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
Small Business Enhancement Agreement
DATE: October 1, 2026
BACKGROUND
In December2016, 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 Small Business
Enhancements. Beginning July 1, 2019, Small Business Enhancements were made available to any
retail, restaurant, or personal service small business within the Increment District proposing to
enhance the exterior of the structure in which the business is located, provide streetscape
improvements, enhance signage or access, or otherwise improve the appearance of the exterior
of the business. The plan requires a Review Committee to evaluate the application for
compatibility with the Project Plan and the Downtown Overlay District Plan. Upon
recommendation by the Review Committee, a business enhancement agreement is presented
to the OPWA for consideration and approval.
In September 2026, District Burger submitted an application for assistance with a patio addition at
a property located at 202 S Dogwood Street. The applicant plans to include a fireplace and TVs
on the patio. The applicant hopes to increase customer seating and increase the curb appeal of
the property.
The project appears to meet the criteria set forth in the adopted Owasso Redbud District TIF
Project Plan and Policy Guide. As established by the Project Plan and Policy Guide, the applicant
would be eligible to receive reimbursement by the OPWA at the completion of the approved
improvements for 50% of the actual amount expended; however, the amount of reimbursement
shall not exceed $5,000.00. The applicant anticipates the improvements to total approximately
$40,000.00.
The Review Committee reviewed the application and voted unanimously to recommend
approval to the OPWA, finding that the project is eligible to receive TIF assistance.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval and execution of the agreement with District Burger and
authorization for payment in an amount not to exceed $5,000.00 for exterior improvements
located at 202 S Dogwood Street.

What impact would the proposed improvements have on your business? (Increased customer traffic,
increased sales, visibility, ability to add a new product or service, etc.)
Increased seating during warmer weather. Curve appeal of drive by customers. Offer a patio space to the Owasso
residents.
Why do you believe the proposed improvements are a worthy endeavor for your business?
We believe a patio with a fireplace and TVs outside will over extra seating during the warmer months. It will create
higher sales and more jobs in the community. We potentially will have to hire 3-4 more servers and maybe 2 enhancers
to offer services in the patio space. The patio could potentially increase yearly sales by
