Construction has begun and the first draw upon the account has been made. In addition, interest has begun accruing, and the first interest payment of approximately $350.00 is due. Oklahoma Natural Gas Company has requested that the interest due be paid out of the loan proceeds. In visiting with Mr. Frank Enzbrenner, RCB Bank of Owasso is amenable to this arrangement. If the Owasso Economic Development Authority concurs, the interest payments will be made from the loan proceeds, in effect rolling them back into the lease /purchase. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Owasso Economic Development Authority approve Oklahoma Natural Gas Company's request for disbursement of interest payments from loan proceeds on the ONG project.

This will enable us to move forward with plans to issue a notice to proceed to Yocham Enterprises for the Infrastructure portion of the project. Communications are on -going with Tulsa County and the Oklahoma Department of Transportation concerning the roadway improvements to the site. Excellent weather conditions in late December enabled the contractor to make significant progress. It was anticipated that masonry work would begin this week.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR'S REPORT January 6, 1997 Page 2 of 2 ON -GOING PROJECTS: 1) ALZHIEMER'S CENTER - Although progress has been slow on this project, an inquiry has been made of the Bailey Trust Authority concerning the purchase price of land. I visited with JoAnn Posey last week to discover that she has experienced some illness in her family. She said she would touch base with us later in the month to discuss progress. 2) ROADWAY EXPRESS - Visited with Glen Bynum at Roadway last week. Although he says they are in dire need of additional space, their parent company is not allowing them to spend any money to upgrade the existing facility or move to another facility. I extended the offer of our assistance and indicated that we are here to work with the company whenever they were ready to look at the possibility of relocating to Owasso.
