Dwayne Henderson, the project presenter, told the council engineers found the planned intersection geometry would come close to a private residence at the northeast corner of the project. To avoid acquiring the house and the additional cost and complications that would bring, staff instructed the engineer to “cut the intersection down in size” and remove bicycle lanes within the intersection footprint. Henderson said the narrower plans save an estimated $20,000 in pavement costs and could avoid several hundred thousand dollars in land‑acquisition costs, though he said the city has not appraised the property.

Henderson also described drainage concerns. The original scope extended drainage improvements farther west, but engineers found the downstream work would require large pipes, regrading ditches and potentially reconstruction of the Homestead subdivision entrance. To limit cost and complexity, the amendment directs the engineer to stop drainage design at the east entrance of Park Place/Preston Lakes and defer the remaining downstream drainage work to a forthcoming corridor project. Henderson said the deferred approach would allow the city to “design downstream upwards” on the larger corridor project and better control grades, potentially reducing impacts and costs.

Staff recommended and the council approved Amendment No. 1, funded from the capital improvement fund. The amendment cost of $24,400 covers plan revisions to reduce pavement width, eliminate bicycle lanes at the intersection, revise drainage plans and remove large‑diameter pipe and ditch grading for the deferred section. The council approved the amendment by unanimous voice/roll call.

The item included questions from councilors about project limits and right‑of‑way. Public works staff later presented the monthly project status report with updates on several corridor projects, including rebidding of Garnett Road improvements (expected to be rebid in February), the status of multiple intersection projects and right‑of‑way obtainment (one corridor noted 11 parcels needed, with three acquired to date). Staff said the larger corridor design and bridge project will be presented as a separate item to provide the downstream drainage design and right‑of‑way planning.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Owasso City Council\t01/08/2025","oneSentenceSummary","The council approved Amendment No. 1 for engineering services at East 86th Street North and 61st East Avenue, authorizing $24,400 to revise plans that reduce pavement width, remove intersection bicycle lanes and limit drainage work to the Park Place/Preston Lakes entrance to avoid property acquisition and control costs.","taxTitle","Owasso, Tulsa County, Oklahoma","taxId",62203,"location","Oklahoma","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6393434,"Owasso accepts East A100/16th Street improvements; authorizes $431,771.71 final payment",372,1164000,1536000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2107281-7605287a1ab10eaf4408c2a83c4e3525&start=1164&end=1536","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2107281-7605287a1ab10eaf4408c2a83c4e3525/thumbnail_1164000.jpg","/articles/6393434/Oklahoma/Owasso-accepts-East-A10016th-Street-improvements-authorizes-43177171-final-payment","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6393434-3e733816ca673e2fb925089c7acf3956/orig.mp4?Expires=1771170315&Signature=XEpHD6pQUsdWXXJJoZVy0OfEa4E4-EdlhGT-nP5YM~BSBOiDhwWClf6DYKlI1Ejb~XNDZ6Hh~1c0-mMy8aIvkDrqfVxxi9h~AEEglsaySrsAYzSmrgE1ejN--nKCdXVaicDCWgwYrUFYOEEZlhapZlQ1X6UJYPwN0bDuHYml5t1qjHmqVy8rT0JPmq84vhx513m-s0~JWYNbNfnF2jZ22k4XWA3W2EQPI9HDX2qxzzK4teXPYm~nBoimiVak0~utrgUPySq-j904PwN0Q8AA67IToPn3TH7fSeLzDOJRfinPTxSoEn6SKMoDG0Rns7NEjMPWAxXUS1Qk3wNSIyWdtQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Owasso City Council on Jan. 8 accepted the East A100 and 16th Street North roadway improvements (Mingo Road) and authorized a final payment of $431,771.71 to Crossland Heavy Contractors Inc., bringing the final contract total to $16,889,103.34 and recording a contract underrun of $497,896.66.

Public works staff member Earl Ferris summarized the project scope and financials, saying the Feb. 2023 contract originally awarded to Crossland Heavy Contractors covered widening the roadway to four lanes with turn lanes, landscaped medians, bike lanes, sidewalks, an 8‑foot multi‑use trail, relocation of storm drains and water and sanitary sewer infrastructure, and added traffic signalization at the North 97th East Avenue intersection. “If authorized, final payment of $431,771.71 will result in a final contract amount of … $16,889,103.34, which is a contract under run of $497,896.66,” Ferris said.

Ferris told the council that work was completed in November 2024 and inspected by city staff, and that funding for the final payment is available in the Vision Recapture Fund. The council approved acceptance of the project and the final payment by voice/roll call.

Council discussion included clarifications about where the multi‑use trail and bike lanes are located along the corridor; Ferris and other staff explained that the 8‑foot multi‑use trail runs on one side of the road with sidewalks on the other side and that on‑road bike lanes are provided along curves in the roadway. Ferris also reported cumulative figures across three contracts for the broader corridor work: from State Highway 169 to Mingo Road the three contracts totaled about $35.37 million with an aggregate underrun of roughly $11.52 million, which staff attributed to conservative allowances and fewer required overruns than anticipated.

The final payment and project acceptance will close the contract with Crossland Heavy Contractors Incorporated of Tulsa, Oklahoma, and staff said they will return any administrative items as needed to reconcile final accounting.","The council accepted the East A100 and 16th Street North roadway improvements, awarded final payment of $431,771.71 to Crossland Heavy Contractors and recorded a final contract amount of $16,889,103.34, a contract under‑run of $497,896.66, city staff said.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6393439,"Owasso council adopts animal‑code revisions; staff to begin 30‑day public education",88,1061000,1149000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2107281-7605287a1ab10eaf4408c2a83c4e3525&start=1061&end=1149","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2107281-7605287a1ab10eaf4408c2a83c4e3525/thumbnail_1061000.jpg","/articles/6393439/Oklahoma/Owasso-council-adopts-animalcode-revisions-staff-to-begin-30day-public-education","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6393439-d2529dba9dc85e691fa15442d3560371/orig.mp4?Expires=1771170315&Signature=OcZu~81RIzgIkfgfytElFdBJ6KrlQNKxTcZ8nCuMCfz707OGKFBFjILLciRIYZqObidJb5xS1hy42DWAE6Hwopck9hO4vyZ7qK5OKPx8CfqfGx6jitaoNg5FrlLHBqnyGTsOOp~I9zVinQQMLYsYWpb6rnMis0iLlB2Da6ZQqRzFty~eveRnHt4fe5v6SO~eIDnD1IXO~IXI8tgRKl~T3bGfdCV-fsSqLASBn-LTH7C7MTAAGk18aXmk0zwUI8WaJgL9G5PGCx1iPhql1rf8jQxX0t0pVa1S6-sqI8gNmQRWTY2o5n1sbETgv~r5~fNAd~jk7PRr0xKwK4e7EdyDRA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Owasso City Council on Jan. 8 voted to adopt revisions to Part 4 (Animals) of the Owasso Code of Ordinances, and staff said they will begin a 30‑day public education effort outlining the changes.

City attorney staff member Beth Ann Shiles told the council that implementation will require outreach. “It is gonna be critically important to educate our citizens about the proposed revisions, assuming that the council moves forward with adoption,” Shiles said, adding that staff prepared a press release, letters to local veterinarians and animal‑welfare organizations and will use social media and coordination with the police department to inform residents during the roughly 30‑day window.

The ordinance listed on the agenda (identified in the packet as “ordinance 12 30”) amends and repeals various sections of the animal code, and the staff presentation said the revision package includes an effective‑date provision, severability language and repeal of conflicting ordinances. The council took a roll‑call vote to adopt the ordinance; all members present voted in favor.

Shiles said the city will work with its public information officer and animal‑control officers to distribute materials and answer questions from residents and veterinarians as the city moves to implement the new rules. The ordinance language circulated with the packet includes implementation provisions, but council discussion at the meeting did not specify the ordinance’s exact effective date.

The council approved the item by unanimous voice/roll call. Staff will execute the outreach plan during the 30‑day period and return to the council as required by the ordinance schedule or as additional clarifications emerge.

Details recorded at the meeting: city staff will issue a press release, mail or email letters to veterinarians and animal‑welfare groups, post information on social media, and coordinate with the police department and animal control to answer citizen questions. The council did not amend the ordinance language during the meeting.","The Owasso City Council on Jan. 8 adopted revisions to the city’s animal code and directed staff to begin a 30‑day outreach campaign including a press release, letters to veterinarians and engagement with animal welfare groups, officials said.","actionData","errors"]
