The Municipal Code of the City of Moore, OK began in-­house in 2020 with
the assistance of Municipal Code Corporation. This City Code shall be
cited as Moore City Code or "MCC" as an acronym. MCC references found
within the code maintain a structure by subject matter using a decimal
and hyphenated numbering system which identifies the chapter and section
(**example: 1-101.01**). This complete set of numbers is designed to aid
in searching and/or referencing the Municipal Code, and to assist in
subsequent codification is new ordinances are added to the Municipal
Code.

-   The first number in the sequence designates the **PART** level
-   The second series of numbers (**1**-101) designates the **CHAPTER**
    level
-   The third series of numbers (1-**101**) designates the **Section**
    level
-   If a fourth series exists comprising letters or numbers beyond the
    section level, it designates a **Subsection** level.

To outline, give structure, and more granularly reference the
legislation herein, the following list order (or pattern of ascending
alphanumeric characters) is used: **(a), (1), a, 1, i**. Drafting
legislation with this list order better reconciles the content in local
software and hard copies, with the content in this online code. The
legislative history beneath a legislation's content identifies the
specific legal sources, and may be provided to substantiate the online
code.

The Municipal Code is supplemented from time­ to ­time with amendments and
additions made by Moore, Oklahoma. The specific legal sources that
comprise this Municipal Code have been adopted during the codification
process from the original formatting of the official hard copy. In the
event of discrepancies between the online Municipal Code and the
official hard copy, the official hard copy governs. Municipal Code
Corporation, provides a searchable database of the Municipal Code for
easy reference and convenience. NOTICE: THE MUNICIPAL CODE MAY NOT
REFLECT ALL OR THE MOST CURRENT VERSION OF LEGISLATION ADOPTED BY THE
CITY COUNCIL THAT HAS YET TO BE UPDATED ONLINE. IN THE EVENT OF CONFLICT
BETWEEN THE MUNICIPAL CODE AND A WRITTEN ORDINANCE, THE ORDINANCE
TYPICALLY GOVERNS. ALSO, THE MUNICIPAL CODE MAY NOT REFLECT RULES OR
OTHER REGULATIONS PROMULGATED UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF THE CODE, INCLUDING
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS. FOR MORE INFORMATION CONTACT THE CITY CLERK.\

</div>

1.  To initiate recall proceedings, a written statement in duplicate
    proposing the recall of the incumbent of an elective office, shall
    be signed by twenty or more registered qualified electors of the
    city, and shall be filed with the city clerk after the incumbent has
    held the office at least four months. The statement shall also
    contain the reason or reasons for which the recall is sought, in not
    more than two hundred words. Within five days, the city clerk shall
    mail a copy of such statement by registered, certified, or similar
    special mail to the officer at his residential address. Within ten
    days after the statement is mailed to the officer, the officer may
    make and file with the city clerk a written statement in duplicate
    justifying his conduct in office, in not more than two hundred
    words; and the city clerk on request shall deliver one copy to one
    of the persons filing the statement proposing the recall.
2.  The petition for recall shall include a demand that a successor to
    the incumbent sought to be recalled be elected, and shall also
    include before the space where the signatures are to be written the
    statement giving the reason or reasons for recall under the heading
    \"STATEMENT FOR RECALL,\" and if the officer has filed a statement
    as authorized, the statement justifying his conduct in office under
    the heading \"STATEMENT AGAINST RECALL.\" The two statements shall
    be in letters of the same size. A copy of the petition shall be
    filed with the city clerk within one month after recall proceedings
    are initiated by the filing of the first statement, and before the
    petition is circulated.
3.  A number of registered qualified electors of the city equal at least
    to thirty-five percent (35%) of the number of electors who voted in
    the last general municipal election, must sign the petition. Each
    signer shall write after his name his address within the city,
    giving street or avenue and number, if any. Not more than one
    hundred signatures may appear on a single copy of the petition.
    Petitions may be circulated only by registered qualified electors of
    the city; and the person who circulates each copy of the petition
    shall sign an affidavit on the copy stating that each signer signed
    the petition in his presence, that each signature on the petition is
    genuine, and that he believes each signer to be a registered
    qualified elector of the city.
4.  The circulated petition shall be filed with the city clerk not later
    than one month after the filing of a copy as provided above. Within
    one month after date of filing of the circulated petition, the city
    clerk shall examine it and ascertain whether it has been prepared
    and circulated as required, and whether the required number of
    registered qualified electors of the city have signed it. He shall
    then attach his certificate to the petition. If his certificate
    states that the petition has not been prepared and circulated as
    required and/or lacks a sufficient number of signatures, the
    petition shall have no effect unless the decision of the city clerk
    is appealed from and reversed by the district court. But, if the
    city clerk\'s certificate states that the petition has been prepared
    and circulated as required and has a sufficient number of
    signatures, he shall submit the petition and certificate to the
    council at its next meeting. Provided that any qualified elector who
    has signed said petition or the officer affected may appeal from the
    decision of the city clerk within five days from the date of such
    decision to the district court.

1.  Regular meetings of the city council shall be held at 6:30 p.m. on
    the first and third Monday of each month unless the Monday is a
    holiday or a day formally recognized as a holiday by the city
    council. Meetings that fall on a Monday which are a formal holiday
    shall be held on the next business day thereafter, at the same times
    and specified location.
    1.  No regular meeting of the city council shall continue past 10:00
        p.m. unless extended by a majority vote of the city council
        pursuant to the guidelines set forth below. Under no
        circumstances shall a regular meeting of the city council extend
        past 12:00 midnight.
    2.  Regular scheduled meetings of the city council may be continued
        past 10:00 p.m. by majority vote of the city council under the
        following provisions:
        1.  To ensure that the city meets its financial obligations
            council may extend a meeting to consider items on the
            \"claims list\" and consent docket;
        2.  A regularly scheduled meeting may be extended past 10:00
            p.m. to allow the city council to consider any agenda item
            which is of critical importance to the operation of
            municipal government or is an item which significantly
            affects the health, safety, and welfare of the community. To
            enable the city council to efficiently and properly conclude
            its business after 10:00 p.m. the council should consider
            only those items which are necessary, or those items
            sponsored or requested by private individuals;
        3.  Regular meetings of the city council which extend beyond the
            10:00 p.m. curfew may be recessed and reconvened to a date
            and time certain. The recessed meeting should be reconvened
            within seven days following the suspended meeting. Only
            matters appearing on the agenda of the meeting which is
            continued may be discussed at the reconvened meeting;
        4.  Nothing in this policy shall prevent council from exercising
            other aspects of Robert\'s Rules of Order or any council
            policies or procedures that may hereinafter be enacted in
            conducting its business. (For example, council may vote to
            table any number of agenda items to the following regularly
            scheduled meeting instead of having to hold a reconvened or
            recessed meeting.)
2.  The mayor with the assistance of the city manager and city staff
    shall, no later than five days prior to each regular council meeting
    of the city council, prepare and deliver to each councilmember\'s
    home address, an agenda comprised of matters to be presented to,
    considered by, discussed or resolved at or acted upon by the council
    at its next regular meeting, and shall include thereon all matters
    of city business to come before the council. No matter shall be
    presented to or discussed at any meeting of the council except
    matters so placed on the agenda and matters so necessarily concerned
    or directly connected therewith. Provided, an entirely new matter
    may be so presented, discussed and acted upon in accordance with the
    provisions of the Oklahoma Open Meeting Act (25 O.S. § 301 et seq.).
    No claim shall be acted upon or allowed by the council unless it has
    been listed within the agenda delivered to the council as prescribed
    herein. Payment of emergency claims, not included in the agenda, may
    be submitted and paid upon six affirmative votes or a three-quarter
    majority of the councilmembers present.
3.  The council may meet in executive or closed session as authorized by
    the Oklahoma Open Meeting Act (25 O.S. § 301 et seq.).

        the five-minute time shall apply regardless of the number of
        issues the speaker wishes to address. Speaking time may not be
        loaned or shared;
    5.  The city council, by a majority vote, may permit additional
        discussion by technical experts, consultants and professionals

        the agenda item the person wishes to comment on. Completed forms
        will be given to the city clerk or the assistant or deputy
        thereof, prior to the beginning of each meeting. Blank forms,

        servants or employees of the city or the public works authority
        who have been requested by the city manager, mayor or city
        council to speak on a specific agenda item.
3.  No person, whether a city resident, nonresident, a legal

        requisite number of councilmen; or
    4.  Failure to state, when requested by the presiding officer of the
        meeting, the speaker\'s own name and address for the record of

    evidence and on procedures and other rulings which he may deem
    reasonable and necessary to conduct a fair public hearing. He shall

1.  There is hereby established a risk management and risk reduction
    program to be implemented by the city risk management board
    (\"board\"), which board is established for this purpose by the
    public works authority. It is the policy of the city to provide for
    comprehensive risk management and risk reduction through a
    self-insurance plan administered by the board on behalf of the
    public works authority. The city council explicitly delegates to the
    board the obligation to defend city employees pursuant to the
    Governmental Tort Claims Act (51 O.S. § 151 et seq.).
2.  All officers and employees of the city are hereby authorized to
    accept appointments to, and to cooperate with, the board. Such
    participation or cooperation shall be as provided for in the rules,
    regulations or bylaws pertaining to the board insofar as such
    participation or cooperation is not inconsistent with obligations
    arising under this Code or city Charter.
3.  In addition to the delegation of certain duties of the city arising
    under the Governmental Tort Claims Act (51 O.S. § 151 et seq.), the
    officers and employees of the city may be provided, and may
    participate in, such other self-insurance programs which may be
    established form time to time by the board, including, but not
    limited to, medical, dental, vision, property, workers\'
    compensation, retirement, or disability coverages. The city and the
    board may pay all or a portion of the costs for the risk management
    and risk reduction program in accordance with the applicable
    provisions of this Code as well as state and federal law. In
    accordance with the requirements of the risk management and risk
    reduction program the city, the public works authority or the board
    may pay a portion or all of the costs of the risk management and
    risk reduction program from any fund, and may deduct from the wages
    or salary of any such officer or employee upon written authority
    signed by such officer or employee for the payment of costs required
    under the program.
4.  To the extent that the board enacts and implements programs, rules,
    regulations or bylaws which are inconsistent with the personnel
    rules of the city with respect to workers\' compensation, safety
    administration or accident review, such duties and responsibilities
    shall be deemed to be delegated to the board directly in connection
    with the board\'s responsibility for the administration of such
    coverages and risk management concerns. Any personnel rule
    inconsistent with a rule, regulation or bylaw of the board shall be
    deemed to be amended to delete inconsistent provisions as of the
    effective date of the action of the board.

council may appoint a temporary replacement to ensure that there are
three non-biased members to hear all cases. The temporary replacement
shall be only for a particular case and should be a person who
demonstrates the requisite impartiality toward the issue to be decided.
Council may consider selecting and employing a person from a public or

1.  There is hereby levied and assessed an annual occupation tax on
    every business or occupation relating to alcoholic beverages as
    specifically enumerated herein and pursuant to the provisions of 37
    O.S. § 554.1 in the amount as set by the city council by motion or
    resolution.
2.  The occupation tax for a brewer and a Class B wholesaler shall be
    reduced by 75 percent if the brewer or Class B wholesaler is also
    the holder of a license from the state to manufacture or wholesale
    any low-point beer as provided in 37 O.S. § 518.
3.  The occupation tax levied herein shall be paid in advance to the
    city clerk who shall issue a receipt therefor.
4.  The occupation tax levied herein shall expire on June 30 annually.
    The amount of any occupation tax levied shall be computed pro rata
    upon the months remaining in the year ending June 30 following. Such
    taxes paid on or before the 15th day of any month shall be on the
    basis of the first day of the month, and such taxes paid after the
    15th day of the month shall be on the basis of the first day of the
    next succeeding month.
5.  Any state licensee carrying on his occupation in more than one
    location in the corporate limits of the city shall be subject to the
    tax hereinabove specified for each location.
6.  The occupation taxes prescribed herein shall be reduced to the
    extent necessary to conform to applicable state law reducing the
    state license fee to such person, but only to such extent as may be
    required to conform to applicable state law, it being the intention
    that this chapter shall levy the maximum tax allowable for the
    occupations on which there is hereby levied an occupation tax.
7.  Upon payment of the occupation tax, the city clerk shall issue a
    receipt, signed by the city clerk, to the state licensee paying such
    occupational tax. The city clerk shall also record the name of the
    licensee and the address where the licensee engages in his
    occupation. Such record shall be duly filed and kept in the
    permanent files of the city for at least five years. Thereafter,
    upon resolution by the council, it may be destroyed.
8.  Any state licensee shall post his tax receipt in a conspicuous place
    on the premises wherein he carries on his occupation.
9.  The occupation tax shall cover only the person paying the tax and no
    other or a successor thereof, and shall not be refundable.
10. The city clerk shall make and transmit to the alcoholic beverage
    laws enforcement (\"ABLE\") commission an annual report showing the
    number and class of licenses subject to the tax and the amount of
    money received therefrom.
11. All sums due from any person by reason of occupation taxes imposed
    by this chapter and all penalties accruing from such person by
    reason of failure to pay such tax shall be recoverable at the suit
    of the city, brought against such person in any court of competent
    jurisdiction. In any suit, in addition to the tax and penalties, the
    plaintiff shall recover interest, at the rate of ten percent per
    annum, upon all sums due by way of tax and penalty from the date of
    accrual thereof, and all costs of collection, judicial or otherwise,
    including reasonable attorney\'s fees, all to be determined by the
    court. Prosecution for an offense against the city, arising out of
    the failure to pay a tax levied by this chapter, regardless of the
    outcome thereof or its continued pendency, shall not constitute a
    defense or bar in any manner to the collection of the tax and
    penalties, if any are due, as herein provided.

1.  No person shall:

        person who is under the age of 21 years, or sell, furnish or
        give any alcoholic beverages to any person who is insane,

        premises of a retail package store, or allow such a person to
        be, enter or remain in the store.  

2.  1.  If the premises of a licensee of the alcoholic beverage laws
        enforcement (ABLE) commission contains a separate or enclosed
        lounge or bar area, which has as its main purpose the sale or
        distribution of alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption,
        notwithstanding that as an incidental service, meals or short
        order foods are made available therein, no person under 21 years
        of age shall be admitted to such area, except for members of a
        musical band employed or hired as provided section 3-108 when
        the band is to perform within such area, or persons under 21
        years of age who are on the licensed premises for the limited
        purpose of performing maintenance, construction, remodeling,
        painting or other similar services relating to the building or
        equipment installation, repair or maintenance on the premises
        during those hours when the licensed establishment is closed for
        business. The provisions of this section shall not prohibit
        persons under 21 years of age from being admitted to an area
        which has as its main purpose some objective other than the sale
        or mixing or serving of said beverages, in which sales or
        serving of said beverages are incidental to the main purpose, as
        long as the persons under 21 years of age are not sold or served
        alcoholic beverages. The incidental service of food in the bar
        area shall not exempt a licensee from the provisions of this
        section. The ABLE commission shall have the authority to
        designate the portions of the premises of a licensee where
        persons under 21 years of age shall not be admitted pursuant to
        this section. When determining a licensee\'s main purpose,
        low-point beer sales shall be counted separately, and it shall
        not be considered a food or an alcoholic beverage.
    2.  A new licensee that claims as its main purpose some objective
        other than the sale of alcoholic beverages may be granted a
        separate or enclosed lounge or bar area for a period of 90 days.
        At the end of that 90-day period, the licensee shall have the
        burden of showing that the business continues to qualify for a
        separate or enclosed bar area. If the licensee fails to satisfy
        this burden, then that licensee\'s main purpose shall
        automatically convert to the sale of alcoholic beverages.

3.  Except as otherwise provided, an admission charge shall not be
    considered in any calculation designed to determine the main purpose
    of an establishment pursuant to subsection (B) of this section. As
    used in this section, the term \"admission charge\" means any form
    of consideration received by an establishment from a person in order
    for that person to gain entrance into the establishment.

4.  The provisions of subsection (C) of this section shall not apply:
    1.  If only persons 18 years of age or older are permitted to enter
        the licensed premises; provided, however, if the licensee is
        claiming an exception from the requirements of subsection (C) of
        this section pursuant to this subsection and fails to restrict
        the entry by persons under age 18 into the licensed premises,
        the ABLE commission shall designate that only persons 21 years
        of age or older are allowed on the licensed premises;
    2.  If the licensed premises are owned or operated by a service
        organization or fraternal establishment which is exempt under
        section 501(c)(19), (8), or (10) of the Internal Revenue Code;

    the renewal of such license if there has not been a lapse of more
    than 60 days. When any mixed beverage establishment, beer and wine
    establishment, or bottle club subject to the provisions of this

</div>

1.  Purpose. The intent of this section is to protect the health,
    safety, and welfare of the community and its wildlife by prohibiting
    the feeding of wild animals and waterfowl on public and private
    property within the corporate limits of the City of Moore. The
    feeding of waterfowl and other wild animals increases the potential
    for damage to public parks and private property. It also elevates
    the potential for the spread of disease in people and companion
    animals. In addition, it is the intent of this section to protect
    the welfare of the waterfowl and wild animals themselves. Wildlife
    studies have shown that feeding waterfowl and other wild animals can
    interrupt their normal migration patterns, can make them more
    aggressive in demanding food, cause nutritional problems, expose
    them and our citizens to danger by eliminating the animals' natural
    fear of predators, and promote the spread of diseases and
    disease-carrying parasites. 
2.  Definitions. As used in this section, the following terms shall have
    the meanings indicated:[]{.cursor-fix}
    1.  BIRD FEEDER. A container, receptacle or apparatus designed for
        the feeding of songbirds or other backyard birds.
    2.  FEED. To give, place, expose, deposit, distribute or scatter any
        edible material which can be utilized for consumption by wild
        animals. Feeding does not include legal baiting for the legal
        taking of fish and/or game.
    3.  PERSON. Any individual, corporation, company, partnership, firm,
        association, or political subdivision of this state subject to
        municipal jurisdiction.
    4.  WATERFOWL. Wildfowl of the order Anseriformes, especially
        members of the family Anatidae which includes any bird that
        swims, frequents the water, or lives about rivers, lakes, or
        other bodies of water, including but not limited to ducks,
        geese, swan and gulls.
    5.  WILD ANIMAL. Any animal, which is usually not a domestic animal
        and which can normally be found in the wild state, with or
        without mean or vicious propensities, including, but not limited
        to, coyotes, deer, leopards, panthers or other feral cats,
        bears, wolves, foxes, groundhogs, squirrels, chipmunks, mice,
        rats, rabbits, opossums, raccoons, skunks, and waterfowl. 
3.  Prohibitions:
    1.  No person shall purposely or knowingly, feed or in any manner
        provide access to food to any wild animal or waterfowl within
        the corporate limits of the City, on lands either publicly or
        privately owned. Feeding does not include baiting in the legal
        taking of fish and/or game.
    2.  Feeding of songbirds and other backyard birds, not including
        waterfowl, shall be permitted outdoors at such times and in such
        a manner that:
        1.  The feeding does not create an unreasonable disturbance with
            wildlife;
        2.  Any feed must be placed within a bird feeder with a maximum
            volume of not more than one cubic foot, placed at least four
            feet above ground;
        3.  Bird feeders are placed where wildlife other than songbirds
            and backyard birds are unable to eat from them and do not
            become an attractant for wild animals.
4.  PENALTY: Any person violating any of the provisions of this section
    shall, upon conviction thereof, be punished as provided in Section
    1-108.\

3.  Any person redeeming a dog or any other animal or fowl not licensed
    as required by this Code shall pay the required license tax to the
    animal shelter and secure a tag or other evidence of such payment
    and present the tag or receipt therefor to the person in charge of

    vaccination being shown to the animal control officer within 72
    hours of the release of the animal. If such proof is not presented,

    and deposit the deposit with the city treasurer to be retained as
    expenses of taking the animal into custody.
5.  In addition to the above fees, any person leaving an animal with the

While on the owner\'s property, the canine must be securely confined
indoors or, while outside, in a securely enclosed and locked pen or
structure suitable to prevent entry and designed to prevent the animal
from escaping. Such an enclosure must have minimum dimensions of five
feet by ten feet and must be at least six feet high. Such enclosure must
have secure sides and a secure top. If it has no bottom secured to the
sides, the sides must be embedded into the ground no less than two feet.
The enclosure must also provide protection from the elements for the
canine. Structures are subject to annual inspection.

The canine shall not be kept on a porch, patio or in any part of a house
or structure that would allow the dog to exit such building on its own
volition. In addition, the canine shall not be kept in a house or
structure when the windows are open or when screen windows or screen
doors are the only obstacle preventing the dog from exiting the
structure.

The canine may be off the owner\'s premises if it is muzzled and
restrained by a substantial chain or leash not exceeding six feet in
length and under the control of a responsible person.

The owner of the canine shall within 30 days of determination; display
in a prominent place on his premises a sign easily readable by the
public using the words \"Beware of Dog.\" In addition, a similar sign is
required to be posted on the pen or structure of the canine.

The owner of the canine determined to be a vicious canine shall within
30 days of determination register the canine with the animal control
officer. Registration shall be updated annually. Registration must be
accompanied by the following:

1.  Two color photographs of the canine clearly showing the color and
    approximate size of the canine;
2.  The fees required for a dog license as set forth in this chapter, or
    evidence of the fees having been paid; and
3.  An additional fee as set by the council for each vicious canine.

The owner of any canine determined to be vicious shall notify the animal
control officer immediately within 24 hours if a dangerous animal or
canine subject to registration as provided in this order is loose,
unconfined, has attacked another animal or livestock or has attacked a
human being, or has died.

Any canine declared vicious shall be spayed or neutered with 30 days of
such findings unless a duly licensed veterinarian provide documents to
the municipal court or animal control that medical conditions of the dog
contradict sterilization. Such sterilization shall require removal of
the reproductive organs. Verification that sterilization has taken place
shall be presented to the municipal court or animal control by the
licensed practicing veterinarian performing the procedure.

Any canine declared vicious shall receive an identification microchip
implant within 30 days of the determination. The microchip used must be
implanted by licensed veterinarian. It shall be a violation of the code
for a microchip to be removed unless it is for a medical reason and then
only by a licensed practicing veterinarian. The animal control must be
notified immediately of said removal.

The owner of any canine determined to be vicious shall obtain a policy
of liability insurance, such as homeowner\'s insurance, or surety bond,
issued by an insurer qualified under Title 36 of the Oklahoma Statutes
in an amount not less than \$100,000.00 insuring the owner for any
personal injuries inflicted by the vicious canine. The owner shall
provide proof of liability insurance to the Animal Control Department of
the City of Moore and shall provide updated coverage annually for as
long as the canine is within the city limits. Failure to provide and
maintain said insurance shall result in impoundment of the canine and
possible euthanasia.

2.  No person or other entity shall commence the construction of any
    building or structure to be used as a residential dwelling within
    the tornado damage area without obtaining a permit, and in order to
    be eligible to receive said permit, all planned construction shall
    conform to the applicable provisions of the building code adopted in
    this article, all other applicable provisions of the city, and in
    addition thereto, all planned construction within the tornado damage
    area shall specifically conform to the following basic standards:
    1.  Each planned residential dwelling structure shall have a minimum
        of 50 percent coverage of brick or stone. For the May 20, 2013,
        Tornado, the Foxglove Addition, Section 1 and 2, shall not have

    2.  Each planned residential dwelling structure shall have the
        minimum square footage as plat restrictions indicate. Where the
        plat restrictions do not indicate a minimum square footage
        requirement, each planned residential dwelling structure shall
        have a minimum of 1,000 square feet, excluding garage; and
    3.  Each planned residential dwelling structure is required to have
        an attached garage.
3.  In order to determine said conformity, as provided in subsection (B)
    of this section, the city may require the submission of detailed
    plans and specifications covering the proposed construction of
    buildings and residential dwellings within the tornado damage area,
    and shall refuse to issue such permit unless the work so planned is
    in accordance with the applicable provisions of the city, including
    the building code and this section.
4.  Nothing in this section shall be construed as repealing any
    ordinance or the authority to enact and enforce any ordinance of the
    city requiring the submission to the city of plans and
    specifications and the obtaining of permits, nor will anything
    herein in any way impair the power of the city to regulate the use
    of land by zoning, building codes or restricted fire district
    regulations or otherwise.
5.  Penalty. Unless otherwise provide herein, any person found guilty of
    violating any of the provisions of this section shall be guilty of
    an offense and, upon conviction thereof, shall be punished by a fine
    of not more than \$100.00, excluding costs. Every day that a
    violation exists shall constitute a separate violation and shall be

1.  Any person who claims to have been injured by a discriminatory
    housing practice or who believes that he will be irrevocably injured
    by a discriminatory housing practice that is about to occur
    (hereafter \"person aggrieved\") may file a complaint with the city
    manager and the city clerk. Complaints shall be in writing and shall
    contain such information and be in such form as the city manager
    requires. Upon receipt of such a complaint, the city manager shall
    furnish a copy of the same to the persons who allegedly committed or
    was about to commit the alleged discriminatory housing practice.
    Within 30 days after receiving a complaint, or within 30 days after
    the expiration of any period of reference under subsection (C) of
    this section, the city manager shall investigate the complaint and
    give notice in writing to the person aggrieved whether he intends to
    resolve it. If the city manager decides to resolve the complaints,
    he shall proceed to try to eliminate or correct the alleged
    discriminatory housing practice by informal methods of conference,
    conciliation and persuasion. Nothing said or done in the course of
    such informal endeavors may be made public or used as evidence in a
    subsequent proceeding under this chapter without the written consent
    of the persons concerned. Any employee or agent of the city manager
    or city who shall make public any information in violation of this
    provision shall be, upon conviction, punished as provided in section
    1-108.
2.  A complaint under subsection (A) of this section shall be filed
    within 180 days after the alleged discriminatory housing practice
    occurred. Complaints shall be in writing and shall state the facts
    upon which the allegations of a discriminatory housing practice are
    based. Complaints may be reasonably and fairly amended at any time.
    A respondent may file an answer to the complaint against him and
    with the leave of the city manager, which shall be granted whenever
    it would be reasonable and fair to do so, may amend his answer at
    any time. Both complaints and answers shall be verified.
3.  If, within 30 days after a complaint is filed with the city manager
    and city clerk, the city manager has been unable to obtain a
    voluntary compliance with this chapter, the person aggrieved may,
    within 30 days thereafter, file a complaint with the secretary of
    the department of housing and urban development. The city manager
    will assist in this filing.
4.  If the city manager has been unable to obtain voluntary compliance
    within 30 days of the complaint, the person aggrieved may, within 30
    days thereafter, commence a civil action in any appropriate court,
    against the respondent named in the complaint to enforce the rights
    granted or protected by this chapter, insofar as such rights relate
    to the subject of the complaint. If the court finds that a
    discriminatory housing practice has occurred or is about to occur,
    the court may enjoin the respondent from engaging in such practice
    or order such affirmative action as may be appropriate.
5.  In any proceeding brought pursuant to this section, the burden of
    proof shall be on the complainant.
6.  Whenever an action filed by an individual shall come to trial, the
    city manager shall immediately terminate all efforts to obtain
    voluntary compliance.

1.  In conducting an investigation the city manager shall have access at
    all reasonable times to premises, records, documents, individuals,
    and other evidence or possible sources of evidence and may examine,
    record, and copy such materials and take and record the testimony or
    statements of such persons as are reasonably necessary for the
    furtherance of the investigation; provided, however, that the city
    manager first complies with the provisions of the Fourth Amendment
    of the United States Constitution relating to unreasonable searches
    and seizures. The city manager may issue subpoenas to compel his
    access to or the production of such materials, or the appearance of
    such persons, and may issue interrogatories to a respondent, to the
    same extent and subject to the same limitations as would apply if
    the subpoenas or interrogatories were issued or served in aid of a
    civil action in the United States District Court for the district in
    which the investigation is taking place. The city manager may
    administer oaths.
2.  Upon written application to the city manager, a respondent shall be
    entitled to the issuance of a reasonable number of subpoenas by and
    in the name of the city manager to the same extent and subject to
    the same limitations as subpoenas issued by the city manager
    himself. Subpoenas issued at the request of a respondent shall show
    on their face the name and address of such respondent and shall
    state that they were issued at his request.
3.  Witnesses summoned by subpoena of the city manager shall be entitled
    to the same witness and mileage fees as are witnesses in proceedings
    in United States District Courts. Fees payable to a witness summoned
    by a subpoena issued at the request of a respondent shall be paid by
    him.
4.  Within five days after services of a subpoena upon any person, such
    person may petition the city manager to revoke or modify the
    subpoena. The city manager shall grant the petition if he finds that
    the subpoena requires appearance or attendance at an unreasonable
    time or place, that it requires production of evidence which does
    not relate to any matter under investigation, that it does not
    describe with sufficient particularity the evidence to be produced,
    that compliance would be unduly onerous, or for other good reason.
5.  In case of contumacy or refusal to obey a subpoena, the city manager
    or other person at whose request it was issued may petition for its
    enforcement in the municipal or county district court for the
    district in which the person to whom the subpoena was addressed
    resides, was served, or transacts business.
6.  Any person who willfully fails or neglects to attend and testify or
    to answer any lawful inquiry or to produce records, documents, or
    other evidence, if in his power to do so, in obedience to the
    subpoena or lawful order of the city manager shall be punished as
    provided in section 1-108. Any person who, with intent thereby to
    mislead the city manager, shall make or cause to be made any false
    entry or statement of fact in any report, account, record, or other
    document submitted to the city manager pursuant to his subpoena or
    other order, or shall willfully neglect or fail to make or cause to
    be made full, true and correct entries in such reports, accounts,
    records, or other documents, or shall willfully mutilate, alter, or
    by any other means falsify any documentary evidence, shall be
    punished as provided in section 1-108.
7.  The city attorney shall conduct all litigation in which the city
    manager participates as a party or as amicus pursuant to this

    1.  Spill light on adjacent residential or unlighted properties
        shall be minimized by complying with the following:
        1.  The lighting system shall be designed to minimize the impact
            on spill light to adjacent properties.

            they are mounted/shielded so as to direct the light away
            from the adjacent property (i.e., on a wall on the property
            line but directed inward). Maximum mounting height for
            wall-mounted luminaries shall be 15 feet, or as approved by
            the community development director.
    2.  Direct glare shall be minimized by compliance with the following

        1.  The lighting system shall be designed to minimize the impact
            on glare to adjacent properties.

            from six feet above grade at the property line. Exception:
            field sports lighting.
        3.  Where the adjacent property is residential and the luminaire
            is a decorative style, the lot line side of the luminaire is
            to be blocked/shielded out to eliminate spill and glare.
2.  Violations and enforcement. It shall be unlawful to install or
    operate an outdoor light fixture in violation of this Code. Final
    determination as to compliance with this section shall be based on
    point-by-point analysis by the community development director or

3.  Exemptions: nonconforming fixtures. All outdoor light fixtures,
    existing and fully installed, or for which a building permit has
    been issued prior to the effective date of this Code, may remain
    nonconforming; provided, however, that no change in use,
    replacement, structural alteration, or restoration of outdoor light

</div>

1.  To obtain a roofing contractor registration under this chapter, an
    applicant who is 18 years of age or older shall submit, on forms the
    city prescribes, an application attaching a valid approved state
    registration. A copy of the roofing contractor\'s certificate of
    liability insurance shall be filed with the application and shall be
    not less than \$500,000.00. Any insurance company issuing a
    liability policy to a roofing contractor pursuant to the provisions
    of this chapter shall be required to notify the city in the event
    such liability policy is cancelled for any reason or lapses for
    nonpayment of premiums. In addition, the roofing contractor shall
    submit proof that the contractor has secured workers\' compensation
    coverage satisfactory under the Administrative Workers\'
    Compensation Act (85A O.S. § 1 et seq.), or an affidavit of
    exemption or self-insurance as authorized pursuant to the Workers\'
    Compensation Act. If the city deems it appropriate or necessary, the
    city may also require other information to be included on the
    application form to assist the city in registering the person as a
    contractor. The application shall contain statements that the
    applicant desires the issuance of a roofing contractor registration
    certificate; that the applicant will comply with the provisions of
    this chapter; that the applicant will comply with state laws and
    local ordinances relating to standards and permits; that the
    applicant has or has not been registered or licensed as a roofing
    contractor in another state and whether any disciplinary action was
    taken against such registration or license or whether it is still in
    good standing; and that the nonresident applicant appoints the
    secretary of state as legal service agent for all lawful process to
    be served upon the applicant for work performed in the state or as
    otherwise provided in this chapter.
2.  The city shall refuse to register any person if the city determines:
    1.  The application contains false, misleading, or incomplete
        information;
    2.  The applicant fails or refuses to provide any information
        requested by the city;
    3.  The applicant fails or refuses to pay the required fees;
    4.  The applicant is ineligible for registration due to a suspended
        or revoked registration in the state;
    5.  The nonresident applicant has a revoked or suspended
        registration or license required by law for roofing contractors
        in another state; or
    6.  The applicant has failed or refuses to submit any taxes due in
        the state.
3.  The city shall notify the applicant in writing if the city denies a
    registration or renewal certificate, and shall provide the applicant
    an opportunity to respond to or cure any defect in the written
    application or renewal for a period of ten days from the date of the
    written notification. An applicant aggrieved by a decision of the
    city denying a registration or renewal may appeal the decision to
    the city manager as provided in the Administrative Procedures Act
    (75 O.S. § 250 et seq.), or the applicant may reapply after a 90-day
    waiting period, if otherwise eligible in the provisions of this
    chapter. The application and renewal fees shall not be refundable.
4.  The city shall classify as not in good standing the registration of
    any roofing contractor who fails to:
    1.  Maintain liability insurance coverage;
    2.  Maintain workers\' compensation coverage satisfactory under the
        Workers\' Compensation Act, or provide an affidavit of exemption
        or self-insurance as authorized pursuant to the Administrative
        Workers\' Compensation Act (85A O.S. § 1 et seq.);
    3.  File, renew, or properly amend any fictitious name certificate;
    4.  Maintain an active status of a corporation or registration as a
        foreign corporation, a limited liability company or registration
        as a foreign limited liability company, a limited liability
        partnership registration or foreign limited liability
        partnership registration, or a limited partnership certificate
        or limited partnership or foreign limited partnership
        certificate of authority, with the office of the secretary of
        state;
    5.  File or renew a trade name registration;
    6.  Maintain or renew a roofing contractor registration as provided
        in this chapter;
    7.  Notify the city of a change in name, address, legal business
        entity, legal service agent, or adjudication by a court of
        competent jurisdiction for any act or omission specified in 59
        O.S. § 1151.14(A) or a violation of this chapter;
    8.  Maintain a registration as required by law in another state
        while registered in this state as a nonresident roofing
        contractor; or
    9.  File and pay all taxes when due in the state.
5.  The city shall send a written notice to the person when his
    registration is not in good standing. Any roofing contractor who has
    been notified by the city that his registration is not in good
    standing shall cease soliciting or entering new roofing services and
    projects as of the date of such notification; however, the roofing
    contractor shall be allowed to complete roofing projects where
    actual physical work has begun prior to the date of issuance of the
    notice that his registration is not in good standing. If the roofing
    contractor fails to correct the deficiency specified in the notice
    by evidence satisfactory to the registrar within 30 days of the date
    of the notice, or if the roofing contractor solicits or enters into
    new roofing services contracts or projects while the roofing
    contractor\'s registration is not in good standing, or while such
    registration is suspended or revoked, the roofing contractor shall
    be in violation of the provisions of this chapter. Any registration
    that remains not in good standing for a 60-day period shall be
    suspended on the 60th day from the date of issuance of the notice to
    the roofing contractor that his registration is not in good
    standing. Any registration that remains not in good standing, and is
    suspended for such cause, shall be revoked on the 90th day from the
    date of issuance of the notice to the roofing contractor that his
    registration is not in good standing. The city shall notify the
    roofing contractor upon suspension or revocation of his registration
    for failure to comply in bringing such registration into good
    standing as required by law. The roofing contractor may reinstate
    his registration to good standing by paying the required fees
    provided in section 5-1007 and complying with all other requirements
    for issuance of a registration in good standing. Any person
    aggrieved by the decision of the city to suspend or revoke a
    registration pursuant to this section may appeal such decision to
    the city manager\'s office.

1.  Any roofing contractor registration certificate issued under this
    chapter may be renewed for each successive fiscal year by obtaining
    from the city a certificate of renewal. To obtain a certificate of
    renewal, the person shall file with the city a renewal application
    by June 30 and pay the renewal fee. The application for renewal
    shall require statements under oath that the applicant has properly
    submitted income and employment taxes due in the state; whether or
    not the applicant has been convicted of any felony offense, and the
    nature of such offense, since issuance of the prior registration;
    and whether or not the applicant has been adjudicated by a court of
    competent jurisdiction for any violation of this chapter or any act
    or omission specified in 59 O.S. § 1151.14(A). The city may forward
    a copy of any information in an application for renewal to the state
    tax commission and any other state agency. The applicant shall
    include with the renewal application a copy of certificate of
    liability insurance, unless the registrar has a current valid
    certificate of liability insurance on file, proof of workers\'
    compensation coverage, unless exempt under the Administrative
    Workers\' Compensation Act (85A O.S. § 1 et seq.), and, if
    applicable, a copy of the current registration certificate required
    by law for roofing contractors. The renewal application need not be
    notarized.

2.  The city shall refuse to renew a roofing contractor\'s registration
    certificate for any reason stated in 59 O.S. § 1151.5(B) or section
    5-1004 of this chapter. The city shall notify the applicant in
    writing if the city denies the renewal.

3.  If any roofing contractor fails to file a renewal application by the
    June 30 deadline that contractor\'s registration shall be not in
    good standing. A roofing contractor has a 30-day grace period after
    June 30 to renew the registration certificate without a late fee.
    The late fee shall be set by the city and such fee shall not exceed
    \$25.00. A roofing contractor registration certificate not renewed
    by August 30 shall be suspended for failure to renew, and on January
    1, if a roofing contractor\'s registration certificate still has not
    been renewed, it shall be revoked for failure to renew.

4.  1.  A roofing contractor desiring to renew a registration
        certificate that has been suspended for any cause provided in
        this chapter shall be assessed a fee equal to twice the amount
        of the fee established as a renewal amount.
    2.  The city shall assess a reinstatement fee to be set by
        resolution plus the fee established by section 5-1007 for any
        registration that has been revoked for any cause provided in
        this chapter.
    3.  A roofing contractor submitting an application for registration
        after suspension or revocation of that contractor\'s
        registration certificate must be otherwise eligible for
        registration under this chapter.

5.  The city shall include a registration status notation in a roofing
    contractor\'s record if the status of registration changes from an

Every applicant for a roofing contractor\'s registration who is a
nonresident contractor as defined by this chapter, by signing and filing
the application, appoints the secretary of state as the applicant\'s
true and lawful agent upon whom may be served all lawful process in any
action or proceeding against such nonresident contractor for
construction projects performed in the state. Such appointment in
writing is evidence of the roofing contractor\'s consent that any such
process against the contractor which is served upon the secretary of
state shall be of the same legal force and effect as if served upon the
contractor personally within the state. Registered foreign corporations,
registered foreign limited liability companies, foreign limited
liability partnerships and foreign limited partnerships entitled to do
business in the state having a current registered agent and registered
address on file in the office of the secretary of state need not appoint
the secretary of state as agent for service of process under this
section. Within ten days after service of the summons upon the secretary
of state, notice of such service with the summons and complaint in the
action shall be sent to the defendant roofing contractor at the
defendant contractor\'s last-known address by registered or certified
mail with return receipt requested and proof of such mailing shall be
attached to the summons. The secretary of state shall keep a record of
all process served upon the secretary of state under this section,
showing the day and hour of service. Whenever service of process was
made under this section, the court, before entering a default judgment,
or at any stage of the proceeding, may order such continuance as may be
necessary to afford the defendant contractor reasonable opportunity to
defend any action pending against the defendant contractor.

    with the court clerk a sum sufficient to cover fees and mileage for
    one day of attendance for each witness to be summoned, but such
    deposit shall not be required from an indigent defendant who files
    an affidavit setting forth:
    1.  The names of no more witnesses than the municipal judge for the

2.  In any case where an indigent defendant has properly filled out and
    filed with the city an affidavit setting forth the above-mentioned
    information, the fees for such witnesses shall be paid for by the

1.  All purchases of supplies, materials, equipment and contractual
    services for the offices, departments and agencies of the city
    government shall be made by the city manager or by other city
    personnel in accordance with purchase authorizations issued by the
    city manager, and section 7-203.
2.  The city council does hereby authorize the city manager or designee,
    as authorized by 62 O.S. § 310.1(C), to approve payment of any
    claims or invoices in an amount of \$22,500.00 or less for supplies,
    materials, services or equipment submitted to the city for payment.
    The city manager shall establish an internal control structure
    adequate to provide reasonable assurance against the unauthorized or
    illegal payment of invoices. Such system of internal control should
    include the following control procedures:
    1.  Proper authorization of transaction and activities;
    2.  Adequate segregation of duties;
    3.  Adequate documents and records;
    4.  Adequate safeguards over access to and use of assets and
        records; and
    5.  Independent checks on performance.
3.  Elements of the internal control structures, which are the control
    environment and the accounting system, must be included. The control
    environment shall consist of the overall attitude, awareness and
    actions of the governing body and management, including a
    foresighted management policy toward financial reporting. The
    methods and records of an effective accounting system shall result
    in:
    1.  Identification and recording of all valid transactions;
    2.  Description on a timely basis of the type of transaction in
        sufficient detail to permit proper classification of the
        transaction for financial reporting;
    3.  Measurements of the transactions value in a manner that permits
        recording of its monetary value in the financial statements;
    4.  Determination of the time period in which the transaction
        occurred to permit recording of the transaction in the proper
        accounting period;
    5.  Proper presentation of the transaction and related disclosures
        in financial statements.
4.  Exceptions.
    1.  The city manager shall not receive, consider, analyze, process,
        settle or litigate claims against the city and the authority
        arising out of any of the areas or risks covered by or included
        in the program whether or not they are or may be payable from
        the general operating account created under section 6 of Moore
        Public Works Authority Resolution 166(97). The city risk
        management board approval shall be required to settle all
        non-health related claims in the amount of \$5,000.00 or more
        and to settle all health related claims regardless of an amount;
        provided, however, all health related claims in the amount of
        \$10,000.00 or more shall be considered as a separate item at
        any regular or special meeting of the city risk management
        board. The city manager/general manager of the authority may
        approve the settlement of any non-health related claims
        \$5,000.00 or less. The authority shall approve the settlement
        of all non-health related claims or more as stated in Moore
        Public Works Authority Resolution 166(97); provided however, all
        non-health related claims in the amount of \$10,000.00 or more
        shall be considered as a separate item at any regular or special
        meeting of the City Council or Moore Public Works Authority.
    2.  The city council does hereby authorize the city manager or
        designee to approve payment of any claim or invoices for
        supplies, materials, services or equipment submitted to the city
        for payment of monthly utility billing, payments on prior
        council-approved contractual agreements, and general obligation
        bond projects pursuant to their contract. Examples of this
        include the following vendors:

7-203, the city purchasing authority shall submit to at least three
persons dealing in and able to supply the same, a request for quotation

bid; or publish notice of the proposed purchase in a newspaper of
general circulation within the city. He shall favor a person in the city
when this can be done without additional cost to the city; but he shall
submit requests for quotation to those outside the city when this may be
necessary to secure bids or to create competitive conditions, or when he
thinks that by so doing he can make a saving for the city; and shall
purchase from them when he can make a saving for the city. All bids
shall be sealed and shall be opened in public at a designated time and

    public health, welfare or safety, such as may arise by reason of
    floods, epidemics, riots, equipment failures, or such other reason
    as may be proclaimed by the city manager. The existence of such
    condition creates an immediate and serious need for supplies,
    services or construction that cannot be met through normal
    procurement methods and the lack of which would seriously threaten:
    1.  The function of the city government;
    2.  The preservation or protection of property; or

Where the city clerk believes that any operator is about to cease
business, leave the state, or remove or dissipate assets, or for any
other similar reason he deems it necessary to protect the revenues under
this chapter, he may require such operator to file with the city a bond
issued by a surety company authorized to transact business in the state
in such amount as the city clerk may fix to secure the payment of any
tax or penalties and interest due, or which may become due from such
operator. In the event that the city clerk determines that an operator
is to file such bond, he shall give notice to such operator specifying
the amount of bond required. The operator shall file such bond within
five days after the giving of such notice unless within such five days
the operator shall request in writing a hearing before the city council,
at which hearing the necessary propriety and amount of the bond shall be
determined by the city council. Such determination shall be final and
shall be compiled within 15 days thereafter. In lieu of such bond,
securities approved by the city clerk, or cash in such amount as he may
prescribe, may be deposited with the city clerk who may, at any time
after five days\' notice to the depositor, apply them to any tax or any

1.  The police chief is authorized to sell personal property, other than
    animals, money or legal tender of the United States, except as
    provided in subsection (B) of this section, which has come into his
    possession in any manner if:
    1.  The owner of the personal property is unknown or has not claimed
        the property;
    2.  The property has been in the custody of the police chief for at
        least 90 days; or
    3.  The property or any part thereof is no longer needed to be held
        as evidence or for any other purpose in connection with any
        litigation. Any owner, to recover or claim property, must be
        able to satisfactorily prove ownership to the police chief.
2.  Any property found by a person other than public official which
    shall be delivered to any police officer for identification and
    registration, if not claimed or identified within 30 days, shall,
    within ten additional days thereafter, if requested by the finder,
    be returned to him, and a record of such disposal made thereof.
    However, in all other cases, only property in which the finder
    relinquishes any future claim to its ownership will be stored in the
    city police property room.
3.  The police chief shall file an application in the district court of
    the county requesting the authority of the court to conduct a sale
    of such personal property or money or legal tender which has a fair
    market value of more than its face value. The police chief shall
    attach to his application a list describing such property or money
    or legal tender, including any identifying numbers and marks, the
    date the property or money or legal tender came into his possession,
    and the name of the owner and his address, if known. The court shall
    set the application for hearing not less than ten days nor more than
    20 days after filing of the application.
4.  In any instance where the property has an actual or apparent value
    of more than \$250.00, at least ten days prior to the date of the
    hearing, notice of the hearing shall be sent by first class mail to
    each owner at his address as listed in the application. If the owner
    of any property with an actual or apparent value exceeding \$500.00
    is unable to be served notice by certified mail, notice shall be
    provided by one publication in a newspaper of general circulation in
    the county. The notice shall contain a brief description of the
    property or money or legal tender of the owner and the place and
    date of the hearing. The notice shall be posted at the assigned
    place for the posting of city notices, and at two other public
    places in the city.
5.  If no owner appears and establishes ownership to the property at the
    hearing, the court shall enter an order authorizing the chief of
    police to dispose of the property as follows:
    1.  Donate the property having value of less than \$500.00 to a
        not-for-profit corporation as defined in 18 O.S. for use by
        needy families;
    2.  Sell the personal property for cash to the highest bidder, after
        at least five days\' notice of the sale has been published;
    3.  Transfer the property to a third-party agent under contract with
        the governing body or the chief of police for sale by Internet
        or other electronic means, regardless of whether the sale
        structure or distribution site is within the state; or
    4.  By any other means as determined appropriate by the court,
        including, but not limited to, destruction.\
        Regardless of the means of disposition, the chief of police
        shall make a return of the donation or sale and the order of the
        court confirming the donation or sale shall vest title to the
        property in the recipient or purchaser. After payment of court
        costs and other expenses, the remainder of money received from
        the sale of the personal property shall be deposited in the city
        general fund.
6.  All money or legal tender of the United States, except as provided
    in subsection (B) of this section, which has come into the
    possession of the police chief pursuant to the circumstances
    provided for in subsection (A) of this section, shall be transferred
    by the police chief to the city clerk for deposit in the general
    fund. Prior to any such transfer, the police chief shall file an
    application in the district court requesting the court to enter an
    order authorizing him to transfer the money for deposit in the
    general fund. The application shall describe the money or legal
    tender, any serial numbers, the date the same came into his
    possession, and the name of the owner and his address, if known.
    Upon filing the application which may be joined with an application
    as described in subsection (C) of this section, a hearing shall be
    set not less than ten days nor more than 20 days from the filing of
    the application. Notice of the hearing shall be given as provided
    for in subsection (D) of this section. The notice shall state that
    upon failure of anyone to appear to prove ownership to the money or
    legal tender, the court shall order the same to be deposited in the
    general fund. The notice may be combined with a notice to sell
    personal property as provided for in subsection (B) of this section.
    If no one appears to claim and prove ownership to the money or legal
    tender at the hearing, the court shall order the same to be
    transferred to the general fund as provided in this subsection.
7.  The provisions of this section shall not apply to any dangerous or
    deadly weapons, narcotic or poisonous drugs, explosives, or any
    property of any kind or character, which the possession of is
    prohibited by law, nor to any property for which a specific
    procedure is otherwise established by law, ordinance or proper
    order. By order of the trial court, any such property filed as an
    exhibit or held by the city shall be destroyed or sold or disposed
    of, pursuant to the conditions prescribed in such order.
8.  Property authorized to be destroyed herein or by state or other law,
    or which cannot be sold or used by the city, shall be destroyed on
    order of the police chief. The destruction of personal property must
    be witnessed by at least three members of the police department who
    must sign a certificate of destruction listing all property
    destroyed, a general description of same, and the date, time, place
    and manner of such destruction.

*Nuisance* means unlawfully doing an act, or omitting to perform a duty,
or is any thing or condition which either:

1.  Annoys, injures or endangers the comfort, repose, health or safety
    of others;
2.  Offends decency;
3.  Unlawfully interferes with, obstructs or tends to obstruct or render

    or
4.  In any way renders other persons insecure in life or in the use of
    property.

*Private nuisance* means every nuisance not included the definition of
the term \"public nuisance\" as provided in this section.

*Public nuisance* means a nuisance which affects at the same time an
entire community or neighborhood, or any considerable number of persons,
or three or more properties under separate ownership in the vicinity of
such nuisance, although the extent of the annoyance or damage inflicted
upon the individuals may be unequal.

1.  The following words, terms and phrases, when used in this section,
    shall have the meanings ascribed to them in this subsection, except
    where the context clearly indicates a different meaning:\
    \
    *Agricultural* *activities* includes, but is not limited to, the
    growing or raising of horticultural and viticultural crops, berries,
    poultry, livestock, aquaculture, grain, mint, hay, dairy products
    and forestry activities. The term \"agricultural activities\" also
    includes improvements or expansion to the activities provided for in
    this definition, including, but not limited to, new technology,
    pens, barns, fences, and other improvements designed for the
    sheltering, restriction, or feeding of animal or aquatic life, for
    storage of produce or feed, or for storage or maintenance of
    implements. If the expansion is part of the same operating facility,
    the expansion need not be contiguous.\
    *Farmland* includes, but is not limited to, land devoted primarily
    to production of livestock or agricultural commodities.\
    *Forestry* *activity* means any activity associated with the
    reforesting, growing, managing, protecting and harvesting of timber,
    wood and forest products, including, but not limited to, forestry
    buildings and structures.
2.  Agricultural activities conducted on farm or ranch land, if
    consistent with good agricultural practices and established prior to
    nearby nonagricultural activities, are presumed to be reasonable and
    do not constitute a nuisance unless the activity has a substantial
    adverse effect on the public health and safety. If that agricultural
    activity is undertaken in conformity with federal, state and local
    laws and regulations, it is presumed to be good agricultural
    practice and not adversely affecting the public health and safety.
3.  No action for nuisance shall be brought against agricultural
    activities on farm or ranch land which has lawfully been in
    operation for two years or more prior to the date of bringing the
    action. The established date of operation is the date on which an
    agricultural activity on farm or ranch land commenced. The
    established date of operation for each change is not a separately
    and independently established date of operation and commencement of
    the expanded activity does not divest the farm or ranch of a
    previously established date of operation if:
    1.  The physical facilities of the farm or ranch are subsequently
        expanded or new technology adopted;
    2.  The farming or ranching is interrupted for no more than three
        years; or
    3.  The farm or ranch participates in a government-sponsored
        agricultural program.
4.  In any action for nuisance in which agricultural activities are
    alleged to be a nuisance, and which action is found to be frivolous
    or malicious by the court, the defendant shall recover the aggregate
    amount of costs and expenses determined by the court to have been
    reasonably incurred in connection with defending the action,

1.  Some nuisances are of such nature as to constitute a grave and
    immediate danger to the peace, health, safety, morals or welfare of
    one or more persons or of the public generally. It is recognized
    that circumstances may be such as to justify, and even to require,
    the city manager or other appropriate officer or agency of the city
    government to take immediate and proper action summarily to abate
    such nuisances or to reduce or suspend the danger until more
    deliberate action can be taken toward such abatement.
2.  An officer subordinate to the city manager may submit to the city
    manager a statement as to the existence of a nuisance as defined by
    the ordinances of the city or law, and a request or recommendation
    that it be abated.
3.  The city manager or his designee shall determine if a nuisance
    exists as defined by the ordinances of the city or law. If he finds
    that a nuisance does in fact exist, he shall direct the owner or
    other persons responsible for or causing the nuisance by:
    1.  Certified mail;
    2.  Publication if the owner cannot be so served or found;\
        to abate the nuisance within a specified time if the peace,
        health, safety, morals or welfare of the persons or public
        adversely affected would not be unduly jeopardized by the
        consequent delay. If such peace, health, safety, morals or
        welfare would be unduly jeopardized by the consequent delay, or
        if the owner or other persons responsible for or causing the
        nuisance do not abate it within the specified time, or if the
        persons responsible authorize the city to abate the nuisance,
        the manager shall direct the appropriate officer to abate the
        nuisance or have it abated, if summary abatement is practical,
        as authorized by 50 O.S. § 16. The city shall send a statement
        of the cost of such summary abatement to the owner or other
        persons responsible for or causing the nuisance, as may be just
        under the circumstances, if their names and addresses are known.
        Until paid, such cost shall constitute a debt to the city
        collectible as other debts may be collected.
4.  The determination of the existence of a nuisance and order to abate
    it, as made by the city manager, may be appealed by the occupant or
    owner or person causing the nuisance by filing a request for hearing
    in writing with the city clerk within the period of time specified
    in the notice for abatement of the nuisance. The clerk shall cause
    the matter to be placed on the agenda of the city council for final
    determination with appropriate notice of the hearing provided to the
    person requesting the appeal.

</div>

1.  *Definition.* A waste stabilization lagoon is a structure
    specifically designed to treat liquid organic wastes by biological,
    chemical and physical processes commonly referred to as natural
    self-purification. It is normally a relatively shallow, diked
    structure and may receive either raw or pretreated wastes. The
    satisfactory operation of the process depends upon the growth of
    algae and like organisms for the production of oxygen through
    photosynthesis; therefore, conditions must be maintained which are
    conducive to the growth of algae, such as proper water depth,
    sufficient dissolved oxygen, and maximum penetration of sunlight.
2.  *Construction.*
    1.  No waste stabilization lagoons shall be installed or constructed
        within the limits of the city until and unless the city council
        has approved the proposal for such construction and
        installation. The review herein contemplated to be made by the
        council shall consist of, but not necessarily limited to, the
        following matters:
        1.  The location of the lagoon site;
        2.  Its proximity to residential areas;
        3.  A consideration of the effect on the surrounding area if the
            lagoon breaks or its proper operation is interrupted for any
            cause;
        4.  The effect of such lagoon on surrounding property values;
        5.  If the lagoon is not a full retention lagoon, the direction
            of flow and ultimate disposition of the effluent from
            overflow.
    2.  If city council approves a proposed waste stabilization lagoon,
        construction and installation shall comply with the state
        department of environmental quality regulations.

    publication of the notice required in this section, the owner or
    occupant may request, in writing addressed to the administrative
    officer, a hearing for the purpose of contesting the determination
    that a nuisance exists on the property. The administrative officer
    shall conduct a hearing as soon as practicable but not earlier than

    not later than 15 days after such receipt. At such hearing such
    owner shall have the right to be represented by counsel, to present
    testimony, other evidence and arguments, and to cross examine
    witnesses. All testimony shall be taken under oath. If the director,
    after such hearing, shall determine that any weeds or trash
    constitute a nuisance which is immediately detrimental to the health
    or a fire or traffic hazard on such property, and shall determine
    that the persons requesting such hearing are owners of the property
    upon which such nuisance is located, he shall file in writing his
    findings of fact and his order that such nuisance be abated within
    ten days, and shall cause such findings and order to be served upon

    of the time and date when the matter will be heard. Upon the filing
    of the notice of appeal, the director shall forthwith transmit to
    the court clerk all records and orders pertaining thereto.

    to abate the dead or diseased tree. Such consent shall waive the
    right of the owner or occupant to a hearing under subsection (D) of
    this section.

    mortgagee. At the time of mailing of notice to any property owners
    or mortgage holders, the city shall obtain a receipt of mailing from
    the postal service, which receipt shall indicate the date of mailing
    and the name and address of the mailee. However, if neither the
    property owner nor mortgage holder can be located, notice may be
    given by posting a copy of the notice on the property, or by
    publication, as defined by 11 O.S. § 1-102. Such notice may be
    published once not less than ten days prior to any hearing or action
    to be taken pursuant to this section;
2.  A hearing shall be held by the administrative officer to determine
    whether the property is dilapidated and has thereby become

    property constitutes a detriment or a hazard, and that the property
    would be benefited by the removal of such conditions, the
    administrative officer may cause the dilapidated building to be torn
    down and removed, and shall fix reasonable dates for the
    commencement and completion of the work. The city clerk shall
    immediately file a notice of lien with the county clerk describing
    the property, the findings of the administrative officer at the
    hearing, and stating that the city claims a lien on the property for
    the destruction and removal costs and that such costs are the
    personal obligation of the property owner from and after the date of
    filing of the notice;
4.  The property owner shall have a right of appeal to the city council
    from an order of the administrative officer, and as provided by law.
    The appeal shall be filed in writing with the city clerk within ten

    If the city dismantles or removes any dilapidated buildings, the
    cost to the property owner shall not exceed the actual cost of the
    labor, maintenance, and equipment required for the dismantling and
    removal of the dilapidated buildings. If dismantling and removal of
    the dilapidated buildings is done on a private contract basis, the
    contract shall be awarded to the lowest and best bidder if required
    to be competitively bid;
7.  If payment is not made within six months from the date of the
    mailing of the statement, the city clerk shall forward a certified
    statement of the amount of the cost to the county treasurer of the

After a building has been declared dilapidated as provided in this
chapter, and before the commencement of the tearing and removal of a
dilapidated building, the city may cause the building to be boarded and
secured in accordance with the following procedure. The city may
determine that a building is unsecured and order that such building be
boarded and secured in the manner provided for in this section even
though such building has not been declared by city to be dilapidated.

1.  Before the city orders such action, at least ten days\' notice that
    such unsecured building is to be boarded and secured shall be given
    by mail to any property owners and mortgage holders as provided in
    section 8-303. At the time of mailing of notice to any property
    owners or mortgage holders, the city clerk shall obtain a receipt of
    mailing from the postal service, which receipt shall indicate the
    date of the mailing and the name and address of the mailee. A copy
    of the notice shall also be posted on the property to be affected.
    However, if neither the property owner nor mortgage holder can be
    located, notice may be given by posting a copy of the notice on the
    property or by publication as defined in 11 O.S. § 1-102. Such
    notice shall be published one time, not less than ten days prior to
    any hearing or action by the city pursuant to the provisions of this
    section. If the administrative officer anticipates summary abatement
    of a nuisance in accordance with the provisions of this section, the
    notice shall state that: any subsequent need for boarding and
    securing the building within a six-month period after the initial
    boarding and securing of the building pursuant to such notice may be
    summarily boarded and secured by the city, that the costs of such
    boarding and securing shall be assessed against the owner, and that
    a lien may be imposed on the property to secure such payment, all
    without further prior notice to the property owners or mortgage
    holders;
2.  The owner of the property may give his written consent to the city
    authorizing the boarding and securing of such unsecured building and
    to the payment of any costs incurred thereby. By giving the written
    consent, the owner waives his right to a hearing as provided in this
    section;
3.  If the property owner does not give his written consent to such
    actions, a hearing may be held by the administrative officer to
    determine whether the boarding and securing would promote and
    benefit the public health, safety or welfare. Such hearing may be
    held in conjunction with a hearing on the accumulation of trash or
    the growth of weeds or grass on the premises of such unsecured
    building held pursuant to this Code. In making such determination,
    the administrative officer shall apply the following standard: the
    administrative officer may order the boarding and securing of the
    unsecured building when the boarding and securing thereof would make
    such building less available for transient occupation, decrease a
    fire hazard created by such building, or decrease the hazard that
    such building would constitute an attractive nuisance to children.
    Upon making such a determination, the administrative officer may
    order the boarding and securing of the unsecured building;
4.  After the administrative officer orders the boarding and securing of
    such unsecured building, the city clerk shall immediately file a
    notice of unsecured building and lien with the county clerk
    describing the property, stating the findings of the city at the
    hearing at which the building was determined to be unsecured, and
    stating that the city claims a lien on the property for the costs of
    boarding and securing the building and that such costs are the
    personal obligation of the property owner from and after the date of
    filing the notice;
5.  Pursuant to the order of the administrative officer, the agents of
    the city are granted the right of entry on the property for the
    performance of the boarding and securing of such building and for
    the performance of all necessary duties as a governmental function
    of the city;
6.  After an unsecured building has been boarded and secured, the
    administrative officer shall determine the actual costs of such
    actions and any other expenses that may be necessary in conjunction
    therewith, including the cost of the notice and mailing. The city
    clerk shall forward a statement of the actual costs attributable to
    the boarding and securing of the unsecured building and a demand for
    payment of such costs by mail to any property owners and mortgage
    holders as provided in section 8-303. At the time of mailing of the
    statement of costs to any property owners or mortgage holders, the
    city clerk shall obtain a receipt of mailing from the postal
    service, which receipt shall indicate the date of mailing and the
    name and address of the mailee;
7.  If the city boards and secures any unsecured building, the cost to
    the property owner shall not exceed the actual cost of the labor,
    materials and equipment required for the performance of such
    actions. If such actions are done on a private contract basis, the
    contract shall be awarded to the lowest and best bidder;
8.  When payment is made to the city for costs incurred, the city clerk
    shall file a release of lien, but if payment attributable to the
    actual costs of the boarding and securing of the unsecured building
    is not made within 30 days from the date of the mailing of the
    statement to the owner of the property, the city clerk shall forward
    a certified statement of the amount of the costs to the county
    treasurer of the county in which the property is located. The costs
    shall be levied on the property and collected by the county
    treasurer as are other taxes authorized by law. Until fully paid,
    the costs and the interest thereon shall be the personal obligation
    of the property owner from and after the date the notice of
    unsecured building and lien is filed with the county clerk. The lien
    shall be coequal with the lien of ad valorem taxes and all other
    taxes and special assessments and shall be prior and superior to all
    other titles and liens against the property, and shall continue
    until the costs and interest are fully paid. At any time prior to
    collection as provided herein, the city may pursue any civil remedy
    for collection of the amount owing and interest thereon, including
    an action in personam against the property owner and an action in
    rem to foreclose its lien against the property. A mineral interest
    if severed from the surface owner shall not be subject to any tax or
    judgment lien created pursuant to this section. Upon receipt of
    payment in full, the city clerk shall forward to the county
    treasurer a notice of such payment and direct discharge of the lien;
9.  An appeal may be taken from the decision of the administrative
    officer to the city council if filed in writing with the city clerk
    within ten days after the administrative order is rendered;
10. If the city causes a structure to be boarded and secured, in
    accordance with the procedures provided for in this section, any
    subsequent need for boarding and securing the property within a
    six-month period may be declared a nuisance and may be summarily
    abated without prior notice to the property owner. At the time of
    such summary abatement, the city clerk shall notify the property
    owner of the boarding and securing and of the costs thereof. The
    notice shall state that the property owner may request a hearing
    within ten days from the date of mailing the notice. The notice and
    hearing shall be as provided in this section. Unless otherwise
    determined at the hearing, the cost of such abatement shall be
    determined and collected as provided in this section. This section
    shall not apply if the records of the county clerk show that the
    property was transferred after notice was given pursuant to this
    section.

1.  Except as specifically provided in this section, no person shall

    licensed pursuant to the Nursing Home Care Act (63 O.S. § 1-1901 et
    seq.) may designate smoking rooms for residents and their guests.
    Such rooms shall be fully enclosed, directly exhausted to the
    outside, and shall be under negative air pressure so that no smoke
    can escape when a door is opened and no air is recirculated to
    nonsmoking areas of the building. Commercial airport operators may
    prohibit the use of lighted tobacco in any area that is open to or
    used by the public whether located indoors or outdoors, provided
    that the outdoor area is within 175 feet from an entrance. 

2.  1.  Except as otherwise provided in subsection (B)(2) of this
        section, a technology center school district which offers an
        early childhood education program or in which children in grades
        kindergarten through 12 are educated shall prohibit smoking, the
        use of snuff, chewing tobacco or any other form of tobacco
        product in the educational facility buildings and on the grounds
        of the facility by all persons, including, but not limited to,
        full-time, part-time, and contract employees, during the hours
        of 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., during the school session, or when
        class or any program established for students is in session.
    2.  A technology center school district may designate smoking areas
        outside of buildings, away from general traffic areas and
        completely out of sight of children under 18 years of age, for
        use by adults attending training courses, sessions, meetings or
        seminars.
    3.  A technology center school district or college or university may
        designate smoking areas outside the educational facility
        buildings for the use of adults during certain activities or
        functions, including, but not limited to, athletic contests.
    4.  Smoking shall be prohibited in an educational facility as
        defined in the 24/7 Tobacco-free Schools Act (70 O.S. § 1210.211

3.  Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit educational
    facilities from having more restrictive policies regarding smoking
    and the use of other tobacco or vapor products in the buildings or
    on the grounds of the facility.

4.  A private residence is not a public place within the meaning of this
    section except that areas in a private residence that are used as a
    licensed child care facility during hours of operation are public
    places within the meaning of this section.

6.  Veterans centers operated by the state pursuant to the provisions of
    72 O.S. § 221 et seq., shall be designated nonsmoking.

7.  An employer not otherwise restricted from doing so may elect to
    provide smoking rooms where no work is performed except for cleaning
    and maintenance during the time the room is not in use for smoking,
    provided each smoking room is fully enclosed and exhausted directly
    to the outside, in such manner that no smoke can drift or circulate
    into a nonsmoking area. No exhaust from a smoking room shall be
    located within 15 feet of any entrance, exit or air intake. If
    smoking is to be permitted in any space exempted in subsection (H)
    of this section or in a smoking room, such smoking space must either
    occupy the entire enclosed indoor space or, if it shares the
    enclosed space with any nonsmoking areas, the smoking space shall be
    fully enclosed, exhausted directly to the outside with no air from
    the smoking space circulated to any nonsmoking area, and under
    negative air pressure so that no smoke can drift or circulate into a
    nonsmoking area when a door to an adjacent nonsmoking area is
    opened. Air from a smoking room shall not be exhausted within 15
    feet of any entrance, exit or air intake.

    5.  Workplaces where only the owner or operator of the workplace, or
        the immediate family of the owner or operator, performs any work
        in the workplace, and the workplace has only incidental public
        access;
    6.  Workplaces occupied exclusively by one or more smokers, if the
        workplace has only incidental public access. The term
        \"incidental public access\" means that a place of business has
        only an occasional person, who is not an employee, present at
        the business to transact business or make a delivery. The term
        \"incidental public access\" does not include businesses that
        depend on walk-in customers for any part of their business;
    7.  Private offices occupied exclusively by one or more smokers;
    8.  Workplaces within private residences, except that smoking shall
        not be allowed inside any private residence that is used as a
        licensed child care facility during hours of operation;

        members of the Armed Forces of the United States which is exempt
        from taxation pursuant to section 501(c)(8), (c)(10) or (c)(19)
        of the Internal Revenue Code, 26 USC 501(c)(8), (c)(10) or

        organization nonprofit operations except during an event or
        activity which is open to the public;
    10. Any outdoor seating area of a restaurant, provided smoking shall
        not be allowed within 15 feet of any exterior public doorway or
        any air intake of a restaurant; and
    11. Medical research or treatment centers, if smoking is integral to
        the research or treatment.

    chapter, the proposed activity will be allowed as legal
    non-conforming for purposes of the state-required certificate of

    otherwise lawful, subject to the following provisions:
    1.  No such legal nonconforming use shall be moved in whole or in
        part to any other portion of the lot or parcel occupied after
        January 1, 2020.
    2.  No such legal nonconforming use shall be enlarged or increased
        or extended to occupy a greater area of land than was occupied
        as of January 1, 2020.
    3.  If the legal nonconforming use ceases for any reason for a
        period of more than 30 days, any subsequent use of land shall
        conform to the zoning regulations contained in this section.

    in 59 O.S. § 1525(C). During this period, the appearance of such
    articles shall not be altered in any way. A dealer is not prohibited
    from selling or arranging to sell such articles during the ten-day
    period as long as such articles remain in his possession as required
    by this subsection.
2.  Whenever a police officer has probable cause to believe that
    property in possession of a licensed dealer is stolen or embezzled,
    the police officer may place a written hold order on the property.
    The initial term of the written hold order shall not exceed 30 days.
    However, the holding period may be extended in successive 30-day
    increments upon written notification prior to the expiration of the
    initial holding period. If the holding period has expired and has
    not been extended, the hold order shall be considered expired and no
    longer in effect, and title shall vest in the dealer subject to any
    restrictions contained in a sale contract. The initial written hold
    order shall contain the following information:

    5.  Name of agency reporting the property stolen or embezzled;
    6.  Mailing address of the dealer where the property is held;
    7.  Expiration date of the holding period.
3.  While a hold order is in effect, the dealer may consent to release,
    upon written receipt, the stolen or embezzled property to the
    custody of the police department. The consent to release the stolen
    or embezzled property to the custody of law enforcement is not a
    waiver or release of the dealer\'s property rights or interest in
    the property. Otherwise, the dealer shall not release or dispose of
    the property except pursuant to a court order or the expiration of
    the holding period, including all extensions. The district
    attorney\'s office shall notify the dealer in writing in cases where
    criminal charges have been filed that the property may be needed as
    evidence. The notice shall contain the case number, the style of the
    case and a description of the property. The dealer shall hold such
    property until receiving notice of the disposition of the case from
    the district attorney\'s office. The district attorney\'s office
    shall notify the dealer in writing within 15 days of the disposition
    of the case. Willful noncompliance of a dealer to a written hold
    order shall be cause for the dealer\'s license to either be
    suspended or revoked. A hold order may be released prior to the
    expiration of any 30-day holding period by written release from the
    agency placing the initial hold order.

    activities defined as home occupations.
2.  Establish measurable and comprehensive criteria and standards for
    the use of residential structures for home occupations.
3.  Protect the public interest by enabling certain business activities
    to be conducted from within residential properties subject to
    limitations that will protect residential neighborhoods from the
    potential impacts of such business activities.

2.  No person shall stop, stand, park, leave, or place any motor
    vehicle, whether occupied or not, upon any public or private

    notice. In addition to fine or other punishment for a violation of
    this subsection, the vehicle so parked, left or placed shall be
    subject to impoundment upon complaint of the property owner or
    lawful occupant. The person violating this subsection shall be
    wholly responsible for payment of towage and storage charges.
3.  No person may be charged under this section unless the premises in

    substantially, that the premises are posted, and that any person
    congregating, occupying or remaining upon the premises or parking or
    leaving a motor vehicle thereon is subject to prosecution pursuant
    to this Code.
4.  When used in this section, the term \"after business hours\" shall
    mean that the doors of the business which are open to the public
    during business hours are closed and locked and that the business is

    temporarily closed or otherwise unoccupied. The term \"place of
    business\" means any private property upon which a building, house
    or other structure is used for commercial or public purposes (e.g.,
    without limitation, restaurants, gas stations, shopping malls or
    centers, theaters, convenience stores, grocery stores, drug stores

    activities, offices, banks or other financial institutions,
    manufacturing, and professional services (medical, legal,
    accounting, insurance, consulting)).
5.  There is a rebuttable presumption that any person or motor vehicle
    upon the premises of a place of business that is properly posted
    pursuant to this section after such time as the front door or other
    such door that admits members of the public is closed and locked is
    on the premises of such business unlawfully under this section;
    however, this presumption shall not be applied within 30 minutes of
    any opening or closing times posted by such place of business. This
    presumption may only be rebutted by proof beyond a reasonable doubt
    that any person held by the municipal judge to be subject to this
    rebuttable presumption was on the premises in question with
    permission of the lawful owner, occupant, lessee or employee
    thereof.
6.  If a motor vehicle is alleged to be unlawfully parked or left under
    this section, it shall be rebuttably presumed that the person in
    whose name the motor vehicle was last registered was the person who
    parked or left the motor vehicle.
7.  The parking or leaving of a motor vehicle as set forth herein shall
    constitute the offense of unlawful parking or leaving a motor
    vehicle after business hours, punishable as provided in section
    1-108.
8.  If a person violates subsection (A) of this section, it shall
    constitute the offense of unlawful presence on property after
    business hours or congregating after business hours and is
    punishable as provided in section 1-108.
9.  The provisions of this section are cumulative of other applicable
    offenses enacted in this Code or state law.

style="margin-bottom:15px; color:#000;" target="_blank"}
:::

</div>

1.  As used in this section, the term \"parade\" means any parade,
    march, ceremony, show, demonstration, exhibition, pageant or
    procession of any kind, or any similar display, in or upon any
    street, park or other public place in the city.
2.  No person shall use any street, alley, public way, park or other
    property owned or controlled by the city, except those places
    specifically designed and intended for such use, for the purpose of
    holding, conducting, causing or participating in any parade, street
    fair, street dance, carnival, assemblage or activity of any nature
    which may cause the disturbance or interference of the normal and
    ordinary use of the property by other persons, without first having
    obtained a permit for such purpose. The permits may be granted by
    the city manager under such conditions as deemed appropriate.
3.  Permits shall not be required under this section in the case of
    construction or repairs to or within any such street or property,
    provided all other requirements of this Code are complied with.
4.  Not less than two weeks prior to the closing or use of a street or
    property for a parade, an application shall be submitted by the
    party to the city. The time requirements may be waived by the city
    manager at his discretion if sufficient time exists for the proper
    review of the application as herein provided. The application shall
    be submitted upon a form prescribed by the city. The application
    shall provide such other information as requested.
5.  The city manager shall issue a permit as provided for hereunder
    when, from a consideration of the application and from such other
    information as may otherwise be obtained, he finds that:
    1.  The conduct of the parade will not substantially interrupt the
        safe and orderly movement of other traffic contiguous to its
        route;
    2.  The conduct of the parade will not require the diversion of so
        great a number of police officers of the city to properly police
        the line of movement and the areas contiguous thereto as to
        prevent normal police protection to the city;
    3.  The conduct of such parade will not require the diversion of so
        great a number of ambulances as to prevent normal ambulance
        service to portions of the city other than that to be occupied
        by the proposed line of march and areas contiguous thereto;
    4.  The concentration of persons, animals and vehicles at assembly
        points of the parade will not unduly interfere with proper fire
        and police protection of, or ambulance service to, areas
        contiguous to such assembly areas;
    5.  The conduct of such parade will not interfere with the movement
        of firefighting equipment en route to a fire;
    6.  The conduct of the parade is not reasonably likely to cause
        injury to persons or property, to provoke disorderly conduct or
        create a disturbance; and
    7.  The parade is scheduled to move from its point of origin to its
        point of termination expeditiously and without unreasonable
        delays en route.
6.  The city manager, in such cases as shall be determined in his
    discretion, may require as a condition to the issuance of a permit
    herein such insurance or bond holding the city harmless from any and
    all liability for injury or damage of any kind whatsoever occurring
    during such activity covered by the permit.
7.  Without regard to the above provision of this section, the city
    manager, from his consideration of available, appropriate and
    necessary information, shall deny the application for a permit
    provided for by this section when, from this information, he has
    reason to believe that any contemplated advocacy at the proposed
    event will be directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless
    action and will likely incite or produce such action.
8.  The city manager, in denying an application for a parade permit, may
    authorize the conduct of the parade on a date, at a time or over a
    route different from that named by the applicant. An applicant
    desiring to accept an alternate permit shall so indicate within five
    days after notice of the action of the city manager. An alternate
    parade permit shall conform to the requirements of, and shall have
    the effect of, a parade permit under this section.
9.  As used in this section, the term \"special event\' means any
    activity which occurs upon private or public property that (1) may
    reasonably affect the ordinary use of public streets, rights-of-way
    or sidewalks, or (2) include the erection of any temporary structure
    (inflatables/bouncy toys, or tents or canopies larger than 400
    square feet, etc.) where the public is invited, or (3) include the
    sale or consumption of alcoholic beverages on a premises not
    currently licensed by the state for the sale or consumption of
    alcohol on the premises where the public is invited. This includes,
    but is not limited to, fairs, festivals, foot races, bike races,
    block parties, grand opening celebrations, and other temporary
    assemblages of people. The term \"expressive special event\" means a
    special event as defined above, organized or conducted solely or
    primarily for the purpose of engaging in speech protected by the
    First Amendment of the United States Constitution. The term
    \"spontaneous expressive event\" shall mean an expressive special
    event that is occasioned by news, affairs, or circumstances coming
    into public knowledge less than five days prior to the date of such
    event.
    1.  No person, organization, business or corporation shall conduct
        any type of special event as defined above without a special
        event permit from the city.
    2.  An application for a special event shall be submitted to the
        city no later than 30 days prior to the proposed event. In the
        event of an expressive special event, the application must be
        submitted within five business days prior to the proposed event.
        In the event of a spontaneous expressive event, the event must
        not present a substantial safety or traffic hazard and must not
        unduly impede, obstruct, impair or interfere with the public\'s
        use of the street or other public property, the operation of
        emergency vehicles, the provision of the city services, or any
        lawful competing use of the location where the event is located.
        If any portion of the preceding cannot be met, then the event
        organizer must make a diligent and good faith effort to relocate
        the event to another location. If the location cannot be
        relocated due to the special communicative value of the event\'s
        location or the unavailability of another location, then the
        chief of police shall take appropriate action to the extent
        reasonably necessary to eliminate the hazard, risk,
        interference, or impairment; provided however, that the chief of
        police shall not order the area cleared or the cessation of
        spontaneous expressive activities unless reasonably necessary to
        avoid imminent danger to person or property. Applicants may file
        application as early as desired by the applicant.
    3.  Reasons for denial of a special events permit include, but are
        not limited to, the event will disrupt traffic within the city
        beyond practical solution; will interfere with access to fire
        stations and the fire hydrants; the location of the special
        event will cause undue hardship to adjacent businesses or
        residents; the event would require the diversion of so many
        city, public safety and/or and public works employees that
        allowing the event would unreasonably deny service to the
        remainder of the city; and the application contains incomplete
        or false information.
    4.  This section shall not be construed as imposing upon the city or
        its officials or employees any liability or responsibility for
        any injury or damages to any person in any way connected to the
        use for which permits have been issued. The city and its
        officials and employees shall not be deemed to have assumed any
        liability or responsibility by reasons of inspections performed,
        the issuance of any permit or the approval of any use of the
        right-of-way.
    5.  A special event permit may be issued only after adequate waste
        disposal facilities and toilet facilities as necessary have been
        identified and obtained by the permittee. The permittee will
        clean their property, city property and any adjacent properties
        of trash, rubbish, or debris generated by the special event,
        returning it to its pre-event condition within 24 hours of the
        conclusion of the event. If the permittee fails to clean up such
        refuse, such clean up shall be as required by law or other
        sections of this Code and the costs charged to the permittee.
    6.  The permittee shall obtain other permits that may be required
        from other jurisdictions for this special event.

It is found and declared that:

1.  The making and creation of excessive, unnecessary noise within the
    city is a condition which has existed for some time and the extent
    and volume of such noise is increasing;

        owner, or of anyone in control of the object, as to a direct

1.  The following words, terms and phrases, when used in this section,
    shall have the meanings ascribed to them in this subsection, except
    where the context clearly indicates a different meaning:\
    *\
    Minor* means any person under the age of 18.\
    *\
    Parent* means any person having legal custody of a minor as a:
    1.  Natural or adoptive parent;
    2.  Legal guardian;

    4.  Person to whom legal custody has been given by order of the
        court.

    *Public place* means any street, alley, highway, sidewalk, park,
    playground or place to which the general public has access and a

    store, shop, restaurant, tavern, bowling alley, cafe, theater, drug
    store, pool room, shopping center and any other place devoted to
    amusement or entertainment of the general public. It shall also
    include the front or immediate area of the above.\
    *\
    Remain* means to stay behind, to tarry and to stay unnecessarily
    upon the streets, including the congregating of groups (or of
    interacting minors) totaling four or more persons in which any minor
    involved would not be using the streets for ordinary or serious
    purposes such as mere passage or going home.\
    *\
    Street* means a way or place, of whatsoever nature, open to the use
    of the public as a matter of right for purposes of vehicular travel
    or in the case of a sidewalk thereof for pedestrian travel. The term

    *\

    standard of time, whether Central Standard Time or Central Daylight
    Saving Time, generally observed at that hour by the public.\
    *\
    Year of age* continues from one birthday, such as the 17th to (but
    not including the day of) the next, such as the 18th birthday,
    making it clear that 17 or less years of age is herein treated as

2.  It shall be unlawful for any person 17 or less years of age
    (under 18) to be or remain in or upon the streets or public places
    within the city at night during the period ending 5:00 a.m. and
    beginning:
    1.  At 11:00 p.m. for minors on Sunday through Thursday; and
    2.  At 1:00 a.m. on Saturday morning and Sunday morning for minors.
3.  In the following exceptional cases, a minor on a city street or in a
    public place during the nocturnal hours for which this section is
    intended to provide the maximum limits of regulation does not
    constitute a violation of the curfew regulations:
    1.  When accompanied by a parent of such minor;
    2.  When accompanied by an adult authorized by a parent of such
        minor to take the parent\'s place accompanying the minor for a
        designated period of time, date and purpose within a specified
        area. The authorized adult shall possess a written communication
        signed by the minor and countersigned by the parent/legal
        guardian of such minor which includes their home address and
        telephone number. The authorized adult shall have this
        communication from the minor\'s parent/guardian in his
        possession;
    3.  When exercising First Amendment rights protected by the United
        States Constitution, such as the free exercise of religion,
        freedom of speech and the right of assembly. Such minor shall
        evidence the bona fides of such exercise by possessing a written
        communication, signed by such minor and countersigned by a
        parent or legal guardian of such minor with their home address
        and telephone number, specifying times and dates when, and
        where, and in what manner the minor will be on the streets and
        other public places at night (during hours when the curfew
        regulations are otherwise applicable to the minor) in the
        exercise of a First Amendment right specified in such
        communication;
    4.  The minor is on an errand, specific business or activity of an
        emergency nature directed or permitted by his parent;
    5.  If the minor has in the minor\'s possession a written
        communication signed by the minor and countersigned by a parent
        or legal guardian of such minor evidencing their home address
        and telephone number, and establishing such reason relating to a
        direct route for a designated time for a described purpose
        including points of origin and destination. Each communication
        will also note the date and time limits the reason will
        encompass;
    6.  When the minor is on the sidewalk of the place where such minor
        resides, or on the sidewalk of either next-door neighbor not
        communicating an objection to the police officer;
    7.  When returning home, by a direct route, from (and within 45
        minutes of the termination of) a school activity, or an activity
        of a religious or the voluntary association, provided the minor
        has a written communication in the minor\'s possession,
        countersigned by the parent or legal guardian indicating the
        home address and telephone number, the purpose for the event,
        and when, where and in what manner the minor will be on the
        streets at night;
    8.  Upon being petitioned, the city council may authorize by
        regulation a relaxation of the curfew in other matters of
        reasonable necessity and is determined to be consistent with the
        public interest and the purposes of these curfew regulations.
        Normally, such regulation by the city council permitting use of
        the streets or public places should be issued sufficiently in
        advance to permit appropriate notification of agencies, such as
        the schools, and the media when appropriate. The regulation
        shall define the activity, the scope of the use of the streets
        or public places permitted, and the period of time involved, not
        to extend more than 45 minutes beyond the time for termination
        of such activity;
    9.  When the minor is within the scope of his employment and carries
        a certified card or some other form indicating employment,
        briefly identifying the minor, the addresses and telephone
        numbers of his home and his place of employment and his hours of
        employment or carries a valid proof of employment; or
    10. Whenever the minor is engaged in interstate or intrastate
        vehicular travel with consent of his parent or legal guardian.
        This contemplates normal travel and clearly exempts bona fide
        interstate movement through the city, particularly on normal
        routes.
4.  It shall be unlawful for a parent, or other person, having legal
    custody of a minor knowingly to permit, or by inefficient control to
    allow, such a minor to be or remain upon any city street or public
    place under circumstances not constituting an exception to, or
    otherwise beyond the scope of, the curfew regulations. The term
    \"knowingly\" includes knowledge which a parent, or legal guardian,
    should reasonably be expected to have concerning the whereabouts of
    a minor in that parent\'s or person\'s legal custody. It is intended
    to continue to keep neglectful or careless parents or legal
    guardians up to a reasonable community standard of parental
    responsibility through an objective test. It shall be no defense
    that a parent was completely indifferent to the activities or
    conduct or whereabouts of such minor.
5.  A police officer of the city, upon finding or having attention
    called to any minor on the streets in prima facie violation of the
    curfew regulations, normally shall take the minor to the city police
    station, or other place designated by the chief of police, where a
    parent, or legal guardian, shall immediately be notified to come for
    such minor, whereupon they may be questioned about the necessary
    facts constituting a violation of these regulations. In the absence
    of convincing evidence such as a birth certificate, a police officer
    on the street shall in the first instance use his best judgment in
    determining age. In the case of a first violation by a minor, the
    municipal court shall cause to be personally delivered or, by
    certified mail, sent to a parent, or legal guardian, written notice
    of the violation with a warning that any subsequent violation will
    result in full enforcement of the curfew regulations, including
    enforcement of parental responsibility and of applicable penalties.
6.  If, after the warning notice pursuant to subsection (E) of this
    section of a first violation by a minor, a parent or legal guardian
    violates the section (in connection with a second violation by the
    minor), this shall be treated as an offense by the parent or legal
    guardian. The penalty, upon a plea of guilty, nolo contendere, or
    finding of guilt, shall be punished as provided in section 1-108, or
    a term of community service.

            product, nicotine product or vapor product presented a
            driver\'s license or other government-issued photo
            identification purporting to establish that such individual

            provided that this defense shall not relieve from liability
            any person cited for a violation of this section if such
            person failed to exercise reasonable diligence to determine
            whether the physical description and picture appearing on
            the driver\'s license or other government-issued photo
            identification was that of the individual who presented it.
            The availability of the defense described in this

    *\
    Harmful to minors* means that quality of any description,

    1.  The average person 18 years of age or older applying

    2.  The average person 18 years of age or older applying
        contemporary community standards would find that the material or
        performance depicts or describes nudity, sexual conduct, sexual

    1.  The character and content of any material or performance which
        is reasonably susceptible of examination by the defendant; and
    2.  The age of the minor. However, a honest mistake shall constitute
        an excuse from liability pursuant to this subsection if the
        defendant made a reasonable bona fide attempt to ascertain the
        true age of such minor.

    *Material* means any book, magazine, newspaper, pamphlet, poster,
    print, picture, figure, image, description, motion picture film,

    genitals when in a state of sexual stimulation or arousal.\

    Sadomasochistic abuse* means flagellation or torture by or upon a
    person clothed or naked or the condition of being fettered, bound or
    otherwise physically restrained on the part of the one so clothed or
    naked.
2.  No person having custody, control or supervision of any commercial
    establishment shall knowingly:
    1.  Display material which is harmful to minors in such a way that
        minors, as a part of the invited general public, will be exposed

        racks\" so that the lower two-thirds of the material is not
        exposed to view;
    2.  Sell, furnish, present, distribute, allow to view, or otherwise

    this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction,
    shall be punished as set forth in section 1-108. Each day that a
    violation of subsection (B) of this section occurs or continues

    separate violation. Every act or transaction prohibited by
    subsection (B) of this section shall constitute a separate offense
    as to each item, issue or title involved and shall be punishable as
    such. For the purpose of this section, multiple copies of the same
    identical title, monthly issue, volume and number issue or other
    such identical material shall constitute a single offense.

The city declares that the city is in the early stages of a crisis,
which has been caused by violent street gangs whose members threaten,
terrorize and commit a multitude of crimes against the peaceful citizens
of this community. These criminal activities, both individually and
collectively, present a clear and present danger to public order and
safety and are not constitutionally protected activities. It is the
intent of the city council to prohibit, reduce, and eradicate criminal
activity by street gangs by focusing upon patterns of criminal activity
and upon the organized nature of street gangs, which together are the
chief source of terror created by street gangs.

    4.  Whether the mayor, the vice-mayor, a councilmember, the city
        manager or the director declares an emergency, such action shall

        restrictions of the mayor and city council as defined in the
        Charter of the city. Thereafter the mayor and city council may
        convene to perform their legislative and administrative powers,

        and disseminated by newspaper, television, radio and other
        available means of communications with the public. These
        regulations will have the force of ordinance when duly filed
        with the city clerk and violations will be subject to the
        penalties provided in this chapter.
4.  *Emergency management forces*. Whenever the city manager finds that
    any condition in the city has attained, or threatens to attain, the
    proportions of a disaster or emergency, he may assemble and utilize
    emergency management forces and may prescribe the manner and
    conditions of their use.
5.  *Mutual aid---Requesting*. When disaster or emergencies affect the
    city to the extent that conditions are beyond the control of local
    emergency management forces, the city manager may request aid from

    positions within the disaster organization, in addition to his own,
    for which lines of succession are necessary. In each instance, the
    responsible person will designate and keep on file with the
    emergency manager a current list of three persons as successors to
    their position. The list will be in order of succession and will as
    nearly as possible designate persons capable of carrying out all
    assigned duties and functions.
3.  Each service chief and department head assigned responsibility in
    the plan shall be responsible for carrying out all duties and
    functions assigned therein. Duties will include the organization and
    training of assigned city employees and volunteers. Each chief or
    department head shall formulate the standard operating procedures
    and guidelines necessary to carry out the assigned duties and
    functions.
4.  Amendments to the emergency operations plan shall be submitted to
    the city manager. If approved, the city manager will submit the
    amendments to the city council with his recommendation for their
    approval. Following city council approval, such amendments shall
    take effect 30 days from the date of approval, unless an emergency
    exists and is declared, at which time the approved amendments shall
    become effective immediately.
5.  Other plans relating to emergency and disaster mitigation,
    preparedness, response and recovery may also be adopted and
    maintained as deemed necessary.

The term \"false alarm\" means the activation of an alarm system through
mechanical failure, malfunction, the negligence of the alarm business
operator or his employees or agents, or the negligence of the owner,
user or lessee of an alarm system or his employees or agents, or which
otherwise elicits a response by a law enforcement agency or the fire
department when a situation requiring such response does not in fact
exist. The term \"false alarm\" shall also mean the activation of an
alarm, the purpose of which is to communicate or indicate a specific
emergency situation when in fact that specific emergency situation does
not exist. The term \"false alarm\" does not include, for example,
alarms activated by utility line mishaps, tornados, earthquakes, or
other violent conditions of nature, or other conditions clearly beyond
the control of the alarm manufacturer, installer, owner or user.

1.  False alarms include those caused by:
    1.  *Error* or *mistakes*. Any action by any person, firm or
        corporation, or other entity or agent thereof, owning or
        operating any dwelling, building or place, which results in the
        activation of any alarm system when no emergency exists;
    2.  *Malfunction*. Any activation of any alarm system caused by a
        flaw in the normal operation, design, installation, or
        maintenance of the system, by faulty equipment or by a change in
        the environment or premises upon or within which the alarm
        system is operating;
    3.  *Intentional misuse*. Any intentional activation of an alarm
        system when no burglary, robbery, vandalism, fire or other
        emergency is in progress.
2.  An alarm will not be considered a false alarm if it is determined
    that the alarm was caused by:
    1.  Natural or manmade catastrophe, or an act of God. Such events
        include tornadoes, floods, earthquakes or other similarly
        violent conditions;
    2.  Vandalism, causing physical damage to the premises;
    3.  Telephone line outage;
    4.  Attempted entry of a location causing visible, physical or other
        evidence of damage to the location;
    5.  Severe weather causing physical damage to the premises; or
    6.  The testing of a local/audible alarm system by a licensed alarm
        business agent or employee who is present at the premises
        servicing, repairing or installing the alarm when such testing
        does not result in the alarm being activated for an
        uninterrupted period exceeding 60 seconds.

1.  To obtain a contractor registration under this chapter, an applicant
    who is 18 years of age or older shall submit, on forms the city
    prescribes, an application for registration. A copy of the
    contractor\'s certificate of liability insurance shall be filed with
    the application and shall be not less than \$500,000.00. Any
    insurance company issuing a liability policy to a contractor
    pursuant to the provisions of this chapter shall be required to
    notify the city in the event such liability policy is cancelled for
    any reason or lapses for nonpayment of premiums. In addition, the
    contractor shall submit proof that the contractor has secured
    workers\' compensation coverage satisfactory under the Workers\'
    Compensation Act, or an affidavit of exemption or self-insurance as
    authorized pursuant to the Workers\' Compensation Act. If the city
    deems it appropriate or necessary, the city may also require other
    information to be included on the application form to assist the
    city in registering the person as a contractor. The application
    shall contain statements that the applicant desires the issuance of
    a contractor registration certificate; that the applicant will
    comply with the provisions of this chapter; that the applicant will
    comply with state laws and local ordinances relating to standards
    and permits; that the applicant has or has not been registered or
    licensed as a contractor in another state and whether any
    disciplinary action was taken against such registration or license
    or whether it is still in good standing; and that the nonresident
    applicant appoints the secretary of state as legal service agent for
    all lawful process to be served upon the applicant for work
    performed in the state or as otherwise provided in this chapter.
2.  The city shall refuse to register any person if the city determines:
    1.  The application contains false, misleading, or incomplete
        information;
    2.  The applicant fails or refuses to provide any information
        requested by the city;
    3.  The applicant fails or refuses to pay the required fees;
    4.  The applicant is ineligible for registration due to a suspended
        or revoked registration in the state;
    5.  The nonresident applicant has a revoked or suspended
        registration or license required by law for contractors in
        another state; or
    6.  The applicant has failed or refuses to submit any taxes due in
        the state.
3.  The city shall notify the applicant in writing if the city denies a
    registration or renewal certificate, and shall provide the applicant
    an opportunity to respond to or cure any defect in the written
    application or renewal for a period of ten days from the date of the
    written notification. An applicant aggrieved by a decision of the
    city denying a registration or renewal may appeal the decision to
    the city manager as provided in the Administrative Procedures Act,
    or the applicant may reapply after a 90-day waiting period, if
    otherwise eligible in the provisions of this chapter. The
    application and renewal fees shall not be refundable.
4.  The city shall classify as not in good standing the registration of
    any contractor who fails to:
    1.  Maintain liability insurance coverage;
    2.  Maintain workers\' compensation coverage satisfactory under the
        Workers\' Compensation Act, or provide an affidavit of exemption
        or self-insurance as authorized pursuant to the Workers\'
        Compensation Act;
    3.  File, renew, or properly amend any fictitious name certificate;
    4.  Maintain an active status of a corporation or registration as a
        foreign corporation, a limited liability company or registration

1.  Any contractor registration certificate issued under this chapter
    may be renewed for each successive fiscal year by obtaining from the
    city a certificate of renewal. To obtain a certificate of renewal,
    the person shall file with the city a renewal application by June 30
    and pay the renewal fee. The application for renewal shall require
    statements under oath that the applicant has properly submitted
    income and employment taxes due in the state and whether or not the
    applicant has been convicted of any felony offense, and the nature
    of such offense, since issuance of the prior registration. The
    applicant shall include with the renewal application a copy of
    certificate of liability insurance, unless the registrar has a
    current valid certificate of liability insurance on file, and proof
    of workers\' compensation coverage, unless exempt under the
    Administrative Workers\' Compensation Act (85A O.S. § 1 et seq.).
    The renewal application need not be notarized.

2.  The city shall refuse to renew a contractor\'s registration
    certificate for any reason stated in section 14-305. The city shall
    notify the applicant in writing if the city denies the renewal as
    provided in section 14-310.

3.  If any contractor fails to file a renewal application by the June 30
    deadline, that contractor\'s registration shall be not in good
    standing. A contractor has a 30-day grace period after June 30 to
    renew the registration certificate without a late fee. The late fee
    shall be set by the city in the city schedule of fees. A contractor
    registration certificate not renewed by August 30 shall be suspended
    for failure to renew, and on January 1, if a contractor\'s
    registration certificate still has not been renewed, it shall be
    revoked for failure to renew.

4.  1.  A contractor desiring to renew a registration certificate that
        has been suspended for any cause provided in this chapter shall
        be assessed a fee equal to twice the amount of the fee
        established as a renewal amount.
    2.  The city shall assess a reinstatement fee to be set by the city
        in the city schedule of fees plus the fee established by section
        14-308 for any registration that has been revoked for any cause
        provided in this chapter.
    3.  A contractor submitting an application for registration after
        suspension or revocation of that contractor\'s registration
        certificate must be otherwise eligible for registration under
        this chapter.

5.  The city shall include a registration status notation in a
    contractor\'s record if the status of registration changes from an
    active and valid registration to not in good standing, denied,
    suspended or revoked.

1.  Unless otherwise provided by law, no motor vehicle shall be operated
    within the city unless there is in effect with respect to such
    vehicle security for the payment of loss resulting from the
    liability imposed by law for bodily injury, death and property
    damage sustained by any person arising out of the ownership,
    maintenance, operation or use of the vehicle. Every person, while
    operating or using a motor vehicle within the city which is not
    owned by such person, shall maintain in force security for the
    bodily injury, death or property damage sustained by any person
    arising out of the operation or use of the vehicle, unless such
    security has been provided by the owner in accordance with this
    section which does not exclude the person from coverage. Proof of
    such security shall be carried in the vehicle at all times and shall
    be produced for inspection upon request by any law enforcement
    officer or representative of the department of public safety and, in
    case of collision, such proof shall be shown upon request of any
    person affected by the collision.
2.  The following shall not be required to carry an owner\'s or
    operator\'s security verification form or an equivalent form from
    the department of public safety during operation of the vehicle:
    1.  Any vehicle owned or leased by the federal or state government,
        or any agency or political subdivision thereof;
    2.  Any vehicle bearing the name, symbol or logo of a business,
        corporation or utility on the exterior, and which is in
        compliance with provisions of 47 O.S. §§ 7-600---7-607,
        according to the records of the state department of public
        safety which reflect a deposit, bond, self-insurance, or fleet
        policy;
    3.  Any vehicle authorized for operation pursuant to a permit number
        issued by the interstate commerce commission or the corporation

3.  The following words, terms and phrases, when used in this section,
    shall have the meanings ascribed to them in this subsection, except
    where the context clearly indicates a different meaning:\
    *\
    Compulsory Insurance Law* means the law requiring liability
    insurance in conjunction with the operation of a motor vehicle in
    the state as found in 47 O.S. § 7-606.\
    *\
    Online verification system for motor vehicle insurance* is an online
    verification system for motor vehicle liability policies as required
    by the Compulsory Insurance Law which is provided and maintained by
    the department of public safety. Any law enforcement officer, to

    traffic stop or accident investigation, shall access information
    from the online verification system to verify the current validity
    of the policy described on a security verification form produced by
    the operator of each motor vehicle during the traffic stop or
    accident investigation. If compliance is not confirmed for the
    policy described on the security verification form produced by the
    operator and a subsequent investigation conducted by the officer
    verifies that the operator is not in compliance or if no security
    verification form is produced, the officer shall issue a citation to
    the operator for failure to comply with the Compulsory Insurance
    Law. Establishing compliance with the Compulsory Insurance Law
    through the online verification system shall not be the primary
    cause for law enforcement to stop a motor vehicle.\
    *\
    Operator\'s policy* means an operator\'s policy of liability
    insurance which shall insure the named person against loss from the
    liability imposed upon him by law for damages arising out of the
    operation or use by him of any motor vehicle not owned by him,
    subject to the same limits of liability required in an owner\'s
    policy.\
    *\
    Owner\'s policy* means an owner\'s policy of liability insurance
    which:
    1.  Shall designate by explicit description or by appropriate
        reference all vehicles with respect to which coverage is thereby
        to be granted;
    2.  Shall insure the person named therein and insure any other
        person, except as provided in subsection (3) of this definition,
        using an insured vehicle with the express or implied permission
        of the named insured, against loss from the liability imposed by
        law for damages arising out of the ownership, maintenance,
        operation or use of such vehicle;
    3.  May provide for exclusions from coverage in accordance with
        existing laws; and
    4.  Shall be issued by an authorized carrier providing coverage in
        accordance with 47 O.S. § 7-204.

    *Security* means:

        or bond; or
    3.  Self-insurance, pursuant to the provisions of 47 O.S. § 7-503,
        having the equivalency of limits required under 47 O.S. § 7-204
        as acceptable limits for a policy or bond.

    *Security verification form* means a form, approved by the state
    insurance commissioner, verifying the existence of security required
    by the Compulsory Insurance Law of the state.
4.  An owner or operator who fails to produce for inspection a valid and
    current security verification form or equivalent form which has been
    issued by the department upon request of any peace officer of the
    department shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction,
    shall be subject to a fine as provided in section 1-108 and court
    costs.
5.  The nonresident owner of a motor vehicle not registered in the state
    may give proof of financial responsibility by providing proof of
    compliance with the financial responsibility laws of the state in
    which the vehicle is registered or by filing with the department of
    public safety a certificate of an insurance company authorized to
    transact insurance in the state in which the vehicle is registered,
    or if such nonresident does not own a motor vehicle, then in the
    state in which the insured resides, provided such certificate
    otherwise conforms to the provisions of this section, and the
    department of public safety shall accept the same upon condition
    that the insurance company complies with the following provisions
    with respect to the policy so certified:
    1.  The insurance company shall execute a power of attorney
        authorizing the department to accept service on its behalf or
        notice of process in any action arising out of a motor vehicle
        accident in the state; and
    2.  The insurance company shall agree in writing that such policies
        shall be deemed to conform with the laws of the state relating
        to the terms of motor vehicle liability policies issued in the
        state.

    The provisions of this section shall apply to nonresident owners and
    operators of vehicles that are not registered in the state only if
    the state in which the vehicle is registered requires compulsory
    liability insurance. In such cases, compliance with the requirements
    of the law of the state of registration shall be deemed in
    compliance with the laws of the state.
6.  A sentence imposed for any violation of this section may be
    suspended or deferred in whole or in part by the court.
7.  Any person producing proof in court that a current security
    verification form or equivalent form which has been issued by the
    department reflecting this liability coverage for such person was in
    force at the time of the alleged offense shall be entitled to
    dismissal of such charge. Any person producing proof in court that a
    current security verification form or equivalent form which has been
    issued by the department of public safety reflecting liability
    coverage for the person was in force at the time of the alleged
    offense shall be entitled to dismissal of the charge. If proof of
    security verification is presented to the court by no later than the
    business day preceding the first scheduled court appearance date,
    the dismissal shall be without payment of court costs. The court may
    access information from the online verification system to confirm
    liability coverage. The court shall not dismiss the fine unless
    proof that liability coverage for the person was in force at the
    time of the alleged offense is presented to the court.
8.  Upon conviction, bond forfeiture or deferral of sentence, the court
    clerk shall forward an abstract to the state department of public
    safety within five days reflecting the action taken by the court.

1.  Whenever any person driving a vehicle approaches a railroad grade
    crossing under any of the circumstances stated in this section, the
    driver of such vehicle shall stop within 50 feet but not less than
    15 feet from the nearest rail of such railroad, and shall not
    proceed until he can do so safely. The foregoing requirements shall
    apply when:
    1.  A clearly visible electric or mechanical signal device gives
        warning of the immediate approach of a railroad train;
    2.  A crossing gate is lowered or when a human flag person gives or
        continues to give a signal of the approach or passage of a
        railroad train;
    3.  A railroad train approaching within approximately 1,500 feet of
        the highway crossing emits a signal audible from such distance
        and such railroad train, by reason of its speed or nearness to
        such crossing, is an immediate hazard;
    4.  An approaching railroad train is plainly visible and is in
        hazardous proximity to such crossing; and
    5.  The tracks at the crossing are not clear
2.  No person shall drive any vehicle through, around or under any
    crossing gate or barrier at a railroad crossing while such gate or
    barrier is closed or is being opened or closed.
3.  The operator of any Class A, B, or C commercial vehicle not required
    to stop at all railroad crossings, as prescribed in 47 O.S. §
    11-702, shall slow down and check that the tracks are clear of an
    approaching train.

:::

</div>

Whenever traffic is controlled by traffic-control signals exhibiting the
word \"Go,\" \"Caution\" or \"Stop,\" or exhibiting different colored
lights successively one at a time, or with arrows, the following colors
only shall be used, and the terms and lights shall indicate and apply to
drivers of vehicles and pedestrians as follows:

1.  *Green alone* or \"*Go*.\"
    1.  Vehicular traffic facing the signal may proceed straight through
        or turn right or left unless a sign or barricade at such place
        prohibits either such turn. But vehicular traffic, including
        vehicles turning right or left, shall yield the right-of-way to
        other vehicles and to pedestrians lawfully within the
        intersection or an adjacent crosswalk at the time such signal is
        exhibited;
    2.  Vehicular traffic facing a green arrow signal, shown alone or in
        combination with another indication, may cautiously enter the
        intersection only to make the movement indicated by such arrow,
        or such other movement as is permitted by other indications
        shown at the same time. Such vehicular traffic shall yield the
        right-of-way to pedestrians lawfully within an adjacent
        crosswalk and to other traffic lawfully using the intersection;
        and
    3.  Unless otherwise directed by a pedestrian-control signal,
        pedestrians facing the signal may proceed across the roadway
        within any marked or unmarked crosswalk;
2.  *Steady yellow alone*.
    1.  Vehicular traffic facing a steady circular yellow or yellow
        arrow signal is thereby warned that the red or \"Stop\" signal
        will be exhibited immediately thereafter, and such vehicular
        traffic shall not enter or be crossing the intersection when the
        red or \"Stop\" signal is exhibited; and
    2.  Pedestrians facing such signal, unless otherwise directed by a
        pedestrian control signal, are thereby advised that there is
        insufficient time to cross the roadway, and any pedestrian then
        starting to cross shall yield the right-of-way to all vehicles;
3.  *Steady red alone* or \"*Stop*.\"
    1.  Vehicular traffic facing the signal shall stop at a clearly
        marked stop line, but if none, before entering the crosswalk on
        the near side of the intersection, or, if none, then before
        entering the intersection, and shall remain standing until
        indication to proceed is shown. However, vehicles in the right
        traffic lane after making a stop as above required may enter the
        intersection cautiously and make a right turn unless \"No Turn
        on Red\" signs are posted to prohibit right turns; but such
        vehicle shall yield the right-of-way to any pedestrian or other
        traffic in the intersection, and such turn shall not be made so
        as to interfere with traffic proceeding on a green signal
        indication on the cross street;
    2.  No pedestrian facing such signal shall enter the roadway until
        the green or \"Go\" is shown alone or until authorized so to do
        by a pedestrian \"Walk\" signal; and
4.  *Steady red with green arrow*.
    1.  Vehicular traffic facing such signal may cautiously enter the
        intersection only to make the movement indicated by such arrow,
        but shall yield the right-of-way to pedestrians lawfully within
        a crosswalk and to other traffic lawfully using the
        intersection;
    2.  No pedestrian facing such signal shall enter the roadway until
        the green or \"Go\" is shown alone or until authorized so to do
        by pedestrian \"Walk\" signal; and
    3.  In the event an official traffic-control signal is erected and
        maintained at a place other than an intersection, the provisions
        of this section shall be applicable except as to those
        provisions which by their nature can have no application. Any
        stop required shall be made at a sign or marking on the pavement
        indicating where the stop shall be made. In the absence of any
        such sign or marking, the stop shall be made at the signal.

        controlled by the signal;
2.  *Steady yellow alone*.
    1.  Vehicular traffic facing the signal is thereby warned that the

1.  Every solid rubber tire on a vehicle shall have rubber on its entire
    traction surface at least one inch thick above the edge of the
    flange of the entire periphery.

2.  A person shall not operate or move on any hard-surfaced highway any
    vehicle having any metal tire in contact with the roadway, except
    when authorized by special permit.

3.  1.  Any tire on a vehicle moved on a highway shall not have on its
        periphery any block, stud, flange, cleat or spike or any other
        protuberance of any material other than rubber which projects
        beyond the tread of the traction surface of the tire, except
        that it shall be permissible:
        1.  To use farm tractors or implements of husbandry with tires
            having protuberances which will not injure the highway;
        2.  To use tire chains of reasonable proportions upon any
            vehicle when required for safety because of snow, ice, or
            other conditions tending to cause a vehicle to skid; or
        3.  For pneumatic tires equipped with or having on their
            periphery studs of metal, porcelain or other material to be
            sold or used in the state, if constructed to provide
            resiliency upon contact with the road surface, so that not
            more than three percent in the aggregate of the traction
            surface of such tire is composed of such studs and so that
            such studs do not project more than three thirty-seconds of
            an inch beyond the tread of the traction surface of such
            tire and have a rate of wear which will so limit such
            projection.
    2.  The exceptions permitted in subsection (C)(1) of this section
        shall be subject to the following restrictions:
        1.  The use of such tires or tire chains shall be limited to
            vehicles with rated capacities up to and including two tons;
        2.  Any tire so equipped shall not be used on a public highway
            earlier than November 1 of each year or later than April 1
            of the following year; and
        3.  Copies of this subsection (C) shall be posted in all places
            at which tires or tire chains are sold, and a printed or
            written warning on the time limitation for the use of such
            tires or tire chains shall be furnished to each buyer,
            purchaser, or user by the seller of such studded tires or
            tire chains.

4.  Operator selectable \"on demand\" studded tires having
    traction-enhancing studs located outside the normal tread area which
    allows their operation as conventional tires on dry roads or as
    studded tires on ice-coated roads by the expedient of reducing or
    increasing the air pressure within the tires, shall be exempt from
    the prohibitions of subsection (C) of this section with the
    following exceptions:
    1.  The use of such tires shall be limited to vehicles with rated
        capacities up to and including two tons;
    2.  Any such tire shall not be deflated so that the studs lower and
        make contact with the road surface earlier than November 1 of
        each year or later than April 1 of the following year.

5.  A person shall not operate any vehicle when one or more of the tires
    in use on that vehicle is in unsafe operating condition or has a
    tread depth less than two-thirty-seconds inch measured in any two
    adjacent tread grooves at three equally spaced intervals around the
    circumference of the tire, provided such measurements shall not be
    made at the location of any tread wear indicator, tie bar, hump, or
    fillet. As used in this subsection, an unsafe tire includes, but is
    not limited to, any tire:
    1.  On which the ply or cord is exposed in the tread area;
    2.  Which has been regrooved or recut below the original groove
        depth, except tires that have been designed with under-rubber
        sufficient for regrooving and are so marked;
    3.  Marked \"Farm Implement Only,\" \"Not for Highway Use,\" or any
        other marking that would indicate that the tire is not for
        normal highway use, provided no such marking shall be altered or
        removed;
    4.  On which any bulges, bumps, or knots show in the tread or
        sidewall area; or
    5.  On the front steering axle of a truck-tractor which has tread
        depth measuring less than four-thirty-seconds inch.

6.  Every wheel on a vehicle shall not be cracked and shall be securely
    fastened to the hub of the vehicle with all lug nuts properly
    affixed.

7.  No vehicle or combination of vehicles, weighing eight tons or more,
    loaded or unloaded, shall be driven or moved on Eastern Avenue,
    between SW 34th Street and Indian Hills Road, within the corporate
    limits of the city. This subsection shall not apply to vehicles
    owned and operated by public utility corporations or the city while
    such vehicles are being used in the performance of their official
    duties.

</div>

1.  The following words, terms and phrases, when used in this section,
    shall have the meanings ascribed to them in this subsection, except
    where the context clearly indicates a different meaning:\
    *Child passenger restraint system* means an infant or child
    passenger restraint system that meets the federal standards as set
    by 49 CFR 571.213.
2.  Every driver when transporting a child under eight years of age in a
    motor vehicle operated on the roadways, streets, or highways of the
    state, shall provide for the protection of said child by properly
    using a child passenger restraint system as follows:
    1.  A child under four years of age shall be properly secured in a
        child passenger restraint system. The child passenger restraint
        system shall be rear-facing until the child reaches two years of
        age or until the child reaches the weight or height limit of the
        rear-facing child passenger restraint system, whichever occurs
        first.
    2.  A child at least four years of age but younger than eight years
        of age, if not taller than four feet nine inches in height,
        shall be properly secured in either a child passenger restraint
        system or child booster seat.
    3.  If a child is eight years of age or is taller than four feet
        nine inches in height, a seat belt properly secured to the
        vehicle shall be sufficient to meet the requirement of this
        section.
3.  This section shall not apply to:
    1.  The driver of a school bus, taxicab, moped, motorcycle, or other
        motor vehicle not required to be equipped with safety belts
        pursuant to city ordinance, state statute, or federal law;
    2.  The driver of an ambulance or emergency vehicle;
    3.  A driver of a vehicle if all of the seat belts in the vehicle
        are in use;
    4.  The transportation of children who for medical reasons are
        unable to be placed in such devices, provided there is written
        documentation from a physician of such medical reason;
    5.  The transportation of a child who weighs more than 40 pounds and
        who is being transported in the back seat of a vehicle while
        wearing only a lap safety belt when the back seat is not
        properly equipped with combination lap and shoulder safety
        belts, or when the combination lap and shoulder safety belts in
        the back seat are being used by other children who weigh more
        than 40 pounds; provided, however, for purposes of this
        subsection, the term \"back seat\" shall include all seats
        located behind the front seat of a vehicle operated by a
        licensed child care facility or church; Provided further, there
        shall be a rebuttable presumption that a child has met the
        weight requirements of this subsection if, at the request of any
        law enforcement officer, the licensed child care facility or
        church provides the officer with a written statement verified by
        the parent or legal guardian that the child weighs more than 40
        pounds.
4.  A law enforcement officer is hereby authorized to stop a vehicle if
    it appears that the driver of the vehicle has violated the provision
    of this section and to give an oral warning to the driver. The
    warning shall advise the driver of the possible danger to children
    resulting from the failure to install or use a child passenger
    restraint system or seat belts in the motor vehicle.
5.  A violation of the provisions of this section shall not be
    admissible as evidence in any civil action or proceeding for
    damages. In any action brought by or on behalf of an infant for
    personal injuries or wrongful death sustained by motor vehicle
    collision, the failure of any person to have the infant properly
    restrained in accordance with the provisions of this section shall
    not be used in aggravation or mitigation of damages.
6.  Any person convicted of violating this section shall be punished by
    a fine of \$50.00, or the maximum amount allowed by state law,
    whichever is greater, and shall pay court costs. This fine shall be
    suspended in the case of the first offense upon proof of purchase or
    acquisition by loan of a child passenger restraint system. The fine
    need not be suspended if the child was being transported in a motor
    vehicle already equipped with a child passenger restraint system.

1.  When any highway has been closed to traffic while the highway is
    flooded or under repair, maintenance or construction and
    traffic-control devices or barricades have been erected, it shall be
    unlawful for any person to drive any vehicle through, under, over,
    or around the traffic-control devices or barricades, or otherwise to
    enter the closed area. The provisions of this subsection shall not
    apply to persons while engaged in the construction, maintenance and
    repair of the highway or to persons entering therein for the
    protection of lives or property, provided that persons having their
    places of residence or places of business within the closed area may
    travel, when possible to do so, through the area at their own risk.
2.  Whenever construction, repair and maintenance of any highway is
    being performed under traffic, the city or other authority shall
    erect, or cause to be erected, traffic-control devices to warn and
    guide the public. Each person using the highway shall obey all
    signs, signals, markings, flagmen or other traffic-control devices
    which are placed to regulate, control, and guide traffic through the
    construction or maintenance area. As used in this subsection, the
    term \"construction or maintenance area\" means any area upon or
    around any highway that is visibly marked as an area where
    construction, repair, and maintenance is temporarily occurring. The
    construction or maintenance area also includes the lanes of highway
    leading up to the area upon which an activity described in this
    section is being performed, beginning at the point where properly
    posted traffic-control devices start to warn and guide the public
    into and through the construction or maintenance, including, but not
    limited to, instructions to merge from one lane into another lane,
    to reduce speed, or to follow directions of flagmen.
3.  The \"Merge Now\" traffic-control device that is used to warn and
    guide the public using the highway to merge, shall be located no
    greater than one mile nor less than 1,500 feet in advance of the
    highway construction or maintenance area. Whenever any
    traffic-control device requires traffic to merge due to the closure
    of a section or lane of highway, the merge shall be completed:
    1.  As soon as practicable after passing the traffic-control device;
        and
    2.  Without passing any other traffic proceeding in the same
        direction.
4.  No person shall remove, change, modify, deface or alter any
    traffic-control device or barricade which has been erected on any
    highway under the provisions of this section.

1.  Notwithstanding a maximum speed limit enumerated in this Code, no
    person shall drive a vehicle upon any alley, highway, roadway,
    street or public parking area at a speed greater than or less than
    is reasonable or prudent under the conditions then existing,
    considering visibility, amount of traffic, condition of roadway
    surface, presence of pedestrians, obstruction of view and other
    similar facts.
2.  No person shall drive any vehicle upon a street at a speed greater
    than will permit him to bring it to a stop within the assured clear
    distance ahead.
3.  Except when a special hazard exists that requires lower speed for
    compliance with subsection (A) of this section, the limits specified
    in this chapter or established as authorized shall be maximum lawful
    speeds. No person shall drive a vehicle on a highway at a speed in
    excess of such maximum limits as follows:
    1.  25 miles per hour on any street, except as may be posted
        otherwise; and
    2.  25 miles per hour in any designated school zone under the
        following conditions, unless a different speed limit is
        otherwise designated and posted:
        1.  When signed with the legend \"When Flashing\" and flashing
            lights are in operation; and
        2.  When signed with the legend \"When Children Are Present.\" A
            child shall be considered present when he is within 15 feet
            of the curb or edge of the street within a school zone or
            near enough so that a potential hazard exists with motorized
            traffic.
4.  The city manager has authority to post lower speed limits than those
    presented in this chapter where special hazards exist.
5.  The fact that the speed of a vehicle is lower than the designated
    limits shall not relieve the driver from the duty to decrease speed
    when approaching and crossing an intersection, when approaching and
    going around a curve, when approaching a hill crest, when traveling
    upon any narrow winding roadway, or when a special hazard exists
    with respect to pedestrians or other traffic, or by reason of
    weather or highway conditions and speed shall be decreased as may be
    necessary to avoid colliding with any person or vehicle or on
    entering the roadway in compliance with legal requirement and the
    duty of all persons to use due care and precaution.
6.  The driver of every vehicle shall, consistent with the requirements
    of subsection (A) of this section, drive at an appropriate reduced
    speed when approaching and crossing an intersection or railway grade
    crossing, when approaching and going around a curve, when
    approaching a hillcrest, when driving upon any narrow or winding
    roadway, and when special hazard exists with respect to pedestrians
    or other traffic, or by reason of weather or highway conditions.

1.  The driver of an authorized emergency vehicle, when responding to an
    emergency call or when in the pursuit of an actual or suspected
    violator of the law or when responding to but not upon returning
    from a fire alarm, may exercise the privilege set forth in this
    section, but subject to the conditions herein stated.
2.  The driver of an authorized emergency vehicle may:
    1.  Park, or stand, irrespective of the provisions of this part;
    2.  Proceed past a red or stop signal or stop sign, but only after
        slowing down as may be necessary for safe operation;
    3.  Exceed the maximum speed limits so long as speeding does not
        endanger life or property;
    4.  Disregard regulations governing direction of movement; and
    5.  Disregard regulations governing turning in specified directions.
3.  The exemptions herein granted to the driver of an authorized
    emergency vehicle shall apply only when the driver is properly and
    lawfully making use of an audible signal or of flashing red or blue
    lights or a combination of flashing red and blue lights meeting the
    requirements of 47 O.S. § 12-218, except that an authorized
    emergency vehicle operated as a police vehicle need not be equipped
    with or display a red or blue light visible from in front of the
    vehicle. This subsection shall not be construed as requiring a peace
    officer operating a police vehicle properly and lawfully in response
    to a crime in progress to use audible signals.
4.  The exemptions in subsection (B)(3) and (5) of this section shall be
    granted to a law enforcement officer operating an authorized
    emergency vehicle for law enforcement purposes without using audible
    and visual signals required by this section as long as the action
    does not endanger life or property if the officer is following a
    suspected violator of the law with probable cause to believe that:
    1.  Knowledge of the presence of the officer will cause the suspect
        to:
        1.  Destroy or lose evidence of a suspected felony;
        2.  End a suspected continuing felony before the officer has
            obtained sufficient evidence to establish grounds for
            arrest; or
        3.  Evade apprehension or identification of the suspect or the
            vehicle of the suspect; or
    2.  Because of traffic conditions, vehicles moving in response to
        the audible or visual signals may increase the potential for a
        collision.

    The exceptions granted in this subsection shall not apply to an
    officer who is in actual pursuit of a person who is eluding or
    attempting to elude the officer in violation of 21 O.S. § 540A.
5.  The provisions of this section shall not relieve the driver of an
    authorized emergency vehicle from the duty to drive with due regard
    for the safety of all persons, nor shall such provisions protect the
    driver from the consequences of reckless disregard for the safety of
    others.

        entity that records and verifies the ownership of vehicles for
        any other state, and that the person has a valid driver\'s
        license or a temporary one issued when that person surrenders
        his license or other proper photo identification and valid

        valid driver\'s license or other proper photo identification and
        valid insurance.
    3.  If the person has a valid insurance verification form and the

    hearing if the request is received more than ten days following
    actual or constructive notice to the owner or driver of the vehicle
    that said vehicle has been so removed or stored. Failure of either
    the registered or legal owner to timely request or to timely appear
    upon a scheduled hearing shall satisfy the hearing requirement of

    upon a portion of the street, highway, shoulder or right-of-way, if
    after a period of 48 hours there is no evidence of an apparent owner
    who intends to remove the vehicle.
2.  If such officer has reasonable cause to believe a vehicle has been
    abandoned in a location which would be hazardous to the free flow of

    the vehicle immediately.
3.  Any officer or agent who has removed or directed the removal of an
    abandoned vehicle must promptly request the state tax commission or

    thereof for failure to provide such notice to the owner or
    lienholder.
4.  The owner of a motor vehicle abandoned in violation of this Code or
    the owner of any vehicle which shall have been lawfully removed from
    any highway or other public property, or any lienholder on such
    vehicle, may regain possession of the vehicle in accordance with
    regulations of the city upon payment of the reasonable cost of
    removal and storage of such vehicles.
5.  A lienholder as used in this section means those lienholders as

        electric company are moved underground.
    3.  Where aerial cable is allowed, Franchisee shall not erect any
        new poles along any Public Way except as may be reasonably

2.  *Rate and Charge Limitations*.
    1.  The Franchisee may require Subscribers to pay for Cable Service
        one month in advance. No other advance payment, penalty or
        deposit other than a late fee imposed by Section 16(b)(3). below
        shall be required by the Franchisee for Cable Service except
        where a particular Subscriber has a bona fide credit problem.
    2.  If in the future the state of Oklahoma regulates the rates of

            assessed;
        2.  The fee is not assessed any earlier than the tenth (10th)
            day after the due date as reflected on the subscriber\'s
            bill; and

        Any fee imposed by Franchisee that does not exceed \$6.00 in
        Year 2000 dollars (as adjusted annually for inflation based on
        the Consumer Price Index) shall be presumed reasonable to cover
        the costs associated with the delinquent payment. The assessment

    in the exercise of its lawful police powers or powers granted to the
    City by federal or state law. However, such regulation, by ordinance
    or otherwise, shall be reasonable, of general applicability, and not
    in conflict with the material rights herein granted.
2.  The City shall have the right to inspect the books, records, maps,
    plans, and other like materials of the Franchisee reasonably
    necessary to enforce any Franchise granted hereunder, at any time
    upon reasonable written notice and during Normal Business Hours.
3.  The City shall have the right, during the life of a Franchise, to
    install and maintain for a fee, upon the poles of the Franchisee any
    wire and pole fixtures that do not interfere with the System of the
    Franchisee.
4.  The City shall have the right to inspect all construction or
    installation work performed, within public ways subject to the
    provisions of this nonexclusive Franchise and other pertinent
    provisions of the state and local law. In the event City
    inspection(s) reveal(s) that the Franchisee has failed, in the
    City\'s reasonable judgment, to fulfill its obligation under the
    terms of this nonexclusive Franchise, the City shall notify the
    Franchisee, in writing, of its specific deficiencies. Absent
    commencement of corrective action or filing of a request for review
    before the City Council by the Franchisee within thirty (30) days of
    receipt of said notification, the City may undertake the necessary
    repairs or restoration at the Franchisee\'s sole expense.
5.  At the expiration of the term for which a Franchise is granted, or
    upon its termination as provided herein, and absent a Franchise
    renewal, the Council may require the Franchisee to continue
    operations for a period not to exceed six (6) months from the date
    of the Council\'s decision. In the event of non-renewal of the

    from the date it ceases operations to remove, at its own expense,
    all portions of its System from all Public Ways within the City and

    City, at its election, and upon the payment of a sum equal to the
    fair market value to the Franchisee as provided by Subsection (G),
    shall have the right to purchase and take over the System in its
    entirety. Upon the exercise of this option and the payment of the
    above sum by the City and its service of an official notice of such
    action upon the Franchisee, the Franchisee shall immediately
    transfer to the City possession and title to all facilities and
    property, real and personal, of the System, free from any and all
    liens and encumbrances not agreed to be assumed by the City in lieu
    of some portion of the purchase price set forth above; and the
    Franchisee shall execute such warranty deeds or other instruments of
    conveyance to the City as shall be necessary for this purpose.
7.  Upon the exercise of the option by the City to purchase and take
    over the System in its entirety, the fair market value to the
    Franchisee of the System shall be determined by three (3)
    disinterested parties, one of such parties to be selected by the
    City, another to be selected by the Franchisee, and the two (2)
    parties so selected shall mutually agree upon a third party. When
    all three (3) parties have been selected, they shall proceed to
    appraise the System and determine the fair market value of the
    System as a going concern, but with no value allocated to the
    Franchisee itself, which determination shall be binding upon the
    City and the Franchisee. In the event the two (2) parties selected
    by the City and Franchisee are unable to agree upon a third party,
    then the presiding District Judge of Cleveland County, Oklahoma, or
    his designee shall serve as the third party. The party selected by
    the City shall be with approval of the Council. However, if the City
    no longer desires to acquire the System after its value is
    determined, the City may, without penalty or waiver of future rights
    to acquire the System, abandon its intention to acquire the System.
    The cost of the appraisal shall be shared equally between the City

1.  As compensation for the use of valuable Public Ways and privileges
    granted to operate a System, and to defray the cost of the
    regulation, Franchisee shall pay to the City a Franchise fee of
    Franchisee\'s Gross Revenues received from the operation of its
    System to provide Cable Service within the City, based on the
    following schedule:
    1.  Three percent (3%) for revenue through December 31, 2003;
    2.  Four percent (4%) for revenue from January 1, 2004, through
        December 31, 2005; and

    the month for which the Franchise fee is being calculated.
3.  In the event the Franchise fee payment is not received by the City
    on the due date, the Franchisee shall be assessed interest on any
    delinquency from the due date until paid in full at the rate of ten
    percent (10%) per annum. In the event any Franchise fee shall be

    days\' written notice from the City, be deemed in material default
    and subject to the provisions of this Ordinance regarding

    all payments required by this section shall be in addition to all
    other fees and payments required to be made by Franchisee to the
    City.
6.  Acceptance by the City of any payment shall not be construed as an
    accord or satisfaction that such payment is correct, nor shall
    acceptance be construed as a release of any claim the City may have
    for additional sums which may be due.
7.  The City shall have the right, at its cost and upon reasonable
    notice, to inspect and audit all books and records of the Franchisee
    which may be necessary for the determination of Gross Revenues and
    computation of Franchise fees due, such audit period not to exceed

    have been underpaid in an amount in excess of ten percent (10%), the
    cost of audit shall be paid by the Franchisee. The books and records
    necessary for such audit shall be maintained by the Franchisee at

:::

</div>

Renewal of a Franchise shall be conducted in a manner consistent with
Franchise renewal provisions of the Cable Act, including without
limitations Sections 626 and 627 of the Cable Act as may be amended, and
to the extent consistent therewith, the following additional
requirements shall apply:

1.  Should the formal renewal process set forth in the Cable Act be
    invoked, the City shall, upon completion of the review and
    evaluation process, notify the Franchisee that it may file a renewal
    Application. The notice shall specify the information to be included
    in the renewal Application and the deadline for filing the
    Application, which shall be no earlier than sixty (60) calendar days
    following the date of the notice. Upon receipt of the renewal
    Application, the City shall publish notice of its receipt and make
    copies available to the public. The City may hold one or more public
    hearings on the renewal Application.
2.  At the conclusion of the public hearings on the renewal Application,
    the Council will either:
    1.  Pass a resolution agreeing to renew the Franchise, subject to
        the negotiation of a Franchise Agreement reasonably satisfactory
        to the City and the Franchisee; or
    2.  Pass a resolution that makes a preliminary assessment that the
        Franchise should not be renewed.
3.  If a preliminary assessment is made that a Franchise should not be
    renewed, at the request of the Franchisee or on its own initiative,
    the City will commence a proceeding, in accordance with the
    appropriate sections of the Cable Act, to address the issues set
    forth in the Cable Act.
4.  The City and Franchisee may engage in informal renewal discussions
    at any time prior to or during the formal renewal process. Any
    request to initiate a renewal process or proposal for renewal not
    submitted within the time period set forth in the Cable Act, shall
    be deemed an informal proposal for renewal. The City may hold one or
    more public hearings or implement other procedures under which
    comments from the public on an informal proposal for renewal may be
    received. Following such public hearings or other procedures, the
    Council shall determine whether the Franchise should be renewed and
    the terms and conditions of any renewal.
5.  If the Council grants a renewal Application, the City and the
    Franchisee shall agree on the terms of a Franchise Agreement, and
    comply with the procedures specified in this Ordinance, before such
    renewal becomes effective.
6.  If renewal of a Franchise is denied, the City may acquire ownership
    of the System as provided in this Ordinance or the Franchise
    Agreement, or at the request of the Franchisee, effect a transfer of
    ownership of the System to another Person upon approval of the
    Council. Any such acquisition or transfer shall be at fair market
    value, determined on the basis of the System valued as a going
    concern.
7.  If renewal of a Franchise is denied and the City does not purchase
    the System or approve or effect a transfer of the System to another
    Person, the City may require the former Franchisee to remove its
    facilities and equipment at the former Franchisee\'s expense. If the
    former Franchisee fails to do so within a 6 month period of time,
    the City may have the removal done at the former Franchisee\'s
    and/or surety\'s expense.

    this franchise and annually by each July following acceptance. The
    calculation filed upon Grantee's acceptance of this franchise shall
    be effective from the date of such filing through and including
    December 31 of the next succeeding calendar year. The calculation
    filed by Grantee on July 31 in years following the year of
    acceptance of this franchise shall be effective on January 1 of the
    next succeeding calendar year through and including December 31 of
    such calendar year. The calculation shall be subject to review by
    the City for mathematical correctness and the City shall notify
    Grantee in writing within forty five (45) calendar days after
    submission if the City deems such calculation to be incorrect. The
    volumetric rate calculation shall be based on the average of the
    average Settlement Prices for the twelve month period beginning in
    July of the immediately preceding year and ending in June
    immediately preceding the July 31 calculation. The average
    Settlement Prices for each month during said twelve-month period
    shall be calculated by adding the Settlement Prices for such month
    and the previous eleven (11) months as published and dividing by
    twelve. The average Settlement Prices for each of the twelve months
    shall then be summed and divided by twelve to determine the average
    of the average Settlement Prices and then multiplied by three
    percent (3%) to obtain the Volumetric Rate; provided, in the event
    the then-current average of the average Settlement Prices as
    calculated above and entered on the Volumetric Rate Calculation
    Form, attached as Exhibit A (see line designated on Exhibit "A" as
    "settlement price average"), exceeds the Index price for ONEOK Gas
    Transportation, L.L.C., that is listed in the issue of Platt's
    "Inside FERC's Gas Market Report" published on the first business
    day of the respective month ("Platt's Index price"), then the
    Platt's Index price shall be used to calculate the Volumetric Rate
    for that delivery month in lieu of the average of the average
    Settlement Prices entered on the Volumetric Rate Calculation Form
    (Exhibit A) (i.e., for that respective delivery month, the
    Volumetric Rate shall be determined by taking the Platt's Index
    price and multiplying that price by 3% or the then applicable
    increased percentage determined in the same manner set out in
    Paragraph 11.A(2) of this franchise).
18. "Volumetric Rate Fee" or "Volumetric Rate Fees" shall mean the fee
    or fees based on the Volumetric Rate to be collected and remitted to
    the City by Grantee as required by Paragraph 11.A(2) of this
    franchise upon the enactment of an ordinance as described in
    Paragraph 3.B(1).

style="margin-bottom:15px; color:#000;" target="_blank"}

1.  In consideration for the rights and privileges enjoyed under this
    franchise, Grantee agrees to pay Grantor as follows:
    1.  Grantee shall pay Grantor a franchise fee the sum of which is
        equal to Three Percent (3%) of the Gross Receipts received by
        Grantee, per billing period, from the transportation,
        distribution, and sale of natural gas for domestic, commercial
        or industrial consumption within the municipal corporate limits
        of the City. All sums due from Grantee shall be in lieu of all
        other franchise, license, or occupational taxes or fees, which
        may be levied or attempted to be levied on Grantee by the City.
    2.  In the event that Grantor, pursuant to Paragraph 3.B(1) of this
        ordinance, requires persons transporting gas pursuant to a
        Transportation Tariff Arrangement to pay compensation to Grantor
        for use of the Public Ways in connection the sale of Transport
        Gas, said compensation shall be calculated as a Volumetric Rate
        fee for such Transport Gas, which shall be the sum equal to the
        then current Volumetric Rate multiplied by the number of Dth of
        Transport Gas reported or distributed through Grantee's
        facilities within the municipal corporate limits of the City by
        Grantee or by any third-party to transport customers for
        consumption within the City. Grantee will in that event collect
        such Volumetric Rate Fees from persons transporting gas pursuant
        to a Transportation Tariff Arrangement and remit the same to
        Grantor.
2.  In the event a customer of Grantee does not pay a monthly bill from
    Grantee in full, Grantee shall prorate its payments of remissions to
    the City for sums due on that particular bill so that the amount
    actually paid by the customer to Grantee on the bill is distributed
    to Grantee for the natural gas commodity and transportation or
    distribution service and to the City for sums due on the bill in
    proportion to the percentage of the total bill actually paid by the
    customer. In the event Grantee actually collects any outstanding
    amounts due on a past due, unpaid or partially paid monthly bill to
    a customer, then Grantee shall pay Grantor its proportionate share
    of sums due to the City on such bill.
3.  Grantee's franchise fee based upon a percentage of gross cash
    receipts or a volumetric rate shall be payable monthly on or before
    the 25th day of each month, on its gross cash receipts for the
    preceding calendar month.
4.  All sums due from Grantee under this Section shall be in lieu of all
    other franchise, license, or occupation taxes or fees, which may be
    levied or attempted to be levied on Grantee by the City.
5.  The City's chief administrative officer or his designee may waive
    the Volumetric Rate Fee or any part thereof due from a Transport Gas
    Consumer, but such waiver shall only be granted if:
    1.  The Transport Gas Consumer could otherwise obtain its energy
        needs from another source that would not be subject to the fees
        imposed in Subparagraph 2 of Subsection 11.A above and
        sufficient evidence is produced by the Transport Gas Consumer so
        as to substantiate such alternative source; and
    2.  Such alternative source, including all other fees, would be less
        than the cost of utilizing Grantee to furnish and transport the
        gas or transport alone, as the case may be.
6.  Grantee shall update its records for the purpose of franchise fee
    payments as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving such
    notice.
7.  In the event the accounting rendered to Grantor by Grantee is found
    to be incorrect, then payment shall be made on the corrected amount,
    it being agreed that Grantor may accept amount offered by Grantee,
    but the acceptance thereof by Grantor shall not be deemed a
    settlement of such item if the amount is in dispute or later found
    to be incorrect. Grantee shall have no obligation, however, to make
    payment upon Transport Gas for which Grantee has not been paid.
    Grantee shall provide notice to Grantor of such delinquent accounts
    within ninety (90) days and Grantor shall hold Grantee harmless from
    the cost or liability for the collection of franchise fees on such
    delinquent accounts.
8.  Grantor agrees that the franchise fee percentage rate set forth in
    Subsection 11.A, at Paragraphs (1) and (2), of this Ordinance shall
    in no event exceed the percentage rate hereafter approved to
    calculate any fee paid to Grantor by any other person or entity for
    use of the Public Ways if such fee or volumetric rate is based in
    any way on the amount of revenues or gross receipts from the
    transportation, distribution, or sale of natural gas or electric
    energy, excluding any municipally-owned electric utility, by such
    other person or entity to ultimate Consumers within the City. If at
    any time after the effective date of this Ordinance the fee or rate
    required to be paid by another is less than the percentage rate set
    forth in Paragraphs A(1) or (2) of Section 11, then the percentage
    rate set forth in Paragraphs A(1) or (2) of Section 11 of this
    Ordinance shall be reduced to equal such lesser percentage rate on
    the date such lesser percentage rate becomes effective and without
    any further action by the City or the qualified electors residing
    therein.
