For the purpose of transforming our entrepreneurial ecosystem to create jobs and foster a more diverse economy, it is the intent of the Council to pursue several projects at the Innovation District in near northeast Oklahoma City.

According to Cathy O'Conner "It is a large commercial investment ... the largest we've had to date in the Innovation District. It will help jump-start the whole research development ecosystem in Oklahoma City."  O'Conner also stated that the trust has money to provide the $13.75 million up front to ensure Beffort and Tanenbaum's BT Development qualifies for $33 million in new markets tax credits.

                   Oklahoma City Council approves transfer of $80 Million to MAPS 4 Investment and Operating Trust
                   Funds will provide for long-term operations and maintenance
                   Post Date:03/01/2022 3:30 PM

                  The Oklahoma City Council on Tuesday voted to approve a transfer of $80 million from Oklahoma City MAPS 4
                  sales tax collections to the administration of the MAPS 4 Investment and Operating Trust.  

                 These funds will be invested and managed to provide a steady funding stream for the operations and
                 maintenance of some MAPS 4 projects long after the temporary MAPS 4 sales tax collection has concluded.

                 In December 2019, voters approved MAPS 4 with 72 percent of the vote. This fourth iteration of the MAPS
                 program included for the first time this innovative new wrinkle, and in total, $110.5 million in MAPS 4 funds are set
                 aside for this purpose.  

                 The management of the funds is being overseen by the MAPS 4 Investment and Operating Trust.  

                 A conservative spending policy is provided for and will ensure that the distributions are consistent year-to-year
                 and do not diminish the original funds.

                 "MAPS 4 was designed to not only build up our city with capital projects but also to sustain those projects for the
                 long-term," said Oklahoma City Mayor David Holt. "With the first transfer of funds to the MAPS 4 Investment and
                 Operating Trust, today marks a notable development in the MAPS 4 program. I'm very proud of this fiscally prudent
                 approach that I think will become a national model, and I know future policymakers in our city will appreciate it deeply.  
                 I'm grateful to City staff and members of the Trust for their input and oversight throughout this process."

                 Tuesday's transfer is the first, as scheduled by the MAPS 4 Implementation Plan previously adopted by Council.  The
                 remaining funds are scheduled to be transferred at a later date.  The eventual investment proceeds from the $80 million
                 transferred Tuesday will support MAPS 4 projects as identified below:

               
                      $21 million for the operations of the Henrietta B. Foster Center for northeast small business development and
                      entrepreneurship and an innovation hall to facilitate activities to grow the City's innovation economy.

                      $15 million to provide financial assistance for low-income seniors using the MAPS 3 and MAPS 4 Senior Health
                      and Wellness Centers.

                      $5 million for the operations and maintenance of MAPS 4 Beautification projects. The operating fund will
                      provide permanent City staff dedicated to beautification. The maintenance fund will provide ongoing maintenance
                      as funds allow.

                      $9 million for the operations of the MAPS 4 Clara Luper Civil Rights Center. The MAPS 4 Civil Rights Center is
                      anticipated to be an interpretive museum and community gathering space.

                      $30 million for the operations of the MAPS 4 Youth Center..

                 "Continuing to invest in MAPS programs keeps our city moving forward," MAPS 4 Investment and Operating Trust Chair
                 Teresa Rose said. "These funds will not only help support day-to-day operations for these MAPS 4 projects, but also
                 ensure the long-term success of the initial investment by providing crucial support for maintenance and beautification
                 initiatives."

                 The MAPS 4 Citizens Advisory Board recommended approval for transferring sales tax collection funds on February 9, 2022.
                 The 2019 MAPS 4 Resolution states the intent of the Oklahoma City Council to allocate MAPS 4 sales tax collections to a
                 fund to provide for the operations and maintenance of several MAPS 4 projects.

                 MAPS 4 uses cash to fund 16 debt-free, pay-as-you-go projects. You can view the MAPS 4 Implementation Plan, MAPS
                 4 Program Schedule, and projects at okc.gov/maps4.

           About MAPS 4

                 MAPS 4 is a debt-free public improvement program funded by a temporary penny sales tax that will raise a projected $978
                 million over eight years.

            Oklahoma City voters approved the sales tax to fund MAPS 4 in a special election on Dec. 10, 2019, moving forward with a unique
            and ambitious plan to transform our community. The temporary penny sales tax funding MAPS 4 began April 1, 2020, and ends
            in 2028.

            More than 70 percent of MAPS 4 funding is dedicated to neighborhood and human needs. The rest is for quality of life and
            job-creating initiatives. The MAPS 4 Citizens Advisory Board and its six subcommittees will guide MAPS 4 planning and implemen-
            tation, making recommendations to the City Council. The Council has final authority on MAPS 4.  

            The MAPS Investment and Operating Trust will develop a strategic investment plan to support long-term sustainable funding for
            MAPS 4 projects' operational expenses and maintenance.

                   Oklahoma City Innovation District/Innovation Hall & Hotel.

                        MAPS 4 would create Innovation Hall, a structure that would serve as the district's epicenter with eating places, meeting rooms
                        and public spaces that foster social interaction. Other MAPS 4 projects would make improvements to the NE 10th Street bridge
                        spanning Interstate 235 to allow for pedestrian traffic and link the area with downtown Oklahoma City.

                        The plan would also provide for the renovation of Washington Park at 400 N. High Ave., as well as the renovation of the Henrietta
                        B. Foster Center to create a minority entrepreneurship center.

                        hosting 200 events annually. For the past three years, these events have produced over $325 million annually in direct spending
                        into the Oklahoma City economy. For that same time period, our attendance has averaged more than 2.15 million visitors annually.

                        Surveys have shown that of the visitors to the OKC Fairgrounds, 53% are our neighbors from right here in the Oklahoma City
                        community and 47% are out-of-town guests. In all, over 170,000 hotel room nights are generated annually from events at the    
                        OKC Fairgrounds.--Velocity,

"The MAPS 3 Convention Center is a historic project for Oklahoma City," said MAPS Program Manager David Todd. "Looking back, what I'm most proud of was the focused coordination each team exhibited to get the job done. During construction, four other massive projects were built adjacent to the site including the OKC Streetcar, Scissortail Park, Omni Hotel and Oklahoma City Boulevard. As a result, we've transformed our downtown and created a gathering place for residents and visitors to enjoy for generations to come."
