Owasso City Council July 9,2001 Mr Ray discussed items 2 & 3 as one. For several months staff has been involved in discussions with representatives from the cities of Jenks, Bixby and Sand Springs, the Rogers County Industrial Authority, PSO, and the Metropolitan Tulsa Chamber of Commerce regarding economic development efforts. It is proposed that these entities joint together to form a regional economic development consortium. PSO and the five cities would contribute $25,000 in cash, and the Tulsa Chamber would provide a maximum of $25,000 in matching services. An economic development specialist would serve under the direction of the Tulsa Chamber's Economic Development Manager, but would focus on the priorities of the consortium. The OED A Trustees have discussed the consortium and have voted to support the regional approach to economic development, contingent upon the transfer of funds from the City. The FY 2001-02 budget contained a $35,000 appropriation in the Economic Development Department which was not used. Staff will request that $25,000 for that amount be carried over to the FY 2002-03 budget and then transferred from the General Fund to the OEDA Fund. These two requests will be on the agenda for the regular City Council meeting on July 16th. ITEM 5: DISCUSSION RELATING TO PUBLIC WORKS ISSUES. A.
