following:<br />

• establishing Police divisions and building briefing stations,<br />
• locating and building libraries,<br />

• Functional Classification and Streets plans.<br />
The recommendations included in these plans be evaluated for conformance to the <strong>OKC</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>. In<br />

amendments.<br />
