Better for law enforcement than KPERS. Commissioner Daniels all for it; it is a deluxe retirement for law enforcement. Cannot roll KPERs into KPF but KPF will roll into KPERS. Bryan will present a cost to the commission. Commissioners approved Bryan to research. Bryan presented ideal projects he has been working on for 8-9 months. He discussed a couple of projects; 1. Putting a 240-foot tower in each corner of the county: Petrolia, Geneva, Mildred and Savonburg; 2. Project being one 500-foot tower in the center of the county which would be in LaHarpe. Discussion followed on each project. He discussed he would like to see one in the center of the county; for Law Enforcement, Allen County Fire Departments, County Ambulance, Public Works, and others. Tower cost for one is approximately $703,886 for a 500-foot tower which could be rented out to others and keep the county from paying rent to another vendor. Costs could also be lowered a little by in kind from Public Works Department. Cost of four towers would be $1,236,696 for the shorter. County might have to purchase land if not put at the landfill. Currently the law enforcement deputies cannot communicate around Savonburg which creates a safety issue. Discussion followed. Crawford County uses a microwave system which when it goes down, it goes down. Explore funding options; grants, other departments and/or other entities it would benefit. Discussion on the way the state has done their radios. Commissioners thanked Bryan for his work on the proposed projects. Commissioners asked Bryan if he discussed the landfill option with Mitch Garner, Public Works Director. Bryan stated yes, he has. The tower would be here 60 to 80 years, not just 20 years. Bryan reported a few years ago there was a study done that would cost around 1.7 million alone for 800MHz radios in all the emergency vehicles. Bryan discussed the jail costs went over due to a homicide that they had to house several individuals for that. Bryan discussed jail board funding and how they collected enough to pay the bond for 2017. Discussion followed on changes that will be happening in 2018. Chairman Talkington asked if the commission had time to discuss projects for 2018. All the commissioners stated towers, airport, ambulance stations would be some of the projects. With no further business to come before the board, the meeting was adjourned until January 9, 2018 at 8:30 a.m. in the Commission room of the courthouse. _____________________________________ _____________________________________ Jim Talkington, Chairperson Thomas R.

    id46554968 pdfMachine by Broadgun Software - a great PDF writer! - a great PDF creator! - http://www.pdfmachine.com http://www.broadgun.com Keller Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan “Inspiring Exemplary Cultural Landscapes” 2. City Image and Context 2.1 Introduction Recreational needs, opportunities and enjoyment are shaped by a city’s particular image, physical characteristics, history, local economy and demographics. Image determines expectation and experience; physical features provide opportunities even as they occasionally impose constraints; both cultural and natural history instruct us to treat land with respect and stewardship; demographics determine needs; economy informs us as to the possibilities. It is thus fundamental to understand the particular image and context of the City of Keller in order to address the citizens’ needs for recreation, parks and open space. This year, 2007, the City of Keller was named by Money Magazine as one of the “100 Best Places to Live”, which measures among other things: sense of community, natural setting, congestion, jobs and housing affordability. As a major contributor to “livability”, which is an overall gauge of civic vitality, the park system plays a major role in shaping the City’s image. In perhaps an unexpected way, it is often the mundane and everyday features, both natural and man-made, that, when consciously treated in a celebratory manner, have the greatest impact on a community scale, taking people out of the vacuous “norm” by creating a sense of place. More and more, a variety of professions including health care, psychology, education and city planning recognizes the value of the presence of nature in the urban environment.

    An Ancient Red Cedar Woodland in the Oklahoma Cross Timbers An Honors Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for Honors Studies in Geology By Jesse R. Edmondson 2006 Geology J. William Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences The University of Arkansas Acknowledgements I would like to thank Dave Stahle and Dan Griffin for their constant mentoring and friendship over the past three years. Dave Stahle took me in as a confused undergraduate student and gave me great motivation and a passion for old-growth forest. I quickly became interested in dendrochronology and have been hooked ever since. Dan Griffin has been a great colleague and friend and I will be forever in debt to the countless hours he has helped me with making beautiful maps and figures. Malcolm Cleaveland has also been very helpful and has taught me a great deal. I would also like to thank everyone else at the University of Arkansas Tree-Ring Laboratory that I have had the pleasure to work with over the past years, especially: Dorian Burnette, Stephen James, Jackson Jennings, Mark Spond, and Richard Styron for their help on this project. I would like to thank the University of Arkansas Honors College for financial assistance with this project. They provided an undergraduate research grant for 1-year of work on this project. I also appreciate the Oklahoma Nature Conservancy and the city of Sand Springs Dept. of Parks and Recreation for their permission to conduct research at the Keystone Ancient Forest Preserve. Finally, I would like to thank my grandfather, R.P.
