Norman City Council members will have a light agenda for Tuesday’s regular meeting, perhaps in deference to watching returns from the municipal and countywide special elections later that evening.
There is only one item on the regular agenda.
Council will consider a preliminary plat for the 34-unit Garden Cottages Addition, formerly Brooks Court Villas Addition.
The addition is proposed west of Westridge Terrace on the north side of West Brooks Street.
The proposal is to develop about 2.4 acres of multi-family development into nine buildings, which would consist of eight quadplexes and one duplex.
The buildings would surround a detention pond in the center of the development, which would also be the common space for the addition.
On the council’s consent agenda is a settlement of $67,000 for Miller Construction for work done on the Robinson Street widening project in 2003, planned for completion in April 2004 and substantially complete in October 2004.
The City of Norman had withheld partial payment on the Robinson Street widening project of $33,120 for liquidated damages and for work that the city disputed Miller Construction Company had completed for $134,014. The total disputed amount was $167,134.
The lawsuit was scheduled for trial on April 14, but was postponed to forward a settlement offer to council. Miller Construction has indicated a willingness to settle the claims for $67,000.
The City has accepted the water line and it is in service.
A proclamation for Bike-to-Work Day on May 16 is also on the agenda.
More detail on the council agenda is available at the City of Norman’s Web site at www.NormanOK.gov. The meeting will be 6:30 p.m. in council chambers at the Municipal Complex, 201 W. Gray St.
Subject of the pre-meeting conference will be a presentation of the Public Arts Board Master Plan as required by the ordinance establishing the Public Arts Board.
The conference will be 5:30 p.m. in the study session room at the Municipal Complex.
In-person absentee voting for the municipal special election and countywide special election will be 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. today at the Cleveland County Election Board at 122 S. Peters Ave. Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday.
Voters will consider a seven-year, half-cent sales tax for public safety, a $49.5 million bond project for a new library and parking garage, $11.2 million for renovation and reconstruction of city buildings for an expanded senior citizens center and municipal court and a countywide vote on a two-mill increase for the Pioneer Library System.
