In addition, the City Council approved the final plat of Oak Tree Business Park at their October 1 meeting. Currently, we are working with RCB Bank and their attorney to finalize loan documents so that we may close the loan. A special meeting has been scheduled for Monday, October 7 at 7:30 p.m. to pass OEDA Resolution #96 -01, authorizing incurrence of debt, waiving competitive bidding, and authorizing the Chairman, Vice Chairman, and Secretary to sign and execute all documents necessary to accomplish closing of the loan. The meeting should last no longer than 10 to 15 minutes. Once loan proceeds are received, we can close on the remaining two acres of land, and sign and execute contracts with both Brown Construction Company (ONG Work Center) and Yocham Enterprises (Infrastructure). After all contracts have been signed and executed by all parties and Mr. Cates has reviewed the contract documents, a notice to proceed will be issued and work can begin. Loan closing is imminent. The sewer line has been redesigned by the Owasso Public Works Department and should save us some money. The new design requires easements from the Edison's and the Smiths, eliminating the need to get an easement from the Caudle's. Mr. Cates has been working with the Edisons and is meeting with them to negotiate the needed easement. MEMORANDUM TO: THE OWASSO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY CITY OF OWASSO FROM: ANGELA HENDERSON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR SUBJECT: ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT REPORT DATE: October 4, 1996 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT NEWS: 1) MINGO VALLEY SHOPPING CENTER - Twenty -First Century Properties filed for a building permit last month to build the Mingo Valley Shopping Center between Wal -Mart and Drug Mart. Cost of the building is estimated to be $700,000.00. According to the developer, much of the retail space is already leased. 2) OKLAHOMA DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE - In July, the Oklahoma Department of Commerce announced a new strategy for statewide economic development, "Developing Oklahoma's Local Economies." Tom Kimball attended the meeting at the invitation of Governor Frank Keating and brought back both the report and the new regional economic development staffing plan. Both are attached for your review. CURRENT PROJECTS: 1) PENNWELL PRINTING COMPANY - The OEDA's proposal to PennWell Printing Company was delivered to the Oklahoma Department of Commerce Tulsa Office September 20. Todd Klabenes, who is assisting PennWell with plans for relocation, called last week to let us know that they have received the proposal and will be conducting site visits in the next few weeks. PennWell also sponsored a golf tournament at Bailey Golf Ranch Sunday, September 22. We put signs out at the entrance welcoming them and at the exit, thanking them for visiting Owasso. I sent a memo to each of you last week with a copy of the letter we received from PennWell President Larry Cox. In the letter, Mr. Cox indicated that Sand Springs and Wagoner had not submitted bids. Communities submitting bids were Owasso, Pryor (Mid- America Industrial Park), Bartlesville, and Bixby. Bartlesville was cut from the original short list, but requested to submit a proposal anyway. Bixby is being proposed as a relocation site by Tulsa. I will keep you posted as further developments occur.

I would like to schedule that work session and will be contacting each of you in coming days to determine what dates and times best fit your schedules. 4) I am also preparing to begin work on the "New Business Owner's Guide" (working title), which will detail information about doing business in Owasso and Tulsa County, including a checklist for new businesses including information on obtaining occupancy permits, tax information, labor and employment issues, etc. Your input to this guide is critical to its success, so any ideas, thoughts, or constructive comments are welcome!

This second step of the cycle asks the question, "Where do we want to be ?" In responding to the step, the local economy develops an achievable view of where it would like to be at a selected point in its future. The, third step is the Planning phase. During this period, the local economy -based on its findings in the first two phases - .develops and finalizes an action plan for economic growth.
