5. Discussion and possible action to consider accepting the public bid for the house located at 122 N. 12th, Lot 1, Block 50, Collinsville O.T. -- The trustees voted to re-advertise and try for a better bid than the single $1000 bid received in the first attempt.

6. Discussion and possible action to consider the GRDA Sales & Power Purchase Contract. -- Approved (had been discussed in a recent work session and previously considered Sept. 4th, 2007)

7. Discussion and possible action to consider the Honeywell International Performance Based Contract and the Honeywell Global Finance Contract. -- Honeywell's contract offer was declined. The door was left open for possible reconsideration at a later date. City staff recommened the city not take on the up-front debt (over $3 million) with the possibility of savings not covering the debt payments. With only a single city meter reader (who would have been moved to another position) savings from automated water and electric meters (& other energy saving changes) did not seem worth the risk. The Honeywell representatives were disappointed as they said they had already invested $100,000 in the evaluation process in Collinsville. (Previous coverage: April 16 & May 7 & Aug 6)

8. Discussion and possible action to consider Ordinance 804, an ordinance to levy and assess an excise tax of 5% upon the gross receipts derived from rent for occupancy of hotel or motel rooms, subject to the subsequent approval of the citizens of Collinsville, Oklahoma. -- Approved (will be on the Dec 11, 2007 city ballot)

9. Discussion and possible action to consider Ordinance 805, an ordinance to accept a non-exclusive franchise agreement with Oklahoma Natural Gas Company for twenty five years to pay a franchise fee, subject to the subsequent approval of the citizens of Collinsville, Oklahoma. -- Approved (will be on the Dec 11, 2007 city ballot)

10. Discussion and possible action to consider the closing of Main Street between the hours of 11:00 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. from 14th Street to 9th Street, November 10th 2007 for the annual Veteran's Parade. -- Approved (the annual parade will begin at 11am Saturday ... as the 11th would have conflicted with church services).

11. Consideration of any new business, which can be considered an emergency, to come before the Collinsville City Commission not known about or which could not have been reasonably anticipated at the time of posting this agenda. -- none

12. Adjournment:

POSTED 10/15/07 Kelly Young, City Clerk
