Board accepts resignations and re-assignments in regular meeting

Snyder Board of Education accepted the resignations of five employees, heard program updates and reports and dealt with routine business at Monday night's regular meeting.

Following discussion in executive session the board accepted resignations for school year 2011 from certified personnel Dianne Atchley and Gloria Mosley and support personnel Shirley Holder, Kathy Osborn and Rena Gibbons. All five ladies accepted the retirement incentive offered in February.

Mrs. Atchley stated in her letter that she will be available to teach at a reduced salary if she begins to receive her teacher retirement and the incentive offered by Snyder School Board. She went on to say that she would like to continue to teach for a few more years. Mrs. Atchley is the high school science teacher.

"There aren't enough accolades to describe all the great students, faculty, administrators, and Board of Education members I've encountered in my forty years as a teacher for Snyder Public Schools," she wrote. "I have been so very fortunate to have an occupation that I love. Teaching and kids have been my life."

In Mrs. Mosley's letter she stated her intention to accept the retirement incentive, retiring from her full-time position as high school and elementary library media specialist. She would like to return for half-time employment as high school and elementary library media specialist in August.

Mrs. Mosley wrote, "It is with mixed emotions that I take this step into retirement/part-time employment. I have thoroughly enjoyed my 33 years of teaching and serving as librarian. I appreciate the support of the past and present Board of Education, Administration and entire staff.

"Thank you for allowing me to have the wonderful opportunity and experience of working with Snyder youth these many years. They have given me a lifetime of precious memories."

Mrs. Holder is resigning her position as superintendent's secretary and taking advantage of the incentive offered. She stated she is willing to continue to work part-time at one half of her salary.

Mrs. Osborn accepted the incentive agreement and thanked the board for the opportunities she has had the past 20 years working for the school. She offered her assistance in filling her positions.

Mrs. Gibbons is taking the incentive offer for retirement from her position as Food Service Director. She said she has enjoyed her 15 years in that position.

Judy Adler's request for re-assignment to Food Services Director and Year Book Adviser and an extra-duty contract for Mrs. Mosley on Summer Library Duty were approved.

Reports were given on Professional Development by Sharon McKee, an update on the Special Education program by Terri Woodward, and a Federal Programs update by Tamra Phelan.

Mrs. McKee reported the professional day scheduled for this Friday is not necessary due to teachers reporting to school to ready their rooms the day before students returned following the ice storm. She reviewed staff development so far this year, and said the fourth session will include review of CRT results and the WinGage grade book. Possible staff development opportunities during the summer were also mentioned.

Mrs. Woodward presented an update on the Special Education program. She said Snyder Schools currently have 100 students on ICP (Individual Education Plan). Of that number, 37 are in the program for speech and language only.

Six are non-graded early childhood students. These are younger than pre-kindergarten children who have been referred from notices placed around town, in daycare centers and published in the newspaper. They are seen twice a week for speech and/or occupational therapy. Thirty-seven are learning disabled, 13 are health impaired and five are intellectually deficient.

The special education staff includes Rhonda Hicks at the primary building, Teresa Usher - elementary, and Pari Breeze - high school. Staci West is the primary teacher's aide. Speech and occupational therapy are contracted with JCMH hospital at Altus. Superintendent Robert Trammell said Snyder Schools have an outstanding special ed department.

Snyder Public Schools has received a total of $832,876.55 in funds and opportunities for staff, parents and students for FY 2009-10. Mrs. Phelan presented a breakdown of how the money was spent, with $365,510 for students, $18,900 for parents, and $448,466.55 for the school.

$251,850 was received by students in the form of scholarships and grants; $86,500 for five Cameron PLUS Scholars; 80 ACT fee waivers; and $15,600 for 20 UpWard Bound students. Parents received the equivalent of $18,900 in free lunches for students via the Migrant program. Snyder Public Schools received $25,500 from the 2009-10 Gear Up Grant; $20,500 from the 2010-11 Gear Up Grant; $102,000 for 35 Migrant students; $89,381 Title I ARRA; $161,227 Title I Part A; $2,740 Title IV (Safe & Drug Free Schools); $41,885.55 State REAP FLEX used to fund technology related items; and $5,733 ACE Remediation for tutoring.

Partially funded: high school counselor's salary and transportation costs, two kindergarten teachers, two teacher's assistants, two health teachers, and one reading specialist.

The board approved the addition of LaDeen Sharver to the substitute teacher list; application for Secondary Career Tech programs for school year 2010-11; and fund-raising activities for the sophomore and junior classes.

The sophomore class will sell homemade ice cream at one home baseball game and one home softball game and they received permission to sell Snyder Cyclone blankets (throws) in the spring. The junior class will sponsor Spring Lifetouch Pictures.

Mr. Trammell presented a certificate from the Oklahoma State Department of Health for adopting and enforcing a 24/7 Tobacco-Free School Policy in his superintendent's report. He said the school is in full compliance for the Breathe Easy program and will receive a banner.

He reported the FFA spring schedule with good participation in the local and county livestock shows; the band receiving superior ratings at District Contest, qualifying them to compete at state contest in Stillwater on April 20; and the girls' basketball team going to state tournament. The Lady Cyclones will play at 7 p.m. Thursday at the state fairgrounds in Oklahoma City.

In a compliance check by the Regional Accreditation Officer, Mr. Trammell said the district can keep to this year's calendar with May 20 being the last day of school for the students and May 21 the final professional day for the teachers. No days will need to be added due to time missed during the ice storm and power outage.

In other routine business the Feb. 8 minutes, encumbrances and change orders, treasurer's report and monthly activity custodian report were approved.

The treasurer's report revealed $729,774.56 in the General Fund, $9,143.21 in the Co-op Fund, $57,076 in the Building Fund and $29,858.47 in Child Nutrition for a total of $825,852.24. Mr. Trammell said that figure is just a little under what it was this time last year. February interest earned from Bank of the Wichitas was $1,110.17 with earned interest to date, $6,372.84.

Board members attending include: Mike Roberts, Buster Spurlin, Jana Moeller, Jerry Geiger, Perch Flinn, and James Schneider. Brian Wilhite was absent.

Snyder representatives attend Rural Water District meeting

Snyder Vice Mayor Teresa Mills, Water Superintendent Mark Shelton, and Water Plant Advisory Board members Randy Archer and Todd Huckabay attended a Comanche County Rural Water District No. 4 meeting Tuesday night to discuss the future of the association between the two entities.


The city currently sells more than 177 million gallons of water to the rural water district, generating more than $300,000 in revenue for 2009. Snyder will need to renegotiate a long-term contract with the rural water district before proceeding with plans for a new water plant.


Mills was told that the water district had made numerous attempts to contact the city in regards to negotiations with no response. Snyder mayor, Gary Anderson, and the city's engineer, Steve Cesar, were invited to the meeting, but did not attend.


Snyder is definitely interested in a long-term contract and working together on securing financing, grants and other sources of funding for the new plant, Mills told the water district.


Archer said project plans for a reverse osmosis plant have been passed along to USDA Rural Development and the Oklahoma Water Resources Board for review.

Mayor called to task at special Snyder City Council meeting Monday night

Agenda items:

  • Public Participation
  • Budget amendments for City of Snyder, police department, and animal control
  • Grant reimbursement appropriation for storm siren, REAP, and fire department
  • Snyder code of ordinances regarding the removal of officers from office (Mayor)
  • Budgetary concerns over police department expenditures and required curtailment of training and vehicle expenses
  • Adoption of SPWA Resolution establishing fees for water and sewer services

Council member Teresa Mills had removal of the mayor put on the agenda. She stated that she always hears how the mayor's style is "laid back, let everything roll," and letting department heads have free reign is what led to the current situation for the city. She said if she had gotten the numbers she repeatedly asked for after taking office we would have known that the ex-city clerk  who had been telling them that they had money and bills were paid had been basically "lying through her teeth because she knew she was hiding checks and knew bills weren't getting paid and employees were not being taken care of on their insurance and tax payments."

Mills said that she had talked to a lot of citizens who were tired of things just being allowed to roll along. "We still don't have an audit started. We are losing gas tax money every month because we don't have a current audit." The previous clerk just kept saying they were working on getting an audit.

Mills also said she's asked and asked for the police department issues to be taken more seriously. Even the condition of the police station office and police cars are awful. She said people have told her that they wouldn't work back there "because it's a pig sty. It's dirty and cluttered and things can't be found. Paperwork is not being filed at Hobart.

"There's got to be a handle. All I'm asking you to do is stand up and take charge and oversee. Don't give Johnny McBee free reign." She said officers who have worked there have quoted McBee as saying "I have the mayor in my back pocket."

Mayor Gary Anderson replied, "I can't address what's been said in private behind my back, but I don't think that's the situation. I do talk to the chief several times a week. He reports what's going on. I've told him that the cars and the department needs to be cleaned up. We're in the process of removing a desk or two and trying to get it where it's a little easier for them to keep it clean. They have been smoking back there and that's been stopped."

Mills retorted, "[Keeping] Johnny McBee as chief is not taking control. All he's worried about is counting it as his town. We've got to have professionalism. You've lost one in particular very good officer and some a couple more reserves."

Anderson said that on an exit interview he was told they were getting too much harassment.

"From me? No, fraid not," Mills replied.

Assistant Clerk Sherry Krause said she and the other girls in the office "have had it.
Something has got to give. We are grown adults here, not 2 yrs old. If we can't do our job and get along like we're supposed to, forget it, we don't need to be here."

Mills said, "Getting along is not solving the problems."

Anderson said, "We are sitting here bickering like a bunch of 5 year olds with a water plant falling down around our ears, other issues, streets that need addressing, a lot of important issues other than whether my style of management vs your style of management..."

Mills said, "it's not my style, i'm telling you what the citizens are saying. I'm just asking that these things be addressed. I'm asking you to get up off your butt and take charge and take care of stuff! We've got to see something move on the water plant, we've been talking about it for months."

Council member Spud Kirk joined in saying that this job takes a little while to grasp the magnitude of it and he hopes it has come to light what is required. We do have to take a positive grasp on everything and everybody take hold and go on there have to be positive changes he said. "The mayor is in fact the city manager and we do need to allow time, we do have an elected representative of the city and he needs a little time... On the other hand there were times when there should have been more action a lot quicker than there was and other people had to step up. "We do need to take positive steps and go on and put this disruptive time behind us."

City Clerk Tammy Biddle said, "Looking at it from the inside out...a lot of the complaints - we had Lori sitting there telling us everything's ok, I've got this she made a very good show of it. There was a horrible division of labor in this office. Things were pushed onto people that they shouldn't have been doing and she wasn't doing 9/10 of what she should have been doing. That created a backlog because things were heaped on Sherry that she shouldn't have been responsible for.

"It takes three people three days to enter readings from the meters and four people two days to get the bills out. Imagine Sherry doing this entirely by herself for two years without any help from Lori. All the time there was Lori sitting there telling everybody it's okay. It wasn't just Gary she duped, she duped this entire city council. She duped each and every one of you into believing.

Biddle continued, "I'm not going to give up until I straighten this mess up to the best of my ability. I'm trying to help each and every one of you citizens get to where they need to be and every one of these council members just like Sherry and just like Patti. Sitting here bickering and pointing fingers is not getting us anywhere.

"All we're trying to say is yes, Gary should have stepped up a few more times than he did. He realizes his mistake now because he had Lori sitting here saying it's alright, we got this, Well you didn't get this."

Patti Mountford said that's all the more reason there should be a full audit.

Biddle said they are advertising for an auditor now and doing everything possible to get the audit done because they realize lack of an audit has cost the city a lot of money. "You've lost 2007 gas excise taxes, you almost lost 2008 by 2 days because the audit had to be in to the state by Dec. 31, 2009 it made it to the state Dec 28.

"Bottom line I support Teresa. There are several instances that Gary should have stepped up and we've been prodding him to step up a whole lot more. Lori had him into a rhythm he only had to come in a few hours every day, it's all running nice and smooth, no complaints, everything was being pushed under a giant carpet. This carpet has now exploded out from under you. He's trying to find his feet and find out how much time he does need to spend in this office.

"We're going to get it figured out. None of us are giving up. You were duped, they were duped, we're just asking for your patience. Let us help you try to figure this out where we can get this back on an even keel."

Mountford said, "I think you do have people's patience because y'all were a God send. Y'all were the ones who found out what was going on. If she hadn't gone to Alaska we'd still be getting told everything's okay."

Biddle said, "You realize your council gave her a raise as she was handing in her resignation. I'm still working for $9.50 an hour. I promise you it's not enough for me to stay here long term but I am not going to give up until this situation is sorted out and this city is back to normal and the citizens are going to be taken care of."

Kirk said, "I appreciate everything you've done and I personally would like to apologize to Sherry. I didn't know the situation and the load she was working under. i really apprecitae her for hanging in during all that. We all should think about the fact what we ask a mayor to do for $300 a month."

Patti Locklear, city treasurer, said, "It's very hard to work here - emotionally you get people yelling, screaming, then you come to a council meeting - if it's arguing in here it's that much harder. You just cringe coming to a council meeting. It makes it harder on us working too. If everybody could get along we can fix it, but I commend you [Sherry] for staying for two years."

Shirley Mills replied, "You don't get everything solved by everybody getting along. You have to have discussions. It doesn't mean we're criticizing you. I appreciate all the improvements you made. I think Teresa isn't criticizing Gary, she's just trying to get him to step up. That's not bickering, that's asking. All the council members need to step and make sure the finances are being taken care of."

Kirk said, "I'll be the first one to say i was caught totally off guard. I was given false information. ... We asked for budget reports every month but we didn't get them. There was always an excuse. These girls have done a fantastic job."

Mills said she appreciates the city hall employees. She said she does speak her mind and she wasn't elected to come in and "schmooze along with everyone else and get along great." She said she doesn't want to bicker and argue, she just wants action.

"We've been in here since May and we have accomplished not diddly squat except what we've accomplished since you guys (the new city clerk and treasurer) have gotten in here
and got stuff straightened out. Pretty much other than that we've not gotten anything done."

Anderson replied that they are moving forward on the water plant.

Kirk concurred. "We are moving forward we have gotten off high center," he said. "I think having someone who's always wanting to present a view point even though they know everyone's not going to agree with it, because they know it's right - there's nothing wrong with that. That's a strong thing."

City Attorney Shane McLaury said he wanted to speak to the legalities of what was going on. He said he spoke with Mills and Anderson separately about the causes and procedures for removal from office and he wanted to make sure the other council members understood. This ordinance is mirrored on state law. It allows removal of appointed and hired officers and employees from office, but does not apply to elected officials such a council member or the mayor.

"I think Teresa did want to voice her concerns and she's done a very good job of that tonight and she's had support from some of the citizens and each of you have too," he said. "In my opinion there's not really any action to take against the mayor on this other than voice concerns as Teresa has been doing."

McLaury went on to say that in order to remove an elected official from office it has to be done by the state district attorney or by the attorney general's office according to state law. He recommended going on and proceeding past the matter.

No action was required.

During public participation Shirley Mills asked how much money is being saved by the trash service switching to poly carts instead of dumpsters. Mayor Anderson replied that it's hard to tell, but at least $5 per customer. Teresa Mills said she has heard a lot of negative feedback regarding the change; city hall employees reported the same.

Kirk said he originally was against them, but after learning about the service offered by IESI and studying the pros and cons he decided they are a good idea. Positive aspects of the poly carts include: absolute control over personal trash with the container remaining on your property until it's dumped; the city's expense of keeping roll off boxes for bulky items will be over because large items will be picked up by IESI at the curb; anyone unable to move their cart to the street has only to let them know and they will collect the cart and return it to their house; anyone needing an extra cart may request it for an extra $5.95 per month.

Kirk stated that all other similar size cities have gone to the carts and it was inevitable that we would have to switch eventually. Businesses will still have dumpsters in the alleys. Concerns were voiced about country people using the dumpsters. City Attorney Shane McLaury said there is a 1993 ordinance against unauthorized use of dumpsters.

Biddle told the council that the budget amendment items and grant reimbursement were tied together. She and treasurer Patti Locklear discovered that funds from a REAP grant had not been reimbursed to the Street & Alley fund, so that account has an extra $17,902.09. The fire department account had not received funds from a State of Oklahoma annual grant totaling $5,100, and $18,843.75 from a Dept. of Civil Emergency Management storm sirens grant had not been reimbursed to the city hall account. Also, some payroll expenses which were actually SPWA had not been reimbursed to the city hall account. These reimbursements brought all budget balances back in the black, but the budgets will have to be amended at a later date.

Police department spending has long been a bone of contention with the council. Mills suggested that 24/7 patrols are not needed. Hours could be cut back with an officer on call who would only be paid if called out. Kiowa County Sheriff Department assured her that any time the city should have a lapse in coverage, if the officer could not be reached, they would be glad to step in and assist.


Assistant Chief Terry Taylor said he has been working on the scheduling and they are trying to cut back as much as possible but we also want to provide 24 hour coverage for the citizens

There was some discussion about dissatisfaction with Chief Johnny McBee, who was not present at the meeting although his department budget was on the agenda. Several citizens said they never see him outside the office - he needs to be more visible and seen out on the streets. Tannah Abernathy asked what the chief does. Taylor replied that he is responsible for all administrative and other daily business. The mayor was very defensive of the chief.

Another complaint was about the door to the police station being kept locked. Several agreed that the door should be unlocked whenever an officer is present in the office.

Biddle said that you have to know how much money you have and how much you need to spend and these correct figures were not previously provided to the council.

Anderson said department heads will participate in the budget process this year.

Kirk made a motion for all department heads to present a report of what they might be possible budgetary savings during the remainder of this fiscal year. The reports will be due at the next special council meeting scheduled for March 29. Motion was approved.

Establishing fees for water and sewer service was tabled again due to Ronny Jones, representative of Rural Development, not being able to attend.

Kirk commented on how good it is to see citizens attending the meeting and voicing their opinions.

Anderson reported a place has been approved for burning tree limbs from the ice storm. Department of Environmental Quality and two other agencies had to approve the site. Residents may place their limbs by the street and the city crews will pick them up.

The council meeting was adjourned and Public Works Authority was called to order at 8:26 p.m.



Snyder Public Works Authority
Under public participation Bill Ford stated his water bill is about three times higher than normal. Biddle said she would put out a work order for his meter to be checked, and if it is faulty his bill will be averaged.

Funds transferred from SPWA to the city account as per discussion in the council meeting was approved and water and sewer fees were also tabled.

Final contract with IESI for trash service was approved after minor adjustments requested by McLaury had been made. Mills voted no.

Carol Middick made a presentation to the council regarding the possibility of building a water bottling company when the new water plant is built. She said the city could clear $86,400 per year from such a business, plus jobs would be created. Her main point was that the city should not sell any more water to entities such as CKT without looking at other options.

Council members thought the idea has some merit and would be worth checking out after the new water plant is built.

Randy Archer, member of the water plant advisory committee, explained again the findings of the committee. He listed the three options: number one choice - building a reverse osmosis plant which will need a supplemental water source; building a chloramine plant with surface water from Tom Steed; or at the very minimum repairing the existing plant.

The council approved a motion by Kirk to accept the findings of the committee, and extend the authority to the committee to investigate financing of the plant.

The next council meeting will be the regular monthly meeting, March 15.

Snyder City Council and Public Works February regular meetings

Snyder Public Works Authority received recommendations for a new water plant from the water plant advisory committee at their regular meeting February 16 with Mayor Gary Anderson, council members Teresa Mills and Clay Oxley in attendance. Councilmen Bob Sproat and Spud Kirk were absent.


Randy Archer spoke for the committee, stating that their recommendation was strictly technical and funding options were up to the council. He said their findings indicate the best strategy for the city would be a reverse osmosis (RO) plant with well water to be blended with water from Tom Steed Reservoir.


The current facility is "close to disastrous," Archer said, and the city cannot continue to sell water to CKT in the future without going above and beyond Steed water. If the city opts to continue with only lake water, a less expensive chloramine plant used, but chloramine plants may only be accepted by DEQ for a few more years.


Just doing minimum repairs and upgrading the existing plant or going with a choloramine plant would only be a "bandaid" and something else would have to be done in another eight or nine years. Since the one thing Snyder can make money on is water, it seems sensible to build a water plant that will last into the future.


OERB, Rural Water Board, and federal stimulus money are possible sources of funding for a new facility. The authority will take action on the committee's recommendations at a special meeting Monday, March 1 at 7 p.m.

Also addressed at the meeting was a request from the Town of Mountain Park to have their water bill adjusted due to a faulty check valve causing their water usage to appear to be about three times normal. The authority agreed to allow them to pay an averaged bill with any needed adjustment to be made in April after the new valve has been installed.

City Clerk Tammy Biddle reported the second of two letters will be included in the March 1 water bills. She said there had been quite a bit of negative feedback about the letters, and explained that they are required by DEQ due to the water plant being under a consent order and should not be a cause for alarm.


Other business included approving resolutions for fees trash and community service and fire transfer fees, effective March 1; approval of minutes of the January 19 regular meeting, Feb. 5, special meeting, and Feb. treasurer's report; and encumbering payroll, first of month purchase orders, warrants and claims.

Fees for water and sewer service will be voted on at the March 1 special meeting.



Council conducts routine business, heated discussion
Snyder City Council convened in their regular monthly meeting at 8 p.m., February 16, following the Public Works Authority meeting. Mayor Gary Anderson and council members Teresa Mills and Clay Oxley were present; Bob Sproat and Spud Kirk were absent.

The council conducted routine business, approving resolutions establishing fees for trash service, community service and fire transfer fees effective March 1; appointing the water superintendent (Mark Shelton) as Floodplain Administrator; approving final contract for trash service with IESI; and amending an ordinance relating to employee holiday fringe benefits due to Columbus day being removed from the city calendar as a holiday. Also approved was a statement of "Intent to Continue Participation with Red River Transportation Service."


An ordinance amending the amount the mayor, vice mayor or other city official designated by the city council as purchasing officer, is allowed to spend without council approval from $7,500 to $2,500 was approved. Mayor Anderson suggested the amount be lowered to $5,000, but was overruled.


The council voted to advertise for a swimming pool manager and agreed that no contractor will be needed for maintenance and repairs to the pool.


The Animal Control Officer duty description was reviewed and approved, which also assigns the ACO as Snyder Code Enforcement Officer, responsible for enforcement of non-related federal, state, and local statutes and names him to assist other departments with non-routine issues as determined immediately necessary by mayor or other department heads and to perform non-related work as required. The council tabled sending ACO Jerry Taylor to a code enforcement training pending further study. Evidently the state legislature voted in 2008 to require training for any officer who enforces local or state statutes.


The council agreed to utilize inmate labor to complete basic repairs and tune-up of the animal control truck.


Minutes of the Jan. 19 regular meeting and Feb. 5 special meeting and Feb. treasurer's report were approved. Minutes of a Feb. 2 emergency meeting were questioned by Mayor Anderson. He asked city attorney Shane McLaury if it was a legal meeting since he was not notified of the meeting. The meeting was called during the ice storm by Vice Mayor Teresa Mills and two council members who were all at city hall. McLaury stated there was a quorum so it was okay, but suggested in the future that an attempt should be made to contact all council members. The minutes were approved with Mayor Anderson casting a "no" vote.


Payroll of $24,563.17 and first of the month purchase orders, warrants and claims totaling $61,835.47 were encumbered. It was noted that this figure includes payment of some past due bills and taxes which are being caught up from 2008.


Under new business Mills asked why the item "Pursuant to Section 1-150 of Snyder Code of Ordinances (1988), regarding the removal of officers from office (Mayor)," she had requested be on the agenda was removed. Mayor Anderson stated he was under the impression that it required a 10 day notice, but McLaury said it does not. Anderson apologized and said it would be placed on the Mar. 1 special meeting agenda.
