Elg� OWASSO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY July 13, 2000 Page No. 2 This item was tabled due to mayoral appointments for OEDA not being made by date of meeting.

Mr. Mitchell informed the board that the City Council has yet to decide if they will enter into a contract with LANDCO. Procedural actions need to take place first however, before a sale could be made. The Council would have to adopt a resolution declaring the property surplus, and then enter contract negotiations. Mr. Mitchell emphasized that nothing could be done until and if the property was declared surplus and that the council has tabled the item in the past. b) Mr. Mitchell stated that McGuire had been awarded the contract for road improvements for the Owasso Market. There is some concern however that the stores will be opened before the roadwork is completed. OWASSO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY July 13, 2000 Page No. 3 Mr. Akin moved to adjourn.
