MEMORANDUM
TO: Owasso Economic Development Authority
FROM: Richard Hall, O.E.D.A. Director
SUBJECT: Director's Report
DATE: June 13, 1990
NEW BUSINESSES
Two long awaited businesses have started construction in the
city. Anthony's is under construction at the Northwest corner of
76th St. North and the Mingo Valley Expressway. Texaco has broken
ground at the Southeast corner 86th Street North and 117th East
Avenue. Wal -mart construction continues with an opening date in
August. A new game room is in business at the East Pointe Shopping
Center at the Southwest corner of 86th Street North and 129th East
Avenue. The Vines Mini Storage is in the process of constructing 28
new units to the 151 existing units. Forth four more units are
planned. Judy and Bud Pruitt have submitted an application to the
Owasso Board of Adjustment to build a mini storage business
northeast of their body shop. Board action is necessary if the
buildings will be closer than 75 feet to the residential properties
to the south and east of the proposed industrially zoned business.
Hardee's continues work to close a deal on property east of the
Liberty Bank owned by the Leo Eisenberg Company.
METAL PLATTING PROSECT
On May 14th Mark Thompson called me to ask that I visit with
a major stockholder, and the manager of a metal plating company.
The firm is located in Tulsa in several buildings but is
considering a new location, hopefully under one roof. I made an
appointment to visit the facility which I did on May 16th. I toured
the company with the manager and we talked about the possibility of
moving the company to Owasso.
The Tulsa company contains about 40,000 square feet in three
buildings. One building contains the offices, a loading area and a
plating shop. The second building contains boilers and pollution
control equipment while the third structure contains another
plating shop.
The company is large as plating companies go. It has customers
in all of the surrounding states and as far away as Illinois,
Michigan. The expansion of the company will allow it to serve an
area within a 400 mile radius. Its income may double if it can move
to a 60,000 square foot building at a new location. It currently
employs about 60 people but has had a peak employment of 85. The
manager projects that employment may reach 90 if it can move to new
quarters. Peak water use is one million gallons per month, while
C
OEDA Director's Report
June 13, 1990
Page 2
peak electricity billing $5, 000 per month and natural gas is $6, 000
per month. The facility may go to partial co- generation or the use
of natural gas for generation of electricity. The main use of gas
is to heat boilers which provide steam to heat plating tanks. The
manager said that the company prefers to discharge water into a
municipal sewer system, although discharge into a stream is
possible.
The company now offers two kinds of aluminum anodizing, zinc,
cadmium, copper, dull nickel, phosphate and a few other specialized
types of plating. -If the company expands it will likely increase
its services to include tin, zinc - cobalt (a low pollution
substitute for cadmium) , an increased nickel line and a new type of
plating for the computer industry.
The company is confronted by several problems. First, it will
be expensive for the company to move. Second, financing of the
venture will be a challenge. Third, I estimate that there is only
one location suitable in Owasso for the business. The cost of the
buildings alone is $1,175,000 and at least two other companies have
expressed interest in the buildings.
I have conducted a limited amount of research on the metal
plating business. In late April of this year the Tulsa World
published a City of Tulsa list of violators of EPA rules. Most of
the violators were plating companies, but the company was not one
of them. Many of the metals that the company uses are reclaimed,
but some of the waste is consolidated, pressed, dried and disposed
at approved landfills.
I am somewhat concerned about wastewater discharges of such a
company in Owasso, especially since our city has no ordinance that
requires industrial pretreatment of wastewater. Our sewer plant
continues to have problems, part of which stem from its recent
startup and partly because of occasional illegal dumping of fluids
from existing Owasso business(es) that kill beneficial bacteria at
the sewer plant.
I have supplied the manager information about the buildings
that are vacant and zoned for the use in Owasso. I also gave him
some information on the availability of gas, water and electric
utilities near those buildings. Finally, I told him that I would
research the availability of financing and bonds to fund the moving
of his company to Owasso but only if buildings, zoning and
utilities are suitable to the business. I have encouraged our City
Attorney and our sewer plant operator to finish an ordinance
requiring industrial pretreatment of waste water. I will keep you
posted of further developments.
FINANCING REQUESTED FOR AREA BUSINESSES
Alan Anderson, Frank Enzbrenner and I have been visiting with
a prospect about the financing of a local machine shop. We traveled
to Verd- Ark -Ca on Tuesday June 12th to visit about assistance in
OEDA Director's Report
O June 13, 1990
Page 3
the financial package. The prospect has asked that the discussions
remain confidential.
I have had indirect contact from a fabricator /supplier to
locate in a vacant building in the area. That prospect seems
positive about Owasso. I will inform you on the progress of that
prospect as I am able and allowed.
GOLF COURSE SUBDIVISION
I visited with Bland Pittman of Pittman Poe and Associates on
June 11th about the development that is proposed on the Larkin
Bailey property west of Owasso. Mr. Pittman is planning the layout
of the entire development as well as designing a golf course to be
the anchor of the multi use project. I asked if the development
would include any industrial and commercial properties. Mr. Pittman
said that maybe 500 acres of the 2200 acres would be industrially
zoned but that property would be near the 76th street south end of
the project, the area most likely to flood. The development is
proposed to contain commercial uses as well as residential and
recreational -- the golf course. He said that he was anticipating a
Planned Unit Development (P.U.D.), a land use design wherein the
developer is allowed flexibility of design, development densities
and some variances from the literal requirements of the Zoning
Code. In return, the City is granted land use concessions and the
City may also be a party to the restrictive covenants of the
subdivision. I believe that this P.U.D. will be the largest ever
developed in Tulsa County. Anticipating the task of reviewing such
a proposal, the City Manager has asked that I be part of a
committee to review the proposal. I told him that I would be glad
to assist in the review.
VACATION
I will be away from the office on Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday, June 20th, 21st and 22nd. Please address any questions or
messages, if any, to Janice during that time.

2 SECTION A TULSA WORLD,
Bama to Build Plant to Supply
From staff, wire reports
The family partnership of
Bama Foods Ltd. will- build a $31
million manufacturing facility
north of Tulsa to make baked
goods for McDonald's Corp. res-
taurants.
The new plant will provide 135
new jobs.
Bama Pie, which founded
Bama Foods, already produces 3-
ounce fruit pies for McDonald's
U.S. restaurants.
Company spokesman Helen In.
body described the new agree-
ment with Oak Brook, III.-based
McDonald's a "handshake deal"
similar to the one existing be-
EO
tween the two firms.
The 135,000 - square -foot -plant
will mainly produce biscuits. It
will be on 35 acres in the Chero-
kee Industrial Park east of U.S. 75
and south of 76th Street North. .
Bama supplies fried pies to all
of McDonald's domestic restau-
rants. That was about 75 percent
of Bama's total business in 1989.
Bama also exports McDonald's
pies to Hong Kong, Taiwan, Sin-
gapore, Malaysia, Puerto Rico
and Guam.
Bama has no contract with
McDonald's, but Paula McCarty,
general partner and CEO
Bama Pie Ltd., is not worried t
McDonald's will put out fo
cheaper supplier.
"McDonald's is extreme
loyal. They won't always buy
low -cost item. Once they get
know you, if they respect and 1
you they'll work with you v
hundreds of different things."
Bama has been test - market
its biscuits for two years at so
500 McDonald's restaurai
across the country.
Company spokesman Helen
body said hiring for the Cherol
