Key points presented by Chris Green included:

- Parking revenues year-to-date: $5.8 million, about $430,000 higher than the prior year.
- Property-tax collections: $4.4 million, approximately $1.3 million higher than the prior year; staff attributed the increase to higher assessed property values and timing differences in receipts.
- Developer assistance: $1.3 million, about $600,000 lower than last year due to timing of Santa Fe bond payments.
- Program support from the city: $2.5 million this year compared with $2.9 million last year; prior-year receipts included reimbursements tied to specific projects.

Operating fund revenue year-to-date totaled about $8.8 million, roughly $1.25 million lower than the prior year; operating expenses were also lower overall. Net monthly average income was approximately $285,000. The monthly/annual reports noted a net operating surplus of about $4.5 million this year compared with the expected $784,000, in part because of the $2.6 million land sale of the 311 North Boulder lot.

Affordable Housing Trust Fund: staff reported four projects had received about $1.6 million in awards; approximately $1.33 million of that had been issued, leaving roughly $316,000 available in the fund. Of the issued amount about $1.26 million remains outstanding on receivables (a mix of short- and long-term receivables per the report).

Ending: Staff said there were no unexpected revenues or expenditures in the month and invited trustees to review the full financial packet; staff noted ongoing tracking of parking repairs and project-level spending in separate funds.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Tulsa - Tulsa Authority for Economic Opportunity - Jun 26, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Staff presented March financials showing higher parking and property-tax revenues year-to-date and a net operating surplus driven in part by a land sale.

The convening included five exhibitors, 20 speakers and eight sessions; topics ran from the current state of housing and housing trends to funding stacks, downtown development, and recent state legislation.

Vicky (staff lead) said the goal was to “get everybody in the room” and to level-set about Tulsa’s housing challenges so funders, developers, nonprofits and city and county staff could identify shared solutions. She reported strong engagement at sessions, singled out a candid panel of husband-and-wife developer teams as a highlight, and said follow-up would include quarterly “drill-down” events. The first drill-down will focus on housing and homelessness and is likely to be a full-day session.

Board members and attendees raised recurring developer concerns captured at the convening: difficulty for emerging developers to scale from single-family projects to larger townhome or duplex developments because of financing gaps; constraints from zoning and lot-size rules that make smaller-multifamily development harder in many neighborhoods; and community opposition in some areas when denser housing is proposed. Vicky said staff will pursue funding and partnership leads; she noted a timely opportunity with Ascension Saint John’s health-equity grant process and said staff had already submitted a letter of interest.

Next steps: staff will hold targeted drill-down sessions, compile and share a summary of key takeaways (what went well, top barriers and recommended next steps), continue outreach to funders and developers, and coordinate with city planning and other partners on zoning, funding stacks and pipeline questions.","Partner Tulsa reported on the May 29 Common Cause housing convening: a sold-out event with about 100 attendees, 20 speakers and eight sessions.

Michelle (economic & workforce development staff) presented SizeUp as a searchable, embedded tool that provides market data and benchmarking for entrepreneurs exploring business concepts or growth. She said the tool helps users compare similar businesses, estimate average wages and production, and access data that can inform start-up and growth decisions. The authority intends to add SizeUp to its “startup” and “growing your business” guides on the website.

Board members raised several implementation questions: whether the tool can capture user contact information or otherwise identify businesses for staff outreach; whether the tool provides analytics beyond aggregate hits (e.g., pages viewed, duration); and whether the tool is available in languages other than English. Michelle said analytics returned are typical web analytics (hits, pages visited, time on site) and that she would check on language options and lead-capture functionality. Trustees suggested the authority use SizeUp as a “front door” while ensuring the organization has processes to follow up and refer businesses to partner organizations.

Ending: Staff will finalize contract execution, confirm multilingual and analytics capabilities with the vendor, embed SizeUp on the authority website, and return usage analytics and recommendations on outreach.","The board authorized purchase of a SizeUp license (including a $3,000 setup fee) to embed benchmarking and market-data tools on its website.

Renita (staff) presented the item and said the authority had previously considered splitting services between two firms but recommended remaining with 1 80 for continuity, local knowledge and a reduced contract cost. She listed services included in the scope: social media ideation and execution, newsletter ideation and execution, graphic design, local media relations, proofreading and editing of reports, and other external communications support.

Board members asked how the authority measures success. Renita said staff meets regularly with the vendor and reviews analytics such as impressions, engagement, comments, likes, shares, and newsletter open rates; she said consistent growth has been observed when staff provides content to support the vendor’s work. Members also questioned use of artificial intelligence for marketing; Renita said the authority is developing an internal AI policy and that the marketing work requires an “authentic” brand voice that staff has not been told would be generated by AI tools.

Several trustees expressed a preference for local vendors when feasible. Renita and other board members noted 1 80’s local knowledge and responsiveness as reasons to continue the relationship. Trustees asked staff to share vendor performance data with the board going forward.

Ending: Staff will finalize the renewal and provide performance metrics to the board; the authority also plans to complete an internal AI policy and incorporate vendor performance reporting into future updates.","The board voted to renew an annual contract with 1 80 for marketing, PR and social media work (not to exceed $80,000) and discussed performance metrics, AI use, and preference for local firms.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":91,"_47":116,"_49":117,"_51":118,"_53":119,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":120,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":121,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6512731,"Tulsa Authority approves consent agenda and several vendor agreements; board OKs new bank clearing account and small-business tool",243,657000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5091858-814f9d63a1a19afa7e26448867e41ae4&start=657&end=900","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5091858-814f9d63a1a19afa7e26448867e41ae4/thumbnail_657000.jpg","/articles/6512731/Tulsa/Tulsa-County/Oklahoma/Tulsa-Authority-approves-consent-agenda-and-several-vendor-agreements-board-OKs-new-bank-clearing-account-and-small-business-tool","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6512731-b597055401512dcc1fb53e8870405c5b/orig.mp4?Expires=1770497820&Signature=DOFOU3DOvap7eVTdY0iaLQBc8phfH0LpsGp8hwOI5HyY-Xy3526sdw1WWaIJqsa1dhEsGzvXa-RByt05TRE10k6QX7Wd~nBFJGIeUMNiFB4nv2DqpBe-yFV-3MdBqMCMoUAufLBeA9z8-heX5GzyY53njkp-3eP7KfI-v4F0eg2BkIl717hKm3ogko7JHuZqZAh1vnM06eIkTa8uJ9aVXnlzFp1jWnTH87egAPSkDKTyg333h1BJenZ322SBHctYZguTGJUovqOlOMReyCAvyIqx0-wDwQC6GL5qjnY7sT~m30D7XryCDdQt1EVe4na1ihQRhYqOYPMrSJ7arvrBEA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Tulsa Authority for Economic Opportunity approved its consent agenda and a series of contracts and administrative changes during its June meeting. The board voted by roll call to: approve the consent agenda (minutes and several vendor agreements), renew a marketing and communications contract with 1 80 for the next fiscal year not to exceed $80,000, create a new credit-card clearing account at Bank of Oklahoma to support a purchasing card transition, and authorize the purchase and setup of the SizeUp online tool for small-business resources for an amount not to exceed $13,350.

Why it matters: The consent approvals and vendor renewals keep day-to-day operations and communications work moving for the authority. The purchase of SizeUp adds an interactive tool to the authority’s small-business resources, while the new clearing account enables the organization to transition purchasing-card services with formal signers and controls in place.

What the board approved (roll-call outcomes and key details):
- Consent agenda (motion approved): included minutes from prior meetings; first draw request for Habitat/BBA BoomTown for $45,000; renewal of an annual agreement with Thrive for human-resources services; an agreement with Premier for property-casualty insurance advisory services; renewal of an agreement for Rose Rock Bridge; and a second amendment to the financial-system agreement with Mateo and FCA Tulsa PropCo LLC. (Outcome: approved by roll call.)
- Item 5 — Renewal with 1 80 (marketing/public relations/social media) (Outcome: approved by roll call; amount: not to exceed $80,000). Board discussion about vendor choice and performance preceded the vote.
- Item 6 — Resolution to create a new credit-card clearing account at Bank of Oklahoma to facilitate transferring the purchasing card from Bank of America (Outcome: approved by roll call). Board members asked about and discussed drafting a purchasing-card/expense policy before or concurrent with the transition.
- Item 8 — Agreement with SizeUp to embed online small-business benchmarking and market-data tools on the authority website (Outcome: approved by roll call; motion approved for an amount not to exceed $13,350, including a $3,000 setup fee). Board members discussed analytics, lead capture, language support, and coordination with other local partners.

Board procedure and votes: Each motion was moved, seconded and adopted by roll-call. Individual board members answered “Yes” during the roll-call votes; the transcript records affirmative roll-call responses from board members including Craig Abrahamson, Carl Bracey, Counselor Bingle (recorded in roll calls), Jennifer Griffin, Elian/Eliana Hurtado, Andy McMillan, Mary (Mayor) Nichols, Joan Parkhurst, Ashley Phillipson, and Katie Plahockey (spellings and titles as in the meeting record). The meeting record shows the motions carried as presented.

Next steps: Staff will implement the approved agreements, proceed with the bank-account setup and signer designations, and continue policy work for purchasing-card use and expense documentation as part of personnel and administrative follow-up.","At its June meeting the Tulsa Authority for Economic Opportunity approved a multi-item consent agenda and voted to renew a marketing services contract with 1 80, establish a credit-card clearing account at Bank of Oklahoma, and purchase a SizeUp online business tool.
