RESOLUTION #96 -02 AUTHORIZING AMENDMENT TO THE
DECLARATION OF TRUST CREATING THE OWASSO PUBLIC GOLF
AUTHORITY PROVIDING FOR TERMS THAT COINCIDE WITH TERMS
OF THE OWASSO CITY COUNCIL. AND AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF
ALL DOCUMENTS PERTAINING THERETO.
The Owasso Public Golf Authority was created as a public trust in August of 1989, with the City
of Owasso as beneficiary. The five original Trustees were provided with unlimited terms, which
allowed them to served until they resigned or were removed for cause. In January of 1992, the
Authority amended the Declaration of Trust to provide for fifteen year terms of the Trustees and
staggered those terms so all would not expire in the same year. On April 2, 1996, all five
OPGA Trustees resigned, and the City Council appointed the members of their body as
replacement Trustees. That action was taken to facilitate the refinancing of the existing debt,

Council term, and authorizes the Chair to execute all necessary documents required to implement
the amendment. Mr Ramey moved, seconded by Mr Helm, to approve OPGA Resolution
