Borrowed pickup ends up on fire in field

By Marione Martin It took a while to sort out how many people were in a pickup that was involved in a wreck and engulfed in flames July 28 north of Cherokee. According to documents on file, Oklahoma Highway Patrol Trooper Rick Wallace responded to a report of an accident with injury and a vehicle on fire at 2:40 a.m. The vehicle was north of Ohio Street and Harmon Road intersection and west of State Highway 8 in Dewayne Waugh’s field.

At the scene were Cherokee Fire and Rescue, Alfalfa County EMS, Cherokee Police Officer Tyler Flaherty, Alfalfa County Deputy Blake Trekell and Gary Whitely, who was first on the scene.

Wallace saw a gray pickup, with a 2013 Ohio license tag, that had burned and was missing the right front wheel which was east of the pickup. The fire department and Whitely were looking for two other people alleged to be in the pickup, but no one else was found.

Wallace learned that the driver, Jason Paul Bunch, was staying in the RV park southwest of the Cherokee Coop. Gene Kepfler, with Alfalfa County EMS, said that Bunch told him he did not know how many other people were with him in the pickup. Wallace checked on the pickup, and the owner came back as Sydney Davis of Georgetown, Ohio. He also noticed several 12 oz. cans of Budlight beer on the ground, that appeared to have come out of an ice chest that had come from the bed of the pickup.

According to Wallace’s investigation, the vehicle had traveled north from Ohio Street and failed to stop at the stop sign, crossed Harmon Road and traveled approximately 166 feet north, going airborne across a ditch and impacting the north embankment of the ditch. The vehicle then traveled north through Mr. Waugh’s fence, and came to rest in the field, catching fire approximately 512 feet north of the area of impact with the ditch.

Mr. Whitely said Bunch told him he had been in Kansas playing bingo, someone else was driving and he was in the

backseat, but did not know the names of the other people. Deputy Trekell started checking bunkhouses in the RV park southwest of the Cherokee Coop, locating Bunch’s foreman and his cousin.

The cousin, David Wolfe, arrived at the scene and said the pickup belonged to a man staying at the same RV park. He said Bunch got off work and was going to Alva and then to Kansas to play bingo.

Wallace proceeded to Integris Bass Hospital in Enid to talk to Bunch. While enroute, he ran a driver’s license check on Bunch through Texas, and learned he was under mandatory suspension. At the hospital, Wallace noted Bunch had a strong odor of alcohol about his person and asked how much beer he drank before the wreck. He said six beers and none after the wreck. He said he went to Kansas to play bingo, but could not remember anything after leaving Kansas but was insistent that someone was to his right in the pickup yelling for help. Wolfe contacted Wallace and said Bunch’s co-workers told him Bunch showed up at bingo already drunk and belligerent, and left by himself.

Jason Paul Bunch, 29, of Kerens, Texas, is charged with driving while under the influence of alcohol — subsequent offense, a felony, and with a traffic charge of operating a motor vehicle without a valid driver’s license.

The couple will marry August 24, 2012 at the Alva Church of God, followed with a reception at the Runnymede. After a honeymoon in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico, they will reside in Cherokee.

By Marione Martin A vehicle rollover became a twovehicle collision Sunday at 5:50 a.m.

The wreck occurred on Highway 64, four miles west of Ingersoll in Alfalfa County.

According to a report from the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, a 2000 Freightliner diesel tanker truck, driven by Julian Cervantes Martinez, 48, of McAllen, Texas, had rolled over on its passenger side earlier in the day and was blocking the westbound lane of US 64. The driver was not injured.

A 2006 Dodge pickup truck, driven

by Gilbert Biera Rivera, 50, of Merkel, Texas, was westbound and struck the Freightliner. It was raining at the time.

Rivera, who had been wearing a seatbelt, was taken by Alva EMS to Share Medical Center in Alva, where he was treated and released. A passenger in the pickup, Terry Allan Cortez, 36, of Terrell, Texas, was not wearing a seatbelt.

He was transported by Alfalfa County EMS to St. Mary’s Hospital in Enid, where he was admitted for head, trunk external and arm injuries. He was listed in stable condition.

OHP Trooper Matt Wilczek worked the scene of the accident, assisted by Cherokee Fire Department and Alfalfa County Sheriff’s Office.

Alva School Board hires four teachers

By Lynn L. Martin With school starting in a couple of weeks, the Alva Board of Education filled several vacant teaching positions.

Employed were Carolyn Taylor (1/2 time Special Ed at AHS), Anthony Lovelace (World, Oklahoma History AHS or AMS, replaces Trina Resler), Bill Neale (AMS math) and Sherry Lovelace (RTI - response to intervention, 4 hr special ed.).

Several bus drivers were also hired.

These include Neil Gordon, Mallory Seevers, Charles Miller, Scott Baugh, and Jeff Levetzow.

In other employee action, the board accepted the resignations of Barbara Walcott, a cook, and Trina Resler, a certified teacher. The board also accepted a let-

ter of regret from Kasey Adair. She had previously accepted a job with the Alva school system, but her former school system, Medford, OK, refused to release her from a contract she had signed; so, the family decided to move to Texas where Oklahoma contracts aren’t valid.

The working time of two cooks was expanded by one hour each. They are Kathy Prigmore and Marcy Engelken.

Tobacco Free Request A group of students, accompanied by sponsor Yolanda Creswell, made a presentation to the board requesting that they make the Alva school sites smokefree 24/7. The group cited several other schools in rural Northwestern Oklahoma

that have adopted the smoke-free policy, such as Ft. Supply, Shattuck and Straight.

Creswell mentioned that NW Career Tech and NWOSU also adopted smoke-free policies. The school board informally agreed to place the item on their September agenda. The students making the presentation included Rachel Cartel, Matt Martin, Dalton Costello, Makeana Sherrill, Jeremy Cooley, Jolene Graves (emSee Alva Page 22

Lynn Says

So you want to run a Braum’s Franchise

By Lynn L. Martin About every month I hear a rumor that somebody is going to put a Braum’s store in Alva. So I decided to do a little research on various franchises.

• Braum’s — Looks like you’ll have to marry into the family to get a Braum’s store.

While the firm has over 275 stores throughout Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, Missouri and Arkansas, all are family owned.

I saw an article once in the Daily Oklahoman where the Braum’s CEO, Drew Braum, spoke at the downtown Rotary Club in Oklahoma City. Someone in the audience asked if the firm was ever going to go “public.” He replied something like this, “No. Don’t want to go public. The stockholders would fire me and I don’t want to be fired.”

So, let’s look elsewhere.

• IHOP — Another rumor I keep hearing in Alva is that an IHOP is coming to town. First, in researching

the franchise information, I learned that DineEquity Inc., which owns both Applebee’s and IHOP restaurants, say the IHOP portion is struggling (July 29, 2012). But, they are looking for franchise holders. The franchise fee for a single restaurant is $50,000. If you want multiple restaurants, it is $40,000. The royalty fee is 4.5% of gross sales. Domestic restaurants pay 1% of gross sales for national advertising and 2% of sales for local advertising. Minimum financial net worth requirement is $1.5 million, with $500,000 in liquid assets.

• Taco Bell — A franchise costs the following: Total Investment: $1,200,000 to $1,700,000. Net worth requirement: $1M. Cash liquidity requirement: $360K • Baskin-Robbins — I like BaskinRobbins ice cream. At least their prices aren’t so high. The franchise Fee is $10,000 - $25,000. The minimum financial requirement: $125,000 (in liquid assets) and a net worth of $250,000. Estimated initial investment range: $45,000 - $377,600. You pay a royalty on sales of 5.9%.

• Marble Slab Creamery is another good ice cream place. Total Invest-

ment: $250,085 - $403,135. Franchise Fee: $10,000 - $25,000. Ongoing Royalty Fee: 6%. Term of Franchise Agreement: 10 years, renewable. FINANCIAL REQUIREMENTS Net Worth: $250,000. Liquid Cash Available: $85,000.

• McDonald’s is, of course, the most visible franchise of all. A lot of people hear they can buy a McDonald’s franchise for $45,000, but that’s only the initial franchise fee. If you get franchise rights to start a new McDonald’s these days, plan to spend $1 million to $1.8 million to get one going; and starting a new McDonald’s franchise is an infrequent method, according to the company. The more usual way is to buy an existing restaurant, either from a current McDonald’s franchise owner or an existing McDonald’s operated by corporate. The price tag going this way is usually a lot more - a multiple of the $2 million start-from-scratch price tag.

• Subway is more affordable. The total investment: $74.9K-222.8K. The franchise fee is $15K and the ongoing royalty fee: 8%. The term of the agreement: 20 years, renewable.

Many corporate franchise bosses make their store owners pay a 4.5% advertising fee above and beyond the royalty fee. This money is pooled to buy national or state level TV advertising. I’ve heard many rural operators express the wish they could spend that 4.5% on local advertising that they think will serve them better.

Success leads to state reduction of $102,000 for CISD

By Roger McKenzie The State of Oklahoma takes money away from school districts who improve their circumstances. This year, for the 2012-13 school year, the Cherokee Public Schools will have $102,000 less in state aid because their other sources of income are up from a year ago.

Last year, the district received $652,000 in state aid; this year the figure is $550,000. That was the bad news presented by Supt. Cory Ellis in his administrative report. He did say that if the number of students continue to rise, then the district can expect a mid-term adjustment (more money).

The good news was that, in addition to a greatly increased carryover of some $350,000, the other funding sources are up and the number of students is rising.

The biggest increase in revenue was $104,000 from gross production revenues, courtesy of the oil and gas exploration going on in the county.

Currently, Supt. Ellis estimated that the student increase is 28, almost all of it in grades pre-kindergarten through fifth grade. However, he added, there are a lot of potential additional students who are in trailer parks throughout the area.

Because of a number of factors that caused maintenance people to miss work during the summer, not everything on the teachers’ “to do” lists is done. Supt.

Ellis promised that, while not everything may be done by the first day of school, school will be ready to open. He took the board members on a virtual tour of im-

provements that have been made, using a slide show of pictures.

One of the things not done was a softball field. Ellis estimated that it has been seven or eight years since Cherokee had a fast-pitch softball team in the fall. This year, the school has a team. It kicked off its season this week without a true softball field, which will be created on school land east of the football practice field.

Originally, Supt. Ellis approached the city about using one of its facilities, but he was turned down. The city instead offered to help the district construct its own field on school property. That will be done sometime this year. For now the team will use the high school baseball field with temporary fences in the outfield.

July was not a busy month for activities or the school treasury. Therefore, the activity fund report and the treasurer’s report were short. Treasurer Jennifer Roach did report that the district is earning about $130 a month on its accounts due to a low interest rate of just twotenths of a percent interest.

Three new hires were approved.

Stephanie Weve will teach second grade.

Nancy Smith will be a part-time English teacher. Amy Leslie will be a paraprofessional at the elementary school.

Also approved was the re-appointment of Ilene Littlefield as compliance coordinator for special education and as coordinator of the Gifted and Talented program.

The board members approved encumbrances, fund-raisers for the football team, FCCLA, and the junior high cheerleaders. The lone school milk bid was approved. Hiland Dairies bid will keep the price of milk at 30 cents a halfpint carton for students, the same price as last year.

Also approved, were school wide applications for Title 1 (free and reduced price lunches) for both the high school and elementary school, as well as a $700 retainer fee to the Foundation Center for School Law, to give the district another legal source for representation and for free legal advice, if needed.

Under new business on the agenda, Supt. Ellis announced a breakfast for teachers at Cherokee Station on Monday, Aug. 13.

New South Barber Sr/Jr High Principal Shaffer brings experience and new ideas

By Yvonne Miller Brent Shaffer comes to South Barber Jr/Sr High School as a first-time principal, but with years of experience as an educator, spending hours in the classroom and in the sports arena.

He described himself as, “pretty easy going, pretty accessible and I love working with kids.”

With a laugh Shaffer said, “When I was younger, I had all the answers.

Brent Shaffer

Now I don’t know all the questions!”

A native and high school graduate of a small town, Louisburg, Kan., Shaffer first went to Bradley University in Illinois, then back to Kansas to earn an associate’s degree at Johnson Community College.

Shaffer headed west and was a political science/history major at the University of San Diego. He finished his degree at Kansas State University in 1990. He worked in retail, insurance and for the IRS before entering the classroom as a teacher at Haviland, Kan., where he spent two years teaching and coaching.

His next stop was for seven years at Anderson County Jr/Sr High where he taught both levels of students. He was a head basketball coach and assistant in many other sports. He’s always been a huge baseball fan, coaching that sport at the recreational level many years before he became an educator. In 2000, he earned his administrative certificate at Fort Hays State University.

With mixed emotions, Shaffer leaves Wellsville, where he’s taught social studies and American history and coached the past 11 years. He said his family leaves many friends, and he loved his colleagues and the kids.

However, he wanted to move into administration and be in a situation where he could spend more time with his family. He heard about the job at South Barber and was intrigued when visiting with former Kiowan Duane McCarty, who told him many good things about the community.

“I had been driving 40 miles one way. If we had late practice, I might not even see my family some days. In

Kiowa I can see my family a lot more,” Shaffer said.

Shaffer’s Family As the Shaffers move to Kiowa, his wife Teresa leaves an 18 year job as a legal secretary. She hopes to find a similar job in the area. They bought a home last occupied by Mark and Mary Nunley.

They have three daughters: Maurisa, a junior at Washburn University; Alexis, who will be a sophomore at SBHS; and Idallis, who will be a 7th grader at SBJH. Both Alexis and Idallis look forward to participating in sports and music programs.

While Shaffer is obviously a sports enthusiast, he supports fine arts programs as well. He spoke passionately about music and plays. He was impressed with the new Bose sound system in the auditorium.

Shaffer’s Ideas for South Barber “I need to learn more about the community and their interests,” Shaffer said. “I’m not going to come in and change the world, but I want to take some good things I’ve seen along the way and try them.”

One idea he wants to pursue is offering on-line college classes for high school students. He said that won’t happen this fall, but he’s hopeful it could next spring. Shaffer said so many high schools are now on a semester schedule like colleges.

He would also eventually like to see a work-study opportunity for students within the community.

Bill Bixler to share family rodeo and ranching history at Waynoka The Waynoka Historical Society invites all those with a love of western history, cowboying, and rodeoing to come to the Harvey House, 1386 Cleveland St., on Saturday at 2 p.m. for a special talk by Bill Bixler. Bill has family cow-

boy history dating back to the years before the opening of the Cherokee Strip in 1893.

Bill’s father, Rex Bixler, was a champion jerk-down steer roper. Bill remembers well when his father competed at

Rex Bixler, shown here on his bay horse, was well known for his steer-roping skills - one of the best in this part of the country. Bill Bixler, his son, will share some of his father’s history and cowboy experiences at the Harvey House on Saturday afternoon, August 11, at 2 p.m.

the Woodward Elks Rodeo against the national champion roper, and won. That is one of the many stories that Bill will share.

Bill’s grandparents, Les and Flossie Floyd Bixler, raised quarter horses in the Rose Valley community. Les bought Harmon Baker B, a colt born in 1940, whose registration number was #1282.

There are more than 20 million registered today. Harmon Baker B was raised to be a stud horse at the Bixler ranch.

Les and Flossie Bixler’s sons, Max and Rex, were around horsemen, horses and ranching, and it became their life as well.

Bill will be joined on Saturday by Stewart Hodges, long-time friend of the Bixler family, who will share stories and experiences he shared with Rex and others.

There will be a great photographic display and artifacts for viewing, and refreshments. There is no charge for admission to the program at 2 o’clock or for the Waynoka Air Rail Museum. The museum will open at 12:30. For further information, contact Sandie Olson at 580-824-5871 or Bill Bixler at 580-8240251.

said they are hosting a “Back to School” night for the parents, where they will do a brief run-through of their student’s schedule and hear a synopsis of what will be included in the class. Afterwards, there will be a meeting in the auditorium to explain some handbook changes. For example, students can earn an extra 25 minutes for lunch if they have no tardies, no absences, and keep a “C” average or greater. Those students who don’t fall in that group stay about a half-hour longer for tutoring help. Parkhurst said they did this last year on one day per week, and it was so successful that they are expanding it to all school days.

Parkhurst also mentioned they will need to renegotiate the Alva Classroom Teacher’s contract because of some changes enacted by the State Legislature.

All of the other principals told of a significant amount of refurbishing work going on in all buildings. The board approved an agreement to accept math and English credits from Northwest Technology Center.

They also accepted bids for milk, from Hiland Dairy, and for bread products, from Earth Grains. Only one milk

bid was submitted.

Tracy Leeper mentioned that enrollment numbers are growing, and they may be looking at a sixth Pre-K class.

She also mentioned the new school start time is 8:20 a.m. instead of 8:30 a.m.

One reason is that breakfast is going to be offered at all elementary schools.

Ron Sunderland, AMS Principal, said the primary changes are synching the new start times and lunch break times with the Alva High School. Hopefully, this will make it easier for teachers who have to travel between both buildings.

The Alva district agreed to sign contracts with the Tulsa Public Schools for a license to use their student evaluation system. They also signed with employee Evaluation Systems, Inc., for use of the on-line component of teacher evaluation.

A contract was signed with Elizabeth Parkhurst for Physical Therapy services for the district for the 2012-2013 school year.

Julie Wren, Speech Pathologist, was approved to attend the Prompt Institute in Dallas, Texas for a seminar September 13-15, 2012.

Shaffer fice during the first week of August, it’s apparent he is busy getting acclimated.

He’s trying to improve student schedule options, respond to phone inquiries and so much more with just a skeleton crew until it’s time for everyone to return.

The new principal said of students, “I like kids to try. Putting forth effort is so important. Your own effort is the only thing you can control.”

South Barber Superintendent Brad Morris said about the new principal, “We’re very pleased and excited to have Mr. Shaffer. He’ll be an outstanding addition to the high school and junior high. We’re lucky to have him. He’s very straight-forward and has excellent references — he works well with faculty. He has some new ideas which always occur when you have change.

I’m impressed with things he’s looking at. He’s knowledgeable of the education process and working with students.

South Barber is very fortunate to have him on board.”

Shaffer is ready to take on his new role as South Barber classes begin for the 2012-13 school year Tuesday, August 28.

Kiowa’s new hospital finances are a go

County Commissioners and PBC sign final documents

By Yvonne Miller Members of the Barber County Public Building Commission and Kiowa District Hospital administration joined the Barber County Commissioners, Paul Cox, Steve Garten and Paul Harbaugh, and their attorney, Gordon Stull,at their regular meeting July 30.

The purpose was to take care of the final paperwork details of obtaining finances for Kiowa’s new hospital project.

The group heard from Kevin Cowen of Gilmore and Bell, regarding the already county commissioner-approved $4 million in Revenue Bonds that will, in part, fund the project. Cowen confirmed the bonds sold for an average rate of 2.4 percent. Security Bank of Kansas City will be the escrow agent for the hospital.

Hospital Chief Financial Officer Janell Goodno said the bonds are set up to be paid off in 15 years. The soonest the bonds can be paid is 8 years, she said.

In addition to the taxpayer funding for the project, the commissioners noted that Kiowa’s hospital has already secured the extra money needed, known as “GAP” funding, in the form of a $3 million USDA loan. That loan is set up on a 20 year payoff schedule, Goodno said.

Total sources of money for the project comes from: USDA Loan, $3 million; Barber County contribution, $3,808,000; Capital Lease from Barber

County, $192,000; Premium on bond issuance, $80,000; and Kiowa Hospital Foundation contribution, $1,225,985.

Total sources are: $8,305,985.

The commissioners passed Resolution 2012-6 that authorizes the county to enter into a lease with the PBC. The county will lease the hospital building from the PBC; then sublease the building to the hospital district.

The commissioners also approved Resolution 2012-8 that adopts a taxexempt financing compliance procedure for the bonds.

The PBC passed and signed a resolution authorizing issuance of the $4 million bonds.

Now the architects’ plans can proceed to build a 25,000 square foot Critical Access Hospital on the south end of Kiowa (on the east side of Highway 8, just south of the water tower) on hospital district-owned property. Kiowa District Hospital Chief Executive Officer Aldeen “Van” Vandeveer said ground breaking is estimated to begin around the end of September or early October.

CFO Goodno said, “We are very excited about getting started with the Kiowa District Hospital building project. The new hospital will better serve the health care needs of our community while providing an energy-efficient facility that will be adaptable and flexible for future expansion.”

Man faces eight charges after picking a fight with an officer

By Marione Martin After being arrested July 31, a man is facing four felony charges and four misdemeanor charges in Alfalfa County.

According to documents on file, Cherokee Police Officer Adam Honeyman was standing outside the police department about 8:10 p.m. when he saw Andrew Bostwick approaching from the north on foot.

Honeyman described Bostwick as unsteady on his feet and nearly staggering across the roadway from a trailer park located on the northeast corner just north of the police department. Bostwick stopped by a sign indicating a parking spot reserved for police vehicles and tried to begin an argument over the fact that Honeyman had not parked his patrol car in the reserved space.

Bostwick walked from the sign toward Honeyman, smoking a cigarette.

He inhaled and placed the cigarette in the butt can next to the door. He turned and intentionally exhaled both his cigarette smoke and some saliva into Honeyman’s face. Bostwick then entered the police department where he began a conversation with the dispatcher. As Honeyman entered, he heard Bostwick yelling.

Honeyman immediately placed Bostwick under arrest for both public intoxication and placing bodily fluids on a peace officer. As he began to walk Bostwick out to his patrol vehicle, Officer Flaherty arrived.

Bostwick refused to walk to Honey-

man’s vehicle, attempting to turn as if he wanted to initiate a fight while his hands were handcuffed behind his back. He was placed in an escort position and placed against the side of the vehicle. He continued to resist so the two officers placed him in Flaherty’s vehicle, which has a prisoner transport cage.

At the Alfalfa County Jail, as the officers removed Bostwick from the vehicle, he walked about five steps then knelt to the ground rapidly and was pulling his hands under his feet to try to get his hands in front to fight. Bostwick began fighting with the officers. Flaherty placed him into a neck restraint three separate occasions, to the point of Bostwick passing out. Bostwick recovered each time and continued to resist and fight. After the third time, Bostwick became compliant enough to walk into the jail.

Once inside, Bostwick pulled away from Flaherty and attempted to walk away, after being warned that he would be charged with attempting to escape from custody. Bostwick said, “I am leaving.” Deputy Gebers arrived. He and Flaherty began walking Bostwick into the jail. Bostwick continued to resist, turned and struck Gebers with a closed fist in the right temple.

Bostwick was told multiple times by staff and officers to remove his shoes, belt and shorts which had pockets. He took off his belt and wrapped it around his hand in an attempt to swing it as a weapon. He was not handcuffed at this time. Gebers warned him three times that if he did not comply, he would be tased.

Gebers deployed the taser, but Bostwick reached down and removed one of the probes defeating the incapacitating effects.

Bostwick was warned that if he con-

tinued to resist, he would be pepper sprayed. He still did not comply, so Deputy Gebers pepper sprayed him. Bostwick became somewhat compliant, screaming he could not see and his face was on fire.

Alfalfa County EMS was called to assist in de-contaminating Bostwick, as well as the Cherokee Fire Department to assist in ventilating the jail.

Officers Flaherty and Honeyman rode in the ambulance with Bostwick as he was transported to Share Medical Center in Alva. During the 19 mile trip, Bostwick spit and pulled away from EMT’s as they were trying to provide emergency care.

The officers called ahead to the Woods County Sheriff’s Office. A deputy, two police officers and Highway Patrol Trooper Brock Morgan met them at the hospital to assist in containing Bostwick. While Honeyman was holding him to the hospital bed, Bostwick kicked him with his foot on more than one occasion.

Bostwick also threatened Honeyman that this was not the end; he would find him, as he had a problem to resolve.

When Honeyman told him not to make threats, he said they were not threats, they were promises. Bostwick also said he would die soon from a police officer shooting him.

On August 2, a list of eight charges was filed against Andrew Ray Bostwick, 22, of Cherokee, in Alfalfa County Court.

The felony charges are assault and battery on a peace officer with bodily secretion, two counts of assault and battery upon a police officer, and attempting to escape from a peace officer. The misdemeanors are public intoxication, resisting arrest, obstructing an officer, and interruption, disruption or interference with emergency telephone.

City of Kiowa approves $2.5 million budget, raises trash rates, keeps sales tax rate

By Yvonne Miller Kiowa’s City Council held a public hearing for the 2013 Tax Budget just prior to their regular August meeting Monday night. After no public comment or protest regarding the tax budget, in regular session council approved the $2,548,583 budget.

City Administrator Nathan Law said the City of Kiowa’s assessed valuation increased to $4.66 million this year, primarily due to oil and gas revenue in the county. That is an increase of $247,000.

That makes the city’s mills 42.367 for 2013. That’s less than last year’s millage which was 43.172, Law said.

Law, city attorney Laurel McClellan and City Clerk Marlo Rugg sat at the table with Mayor Brandon Farney and councilmen Bill Watson, Brian Hill, Russel Molz and Brandon Poland.

Councilman Mark Lambert arrived about 8:35 for the 8 p.m., meeting.

Trash Rates to Increase Law reminded council that the city’s auditor said Kiowa must get the solid waste department to pay for itself.

The administrator recommended council increase residential trash rates by $2 per month. This goes along with a 15 percent increase to all trash rate categories, which would equal $1,727.61 per month or $20,731.32 annually.

Law said that increase will offset the currently budgeted shift of salaries from that fund to another due to revenue vs. expenditures, as well as increased expected landfill charges.

Council unanimously approved the $2 trash rate increase which will take residential rates to $15.50 per month.

Lambert added, “We’ve raised our trash rates two times and haven’t raised Hazelton’s rates once. It’s not fair to our citizens.”

Kiowa’s trash truck picks up Hazelton’s trash weekly, charging them $105 per month. Hazelton does pay their own dumping fee to the landfill.

Council directed Law to re-evaluate the cost with the City of Hazelton, starting with Kiowa’s cost to provide the service.

Council Says No to Sales Tax Increase Law asked council to again consider raising the retailer’s sales tax from 7.3

percent. That would require putting a question on the November ballot for voters to decide. The administrator said this is a way to keep property taxes from increasing when the city has limited revenue options.

Poland moved to put a sales tax increase question on the ballot. Watson seconded the motion. Hill and Molz voted against. Lambert was not yet at the meeting. Since it was a tie, Mayor Farney stepped in to break the tie, and said he was opposed. The motion failed.

Voices Elevate Over Gun Purchase and Purchasing Authority When council reviewed monthly bills to pay, Molz questioned why the police department purchased three new guns.

Chief Steven Johnson explained, as he did at a previous council meeting, that he was going to replace three automatic weapons the police department already had, with three standard guns.

“I’m against it,” Molz said.

When Molz asked the chief why, Johnson said, “It’s dangerous for our officers to have automatic weapons.”

Johnson said he’s already sold the automatic weapons to someone in Virginia. Poland noted that the sale made a profit.

A different agenda item apparently dealt with the same subject. This regarded the city’s purchasing authority policy. The policy allows for department heads to make purchases of under $500, as needed, for day-to-day functions; and to allow the administrator to approve substantial purchases, under $5,000, for department heads.

Law said his purchasing authority was questioned by some councilmen

following his approval of the police department’s gun purchase.

Molz moved to change the administrator’s purchasing authority from $5,000 to $1000.

Poland said, “That is ignorant.” Poland looked at council members and reminded them that not one of them said anything about the gun purchase at the last meeting when it was mentioned.

Then Poland said, “There was some discussion after the meeting that got blown out of proportion.”

From the audience, Robert Stark, a former longtime city councilman and current hospital board member, warned, “You better have no discussions outside these doors or you’ll have the state on you. We’ve been through that before.”

Lambert seconded Molz’ motion.

Poland said, “Be prepared to have special meetings out the wazoo.”

Poland and Watson voted no with Molz, Lambert and Hill voting yes so the motion passed.

Other Kiowa Council Action The annual Standard Traffic Ordinance and Uniform Offense Code were approved for the mayor’s signature.

A bid of $8,850 for gravel and hauling with McMurray Farm and Trucking was approved.

A contract with Central Tank Coatings, Inc., for $16.750 was approved to paint the north water tower.

Landwehr Roofing representatives from Sharon attended the meeting to discuss their option to treat the city’s hail damaged roof. Law said more bids are expected, and recommended council wait until next month to decide.
