Board Management Report – August 2014

Economic Development Since the beginning of Tulsa’s Future II, which began on January 1, 2011, we have assisted with the creation of 10,383 jobs with average annual wages of over $50,000, and a total capital investment of $1,002,548,836. As of July 31, 2014, we have achieved 69.22% of our stretch goal of 15,000 jobs created with annual average wages above $50,000 with 71.66% of the time frame for the contract expired. The total new jobs created in the Tulsa’s Future II program at all annual salary levels is 19,465. Our Business Retention and Expansion staff has completed 386 visits through July 31, 2014. We currently have 40 projects: 29 new business and 11 expansions. The majority of the projects (90%) are in Advanced Manufacturing, Energy, Aerospace and Aviation and Regional Headquarters. Other Updates:

There have been 15 site visits through July.

Dennis Altendorf attended the Air Show in Farnborough, England. Dennis traveled with the Mayor and they had 21 meetings with companies. As a result of Dennis attending the Airshow, an aerospace company made a site visit to Tulsa.

The Mayor’s Business Retention Breakfast held on August 8 featured TYPros.

The Manufacturers’ Council meeting was held on August 13 at APSCO. The meeting was a review of the 2014 Legislative Session, and a preview of the 2015 Legislative Session.

The Forge is full, with six tenant companies and 14 co-working members.

We are working with the Communications team to heavily promote the Small Business Summit. Lynda Wingo and Heather Davis are visiting numerous Chambers across NE Oklahoma to help push Summit attendance.

Government Affairs The Tulsa Regional Legislative OneVoice task forces will complete work by mid-August and vote to send key items to the OneVoice Summit. The taskforce meetings have been full of thought provoking conversations. Valid concerns have been shared and discussed on many state and federal issues. Other Updates: Significant advances have been made in the structure of the Vision 2025 renewal package. The Tulsa City Council and Mayor Bartlett seem to be coming to an agreement on the package and the direction to take for passage of the package. The current proposal would consist of two separate votes. The first vote would be a river specific vote that would involve Sand Springs, Tulsa, Jenks and possibly Bixby in early 2015. The remainder of the package would be voted on in early 2016. The Government Affairs division will now focus on restructuring task force member involvement during the legislative session. We want to tap into the knowledge and opinions of task force members throughout the legislative session, not just during the agenda-making process. We are designing targeted emails that will have pertinent information specific to the areas covered in each task force, along with action items so our members will have a better sense of how to be involved in the legislative process.

The division has completed the scorecard for all House and Senate members. We have chosen 17 bills that were specific to the OneVoice agenda subjects and key Chamber issues. Tracking our legislators and their voting record is important information to have going into the next legislative session to help guide our lobbying efforts. VisitTulsa VisitTulsa is attending and exhibiting at the American Society of Association Executives annual conference in Nashville Tennessee on August 9 - 12. This conference will give Tulsa the opportunity to meet with national and regional associations that could potentially bring business to Tulsa. We are partnering with the Cox Business Center in this venture, as they are our main meeting space in Tulsa and have the potential to accommodate these associations for their conventions. Currently the VisitTulsa Capital Campaign 2.0 is in full swing and going very well. We have had great success in going out and meeting with our current partners while making new partners in this process. The campaign is expected to wrap up in late September. Recently, the Mobile visitors Center (MVC) was at the National Bikers Roundup where 30,000 - 35,000 bikers came to Tulsa for their annual event. The MVC was a place where people could get information on all there is to do in Tulsa and it saw many visitors at this event. The MVC had a great presence from Wednesday to Saturday at this event. Additionally, the MVC was at the Center of the Universe where information on the destination was given out to visitors of the MVC. Surveys were taken of the guests at the Center of the Universe to look at the demographics of where visitors where coming in from to the event. About 800 surveys were taken. Tulsa Sports Commission The Tulsa Sports Commission continues to engage our core mission to retain, recruit, develop and enhance all aspects of sport activities over a three to five year plan. In some cases, staff is looking into multi-event opportunities that could reach as far out as 2022. It is important to note that when possible, TSC will recruit sporting opportunities in either back to back years or over a period of years in a rotation back to Tulsa to secure long-term consistent events for the destination. Examples of these events range from the BASS Master Classic, the recently hosted USA Volleyball High Performance Championship and the NCAA Men’s Division I 2nd & 3rd Round Basketball tournament. Big 12 Baseball Local Organizing Committee (LOC) The committee met on July 15 to discuss sub-committee roles and responsibilities. Six (6) action items resulted from the committee’s discussion. Committee members have been assigned to these action items. They are:

1. Develop and determine ticket prices for suites, session and individuals 2. Develop and determine the format of the Fan Fest at the Guthrie Green 3. Using ticket prices and sponsorship opportunities at the Guthrie Green, develop sponsorship packages for

mid to late Fall deployment by ONEOK staff 4. Develop and conduct a “Charm Tour” in the Brady District for merchants and vendors to understand and

contribute to the tournament atmosphere. 5. Develop signage and parking program for tournament

6. Develop and determine the itinerary for the Big 12 baseball coaches meeting September 7-8, 2014 showcasing Tulsa.

The committee is scheduled to reconvene the week of August 18th to review progress, determine further action items and discuss progress with the Big 12 Committee. Athletic Women Excel (AWE) Tulsa Monthly forward progress is being made to this TSC committee to promote and create opportunities for the girls and women in the Tulsa region through sport endeavors. The leadership group, headed by Paula Marshall, has met and determined a strategy session that compliments the current TSC overall strategic plan. Currently conceptual branding items are being discussed by committee members and TSC for consideration by TSC Leadership. Future action items include a Press conference in conjunction with our MOVE Forum for Women, tentatively scheduled for October 2nd, pending schedules of TSC Leadership. TSC Staff is also exploring alternative funding sources through grants specific to promoting healthy lifestyles or advancement of female sporting opportunities. Mohawk Soccer Complex In July, TSC staff traveled to this year’s US Youth Soccer National Championship in Germantown, MD to promote Tulsa’s hosting of the same event in 2015 and coordinate with the national committee. Contractual items needed to host the tournament were refined and are being shared with TSC Leadership. Examples of these items include perimeter fencing and stadium seating at the showcase field for 2,000 people. Currently these two items do not exist in acceptable forms at the complex. To this end, this month, TSC staff has created a complex-wide sponsorship plan that utilized the rights granted by the City of Tulsa to secure long term sponsors to improve the complex in line with regional and national sports complexes that compete for similar sporting events. Once TSC Leadership reviews and approves this plan, it will be used to secure interested individuals or corporations aligned with supporting grass-related sporting events. The TSC staff also continues to recruit, and or develop opportunities to program short, medium and long term events. Community Development Mayor’s Task Force on Homelessness The Mayor’s task force on homelessness met July 29 to identify ways they can support and advance the efforts of Tulsa’s various service and faith agencies to address homelessness, particularly within downtown. DCC and Chamber staff met with these service and faith agencies in previous months to discuss their chief concerns in four primary areas: Personal Safety & Panhandling, Symptomatic Incidents, Encampments and Migration. The Task Force, including representatives from the agencies, business community and downtown stakeholders, determined their initial focus will include: educating the public on issues of personal safety, panhandling and homelessness; steps needed and costs to reinstate a public inebriate facility; and identifying sources of funding for a transportation system dedicated to getting people in need to services providers (i.e. health clinic, federal agencies, etc.).

TCC has agreed to provide a location for the event and has also agreed to sponsor the keynote speaker for the event. Dr. Clancy spoke at the August 6 meeting of the Rotary Club of Tulsa on Regional Vision efforts and was very well received by the club. Regional Branding The regional brand council is using the workforce analysis project and market street findings related to workforce needs to create a campaign book toward targeting potential donors.

Target Measure

Attainment of a publicly funded incentive program.


Continue to monitor political feasibility for a local public incentive fund.

Comments

Since the defeat of the Vision 2 proposal, it is still incumbent on the economic development division to reiterate that aneconomic crisis still exists and that we still are in danger of losing nearly 11,000 high-paying, primary jobs at the TulsaAirport Industrial Complex. The Macy’s announcement should also be used as an example on how incentives wereneeded to land a large employer in the Tulsa region. Based on the Tulsa County Commissioner race in June of 2014, wewill be analyzing an appropriate timeframe for a follow up to Vision 2. The current political environment is constantly beingmonitored, but we will likely look to begin efforts now that the June 2014 county commissioner race is over. EconomicDevelopment staff continues to publicly discuss the need for airport improvements and a local closing fund torecruit/retain high-paying jobs. We are aggressively and publicly discussing the need for a local closing fund and airportinfrastructure upgrades in order to lay the groundwork for a follow up to Vision 2.

Task force actively pursuing direct flights to existing and additional destinations

Comments

The Tulsa International Airport in conjunction with the Tulsa Regional Chamber and the Direct Flights Task Forcelaunched an Air Service Initiative aimed at gathering direct flight needs from business travelers in 2013. This survey wascompleted by 740 respondents and showed the need for non-stop air service to Los Angeles, Kansas City and Orlando inaddition to other cities currently served by non-stop flights. We are currently working with Tulsa International Airport staffon the non-stop flights initiative through monthly meetings. The airport has a new person assigned to this task and isaggressively pursuing new airlines as well as new routes to the west coast. In order to motivate airlines to add newnon-stop destinations, they typically require a revenue guarantee. We rolled out a marketing brochure in Q1 2014 to thebusiness community requesting donations to the non-stop air service fund. In August 2013 Tulsa International Airportannounced a new air service, Allegiant Air which provides non-stop service to Orlando. On January 7, 2014 Allegiantannounced they are adding larger aircraft to accommodate more passengers for their Orlando flight. American Airlinesannounced in February 2014 that they will be adding a new non-stop destination to Charlotte, North Carolina beginning inJune 2014.

Comments

Due to candidate filings, both political action committees have had to be very active in 2014. In early June, theTulsaBizPac held one day of candidate interviews for Tulsa City Council candidates, meeting with nine candidates for fourseats. The OklahomaBizPac interviewed candidates over two additional days, interviewing 21 candidates for County andstate legislative races. Both PACs were very successful in their Primary Election endorsements. All threeTulsaBizPac-endorsed candidates either won outright, or advanced to a runoff. Blake Ewing also strongly won re-electionin his district. The OklahomaBizPac successfully advanced 13 of 14 candidates, with the exception of County Assessor -a challenging attempt to unseat an incumbent. Fundraising continues to go well, and the BizPac is now pivoting tofundraise for the General Election. To date, the TulsaBizPac has raised $17,000, and spent $6,000 on Primary Electioncontributions for $11,000 cash on hand; and the OklahomaBizPac has raised $34,000, with $16,000 spent on Primaryand Runoff elections for $18,000 cash on hand. Both are in very strong positions as we head into the General Election. Inthe General Election, we will have four City Council races in contention - in Districts 3, 6, 7, and 9 - that we will be veryactive in. We will also see several state races in contention, with 2-3 races in a very heated contest. Both PACs willreconvene for candidate interviews in late September and make General Election endorsements shortly after.

providing $45 million for a new Juvenile Justice Center, and $9.3 million for an expansion of the Tulsa County Jail.Proposition 1 (Juvenile Justice Center) passed by more than 70 percent, and Proposition 2 (Tulsa County Jail expansion)passed with more than 66 percent support. Nick Doctor played a lead role in campaign fundraising and strategy, raisingmore than $210,000 for the campaign and hiring AH Strategies and SixPR to assist in the campaign efforts. ChamberGAD and Communications staff coordinated weekly meetings of both the campaign steering committee and campaignfundraising committee, and developed campaign messaging, outreach, and targeting strategies. We are beginning topivot toward the next Tulsa Public Schools bond election, which will be held in April of 2015. The TPS Bond Committee isbeginning to meet in June to craft the package. We currently anticipate the proposal being finished in October, withendorsement being considered by the Chamber's Executive Committee in November and full Board of Directors inDecember. We are also actively participating in discussions around Vision renewal, and the River Infrastructure TaskForce spearheaded by the City of Tulsa. This conversation will become much more urgent in the next 3-4 months, andGAD staff is positioning the Chamber to collaborate in leading discussions of regional cooperation and project selection.GAD has preserved $170,000 of the FY 2014 Tulsa's Future Issues Fund to be rolled over into FY 2015, giving us astrong financial base for an eventual Vision renewal campaign.

Engage regional municipal partners and stakeholders in developing a long-term strategy on municipal finance reform,sharing of services, and economies of scale in the state of Oklahoma. Study historical development, best practices, andlegislative barriers, engaging a consultant if needed.

Comments

A key barrier to regional collaboration and increased cooperation has been Oklahoma's municipal tax structure, forcingcities to rely solely on sales taxes for general operations. This drives cities to compete strongly for retail companies,leading to increased tension and siloed economic development efforts. We've been very fortunate to have a large amountof cooperation among our regional partners for efforts like the recently-announced Macy's projects, but broaderinvestment and collaboration continue to be hampered as each city strives to compete with the others. Finding a solutionto municipal finance has also been a top issue on the OneVoice Legislative Agenda for many years. GAD staff has begunthe process of engaging municipal partners and stakeholders in a broader conversation on municipal finance reform, andhow this can translate to sharing of services and increased cooperation. We have launched a much more concerted lookat municipal finance in the OneVoice task force process, and are partnering with key partners in the Mayor's office,Oklahoma Municipal League, Coalition of Tulsa Area Governments (CTAG), State and OKC chambers, and regionalpartners to build a two-year strategy on this issue.

Tulsa County has 864 (steady) employers covering 2,073 (slight decrease) employees in Insure Oklahoma; with 664(decrease) individuals in the individual plans. (April 2014 report.) The 5-county Tulsa region has 1,092 (decrease)employers covering 3,230 (increase) lives with 1,005 (large decrease) in the individual plans. The program currentlycovers 18,776 lives between the ESI and IP programs (May 2014 report). At the beginning of July, Governor Fallinannounced that Insure Oklahoma had been reauthorized for another year without any further modifications to theprogram. The waiver for the program was set to expire on December 31, 2014, so reauthorization signaled again that thefeds are willing to continue to work with the state on potential options to cover the state's uninsured population. During thefirst meeting of the Health Care Advocacy Task Force, Nico Gomez, Director of the Oklahoma Health Care Authority,stated that OHCA will be working to roll the Insure Oklahoma into the state's larger SoonerCare waiver, which would putthe program on a 5-year reauthorization schedule, as opposed to an annual schedule. While work has just begun in theHealth Care Advocacy Task Force, staff fully expect for the current Insure Oklahoma/Medicaid Expansion statement toremain in the top three priorities for the task force and to move onto the OneVoice Regional Legislative Summit.

Comments

This year the state faced a $188 million budget shortfall in general revenue funds, which dictated the appropriationsprocess in the final weeks of session. While the Governor had initially proposed a 5.5% cut to the Health Care Authority's(OHCA) budget in her initial budget, the legislature was ultimately able to hold the OHCA budget flat with FY 14appropriations. However, given the loss of federal matching funds and increased costs, OHCA was forced to spread inexcess of $100 million in cuts across reductions in programs and services and provider rate cuts (the agency had initiallyrequested a $140 million increase in appropriations for the FY 15 budget). After the cuts, Oklahoma's Medicaidreimbursement for physicians now stands at approximately 89.25% of Medicare rates. Even with the especially toughbudget situation, a "flat" budget for OHCA was the best case scenario and allowed the agency to avoid even deeper cuts.Additionally, two top OneVoice Priorities - funding for OSUMC and OU Tisdale - received appropriations, with both nowincluded in the base budget, making them far less susceptible to cuts and political whims in coming years. Additionally,the state's Uncompensated Care Pool received an appropriation of $2 million; while this is less than previous years, theDepartment of Health had discussed cutting the fund completely. At the beginning of July, Governor Fallin announced thatInsure Oklahoma had been reauthorized for another year without any further modifications to the program. The waiver forthe program was set to expire on December 31, 2014, so reauthorization signaled again that the feds are willing tocontinue to work with the state on potential options to cover the state's uninsured population.

Comments

Throughout the 2014 DC Fly-In, the federal OneVoice priority on GME funding was a topic of priority as attendees lobbiedOklahoma's federal delegation. Of particular concern is that GME funding will be at risk as Congress looks for budgetoffsets; however, in discussions with members of the delegation, all members noted their opposition to this move andcontinued efforts to ensure GME funding is protected. Additionally, attendees noted the need to fully fund residencygrants at Teaching Health Centers in order to ensure residents can be both attracted and retained in these slots. Giventhe difficult budget situation for FY 15, no additional state dollars were appropriated for physician residencies. TheOneVoice Health Care Advocacy Task Force held its first meeting on July 23 and will be working to develop an overallstate-level funding statement for health care services, and physician residencies is likely to be considered under thisstatement. Additionally, the group will be working to modify the federal priority to include specific language referencing theneed to reauthorize federal funding for the teaching health center program that is funding residencies at FQHCs acrossthe state.

Utilize our federal lobbyist to actively seek opportunities for river development; ensure Arkansas River developmentremains a top priority for future Vision consideration; assist with initiatives and objectives coming from the newly-formedArkansas River Task Force.

Comments

While we continue to work toward federal funding - we successfully included language in the 2014 Water ResourcesReform and Development Act (WRDA) to allow local dollars invested in the low water dam projects to be counted asmatch credit - the focus for river development has truly turned local, with discussions occurring on how we can fully fundthe needed infrastructure within the Tulsa region. The City of Tulsa launched a River Infrastructure Task Force inJanuary, composed of the Mayor, City Councilors, regional communities, and members of the business community. MikeNeal is a member of the task force, as is Stuart Solomon as our Vice Chair of Community Development. We've beenworking closely with them to structure possible funding solutions, with a focus on Vision funding. The group is in themiddle of their "City Hall In Your Neighborhood" meetings, which - despite having their focus shifted somewhat by theMayor - are educating residents on possible river development opportunities. The goal remains to receive public input ontheir broad proposal, refine this proposal further through continued meetings of the task force, and then present aframework for future funding through a final vetting process with another series of public meetings in mid- to late-2014(very similar to the Improve Our Tulsa process). Thus far the task force has done a great job of bringing together bothprivate and public sectors, as well as representatives from the regional river communities (Tulsa, Sand Springs, Jenks,Bixby, and Tulsa County). We're hopeful it will have a strong proposal ready for the next Vision renewal, or other meansof funding if one becomes available.

Our objective is focused on maintaining the coalition and keeping this tax as a county tax. 2014 will be a year of ensuringthat coalition remains intact, and beginning to develop a timeline for the creation of the next Vision package. MayorBartlett's public safety proposal has caused some tension to develop around Vision renewal, and thus far has seen littlesupport from County Commissioners, City Councilors, or regional communities. Chamber leadership had a dinner withMayor Bartlett in early July, urging him to work closely with the Council and other key stakeholders to ensure Visionrenewal was a cooperative conversation. That effort is ongoing. GAD staff has begun to had conversations in earnest withMayor Bartlett, County Commissioners, and City Councilors on this issue.
