Ms. Jayne Crumpley, 423 Elm Avenue, thanked Council for adopting Resolution R-1718-100 adding a parking restriction on one side of the street on Symmes Street. She hopes that Council will look seriously at restricting parking period on Symmes Street because of the traffic. * Blue Card Question Procedure. Mr. Steve Ellis, 633 Reed Avenue, said he had submitted a virtual Blue Card request via email for Item 26 which added a parking restriction to Symmes Street and did not get an answer to his question concerning the status of the parking policy that was adopted by staff. Mayor Pro Tem Castleberry apologized to Mr. Ellis for forgetting to discuss this. He asked the City Attorney to please respond. Mr. Jeff Bryant, City Attorney, said staff did receive the blue card request regarding the resolution restricting the parking on Symmes and James Garner Avenue. He said the question seemed to relate to whether Staff had the authority to create a process for considering requests to impose parking restrictions. He said the structure of Norman’s government is Council/Manager form of government, generally meaning that Council makes the policy decisions and the City Manager is the Chief Executive Officer who administers the government in those policies that are put in place. Section 20-201 of the Norman City Code gives Council the sole authority to designate streets as through streets, one-way streets, or as truck routes. He said through the adoption of Section 20-202 of the City Code, Council explicitly delegated the authority to manage the public streets including prohibiting parking to the City Manager or his designated representative. He said citizens have no inherent power to impose parking restrictions on their own, that is left to the City Council. However, pursuant to the authority given in Section 20-202, Staff had developed a policy to give citizens an avenue to request parking restrictions on the streets. To ensure input from the affected residents, the policy, similar to the street-naming policy, requires 60% of the affected residents by the restriction to sign up for the request. He said if the threshold is met, then parking restrictions can be imposed without requiring a vote of Council. He said recently, City Council, in its role as policy makers, requested a mechanism be included in the internal policy to address situations where the 60% threshold could not be met, but where public safety or other concerns might warrant the imposition of those parking restrictions. Council approved amending the policy and Staff amended the policy. He said Council also asked that the resolution on tonight’s agenda be moved forward for a vote that would impose parking restrictions on two particular streets, Symmes Street and James Garner Avenue. He said this was a situation where the streets were narrow and congested, but the 60% threshold was not met. He said this item was in direct response to Council’s direction. Mr. Ellis said he was at a loss because he had not had a chance to look up the authorization cited by Mr. Bryant. He said it looks like when it comes to this sort of policy, the City was able to find a fairly quick policy to do something they were interested in doing. He said he wanted to find a distinction between this policy and the street naming policy. He said he will look at Section 20-202. * City Council Minutes Page 17 March 13, 2018 Miscellaneous Discussion, continued: Student Government Association. Ms. Mattie McClung, 1701 Elm Avenue, said she was a sophomore at the University of Oklahoma (OU), and is here on behalf of the Student Government Association and presently serves as Director of the Exterior Department. She thanked City Council for their service and dedication to the community. She has lived in Norman for 20 years and has seen all of the good things that City Council does. She looks forward to meeting all of them and hopefully working on some initiative together. Councilmember Bierman apologized to Ms. McClung for not responding to her email. She said she would like to have a discussion with her about student engagement in City Council meetings. She appreciated her coming tonight and introducing herself to Council and looked forward to engaging in a conversation about better connecting the students at OU with City government. * Right of Due Process Violations. Mr. TaMichael McCloud, 328 East Main Street, said he is the former owner of McCloud’z Pipes and in 2015, his business in Norman was raided because he sold drug paraphernalia according to Oklahoma State Statute Title §63 Section 2-101. He said the statute has not changed since 2015, but the City of Norman allows the sale of items of drug paraphernalia today. He said his business was not selling items of drug paraphernalia as evident by the City Council’s own action by allowing the sale of these items today without a change in the Oklahoma Statute. He asked the City of Norman to investigate how a business could be raided for doing something legal. He said he would also like an investigation of another store that was raided. He provided Council a copy of the Affidavit for FattHedz located at 320 White Street. He said the differences in the affidavits should raise questions. Items submitted for the record 1.

Chandler * Item 27, LaMonde Charter School, 1801 North Porter. Mr. Robert Huskey, 3615 Chatham Court, said the representative used the word “we” when he was talking about things that had been done by the City in other places. He said this suggested some kind of coordination of efforts and cautioned everyone about how they use their words. Councilmember Clark said she is very much in favor of LaMonde Charter School. She said she is very pro-public education but everyone suffered when the public schools lost the French Immersion Program, which will be offered at LaMonde. She wished them good luck. Councilmember Allison said he is very excited for this new project in Ward Eight. He said it is a new educational opportunity and it is great to see parents who are so passionate about the French Immersion Program that they worked to get it back in Norman. He said he hopes to visit the school in the fall. * Thanks to Audience. Councilmember Bierman said she appreciated seeing some new faces in the audience as well as the old faces. Councilmember Karjala said City Council meetings are forums for engagement by the public and it is nice to hear from people. She said she likes to see people come to the meeting and to hear different perspectives. She thanked them for being here and also thanked Staff for staying late for all of their meetings. Councilmember Wilson thanked everyone for coming tonight. Councilmember Holman thanked the audience for attending the meeting and those viewing at home. * Sonic Boom. Councilmember Wilson said there was a loud explosion this evening and she has discovered it was a meteor that caused a sonic boom, in case anyone wondered what it was. * City Council Minutes Page 18 March 13, 2018 Miscellaneous Discussion, continued: Park and Creek Cleanup in Ward Six. Councilmember Clark said a Park and Creek Cleanup in Ward Six is scheduled Sunday, April 7th, from 10:00 a.m. to noon at Vineyard Park. She said she is also reaching out to Woodlake Estates, Woodcrest Addition, and Sequoyah Trail Addition. She said this will be part of the Great American Cleanup, Keep Oklahoma Beautiful. She urged everyone to get outdoors and do some cleanup of this beautiful community and bring their whole family. * The One Event. Councilmember Clark said the Norman Arts Council “The One” Event will be Friday, March 24th, at MainSite Gallery. * Norman Arts Council Panel Discussion.

Councilmember Holman said he is hosting a Ward Seven Meeting at 4:00 p.m. on Sunday, March 18th, at the Cobblestone Creek Clubhouse located at 1350 Cobblestone Creek Drive. He said the primary topic would be the 12th Avenue S.E. Road Widening and Improvement Project. He said City Staff will be available to answer questions. * Use Tax. Councilmember Castleberry said although the City’s sales tax is continuing to go down, the use tax is going up. He said Use Tax is what is collected on online sales. He said once the agreement with Amazon was finalized as well as some of the other online retailers, we will be seeing more and more Use Tax reimbursements. He said given that the retail landscape has changed, cities whose primary revenue source is sales tax are seeing a drop but the City of Norman is holding their own. ***** Item 29, being: ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, Councilmember Karjala moved that the meeting be adjourned, which motion was duly seconded by Councilmember Holman and the question being upon adjournment of the meeting, a vote was taken with the following result: YEAS: Councilmembers Allison, Bierman, Clark, Holman, Karjala, Wilson, Mayor Pro Tem Castleberry NAYES: None The Mayor Pro Tem declared the motion carried and the meeting was adjourned at 7:15 p.m. ATTEST: __________________________________ ___________________________________ City Clerk Mayor
