SUBJECT: Application for Surface Transportation Program Funds
North 145th East Avenue, 861h Street North to 106th Street North Rehabilitation
Project
DATE: January 10, 2020
BACKGROUND:
In November 2019, Indian Nations Council of Governments ( INCOG) opened applications for the
FY 2023 Surface Transportation Program ( STP) funds. These funds are made available on an
annual basis by the Federal Highway Administration ( FHWA), through the Oklahoma Department
of Transportation ( ODOT), for the implementation of eligible transportation improvements in the
Tulsa Urbanized Area. Until last year, road rehabilitation and reconstruction projects scored
together, with the higher scoring projects being successfully funded. Reconstruction projects
traditionally scored higher because the scoring favored projects in high growth areas.
In 2018, INCOG opened a section of scoring for street rehabilitation projects. These projects will
not be scored the same as capacity improvement projects, such as East 76th Street North
Widening and Garnett Road Widening, due to their smaller budget needs. Rehabilitation
projects are limited improvements within the existing road right -of -way, so the environmental
impacts are minimal compared to a road widening project increasing capacity.
North 145th East Avenue, 861h Street North to 1061h Street North is a project that qualifies for these
funds. The original project was a two (2) lane county road that has been incorporated into the
City of Owasso street maintenance system. The lanes have been widened in several areas to
accommodate subdivisions like Preston Lakes, Camelot Estates and the Villages at Silver Creek.
The project was constructed with asphalt surfacing, which has withstood many years of large
traffic volumes ( as high as 10,000 vehicles per day) due to excellent construction of the
subgrade and base material. However, after many years of service the asphalt surface course
needs replacement.
SURFACE TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM FUNDS:
INCOG administers the grant funding and has established a selection process for the distribution
of STP funds. Priority funding is given to projects that meet federal regulations, help advance the
Regional Transportation Plan through safety improvements, and reduce traffic congestion.
Proposed projects are evaluated for eligibility and prioritized based on a 100 -point rating system.
While the two project categories ( rehabilitation and capacity improvements) are scored and
prioritized separately, they both compete for the total funding amount available.
The total funding for projects is $ 15,000,000 for the FY 2022 -2023 funding year. $ 6,000,000 is
designated to regional expressway system implementation, which leaves $ 9, 000, 000 for
remaining projects. No single entity can receive more than a sum of $3, 000, 000 for any fiscal
year for all projects.
In November, 2019, INCOG solicited for STP funding applications with an application submittal
deadline of January 17, 2020, and a resolution submittal deadline of February 19, 2020.
PROPOSED RESOLUTION FOR CONSTRUCTION PHASE:
Similar to the process utilized in obtaining federal funding assistance for previous STP projects,
such as the East 861h Street North resurfacing project submitted last year, a resolution is necessary
in order to complete the application process. The application will request federal funding
assistance for the construction of the roadway improvements. If this project is selected in the
spring of 2020, the funding for construction will be targeted in FY 2022 -2023 or sooner, depending
on funding availability.
CONCEPTUAL COST SUMMARY:
North 145th East Avenue is considered a secondary arterial in Owasso. The roadway is heavily
used and conveys residential, commercial, school and commuter traffic to and from Owasso.
The proposed work for this section of roadway is to remove the surface course of pavement and
replace it with a new surface course. The pavement will be restriped. Drainage will be improved
by cleaning the existing drainage ditches for positive drainage.
Based on the conceptual cost estimate, the anticipated cost for construction of the proposed
roadway improvements is listed below. Construction administration ( testing, inspection and
administration of pay applications) is equal to 10% of the construction fee. Budgeting another
15% for engineering, surveying, and geotechnical exploration, the estimated total project cost is
1, 717, 665.
If authorized by the City Council, the City will pay for engineering design locally and request
ODOT funding to contribute toward construction. ODOT funding for this project would be
through the Surface Transportation Program, which would fund 80% of eligible construction costs,
while the local government funds 20 %. Based upon this information, the following is a project
estimate:

PROPOSED ACTION:
Staff intends to present this item for discussion at the January 14, 2020, Work Session with intent to
have an item on the January 21, 2020, City Council agenda for consideration and action
relating to a resolution requesting ODOT to consider the construction phase of the North 145th
East Avenue street rehabilitation project as a candidate for federal funding assistance through
the Surface Transportation Program.

SUBJECT: Small Cell Wireless Facilities Deployment
Proposed Ordinance and Fee
DATE: January 10, 2020
BACKGROUND:
In February 2018, the Oklahoma Small Wireless Facilities Deployment Act ( SB1388) was
introduced and signed into law in April 2018. The Act outlines procedures and rules for deploying
and collocating small cell equipment in public rights -of -way. The bill also establishes a permitting
process for small cell deployments.
Small cell facilities cover a smaller, targeted, localized area to provide 5G connectivity to
wireless network subscribers in areas that typically present capacity and coverage challenges
with traditional wide -area wireless networks. Small cell facilities are smaller in size and thus are
more conducive for placement on an existing support structure or installation on a single private
utility pole erected for the sole or primary purpose of supporting a small cell facility.
PROPOSED ORDINANCE:
Per the Oklahoma Small Wireless Facilities Deployment Act, the wireless providers are allowed to
install their small cell facTties in residential and commercial areas as long as they utilize a public
right -of -way or easement. In addition, the pole material selected for each site is vague and
does not clarify who has the authority to select such material.
As a result, City staff is proposing an ordinance which would allow staff to regulate the
permitting, placement and aesthetics of the new cellular equipment. Following is a summary of
the proposed rules and regulations within the ordinance:
Small cell supporting structures shall be located a minimum of five- hundred ( 500) feet
from any other small cell supporting structure;
Small cell facilities and supporting structures shall be set back from any road surface or
curb no less than three (3) feet;
Small cells and supporting structures shall be designed to blend into the surrounding
environment through the use of material, color, camouflaging and architectural
treatment;
Small cell facilities shall not exceed fifty (50) feet in height;
The use of any portion of a small cell facility or supporting structure for advertising or signs
other than warning or equipment information signs is prohibited;
Application Requirements ( see proposed ordinance)
PROPOSED FEE:
As stated in the Oklahoma Small Wireless Facilities Deployment Act, municipalities have the
ability to charge an application fee, permit fee and for access to right -of -way and public
easement for the installation, modification or replacement of a utility pole and the collocation of
an associated small wireless facility. The proposed fee per pole is $ 250. 00, which is in
accordance with state law.

OKLAHOMA, THAT, TO -WIT:
SECTION ONE ( 1): Part 17, Utilities, is hereby amended to include Chapter 6, Small Cell Facilities,
Sections 17 -601 through 17 -607, shall be enacted into the Code of Ordinances of the City of
Owasso, and shall read as follows:
SECTION 17 -601 DEFINMONS
Collocation - the mounting or installation of transmission equipment on an existing
support structure for the purpose of transmitting and /or receiving radio frequency
signals for providing telecommunication services.
Decorative Pole - an authority pole that is specially designed and placed for
aesthetic purposes, and on which no appurtenances or attachments, other than
a small cell facility or specially designed informational or directional signage or
temporary holiday or special event attachments, have been placed or are
permitted to be placed according to nondiscriminatory municipal rules or code.
Small Cell Facility - a low-powered wireless base station which functions much in
the some way as larger cells in a wide -area, mobile wireless network that are
typically installed relatively high on a telecommunications tower, to provide signal
coverage to a large geographic area. Small cells facilities cover a smaller,
targeted, localized area to provide connectivity to wireless network subscribers in
areas that typically present capacity and coverage challenges to traditional
wide -area wireless networks. Small cell facilities are smaller in size and thus are
more conducive to collocation on an existing support structure or installation on a
private utility's, single -use utility pole erected for the sole or primary purpose of
supporting a small cell facility.
Utility Pole - a long, slender, generally vertical and usually cylindrical object, other
than a telecommunications tower, that is or may be used in whole or in part by a
public or private utility for wireline, wireless or optical telecommunications,
electrical distribution, lighting, traffic control, signage or similar functions.
SECTION 17 -602 INTENT AND PURPOSE OF WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATION
REGULATION

The City may toll the running of the sixty (60), ninety (90) or one hundred ( 150) days
if it notifies the applicant within thirty (30) days of submission that its application is
incomplete. The timeframes begin to run when an application is first submitted, not
when it is deemed complete by the City.
A determination of incompleteness tolls the timeframes only if the City provides
notice to the applicant in writing within thirty ( 30) days of the application's
submission, specifically delineating all missing information, and specifying the
code provision, ordinance, application instruction, or otherwise publicly stated
procedures that require the information to be submitted.
Following an
applicant's submission in response to a determination of
incompleteness, the City may reach a subsequent determination of
incompleteness based solely on the applicant's failure to supply the specific
information that was requested within the first thirty ( 30) days. The timeframes
begin to run again when the applicant makes its supplemental submission;
provided that the timeframes may be tolled again if the City notifies the applicant
within ten ( 10) days that the supplemental submission did not provide the specific
information identified in the original notice delineating missing information.
These timeframes may be extended beyond the sixty ( 60), ninety ( 90) or one
hundred ( 150) days by mutual consent of the applicant and the City.
SECTION 17 -607 DETERMINATION OF APPLICATION
Upon denial or approval of an application for collocation, construction or
installation of small cell facility and all other telecommunications facilities, or
modification of an existing facility, the City shall adopt a written determination
which clearly states the basis for the decision to approve or deny an application. If
an application is denied, the written notice must include substantial evidence in
support of the denial. A notice is considered written if it is included in the minutes
of the public meeting in which the application was denied.
If the City fails to approve or deny an application seeking approval of
modification of an existing small cell facility within the timeframe for review,
accounting for any tolling, the request shall be deemed granted; provided that
the deemed granted shall not become effective until the applicant notifies the
City in writing after the review period has expired, accounting for any tolling, that
the application has been deemed granted.
If the City does not act upon any application for collocation, construction or
installation of a small cell facility, within their prescribed timeframes, then the
applicant may seek redress in a court of competent jurisdiction within thirty ( 30)
days.
SECTION SEVEN ( 7): SEVERABILITY
If any section, sentence, clause or phrase of this ordinance or any part of it is for any reason
found to be invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the
validity of the remainder of this ordinance or any part of it.
