Thank you for joining our conversation on OKC Central. We encourage your discussion but ask that you stay within the bounds of our commenting and posting policy.
Comments
I’ve posted agendas in the past, but I’ll admit I’ve not always been diligent in doing so. And yes, you can show up and sign up to speak. You can request to speak on an individual item before the meeting starts, or you can speak at the end of the meeting. They meet at 10:30 a.m. on the 24th floor of the CityPlace Tower, 204 N Robinson (building with UMB Bank on the ground floor and immediately north of First National Tower.
I think numbers 13 thru 15 should be delayed as I think the general concept behind The Alliance is deeply flawed and I do not think it will pass council as originally designed.
Just a note but according to Council, the Alliance already exists. What the Council will be voting on is if they will be helping to fund the Alliance (in exchange for their “services”).
Just as here (#15), it would be hard for the OCURA to negotiate with the Alliance if they didn’t already exist.
Since the Alliance already exists, are its employees still employees of the City and or Chamber? If they are employed by both I am not sure how it lessens the supposed strain that they go thru. They are going to be pulled in just as many directions but have yet another entity to answer. Council is asking the same questions and I hope they get the answers over the next couple of weeks.
Steve, correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t this the first time the public has ever seen an OCURA agenda?!
#12 is certainly disappointing as it seems to be giving the Hill at Bricktown a time extension, that for all we know could be 5 years or more.
#18 is also something that I believe every interested urbanist should take note of, if this is to be an ongoing practice.
