In discussion of the Council action to appropriate Norman Forward Fund balance to pay for the construction bid costs for the James Garner Avenue extension project in excess of the preliminary engineer’s estimate (approximately $1.5 million, effectively to come from savings from the construction of the Central Library project). Member Rogers had concerns about the ability to finance the remaining Norman Forward projects. Norman City Council previously approved $1.5 million, originally allocated for the James Garner project, be transferred to the Young Family Athletic Center (YFAC) project. Member Rogers’ concern was that there was not going to be enough Norman Forward money left for the James Garner project, the YFAC project, and other remaining projects. Member Rogers suggested that the money for the YFAC project be transferred from the General Fund or other City revenues, not from the Norman Forward Fund balance, as to insure the financing and completion of other Norman Forward projects. Member Rogers motioned that the CFOB make this recommendation to the Norman City Council, which was duly seconded by Member Price. The motion passed unanimously.

Their contract is in negotiation. They will set consumer fees. There will be a set-aside that allows low income people to use the facility at a reduced rate. This facility is to be self-sustaining. Healthy Living will fund the operation of the facility, so there is no City of Norman contribution to the facility once it is up and running. This operating agreement will go to the Ad Hoc Committee for the Senior Citizens’ Center in January 2023. Negotiations are also under way for the operating agreement with Santa Fe Family Life for the operation of the Young Family Athletic Center (YFAC), and with Norman Regional Health System for the operation of the “NMotion” health and sports performance facility to be housed in the YFAC. These operating agreements are also expected to go before the YFAC Ad Hoc Committee in January 2023. ****** ITEM 5, being CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL, REJECTION, AMENDMENT AND/OR POSTPONEMENT OF ONGOING PROJECTS Jason Olson gave the project(s) update. The “topping out” ceremony for the Senior Citizens’ Center was held. The structure is expected to be enclosed by March and completed by August 2023. The Cherry Creek Park playground system was somewhat re-arranged to accommodate neighbors who had a desire for more privacy. Some neighbors felt like the playground had too much of a direct view into their backyards. This adjustment added a $5,000 to $8,000 increase in the cost of this project. The shell of the Young Family Athletic Center is being completed. It is expected that this facility will be enclosed by March and completed by November or December 2023. Flintco Construction is expected to have The Reave’s Park Project substantially completed by December 2022. The Parks and Recreation Department will make further landscaping improvements to the park. The ribbon cutting for the Norman Forward Reaves Park project will be in March 2023. Norman Forward Citizens Financial Oversight Board Minutes December 6, 2022 Page 4 Griffin Park phase 6 and phase 6B was discussed.
