Trust approves Myriad Gardens change order and MAPS disbursement; general manager presents report
Summary
The Oklahoma City Economic Development Trust approved a $63,835.60 change order for Myriad Gardens' chilled water installation and approved a MAPS Investment Trust disbursement to support pre‑operations at the Claral Looper Civil Rights Center; the general manager presented figures with no items singled out for discussion.
The Oklahoma City Economic Development Trust on March 24 approved several non‑development allocations and administrative items, including a change order for Myriad Gardens' chilled‑water connection and a MAPS trust operating disbursement to the Freedom Center of OKC LLC.
Mr. Zoodle explained that change order #1 for the Myriad Gardens chilled water installation increases the contract by $63,835.60 to accommodate upsized piping and additional pipe work. He told trustees that no additional days were requested and that the change order is within the existing project budget. Staff indicated the work is expected to be completed "before it gets hot"—the presenter described a goal of finishing ahead of summer. The Trust voted to approve the change order.
The Trust also approved a disbursement from the MAPS Investment Trust to the Freedom Center of OKC LLC to support pre‑operations and staffing for the Claral Looper Civil Rights Center. Mr. Sudel described the Trust's role as a passthrough for MAPS operating funds and said Christina Batty was present to answer questions about use of the funds. The amount stated in the transcript is recorded as "$387,84" (garbled); the Trust approved the item and the transcript indicates the funds are intended to support startup operations and staffing under an existing agreement between the MAPS trust and the economic development trust.
During the general manager report, Miss King offered to answer questions on report figures but did not single out any item for discussion. The meeting closed after staff, trustees and citizens were asked for comments and none were recorded on the transcript.
