ADJOURN Tom Kimball made a motion to adjourn. Brenda Lawrence seconded the motion. Aye: 4 Nay: 0 Carried: 4 -0 Es C 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. CHAMBER BUSINESS Miss Owasso Miss Oklahoma Pageant -The Miss Oklahoma Pageant was held June 3 -9, 1990 at the O.R.U. Mabee Center. Miss Owasso, Holly Breese represented Owasso.

Library OEDA Director's Report June 13, 1990 Page 4 The Owasso Chamber and the O.E.D. A. have added a two volume book to their library titled "How to Set Up Your Own Small Business ".

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.
