Chickasha council adopts tax-increment ordinance and companion resolution to create Increment District No. 3

The Chickasha City Council on the evening in question approved Ordinance 20 26-05, authorizing use of apportioned tax increments under Article 10, Section 6(c) of the Oklahoma Constitution and provisions identified in the transcript as the "Local Development Act (62 O.S. 850)." The ordinance adopts an airport/industrial economic development project plan, designates increment-district and project-area boundaries, and authorizes the city to use apportioned tax increments to reimburse project costs or to issue bonds or notes if feasible.

Councilmember motioned to approve the ordinance, a second was recorded, and the council conducted a roll call. Hatchett, Irving, Guinn (recorded as Ginn/Guinn in the transcript), Hebblethwaite (variously transcribed), Smith, Alexander, Southern and Grayson voted yes; Burrows recorded a no vote. The motion carried 8–1.

Immediately after, the council considered Resolution 2026-3R to create and name Increment District No. 3, ratify Ordinance 20 26-05 and set a commitment date for the district. Following a motion and second, the resolution passed by the same recorded margin, 8–1, with Burrows voting no.

The action enables the city to proceed with the increment-district framework the ordinance and resolution describe; the text as read references state constitutional authority (Article 10, Section 6(c)) and the Local Development Act as the implementing statute (transcript phrasing: "local development act 62 o s 8 50"). The ordinance and resolution also reserve limited authority for the city to make minor amendments to the project plan and establish apportionment and allocation procedures for tax increments.

The record does not specify next administrative steps, project timelines, or the precise boundary map language beyond what was read into the record. The transcript shows the ordinance and resolution were presented and adopted during the same meeting.
