TO: The Honorable Chair and Trustees
Owasso Public Works Authority (OPWA)
FROM: Chris Garrett
Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: Owasso Redbud District and Increment District No.
Development and Financing Agreement
DATE: July 14, 2022
BACKGROUND:
In December 2016, the OPWA created the Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District in the downtown
Owasso Redbud District area. On April 4, 2017, the OPWA adopted a Policy Guide for the
processing of TIF Assistance in Development Financing applications.
The Policy Guide includes the process for application and approval of Development Project
Assistance. A developer seeking assistance submits an application to the Application Review
Committee. The Committee reviews the application for compatibility with the Project Plan and
the Downtown Overlay District Plan, evaluates the qualifications of the applicant, and
recommends appropriate performance parameters and requirements. Upon recommendation
by the Committee, the development agreement is presented to the OPWA for consideration and
approval.
An application has been received from 5th Ave Business Park, LLC, for development assistance on
the project known as the 51h Ave Business Park located on the southwest corner of 5th Avenue and
Owasso Expressway. The application and supporting materials were sent to the Center for
Economic Development Law (CEDL), the firm that has represented the City of Owasso and guided
the creation of the Tax Increment District. CEDL returned the attached contract for consideration.
The project appears to meet the criteria set forth in the adopted TIF Project Plan and also to meet
the requirements set forth in the adopted Owasso Redbud District and Increment District No. 1
Policy Guide. As established by the Project Plan and Policy Guide, the applicant would be eligible
to receive reimbursement of 1217o of Hard Construction Costs. The application anticipates
construction costs of $7,850,000.00, which would result in a reimbursement not to exceed
$942,000.00 to 5th Ave Business Park, LLC. The contract further outlines obligations of the City and
the developer as required in approved TIF documents.
RECOMMENDATION:
On June 1, 2022, the Review Committee met and voted unanimously to recommend approval to
the OPWA, finding that the project is eligible to receive TIF assistance.

claiming under or through it establish or permit any such practice or practices of discrimination
or segregation with reference to the selection, location, number, use or occupancy of tenants,
lessees, subtenants, sublessees, or vendees of the Project Site. The covenant established in this
Section shall, without regard to technical classification and designation, be binding for the
benefit and in favor of the Authority, its successors and assigns and any successor in interest to

be subject to a minimum annual ad valorem payment (whether classified, in whole or in part, as a
tax payment or an in lieu of payment) obligation in the amount of not less than $70,000.00 for the
first year in which the minimum ad valorem tax payment is payable as set forth herein (the
"Minimum Annual Payment'), which shall continue in effect for each year thereafter through the
duration of the Increment District (the "Minimum Annual Payment Period ").
3. Obligation to Pay Minimum Annual Payment. Subject to Section 8 of this
Covenant Agreement, during the Minimum Annual Payment Period, the Owner of the Property
(and any successors in interest) will pay not less than the Minimum Annual Payment of ad valorem
taxes (or will make a payment in lieu of taxes in the Minimum Annual Payment amount). During
the Minimum Annual Payment Period, if the county assessment ratios, levy rates, or taxable
assessed values that are in effect for any subsequent fiscal year prior to the termination of the
Increment District result in an ad valorem tax liability that is less than the Minimum Annual
Payment amount, the Owner of the Property (and any successors in interest) shall, in addition to
paying ad valorem taxes on the property based on the county assessment ratios, levy rates, and
taxable assessed values then in effect, make a payment in lieu of ad valorem taxes in the amount of
the difference between (i) the ad valorem tax calculation then in effect, and (ii) the Minimum
Annual Payment amount.
4. Payments in Lieu of Ad Valorem Taxes. During the Minimum Annual Payment
Period, if all or a portion of the Property is exempt from ad valorem taxes (whether resulting from
ownership of such real or personal property by a public or private tax- exempt entity or a lease or
sublease of such property to a public or private tax - exempt entity), the Owner of the Property (and
any successors in interest) shall make (or cause to be made) payments in lieu of ad valorem taxes
with respect to the real property and/or personal property to which such exemption applies,
commencing in any year in which such ad valorem tax exemption is in effect and terminating upon
the first to occur of termination of such ad valorem tax exemption or termination of the Increment
District.
5. Lien Securing Minimum Annual Payment Obligations. The Minimum Annual
Payment obligations of the Property pursuant to the covenants in this Covenant Agreement are
secured by a lien (or liens) on the Property in favor of Tulsa County, Oklahoma ( "County ") for the
benefit of the apportionment fund of the Increment District arising annually at the same time, in
the same manner, having the same priority, and subject to the same enforcement and remedies as
liens to secure the annual payments of other ad valorem taxes, which lien or liens may also be
evidenced by written notice executed by or on behalf of the County, OPWA, or the duly authorized
designee of OPWA and filed in the records of the County Clerk of Tulsa County, and which lien or
liens may also be enforced by the County, OPWA, or on its behalf by its authorized designee by
foreclosure in the same manner as foreclosure of a mortgage.
2
6. Covenants Running with the Land. The covenants in this Covenant Agreement
shall run with the land described herein as the Property. The County, OPWA, and the City shall
each be deemed a beneficiary of the covenants in this Covenant Agreement, and such covenants
shall run in favor of the County, OPWA, and the City for the entire period during which such
covenants shall be in force and effect. As such beneficiaries, in the event of any breach of such
covenants, the County (or OPWA and the City, if the County does not elect to exercise its rights
and remedies) shall have the right to exercise all the rights and remedies, and to maintain any
actions at law or suits in equity or other proper proceedings to enforce the curing of such breach, to
which beneficiaries of such covenant may be entitled; provided, however, that in all such events,
OPWA, and /or the City, as applicable, shall be required to provide notice of any such breach to all
lienholders of record at such notice address as is provided in such record document prior to the
exercise of any of its rights and remedies hereunder; further provided, however, that the failure to
provide such notice shall not prevent the exercise of any of its rights and remedies hereunder.
7. Timing of Minimum Annual Payment. The Minimum Annual Payment shall
be made by March 31 of each year to the Tulsa County Treasurer.
8. No Personal Liability; Right to Dispute Any Tax Increases. In no event shall the
covenants in this Covenant Agreement constitute a personal liability of the Owner (or its
respective successors and assigns), nor will the Owner of the Property (or any successors in
interest of any portion of the Property) be prevented from disputing any proposed increased ad
valorem taxes that may be in excess of the Minimum Annual Payment amount. In the event of a
default in payment of the Minimum Annual Payment obligation, the beneficiaries of the Minimum
Annual Payment pursuant to this Covenant Agreement shall look exclusively to the Property for
satisfaction thereof and shall not seek or obtain a personal judgment against the Owner or its
respective successors or assigns.
9. Termination of Ad Valorem Tax Covenants. The covenants in this Covenant
Agreement shall terminate upon the termination or dissolution of the Increment District, and, upon
such termination or dissolution of the Increment District, shall be extinguished and of no further
force and effect.
The parties have executed and delivered this Covenant Agreement as of the day and year
first above written.
