BUSINESS ITEM:

1.    Consider adopting a resolution endorsing a road construction project on SE Flower Mound Road between Lee Boulevard and Gore Boulevard. Exhibits: Resolution No. 99-68; Public Lands Highway Application.

Deborah Jones, Assistant City Planner, said the application is to apply to the Federal Highway Administration, through ODOT, for funding for SE Flower Mound Road for a four-lane, undivided roadway to serve the proposed Veterans' Center and enhance the street network. She recommended authorization of filing of the application, which was approved by the Lawton Metropolitan Area Planning Commission on Wednesday as the MPO. The application will be forwarded by special delivery due to the deadline. Endorsement from State and Federal legislative officials will be included with the application if possible. Amount applied for will be $3,325,000.

Beller asked if this would be a total grant for the project. Mayor Powell said we were asked to apply by Bob Rose at ODOT and it is an in-kind grant with no matching requirement for this mile section of roadway from Lee to Gore Boulevard.

MOVED by Haywood, SECOND by Devine, for approval of the application and Resolution No. 99-68.

Baker said other parts of Flower Mound Road would be considered for funding in the upcoming capital improvement program. Mayor Powell said that would include the portion going north to Rogers Lane.

VOTE ON MOTION: AYE: Williams, Devine, Beller, Haywood, Smith. NAY: None. MOTION CARRIED.

(Title only)    Resolution No. 99-68

There being no further business to consider, the meeting adjourned at 8:53 a.m. upon motion, second and roll call vote.
