F
D
G
H
G
Spent
a
long
time
coming
with,
as
I
said,
we're
really
excited,
and
so
this
is
actually
a
presentation
that
we
gave
to
our
subcommittee
in
the
month
of
May,
and
it
was
addressing
some
issues
that
came
up
in
our
preliminary
reports.
Submission
one
of
those
issues
was
obviously
cost.
The
other
was
traffic
and
circulation.
So
we
have
Luke
Luke
Schmidt
from
Kim
Lee
horn
here
to
address
traffic
concerns
around
the
site.
We
have
a
proposed
solution
that
we
think
we've
all
agreed
on,
but
we
obviously
would
like
your
feedback
in
any
opinions.
H
G
Omni
team
is
here
as
well,
so
it's
fitting
that
we're
discussing
this
today,
so
a
quick
update.
Again,
we
always
run
through
our
design
principles
with
our
subcommittee
and
I
know.
The
park
is
under
construction
right
now
and
there's
a
lot
of
land
moving
around.
So
it's
great
to
see
a
lot
of
these
things
that
we've
been
talking
about
for
years
now,
I'm
starting
to
come
to
life,
and
so
you
know,
as
far
as
where
we're
at
with
our
drawings,
the
60
percent
set,
is
fully
coordinated
with
all
of
the
appropriate.
G
You
know:
civic
bodies
around
the
area
from
police
to
fire,
the
building
operator
SMG,
is
providing
meaningful
feedback
and
then,
of
course,
continued
coordination
with
our
Maps
3
team.
Our
subcommittee
and
the
Citizens
Advisory
Board,
so
I
think
it's
safe
to
say
that
everybody
that's
been
involved
up
until
now
is
is
comfortable
with
where
the
design
is
at
and
where
we're
moving,
except
for
these
few
outstanding
issues
which
we
hope
to
get
to
resolution
on
today,
so
project
budget.
So
this
is
our
60%
budget,
and
this
is
50%
estimate.
G
G
So,
right
now,
with
all
of
the
add,
alternates
were
actually
in
budget,
but,
as
you
see
the
spreadsheet
up,
there
there's
a
few
things
that
we've
pulled
out
just
to
be
safe.
So
again,
the
things
that
aren't
in
our
budget
are
the
parking
garage
to
the
South
fourth
Street
and
the
potential
bridge.
But
again
that's
not
in
our
base
scope
of
work.
G
So
everything
in
the
building
in
our
initial
scope
is,
we
can
safely
say
it's
in
budget
right
now
and
so
again
we'll
be
refining
this
estimate,
as
we
submit
our
final
plans
here
at
the
end
of
the
month
or
at
the
end
of
end
of
August,
the
building
layout
hasn't
exactly
hasn't
really
changed
at
all,
so
I
can
flip
through
these
really
quickly
and
we
went
ahead
and
updated
our
set
of
renderings
just
to
reflect
the
current
status
of
the
drawings.
So
these
are
actual
renderings
from
our
current
architectural
model.
G
So
I
think
you
can
see
that
the
the
design
integrity
of
the
building
hasn't
really
changed
much
through
the
course
of
this
process.
So
again
the
views
from
Robinson
I'm
the
park
looking
south
on
Robinson
again
looking
north,
and
this
is
actually
a
view
that
we
created
a
modified
aerial
view
where
you
can
start
to
see
on
the
development
along
Robinson
in
the
aerial,
so
vehicular
traffic
vehicular
circulation
in
traffic.
G
When
we
presented
preliminary
report,
we
presented
three
options,
and
this
was
a
mainly
addressing
traffic
moving
north
and
south.
On
Robinson
Boulevard,
we
presented
three
options.
One
was
the
ability
for
traffic
to
come
south
on
Robinson
and
form
a
u-turn
to
go
north.
The
other
was
the
potential
for
a
roundabout
on
Robinson
to
allow
for
traffic
to
circulate
around
the
roundabout
and
head
north,
and
the
other
one
was
to
make
a
left
turn.
J
Thank
you,
Adam.
Let's
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
roundabout
concept,
so
Kimmy
horn.
We
were
tasked
with
looking
at
both
a
location
and
a
potential
design
for
a
roundabout.
Imagine
seeing
the
concept
from
a
location
standpoint.
We
landed
on
Southwest
7th
Street
at
Robinson.
The
reason
for
that
is
6th
Street
had
some
inherent
challenges
with
the
potential
expansion
of
the
Convention
Center,
as
well
as
the
fountain
at
the
park
to
the
west.
I'mso
cemetery
was
the
location
that
we
felt
most
appropriate
for
a
roundabout
concept.
J
From
a
design
standpoint,
a
single
lane,
roundabout,
was
appropriate
from
a
traffic
capacity
standpoint
as
well
as
the
context
of
the
area.
Larger
roundabouts
are
not
as
pedestrian
friendly,
so
we
felt
that
this
was
appropriate
for
this,
for
a
single
lane
run
about
this
location,
as
well
as
from
a
traffic
capacity
standpoint,
a
single
lanes
adequate
for
the
forecasted
traffic
that
we
forecast
from
a
design
standpoint,
the
the
singling
concept
will
be
able
to
accommodate
large
tractor
trailers,
school
buses
and
other
large
buses
or
large
tractor
trailers.
J
K
So
my
big
complaint
about
the
existing
roundabouts
here
in
Oklahoma
City
are
that
they're
too
small.
You
know
if
you
compare
the
roundabouts
to
major
cities,
they
tend
to
flow
better,
but
because
ours
are
so
compacted
people
end
up
having
to
stop.
You
know
as
they
approach
or
roundabouts,
as
opposed
to
a
smooth
merge
into
the
roundabout,
so
I'm
not
suggesting
this.
Has
multiple
lanes
single
lanes,
fine
I'm
just
saying:
is
it
going
to
be
large
enough
to
where
there's
a
smooth
merge
of
traffic
into
the
roundabout
as
opposed
to
the
existing
ones?
J
That's
a
great
it
sure.
That's
a
great
question.
You
can
see
from
the
exterior
diameter
we're
at
120
foot
diameter,
which
is
fairly
large
for
a
single
lane,
roundabout,
and
what
that
does.
Is
that
helps
a
little
bit
with
what
you
were
talking
about
from
a
from
a
traffic
flow
standpoint?
The
other
thing
is
that
we
looked
at
a
design
speed
for
the
surround
about
the
design.
Speed
on
the
roundabout
is
23
miles,
an
hour
which
is
which
is
in
line
with
with
national.
What
National
recommendations.
J
One
thing
you
may
notice
is
the
Eastlake
on
the
approach.
We
actually
show
it
meandering
out
and
then
coming
back
in
and
going
through
the
roundabout
and
that
helps
as
well
with
the
traffic
flow
like
you
were
talking
about,
so
that
increases
visibility
as
you're
going
to
the
roundabout,
but
then
also
also
has
a
smoother
path,
as
you
go
through
the
roundabout.
So,
yes,
that's
something
that
we've
taken
into
account
and
that's
shown
with
the
design
speed
of
23
miles
an
hour
and
and
and
the
flow
going
through.
The
roundabout
itself
would.
J
A
F
J
J
So
you
can
see
from
the
concept
that
we
have
a
center
island
diameter
of
50
feet
that
red
section
outside
of
the
center
diameter.
That's
a
truck
apron.
So
what
that
allows
is
it
allows
vehicles
to
mount
that
section?
So
then
they
have
an
easier
route
getting
around
your
typical
vehicle
will
stay
within
the
grey
paving
section,
but
the
red
apron
is
where
your
tractor
trailers
and
your
larger
tour
buses
they'll
actually
utilize,
that
truck
apron
to
be
able
to
make
the
make
the
roundabouts
safely
effectively
and
is.
J
J
D
B
D
A
G
So,
as
you
know,
this
is
highly
conceptual
at
this
point
in
time.
As
far
as
on
the
actual
design,
this
was
just
part
of
our
our
scope
to
address
a
drop
off
condition
as
on
Robinson,
as
the
city
manager
said,
this
will
go
through
a
design
process
as
it
moves
forward
as
well.
So
by
all
means
this
is
not
a
final
design.
G
G
This
is
very
high
level,
but
I
think
we
were
all
a
little
we're
just
questioning
how
much
something
of
this
scope
would
cost,
and
so
we
were
tasked
from
our
Maps
committee
to
do
three
options
to
put
a
cost
to
what
a
bridge
from
our
Convention
Center
would
potentially
mean
for
the
for
the
city,
and
so
we
have
three
options:
one
of
them.
We
call
it
just
circulation,
and
this
is
a
bridge
similar
to
the
ones
that
you
see
around
town
today,
the
ones
that
are
going
from
Devon
Tower
to
the
adjacent
parking
structures.
G
The
second
option
is
what
we're
calling
gathering
as
the
as
the
hotel
starts
to
develop
in
the
obviously
the
adjacent
meeting
room
in
the
convention
center.
You
would
like
to
have
a
more
meaningful
relationship
between
the
the
meeting
space
and
the
hotel
and
the
meeting
space,
and
that
can
engine
center.
So
we
came
up
with
this
option
called
gathering
where
it
allows
a
bit
more
of
a
footprint
to
allow
some
some
light
gathering
and
reception
space
on
this
bridge.
So
again,
a
climate
control
bridge.
G
That's
a
bit
wider
with
some
available
program
there
for
use,
there's
approximately
two
million
dollars
and
the
third
option.
We
call
the
program
option,
we
see
in
convention
centers
around
the
country,
and
you
know
globally
that
when
you
do
have
these
connections
sometimes
it
is
beneficial
to
add
in
some
kind
of
program
there,
whether
that
is
a
coffee
service,
a
small
cafe,
some
kind
of
exterior
space
to
allow
you
know
views
of
the
park
and
views
down
4th
Street
again
just
to
provide
a
little
bit
of
meat
to
that
connection
between
the
two
spaces.
G
For
all
the
patrons
going
back
and
forth
between
the
two
facilities,
it
really
allows
the
buildings
to
start
to
function
as
one
cohesive
unit.
So
to
do
this
and
add
the
appropriate
utilities,
food
service
you're,
looking
at
a
cost
of
approximately
three
million
dollars,
and
so.
G
G
E
We
met
with
a
panel
of
the
TVV
brought
in
a
panel
of
meeting
planners,
and
they
were
just
in
Phatak
that
there
be
a
connection,
direct
and
out
of
the
weather
connections
that
people
could
walk
back
and
forth,
and
they
just
said
it
was
critical
to
make
they're
making
decisions
about
them
using
the
property
and
also
thank
you
for
taking
this
on,
because
we
really
do
need
it.
Yeah.
G
You
know
we,
you
know
from
an
urban
planning
perspective,
you
always
kind
of
want
to
put
people
on
the
ground.
However,
there
are
examples
where,
if
you're
at
a
convention-
and
you
do
have
to
go
back
and
forth
from
a
meeting
room
in
the
hotel
to
a
meeting
room
in
the
convention
center,
it
is
meaningful
to
have
this
connection
between
the
two
facilities.
K
If
it's
not
too
light
in
the
design
stage,
could
you
look
at
what
they've
done
out
at
the
airport
of
the
rental
car
center?
The
art
aspect
of
that
was
with
respect
to
the
entrance
that,
when
you
walk
through,
you've
got
a
series
of
sounds
and
some
lights
yeah,
and
if
you
could
somehow
incorporate
that
kind
of
an
idea
in
there,
because
one
of
the
things
that
they
did
out
there
was
provide
historic,
like
radio
clips
of
events
that
have
occurred
through
Oklahoma
with
this
being
a
convention
center
them.
G
Along
with
that,
we
are
all
of
our
public
art.
Ideas
are
now
are
we're
on
the
ground
level,
so
it's
the
right
time
to
be.
Having
this
conversation,
we've
been,
we've
had
meaningful
meetings
with
Robby
from
the
art
department
on
how
we
can
implement
the
public
art
in
this
project
and
right
now
we're
kind
of
taking
all
ideas,
and
so
it's
definitely
a
meaningful.
A
meaningful
comment
right
now,
as
we
move
forward
with
this
public
art
process.
Well,.
K
G
K
K
G
So
I'm
going
to
give
an
update
on
the
schedule
remaining
scheduled
for
the
end
of
the
year
and
then
any
questions
you
have
for
the
whole
project,
where
we're
willing
to
answer
right
now
and
so
we'll
be
submitting.
Our
final
are
95%
final
plans
by
Labor
Day
that
gives
our
Maps
team
in
the
city
to
do
a
meaningful
eight-week
review.
G
So
it
looks
like
well,
then
submit
our
final
plan
sometime
in
October
or
November
upon
review
that
gives
our
Maps
team
some
time
to
set
up
the
documents
to
go
out
to
bid
so
we're
looking
at
the
the
documents
bidding
sometime
in
the
first
quarter
of
next
year
and
hopefully
a
groundbreaking
soon
after
that.
So
any
questions
from
the
council.
G
We
will
we
will
meet
with
our
subcommittee
in
September,
so
I
would
assume
that
that
will
be
a
pretty
robust
meeting
of
our
final
plans.
Again,
nothing
design-wise,
it's
changing,
but
there's
still
some
stuff
floating
around.
As
far
as
the
bridge
parking,
so
I
would
I
would
assume
sometime
in
the
early
fall.
We
will
be
back
for
another
full
rotation,
David.
A
A
N
B
E
You
Amir
I
just
wanted
to
mention
item
P,
it's
an
annual
approval
of
our
continuum
of
care
program,
and
these
are
the
grants
that
we
receive
from
the
Housing
and
Urban
Development
didn't
help
particularly
fund
housing,
helping
get
the
homeless
folks
off
the
street
and
work
on
the
overall
cost
of
homelessness,
and
these
agreements
are
with
you
know
our
friends
that
I
mentioned
on
a
regular
basis,
but
I
always
like
to
do
so.
The
homeless,
Alliance,
Red,
Rock,
behavioral
health
services,
City
Care,
Hope,
Community,
Services,
community
enhancement,
core
OKC,
metro
alliance.
E
It
runs
our
first
step
program,
Hart
line
and
be
the
change
which
is
doing
great
work
with
street
homeless,
and
this
year
the
dollar
amount
that
we
received
from
HUD
is
just
in
excess
of
two
million
dollars.
So
it
and
I
always
talk
about
the
paltry
social
services
budget
and
we
wish
more
than
anything
we
could
fix
that,
but
we
do
on
an
annual
basis,
receive
substantial
dollars
from
the
federal
government.
We
hope
those
will
continue,
but
that's
how
many
of
these
programs
are
funded.
Thank
you.
O
G
G
At
this
time,
however,
we
did
address
the
ability
to
potentially
use
wind
energy
as
more
of
a
viable
solution
to
essentially
generate
energy
for
the
center,
but
again
not
in
our
scope
of
work
now,
but
something
that
we
could
use
in
the
future.
As
far
as
the
current
design
for
the
energy
we're
designing
to
the
new
2015
Oklahoma
City
Building
Code,
which
is
much
more
strict
than
the
old
2009
version.
So
what
you're
really
seeing
is
I
know
that
we
talked
a
lot
about
LEED
Silver,
LEED
Gold.
G
The
new
building
codes
are
actually
catching
up
to
lead
as
far
as
your
base
for
design,
and
so
we
are
taking
every
precaution
to
design
the
mechanical
systems,
all
of
the
low
emissive
glass,
all
of
the
lighting
in
the
building
or
LEDs.
So
we're
designing
a
facility
that
is
very
strict
and
energy.
Efficient,
however,
was
decided
that
we
will
not
be
pursuing
a
LEED
rating.
I
know
that
that
might
seem
like
a
red
flag.
G
P
G
I
wish
I
had
an
old
presentation
of
here.
We've
taken
a
number
of
robust
systems,
I
guess
you
could
say
to
address
that
most
passive
and
some
active
and
so
passive
would
be.
You
know
the
high
efficiency
low
misses
glass
as
I
as
I
stated
in
previous
presentations,
we're
opening
a
facility
in
Anaheim
right
now
that
is
almost
exact,
same
condition
less
facing
and
we're
actually
achieving
a
very
high
level
of
protect
protection
just
with
the
glass
of
an
Anaheim
and
so
we'll
be
using
a
similar
glass
like
that
in
this
prod.
G
In
this
project
we
also
have
passive
louvers
on
the
west-facing
facade,
specifically
on
the
meeting
room
space,
so
a
combination
of
the
louvers
and
the
low
emissive
glass
and
then
on
certain
areas
that
we
think
are
high-impact.
We
have
a
light
frit
on
the
glass,
basically
blocking
a
certain
percentage
of
light.
So
from
an
appearance
perspective,
the
glass
isn't
looking
different,
but
it
actually
is
blocking
a
substantial
part
of
the
light
entering
the
facility,
also
as
you've
seen
the
architecture
we've
specifically
designed
the
building
with
deep
architectural
overhangs.
G
So
we're
getting
a
lot
of
protection
from
the
Sun
just
from
the
architecture
of
the
building,
and
if
you
look
at
our
building
and
plan,
we've
rotated
the
building
25
degrees
to
the
north.
So
just
that
simple
rotation
and
plan
has
allowed
for
a
substantial
amount
of
protection
for
majority
of
the
year.
But
we
always
say
this
with
our
mechanical
engineers.
Is
that
you're
never
really
designing
for
Superbowl
Sunday
you're
designing
for
the
range
of
the
entire
year.
G
So
if
you
were
designing
for
the
absolute
hottest
time
of
the
year,
the
cost
would
be
skyrocket,
and
so
what
we've
done
is
we've
taken
out.
What
we
think
is
a
recommended
range
for
this
region
and
design
to
that
and
on
those
certain
days
when
you
will
have
a
high
exposure,
that's
when
you
would
rely
on
the
mechanical
systems
but
kind
of
make
up
a
difference
from
an
active
perspective
and
again
from
a
functional
standpoint.
All
of
the
meeting
rooms
that
are
west
facing
they
have
the
ability
to
to
have
blackout
conditions.
G
So
you
have
a
series
of
blinds
inside
the
room
where
they
can
allow
ambient
light
or
actually
a
blackout
condition
in
the
room.
So
again,
it'll
start
to
become
an
operational
thing
as
we
learn
how
to
operate
the
building,
but
from
a
passive
architectural
perspective,
we've
pulled
out
all
the
tricks
in
the
architectural
handbag
to
to
address
a
west-facing
condition.
Thank.
O
You've
got
some
of
the
economic
numbers
from
someone
other
than
oh
gee
Andy.
The
part
of
the
economics,
of
course,
is
affected
by
the
hostility
towards
solar
at
the
legislature.
If
some
of
that
changes
where
they
allow
third
parties
to
come
in
and
lease
and
not
be
considered
a
utility,
could
your
current
design
accommodate
that
in
the
future
share
the
legislation
changing
in
the
future
yeah.
G
So
we've
gone
through
the
exercise
of
identifying
what
parts
of
the
building
can
accept
solar
from
a
structural
standpoint,
certainly
not
exactly
knowing
what
the
systems
will
be
in
the
future,
but
I
know
from
an
actual
building
standpoint.
We
can
accommodate
it
if
it
does
go
down
that
route.
Who
just
decided
to
not
do
it
at
this
point
in
time,
but.
D
B
You
all
right,
I,
think
we've
addressed
all
of
the
individual
items
on
the
council
agenda,
I'll,
take
the
motion
and
the
second
to
include
all
of
the
items
on
the
consent
docket,
with
the
exception
of
a.m.
to
which
Councilwoman
sell
your
has
to
be
voted
on
separately.
All
right
cast
your
votes
passed
unanimously.
Now
that
we
have
a
motion
on
item
am
to
their
second
alright
cast
your
votes
and
am
ii
passes
unanimously.
B
B
R
B
Q
Yeah,
if
you'd
come
forward
or
you
and
Bob
Fisher
I
had
some
concerns
the
last
time
we
talked
on
the
phone
since
the
last
time,
and
there
were
two
purposes
for
this
correct
me.
If
I'm
wrong,
one
is
to
have
a
light
industrial
on
one
track
and,
on
the
other,
to
have
some
housing
in
the
future,
if
you're
on
the
second
track
and
on
the
housing
one
we
talked
about,
limiting
that
we
just
a
couple
of
duplexes
or
a
triplex
and
not
to
have
our
four
right.
Is
that
correct?
R
Q
B
K
Francis,
it's
anyone.
Okay,
may
I
ask
for
the
representative
to
just
make
a
brief
presentation
I'm
supportive
of
this
idea,
but
it
just
hasn't
received
too
much
attention.
So
I
thought
it
would
be
a
good
time
to
just
share
some
information
about
it.
It's
in
the
far
southern
district
of
the
Oklahoma
City
Public
Schools,
just
eight
blocks.
South
Moore
public
school
boundary
begins.
So
that's.
S
Right
David
box
fought
you
to
Colcord
Drive
here
on
behalf
of
the
applicant.
Also
with
me
is
mr.
Carl
Edwards
and
several
people
from
the
Oklahoma
City
Public
Schools.
This
will
be
in
Oklahoma
City
public
school,
a
little
bit
inverse
itself.
What
we
have
here
is
around
29,000
square
feet,
and
this
is
the
former
location
of
a
ripe
business
college,
because
it's
Zone
C
three
in
order
to
operate
a
middle
school
and/or
high
school
social
permit
is
needed.
So
what
we
have
filed
is
a
special
permit
that
has
a
pretty
detailed
program
description.
S
K
K
B
K
B
T
S
All
right,
David
box
talks,
which
of
Colcord
dr
tim
johnson,
civil
engineer
for
this
project.
Also
here
with
me,
this
is
a
site
that
is
located
in
a
rural
area
and
one
of
the
issues
that
was
faced
at
the
Planning
Commission
was
density
in
your
staff
report.
It
makes
a
reference
to
perhaps
Planning
Commission,
believing
that
the
density
is
out
of
scale,
and
so
what
mr.
Johnson
produced
is
an
exhibit
to
show
you
all
of
the
other
surrounding
zoning
cases.
S
So
what
we
have
is
an
application
that
would
allow
two
acre
lofts,
there's
a
subsequent
plat
that
will
come
forward.
But
what
you
see
here
is
you've
got
the
subject
site
and
all
the
other
sites
that
are
highlighted
in
either
yellow
or
red,
or
developments
that
are
either
identical
to
ours
or
more
dense
than
ours.
So
we
believe
we
have
an
application.
That
is
right
in
line
with
the
surrounding
area,
and
if
you
look
at
the
details
of
this,
you
have
less
than
acre
lots.
S
3/4
of
an
acre
one
acre
two
acre
around
two
acre
two
acre
one
acre,
so
our
developments
actually
on
the
lower
side
of
the
density.
In
that
area,
we
think
it's
going
to
be
a
nice
development
that
will
have
wonderful
two
acre
lots:
wonderful,
rural
type,
lifestyle.
We
we
do
have
an
area
in
this
part
of
the
city
that
has
wonderful
trees.
So
what
mr.
Johnson
plans
to
do
on
the
plat
is
actually
put
a
note
on
the
plat
requiring
a
certain
level
of
tree
preservation.
T
T
I
was
in
favor
of
denying
it,
but
after
seeing
that
again,
just
northwest
of
this
particular
site
that
the
city
of
Edmond
is
looking
at
rezoning,
a
huge
partial
land,
that's
again
going
to
be
one
acre
and
this
site
is
going
to
be
2
acres.
I
think
this
follows
online.
So,
with
that
said,
I
move
for
approval
of
this
idle.
B
D
U
Good
morning,
Lee
booth
utility
customer
service-
this
ordinance
being
introduced
to
you
today,
is
about
instances
where
Oklahoma
City
provides
water
service
to
a
property,
and
the
property
is
served
with
wastewater
service
by
another
public
entity.
So
the
state
law
changed
in
November
of
16
and
it
requires
Oklahoma
City
to
provide
this
service
to
another
public
entity
when
requested.
U
So
the
ordinance
before
you
establishes
a
procedure
whereby,
in
this
instance,
the
city
of
war,
acres,
who's
approached
us
establishes
a
procedure
whereby
we
provide
notification
to
customers
and
an
opportunity
for
public
hearing
for
them
prior
to
their
service
being
disconnected
so
for
perspective.
There
we
provide
water
service
to
about
two
hundred
and
thirteen
thousand
customers
in
Oklahoma
City
of
those
roughly
ten
thousand
receive
their
water
from
us
and
their
wastewater
service,
either
from
another
provider
or
have
a
private
service,
and
we
have
3400
customers,
which
we
share
with
war
acres.
U
So
we're
talking
about
a
relatively
small
portion
of
our
customer
base.
The
cost
of
this
program
is
borne
by
the
users,
so
customers,
who
we
post
public
notice
on,
will
pay
for
that
public
notice.
Customers
whom
we
disconnect
will
pay
for
the
reconnection
of
their
service
and
the
administrative
charge
associated
will
be
handled
through
our
cost
of
service
fees
that
we
charge
to
outside
city
retail
customers.
We.

A

Comments
or
questions
on
item
9
he
all
right.
Well,
the
item
is
being
introduced
today
and
we'll
be
able
ik
hearing
on
August
1st.
We
would
expect
the
final
hearing
on
August
15th.
So
just
a
motion
today
to
accept
the
item
as
introduced
cast
your
votes.
It
passes
unanimously
item
9
F.
This
begins
a
series
of
items
from
the
traffic
Commission
most
are
in
Ward
6.
The
last
couple
are
in
Ward,
7
Meggy,
okay,
with
these
first
four,
yes,.
E
B
E
B
I
Own,
the
property
of
1900
northeast
50th,
all
right
and
I-
had
gotten
a
notice
to
come
in
today,
and
what
I
want
to
do
is
right
now,
I'm
in
bankruptcy,
Leggett,
it's
liquid!
That's
getting
shaken
and
I
talked
to
my
lawyer
last
week,
but
right
now
him
my
lawyer
and
the
lawyer
would
be
finamac
mortgage
company
I,
don't
know
what
got
the
operation
on
hold,
but
right
now
they
kind
of
see.
They
said
it's
one
of
the
first
time
that
they
had
a
property
that
that
was,
can
bankruptcy
get
burned.
I
F
F
I
From
on
the
insurance,
I
work
with
the
insurance
and
the
market
company
up
in
to
make
the
insurance
finally
released
the
check
send
it
to
the
mortgage
companies.
The
market
company
right
now,
I
have
the
check
in
a
what
they
call
a
escrow
account
and
I.
Don't
know
exactly
why
it's
on
the
whole,
but
I've
been
trying
to
get
something
done
with
the
insurance,
the
market
company,
to
release
the
check
either.
I
B
I
B
I
V
T

All
right
so
make
sure
you
have
Charles's
business
card
before
you
leave
here
today
and
the
two
of
you
can
continue
to
work
together
and
we
wish
you
good
luck
and
getting
that
property
up
and
hope
someday.
You
can
move
over
there.
Thank
you.
You
bet
thanks
for
coming
down
this
morning,
all
right
any
other.

Now,
I
see
these
various
properties
and
thing
to
talk
about
being
destroyed
and
all
this
here,
but
I
don't
find
one
time
on.
In
one
instance,
are
we
talking
about
closing
down
those
dilapidated
buildings,
there's
abandoned
by
the
Oklahoma
few
district?
That's
right!
H
We
got
several
schools
on
a
northeast
side
been
up
there
for
a
tremendously
a
number
of
mount
of
years,
and
yet
you
want
to
take
someone
else's
personal
property
because
they
don't
have
the
money
to
upgrade
it
if
we're
going
to
finish
it.
Well
that
goes
with
this.
It
goes
with
the
houses
it
goes
with.
The
house
doesn't
go
with
the
hell
okay.
H
Also,
let
me
talk
can
tell
you
or
you
go
I'll
feel
like
I'm
talking
to
several
now
see
there,
y'all
go
but
believe
it
or
not.
You'll
have
no
authority
to
address
this
man
in
this
such
a
mountain.
Now
you
can
take
him
to
court,
but
you
don't
have
a
right
to
in
another
cell
call,
that's
what
you
call
due
process
of
law,
that
man
has
a
personal
stake
in
his
real
properties,
and
that
would
be
in
a
sense.
Your
actions
would
be
basically
a
communist
type
role.
H
Okay,
your
property
is
not
up
to
standard
so
I'm
going
to
destroy.
That's
not
how
it
work.
That's
why
you
have
a
judicial
system.
Then
you
have
an
appellate
system.
Then
you
have
the
Supreme
Court
of
Oklahoma
and
United
States
Constitution,
which
is
the
Constitution
law
of
the
land.
Now
not
only
is
this
man's
property
being
in
friend
zone
and
you're,
putting
through
the
wringer
forcing
him
to
make
a
stand
or
taking
action.
H
I
don't
believe
that
that's
the
right
step
to
take
I
believe
that
this
man
should
be
set
down
and
I
like
what
this
gentleman
here
spoke
about
like
that
by
the
way,
I
don't
know
your
name
I've
seen
you
plenty
of
times
I
like
and
another
councilman
I'm
going
to
talk
to
you
a
little
bit
about
some
little
lay
down.
But
let
me
say
in
closing:
if
there
is
any
instance
on
the
northeast
side
of
Oklahoma
City,
where
there's
been
proper
conduct,
I
personally
will
be
taking
you.
People
cool
thanks.
B
B
H
H
H
H
No,
no,
no,
no
we're
going
to
talk
about
what
you
suggest
is
no
good
because
I'm
following
the
laws
and
dictates
of
Oklahoma
Constitution.
If
you
guys
come
on
an
item
up
before
me
to
be
talked
about,
I,
don't
have
to
say
well
looking
at
my
write
it
down.
First,
that's
not
how
it
worked.
I
want
to
talk
on
an
issue
unless
you
change
the
rules
and
regulations.
I
would
like
to
talk
on
the
issues
that
not
because
you
want
to
go
home.
Michael.
H
B
B
B
H
L
W
Morning,
thank
you
for
inviting
me
here
to
speak
this
morning
about
our
progress
on
the
Convention
Center
Hotel.
We
have
two
items
before
you
this
morning.
One
is
a
redevelopment
agreement
with
Omni
hotels
and
the
other
is
a
funding
plan
that
sets
out
a
process
in
order
to
fund
the
public
participation,
that's
required
for
the
hotel
project
just
to
kind
of
overview.
What
we're
going
to
do
this
morning.
W
The
first
thing
we're
going
to
do
is
I'm
going
to
review
the
project
and
talk
a
little
bit
about
how
we've
gotten
to
the
place
that
we
are
today.
Next,
we
have
tom
has
in
ski
with
HVS,
who
is
here
to
make
a
presentation
about
an
economic
impact
study
that
we
recently
completed
that
examines
the
economic
impact
of
the
Convention
Center
project
with
and
without
the
hotel
development.
W
Then
we're
going
to
go
through
the
terms
of
the
redevelopment
agreement
and
finally
go
through
the
funding
plan
and
and
have
a
summary
of
comments
and
recommendations
to
go
forward.
Let's
start
out
I
think
we
need
to
remember
that
the
purpose
of
the
maps
three
projects
were
one
of
the
main
goals
of
the
maps.
W
3
projects
was
to
spur
private
investment
in
and
around
the
investment
that
the
city
is
going
to
make
and
I
know
that
that's
a
big
component
of
what
we
plan
to
do
with
the
new
park
project
along
the
streetcar
route,
and
the
same
is
true
for
the
Convention
Center.
This
project
is
designed
to
create
new
economic
impacts
and
benefits
to
Oklahoma
City
by
attracting
additional
convention
visitor
trade,
so
public
exhibition
and
other
types
of
events
that
require
a
large
quantity
of
hotel
rooms.
W
In
order
to
book
those
types
of
events,
it
will
generate
increased
tourism
to
Oklahoma
City,
which
is
one
of
the
fastest
growing
components
of
our
local
economy.
It
will
provide
job
creation
and
increased
employment
opportunities,
both
as
the
hotel
is
constructed
and
as
a
hotel
continues
operations
and
it
will
enhance
and
foster
greater
utilization
and
more
efficient
utilization
of
the
new
Convention
Center,
making
it
much
more
economically
feasible
and
sound
as
it
goes
forward
with
its
operations
just
wanted
to
go
through
a
little
bit
of
the
process.
W
To
date,
we've
been
we've
been
working
on
this
project
for
several
years.
Now,
if
you
remember
in
2015,
we,
the
City
Council,
authorized
the
launch
of
the
procurement
process
to
select
a
hotel
developer.
We
qualified
for
firms,
we
issued
an
RFP
and
we
qualified
for
firms
based
on
their
past
experience,
the
team
they
assembled
their
financial
capability
and
their
general
approach
to
the
project.
In
January
of
2016,
we
began
to
receive
input
from
meeting
planners
about
the
project
and
what
their
desires
and
goals
were
in
May
of
2016.
W
The
selection
committee
met
and
determined
that
Omni
was
the
best
choice
for
the
city
to
move
forward
with
negotiations
late
in
September
2016,
the
City
Council
authorized
myself
and
the
city
manager
to
negotiate
with
Omni
and
the
agreement
that
we
have
today
before
you
is
the
result
of
those
negotiations,
one
of
the
reasons
just
to
go
through
some
of
the
reasons
that
Omni
was
selected.
First
of
all,
they
were
selected
by
unanimous
vote
of
the
selection
committee.
W
One
of
the
major
factors
is
that
they
are
bringing
a
150
over
150
million
dollar
developer
contribution
to
the
project.
They
will
be
a
private
partner
with
substantial
balance
sheet
that
eliminates
financing
contingencies,
which
is
important
as
we
structure
these
deals,
there's
a
certainty
of
ownership
and
a
long-term
commitment
to
their
projects.
They
have
significant
experience
and
operating
Convention,
Center
hotels
and
for
Diamond
level,
hotels
and
they're,
an
entrepreneurial
organization
that
has
very
distinctive
concepts
that
reflect
the
local
communities
that
they
that
they
have
projects
in,
and
that
was
important
to
the
team.
W
This
is
an
early
concept.
I
everybody
thinks
that
this
is
the
design
of
the
hotel.
This
is
a
conceptual
design
and
the
final
design
will
vary
from
this
somewhat,
but
this
is
I'm
a
design
that
was
come
up
with
to
show
how
the
how
the
project
would
fit
on
the
on
the
property.
That's
been
identified
as
the
site
for
the
hotel
and
just
to
kind
of
summarize
the
what
we
had
in
the
proposal
from
Omni.
W
They
will
be
the
brand
they
will
be
the
operator
they
will
be
the
owner
at
the
time
the
proposals
were
submitted,
their
contractor
was
Brassfield
and
gory
I
think
they
are
reviewing
other
options
as
far
as
contractors,
as
well
as
other
options.
As
far
as
who
the
architect
will
be,
the
number
of
rooms
is
600
rooms.
W
So
with
that
I'd
like
to
introduce
Tom
Kaczynski
with
HVS
hvs
does
consulting
in
the
convention
sports
leisure
visitor
arena.
Again,
they
were
asked
by
us
to
complete
an
economic
impact
study.
Some
of
the
work
that
they
do
will
be
a
part
of
the
incentives,
as
we
move
forward
with
this
project.
If
the
council
determined
to
do
that
so
with
that
I'd
like
to
turn
it
over
to
mr.
Kosinski.
X
X
We
I
leave
the
division
called
convention,
sports
and
entertainment
and
our
area
specialties
is
the
market
analysis
impact
analysis
of
public
assembly
facilities,
including
convention
centers.
So
we've
done
this
kind
of
work
all
over
the
country
and
we're
very
pleased
to
be
able
to
bring
our
experience
to
Oklahoma
City,
which
is
engaged
in
what
I
view
is
a
really
exciting
project
so
to
to
do
an
economic
impact
study.
X
So
we
looked
at
that
data
and
we
looked
at
events
that
could
be
located
in
the
convention
center
and
how
many
are
being
lost
on
average
annually
and
due
to
lack
of
space
or
dates
in
the
convention
center
about
23
events
are
lost
and
due
to
a
lack
of
an
adequate
hotel
room
block
about
16
events
are
lost
on
average
per
year,
with
a
total
of
about
a
hundred
and
twelve
thousand
room
nights.
So
if
you
were
to
recover
one
in
four
of
these
events,
you
might
get
ten
additional
events.
X
The
new
Convention
Center
would
have
more
capacity
particularly
capacity
to
do
simultaneous
events,
and
it
would
free
up
a
lot
of
space
and,
of
course,
the
addition
to
the
hotel
would
address
the
hotel
room
block
need,
but
this
doesn't
represent
going
into
the
next
slide.
This
doesn't
represent
the
whole
universe
of
potential
events,
so
we
looked
at
a
database
called
a
mint
database.
X
It's
provided
by
the
destination
Marketing
Association
International
and
we
we
looked
at
in
that
event,
databases
about
1200
events
that
rotate
around
the
country-
okay,
the
various
sizes
and
that
database
contains
information
about
where
they,
where
they
occurred.
What
the
origin
of
the
event
is
and
how
many
attendees
they
have
and
how
many
room
nights
they
generates.
So
we
we
analyze
that
database,
but
we
looked
you
know
as
events
rotate
around
the
country,
they
go
to
different
regions.
X
So
we
only
looked
at
those
that
what
we
called
regional
events
occurred
in
the
Midwest
about
12
states
in
the
Midwest
running
down
the
central
United
States.
We
further
sort
of
that
database
for
events
with
about
5,000
or
fewer
attendees.
This
would
be
the
kind
of
capacity
you
would
have
with
with
a
new
Convention
Center,
and
then
we
also
looked
at
what
ones
are
nationally
rotating.
X
We
try
to
eliminate,
let's
say,
Texas
events
that
are
originated
in
Texas
that
occur
in
Texas
that
are
not
likely
to
occur
in
Oklahoma
Aleksei,
so
that
got
us
down
to
about
269
events
which,
with
average
room
nights
of
about
3,000
room
nights
a
year.
So
this
is
just
a
good
indicator
of
the
size
of
the
market,
that's
available
for
you,
and
so
that's
the
kind
of
market
you'd
want
to
be
penetrating
in
terms
of
attracting
convention
events.
So
if
you
were
to
get
one
in
ten
of
those
events,
you
could
get
26
events.
X
Okay,
so
that's
just
a
kind
of
a
rough
indicator
of
the
size
of
the
market
so
going
on.
We
then
did
an
analysis
of
how
comparable
venues
are
doing
so
we
selected
some
that
where
we
could
get
data
on
their
operating
performance,
we-
and
this
is
a
this
slide-
indicates
the
size
of
the
function
space
in
these
facilities.
The
blue
bar
represents
exhibit
space.
The
red
bar
represents
ballroom
space
and
the
green
bar
represents
meeting
space.
X
So
we
looked
at
Denver,
commencin
Center
or
the
Defense
Center
in
Denver,
which
is
the
Colorado
Convention
Center
Columbus
in
Pittsburg
Oklahoma
City.
The
new
proposed
is
in
the
darker
shade
and
the
Albuquerque
Convention
Center
and
in
Grand
Rapids
Michigan
DeVos
Place.
So
you
can
see
we've
selected
cities
where
you
can
fit
in
the
middle
of
those.
Some
are
larger,
some
are
smaller,
and
so
we
wanted
to
look
at
the
characteristic,
those
of
those
destinations
to
see
how
you
should
be
performing
so
putting
it
in
context.
X
So
we
did
a
market
analysis
of
all
of
these,
so
we
go
out
into
the
next
slide.
We
have
one
of
the
key
criteria
for
event.
Planners
and
selecting
a
destination
is
availability
of
hotel
rooms
and
adjacent
rooms.
The
rooms
connected
in
the
headquarters
Hotel
like
the
Omni,
which
would
bring
six
hundred
rooms
to
Oklahoma
City,
you're
kind
of
in
the
middle
of
the
pack
they're
similar
can
convention
centers
have
around
600
rooms,
Denver
being
a
much
larger
market
has
more
Albuquerque
a
market.
X
There's
not
performing
well
only
has
295
if
you
look
at
proximate
hotel,
remote
el
rooms
that
are
within
one
mile
and
can
serve
the
convention
center
you're
going
to
have
about
with
the
new
supply
entering
the
market
about
3,200
rooms,
so
you're
you're
in
a
pretty
good
position
with
respect
to
proximate
hotel
rooms.
We
looked
at
a
number
of
other
criterias
are
shown
in
the
next
couple
of
slides
that
indicate
the
strength
of
the
destination.
X
Now,
when
convinced,
when
convention
event
planners
select
a
city
to
come
to
they're,
looking
not
just
at
a
building
they're
looking
at
a
destination
and
what
has
to
offer
they
want,
they
want
strong
attendance,
they
want,
they
want
a
sense
of
place
in
destination,
so
resident
population
is
a
an
indicator
of
the
kind
of
support.
Now.
This
is
a
all
of
these
data
I'm
showing
you
is
based
on
a
source
called
ESRI,
and
it's
some
data
on
what's
available
within
a
15-minute
walking
distance.
X
So
it
is
the
convention
destination,
so
Oklahoma
City
is
currently
pretty
weak
with
respect
to
residential
population
and
that's
important,
because
residential
population
supports
the
kind
of
amenities
that
convention
attendees.
Like
you,
although
another
criteria,
you
measure
up
very
well,
you
have
strong
median
household
income
within
that
range
and
you
have
a
stronger
than
most
amount
of
business
sales
and
going
onto
the
next
slide.
Your
retail
sales
is
relatively
low.
X
There
are
a
lot
of
retail
generators,
but
you
have
a
lot
of
arts
and
entertainment
and
recreation
sales
within
within
that
15
minute
walking,
distance
and
your,
but
your
second
last
with
respect
to
restaurant
and
bars.
So
we
also
looked
at
this
in
a
more
graphic
way
using
the
same
data
source.
If
you
go
on
in
the
next
slide,
we
this
this
will
show
you
a
series
of
slides
of
these
various
cities.
So
it
gives
you
a
picture
of
how
you
stand
with
respect
to
these
other
cities.
X
So
what
you
see
in
the
red
dots
here
are
the
ardent
arts
and
entertainment
venues
and
the
green
dots
are
restaurants
and
nightlife
to
include
bars
and
so
on,
and
the
blue,
our
retail
outlet.
So
you
can
see
the
location
of
the
new
Convention
Center
and
it
were
where
it
is
located
with
respect
to
these
it's
south
of
most
of
these
most
of
these
destination
amenities
going
to
the
next
slide.
We
see
Denver-
and
you
see
this
is
a
highly
successful
Convention
Center
convention
destination.
X
X
You
see
it's
one
of
the
weaker
destinations.
One
of
their
disadvantages
is
that
they
have
a
lot
of
their
amenities,
are
in
the
old
town
which
are
far
away
from
their
Convention
Center
up
in
the
upper
left-hand
corner
of
this.
So
the
next
time
you
see
a
compared
side-by-side.
You
can
see
kind
of
get
a
visual
picture
of
how
Oklahoma
City
stacks
up
today
with
respect
to
these
other
destinations.
X
So
what
needs
to
be
done
to
improve
destination
appeal
in
Oklahoma
City
go
on
in
the
next
slide,
you're,
actually
doing
those
things
you're
connecting
to
amenities
you're
doing
exactly
what
needs
to
be
done
to
make
this
a
better
destination.
It's
really
an
impressive
plan
you're
not
only
connecting
to
the
existing
amenities,
you're,
creating
new
amenities
in
the
parks
and
in
in
the
hotel
and
in
the
convention
center
itself.
So
these
dots
are
going
to
be
start
appearing
more
as
you
move
down
to
the
river
as
this
development
occurs.
X
So
it
strikes
me
as
the
brilliantly
exactly
the
right
move,
exactly
the
right
location
for
this
to
to
to
improve
your
overall
destination
appeal.
So
we
took
all
that
into
account
and
said,
okay,
so
how?
How
should
this
new
Convention
Center
perform?
And
if
we,
with
the
help
of
SMG,
we
were
able
to
get
data
on
the
events
in
in
these
other
cities
and
we
break
them
down
in
this
chart
by
type
of
event,
conventions
and
trade
shows
which
are
really
the
important.
X
The
most
important
line
there,
because
they're,
the
ones
that
generate
a
lot
of
economic
impact
and
generate
nights
consumer
shows
are
mostly
locally
based.
Events
have
high
attendance,
but
don't
draw
as
much
out
of
town
traffic.
Similarly,
with
banquets
and
meetings
have
a
lot
of
out-of-town
attraction
too,
but
they're
much
smaller,
so
they
both
important
line
to
that
charge,
the
top
one
so
the
on
the
green
bar.
You
see
our
projections
about
how
we
think
Oklahoma
City
is
going
to
do
so.
X
You
can
see
because
it
doesn't
compare
favorably
right
now
in
all
these
categories,
we've
been
conservative
about
how
it
would
perform.
We
don't
have
it
as
being
a
top
performance.
We
have
it
on
a
par
with
Pittsburgh.
If
you
DeVos,
Place
and
Grand
Rapids
has
a
lot
of
those
sports
and
entertainment
events.
We
don't
expect
those
here,
but
if
you
take
those
out
you're
very
much
on
par
with
the
boss,
and
so
you
can
see
in
those
comparisons,
that's
where
you
compare
as
a
market.
So
this
is
how
we
think
should
perform.
X
So
that
gets
you
to
bottom.
Around
170
events,
see
here
with
40
conventions
and
trade
shows
looking
on
into
the
next
slide.
This
is
our
estimate
of
attendance.
Okay.
So
we
looked
historically
at
what
average
size
events
you're
getting.
We
think
the
new
events
you're
going
to
get
because
a
lot
of
them
are
going
to
be
simultaneous,
actually
might
be
smaller,
and
we
saw
in
that
mint
database.
They
were
a
little
smaller,
so
we
actually
reduced.
X
As
you
get
more
events,
the
average
size
we
think
is
going
to
shrink
a
little
bit,
but
still
you're,
going
to
generate
significantly
more
attendance
than
a
couple
of
the
other
venues,
but
not
nearly
what
Denver
is
doing
or
what
Columbus
is
doing.
Columbus
has
the
advantage
of
having
a
force.
Fourth
largest
state
Association
market
in
the
US.
You
don't
have
this,
that
strong
state
association
market.
X
So
that's
why
we
are
not
putting
that
a
level
at
that
Columbus
Convention
Center
is
at
but
you're
very
similar
to
Grand,
Rapids
and
very
similar
to
Pittsburg
much
better
than
Albuquerque.
Albuquerque
is
not
a
well
performing
destination
because
it
lacks
hotel
proximity
and
it
lacks
a
lot
of
amenities.
So
on
to
the
next
slide,
then
we
were
asked
the
question:
well,
how
is
it
going
to
perform
with
and
without
the
hotel?
X
So
in
order
to
estimate
the
impact
of
the
hotel,
we
had
to
create
two
scenarios:
one
development
of
the
command
center
with
it
and
one
without
we
know
from
experience
in
having
surveyed
event
planners
for
many
many
years,
and
this
is
what
your
advisory
groups
told
you-
that
headquarters
hotel
is
crucially
important.
So
these
are
surveys
we've
done
in
a
number
of
different
cities,
and
but
the
answers
always
come
back
to
the
same.
So
we
asked
them.
Do
you
need
a
proximate
hotel,
one?
That's
just
nearby,
not
necessarily
attached
and
95%
of
event.
X
Planners
say
these
are
convention
event
planners,
so
they
exclude
people
to
do
sports
or
do
consumer
shows.
These
are
just
convention
event,
planners
95%
of
them
either
say
it's
preferred,
82
percent
say
it's
required,
so
it's
extremely
important.
We
asked
them.
Do
you
need
a
headquarters,
hotel
and
86
percent?
Say
it's
preferred
or
required.
So
58
percent
require
it.
So
you
can
see
it's
really
important.
So
we
we
factored
this
in
going
on
the
next
slide
into
our
projections
of
how
the
Convention
Center
would
perform
with
and
without
a
headquarter
Hotel.
X
So
we
have
it
at
the
you
know
the
overall
event
size
is.
A
number
of
events
is
in
hugely
difference.
We
have
146
without
the
hotel
171
with,
but
the
big
difference
is
in
the
number
of
conventions
that
you
would
be
attracting
new
conventions
that
you
get
tracking
would
be
28
new
conventions
with
hotel,
only
18
without
so,
admittedly,
there's
some
judgment
involved
in
this.
But
it's
informed
by
all
that
data
that
we
presented
to
you
and
all
the
analysis.
We've
done
a
lost
business
and
comps
and
so
forth.
X
So
then,
what
about
attendance
and
room
nights
that
would
be
generated
so
with
without
the
hotel?
Those
146
events
would
generate
about
four
and
eighty
four
thousand
attendees,
but
only
a
hundred
thirty
five
thousand
approximately
room
nights
with
a
new
hotel
that
that
number
increases
about
a
hundred
thousand
more
room
nights
per
year
with
a
new
hotel.
It's
what
we're
forecasting,
so
you
can
see
that
because
it's
making
a
big
difference
for
convention
events,
it's
making
a
big
difference
for
the
room
night
impact
and
those
are
those
are
the
events
that
really
generate
economic
impact.
X
So
with
those
has
our
demand
forecasts
going
onto
the
next
slide,
we
we
also
analyzed
well.
How
is
this
hotel
going
to
perform
in
the
market?
What
kind
of
demand
is
it
going
to
bring
in?
So
we
analyzed
a
competitive
set
of
downtown
hotels
and
here's
the
list
of
them
about
two
hundred
twenty
three
hundred
rooms
that
are
currently
in
the
market
today,
and
these
would
be
to
some
extent
not
entirely
but
to
some
extent
to
each
one
of
these
might
compete
with
the
new
Omni
Hotel
going
onto
the
next
slide.
X
This
is
how
supply
and
demand
has
been
growing
since
2009
in
Oklahoma
City,
very
impressive
growth
in
both
supply
and
demand,
and
you
can
see
from
2009
to
2013.
The
the
blue
bar
represents
available
room
nights
in
the
markets.
So
that's
the
number
of
rooms
times
the
number
of
days
in
the
year
available
room,
19,
it's
flat
2013,
then
in
14
we
start
having
in
1516.
We
have
significant
addition
and
supply.
So
what
happens
along
with
that
demand
is
growing
nicely
mildly.
X
We
got
a
kink
in
2013
because
of
economic
conditions
and
the
you
know
the
falling
gas
prices
affects
hotel
demand
recovery
in
14,
but
then
new
supply
comes
in
and
you
see
another
jump
in
the
number
of
occupied
room
nights
shown
in
those
yellow
bars,
so
you've
got
new
supply.
Adding
a
new
demand
is
going
on
with
it
going
into
the
next
slide.
This
is
the
percent
change
annually
in
the
number
of
available
and
occupied
room
nights.
So
what
this
is
showing
us
is
that
we
had.
X
We
had
demand
growth
without
lucify
when
new
supply
came
in
in
2014
it
it
sucked
in
a
lot
of
new
demand
into
the
downtown
market.
Now
some
of
this
was
coming
from
outside
Oklahoma
City.
Some
of
it
was
coming
from
suburban
hotels
that
people
were
staying
there,
but
they
really
wanted
to
be
downtown
and
seeing
there's
a
lot
of
pent-up
demand
in
the
market
for
for
downtown
hotels.
Now
the
question
going
forward
is
this:
is
this
pattern
going
to
continue?
X
X
So
the
dotted
red
line
is
a
revenue
per
available
room
and
that's
a
combined
measure
of
occupancy
and
average
daily
room
rate,
and
you
can
see
that's
kind
of
leveled
out
as
well
so
and
that's
the
impact
of
this
supply
coming
into
the
market.
So
the
question
going
forward
is:
how
is
new
supply
going
to
continue
to
affect
this
market?
How
well,
are
you
going
to
be
able
to
absorb
this?
There's
a
lot
of
new
supply
coming
into
downtown
the
headquarters.
Hotel,
600
rooms
is
one
small
piece
of
that
there's
by
2020.
X
If
you
look
at
everything,
that's
on
the
books
today-
and
this
is
a
list
of
them-
you'll
go
from
about
2,300
rooms
to
about
4300
rooms.
This
is
a
really
substantial
increase
in
the
supply
in
the
market.
So
we
know
from
past
experience
that
some
of
this
new
supply
is
going
to
induce
some
new
demand
into
the
market,
and
but
we
also,
you
know,
think
it's
going
to
actually
have
place
further
downward
pressure
on
occupancy
rates.
X
We
also
when
we
analyzed
this.
You
know
we
weight
this.
So
you
know
a
Staybridge
Suites
in
Bricktown
is
not
100%
competitive
with
a
new
Omni
Hotel,
it's
only
partially
competitive,
so
what
we
weight
the
competitiveness
of
each
one
of
these
properties.
So
on
a
weighted
basis,
you
got
about
the
2100
rooms
in
the
market
and
that's
growing
to
about
6
by
1600
rooms,
to
about
30,
not
3400,
so
we're
seeing
on
a
weighted
basis
about
a
78%
increase
in
supply.
X
So
it's
not
quite
as
dramatic
as
a
total
increase,
because
a
lot
of
these
new
supply
isn't
going
to
be
directly
competitive
so
going
on
to
the
next
slide,
then
this
is
what
our
projected
available
and
occupied
room
nights
are
in
the
market
in
2016
going
forward.
So
we
see
a
really
steady
growth
in
supply,
a
pretty
strong
growth
and
demand
some
because
it's
being
induced
some
because
the
Convention
Center
is
bringing
in
new
new
demand.
That's
all
factored
into
this
estimate
of
how
the
occupied
room
nights
are
going
to
go.
X
So
if
you
look
at
the
next
slide,
this
is
the
resulting
what
we
are
projecting
as
a
resulting
performance
of
the
market.
We
see
occupancy
falling
every
year
through
2020
but
then
beginning
to
recover.
You
know
it'll
get
to
the
point
where
the
market
will
be
built
up
and
there
won't
be
any
incentive
to
invest
into
hotels.
At
that
point,
occupancy
rates
are
going
to
start
to
recover,
as
demand
begins
to
catch
up
with
the
supply.
X
It's
just
kind
of
a
very
typical
cycle,
although
this
is
a
pretty
big
chunk
of
new
supply
coming
into
a
particular
market.
I
think
a
lot
of
it
reflects
the
fact
that
you've
been
under
a
hotel
for
a
long
time.
But
big
question
is
you
know?
What
is
that?
What
is
the
impact
of
that
new
supply?
So
this
is
our
best
estimate
of
what's
going
to
happen,
but
the
resulting
analysis.
We
look
at
how
the
Omni
would
penetrate
that
market.
X
We
think
it
would
open
with
an
occupancy
around
57%
by
2020,
for
that
occupancy
would
grow
to
29%
I
mean
69%
and
the
average
daily
room
right.
We
have
it
positioned
as
a
strong
leader
in
the
market
growing
from
167
dollars
to
about
a
hundred
eighty
seven
dollars
in
2024.
So
so
that's
our
take
on
how
we
had
to
do
this
analysis
of
the
hotel
market,
how
the
Omni
is
going
to
perform,
because
the
Omni
itself
is
going
to
induce
some
new
demand
in
the
market.
X
It's
going
to
bring
meetings
that
are
contained
just
into
the
hotel
that
aren't
occurring
in
Oklahoma
City
today,
so
so
we're
using
that
going
on
to
the
next
slide.
We
we
use
information
about
what
do
demand
the
Omni
is
bringing
and
new
demand.
The
Convention
Center
is
bringing
to
to
analyze
economic
impact
so,
and
this
is
a
depiction
of
our
methodology
for
economic
impact.
We
we
are
very
intent
on
focusing
on
what
the
net
new
impact
is.
This
is
really
important
because
of
a
lot
of
impact.
X
Studies
are
flawed
because
they
they
count
just
the
growth.
All
the
growth
spending
associated
with
the
project
is
only
really
a
new
impact
if
it's
importing
new
income
into
your
economy
right.
So
that's
what
we're
really
trying
to
get
at
how
much
new
income
are
you
going
to
have
in
the
city
economy?
So
we
start
at
the
top
line
with
looking
at
our
demand,
we
look
at
the
visitors
with
the
new
Convention
Center
and
we
take
out
what
you're
currently
doing
today
I
termed
expansion
here,
but
it's
really
new
build
versus
the
existing
building
today.
X
So
that
gives
us
our
net
new
visitors,
so
they're
the
ones
are
generating
the
impact
and
the
meetings
and
the
spending
associated
with
those
events
are
generating
the
impact.
And
then
we
have
data
on
how
much
those
visitors
spend
on.
What's
the
event
planners
spend
how
much
exhibitors
spend
and
we
multiply
that
by
the
new
visitation
that
gives
us
an
estimate
of
then
new,
only
the
new
direct
spending,
that's
in
the
economy.
So
then
you've
got
this
new
spending
in
the
economy.
X
How
is
it
going
to
affect
your
economy
so
that
that's
we
run
through
a
model
of
your
local
area
economy
that
shows
all
the
inputs
and
outputs
of
your
economy
and
we
estimate
that
direct
spending.
So
let's
say
someone
comes
in
visitor,
comes
and
buys
a
t-shirt
right
now
that
the
gross
spending
is
what
they
pay
for
that
t-shirt,
then
that
direct
is
what
the
retail
margins
are,
what
the
retailer
gets
that
stays
in
Oklahoma
City,
that's
the
net
direct
impact,
so
we
don't
take
the
total
direct
spending.
X
We
cut
it
down
to
make
sure
we
that
we
understand
what
direct
spending
is
actually
landing
in
the
economy,
and
then
we
look
at
indirect
spending.
So
let's
say
someone
goes
to
a
restaurant.
The
restaurant
needs
to
buy
food
and
supplies
to
the
extent
that
they
buy
that
locally
within
the
economy.
That's
called
an
indirect
spending.
X
It's
a
new
business
spending
and
then
the
waiter
or
waitress
serving
that
meal
may
have
more
income
because
because
of
tips
and
wages
that,
to
the
extent
that
that
person
spends
that
money
into
the
continent
in
the
economy,
it's
called
an
induced
impact.
So
we
add
those
and
we
actually
have
looked
at
the
economy
by
the
zip
codes
within
the
city
of
Oklahoma
City
and
we
modeled
that
economy
and
we
add
those
things
up,
and
that
gives
us
our
total
impact,
our
dollar
impact
on
the
economy.
X
It
also
generates
an
estimate
of
the
number
of
jobs
that
are
associated
with
that
spending.
So
we
get
this
impact
by
various
job
sector,
whether
it's
in
hospitality
or
in
transportation.
Whatever
sector,
we
know
how
many
jobs
it
takes
to
support
that
kind
of
spending
from
this
model,
and
so
we
estimate
job
acts
as
well
and
then,
as
a
final
step,
we
say:
well
how's
all
that
new
money
in
the
economy.
How
is
it
taxed?
How
does
it
affect
your?
X
What
it
was
the
fiscal
impact
on
the
city
itself,
so
that
that's
the
process
we
go
through
to
do
that
methodology.
So
tried-and-true
methodology
that
really
tries
to
get
a
true
impacts,
not
gross
but
net
and
net
new
real
impacts
on
your
local
economy
so
going
on
in
the
next
slide.
This
is
the
result
of
the
spending
that
we
estimate
so
and
this
again
this
is
net
new
spending
and
it's
stated
in
2017
dollars.
It
would
recur
annually
right.
X
So
without
the
hotel,
we
are
estimating
it's
about
62
million
dollars
annually
with
the
hotel,
nearly
140
million,
a
75
million
dollar
difference.
So
this
new
hotel
has
a
really
significant
net
new
impact
on
spending
flipping
to
the
next
slide.
We
show
what
the
jobs
impacts
are.
So
again,
these
aren't
direct
jobs.
These
are
the
jobs
that
are
supporting,
supported
by
all
that
spending
and
we're
estimating
about
390
without
the
hotel
and
910,
with
a
hotel
of
510
520
difference.
These
are,
and
these
are
full-time
equivalents.
X
Now
you
may
have
heard
some
of
some
other
job
estimates.
We
we
look
at
some
times
its
total
jobs,
which
may
be
double
this
amount
right,
but
we're
looking
there's
a
lot
of
jobs
in
the
hospitality
industry,
our
part-time
right.
So
this
is
we
we
take
this
and
we
convert
those
jobs
into
what
we
consider
a
full-time
equivalent
job.
So
these
would
be
full-time,
good-paying
jobs
in
aggregate,
and
then
we
asked
okay,
the
city,
sales
tax
and
lodging
tax.
X
We
apply
that
to
the
new
spending
and
that
would
generate
about
1.3
million
a
year
in
new
fiscal
impacts
in
2017
dollars
and
with
the
hotel
about
3.2
million.
So
it
gives
an
out
the
hotel.
You
got
about
a
1.9
million
dollar
difference
in
the
total
fiscal
impacts.
So
that's
a
pretty
high-level
summary.
We,
you
know,
we've
got
a
lot
of
I
hope
you
see
we're
really
data
oriented
and
we
have
no
rationale
for
all
the
numbers
that
we've
projected
here.
W
L
W
We
want
to
do
is
kind
of
walk
through
the
terms
of
the
redevelopment
agreement
with
you.
We
included
the
redevelopment
agreement
in
your
council
packets
as
well
as
well
as
a
summary,
that's
a
little
bit
easier
to
to
wade
through
than
going
through
the
the
lengthy
legal
document,
but
just
to
kind
of
go
through
this
relatively
quickly,
but
still
spend
a
little
bit
of
time.
On
the
key
points,
the
parties
to
the
agreement
are
Omni
OKC
LLC,
as
well
as
the
city,
the
oklahoma
city,
urban
renewal
authority
and
the
Oklahoma
City
Economic
Development
trust.
W
There
will
be
several
related
agreements
that
will
come
forward
that
include
the
economic
development
agreement
that
spells
out
how
the
public
participation
will
be
provided
to
the
project.
The
parking
easement,
which
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
parking
in
a
minute,
but
it
will
spell
out
how
Omni
is
to
receive
access
to
450
spaces
in
a
new
parking
garage
and
to
pay
for
those,
as
well
as
a
room
block
agreement
that
will
be
between
Omni,
the
Convention
and
Visitors
Bureau
and
SMG
about
how
the
room
block
will
be
managed.
W
W
W
One
of
the
important
aspects
of
this
agreement
for
Omni
was
what
we
have
defined
as
the
city
projects
and
the
city
projects
are
the
convention
center
a
park
and
the
streetcar,
as
well
as
the
completion
of
a
parking
garage.
Those
City
projects
are
very
important
to
Omni
that
they
be
funded
and
completed
within
the
scope,
according
to
the
scopes
that
the
council
has
already
approved.
W
So
the
city
must
provide
evidence
that
the
city
projects
are
moving
forward,
that
we
own
the
land
for
the
parking
garage
and
that
they
are
fully
funded.
The
city
will
provide
periodic
updates
on
the
schedules
associated
with
the
city
projects,
and
we
will
take
the
steps
necessary
to
implement
the
funding
plan.
W
The
conditions
president
that
Omni
has
to
satisfy
before
closing,
include
preparing
a
preliminary
development
schedule
obtaining
all
necessary
development
approvals,
including
permits
the
design
review,
everything
related
to
construction.
They
have
to
submit
and
prepare
at
their
expense
conceptual
plans
and
hotel
plans.
Those
are
subject
to
approval
by
the
city.
There
will
be
a
preliminary
project
budget
that
they
must
provide
an
evidence
of
projects.
W
In
all
three
cases,
Omni
has
to
believe
that
such
occurrence
will
materially
and
adversely
impact
the
hotel,
so
omni's
obligations
regarding
construction
are
that
they
one
of
the
major
premises
is
that
the
completion
of
the
Convention
Center
Hotel
will
coincide
with
the
completion
of
the
Convention
Center
and
the
parking
garage
a
preliminary
project,
but
schedule
calls
for
construction
to
begin
within
six
months.
After
closing
and
construction
will
last
for
30
months.
We
believe
that
construction
will
actually
last
about
24
months,
but
there
is
some
some
some
wiggle
room
built
into
the
schedule
for
for
contingencies.
W
Again,
we
have
to
ensure
that
the
Convention
Center
is
continually
operated
as
the
city's
primary
Convention
Center
and
that
it's
maintained
to
the
same
standard
that
it
was
built
to
the
hotel
has
to
be
designated
as
the
city's
Convention
Center
Hotel.
Once
construction
is
underway,
the
convention
center
must
stay
substantially
in
compliance
schedule.
W
W
So
the
in
the
redevelopment
agreement
on
these
obligations
for
hotel
operations
is
that
they
must
keep
the
hotel
open
continually.
They
must
meet
the
minimum
operating
standards
for
a
triple
a
for
diamond
and
their
own
brand
standards.
They
must
materially
comply
with
the
room
block
agreement.
They
have
to
reconstruct
the
hotel
if
it
is
damaged
or
destroyed,
and
they
have
to
use
the
property
only
as
a
hotel,
as
required
by
the
redevelopment
agreement
for
45
years
or
if
the
new
Convention
Center
is
no
longer
used
as
the
city's
main
Convention
Center.
W
W
Omni
will
not
be
and
again,
Omni
will
not
be
obligated
to
open
until
the
garage
is
operational,
but
again
they
can
agree
to
use
substitute
parking
arrangements
or
temporary
parking.
The
city
and
Omni
have
reciprocal
rights
of
access
to
each
other
spaces,
so,
for
example,
if
the
hotel
doesn't
need
all
450
of
their
spaces,
but
the
city
or
CVB
needs
those
space,
some
of
those
spaces
for
an
event.
We
have
access
to
each
other
spaces
if
we
need
them
and
the
city
will
be
obligated
to
cause
the
reconstruction
of
the
garage
if
it's
destroyed.
W
There
are
defaults
and
termination
provisions
in
the
agreement
prior
to
closing
the
right.
The
parties
have
the
right
to
terminate
the
agreement
if
the
conditions
precedent
are
not
met
any
condition
precedent
within
the
city's
control.
If
any
of
the
conditions,
president
within
the
city's
control
are
not
met.
The
city
is
obligated
to
pay
Omni
up
to
1
million
two
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
for
their
design
expenses,
their
out-of-pocket
expenses
related
to
design
and
development
of
the
hotel
if
they
terminate
prior.
W
If
Omni
decides
to
terminate
prior
to
closing
because
they
believe
the
project
is
no
longer
economically
feasible,
they
are
not
entitled
to
receive
the
1
million
two
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars.
After
closing,
if
Omni
defaults
on
its
performing
or
abandons
the
project,
the
city
will
notify
Omni.
W
One
of
the
one
of
the
provisions
in
the
agreement
is
that
there
will
be
certain
restrictions
on
other
sites
downtown
and
a
no
subsidy
zone.
The
agreement
requires
that
the
existing
Cox
Convention
Center
will
not
be
used
as
the
city's
main
Convention
Center
one
year
after
the
hotel
has
issued
its
certificate
of
occupancy.
The
city
cannot
permit
another
hotel
on
the
Cox
Convention
Center
site
for
ten
years.
They
cannot
permit
another
Hotel
of
over
200
rooms
for
20
years.
W
Omni
has
a
right
of
first
negotiation
to
develop
a
hotel
on
that
site.
If,
sometime
in
the
future,
they
believe
that
that
makes
sense,
the
next
thing
is
the
provision
of
a
no
subsidy
zone.
So,
15
years
after
the
hotel
receives
its
certificate
of
occupancy,
there
will
be
no
public
contribution
or
subsidy
to
a
hotel
within
the
nose
subsidy
zone,
and
we
can
go
to
the
next
slide.
This
is
a
illustration
of
the
no
subsidy
zone,
basically
is
from
I-40
to
DNA,
mcgee,
Russell
and
Perry
on
the
east
to
Lee
Avenue
on
the
west.
W
W
W
Just
a
little
bit
of
context
for
the
public
participation.
That's
a
part
of
this
project,
Oklahoma
City,
the
public
participation
that
is
a
part
of
the
agreement,
is
eighty
five
point,
four
million
that
represents
about
36%
of
the
project
costs
we've
provided
some
comparisons
to
other
projects
that
have
been
recently
completed
or
underway.
Just
to
show
you
that
we
are
in
kind
of
the
low
end
of
the
spectrum.
W
Certainly
Nashville
at
sixty-one
percent
is
a
pretty
substantial
subsidy
to
their
project,
and
I
will
say
that
the
footnotes
are
important.
We
did
try
to
make
this
an
apples
to
apples
comparison
taking
out
the
land
if
the
cities
provided
land,
because
our
eighty
five
point,
four
million-
does
not
include
the
land.
W
These
are
some
examples
in
Oklahoma
there
are
several
cities
in
Oklahoma
that
have
built
what
I
would
call
conference,
hotels
or
conference
centers.
Maybe
the
most
notable
one
is
Midwest
City,
where
they
own
their
conference.
Hotel
and
the
city
operates
it
go
on
okay,
so
in
the
in
the
redevelopment
agreement
there
is
a
public
contribution
of
eighty
five
point:
four
million
the
public.
The
public
participation
will
be
the
first
monies
paid
towards
construction.
Once
our
money
is
paid,
omni's
150
million
dollars
will
be
used
for
the
construction.
W
The
payments
from
Omni
in
the
agreement
Omni
is
required
to
make
certain
payments
from
to
the
city
as
a
part
of
the
agreement.
They
will
pay
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
annually
as
a
land
payment
that
will
escalate
by
the
CPI
for
twenty
five
years
commencing
the
fifth
year
after
the
completion
of
the
hotel.
W
They
will
also
be
required
to
make
a
minimum
ad
valorem
tax
payment
of
1.4
million
for
30
years
or
until
termination
of
the
taxing
increment
financing
district,
and
there
is
also
a
provision
in
the
agreement
where
the
city
can
possibly
share
or
can
share
in
the
upside
of
the
hotel
once
it
reaches
a
net
operating
income
of
excess
of
20
million.
So
when
they
operate,
when
the,
when
the
hotel
operations
exceed
a
net
operating
income
of
20
million
dollars,
the
city
will
pay.
W
The
city
will
receive
a
10%
10%
of
that
net
operating
income
payment
subject
to
a
cap
of
15
million
dollars
in
the
aggregate,
and
this
next
part
of
the
presentation
will
be
with
Craig
Freeman.
But
before
Craig
gets
up
here
and
speaks
I'd
like
Bob
Rowling
to
come
up
and
make
a
few
comments
to
you
about
the
redevelopment
agreement
and
about
their
their
history
and
how
their
company
works.
Y
Thank
You,
mayor
and
councilmember,
we
appreciate
you,
let
us
come
in
here
and
give
us
up.
Given
our
presentation.
I
want
to
introduce
some
of
our
team
members.
Mike
Smith
is
our
senior
vice
president
of
land
and
development
worked
very
hard
on
this
agreement.
Jim
Caldwell
is
the
CEO
and
president
of
Omni
hotels.
Microing
is
the
president
of
territory
holdings,
which
is
the
holding
company
which
owns
Omni
and
Gold's
gems
and
various
other
in
oil
and
gas
investments.
I'm
tell
you
first
a
little
bit
about
Omni.
Y
If
you
don't
know,
we
have
about
60
hotels
operating
in
North
America.
We
take
a
very
local
approach
to
building
our
properties.
We
don't
want
to
build
something
here.
It's
just
a
bland
rooms
box
that
you
might
see
in
any
city
in
America
really
take
time
to
understand.
What's
going
on
at
Oklahoma
City
and
build
accordingly
food
and
we're
also
not
a
hotel
that
we
just
throw
up
a
hotel
and
hope
people
come.
We
take
a
lot
of
pride
in
our
culinary
experience
in
our
hotels.
Y
Let
me
say
what
perhaps
the
most
unusual
thing
about
our
structure
is
that
we
own
and
we
operate
our
hotels
most
of
the
brands
in
America
today.
Marriott's
are
Starwood's
westerns,
whoever
they
are,
they
don't
want
to
own
any
real
estate
and
all
they
want
to
do
is
manage
take
a
fee.
We
want
to
own
and
manage.
That
means
we
are
taking
and
making
an
investment
in
your
community.
We're
not
just
looking
for
fees
out
of
here.
Y
We
want
to
be
a
stakeholder
in
your
community,
so
I
mean
little
bit
about
you
know
what
we've
been
doing
in
terms
of
these
public/private
ventures.
I
think
Kathy
showed
you
a
few
of
them,
but
let
me
give
you
a
little
review
like
the
Omni
Fort
Worth
is
600
rooms.
It
was
a
public-private
venture
with
the
city.
It
completely
changed
that
the
downtown
Fort
Worth,
the
commission
center
activity
or
Drupal.
It's
been
fabulously
successful
at
the
city
and
for
us
the
Omni
Nashville
hotel,
which
is
800
rooms.
Y
They
built
a
brand
new
Convention
Center
much
like
you're
doing
we
built
an
800
room
hotel
across
the
street
and
it's
been
I
would
say,
tell
you
that
there's
I
think
there's
12
hotels
in
Nashville
under
construction
right
now.
It's
set
off
a
boom
in
Nashville
and
our
hotel
in
the
convention
center.
Much
like
you're
doing
here
is
what
started
it.
The
Omni
Frisco
hotel
we're
building
a
hotel
in
partnership
with
Frisco
the
Frisco
Independent
School
District.
Y
Our
partner
is
the
Dallas
Cowboys,
the
Jones
family,
we're
opening
this
hotel
next
week,
Frisco
brought
2012,
Cowboys
and
Frisco
contribute
twenty
point:
five
million
our
hotel.
To
give
you
an
idea
there
there
it's
a
booming
area.
Frisco
is
its
North
Dallas.
If
you
haven't
been
there
and
in
the
last
couple
of
years
there
have
been
multiple
hotels,
open
fact:
the
Renaissance
open
I
think
last
week
or
two
weeks
ago,
there's
a
brand
new
Hilton,
there's
a
fairly
new
Marriott.
Nothing
it's
been
built
up.
Y
Y
What
it's
going
to
cost
the
hotel
will
feature
600
guestrooms
and
one
thing
that
we're
doing
is:
if
you
walk
into
one
of
our
guest
rooms
and
I
hope,
you've
been
to
Dallas
or
to
Fort
Worth
or
to
Lou
of
Nashville
we're
not
the
rings
are,
unlike
anything,
you
will
see
in
a
Convention,
Center
Hotel
I
mean
they're,
really
high
quality.
We
spending
a
lot
of
money
in
the
rooms
and
that's
what
we
plan
for
this
facility
Ram
about
50,000
square
feet
of
meeting
space.
We
want
a
pool
deck
spa
fitness
facility.
Y
This
is
going
to
be
a
knocked
out
hotel
that
you
all
will
be
unbelievably
proud
of.
We
expect
to
draw
not
only
conventions,
but
we
expect
limited
a
it's
an
interesting
statistic.
We
opened
the
Dallas
hotel
about
five
years
ago,
the
Convention
Center
Hotel
downtown
it's
a
city
owned
hotel
that
omni's
the
operator
and
for
the
last
two
plus
years,
something
happened
that
we
would
never
expect
it.
We've
been
running,
90%
occupancy
on
weekends
and
that's
primarily
steak
excite-ation
errs
we
would
have
met.
We
never
thought
that
could.
Y
They
come
in
and
it's
primarily
locals
who
come
in
and
spend
the
weekend.
If
we
didn't
own
it,
we
would
made
the
pool
four
times
the
size
that
we
did,
but
it's
bent,
and
we
really
think
that
we
can
do
that
here.
We
think
that
this
could
be
a
facility
that
you
know
that
locals
come
to
and
spend
the
weekend
and
we're
going
to
have
great
food
and
beverage
offerings,
and
we
think
we
can
do
the
same
thing
here.
Let
me
talk
about
you
know
the.
Y
In
the
room
a
little
bit,
the
the
subsidy
we'll
talk
about
hotels,
have
seen
what
you
all
are
doing
here
and
I
know.
There's
no
disagreement.
You
know
among
among
people
on
this,
you
you
would
bring
eighty
five
million
to
the
project.
We'd
bring
150
will
write
a
check
in
Louisville,
for
example,
there
is
no
debt
on
Louisville
writing
or
writing
a
check
every
month
to
pay
for
that
hotel.
We
plan
to
do
the
same
thing
here
there.
What
we
won't,
certainly
initially
put
any
doubt
on
this
property,
we'll
build
it
out
of
cash
flow.
Y
Y
Why
are
we
doing
anything?
Why
is
the
city
being
required
to
do
anything?
And
the
answer
is
because
these
projects
can't
be
built
in
almost
any
city.
There
may
be
a
few
rare
exceptions,
but
these
projects
can't
be
built
without
city
subsidies.
Let
me
attend,
for
example,
are
you
saw
that
the
The
Times
pkf
analysis
there
and
he
showed
you
what
he
projects
that
they
project
our
rate
to
be
in
2021
and
our
occupancy?
Let
me
tell
you
that
we've
done
a
pro
forma
and
we
have.
Y
We
think
we're
going
to
do
a
lot
better
and
he
thinks
we're
going
to
do.
We
think
we're
gonna
have
higher
occupancy.
We
think
we're
going
to
have
a
higher
rate,
but
you
know
what
our
rate
of
return
on
this
investment
with
your
subsidy
is
twelve
point.
Seven
percent-
and
that's
not
very
good
I-
mean
most
of
you
in
the
investment
business
in
twelve
point,
seven
percent
and
there's
a
lot
of
risk
to
that.
You
know
we
could
go
into
recession
all
right.
We
could
we
could,
if
our
occupancy
czar,
what
you
know
PW.
Y
What
would
a
Tsar,
HVF
aurochs
means
what
HIVs
has
projected
then
we're
going
to
we're
not
going
to
make
any
money
in
this
hotel,
and
that's
the
reason
that
you
just
can't
build
these
things
and
get
the
rates
and
occupancy
in
these
cities
to
justify
the
investment
without
the
subsidy.
So
let
me
address,
let
me
dress
specifically
councilman
shade
some
of
your
comments
and
it
should
eat
I'm.
Sorry
and
your
I've
read
some
of
your
comments.
Y
Let's
just
say
that
wise
men
can
disagree,
okay
and
then
I
one
of
them
you,
you
said
you
kind
of
accuse
me
of
being
a
parasite
and
a
predator
for
extracting
the
the
city,
subsidy
and
I
would
say
that
number
one.
We
can
disagree,
but
you're
wrong
on
this.
Nothing
could
be
further
from
the
truth.
You
know
a
parasite
is
somebody
is
something
that
depends
on
the
another
organization
to
survive.
Y
I
mean
what
we're
trying
to
do
here
is
bring
150
million
dollars
and
inject
it
in
this
city
to
bring
life
and
vitality
to
your
downtown.
That's
what
we
want
to
do
now.
The
second
thing
you
said:
you
said
that
this
is
a
massive
investment
and
a
dying
industry
full
of
minimum
and
low-paying
jobs.
Okay,
I
think
that's
quote.
Y
So
let
me
tell
you
over
60%
of
the
construction
work
is
going
to
go
to
local
subcontractors
and,
within
this
community,
we're
going
to
be
having
between
200
and
250
people
working
on
the
site
every
day
and
peaking
at
6
to
700
people.
Keep
in
mind
that
of
the
of
the
total
235
million
that's
invested,
a
great
percentage
of
it
is
going
to
go
straight
into
the
pockets
of
local,
hard-working
Oklahoma
City
residents,
a
great
percentage
of
it
when
the
hotel
opens.
Y
Let's
talk
about
that
when
the
hotel
opens
we're
going
to
have
about
70,
full-time
managers
and
375
full-time
equivalent
employees,
that's
a
total
of
450
jobs.
Yes,
some
are
low-paying,
but
a
lot
of
them
are
not,
and
we
take
a
lot
of
pride
in
our
training
program
at
Omni
you're
going
to
have
450
ambassador's
selling,
Oklahoma
City,
this
hotel
and
our
company.
We
have.
This
thing
is
called
a
trilogy
and
what
we,
what
it
does
it
says
that
the
the
nobody
has
more
value
than
anybody
else.
Y
So
we
have
the
we
have
the
customers,
we
have
our
so
shi'ites
and
then
we
have
the
ownership,
which
is
us
they
all
it's
a
trilogy.
They
all
have
equal
value.
So
you
look
at
our
associates
that
come
to
work
for
us,
450
people
that
will
be
working
here,
they're
part
of
our
family
we're
a
privately
held
company.
We
care
about
their
lives,
we
care
for
them.
We
have
a
thing
called
the
Omni
circle,
but
somebody
gets
in
trouble
people
we
all
chip
in.
We
pay
for
their
help.
Y
Our
associate
engagement
survey
among
our
associates
that
work
for
us
and
we
have
23,000
associates
I,
don't
think.
There's
anybody
industry
just
talk
talk
to
some
of
our
associates.
We
have
people
that
work
for
us
for
longer
than
I've
been
around
army
and
then
they
love
the
company
and
we're
dedicated
to
them.
So,
yes,
it's
450
jobs,
they're,
not
all
high-paying
jobs,
but
you
know
what
even
the
low
paying
jobs
they
have
an
option.
They
get.
The
health
benefits
retirement
benefits
they
get
to
participate
in
all
those
things
that
they
choose.
Y
So
it's
and
it's
not
it's
not
a
dying
industry.
At
all,
I
mean
we
have
read:
building
Fort
Worth
go
to
Nashville,
we
have
these,
cities
are
being
rejuvenated
by
Convention,
Center,
hotels
and,
and
we've
been
proud
to
be
a
part
of
it.
Let
me
say
one
thing
follow
with
regardless
of
seat
if
seven
years
now
we're
all
sitting
in
this
room,
everybody
sitting
there
saying
somebody
says:
oh,
my
gosh
did
we
ever
make
a
mistake:
we
paid
Omni,
we
contributed
85
million
of
this
project
and
that
they
could
have
done
it
without
the
subsidy.
Y
You
know
what
everybody
in
this
city
then
will
be
cheering,
because
that
means
your
convention
centers
for
your
other
hotels,
will
be
full.
Your
restaurants
will
be
full
and
you
know
what
you
will
be:
collecting
occupancy
taxes,
sales
taxes
ad
valorem
taxes,
far
in
excess
of
anything
that
any
of
us
currently
project.
So
that
would
be
a
great
thing
if
the
85
million
is
too
much.
It
would
be
a
great
thing
for
you
and
for
me,
so
I
want
to
just
tell
you
you
know
we
like
this
market.
We
think
we
can
be
real
successful.
Y
You
know
these
conventions,
these
these
groups
is
rotate
and
we
have
a
victim.
We
have
the
Convention
Center
Hotel
in
Dallas
we
have
the
convention
center
hotel
in
Fort
Worth
in
Nashville
in
Atlanta,
and
we
think
we
can
bring
a
lot
of
great
business
here
and
when
you
look
at
your
surveys,
the
thing
that's
lacking
in
this
market
right
now
is
really
not
the
transient,
it's
the
group,
and
so
we
want
we
want
to
be
here.
Y
We
think
we
can
do
a
great
job,
we're
excited
about
the
other
things
you're
doing
your
Convention
Center
Park,
streetcar
project.
You
know,
what's
going
on
breakdown,
we're
excited
about
being
here.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
We
really
appreciate
it
and
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
work
with
y'all.
Thank
you.
Thanks.
B
Z
All
right
we're
going
to
take
a
look
at
the
financing
plan
that
we
developed
so
as
we've
talked
through
the
benefits
that
the
hotel
brings
to
us
and
the
opportunities
that
we
have
going
forward.
We've
developed
a
funding
plan
or
a
financing
plan
that
was
in
association
with
the
public
participation,
that's
included
within
the
agreement.
So
when
we
look
at
that,
the
idea
right
now
we've
worked
through
I,
want
to
mention
too,
that
we've
got
a
team.
That's
worked
together.
Z
The
Alliance
for
economic
development
has
worked
with
the
manager's
office,
the
finance
department
of
municipal
councillors,
office
we've
worked
with
our
consultants.
We've
worked
with
our
financial
advisors
to
develop
a
financing
plan,
and
this
is
really
a
preliminary
financing
plan
that
we
have
right
now,
as
we
move
closer
to
the
date
that
we
actually
issue
the
bonds
that
may
change
some,
but
based
on
that
and
the
need
that
we
have
for
the
public
participation.
The
plan
is
that
the
economic
Economic
Development
Trust
will
issue
bonds
that
would
be
repaid.
Z
It
would
be
revenue,
bonds,
repaid
over
a
25-year
period
and
they'd
be
backed
by
a
moral
obligation
in
the
cities.
There's
a
higher
level
of
commitment
from
the
city
to
ensure
that
the
bonds
will
be
repaid
to
get
us
more
favorable
bond
ratings
and
a
more
favorable
bond,
our
borrowing
costs
and
as
we
get
closer
as
I
said
that
there
may
seem
be
some
changes
in
what
we
have
in
this
financing
plan.
But
but
based
upon
that
financing
plan
that
led
us
to
our
funding
plan
and
the
funding
plan,
we
had
several
goals.
Z
Z
One
of
the
plan
goals
we
have
was
to
maximize
the
sources
of
revenue
generated
by
the
hotel
and
you'll
see
when
we
get
into
the
plan.
It's
about
50%
of
the
gross
revenues
that
are
generated
from
the
funding
plan
come
directly
from
the
hotel,
so
those
are
revenues
that
wouldn't
be
available
for
other
purposes.
There
wouldn't
even
be
available
if
it
weren't
for
the
fact
of
the
hotel
existing.
Z
We
want
to
provide
multiple
sources
of
revenue
or
funding
to
match
the
cash
flows
with
those
revenue
sources
to
the
debt
service
requirements
of
the
financing,
and
we
also
want
to
have
the
multiple
sources
to
help
us
manage
the
challenges
that
we
know.
You'll
experience
over
a
25-year
period
use
available
sources
of
revenue
from
other
successful
projects
or
many
different
economic
development
projects
that
have
been
successful
within
the
city,
and
many
of
them
are
in
a
position
now
they
can
contribute
back
to
help
support
a
project
like
this
and
then.
Z
Finally,
we
wanted
to
structure
the
plan
to
include
a
revenue
stabilization
fund
and
that
revenue
stabilization
fund
would
be
structured
so
that
any
revenues
that
are
flowing
in
that
are
in
excess.
You
know
from
the
plan
they're
in
excess
of
the
debt
service
requirements
in
a
year
would
flow
into
a
revenue,
Stabilization
Fund,
which
would
then
provide
further
strength
to
be
able
to
weather
challenges
that
could
come,
and
so
we
have
that
support.
Z
If
we
build
that
revenue
Stabilization
Fund,
we
have
that
additional
support
that
if
any
year
we
didn't
have
sufficient
revenues
to
cover
the
debt
service.
From
our
funding
plan,
we
could
draw
against
that
revenue,
Stabilization
Fund
and
be
able
to
use
that
to
provide
an
additional
buffer
additional
strength
in
the
plan
before
we'd
be
at
a
point
that
we
would
need
to
rely
on
operating
fund.
So
our
goal
really
is
to
protect
this
so
that
this
plan
can
stand
on
its
own.
Z
Z
Those
are
the
present
value
of
the
different
cash
flows,
and
so
we
tried
to
look
at
it
as
a
low,
medium
and
high
success,
and
this
really
refers
primarily
to
the
success
of
the
hotel,
but
also
to
the
success
of
these
other
projects
and
try
to
look
at
that.
As
a
funding
plan.
The
present
value
of
what
these
cash
flows
could
produce
to
help
us
in
funding
this
project.
The
plan
provides
a
reasonable
range
when
you
look
at
this
range
of
high
medium
and
low
success.
Z
First
within
the
tax
increment
finance
district
will
have
their
hotel
property
tax.
An
omni
has
agreed
to
a
minimum
tax,
as
Kathy
said
of
1.4
million
dollars
a
year
on
our
low
success
and
medium
success.
We
just
took
that
1.4
million
dollars
and
took
that
out
throughout
the
life
of
the
project
on
the
high
success
we
use
more
closer
to
what
their
pro
forma
was.
A
performance
shows
that
they
would
pay
above
that
that
low
lower
level
the
minimum
tax
require
agreement.
Z
But
so
we
use
that
on
the
high
success,
use
more
something
closer
to
the
Performa
on
the
hotel
sales
tax
and
occupancy
tax.
We
looked
at
omni's
performer
with
our
hotel
consultants.
We
use
their
pro
form
as
our
high
success
and,
in
fact,
off
of
that,
both
on
the
occupancy
and
on
our
average
daily
rate.
As
we
looked
at
the
medium
and
a
low
success
and
and
as
mr.
Z
Rowling
said,
if
we,
if
we
went
down
to
the
low
success,
this
would
probably
be
one
of
the
lowest
performing
on
these
that
they've
have
in
the
country.
So
it's
something
that's
on
a
very
low
side,
I
think
a
very
conservative
and
reasonable
look
at
what
we
would
expect
in
the
revenues
that
would
be
provided.
The
state
leverage
act.
Z
That's
agreed
to
of
the
$200,000
a
year
in
the
medium
and
high
success.
We
used
a
little
bit
of
an
inflation
factor
on
those
when
you
move
down
into
the
other
existing
sources
that
we
have
from
these
other
successful
projects,
the
Skirvin
lease
and
mortgage
payment
that
are
part
of
the
agreement
on
the
low
end.
We
assumed
a
few
years
in
the
Skirvin
cells
and
if
it
sells,
then
you
have
to
pay
off
the
mortgage
and
you
monetize,
basically
or
capitalized
the
value
of
that
lease.
Z
And
then
we
would
have
that
revenue
to
be
able
to
set
aside
and
help
pay
our
costs,
but
that's
actually
the
low
scenario
we
just
used
based
on
what
our
experience
has
been
just
a
medium
and
a
high
success
for
the
other
two
scenarios
for
the
for
the
performance
of
the
hotel
on
tip
2.
We
assumed,
on
a
low
level
that
we
have
just
the
current
values
that
we
currently
the
projects
that
we
know
are
being
built
now
or
have
been
incentivized
and
used
no
additional
growth
and
then
a
medium-high.
Z
We
assumed
additional
growth
and
maximizing
that
revenue
source
on
the
quarter
short.
If
that
quarter
short
tip,
would
actually
also
include
the
host
hotel.
We
broke
those
out,
so
we
could
show
those
individually,
but
it
does
include
the
BOK
Park,
Plaza
building
and
all
we've
included
in
the
quarter.
Short
TIFF
portion
here
is
the
estimated
value
that
would
be
available
to
the
city
on,
depending
on
how
the
building
is
valued
at
a
high
to
medium
and
low
success.
Z
We
did
not
include
any
other
growth
or
any
other
development.
You
think,
over
a
25-year
period
within
that
area.
The
likelihood
is,
there's
going
to
be
additional
growth
at
additional
development
on
TIF
8,
currently
within
the
Devon
TIF,
and
it's
funded
all
the
wonderful
infrastructure
improvements
and
the
streetscape
improvements
that
we've
seen
downtown,
there's.
Actually
additional
revenue,
that's
paid
based
on
their
minimum
tax
agreement
that
exceeds
the
amount
of
the
debt
service.
Z
We
have
assumed
on
the
low
level
that
we
could
use
that
additional
revenue
to
be
able
to
help
with
the
project
for
about
nine
years,
and
then
we
maximize
it
with
the
ten
years
left
in
that
TIF
for
the
for
the
medium
and
the
high
success,
and
then
the
Bass
Pro
lease
again.
We
just
use
differing
levels
of
success
of
that
project
and
actually,
in
all
of
our
levels,
of
probably
the
high
level
success
is
close
to
about
what
we've
had
on
average.
Z
So
we've
been
pretty
conservative
on
that
with
their
assumptions,
as
I
said
before,
you
know.
We
know
that
we're
going
to
experience
challenges
over
25
years
of
a
financing
plant,
and
because
of
that,
we
want
to
structure
this
as
a
package
and
that's
why
it's
so
important
that
we
make
sure
that
as
we
go
forward
and
work
towards
there's
several
steps,
that
Kathy
will
talk
about.
That
need
to
be
taken
to
be
able
to
make
these
revenues
available
and
get
them
in
place.
Z
But
as
we
move
forward
that
we
keep
all
of
these
revenues
in
this
plan
and
that
we
maximize
the
revenues
that
are
in
the
plan
allow
that
to
flow
into
a
Stabilization
Fund
in
the
way
that
the
funding
plan
is
written.
That
would
flow
into
the
Stabilization
Fund,
which
could
be
used
to
pay
down
debt
or
quickly
or
once
it
reaches
a
certain
level,
could
be
used
also
to
flow
back
into
other
economic
development
projects.
W
W
A
couple
things
to
point
out
the
eighty
five
point:
four
million
dollars
in
public
participation
is
the
most
that
the
city
will
contribute
if
the
project
costs
go
above.
Two
hundred
and
thirty
five
and
a
half
million
dollars,
Omni
will
will
be
they'll
have
to
pick
up
the
difference,
so
that
is
the
the
most
that
the
cities
on
the
line
for,
but
the
real
reason
that
we
do
these.
W
You
know
the
real
reason
we
do
these
projects
for
the
economic
impact
that
they
generate
for
the
jobs
that
they
create
for
this
spinoff
income
in
the
local
economy
or
the
taxes
that
they
generate.
So,
just
as
a
reminder,
over
a
ten-year
period,
it's
estimated
that
the
economic
impact
of
the
Convention
Center
with
a
Convention
Center
Hotel,
is
over
1.3
billion
in
net
new
spending.
W
W
So
our
recommendation
to
you
today
is
that
you
move
forward
with
approving
the
redevelopment
agreement
with
approving
the
hotel
funding
plan
and
taking
directing
staff
to
take
the
steps
necessary
to
bring
the
other
items
forward
to
implement
the
funding
plan
and
the
redevelopment
agreement.
So
with
that
I
think
we're
ready
for
questions
all.
B
Right,
I
assume
everybody
on
the
council
wants
to
talk,
so
we
probably
all
have
some
sort
of
order
here.
We
have
a
handful
of
people,
not
really
a
whole
lot
that
one.
If
speak,
we
want
to
hear
from
them.
First
they
have
signed
up
and
then
we'll
make
one
round
of
council
comments
and
then
hopefully,
we'll
have
a
vote.

Thank
you.
Love's
is
proud
to
call
Oklahoma
City
our
home.
As
such.
We
host
many
corporate
meetings
here
and
would
like
to
do
so
as
we
continue
to
grow
our
company
work
site
about
the
possibilities
of
the
new
Convention
Center,
as
well
as
the
joining
hotel
and
those
possibilities
to
allow
us
to
continue
meeting
here
in
Oklahoma
City.
The
impression
that
we
make
when
visitors
come
to
our
community
is
very
important.
AA
This
new
facility
will
dramatically
change
the
experience
that
visitors
have
when
they
come
here
as
the
executive,
charged
with
making
loves
meetings
a
success
having
a
quality
headquarters
hotel
would
be
a
true
asset
for
our
market.
I,
encourage
you
to
support
this
proposal
thanks
very
much
thanks.
L
You
know
the
downtown
or
as
a
hotel,
your
general,
it's
not
often
that
I
would
agree
to
stand
up
here
and
speak
on
behalf
or
hotel
rooms
coming
into
the
market,
especially
in
apartment.
Excuse
me,
especially
in
a
market
like
this,
that's
currently
at
2,300
and
you
know
close
to
double
by
2020,
but
a
project
like
there's
a
little
bit
different,
most
hotels
don't
generate
demand.
This
is
a
property
that
actually
I
believe
will
generate
demand.
L
I've
seen
some
of
the
other
projects
and
I'm
not
here
to
speak
on
behalf
of
Omni
as
much
as
disagreement
in
general,
but
I
have
seen
some
of
the
other
projects
and
I
have
seen
where
in
many
cities
that
they've
done
this,
the
hotel
rates
have
actually
increased
and
our
projections,
you
know
what
we
look
at-
is
actually
a
little
better
than
what
HBS
has
I'm.
Certainly
hoping
you
know
when
a
downtown
hotel
is
here,
we
rely
oftentimes
on
conventions
to
come
into
town.
L
Those
are
the
big
numbers
belongs
at
the
top
of
the
HDS
presentation.
When
those
are
here
they
can
make
your
month.
We
benefit
greatly
from
the
activity
around
the
Convention
Center,
with
room
nights
with
food
and
beverage
opportunities
and
revenues
that
come
with
that
our
community,
we
believe,
could
double
in
the
number
of
meetings
with
this
property
and
more
than
double
the
amount
of
room
nights
that
are
our
communities
even
on
an
annual
basis.
L
AB
Morning,
John
well
mastic
43:19,
northwest
59th
Street.
We've
heard
some
great
presentations
here.
I
think
a
case
has
been
made
for
perhaps
two
privately
funded
hotels
instead
of
a
single
Convention,
Center
Hotel
I,
don't
see
the
need
for
such
a
big
subsidy
in
this
idea
that
other
hotels
would
flourish
and
take
take
root
in
the
in
the
wake
of
this
massive
subsidy.
Look
at
all
the
hotels
in
Bricktown
who's
to
say,
Hilton
and
some
of
the
others
wouldn't
just
be
proud
to
have
this
same
spot.
AB
A
couple
of
them
paired
up
together
with
meeting
space
in
between
I,
don't
know,
I
assume,
that's
been
looked
at
and
I
think
this
is
a
better
TIF,
a
better
plan
than
some
of
the
others.
We've
seen.
This
is
really
good,
but
I
don't
know
that
some
of
these
other
options
have
really
been
looked
at.
Also,
you
know
we're
completely
neglecting
we're
not
talking
about
education.
AB
I
know
that's
not
why
we're
here
today,
but
when
we're
looking
at
this
and
we're
looking
at
what
we've
not
done
for
the
kids
and
the
schools
and
the
stakes
not
doing
anything
in
the
Oklahoma
City
Schools
their
school
board,
they're,
not
really
taking
care
of
it.
I
think
it's
our
responsibility,
I
think
it's
your
responsibility.
AB
We've
got
all
this
money
that
we
want
to
give
away
and
who's
to
say
that
if
we
invested
it
in
people
instead
of
a
hotel
at
buildings,
we
might
not
come
up
with
another
Rick
Cornett,
another
Aubrey
McClendon,
Harold,
Hamm,
Larry,
Nichols,
and
so
many
other
good
people
like
yourselves.
That
would
invest
in
the
community
and
put
so
much
more
back
into
the
community
than
just
a
single
hotel.
We
need
to
ignite
and
fire
up
the
imaginations
of
our
community
and
our
teachers
and
get
kids
a
real
chance
to
grow
in
our
public
schools.
AC
Good
morning
attitude,
another
six:
zero,
zero,
seven
South
Country
Club
Drive,
south
Oklahoma
City
good
morning.
My
name
is
not
a
poodle,
got
a
little
business
manager
with
the
laborers
Union
right
located
right
here
in
the
heart
of
Oklahoma
City
I'm,
a
proud
South,
Sider,
strong
roots
in
South
Oklahoma
City.
So
I
want
to
thank
mayor
city
council
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
today
for
the
community
or
sorry
I
had
to
write
this
down.
I'm,
not
much
of
a
public
speaker,
commitment
to
building
a
better
city
for
all
of
our
residents.
AC
I
want
to
especially
thank
councilman
John
Pettis,
who
has
been
strong
advocate
for
using
public
dollars
to
incentivize
training
and
good-paying
family-supporting
jobs
for
living
for
people
that
live
in
our
community
Labor's
are
here
to
support
the
new
Convention
Center
Hotel
project
and
welcome
Omni
hotels
to
Oklahoma
City,
because
we
know
it
is
a
huge
opportunity
to
invest
in
our
people
in
Oklahoma
in
Oklahoma
City
I'm.
Here,
because
we
want
to
the
opportunity
to
work
with
Oklahoma,
City
and
Omni
hotels
to
ensure
we
recruit
local
folks
who
need
good
jobs.
AC
We
take
the
time
to
train
them.
Work
safely
and
provide
them
with
the
skills
to
be
successful,
and
then
we
actually
put
them
to
work
together
to
top-quality
Convention
Center
Hotel
that
we
can
all
be
proud
of
in
the
community.
Labor's
are
proud
to
provide
the
best
construction
career
workers
trained
in
in
the
industry,
we're
also
a
product
to
provide
a
skilled
local
workforce.
So
if
we
so,
we
hope
to
work
with
local
contractors
that
will
commit
to
hiring
local
folks.
AC
The
labor
stand
with
council
impetus
to
call
on
each
of
you
to
support
the
important
project,
but
if
only
if
we
can
guarantee
provisions
that
provide
community
benefit
to
folks
that
are
struggling
to
make
ends
meet
and
need
the
opportunity
to
start
real
careers
in
the
construction
industry.
Thank
you
for
your
time
for
doing
the
right
thing.
Supporting
regular
working
folks,
thanks
Arturo.
H
H
Are
you
ready
for
this
to
put
out
of
channels
or
whoever
to
come
in
and
to
create
a
hotel
chain,
I'm
eschewed,
another
hotel
chain,
which
they
already
have
a
change
on,
because
they
have
independent,
dens
and
all
those
other
places?
But
why
should
we
invest
in
that
project
expending
gloves
and
millions
of
dollars
in
a
project
that's
likely
from
their
own
words
to
possibly
fail?
Are
you
ready
for
this
and
in
a
tacky,
comic
district?
H
You
know
I'm
told
that
money's
in
the
Texas
Commission
district
is
designed
for
blighted
areas
now
there
are
we
saying
that
this
is
a
blighted
area
in
which
this
hotel
needs
to
be
filled.
No
we're
not
are
we
because,
if
that's
the
case
in
the
whole
Oklahoma
City
downtown,
Oklahoma
City
isn't
a
blighted
area
all
right
now,
according
to
this
gentleman,
who
spoke
very
eloquently,
I'm
kind
of
jealous
too,
because
maybe
kind
of
taught
me,
but
anyhow,
you
speaking
about
150
million
dollars
to
be
invested
into
this
project.
H
Now,
why
would
you
need
first
of
all,
my
85,000
up
to
85
million
dollars
of
my
hard
earned
tax
payers
dollars
when
we
have
other
areas,
it's
already
been
proven?
Are
you
ready
for
this?
You
have
million
in
many
many
hotels,
downtown
already
who
are
likely
to
be
put
out
of
business.
Why?
Because
now
more
people
going
to
be
drawn
to
you
here
that
may
have
been
gone
to
these
others.
So
are
we
really
looking
deeply
into
those
areas?
I,
don't
think
we
are
okay.
H
Now,
not
only
that,
but
you
have
a
lady
here,
this
Catholic
honor
who's,
basically
at
all
the
the
development,
all
the
skills
and
all
the
room
and
support
to
get
this
thing
passed.
Why?
Because
she
has,
she
wears
many
hats
in
the
very
economic
development
plans
here
in
Oklahoma.
City,
are
you
ready
for
this,
a
former
ex
assistant
city
manager
now
who
turn
is
executive
director
of
urban,
literally
with
a
urban
development?
This
is
also
a
board
member
of
the
Economic
Development
Trust.
H
Ok
wearing
these
hats
would
suppose
be
available
to
others
who
might
possibly
want
that.
You
just
I,
don't
think
that
this
is
a
project
that
we
should
support.
Now
we're
told
that
the
Omni
Hotel
is
supposed
to
bring
in
458
jobs.
Ok
in
the
minute,
the
gentleman
just
admitted
that
it's
going
to
be
not
a
lot
of
high-paying
jobs,
so
intended
of
itself
tells
me
again.
We
had
a
risk
factor
in
the
economy
and
again
he's
already
stated
the
gentleman
to
my
right
that
this
is
likely
a
small
growing
population.
H
H
Get
up
your
ability
to
talk
loan
in
this
is
not
give
me
enough
time.
Okay,
now,
according
to
Kathy
O'connor
to
mr.
O'connell
I
said
kept
up,
we've
had
pretty
good
relationships
as
I
call
it
it,
but
anyhow
now
this
is
going
to
be
a
four
to
five
year
project.
Okay,
now
irregardless
of
whether
it
fails
or
not.
Are
you
ready
for
this?
We
are
supposed
to
say
and
agree.
H
I
don't
agree
that
it's
going
to
be
a
two
hundred
and
thirty
five
million
dollar
project
I
believe
there's
going
to
be
some
problems,
therefore,
because
why
now
we
know
if
you
ask
for
us
to
pay
more
than
half
of
the
amount
of
150
million
they're
going
to
put
up
then
naturally,
nine
times
out
of
ten,
it's
going
to
probably
a
little
bit
more
than.
Why
should
we
have
to
pay
more
than
75
over
other
half
75
million
rather
than
after?
B
M
Right,
you
know,
I
didn't
really
want
to
talk,
but
because
this
is
a
big
I'm,
a
tough
decision
for
me
just
because
I'm
not
an
ends
justify
the
means,
a
sort
of
guy,
and
so
just
this
whole
idea
conflicts
with
two
philosophical
things,
at
least
in
this,
and
really
nothing's
really
changed
since
the
last
time
we
talked
about
this
when
we
authorize
the
for
me,
I
still
think
that
we're
confusing
our
needs
and
our
wants
and
and
that
I
don't
like
government
infusing
themselves
in
to
the
private
market.
M
M
We
were
going
to
get
and
I
agree
that
the
plan
for
this
hotel
that
is
going
to
happen
does
need
a
subsidy
I
just
still
question
the
fact
of
whether
or
not
that
is
the
hotel
that
we
actually
need
and
because
I
just
I
truly
believe
that
the
that
the
free
market
fills
needs
and
so,
and
that's
probably,
why
I'm
going
to
vote
against
it
because
I'm
just
not
an
ends,
justify
the
means,
because
I
I
do
think.
In
the
end,
this
is
going
to
be
a
good
it's
going
to
benefit
the
city.
O
So
we
we've
heard
about
an
hour
and
a
half
uninterrupted
proposal
or
proponent
of
this
hotel
advocate
for
what,
in
my
mind,
was
decided
many
years
ago,
it's
decided
now
I'll
try
and
make
whatever
points.
I
can,
if
you
listen
to
the
presentation,
it'd
be
crazy,
not
to
do
a
hotel
with
a
Convention
Center.
Of
course,
that's
what
the
conventions
or
some
leisure
study
told
us
in
2009,
but
we
didn't
bring
it
up
at
the
time
of
the
maps
three
campaign
I
believe
because
we
didn't
want
to
chance
the
people
voting
on
it.
O
We've
heard
arguments
here
about
an
eighty
five
million
dollar
subsidy,
and
let
me
just
address
that.
First,
it's
not
an
eighty
five
million
dollar
subsidy.
It's
if
you
were,
if
you
were
able
to
borrow
that
eighty
five
million
dollars
at
four
percent
interest,
you're
talking
about
one
hundred
and
thirty
five
million
dollars.
When
you
include
the
interest
payments
in
the
parking
garage,
you
have
to
acquire
the
land,
you
have
to
come
up
with
a
ten
million
dollar
shortfall.
O
The
cop
that
doesn't
have
you
have
to
I
believe
this
is
the
only
time
you've
had
a
restrictive
covenant
from
Omni.
You
don't
know
what
adaptive
reuse
projects
that
is
going
to
inhibit
like
the
Spaghetti
Warehouse,
trying
to
turn
it
into
a
hotel.
There
are
lots
of
thing
costs,
so
the
number
is
not
eighty
five
million
dollars,
but
my
overarching
I
have
specific
issues
that
the
overarching
issue
is.
If
this
is
so
compelling
if
the
data
is
so,
the
empirical
data
is
so
overwhelming.
Your
your
study
on
the
economic
impact
take
it
to
the
people.
O
Let
the
people
vote
on
it
that
mr.
Rawling
is
my
primary
objection
and
I
want
you
to
understand.
I
mean
we
can
talk
about
whatever
adjectives,
I
use
or
permanent,
but
that
is
the
primary
problem
I
have
with
this
is
that
we
are
going
so
far
out
of
our
way
to
avoid
transparency
and
to
let
the
people
decide
whether
they
want
to
make
the
investment.
It
was
only
four
weeks
ago,
four
weeks
ago
that
we
debated
a
sales
tax
initiative
to
put
on
the
ballot
six
weeks
from
now
on,
September
12.
Mr.
O
Rawling
is
going
saying,
he's
going
to
pay
150
million
dollars
in
cash
right.
Well,
we're
going
to
borrow
the
85
million
dollars
when
we
do
any
other
bond
right,
general
obligation,
bonds,
we're
going
to
have
like
14
different
things
that
people
are
going
to
vote
on
on
September
12.
We
take
that
to
the
people
to
borrow
the
kind
of
money
we
could
have
done.
The
same
thing
he's
doing
right.
We
put
together
a
240
million
dollar
sales
tax
package
for
streets
next
month.
We
could
have
put
this
85
million
dollars
on
that
initiative.
O
Let
the
people
vote
on
it
in
six
weeks
and
we
could
have
paid
for
it
in
cash.
We
could
have
paid
eighty
five
million
dollars
instead
of
a
hundred
and
thirty
five
million
dollars,
but
we
didn't-
and
is
anyone
brave
enough
to
say
any
reason
why
we
didn't
do
that
other
than
this?
We
don't
want
the
people
to
vote
on
this.
O
We
don't
want
to
be
responsive
to
the
wishes
of
the
people,
put
it
on
the
ballot
for
the
people
and
run
a
campaign,
but
you
can
run
the
chamber
could
run
a
three
million
dollar
campaign.
You
could
you
could
use
all
this
empirical
data,
all
these
arguments
flood
the
people
with
all
these
arguments
and
then
let
them
vote
on
whether
they
want
to
spend
135
million
dollars
or
and
if
they
did
it
on
a
sales
tax,
and
you
get
the
money
up
front,
let
them
let
them
vote
on
it,
because
that's
that's
the
whole
right.
O
That's
the
whole
power
of
maps
is,
we
said,
we're
not
going
to
borrow
money,
we're
going
to
pay
for
these
things
as
we
go,
we're
not
going
to
pay
interest,
but
at
the
time
we
knew
that
this
that
this
day
would
come.
We
knew
that
the
hotel
was
an
integral
part
of
this
people
in
the
finance
department
said
you
should
put
money
in
this
on
the
maps
three,
because
this
day
is
going
to
come
and
a
subsidy
is
going
to
be
needed,
but
we
didn't.
O
We
withheld
this
part
of
the
story
from
the
people,
because
we
were
afraid
of
how
they
might
vote,
and
that
to
me
is
the
is
the
greatest
shortfall
of
this
whole
project
is
that
we
have
gone
out
of
our
way
to
not
allow
the
people
to
have
a
say
in
this.
So
maybe
parasitic
is
not
the
right
word
because
I
agree,
you
could
do
it
without
us.
If
you
can
pay
150
million
in
cash
with
the
assets
you
have,
you
can
borrow
85
million
at
very
favorable
terms.
You
can
do
this
without
it.
O
Maybe
there's
another
word
where
you
take
money
from
people
without
asking.
First,
maybe
that's
more
important,
appropriate,
predatory,
I
think
absolutely
applies.
We
have
heard
these
numbers.
We
have
heard
these
studies
over
the
years.
If
I
hear
you
the
HVS
study
correctly,
you
would
have
us
believe
that
the
economic
impact
is
basically
dependent
on
us
missing
out
on
conventions
based
on
two
variables
that
the
spate
that
the
exhibit
space
wasn't
available,
maybe
the
dates
and
also
the
Bloch
room,
and
because
we're
missing
out
on
those
two
variables.
O
Those
two
variables
are
going
to
result
in
all
these
conventions
coming
here
and
all
this
economic
impact
to
the
city.
Well,
the
convention,
sports
and
leisure
study
looked
at
several
variables
that
are
inhibiting
convention
performance
in
Oklahoma
City.
Five
in
particular,
that
you
didn't
mention
at
all
today,
number
one
was
the
lack
of
airport
access,
the
lack
of
direct
flights
into
Oklahoma
City.
That
has
not
changed
considerably
since
2009
number
two
was
whether
that
certainly
has
not
changed
and
will
not
change.
O
There
will
be
a
streetcar
that
will
take
people
to
certain
destinations,
but
if
they
want
to
go
to
Penn,
Square,
Mall
or
any
of
the
other
amenities
in
Oklahoma
City,
that
factor
has
not
changed
and
it
is
going
to
inhibit
some
of
the
numbers
that
you're
claiming
is
going
to
come
to
the
city
of
Oklahoma
City
from
this
investment
number
four
was
that
the
study
was
very
clear.
You
don't
have
the
CVB
budget
to
go
out
and
be
competing
for
these
type
of
conventions,
number
five
and
maybe
most
important
city.
This
is
not.
O
This
is
a
bloodbath
everybody's
doing
what
we're
doing
everybody
is
making
these
kind
of
investments,
but
the
number
mr.
Rawling
talked
about
transient
and
group
rates
right.
There's
two:
two
basic
categories
of
people
to
stay
in
hotel.
One
is
transient
you,
don't
you
stay
in
a
hotel
to
watch
a
Thunder
game
or
whatever
you're
traveling
to
Oklahoma,
City
or
whatever.
The
other
is
group
blocks
of
group
rates.
Over
the
last
since
2006
to
2016
transient
rooms
have
gone
up.
O
Group
rates
have
been
completely
flat
over
the
last
10
years
right,
so
that
is
not
growing,
but
all
these
Convention
Center
Hotel
are
sprouting
up
all
over
the
place
and
all
these
convention
centers
are
growing,
so
everybody's
competing
for
the
same
convention.
So
what
does
it
take
to
get
a
convention
to
a
city?
It's
not
just
bloc
rooms.
It's
not
just
exhibit
space
is
that
you
have
to
give
away
the
exhibit
space
you
have
to
give
it
for
free
to
the
conventions.
O
So
cities
like
Dallas
and
five
to
six
million
dollars
a
year
in
free
rent
on
their
exhibit
space,
Chicago
15
million
dollars
in
free
rent,
San
Diego,
6
million
Los
Angeles
12
million.
Are
we
ready
to
spend
those
kind
of
millions
of
dollars
in
free,
exhibit
space
to
try
and
get
the
conventions
that
he's
claiming
that
we're
going
to
get?
Because
it's
not
just
about
a
public
subsidy
for
a
hotel?
It's
about!
Are
you
willing
to
play
the
incentive
game
to
pay
these
conventions?
O
O
O
Because
what
we're
voting
on
today
says
that
the
pro
forma
provided
by
the
qualified
developers,
based
on
that
the
council,
finds
that
it's
necessary
in
the
best
interest
of
the
part.
Well
I
haven't
reviewed
that
pro
forma
I
haven't
seen
it.
It
hasn't
been
provided
to
me,
or
the
public
and
I'd
like
to
see
how
that
compares
to
the
stone
study
and
all
the
other
studies,
because
one
theory
I
have
is
that
on
me?
Isn't
necessarily
they
don't
necessarily
believe
that
convention
thesis
is
going
to
get
them
across
the
Tran.
O
The
finish
line
I
think
they
want
to
compete
in
the
transient
market
against
our
existing
hotel
stock
and
I.
Think
that
that's
part
of
the
reason
that
we
get
this
unique
present
that
other
cities
are
not
getting,
which
is
the
restrictive
covenant.
So
I
would
like
to
see
that
pro
forma
I
mean
when
we
go
to
Wall
Street
and
we
have
our
revenue
bond
statement.
The
proform
is
going
to
be
in
there.
O
O
190
I
mean
in
the
public
hears
about
the
details
on
Friday
in
the
Oklahoman
right,
so
they
get
three
four
days
to
process
all
this
right
and
then
we
have
the
one
and
a
half
hour
presentation,
and
then
you
have
my
five
minutes
of
opposition
and
that's
it.
But
nobody
gets
to
look
over
all
this,
including
us.
We
had
a
presentation
two
weeks
ago.
You
you
gave
us
sheets,
we
have
to
give
them
back
to
you
at
the
end
of
the
meeting.
O
There's
no
pro
forma,
there's
no
getting
to
look
at
these
studies
ahead
of
time.
It's
just
all
put
out
here
and
then
them
and
then
we're
supposed
to
do
it
run
a
campaign.
The
benefit
of
a
campaign
is
the
public
is
to
look
at
all
this
stuff.
But
let
the
people
vote
on
this
right
and
then
you
can
have
very
detailed
analysis
over
time,
not
just
a
four
day
processing
period
for
the
public
and
then
a
dog
and
pony
show
here,
let's
run
a
real
campaign.
O
If
you
win,
the
benefit
is
fifty
million
dollars
in
interest
costs.
You
don't
have
to
pay
that
that's
the
real
tragedy
of
this
whole
decade.
Long
saga
is
that
you
did
a
convention,
sports
and
leisure
study
that,
to
this
day,
is
still
being
withheld
from
the
public.
We
have
gone
out
of
our
way
to
minimize
transparency
and
to
shield
the
public
from
having
a
say
in
the
matter.
After
all,
it
is
their
money
they
deserve
to
have
a
say
thanks,
Larry.
Q
Thank
you,
your
honor
I'm,
going
to
be
very
brief.
I
have
some
personal
convictions.
The
people
that
are
on
the
team
know
my
personal
convictions.
The
key
word
there
is
personal.
They
apply
to
me
and
I,
don't
think
I
should
force
them
down.
Somebody
else
throw
a
couple
of
convictions
that
I
have
I
believe
it's
best
to
do
things
with
no
dick,
that's
best.
That
does
not
mean
you
never
used
it.
So
I
want
that
very
clear.
Q
The
next
conviction
that
I
have
is
that
I
believe
in
little
government
intervention.
Small
government
I
believe,
is
better.
However,
when
you
take
that,
for
example,
to
do
we
need
to
add
policemen
to
our
police
force.
There's
Public
Safety.
The
answer
is
obviously
yes,
so
those
two
are
in
have
to
be
balanced
out.
I
think
that
applies
here
in
looking
at
this.
This
happens
to
be
I,
believe
a
good
business
deal,
and
so
as
a
good
business
to
you,
I'm
going
to
vote
for
it
do
I
wish
there
were
some
differences.
Q
Q
F
R
Councilman
I
I
kid
I
I
just
wanted
to
reiterate
a
couple
of
things
know
my
pastor
came
in
this
morning
and
offered
the
prayer.
The
first
thing
he
talked
to
me
about
this
morning
when
I
met
him
over
at
the
mayor's
office.
Was
that
he's
on
he's
part
of
the
delegation
that
decides
where
the
sp
see
convention
is
going
to
be
Southern,
Baptist
Convention
and
he's
always
wanted
to
bring
it
to
Oklahoma
City?
They
can't
do
it
can't
do
it.
We
don't
have
the
resources,
but
he
talked
about
you
know.
R
If
this
thing
goes
through
is
like,
then
I
can't
wait,
trying
and
bring
them
here.
They
all
want
to
come
here.
Everyone
talks
about,
you
know
resurgence
of
Oklahoma
City
and
they
love
it.
They
just
don't
have
the
resources
here
that
they
need
for
constituents.
Pacifically
like
that.
The
other
thing
I
would
have
is
I
would
love
to
know
what
the
economic
impact
was
this
past
weekend,
I
mean
downtown,
of
course,
was
flooded
and
if
you
throw
last
night
in
there
to
that
impact
was
huge
without
the
Chesapeake
I.
R
Looking
at
how
the
traffic
was
done
here
for
the
Garth
Brooks
concert
so
yeah
this
I've
gotta
admit
this
proposal
goes
against
a
lot
of
different
things
for
me
personally
to
Larry,
but
when
I
look
at
the
benefit
for
the
city,
long
term
and
yeah,
there's
things
in
here,
I
wish
we
would
have
done
differently,
but
I
I
think
it's
worth
the
risk.
I
think
the
risk
has
been
minimized,
and
so
the
sake
of
the
city
I'm,
going
to
support
it.
K
K
We
define
the
term
blighted
and,
as
he
related
to
downtown,
Oklahoma,
City
being
blighted,
so
everybody
knows
I
work
Saturdays
and
this
Saturday
Saturday
I
was
coming
in
late
because
we
were
watching
our
grandchildren
and
so
about
10:30
I'm
driving
through
our
office
and
I,
see
this
a
couple
walking
back
from
the
core
part
of
downtown
back
to
21c,
Hotel
and
so
I'm
stopped
and
they
looked
at
me.
I
guess,
I
thought
I
was
an
accountant
or
something
and
said:
hey.
K
E
K
K
I
mean
we've
got
restaurants,
I
understand
that
in
entertainment
facilities
and
if
you
go
far
enough
away
from
the
core
part
of
downtown
on
the
weekends,
you
can
probably
find
a
retail
store,
but
when
I
go
out
of
town,
especially
if
we
get
half
a
day
off
or
something
to
just
walk
around
and
find
something
that
you
could
buy
as
a
souvenir
or
something
to
take
back
to
the
family
is
a
common
experience.
For
me,
we
have
nothing
I
anticipate
once
the
Convention
Center
is
completed.
This
hotel
is
built
we'll
see
an
explosion
of
growth.
K
We
truly
do
lack
a
strong
retail
presence
in
downtown
Oklahoma,
City
and
I'm.
Sorry
I,
just
don't
consider
what's
going
on
in
Bricktown,
is
a
strong
retail
center
and
I
know
up
on
North
Broadway
Meg
you've
got
some
things
going
on
up
there,
but
really,
if
you
think
in
terms
of
the
core
part
of
downtown,
so
I
felt
embarrassed
to
those
that
over
couple
looking
for
something
down
here,
we
do
not
have
it
so.
Mr.
K
H
Y
K
Craig
this
is
the
question.
I
was
going
to
ask
you
if
you've
got
just
a
second
and
I'm
not
going
to
ask
you
to
explain
present
value
concepts,
but
the
numbers
you
were
presenting
were
the
present
values
of
future
revenues.
That's
correct.
If
we
didn't
use
the
present
value
figure,
those
numbers
would
be
much
greater.
Yes
tremendously,
large.
K
I
understand
yes,
okay,
so
the
point
I'm
just
trying
to
make,
though,
is
as
we
talk
about
the
interest.
Certainly
if
we
wanted
to
project
several
years
from
now,
we
had
a
specific
project.
The
match
program
is
an
ideal
way
to
raise
money
and
not
incur
interest
expense,
but
the
numbers
we're
looking
at
would
be
much
greater
if
we
use
their
future
values
as
opposed
to
their
present
values.
K
So
the
present
value
concept
takes
out
the
interest
component
and
matches
future
dollars
with
current
dollars,
so
that
revenue
source
that
you're,
reflecting
is
a
much
larger
amount
tremendously
larger,
so
I
think
we're
confusing
people
when
we
say
oh,
but
we've
got
all
this
interest.
No,
we
don't
what
the
analysis
we're
trying
to
present
takes
the
interest
component
out
of
there.
K
If
we
wanted
to
bring
in
the
interest,
we
could
growth
up
those
future
revenues,
and
we
would
still
see
that
I
anticipate
we'll
have
much
more
revenue
from
this
activity
than
what
it
will
cost
us.
But
here's
the
other
question
with
respect
to
these
bonds.
Will
we
have
the
ability
to
redeem
them
early?
Should
revenue
exceed?
No,
so
that
would
eliminate
the
interest
component
and
it
would
reduce
the
present
value
cost
to
those
numbers.
Some.
Z
Of
the
scenarios
we've
looked
at
generally,
when
we
do
bonds,
we'll
have
a
call
call
feature
on
those
bonds
either
be
callable.
Generally,
it's
around
ten
years
pay
quite
a
bit
to
get
it
lower
than
that,
but
you're
exactly
right
with
those
revenues
that
we
expect
to
come
in.
That
is
a
potential
in
the
future.
If
everything's
on
that
higher
level
of
success,
that
we
have
that
potential
that
we
could
at
least
pay
down
large
portion,
but
even
potentially
several
years
in
pay
off
the
full
amount.
Yeah.
K
So
I
really
think
we
need
to
focus
on.
The
fact
are
part
of
this
that
we're
agreeing
to
is
36%
of
the
total
costs
of
the
hotel,
and
so
that's
what
I
think
we
need
to
focus
on
just
a
couple
of
more
points.
So,
as
Cathy
I
think
made
the
presentation,
the
maps
one
program
that
began
in
the
early
90s,
we
raised
350
some
million
dollars
for
these
various
projects.
K
A
part
of
the
first
maps
program
an
earlier
study
by
OSU
at
the
time
it
this
is
a
pretty
old
one,
was
suggesting
that
it
created
private
investments
of
over
three
billion
dollars.
Now
cathy
has
or
current
numbers,
and
then
her
figures
was
five
billion.
I
think
this
has
the
same
potential
and
I
think
it's
going
to
occur
rather
quickly,
especially
once
we
hit
the
convention
center.
The
Cordish
or
Park.
K
This
hotel
in
place
will
see
tremendous
growth
on
the
west
side
of
the
park
and
I
would
suspect
the
total
private
investment
will
greatly
exceed
the
multiple
that
we've
seen
with
the
first
maps.
Now,
let's
compare
that
with
the
multiple
effects
we
had
on
maps
for
kids,
much
harder
to
evaluate
we
spend
470
million.
Can
we
identify
private
investment
that
came
about
as
a
result
of
that
money?
No,
we
can't
now
was
it
important
to
make
that
type
of
investment.
K
Absolutely
I
think
it
was
critical
to
get
the
public
education
system
on
a
stronger
position
from
a
facility
standpoint,
but
it
did
not
create
the
same
economic
impact.
That's
something
like
this
will
again
compare
our
downtown
area.
This
blighted
area
with
those
areas
for
Omni
currently
has
a
Convention
Center
Hotel.
It
is
night
and
day
as
far
as
what
we
see
and
it's
just
going
to
spur
additional
revenue
for
the
community
and
certainly
for
the
city
in
additional
sales,
tax
and
I'm.
Sorry,
I
didn't
have
my
notes.
Better
outlined
and
I
appreciate
a
sartorial
comments.
K
We
certainly
want
to
employ
local
individuals
in
the
construction
of
this
hotel
and
that's
going
to
generate
a
lot
of
economic
activity.
You
know
we
can
buy
an
Oklahoma,
City
and
Tulsa
that
generates
over
two-thirds
of
the
economic
and
activity
of
the
entire
state.
Oklahoma
City
is
almost
twice
the
size
of
Tulsa
in
terms
of
its
economic
impact.
This
is
just
going
to
continue
to
accelerate
that
and
we'll
certainly
receive
the
benefit
and
finally
I'm
not
trying
to
match
point
for
point,
but
the
issue
about
not
taking
this
to
the
public
for
a
vote.
K
The
sales
tax
vote.
That's
coming
up
our
previous
and
proposed
Maps
programs,
those
programs
all
created
a
tax
on
the
public
on
the
citizens
and
local,
my
city,
that's
why
we
had
to
go
out
and
vote.
This
does
not
it's
a
complex
issue.
We
went
through
an
hour
and
a
half
and
I
know
some
people
did
not
take
proper
notes
up
here.
If,
on
that
presentation,
just
imagine
trying
to
make
the
same
type
of
tech,
people
technical
presentation
to
the
general
public,
it
would
be
challenging
at
best
I
enjoy
it.
K
E
Am
so
glad
David
went
before
me,
it
really
covered
a
lot
of
the
issues.
I
want
to
say,
I.
Think
it's
obvious
from
the
comments
I've
made
in
previous
meetings
and
in
lots
of
other
private
conversations
that
I
am
incredibly
supportive
of
this
project.
It
is
exactly
what
the
city
needs.
It's
exactly
the
kind
of
thing
that
we've
seen
happen
before
and
has
put
this
city
on.
E
It's
incredible
trajectory
of
this
Renaissance
that
we're
living
in
so
I
think
what
I'd
really
like
to
say
is
sitting
through
this
hour-and-a-half
presentation
has
made
me
so
proud
of
the
team
that
we
have
working
for
us
city,
employees
and
our
consultants
are
absolutely
outstanding
and
they're
all
sitting
in
this
room.
It's
you
know
when
you
talk
about
the
creativity
it
took
to
put
this
together.
E
E
The
question
about
blighted
is
really
an
interesting
one,
but
if
you
stand
in
the
middle
of
the
park
or
at
the
site
where
the
hotel
is
to
be
built
and
look
around,
there
is
nobody
that
can
tell
me
that
that
is
not
blighted.
There
is
nothing
there,
there's
a
promise
that
there's
going
to
be
a
Convention
Center
and
there's
a
promise,
there's
going
to
be
a
park
in
there
moving
incredible
amounts
of
dirt
right
now.
There
will
be
all
of
those
things,
but
right
now,
there's
not
and
it's
a
leap
of
faith
to
invest.
E
150
million
dollars
of
your
own
money
on
a
piece
of
dirt.
Right
now
is
a
electric
substation
I
mean
it
just
as
a
real
estate
developer.
It's
a
huge
jump
to
see
this
and
I.
Don't
think
I
want
to
address
all
the
other
issues.
There's
lots
of
actually
adjectives
that
have
been
used
today
and
one
of
the
ones
that
I
have
found
disappointing
over
many
many
years.
Is
this
conversation
about
health
information
that
we've
received,
saying
that
somebody's
withheld
information
is
a
canvas
thing
that
they've
been
lying
and
I
sign?
E
T
Thank
you.
Brother
Washington
is
one
of
the
first
meetings
that
I
had
when
I
first
got
elected,
Oz
was
with
Mike
carrier
and
also
with
wor
Williams
and
I
had
some
concerns
with
Oklahoma
City,
not
attracting
diverse
conventions
to
Oklahoma
City
having
a
convention
center
hotel
will
open
up
that
door
for
us
to
get
more
diversity.
T
As
we
talk
about
convention
centers,
because
as
we
talk
about
conventions,
you
mentioned
councilman
stone
that
you
would
love
to
have
the
Southern
Baptists
here
next
year,
we'll
be
able
to
host
the
National
Baptist
Convention
of
USA
here,
which
the
last
time
they
came,
that
was
in
1991
having
a
convention
center
hotel
opens
up
other
national
conventions
to
come
to
Oklahoma,
City
so
and
I'm
excited
I.
I
can
tell
you
I,
don't
like
that.
It
houses
on
consoles
roughly
85
million
dollars.
T
What
I
am
excited
about
the
opportunities
that
this
will
bring
to
Oklahoma
City
I
do
want
to
thank
Army
for
your
commitment
of
60,000,
sixty
percent
local
sub
contractors
and
I
hope
that
you
all
will
keep
that
promise.
Even
though
it's
not
in
any
of
the
documents.
I
really
hope
that
you
all
will
keep
that
promise.
As
a
city,
we
always
talk
about
unemployment
rate
averaging
around
three
point
three
to
four
point:
five
percent.
T
But
when
you
look
at
certain
populations
in
Oklahoma
City's
for
certain
communities
in
Oklahoma
City,
the
unemployment
rate
is
their
averages,
15
percent
or
higher.
So
this
will
allow
people
who
may
have
fallen
down
under
look
to
have
a
chance
to
succeed.
So
I
really
hope
that
you
all
were
truly
market
and
recruit
from
those
communities
that
are
struggling
for
its
employment
side
again.
T
I,
definitely
like
the
sixty
percent
local
hire
for
sub
contractors
in
the
simple
fact
that
averaging
maybe
450
to
500
jobs,
I
think
it's
a
good
thing,
but
again,
I
really
hope
that
you
all
will
actively
try
to
recruit
from
those
communities
that
are
struggling,
Thank
You.
Mr.
mayor
all
right
mark,
thank
your.
P
Honor,
you
know
it's
funny
how
history
has
a
way
of
repeating
itself
over
and
over
written
more.
A
friend
of
mine
gave
me
a
book
that
I'm
reading
right
now
it's
called
NORC
the
mayors
of
Oklahoma
City
right
now,
I'm
in
1960
and
Jim,
nor
it's
come
up
with
this
bold
initiative
and
we
always
talk
about
Ron
norick
being
a
visionary
Jim.
Nor
was
an
incredible
visionary
and
he's
proposing
this
initiative
and
the
daily
at
Oklahoma,
C
Times
writes.
This.
Must
rake
is
one
of
the
greatest
Gamble's
the
city
has
ever
taken.
P
Another
paper
writes
this
is
a
wasteful
financial
extravaganza,
it's
a
betrayal
of
public
confidence
and,
while
I
don't
believe
this
is
one
of
the
greatest
Gamble's
that
we've
ever
taken
I.
Think
it's
it's
an
important
point
in
time.
It's
a
defining
moment.
It's
whether
we
decide
to
continue
to
move
to
improve,
to
become
a
first-tier,
City
and
I.
P
I
didn't
know
whether
it's
like
walking
in
the
Skirvin
on
Saturday
or
Sunday
and
there's
you
know
a
few
people
at
brunch
and
people
milling
about
in
the
lobby.
There
were
3,000
people
there
for
a
seven-day
cost,
3,000
people
and
there
were
people
going
to
meetings
and
talking,
and
it
was
just
incredible:
it
was
electric
and
I
got
to
thinking.
You
know
if
3,000
people
strings
I've,
undergone
$600
or
$700
seven
days.
That's
a
lot
of
money
and
that's
what
this
is
about.
It's
about
economic
impact.
P
You
know
we
did
five-day
new
investments
with
math
one.
This
is
the
opportunity
to
build
on
that,
and
so
I
think
that
we
should.
We
should
embrace
this.
We
should
be
positive
about
it
and
I
can
by
saying
that
the
bold
initiative,
the
Jim
North
proposed
back
in
1960,
was
a
build
a
pipeline
to
a
reservoir.
T
H
B
D
If
I
could
explain
this
a
little
bit
when
we
did
the
hiring
of
new
police
officers
a
few
years
ago
and
hired
100
plus
100
150
officers,
we
were
in
the
process
of
hiring
before
the
recession.
There
was
money
in
the
police
department
budget,
but
the
police
chief
wasn't
able
to
hire
those
officers
quick
enough.
So
he
used
that
money
on
the
interim
for
overtime
pay
for
program
called
Viper,
the
Viper
came
in
and
high
areas
of
crime
over
time
brought
people
in
and
made
significant
impact
in
that
area.
D
D
It's
a
similar
amount
of
a
million
and
again
until
the
officers
are
brought
online.
This
would
allow
us
to
minimize
the
number
of
fire
apparatus
that
we
are
putting
on
a
service
for
budgetary
needs,
and
so
the
1.2
million
dollars
again
short-term,
using
that
money
until
officers
are
brought
online,
would
help
alleviate
that
issue.
All
right.
B
AD
The
copy
of
the
policies
that
you
have
in
front
of
you
are
the
result
of
the
recommendations
from
that
committees
process.
I'll
just
note
that
this
process
that
we've,
that
we've
just
completed
is
the
same
as
what
we've
done
in
for
our
prior
two
versions
of
our
personnel
policies
that
were
adopted
in
both
2005
and
2012.
AD
We've
also,
this
has
also
gone
through
an
internal
review
process
through
the
personnel
department
and
the
municipal
counselors
office.
So
the
recommendations
that
we've
presented
to
you
today
incorporate
a
lot
of
information
from
a
lot
of
people
and
we're
proposing
that
that
be
effective.
Today,
July
18
I'll
just
quickly
run
through
some
of
the
more
notable
changes.
There
is
some
clean
up
language
in
there.
AD
Other
policies,
ordinances,
charter
inside
those
policies,
so
it's
kind
of
a
one-stop
shop.
Everything
should
be
right
there
and
easily
accessible
for
those
policies
are
referenced
throughout
the
first
issue
that
I
want
to
make
sure
everyone
understands
is
kind
of
our
hierarchy
of
how
our
policies
apply.
So
these
apply
generally
to
all
city
employees,
departments
and
major
divisions
can
also
have
their
own
policies.
But
if
there's
a
conflict
in
those
policies
with
our
personnel
policies,
personnel
policies
prevail
where
our
personnel
policies
won't
prevail
is
if
there's
a
conflict
with
a
collective
bargaining
agreement.
AD
So
if
there's
a
conflict
on
an
issue
between
the
personnel
policies
and
one
of
our
three
collective
bargaining
agreements,
the
collective
bargaining
agreement
prevails.
So
I
want
to
make
that
very
clear
to
everybody,
and
the
first
issue
that
we've
amended
just
slightly
is
that
in
the
past,
we've
had
hiring
preferences
for
residents
of
the
city
of
Oklahoma
City
in
the
state
of
Oklahoma
we've
removed
that
we
still
have
have
a
hiring
preference
for
honorably
discharged
military
veterans,
and
we
have
a
hiring
preference
for
current
city
employees
when
all
other
things
are
substantially
equal.
AD
But
we
feel
like
removing
those
preferences,
will
enable
us
to
and
improve
our
efforts
in
recruiting
and
for
diversity,
and
that
kind
of
thing
we've
also
clarified
our
process
with
regard
to
conducting
our
criminal
background
checks
and
we've
incorporated
a
process
whereby
an
applicant
may
provide
information
to
negate
the
validity
and
relevance
of
a
particular
criminal
record
when
that
record
may
have
disqualified
them
for
a
position.
So
we
we've
not
had
that
built
into
our
process
in
the
past.
AD
It
is
now
built
into
our
process,
and
we
think
that
that
this
background
process
is
in
conformance
with
EEOC
guidelines.
So
it's
really
important
for
us
to
have
that.
We've
incorporated
our
policy
on
the
use
of
social
media
and
occasions
when
city
employees
may
speak
on
behalf
of
the
city.
We've
had
guidelines
issued
through
the
public
information
and
marketing
office
for
a
year,
or
so.
We've
now
incorporated
those
into
our
policy.
AD
Inside
our
smoking
policy,
we
we've
had
lots
of
questions
over
the
years
about
whether
or
not
bathing
and
e-cigarette
devices
apply
is
covered
by
that
our
smoking
prohibition.
We've
made
that
very
clear
now
that
they
do
so
where
we
prohibit
smoking
in
the
workplace.
That
includes
vaping
and
each
cigarette
devices.
AD
We've
revised
our
customer
service
incentive
program.
We've
had
that
in
place
since
the
early
90s
I
think
and
that
included
an
option
for
departments
to
recommend
a
stipend
on
certain
occasions
and
that's
been
discontinued
for
a
while.
So
we've
we
just
kind
of
brought
our
policy
up
to
date
with
the
way
it's
currently
administered
and
we've
etes
eased
some
of
the
administrative
burdens
on
city
staff
with
administering
that
policy,
including
there's,
there's
now
no
expiration
date.
F
B
Thank
you.
We
need
a
motion
then,
to
adopt
the
new
personnel
policies
opposed
it
passes
unanimously
and
now
we're
going
to
hear
from
Frank,
Barnes
and
and
talk
about
the
new
Emergency
Operations
plan,
which
we
do
annually.
AE
Good
morning,
I
have
about
50
slides
to
go
through
so
I
can't
know,
I
can't
get
down
to
five
and
I
struggle
to
come
up
with
five.
So
this
is
our
annual
adoption.
The
emergency
operations
plan
and
the
Oklahoma
Emergency
Management
Act
of
2003
requires
each
incorporated
jurisdiction
to
have
an
Emergency
Operations
plan.
The
Oklahoma
City
Municipal
Code,
requires
the
city,
have
an
Emergency
Operations
plan
that
is
developed
and
maintained
by
the
Office
of
Emergency
Management
and
adopted
by
the
City
Council.
AE
The
emergency
management
performance
grant
that
we
receive
requires
the
development
update
and
revision
of
the
local
jurisdictions
Emergency
Operations
plan,
there's
also
simply
just
a
best
practice
to
annually
update
and
revise
the
Emergency
Operations
plan,
using
a
collaborative
process
to
revise
and
update
the
EOP
and
to
achieve
that
collaborative
process.
We
follow
FEMA's
whole
community
concept,
which
is
achieved
through
the
city's
local
preparedness
and
planning
committee,
which
is
comprised
of
multidisciplinary
and
multi-agency
internal
and
external
stakeholders,
including
the
private
sector.
AE
So
a
real,
quick
overview
of
the
ILP
is
never
one.
It's
a
framework.
A
lot
of
people
think
is
a
step-by-step
procedural
document
and
it's
not
a
step-by-step
procedural
document.
Emergencies
and
disasters
are
dynamic
and
the
hazard
that
caused
that
event
does
not
read
nor
follow
the
plan.
The
disaster
response
and
recovery
relies
on
resourcefulness,
creativity
and
improvisation
number
two.
It
is
an
all
hazard
plan,
which
means
we
respond
to
the
result,
not
to
the
cause.
AE
Many
times
we
get
asked
about
having
specific
plans
for
specific
kinds
of
events,
and
we
point
out
that
we
have
an
All
Hazards
plan
and
the
example
I
use
is
a
structural
collapse.
If
the
building
falls
down
and
people
are
trapped
inside
that
building
the
response
to
that
structural
collapse
to
rescue
those
people
will
be
the
same.
AE
Regardless
of
why
that
building
fell
down,
the
EOP
places
an
emphasis
on
coordination
of
its
activities
or
coordination
of
activities
under
the
Emergency
Operations
plan
departments
and
our
external
partners
act
under
their
own
authorities
to
carry
out
their
activities.
They
don't
have
to
be
told
what
to
do.
They
know
what
they
need
to
do.
AE
Also,
under
the
the
plan,
the
internal
external
partners
are
assigned
roles
and
responsibilities,
and
we
made
sure
that
the
roles
and
responsibilities
that
we
assign
to
them
are
what
they
normally
do
day
to
day.
We
didn't
want
to
pass
them
with
something
they
don't
normally
do
or
that's
outside
their
capabilities.
So,
basically,
as
a
result
of
that
approach,
our
city
departments
and
our
external
partners
every
day
are
preparing
to
fill
their
emergency
roles
and
responsibilities
simply
by
performing
their
day-to-day
tasks
and
responsibilities.
The
EOP
is
active
at
all
times.
AE
It
does
not
have
to
be
activated,
you'll
read
in
some
literature
and
textbooks
and
other
documents
they
talk
about.
You
have
to
activate
your
EOP.
Our
EOP
is
active
all
the
time
so
that
there's
no
need
there's
no
delay
waiting
for
it
to
be
activated
and
there's
no
stovepiping.
And
lastly,
the
EOP
is
scalable
and
flexible.
It
can
apply
to
any
kind
or
any
size
of
incident
or
disaster.
AE
So
the
changes
for
2017
is
basically
one.
We
added
a
hazard,
vulnerability
analysis.
We
call
hva
annex
to
the
plan.
I'll
explain
a
little
bit
more
about
why
we
did
that
and
another
slide,
and
because
we
added
that
annex
that
we
then
had
to
go
into
the
basic
plan
and
we
had
to
change
the
section
that
was
titled,
summary
and
hazard.
Analysis
summary
to
hazard,
vulnerability,
analysis,
summary,
and
then
we
had
to
replace
an
update,
the
tables
that
appeared
in
that
section.
AE
So
the
the
hazard
vulnerability
analysis
annex
identifies
three
categories
of
hazards.
We
use
the
terminology
that
is
contained
in
current
US
Department
of
Homeland
security
and
Federal
Emergency
Management
Agency
documents.
So
we
have
natural
hazards
and,
as
you
can
see
on
the
slide,
you
know
that's
our
tornadoes,
flooding,
wildfire,
mosquito-borne
diseases
and
some
others.
We
have
adversarial
and
human
caused,
such
as
cyber
incidents,
active
threat,
terrorism
pandemic
influenza
and
then
the
category
known
as
technological
and
accidental
that
includes
structure,
fire
hazards,
material
release,
train
derailment,
dam
failure
and
airplane
crash
and
a
few
others.
AE
We
were
informed
by
the
state
and
by
FEMA
that
we
needed
to
remove
all
non
natural
hazards
from
the
plan,
so
that
required
that
we
remove
adversarial
human
cause,
technological
and
accidental
hazards
from
the
hazard
mitigation
plan,
so
that
the
hazard
mitigation
plan
only
addressed
natural
hazards
this,
and
this
is
why
we
then
had
to
create
this
hazard
vulnerability
annex
so
that
we
could
cover
those
other
hazards,
be
the
federal
regulations
require
only
natural
hazards
in
the
hazard
mitigation
plan.
That's
one
of
the
reasons
why
those
were
taken.
All
the
other
hazards
were
taken
out.
AE
We
also
learned
that
FEMA
does
not
look
at
non
natural
hazards
during
the
review
process
and,
lastly,
there's
no
federal
grant
funding
for
the
mitigation
of
adversarial
human
cost,
technological
and
accidental
hazards.
So
the
hazard
vulnerability
annex
provides
the
following
benefits.
One
is:
it
helps
us
maintain
our
all-hazards
approach
to
emergency
preparedness.
It
meets
the
needs
of
other
entities
over
the
years
were
contacted
by
these
other
entities
who
want
an
HB
a
they
can
use
it
in
their
emergency
preparedness
planning
efforts,
and
we
haven't
had
that.
AE
We've
always
referred
to
our
hazard
mitigation
plan,
and
then
there
was
the
issue
of
portability.
The
previous
hazard
mitigation
plan
was
about
30
mega.
The
current
2017
updated
one.
That's
currently
being
reviewed
by
FEMA,
is
about
nineteen
point
six
megabytes
because
of
the
maps
that
are
attached
to
it,
whereas
the
hazard
vulnerability
analysis,
an
X,
is
less
than
one
megabyte,
it's
actually
0.42,
which
makes
it
very
easy
to
transmit
that
electronically
to
any
of
the
external
partners
or
any
external
entities
that
may
need
hva
for
their
planning
purposes,
and
that
is
that
any
questions.
K
L
F
K
D
K
K
D
P
is
a
joint
resolution
with
the
Water
Utilities
trust
to
approve
a
water
conservation
plan
and
the
water
conservation
plan.
That's
before
you
today
is
nothing
new.
It's
just
been
in
a
number
of
pieces
within
the
water
department
when
we
did
the
Sardis
settlement.
Last
year
we
talked
about
doing
a
number
of
conservation
measures
that
we
already
had
in
place
and
as
we're
going
forward
with
out
to
be
best
to
consolidate
that
into
one
place
for
the
joint
resolution
between
the
city
and
the
water
utilities
request.
A
R
K
D
K
K
K
R
I
have
an
exciting
announcement
tonight:
August
5th
starting
August
5th,
the
marina
at
Draper
Lake
is
going
to
start
offering
a
it'll
start
out
with
a
small
menu
of
burgers
hot
dogs.
That
type
of
thing
originally
on
will
start
on
weekends,
but
a
great
place
I
was
out
there
visiting
them
the
other
day
and
just
a
great
place
to
stop.
Have
a
hamburger
or
hot
dogs
overlooking
what
I
think
is
the
prettiest
lake
in
Oklahoma
City,
so
I
just
wanted
to
bring
that
up.
Thank.
D
AF
AF
What's
great
about
Oklahoma
City
is
you're
committed
to
getting
input
from
your
residents
on
a
regular
basis,
as
many
communities
don't
do
that,
and
even
if
things
don't
change
a
lot,
sometimes
it's
good
to
know
what
has
or
hasn't
changed
and
have
an
information
can
be
really
useful.
If
you're
new
and
haven't
had
this
presentation
before
I
think
most
of
you
look
familiar
etc',
Institute
or
based
in
Kansas
City.
AF
We
have
offices
in
several
cities
across
the
United
States
and
overseas
we've
surveyed
over
2
million
people
in
the
United
States
in
the
last
10
years,
and
so
a
lot
of
times.
We
compare
how
communities
are
performing
based
on
our
national
databases,
so
I'll
make
some
references
to
that
as
we
go
through
the
presentation
today,
there's
also
a
full
set
of
comparisons
in
the
report
for
you
to
take
a
look
at
just
an
example
of
some
of
the
communities
that
are
in
our
database
for
our
head-to-head
comparisons.
They're
listed
here
we
actually
are.
AF
National
averages
are
based
on
national
surveys
that
we
do.
Head-To-Head
comparisons
are
based
on
individual
communities.
We
actually
survey
21
of
the
thirty-five
largest
cities
in
the
United
States
for
today,
I'm
just
going
to
walk
you
through
briefly.
What
we
did
I
know
you're
familiar
at
least
most
of
you
are
familiar
with
the
survey
I,
give
you
the
conclusions
that
we've
reached
and
then
just
going
to
walk
you
through
how
we
got
there.
AF
So
the
purpose
of
the
survey
is
really
to
give
you
an
objective
assessment
of
what
residents
think
related
to
the
quality
of
city
services
and
their
priorities.
As
you
know,
most
people
are
busy
with
their
lives
and
don't
have
time
to
come
to
council
meetings
or
public
meetings,
so
they
simply
go
through
their
lives,
expecting
services,
but
oftentimes
you
never
hear
from
them.
So
this
type
of
tool
helps
you
balance
what
you
hear
at
public
meetings
with
what
the
average
resident
really
thinks.
So
that
way,
you
can
incorporate
that
as
part
of
your
decision-making
process.
AF
It
also
helps
you
get
input
for
priorities
and
also
measure
how
things
have
trended
over
time.
This
year
survey
was
done.
Very
similarly
to
the
surveys
we've
done
in
previous
years,
the
one
difference
that
we
did
do
to
make
it
more
useful
for
each
of
the
council
members
as
this
year,
the
sample
was
stratified
by
Ward,
so
we
made
sure
we
got
at
least
a
hundred
and
fifty
respondents
per
ward
in
the
past.
Sometimes
we've
had
more
responses
from
one
word
to
the
under
than
another.
This
year,
it's
pretty
uniform.
AF
So
that
way,
if
you're
interested,
you
do
actually
see
the
results
for
the
particular
group
of
people
you're,
serving
as
far
as
the
major
findings
this
year,
the
real
big
finding
that
I
should
have
been
spitting
bright
red
letters
is
not
a
lot
changed
in
some
ways.
That's
really
good,
because
this
was
a
very
turbulent
year
with
the
national
elections
and
a
lot
of
changes
at
the
national
level.
Many
communities
saw
significant
decreases
this
past
year.
You
actually
stayed
about
the
same.
AF
Your
overall
perceptions
of
customer
service
and
your
overall
satisfaction
of
the
city
are
among
the
best
in
the
nation.
You
do
a
fairly
equitable
job
of
meeting
the
expectations,
regardless
of
where
residents
live.
But
frankly,
your
street
issue,
as
you'll
see,
continues
to
be
a
major
concern
and
hasn't
made
hasn't
changed
much
since
I
was
here
a
year
ago.
As
far
as
the
reasons
I
make,
these
conclusions
is
first
off
is
just
the
way
people
rate
a
number
of
the
things
like
a
city
is
a
place
to
live,
work
raise
children.
AF
We
asked
residents
to
rate
a
number
of
things
on
a
five-point
scale.
Fours
and
fives
tend
to
be
good,
very
good.
Excellent,
satisfied
and
negatives
are
poor,
the
ones
and
twos
and
their
shaded
in
red,
and
you
can
see
on
this
chart
that
most
of
the
areas
that
were
assessed
rate
very
well.
One
of
my
key
indicators
on
here's
is
a
city.
That's
moving
in
the
right
direction,
because
you
typically
only
hear
from
the
13
percent
of
the
people
who
don't
like
what
you're
doing
or
think
you're
moving
in
the
wrong
direction.
AF
You'll
notice
that
77
percent
of
people
actually
feel
favorable
so
for
every
person,
that's
negative.
There's
about
six
people
out
there
that
actually
think
the
city
is
moving
right
direction
and
that's
a
good
place
to
be.
In
addition,
we
look
at
things
they're,
just
the
overall
quality
of
life
image,
appearance
of
the
city,
but
this
is
one
where
you'll
see
the
overall
quality
of
services
provided
by
the
city.
Only
eleven
percent
or
one
in
nine
people
are
dissatisfied.
You
probably
again
hear
from
them
fifty-seven
percent
or
nearly
six
times
that
actually
get
positive
rating.
AF
So
all
in
all,
the
city
is
doing
a
good
job.
I'm,
going
to
show
you
the
trends
in
just
a
few
more
slides,
but
when
it
comes
to
major
categories
of
city
services,
you'll
notice
that
the
three
lowest
rated
ones
all
have
to
do
with
transportation,
traffic
flow,
public
transit
and,
of
course,
condition
of
streets
which
only
nine
percent
of
people.
I
gave
positive
ratings.
You
can
see
in
your
public
safety
services,
your
tilt
utilities
and
Parks
you're
doing
pretty
well,
but
it's
the
transportation
related
ones
that
you've
struggled
now
for
several
years.
AF
When
you
see
how
you
stack
up
to
other
communities.
This
is
one
of
the
great
things
about
coming
to
Oklahoma,
City
and
I.
Think
one
of
the
benefits
that
you
receive
from
really
listening
to
your
residents
year
after
year
after
year,
is
that
you
do
a
good
job.
I
mean
at
the
end
of
the
day.
The
city
is
a
place
to
live,
is
a
place
to
work
as
a
place
to
raise
children
as
a
place
to
retire.
How
well
you're
planning
for
growth
and
the
overall
quality
of
city
services
sets
the
standard.
AF
You've
got
a
culture
of
excellence.
When
it
comes
to
customer
service,
you
can
see
your
rate
21
points
above
the
national
average
and
I
think
that's
a
real
credit
to
your
employees.
If
the
individual
people
who
are
answering
the
phones
and
being
responsive
to
residents
when
they
interact
with
them,
that's
rare
in
large
cities,
which
is
why
you
could
see
you're
so
much
higher
rated
than
the
average
community.
But
as
you
work
your
way
to
the
bottom
of
the
list,
you'll
see
this
is
for
large
cities.
This
isn't
the
national
average
for
all
cities.
AF
The
average
large
city
is
at
35%
for
communities
with
more
than
250,000
you're
at
9%,
which
is
one
of
the
lowest
rated
so
of
the
21
of
the
35
largest
cities
that
we
have
you're
one
of
the
lowest
in
that
group,
so
certainly
some
opportunities
to
be
better
there
when
it
comes
to
utilities
and
your
solid
waste
services.
Again,
these
often
times
impact
people
weekly
daily,
and
you
can
see
in
all
areas
you're
doing
significantly
better
than
community
other
communities.
AF
So
customer
service
strengths,
your
public
safety
strengths,
but
the
transportation
and
maintenance
issues
continue
to
be
areas
where
you
like.
Behind
the
other
thing
that
you'll
notice
in
the
report
is,
we
have
a
lot
of
maps
for
today's
presentation.
I
just
put
one
on
here,
which
is
the
overall
satisfaction
with
city
services,
and
you
can
see
that
it's
mixed,
but
generally
leans
favorable.
AF
In
other
words,
you
don't
see
any
areas
of
the
map
where
the
respondents
are
red
or
orange,
which
would
indicate
that
the
average
person
there
was
dissatisfied
that
neutral
rating
on
a
five-point
scale
really
means
you're
meeting
expectations.
You're
doing
okay,
anytime,
you
see
blue
you're,
really
exceeding
expectations,
you're
doing
better
than
people
expect
so
all-in-all
citywide,
but
the
big
area,
that's
keeping
you
from
seeing
that
all
turn
blue
is
the
maintenance
and
transportation
related
issues.
When
you
see
some
of
the
trends
compared
to
last
year.
AF
This
is
why
I
said
upfront
that
there
wasn't
much
change.
We
evaluate
over
80
items
year
after
year,
and
only
six
items
changed
by
five
percent
or
more,
and
you
can
see
there
were
three
that
went
up
and
three
that
went
down.
Interestingly,
all
three
that
went
up
had
to
do
or
two
of
the
three
that
went
up.
It
was
all
three
that
would
not
had
to
do
with
public
safety
related
issues.
You
can
see
perceptions
of
safety,
walking
neighborhoods
after
dark.
Your
local
traffic
laws
and
availability.
AF
K
AF
The
information
thank
you
don't
is
the
quality
didn't
change
significantly
outside
for
the
aquatic
facilities
when
it
comes
to
the
top
priorities,
moving
ahead,
condition
of
streets
I,
think
you
know
this.
What's
great
is
I
hear
coming
in
today
that
you
actually
got
a
lot
of
things
in
place
to
potentially
raise
the
funding,
so
I
think
you're
doing
the
right
things,
and
until
you
probably
get
that
funding
going
and
out
in
the
streets,
it's
going
to
be
difficult
to
address
this
issue,
but
you
can
see
streets
are
at
the
top
of
the
issue.
AF
So
this
is
a
little
different
and
the
reason
we
do
this
is
if
nobody
cared
about
the
service.
You
shouldn't
prioritize
it
because
no
one's
going
to
notice
or
you
need
to
educate
them,
that
it
is
important
and
you
can
see
streets
conditions,
traffic
flow
at
the
top
of
the
list
followed
by
public
transit
and
code
enforcement,
but
clearly
the
top
three
all
have
to
do
with
your
transportation
system,
and
this
is
for
people
who
are
more
visual
learners.
It's
the
same
data
just
from
left
to
right.
The
importance
is
plotted.
AF
The
things
on
the
right
side
are
more
important
than
those
on
the
left
and
the
satisfaction
is
plotted
on
the
vertical
axis,
so
things
on
the
bottom
are
lower
rated
than
those
at
the
top
and
what
you're
looking
for
is
there
anything?
That's
really
important
to
folks,
but
you're
not
doing
as
well
as
you
can
see.
Condition
of
streets
is
in
the
bottom
right
quadrant
and
you
can
see,
follow
of
traffic
is
next
and
the
other
items
are
fairly
well
distributed,
based
on
expectations
that
those
are
the
two
that
are
really
out
of
line.
AF
Coming
back
to
our
specific
improvements
by
topic,
in
addition
to
the
overall
ratings.
We
also
did
this
kind
of
within
categories.
You
can
see
within
code
enforcement
if
you
just
want
to
improve
code
enforcement.
This
is
an
overall
city,
satisfaction,
you'd,
focus
on
cleaning
up,
junk
and
debris
on
private
property
mowing
and
cutting
of
weeds
in
the
enforcement
of
exterior
maintenance
of
residential
property.
Those
are
the
three
critical
factors
and
code
enforcement
within
maintenance.
It's
your
major
streets
and
your
neighborhood
streets,
along
with
pavement
markings
and
with
Parks
and
Recreation.
AF
So
by
doing
better
in
that
area,
you
may
see
overall
satisfaction
with
parks
increase
next
year,
but
to
summarize
really
not
a
lot
of
changes
this
year,
this
is
kind
of
like
going
into
getting
a
well
health
physical
with
your
doctor,
and
you
walk
out
and
say
you're
doing
just
like
you
were
the
last
time,
you're
doing
just
fine,
and
so
the
city
continues
to
set
the
standard
for
customer
service.
The
city
continues
and
set
the
standard.
AF
What
comes
to
overall,
satisfaction
that
you
really
will
need
to
address
the
issue
of
Street
maintenance
and
I
think
you've
got
a
plan
in
place
to
potentially
fund
that,
which
I
think
means
you're
on
the
right
direction.
So
with
that
I
don't
know
if
there
are
any
questions,
but
overall,
that's
what
we
found
this
year.
Any.
O
AF
That's
actually
what
we
find
in
a
number
of
communities
where
that's
the
case,
we'll
find
that
education
is
a
concern
and
that's
kind
of
outside
the
city's
parameters
directly,
as
you
say,
but
it's
an
indicator
that
could
be
added
to
the
surveys
overall
questions
next
year
we
have
benchmarking
data
for
that
as
well.
Thank
you
and.
K
I
also
noticed
one
of
the
lower
writings
that
we
received
was
it's
a
great
place
or
it's
a
good,
whatever
the
questions
said
to
raise
a
child
and
I
think
that
goes
with
the
education
issue,
that
again
not
just
Oklahoma
City,
but
public
school
systems.
Unfortunately,
throughout
Oklahoma
and
Oklahoma
City
are
experiencing
I've
got
a
question
for
our
city
manager.
Could
we
put
together
a
resolution
between
now
and
September?
K
That
would
show
our
commitment
to
assuming
that
the
upcoming
maps
and
our
geo
bond
elections
are
passed,
that
our
goal
is
to
improve
the
quality
of
our
streets,
or
maybe
we
could
say
that
once
these
two
programs
are
fully
implemented,
our
goal
is
to
achieve
a
overall
PCI
rating
of
I.
Don't
know
you,
let
me
know
what
the
percentage
should
be
higher
would
be
better
like
80
not
just
to
get
there,
but
then
we
would
maintain
our
streets
going
forward
and
then
maybe
each
year
we
could
revote
on
that
resolution.
K
O
It's
possible
I've,
one
of
their
commentated,
but
one
other
thing:
that's
striking
about
this,
and
we've
talked
about
this
before
the
national
average
on
citizens
that
are
satisfied
with
the
quality
of
streets
in
their
city
is
35
percent.
We're
nine
percent,
so
were
the
lowest.
But
if
you
there's
basically
no
city
where
people
think
their
streets
are
great
right,
yeah.
O
K
Think
our
situation
is
so
complex
just
due
to
our
size.
If
we
could
at
least
get
the
arterial
streets,
you
know
improved
and
then
hopefully,
at
some
point
time
get
more.
The
neighborhood
street
that
would
go
along
right,
I
think
it
would
actually
help
our
overall
ratings
in
other
areas
too,
because
I
think
to
some
degree
our
traffic
flow
is,
is
inhibited
to
at
some
degree
as
a
result
of
the
quality
of
the
streets.
K
You
know
we
have
to
avoid
certain
areas
or
there's
you
know
streets
shut
down
because
of
repairs,
or
you
know
so
I
think
it
would
help
and
many
of
our
ratings
plus
it
would
help
the
citizens
say:
hey
we're
being
responsive
to
their
greatest
concern
that
they've
identified
to
us
and
we're
trying
to
address
those
concerns.
It's.
AF
R
AF
D
Vice
mayor,
the
last
thing
on
the
agenda
is
the
sales
and
use
tax
collections
for
July.
The
sales
tax
was
up
a
percent
and
a
half
it's
a
little
bit
under
positive,
we'll
take
it,
but
it's
a
little
bit
under
what
a
projection
is.
The
use
tax
was
actually
up
quite
a
bit.
It
was
up
to
twenty
one
percent
over
last
year
and
that's
primarily
because
of
the
collection
on
the
amazon
internet.
