5. Discussion, consideration and possible action on items removed from the Consent Agenda. -- n/a

6. Discussion, consideration and possible action to approve Final Plat of Stonegate Estates Extended II. -- Approved, 12 additional lots on 3 acres, previously approved by planning commission.

7. Discussion, consideration and possible action to approve Pole Agreement between the City of Collinsville and Cox Communications. -- Tabled, with hopes to resolve differences quickly and call a special meeting to approve soon. The city passed a generic agreement (Jan 27th) for city utility pole use by all 3 local telecom companies (AT&T, Community Cablevision & Cox) which already have franchises and agreements.The fee in the Jan 27th agreement was $9.50 per pole. Cox was the only company to respond and countered with a $6.50 per pole offer and other changes. There was a lengthy discussion before this item was tabled concerning the benefits of an ordinance -vs- an agreement in dealing with 3 different utilities but with a goal of charging them all equal fees & applying same rules. Cox has done some work in the outer portion of the city but has been unable to do any work on city poles pending resolution of these issues. Most Oklahoma cities don't own their own poles and apparently none deal with 3 different telecoms.

8. Discussion, consideration and possible action to approve final Jail Plans. -- approved, 3 male cells & 1 female cell addition to the existing police facility at 11th & Center. The funds will come from the sales tax increase approved by voters last year. Other features include areas for booking, fingerprinting alcohol testing, drunk tank, property room, secure evidence room, "sally port" for unloading prisoners. Some additional improvements will be in the form of alternative bids to fit the available budget. It was determined an additional public restroom was not required.(Previous Coverage). A 20-day bid period could be followed by a 45-day period to consider bids. Jim Graber (architect for this project) also designed the refurbished City Hall completed in 2006.

9. Discussion, consideration and possible action concerning remediation contract/staging area lease with Cypress for soil remediation. -- approved, there is apparently 1 small spot in the city park requiring soil remediation by Cyprus Amex. Another temporary staging area for the removed soil had fallen through so the city has offerred a remote city location. The park remediation should take no longer than 4 days and will not delay park improvement construction already in progress. There are apparently another 9-10 properties in town that will be remediated that will use the same staging area.

10. Discussion, consideration and possible action to approve ball field improvements in the City Park. -- approved, field work and french drain bid by Jamie Wilson was accepted and new lighting equipment (which the city will install) with a bid by Boss (in Tulsa) was accepted. (Previous coverage)

* Closing on bonds for west sewer expansion March 4th and funds available March 12th.
