Attachment #10 - "Update on Lagoon Fill Project" Will Be Delivered Under Separate Cover OWASSO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY 1996 -97 STRATEGY AND LONG -RANGE GOALS ROUGH DRAFT - JULY 5, 1996 BACKGROUND: Founded as a public trust in 1987, the Owasso Economic Development Authority (OEDA) has been instrumental in the economic growth of Owasso. The overarching goal of the OEDA over its nine year history has been creation of jobs for the community's ever - increasing population. Central to the Authority's success is optimal location. Owasso is located 10 miles from Tulsa International Airport, _ miles from the Tulsa Port of Catoosa's inland waterway, and directly between the north -south routes of U.S. Highway 75 and U.S. Highway 169. The Authority works with prospects to identify and make use of the state's many tax incentive programs, provides assistance with financing business development, and secures Community Development Block Grant monies to finance infrastructure improvements as they relate to economic development. VISION: The Owasso Economic Development Authority envisions a community that fosters free enterprise, a city where residents may live and work comfortably and peacefully, and where entrepreneurs may successfully own and operate a business. GOALS: - Fostering a business - friendly environment in Owasso - Assuring current and future residents a "stay option" - Retaining and expanding existing businesses - Assisting and encouraging start -up businesses - Recruiting businesses from outside our area who may wish to relocate or expand in the Owasso area - Identifying products and services not currently available in Owasso and encouraging development of those businesses OEDA STRATEGY July 5, 1996 Page 2 of 7 ASSEMBLE AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT "TOOLBOX" 1.

Work on the ONG Project has been moving along since our last meeting. Advertisements for bids have appeared in the newspaper and trade journals. Contractors interested in purchasing plans and specifications for either the ONG Work Center or Infrastructure, or both, should contact me or Marcia Boutwell. I have been in contact with all property owners from whom sewer line easements will need to be obtained. Mr. Cates and I will be meeting with all of them within the month. The Developmental Agreement between ONG, OEDA, and RCB Bank is also nearing completion. OWASSO COMMERCIAL PROPERTY DATABASE - Letters were sent June 24 to all real estate companies in the Owasso area to catalog all commercial buildings and properties available within our area. One of the top economic development needs that has been identified is development of a true commercial property database for use with economic development prospects. The process is to first receive responses from area real estate companies regarding available commercial properties by July 12, 1996. Next, Mr. Mike Knebel, Computer Specialist for the City of Owasso, and I plan to identify and develop an efficient database system that will provide the desired output. Third, once the system is set up and input of initial information is complete, a courtesy call will be made to area real estate companies on a monthly basis to update, add, and delete commercial property information. A copy of the letter and the accompanying paperwork are attached. If, when you are driving around town, you see a sign advertising commercial property, would you please contact me with the location, contact name and phone number, and any other information you can obtain from the signage. U.S. HIGHWAY 169 ENHANCEMENT PROJECT - At the request of Owasso Public Works Director Robert Carr, a letter has been sent to Mr. Neil McCaleb, Director of the Oklahoma Department of Transportation, to request assistance with obtaining a Federal Highway Enhancement Grant from the Federal Highway Administration to beautify U.S. Highway 169 from 76th Street North to 86th Street North. The letter from Chairman Tom Kimball to Mr. McCaleb is attached. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR'S REPORT July 5, 1996 Page 2 of 2 OTHER PROJECTS: OEDA STRATEGY - Included in your agenda packet this month is an updated draft of the OEDA Strategy. You will notice that a detailed timeline and schedule of events is included at the back of the strategy packet. Comments about the strategy framework as presented last month have been slow in coming, so any comments you might have between now and Thursday's OEDA meeting would be most beneficial. I have also asked for comment from the other department directors at the City of Owasso as many have been through the process of developing a mission statement and vision for their departments. Owasso Economic Development Authority 207 South Cedar PO Box 180 Owasso, OK 74055 June 24, 1996 Gentlemen: (918) 272 -2251 FAX (918) 272 -4999 Construction of a commercial building and property database for the City of Owasso is currently under way! To accomplish the goal of developing a commercial property database, the Owasso Economic Development Authority would like to ask for your assistance and that of each associate in your office. The Owasso Commercial Property Database will allow the OEDA to quickly and efficiently identify available property within the Owasso fenceline for economic development prospects. Additionally, the database will help you, as a local realtor, to market your property listings to a preferred audience. Here's how the database will work: First, all commercial property and buildings within the Owasso fenceline will be cataloged. In addition, detailed information about each property will be collected. Enclosed you will find copies of site and building inventory sheets. Your assistance in completing and returning this information on all current commercial properties you list would be appreciated. Please fill out one sheet per listing and provide as much detail as possible. Second, once property information is received, it will be entered on the computer and a hard copy of the information will be kept on file. Third, the database will be updated regularly. Each month you will receive a courtesy call from the City ofOwasso Economic DevelopmentDepartmentrequesting any additional listings, corrections, or deletions for the Owasso Commercial Property Database. If at any time a property is sold or leased or if new commercial property is listed, please contact our office at 272 -2251. This will assist us in keeping the database current and will avoid marketing properties that are no longer available. Please make as many copies of the enclosed property data sheets as necessary to catalog your commercial Property listings. The recommended return date for this information is Friday, July 12, 1996. Should you have any questions or concerns in the meantime, please contact me at 272 -2251.

In early March, Mr. Robert Carr, City of Owasso Public Works Director, held discussions with Mr. Ed Kellogg, Oklahoma Department of Transportation Tulsa District Engineer, to determine the feasibility of removing the existing wood post and wire fencing along Highway 169 from 76th Street to 86th Street. While Mr. Kellogg agreed that the existing fencing is unsightly, he felt that the fence would need to be replaced to ensure limited access by pedestrians. He agreed to work with the city to develop a plan that would eliminate the existing fencing and provide for a more attractive "front door" to our community. Mr. Carr was presented with an option of using a decorative plastic four -rail fence in lieu of chain -link fencing or other materials. Rough estimates of cost for the fencing has been calculated in the range of $65,000- 75,000. Mr. Kellogg initially stated that ODOT could potentially participate in replacing the fence only to the amount of funds that would be required to remove and replace the existing materials, which was estimated at $20,000- 25,000. Under this plan, the remaining $40,000- 50,000 would have been contributed by the City of Owasso. Current funding does not allow the city to make that level df commitment to the project. Alternatively, Mr. Carr proposed that Federal Highway Enhancement money may be available for this project. Mr. Kellogg has confirmed that the money may be available for this project if landscaping could be added. My understanding is that funding for enhancement projects is 80 percent federal funding and 20 percent local funding. It is anticipated that the total project cost will be approximately $100,000, with the City's share of the project estimated at $20,000 (less any in -kind contribution). The city has included these funds in the Fiscal Year 1996 -97 Budget. The Owasso Public Works Department has prepared a plan for the project that incorporates trees, shrubs, and plants. The plan was presented to Mr. Kellogg and forwarded to ODOT for approval. Obviously, this project will significantly enhance the Highway 169 corridor through Owasso and will have a positive effect on the image of this city, which is so crucial to our success in economic development. Any assistance you could provide to expedite the process of approval and authorization for the city to proceed with development of this project would be appreciated. . Sincerely, OWASSO ECONOMIC EVELOPM NT AUTHORITY Tom Kimball Chairman
