He <br />said he would like the airport to bring in revenue and jobs to the city. Based on population, tax <br />base and over a period of ten years, Council Member Wright said he understood the plan would <br />have to be updated. Council Member Lancaster agreed they should look at Cox Field and she <br />did want to review each department in more detail. Council Member Drake said she favored in <br />looking at each section in more detail. She confirmed that there would be dates for follow-up <br />and the names of staff inembers who would be responsible for making sure the deadlines were <br />met.

Council <br />Member Drake commended Mr. Godwin and city staff for their hard work on this proposed plan. <br />Council Member Jenkins said he was excited about the plan and there was a lot to be done. He <br />also said he wanted to take a closer look at the Lake Crook section. Council Member <br />Grossnickle said there had been very thorough engineering studies done by Hayter Engineering <br />on both the intake problems at Lake Pat Mayse and the electrical system problems. He added <br />that a very thorough study of the wastewater plant was conducted several years ago. He said he <br />did not want to duplicate costs associated with those studies, but they may want to make some <br />changes. Council Member Grossnickle also thought they should explore potential opportunities <br />at Lake Crook. Mayor Hashmi said he thought the plan was a good start, but wanted it to include <br />objectives, strategies, tactics, plans and backup, best practices, start and finish dates, and <br />accountability. He said he would like to see the population increase by 5,000 people in the next <br />ten years, replacement of infrastructure within in the next twenty years, development of Lake <br />Crook within the next five years, a profitable airport, reduction of fires and response time, <br />decrease in crime, and a parks plan to ensure beautification and maintenance of parks.
