10 B. DIRECTOR S REPORT John Sharp opened the Director s Report with the announcement of Mayor Jay Adams retirement. Mayor Adams will no longer serve as mayor of the City of Mustang and with that he will step down as Chairman of the ACOG Board. Mr. Sharp recalled Mayor Adams years of service to the City of Mustang and to the ACOG membership, and mentioned his participation on a variety of committees and roles of leadership on the ACOG Board of Directors. Mayor Adams was presented an award of appreciation along with well-deserved recognition for his association and achievements with ACOG as an organization. The entire Board gave a hearty applause and expressed their sincere congratulations to Mayor Adams on his retirement. Mayor Adams reminisced the years of his service to the Oklahoma Department of Transportation and ACOG in the 90 s as well as his years as a member of the City of Mustang City Council. He said he has a 22-year association with ACOG and said he will miss it.

He reported that staff will review current information regarding funding for the Rural Economic Action Plan (REAP) program later in today s agenda. Mr. Sharp referred to the most recent monthly City Managers Meeting held at ACOG and reported that one of the topics of discussion referred to Senate Bill 1374 regarding dockless bicycles. The city managers discussed their municipalities concern about how the dockless bicycle system differs from a shared bicycle system. He mentioned there was a Bill out that possibly would allow the Oklahoma Tourism Department to police it, but that Bill died. He said we will follow that legislation. Mr. Sharp suggested that ACOG member cities think about passing an ordinance or use some type of safety net to combat the situation should dockless bicycles show up in their towns. Mr. Sharp reported that cities need to be watchful about copper theft in their areas, especially since there is copper used in local cell towers. He said Oklahoma City has requested a map location of each of the cell towers from ACOG so their police can frequently patrol those areas. He recommended that other cities take similar precautions.

Mr. Sharp explained that currently the Federal Highway, at no cost to ACOG, reviews the MPO or the Oklahoma Transportation Department every four years and ACOG receives certification following their review.

Director Matt Dukes commented that the primary purpose for the audit relates to the Association of Central Oklahoma Governments (ACOG) and the Association of Central Oklahoma (9-1-1 ACOG) operating budgets. He said since those are already being audited, there would be no reason for redundancy. II-6

ACOG RESOLUTION TO CONTINUE SUPPORT OF THE EXPANSION OF THE AMTRAK PASSENGER RAIL SERVICE This item was discussed in the ACOG Board of Directors meeting in March to consider having the ACOG Chairman sign a Resolution for ACOG s continued support of the expansion of the AMTRAK Passenger Rail Service known as the Heartland Flyer from Oklahoma City to Newton, Kansas. If ACOG members, as an organization, desire to continue supporting the abovementioned expansion, it was recommended that the ACOG Chairman sign a Resolution reflecting their desire to continue that endeavor. II-7

14 Director John Pettis made a motion that ACOG resolve to continue its support of the expansion of the AMTARK Passenger Rail Service known as the Heartland Flyer from Oklahoma City to Newton, Kansas. Director Earnest Ware seconded the motion. The motion carried. F. LEGISLATIVE STATUS REPORT Jennifer McCollum reported that the Oklahoma Legislative Session probably will adjourn early, May 4. She referred to the Legislative Issues Report for March which was available as a handout at today s meeting. She highlighted some of the issues in the report. Specifically, the Rural Economic Action Plan (REAP). Mrs. McCollum reported that the state REAP budget has been increased by 11% this year, which will mean that ACOG will receive approximately $70 k for its REAP program more than last year. The Legislative Issues Report included a pie chart of all major categories of the budget and reflected a breakdown of those budget percentages. She said for REAP to receive 11% is historic. Jennifer McCollum reported that ACOG s partnership with the Oklahoma Area Regional Councils of Governments (OARC), including ACOG, advocate heavily for REAP funding. Directors from as far away as Idabel and Muskogee are driving to the state capitol every week during legislative session to advocate REAP funding. The state agencies that receive less funding than the REAP program are the OSBI, Department of Libraries, the Arts Council, the Medical Examiner, OTA, Oklahoma Senate, Department of Environmental Quality, and the Attorney General received only one thousand dollars more than REAP. Mrs. McCollum commented that the legislators that funded the REAP program deserve our gratitude. She said there were no budget cuts to any state agency this year. She said staff have carefully followed the debated House Bill 2756 regarding the EV Tax Credit, which passed the Senate, but unexpectedly failed by a narrow margin. Eric Pollard with ACOG S Clean Cities Program continued to inform the Board that after the failure of House Bill 2756, the authors worked last week with legislators to find another vehicle, House Bill 1532, which is number 34 on today s senate agenda, and means we are on a legislative deadline. Eric said this Bill was a modification and extension of the alternative fuel tax credit. The recommendation from the Incentive Evaluation Commission was to modify the credit to put more focus on vehicles. In the case of the CNG, we have a lot of fueling stations and this will ensure that the vehicles are purchased by our public and private fleets. II-8

15 Jennifer McCollum reported on other bills that failed such as the Wind Bill, Gross Production Tax Bill, and the Dockless Bike bill to name a few. The Governor vetoed the bill that would allow selfie camera shots to be taken while voting. She said the upcoming primary election is June 26 th and said that 31 teachers have filed for public office in 22 districts, in both house and senate; they are organized. There have been 462 candidates to file for office, which is historic, out of which 14 are running for Governor. Mrs. McCollum reported that CDBG funding has been increased through the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2018 from $3 billion to $3.3 billion, and will continue to be funded. She referred to a few hyperlinks included in the Legislative Issues Report that can be accessed to learn other updates as they relate to the Opioid Crisis in America, Brownfields, and Rich States, Poor States and monthly Oklahoma Economic Treasurer s Report. Chairman Jay Adams brought attention to Senate Bill 1114, a designation of high and wide corridors, which has been signed by the Governor on April 14. He said the bill mainly effects the central Oklahoma areas of Tuttle, Mustang and parts of Oklahoma City. They passed a law that outlines certain corridors throughout the state, mostly located in the north and in the Tulsa area except one that comes into the Oklahoma City area via Highway 37, Highway 4 and Highway 152. These are designated corridors that they say must be capable of handling 23 tall loads and 28 wide loads. The outline for the Department of Transportation reflects that it must design new standards for these designated roads and require them to handle these large and high loads, including an upgrade up to 315,000 pounds. These requirements will affect the signal lights in our municipalities. This Bill will help the trucking industry to move bigger, heavier loads easily and less costly. Mr. Adams said nearly 600 miles of road in the state have been designated and will be affected by the Bill s requirements. Mr. Adams said he is apprehensive that if they manage to get through these routes, the industries will return later requiring more roads. The outline requires cities to work with these industries to accommodate structures in these areas. ODOT will have to develop new design standards for bridges that can handle 315,000 pounds and meet that standard of 23 high. The Bill stipulates that if they do not have it, that ODOT and the local jurisdictions will have to come up with alternate ways to get around those areas. II-9

16 G. EXECUTIVE SESSION Chairman Jay Adams asked to recess for Executive Session to discuss the search, review and recommended candidate for the Executive Director of ACOG, pursuant to 25 O.S. 307 (B) (1); and discuss and review of a personnel matter, pursuant 25 O.S. 307 (B) (1).

25 ACOG Association of Central Oklahoma Governments 4205 N. Lincoln Blvd., Oklahoma City, OK (405) Fax: (405) TDD/TTY: Statewide DATE: May 31, 2018 MEMORANDUM ATTACHMENT VI-B TO: FROM: SUBJECT: ACOG Board of Directors John M. Sharp, Acting Executive Director Rural Economic Action Plan (REAP) Organizational Plan INFORMATION: This rural economic development initiative creates opportunities for less populated communities to undertake projects identified by them. The Rural Economic Action Plan of 1996 establishes a planning process for cities, towns, and counties that could enable them to secure grant funds for economic development projects and infrastructure projects. The Councils of Government throughout the state are identified to help facilitate the planning process and to generate the regional, organizational plan. Additionally, the Councils of Government are required to review the regional organizational plan each year and advise the Oklahoma Department of Commerce of changes or revisions to the plan, if any. The REAP Organizational Plan states that 80% of our allocated REAP funds must be spent on infrastructure projects outlined in the first six (6) categories listed in the Plan and the remaining 20% of funds can be spent in the last four (4) categories of projects. In order to proceed with the 2019 cycle of REAP grants, staff is proposing that the attached REAP Organizational Plan be adopted by the Board of Directors as the ACOG Organizational Plan and forwarded for filing with the Oklahoma Department of Commerce. This Plan sets forth the eligible entities in the ACOG region and recites the ten (10) allowable project categories for REAP projects. Any funding for 2019 REAP grants is contingent upon receiving the REAP appropriations from the State of Oklahoma. Upon filing the Organizational Plan with the Oklahoma Department of Commerce, signed copies will be available from ACOG upon request. ACTION REQUESTED: Motion to adopt the attached 2019 ACOG Rural Economic Action Plan (REAP) Organizational Plan and authorize the Executive Director to negotiate and execute a contract with the Oklahoma Department of Commerce to receive the 2019 REAP grant funds allocated for the ACOG region.

26 Association of Central Oklahoma Governments 2019 Rural Economic Action Plan Organizational Plan ACOG is a voluntary association of local governments joined together to work on common interests, for the economic improvement of each member entity and the overall benefit of the region. The Association membership is made up of the counties of Canadian, Cleveland, Logan, and Oklahoma, and all cities and towns having some jurisdiction within the four listed counties. In June 1966, the local governments of Central Oklahoma created ACOG under the authority provided by State enabling legislation known as the Inter-Local Cooperation Act (74 O.S ) As of August 2016, ACOG has 32 member governments, consisting of city, town and county jurisdictions. All local governments in the ACOG region are eligible for membership. In total, the ACOG region represents a population of 1,244,745 (2016 Census Bureau) persons encompassing an area of just over 2,890 square miles. Section 1. The following cities and towns with a population * of less than 7,000 are within the ACOG region: Canadian County Population Calumet 572 Geary (pt.) 203 Okarche (pt.) 325 Union City 1,991 Cleveland County Population Etowah 93 Lexington 2,168 Noble 6,756 Slaughterville 4,246 Logan County Population Cashion (pt.) 228 Cedar Valley 320 Cimarron City 167 Coyle 361 Crescent 1,542 Langston 1,824 Marshall 302 Meridian 42 Mulhall 250 Orlando 164 * 2016 Proposed Population from the U.S. Bureau of the Census/Oklahoma Department of Commerce VI-B-2

Funds from the REAP fund account of the State Treasurer will be awarded on projects determined by public input to the ACOG Board of Directors, the region's Rural Economic Action Plan and an evaluation of the financial needs of the four-county area. Public meetings will be held in the region and suggestions will be accepted from legislators and other interested parties. In 2010, pursuant to legislative enactment of House Bill 3291, significant changes were made to the REAP enabling legislation that modified the types of projects eligible for REAP funds and the amounts allocated to those projects.
