ITEM 5: CONSIDERATION AND APPROPRIATE ACTION RELATING TO A REQUEST
FOR APPROVAL OF THE EXPANSION OF THE OWASSO ONG FACILITY
Mr. Hayes introduced Mr. Jerry Hixson, Tulsa North Metro Area ONG Manager, who explained
that ONG is streamlining their operations. Phase I involved the construction of a new facility at
71" St. S. and Union, the West Tulsa Metro Facility. Phase II involves the expansion of the
Owasso yard. The customer base served from this facility has doubled since it was constructed,
as has the number of employees. Plans are to close a facility on 15th St. S., and serve those
customers from the Owasso facility. It has become necessary to provide more area for the
additional vehicles and equipment needed to take care of the additional work. The current
proposed project involves the yard only, with no modifications of the existing facility. Major
components of the plan are:
• Install approximately 26,000 square feet of asphalt paving
• Install approximately 18,000 square feet of concrete paving
• Install exit drive at south end of property
• Relocate 400 linear feet of chain link fence
• Install security gates at service yard entry and exit
• Install fully functional card access system to building entries
• Install additional light fixtures and poles as needed
• Install additional CNG (compressed natural gas) facilities required for additional fleet.
There was discussion regarding the screening and landscaping requested by Mr. & Mrs. Smith
when they gave the land donation. Mr. Enzbrenner moved, seconded by Ms. Lawrence, to
approve the requested expansion of the Owasso ONG facility yard, subject to assurance by ONG
that they will install proper landscaping and fencing in keeping with the spirit of the land
donation.
AYE: Enzbrenner, Lawrence, Yandell, Sokolosky, Akin, Kimball
NAY: None
Motion carved 6 -0.
ITEM 6: UPDATE FROM ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR.
Mr. Hayes introduced Public Works Director Robert Carr who distributed and discussed a
project status report, as well as concept drawings for the striping of Main Street. Mr. Carr
concluded by introducing the character trait for the month of January — Faith. Community
Development Director Eric Wiles provided an update on development during 2002. The City of
Owasso recorded a record number of housing starts. Mr. Hayes reported that the Economic
Development web site has been updated. He also reported that an IHOP restaurant will be
locating at Owasso Market.

In the absence of Mr. Ray, Mr. Hayes reported that Code Red Underground Utilities has been

Authority specifically for the purpose of discussing downtown redevelopment instead of trying
to do it at a regular meeting.

SUBJECT: ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR'S REPORT
DATE: February 12, 2003
Traffic count data continues to be collected on various intersections around town. These numbers
are very important in attracting retail clients. The numbers are astounding and will be used to
provide the most current information available to prospective clients, developers, and other
interested parties. A map showing traffic counts was a goal for the first quarter of 2003, and has
just been completed. Construction continues to progress on the 70h and 86th street projects, and
is moving forward at a good pace.
I told you last month that I have been working with a potential new industry for the city. The
company is a plastics manufacturing firm that markets it's products to the food service industry.
Owasso is on the "short list" of potential sites. Pechiney Plastics is a French owned company that
has nearly 40 locations world wide with about 20 locations in the United States. The
headquarters in the United States is Chicago. We made a presentation to Pechiney in Tulsa on
January 23, and since then have continued to work hard on the deal. Meetings with SK &O
railroad, ODOT, INCOG, and others are promising. Discussions are ongoing and I will keep you
posted as the deal develops. The company will make an initial investment of up to 9 million
dollars and will employ 60 employees in the city. The site in Owasso and a site in the Cherokee
Industrial park are the two finalist in the search for a location.
I have been sending out marketing packets at a very fast pace, and get several requests for the
material each week. We have a "quality of life" packet in layout form and have a couple of the
pages finished. An "industrial" marketing tool was developed for the Pechiney presentation. The
marketing tool is very versatile and is easily adaptable for customizing for individual customers
The Economic Development page on the City of Owasso's web site has been updated and will be
accessed not only by citizens of Owasso but also potential customers. The web page has a brand
new look and all the data from the marketing tool is included. The web page had not been
updated in a couple of years, and all the information was outdated and not relevant to anyone
seeking information about the City of Owasso. The web site, which has just been up for a couple
of weeks, has over 150 hits and is averaging nearly 10 hits a day. I recently heard from
representatives from a national drug chain that wants to locate in Owasso that the web site was
so comprehensive and the material so thorough that only a couple of specific questions about
speed limits and local zoning had to be asked. The representative stated that ours was the best
web site they had ever seen. I believe the world wide web is a sea of opportunity for the
economic development of the City of Owasso. The training I just completed indicated that web
page development was one of the keys to marketing our assets in Owasso to the rest of the world.
I participated in the first town hall meeting for citizens in January. The meeting was the first in a
four part series. The Community Development department discussed the importance of
comprehensive planning and answered questions from several citizens about different issues.
As always, if I can serve you in any way, please call.
MEMORANDUM
TO: THE HONORABLE CHAIR & TRUSTEES
OWASSO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
FROM: RICKEY HAYES
DIRECTOR OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION #2003 -01 MAIN STREET RE- STRIPING PROJECT
DATE: February 10,2003
BACKGROUND:
On November 1, 1999, the City of Owasso held a public meeting for the purpose of gaining
citizen input relating to potential projects for the development of a Main Street enhancement
project. Additionally the meeting was to provide information to the citizens of Owasso about
project options and to receive public input on those options. Several proposals were discussed
and the consensus was that the general public was not in favor of reducing the number of lanes
and placing raised medians on Main Street because of the limitations of left turns, reduction of
speed, and possible traffic congestion. One of the main problems was that the placing of raised
medians would make it difficult to enter some residential areas and driveways, and difficult to
enter some business locations along the Main Street corridor. The medians would also restrict
entering Main Street from side arterials and residential areas as well as business parking areas.
As a result of the citizen comments, the City determined that the best course of action would be
to abandon the "boulevard" concept and simply re- surface (overlay) the existing Main Street
roadway from 76' Street to 86' Street. That decision was then approved and the street was
overlaid in 2000 without any of the proposed amenities.
Recently the City staff has developed a plan that, if approved, would provide for a striping
concept for Main Street that could improve "left turn" movements, widen the driving lanes and
generally enhance the safety of using this north -south route between 76`h Street and 86 "' Street.
PRnP(ICAT.-
The proposal would create a center turn lane for left hand turn movements, reduce the number of
driving lanes from four to two and maintain the ease of access to the various neighborhoods. All
of the changes would occur as the result of striping the roadway and without the use of any
traditional "boulevard" restrictions.
It is the staff's intent to present this plan to the Owasso City Council for their review, comment,
and action. However, because of the involvement of the OEDA in the initiation, funding, and
development of the "Downtown Redevelopment Plan ", the staff believes it appropriate to request
both the OEDA's review and endorsement of the proposed Main Street striping project.
REQUEST:
This request is for OEDA review of the proposal and subsequent endorsement of the plan in the
form of a resolution asking for the City Council to approve the project.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Owasso Economic Development Authority approval of Resolution #2003-
01 supporting the Main Street Striping Plan as submitted by the City of Owasso Public Works
Department.
