Description
Mayor Mick Cornett hosts the 11th Annual Mayor's Development Roundtable.
A
Thank
you,
mayor
becker.
That
was
really
really
enjoyable.
We
really
appreciate
the
passion
that
you
obviously
have
for
your
city.
Okay,
guys,
are
you
ready
for
some
lightning
with
your
thunder
today?
I
know
that
was
weak.
I
know
okay,
let's,
let's,
let's
get
going
now,
you're
gonna
get
you
know,
you're
going
to
get
a
drink
with
a
fire
hose
right
now,
so
we're
going
to
welcome
the
chair
of
the
citizens
advisory
committee
of
the
maps
3
project,
dr
tom.
B
Well,
thank
you
judy
great
to
be
with
you
guys,
math
3
promises
to
be
what
we
all
think
is
another
giant
step
forward
in
the
in
our
development
as
a
big
league
city,
like
its
predecessors,
maps,
one
and
maps
for
kids.
It
is
a
pay-as-you-go
program
funded
by
a
sales
tax,
a
one-cent
sales
tax
that
we're
all
excited
to
announce
is
running
above
projections.
B
There
are
eight
projects
included
for
777
million
dollars.
The
sales
tax
mayor
becker
is
projected
to
be
eight
million
dollars
a
month
and
we're
running
ahead
of
projections.
So
we're
very
happy
about
that.
The
the
sales
tax,
in
addition
has
been
enhanced
by
some
new
businesses
here,
the
outlet
mall
and
that
sort
of
thing
the
mayor
and
the
city
council
developed
a
a
process
for
citizen
oversight.
B
It
includes
an
11
member
citizens,
advisory
board
with
eight
subcommittees
one
for
each
project
that
will
be
included,
and
that
means
that
we
have
about
80
citizens
that
are
volunteering
here
are
the
projects
that
we
intend
to
build:
a
new
70-acre
downtown
park,
a
new
infrastructure
of
trails
and
sidewalks
a
we
have
a
transit,
modern
streetcar
about
six
miles
of
that.
That
will
include
an
intermodal
hold
a
new
downtown
convention
center
for
senior
health
and
wellness
centers
and
the
other
project
that
you
see
there.
We
allocated
about
130
million
dollars
for
the
new
downtown
park.
B
It
will
be
bisected
by
the
new
I-40
location
and
about
two-thirds
on
the
in
the
upper
park
and
we're
in
the
process
of
acquiring
the
upper
park
property.
Now,
and
it's
going
quite
well,
I
might
add
it's
shown
in
green
on
this.
The
red
part,
the
red
part
at
the
bottom,
is
the
lower
park,
bordered
on
the
north
by
the
new
boulevard
bordered
on
the
south
by
the
river
connected
by
the
iconic
sky,
dance
bridge
that
we're
all
so
proud
to
already
have
in
existence
going
over
the
new
I-40.
B
This
map
shows
in
dark
blue
the
acquisition
process,
progress
that
we're
making
and,
as
you
can
see,
we're
more
than
three-fourths
there
on
having
the
property
already
acquired
for
the
upper
park
area.
Our
goal
is
to
have
it
ready
when
the
new
boulevard
is
open
in
2014
to
have
the
new
the
upper
part
of
the
park
ready
to
go
as
well:
transit,
modern
streetcar,
the
initial
cost
estimate
was
130
million
dollars.
B
The
subcommittee
has
decided
on
a
proposed
route
that
has
been
submitted
to
the
council.
The
santa
fe
railroad
station
has
been
recommended
as
the
modal
intermodal
hub
and
the
proposed
route
is
currently
under
discussion.
This
shows
that
perhaps
you
can
see
the
yellow
outline.
It
generally
goes
up,
broadway
to
13th
down
robinson
back
to
the
convention
center,
the
park
and
the
basketball
arena
with
a
spur
that
goes
into
brick
into
bricktown.
Next
is
the
convention
center.
B
It
has
an
estimated
initial
cost
of
250
million
dollars.
It's
to
be
located.
The
location
has
been
decided
on
and
approved
by
the
council
immediately
west
of
the
basketball
arena
and
we're
in
the
process
now
of
acquiring
that
property
should
be
something
spectacular
in
that
area.
The
oklahoma
river,
the
initial
cost
estimate
was
60
million
dollars
for
a
several
project,
one
of
which
was
a
new
race
course.
Starting
system
lighting
improvements,
a
new
windscreen
and,
interestingly
enough,
a
brand
new
whitewater
facility
that
we're
thinking
now
will
be
located
in
the
boathouse
district.
B
B
We
plan
to
have
four
new
health
and
wellness
centers
geographically
dispersed
around
the
city.
The
initial
cost
estimate
for
this
project
was
50
million
dollars,
we're
in
the
process
now
of
locating
operating
partners
that
the
community
partners
that
would
help
operate
these
centers
map
3
does
not
include
operational
funds
for
those
the
trails.
We
are
very
proud
of
the
that
we're
going
to
help
complete
the
oklahoma
city
master
plan
for
the
trails.
B
The
allocated
cost
is
40
million
dollars
and
it
will
be
part
of
completing
the
existing
trail
system
that
we
already
have
in
the
city
which
will
be
shown
on
this
slide
in
red.
You
can
see
those
plans
that
will
have
that
will
have
the
maps
3
money
used,
but,
generally
speaking,
it
will
connect
and
be
part
of
the
master
plan
for
the
trail
system.
B
Sidewalks,
we're
developing
a
master
plan
for
that
prioritizing
and
trying
to
strategically
plan
where
we'll
spend
the
estimated
cost
of
10
million
dollars
for
new
sidewalks
in
our
city
and
right
now
thinking
a
lot
in
the
neighborhoods
around
our
city
and
very,
very
interesting
project.
For
us
this
is
the
implementation
plan.
I
know
it's
a
little
bit
of
a
busy
slide
I'll
mention
just
a
couple
of
things
about
it:
a
has
been
approved
by
the
mayor
and
city
council
b.
If
you
look
at
2012,
every
project
has
action
being
taken
on
it
now.
B
So
every
project
is
underway,
and
perhaps
the
final
point
to
be
made
is
that
the
last,
the
last
part
of
it
shows
2021
when
we
will
complete
it
what's
next,
for
us
continue
the
process
that
has
been
working
so
well
follow
the
implementation
plan,
enhance
and
protect
the
maps
brand
that
has
been
so
effective
for
our
city
and
delivered
to
the
citizens
of
our
city,
exactly
what
they
voted
for
us
to
do.
Thank
you.
A
Wow
is
that
great,
what
a
way
to
spend
777
million
dollars
like
to
take
him
shopping
with
me.
Thank
you
tom.
Our
next
person
is
someone
that
you
all
know,
and
certainly
has
a
passion
for
education.
So
we're
delighted
to
have
a
former
mayor
who
has
just
been
named
to
the
university
of
oklahoma
board
of
regents.
So
you
can
tell
his
passion
for
education
is
very
important
to
him.
Let's
welcome
the
chairman
of
the
new
downtown
charter,
school
kirk,
humphreys.
C
Thank
you.
Judy
in
1998
assistant
city
manager,
jovan
bullard
made
a
statement
that
would
change
our
city
regarding
our
efforts
to
revitalize
older
neighborhoods.
He
said
mary
you
can
put
in
new
gateways,
you
can
add
parks
and
sidewalks.
You
can
pave
the
streets
with
gold,
but
until
you
fix
those
schools,
no
one's
going
to
buy
a
home
in
there,
joe
van's
statement
helped
me
see
that
city
hall
needed
to
intervene
and
fix
our
schools.
C
C
C
C
These
new
buildings
are
giving
rise
to
a
new
sense
of
pride
in
the
school
district
and
the
hope
that
these
schools
can
once
again
compete
with
the
best
schools
in
the
metro,
but
the
job's
only
half
done
the
hard
part
is
changing.
What
takes
place
in
the
classroom
when
math
for
kids
was
approved,
test
scores
in
oklahoma
city
averaged
about
61
percent
of
those
in
the
major
suburban
districts.
C
Progress
has
been
made
over
the
last
10
years.
Carl
springer
is
completing
his
fourth
year
as
superintendent
he's
brought
stability
and
leadership
to
an
office
that
previously
had
been
a
revolving
door.
Test
scores
have
gotten
better
today,
they're
at
74
percent
of
the
metro
average.
That's
better,
but
not
good
enough.
C
Every
parent
wants
a
quality
education
for
their
child.
They
want
to
see
a
path
to
their
ch
student,
all
the
way
through
school,
from
elementary
school
middle
school,
high
school
and
ultimately
to
graduation,
and
while
we
have
some
outstanding
schools
in
the
city
district,
we
don't
have
that
k
through
12
path
anywhere
in
the
district.
C
C
C
it'll
be
unlike
any
other
school
in
the
metro
area.
It'll
be
an
urban
school
located.
A
block
west
of
myriad
gardens
block
west
of
the
devon
tower
close
to
downtown
amenities
like
the
myriad
gardens,
civic
center
music
hall,
the
museum
of
art,
the
downtown
library,
the
is
being
designed
right
now,
maps
for
kids
funding
will
pay
for
the
school,
but
we
will
add
private
donations
of
several
million
dollars
so
that
it
can
be
a
top-rate
school
that
can
give
children
a
well-rounded
education.
C
C
C
That's
a
non-profit
that
exists
to
promote
quality
education
in
oklahoma
city.
We
recruited
24
outstanding
leaders
to
join
us.
We
negotiated
with
the
school
district
and
they
approved
a
partnership
with
our
non-profit
to
govern
this
charter
school
in
a
truly
historic
move.
The
school
district
will
apply
apply
for
the
charter
from
the
university
of
oklahoma.
C
The
district
will
assign
all
the
benefits
and
obligations
under
the
charter
contract
to
the
john
rex
board
and
that
board
will
set
the
policies,
hire
the
principal
and
be
accountable
for
the
results.
The
upshot
of
that
is
its
shared
success.
When
we
succeed
it'll
be
the
school
board's
success
with
us
folks
we're
not
trying
to
build
an
elementary
school
we're
trying
to
build
a
learning
city.
We
intend
to
do
that
one
school
at
a
time.
We
ask
you
to
join
us.
Thank
you.
A
Well,
that's
going
to
be
exciting!
We're
really
looking
forward
to
that.
Thank
you
so
much
kirk,
our
next,
not
lightning
round
presentation
will
update
us
on
projects.
The
alliance
for
economic
development
is
working
on.
Please
welcome
the
president
and
ceo
of
the
alliance
of
economic
development,
kathy
o'connor.
D
Well,
good
morning,
we're
going
to
take
a
few
minutes
to
update
you
on
some
of
the
projects
that
the
alliance
for
economic
development
has
been
working
on,
you're
going
to
hear
about
most
of
them
in
other
presentations.
But
I'm
going
to
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
how
the
alliance
links
different
public
sector
agencies
together
to
create
incentive
programs
and
help
make
these
projects
happen.
D
The
agencies
that
are
involved
in
the
alliance
for
economic
development
include
the
oklahoma
city,
urban
renewal
authority,
the
economic
development
trust,
the
oklahoma
industries
authority,
the
oklahoma
city,
industrial
and
cultural
facilities,
trust
and
the
oklahoma
city
redevelopment
authority
as
we
go
through
the
projects.
You'll
understand
a
little
bit
about
how
these
different
agencies
have
different
incentive
programs
that
we
use
for
projects
where
we're
going
to
start
is,
with
the
devon
tower
and
tiff
number
eight.
D
Like
the
myriad
gardens-
and
I
think,
when
it's
all
finished,
we're
going
to
really
appreciate
what
a
great
project
it
is.
The
downtown
housing
study
is
something
else
that
we've
been
working
on,
also
related
to
tax
increment
financing
and
will
help
us
develop
new
policies
on
how
we
implement
tif
funding
for
projects.
D
The
downtown
housing
study
found
that
there
is
demand
for
more
housing,
it's
mostly
with
young
people
between
18
and
34..
So
some
of
the
projects
that
we
have
underway
right
now,
we
have
about
a
thousand
pro.
A
thousand
units
of
residential
construction
underway
are
about
to
be
underway
in
downtown.
Those
include
the
level
which
is
about
a
228
unit
apartment
complex,
which
is
leasing
right
now,
carnegie
center,
which
is
judy's
project,
that'll,
use,
tiff
and
historic
tax
credits
to
make
that
project
happen.
It's
about
18
units
of
residential
and
includes
commercial
and
retail
space.
D
The
next
project
is
some
projects
in
midtown.
All
of
these
projects
were
grouped
together
to
provide
tiff
funding.
They
include
haddon
hall,
which
again
is
about
18
units
of
residential
and
some
retail,
the
klein
and
the
1212
walker
project.
Those
all
have
about
a
million
dollars
of
tax,
increment
financing
in
them
and
involved
the
economic
development,
trust
and
the
city
to
make
those
projects
happen.
Here's
an
image
of
1212,
which
was
a
1950s
parking
garage,
that's
being
converted
to
about
27
units
of
residential
klein,
is
another
one
of
the
projects.
D
Some
of
the
projects
that
we
work
on
involve
you
know
mostly
urban
renewal
projects
and
an
example
of
that
is
the
edge
at
bricktown.
The
edge
of
bricktown
will
be
built
on
the
old
mercy
hospital
site.
It's
a
250
unit
apartment
complex
with
retail.
On
the
first
floor
along
walker,
it
will
involve
tax
increment
financing
as
well,
but
it
is
on
an
urban
renewal
site.
The
aloft
hotel
is
another
example
of
a
urban
renewal
project,
it's
being
built
on
land
that
was
originally
purchased
by
urban
renewal
and
and
included
in
a
redevelopment
agreement.
D
One
of
the
other
areas
that
the
alliance
is
involved
in
is
job
creation
and
creating
sites
for
future
employment.
We've
been
involved
in
the
employment
land
study,
which
is
a
planning
study
that
will
be
part
of
the
update
of
the
city's
comprehensive
plan,
and
it
helps
us
to
identify
sites
for
future
industrial
development
and
develop
strategies
to
protect
those
again
on
economic
development
and
job
creation.
D
Oklahoma
city
is
really
fortunate
that
we
have
a
local
economic
development
incentive
fund
and
we
work
closely
with
the
chamber
to
provide
incentives
to
companies
that
meet
the
qualifications
of
the
program
and
continental
and
boeing
work.
Two
examples
of
that.
Another
project
that
we
have
been
involved
in
is
the
development
of
the
outlet
shops,
and
this
is
a
retail
incentive
project
where
we
provided
sales
tax
rebates
to
help
build
the
infrastructure
necessary
for
the
outlet
shops
and
we
provide
them
with
a
rebate
for
regional
marketing
in
maps.
D
Obviously,
from
hearing
from
the
mayor
of
salt
lake,
we
understand
that
a
great
deal
of
private
investment
is
possible
from
the
maps
projects
and
we're
trying
to
develop
the
strategies
to
best
implement
that.
I
think
something
else.
That's
dear
to
everybody's
heart,
in
downtown
oklahoma
city.
Right
now
is
parking
and
the
city
has
completed
a
downtown
parking
study.
D
And
now
the
alliance
is
working
with
the
central
oklahoma,
transit
and
parking
authority
to
develop
sites
and
to
put
together
ideas
on
how
to
build
more
parking
for
downtown
very
quickly
and,
finally,
something
that
people
don't
realize
that
we
may
be
involved
in
is
the
oklahoma
industries
authority,
which
has
had
a
long
term
involvement
with
tinker
air
force
base
and
developments
around
tinker.
We're
involved
with
the
boeing
mrotc,
which
is
a
facility,
that's
been
leased
and
is
used
to
create
jobs
in
oklahoma
city.
Thank.
