us should reflect upon is not only how we adapt to change, but also our responsibility for change. I stop and wonder, “What can I do to affect positive change?” A typical football team consists of eleven offen-sive players and eleven defensive players, play-ing with diligence and determination for the du-ration of four quarters. Each person on the field, regardless of talent, has a responsibility to know each play and each assignment. If a quarter-back does not follow the play called, the other players cannot work together effectively. If a lineman does not protect the quarterback, the whole team loses yardage. A community, like a football team, consists of individuals working each day with diligence and determination to fulfill their individual roles and responsibilities, while being part of something bigger than them-selves. John F. Kennedy said, “Ask not what your coun-try can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.” President Kennedy’s renowned inaugural speech was given during a time of change for our country. The words still ring true today. Will you have a say in how things change in our community, our state and our nation?

One thing we can do for our country and our community is to make voting in local, state, and national elections a priority. Vot-ing is not just a right, it is a responsibility. Just as each player on the football field is important to the success of each play in each game, each citizen and his or her vote is important to the success of our community, our state, and our nation. Of-ten it is easy to get so caught up in fulfilling our responsibilities in one area that we fail to fulfill our responsibilities somewhere else. Based on numbers at the polls, voting is one of those responsibilities in which we as a community and we as a nation are fail-ing. I acknowledge that it is difficult to leave the house early enough to vote on the way to work; lunch is busy and hectic; and after work there is just too much going on. But yet, if a friend dropped by, I would make time for her. If I had an evening work meeting, I would make arrangements with someone to help out with activities to en-sure my kids were able to get where they need to be. So why do I not put the same kind of energy and effort into getting my-

FALL INTO THE HABIT OF

GOOD CHARACTER

September

Dependability — Fulfilling what I consented to do, even if it means unexpected sacrifice

October

Thoroughness — Knowing what factors will diminish the effectiveness of my work or words if neglected

November

Determination — Purposing to accomplish right goals at the right time, regardless of the opposition

self to the polls? Just as it is my responsibility to make sure my children are fed and go to school, and just as it is my responsibility to complete assignments at work, it is also my responsibility to go to the poll and vote. When I stop and really think about it, I am struck by the message I portray and the lack of re-sponsibility I demonstrate each time I fail to vote. How many countries do not provide their citi-zens the right to vote? How many voters in other countries fear for their lives when they travel to and from their polling place? How many people fought for my right to vote? How many peo-ple died for my right to vote? Each time I fail to make voting a priority, I show a blatant disre-gard for those who suffered and gave everything for this right. As a female, I have had the right to vote for less than 100 years in the over 200 year history of the United States, which means I of all people should value and appreciate this right and responsibility that has been granted to me through the diligence and determination of others before me. As I reflect on my responsibility to my community, my state and my nation, I encourage each citizen of this community, regardless of gender, race, or income to join me at the polls. If you are not registered, go to your local tag agency and register. Schedule elections on your calen-dar just like a dentist appointment or a business meeting, and make voting a priority. Let us be known as a community that displays the character trait of responsibility, fulfilling our responsibil-ity to vote and affect change.
