medications, dosages, allergies, recent surgery, religion, and a health
care proxy. The sticker inside should be placed on the front door of a
person’s residence to alert responding medical personnel to locate the
entire pocket, which is held with a magnet to the outside of the
refrigerator. Packets can be obtained at any Ponca City Fire Station,

| Pioneer Technology Center |
2101 North Ash, 762-8336
Since 1973, the citizens of the Pioneer Technology Center (PTC) school
district have provided the resources and support needed to fulfill the
district’s mission of Enhancing Lives and Securing Futures. Through this
support, PTC is able to offer occupationally specific programs to
emergent workers in the career clusters of trade and industry, health,
family and consumer sciences, and business and information technology.
Each year, over 500 high school and adult students enroll in programs to
gain the knowledge and skills they need to find success in life.
In addition to providing programs for the emergent
workforce, Pioneer Technology Center provides an array of services for
existing companies, start-up businesses, and industries relocating into
their service area; as well as adults who want to update or enhance
existing job skills. Because they are a part of a statewide network of
technology centers, they have access to an unlimited pool of expertise
that can help companies be more profitable through increased efficiency,
quality standards, and certifications that qualify them to work
nationally and, in some cases, internationally. Each year over 8,000
individuals take advantage of these offerings that, in turn, enhance the
area’s business climate and economy, providing an increased number of
jobs within the district.
Along with quality occupationally specific programs,
Pioneer Technology Center offers programs that allow students to find
success in core academic subjects. Through the ABE/GED program, adult
students without a high school diploma can gain the knowledge needed to
earn a GED. Students whose native language is not English can take
advantage of English as a Second Language (ESL) classes. For high school
students at risk of not earning a high school diploma, PTC works with
partnering K-12 schools to provide academic enhancement and credit
recovery opportunities to assist them in meeting graduation
requirements.
Area juniors and seniors can take advanced science and
math coursework through the regional Oklahoma School of Science and
Mathematics (OSSM). The OSSM classes are available at Pioneer Tech,
allowing participating students to maintain their local high school
affiliation and extracurricular participation while living at home. At
PTC, they know that the foundation of success is a quality education,
and they have formed strong partnerships with other educational entities
to ensure that those opportunities exist for students of all ages.
Pioneer Technology Center is open Monday through
Thursday from 8 am to 9 pm and Friday from 8 am to 4:30 pm.
Call or visit the campus to enroll or for additional information on
programs and services. |

| Property Maintenance |
Property owners are required to maintain
their residences to provide aesthetic and safe surroundings to
themselves and their neighbors. The exteriors of structures are to be
maintained in a sound condition to prevent further deterioration or an
appearance that will cause neighborhood blight. Windows and doors must
be free of broken glass and torn screens. Wall surfaces should be
painted or covered with siding.
When properties are allowed to deteriorate, they inevitably become
dilapidated, and as such are an immediate fire and/or safety hazard.
State of Oklahoma statutes allow municipalities, after due process, to
have dilapidated buildings demolished, the costs of removal then
becoming a lien on the property. |

| Weeds And Grass Abatement |
Weeds include, but are not limited to,
poison ivy, poison oak, poison sumac, and all vegetation at any state of
maturity that exceed 12 inches in height, except healthy trees, shrubs,
or produce for human consumption grown in a tended and cultivated
garden, unless such trees and shrubbery constitute a hazard by their
density or location. The term weeds does not include tended crops on
land zoned for agricultural use which are planted more than 50 feet from
a parcel zoned other than agricultural.
Weeds constitute a detriment to the health, safety and welfare of the
public. Regardless of height, weeds harbor, conceal or invite
accumulation of refuse or trash; harbor rodents or vermin; give off
unpleasant or noxious odors; and constitute a fire or traffic hazard.
The administrative officer designated to carry out the duties of the
governing body in regards to weeds and grass is the Municipal Judge. |
