TO: The Honorable Chair and Trustees
Owasso Public Works Authority (OPWA)
FROM: Carly Novozinsky, Finance Director
SUBJECT: Owasso Redbud District and Increment District No. 1
Development and Financing Agreement
Covenant Agreement
Joint Resolution
DATE: July 11, 2025
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.
PROJECT DETAILS:
An application has been received from West Family Development, LLC, for development
assistance on a project located on Main Street, between Broadway Street and 1:f Street.
The proposed project is the development of a unique mixed -use building that includes
construction of a new 20,000 square foot public library on the lower floor, and 50,000 square feet
of residential apartments on the upper floor. Also included is the necessary parking, access points,
and public improvements.
Upon completion of the project, the public library portion of the development will be sold by West
Family Development, LLC to the Tulsa City -County Library (TCCL). Due to the public -private nature
of this development, only the private portion is being considered for development assistance. The
public portion of the project will be exempt from ad valorem taxes, making it ineligible to receive
development assistance in the form provided by in the TIF Policy Guide.
The project appears to meet the criteria set forth in the adopted TIF Project Plan and also to meet
the requirements outlined in the adopted Owasso Redbud District and Increment District No. 1
Policy Guide. Per the Project Plan and Policy Guide, the applicant would be eligible to receive
reimbursement of 10% of actual hard construction costs. Reimbursement will be provided through
90% of the ad valorem taxes assessed and received by the City for the subject development.
The proposed Development and Financing Agreement also establishes an annual minimum ad
valorem payment to be made by the developer. Should the amount billed to the developer by
the Tulsa County Assessor be less than $108,512 in any given year, the OPWA will bill the developer
TIF
Page 2
for the difference. The establishment of the minimum ad valorem payment provides protection
to the City and the OPWA in case the assessed value of the project is lower than is anticipated by
the developer.
The application anticipates construction costs of $11,130,000 for the private portion of the
development, resulting in development assistance of $1,113,000. The proposed Development
and Financing Agreement further outlines obligations of the City and the developer as required
in approved TIF documents.
COVENANT AGREEMENT:
Due to the unique nature of the proposed development, a Covenant Agreement, in addition to
the Development and Financing Agreement, is being proposed. The proposed Covenant
Agreement would be filed with Tulsa County and obligates the developer, and any future owner,
to pay the minimum ad valorem payment. This ensures that even if the development is sold to a
new owner, the minimum ad valorem payment would still be received.
APPLICATION REVIEW COMMITTEE:
On May 19, 2025, the Review Committee met and voted unanimously to recommend approval
to the OPWA, finding that the project is eligible to receive TIF assistance.
JOINT RESOLUTION:
In connection with the proposed development, TCCL has requested assistance from the City with
the relocation of a sanitary sewer line. This line must be relocated before construction can begin
on the proposed development.
As outlined in the proposed Joint Resolution, TCCL will facilitate the relocation of the sanitary sewer
line. Upon completion, it is proposed that the OPWA would reimburse TCCL for $150,000 of the
costs associated with the relocation.
Funding for the reimbursement is available from increment revenues in the OPWA TIF Fund.
APPLICATION REVIEW COMMITTEE:
On June 25, 2025, the Review Committee voted unanimously to recommend approval to the
OPWA, finding that the project is eligible to receive reimbursement through TIF assistance.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the Development and Financing Agreement with West Family
Development, LLC, and authorization to execute all necessary documents, pending the
submission of a revised legal description once the needed right-of-way closure is full executed.
Staff recommends approval of the Covenant Agreement with West Family Development, LLC,
and authorization to execute all necessary documents, pending the submission of a revised legal
description once the needed right-of-way closure is fully executed.
Staff recommends approval of Joint Resolution 2025-03 with the City -County Library Commission
of Tulsa County, and authorization to execute all necessary documents.

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,

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.
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, OP WA, 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.
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.
Timing of Payments In Lieu. The payments in lieu of taxes described in Sections
3 and 4 herein, if any, shall be made by March 31 of each year to the OPWA.
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.
