Subsequent to a telephone conversation on Wednesday, September 10, the City staff received
correspondence from OD OT asking that the City of Owasso apply for up to $750,000 in STP
funds. The ODOT has also extended the application deadline for Owasso in order to allow that
application. There are indications that an Owasso application would be most favorably received.
Those indications are from both state and INCOG sources.

it. The state "adjusted" the "urban boundary" to include Owasso in order to provide funds
from the urban portion of the "STP".
4. In order to give every advantage to the application, the staff believes that the application
should be made for funds to widen 86th Street (the bond issue project between Dogwood
and the west limits of the city). The project is already designed and, with minor changes,
is ready to proceed to bid.
5. The addition of $750,000 to the $6,000,000 bond issue street projects and the approximate
$1,000,000 76th & Highway 169 intersection project would give Owasso a total of almost
$8,000,000 in street projects funded this year.
