Oklahoma law requires that 70 percent of the projects in each category be specified in the ordinance calling for a G.O. bond election. The law also requires that these projects be completed with the bond funds. The remaining 30 percent are “discretionary” and do not have to be specified in the ordinance, nor is completion required. However, the City of Bartlesville has completed all projects identified as “30 percent projects” in the past.

Jo Allyn Lowe Park Trail Lights — $51,000*

The Pathfinder trails that encompass Jo Allyn Lowe Park are heavily used. This project will be similar to what was done at Lee Lake. The intent is to install solar powered lights along the trails at Jo Allyn Lowe Park. The final layout is not determined, but the area around the prairie section of the park is the primary focus and then other locations that receive enough sunlight to facilitate solar lights will be evaluated.

The City currently has nine core servers that host all major software systems the City uses.  The existing servers are end of life and need to be replaced to keep operations functional.  The project includes five years of warranty and Core and Windows licenses.

There are three main battery backup units (UPS = uninterruptible power supplies) that provide power to the City’s core servers during power outages.  These units are reaching end of life and need to be replaced to maintain continuity of services during power outages.
