Brewer disclosed changes to the ExecuKve Board. Green resigned from the board due to accepKng a posiKon at Visit OKC, and as a result, Allison has taken on the role of Vice President, while Prince has assumed the posiKon of Treasurer. Allison moKoned to accept Green’s resignaKon; Hawes seconded. The moKon passed unanimously. Hawes moKoned to accept the new ExecuKve Board members; Howard seconded. The moKon passed unanimously. Brewer then moved on to review the minutes. Armstrong moKoned to accept the minutes; McKinney seconded. The moKon passed unanimously. Schemm presented the June financial report, highlighKng several key points. He noted the year- end status and menKoned that $50K in accounts receivable had been paid by the city. He also discussed the Thunderbird study plan and the overpayment made to DesKnaKons InternaKonal. Schemm explained that the fiscal year’s revenue had increased to $600K, primarily due to the guest tax, and that total revenue exceeded the budget by $190K due to various studies, which were covered using reserves. Moving on to the July financials, Schemm reported that the fiscal year revenue was already up by $225K, again due to the guest tax. Stewart moKoned to accept the financials; Gillis seconded. The moKon passed unanimously. Schemm provided an update on the Entertainment District. He clarified misinformaKon regarding the $600 million cost. The cap number is $600 million which represents the maximum amount that could ever be used. Previous TIFFs have all paid off in half the Kme, so that number is very conservaKve; addiKonally; the city sales tax porKon is only 27%. That sales tax would also be matched dollar-for-dollar by the State Leverage Act funds, helping to pay the TIFF off sooner. Schemm emphasized the importance of the upcoming public hearing scheduled for September 3rd, encouraging supporters to a6end due to expected opposiKon. He noted that the final reading on the ordinance is scheduled for September 17, aier which the council will vote. Schemm explained the referendum process, staKng that ciKzens would have 30 days to start a peKKon aier the ordinance is adopted. During the discussion, Stewart asked what other uses the Entertainment District might have besides those related to OU. Schemm responded that a third-party operator would most likely manage the arena and book it any Kme it is available. Schemm informed the board that Stefanie Brickman has resigned and that the search for a new candidate is underway. He also discussed the Crimson Friday Concert Series and the need for sponsorship funding. Regarding the Liberty Point RV Park, Schemm menKoned the ongoing search for investors and noted that delays due to federal regulaKons and increased project costs mean that the park will not be completed in Kme for the next football season. He also discussed the potenKal for implemenKng a guest tax on RVs. Finally, Schemm provided an update on the mountain bike trail designer, indicaKng that county funding has been secured and that a meeKng with Congressman Tom Cole is scheduled. Schemm began the ZarKco presentaKon, focusing on increased lodging staKsKcs. He focused on lodging pacing from the past 12 months to next six months, noKng we are already seeing increases for the next six months over the past 12 and that is informaKon pulled from credit card data, meaning rooms that have already been booked. Stevens added that nonstop flights from Missouri and Alabama to Will Rogers Airport have been arranged for upcoming games and Schemm conKnued the ZarKco presentaKon. Bates surprised the group with the announcement of a $20,000 contribuKon from HeyDay for Crimson Friday Concerts. Schemm and the Board thanked Bates. Stevens provided the sales report, including updates on the Liberty Park meeKng and efforts to add room nights over FY24 levels. Brown gave an update on sports, reporKng that over 20,000 room nights were achieved last year, exceeding expectaKons, and noted a focus on owned events moving forward. Smith provided the MarCom update, sharing social media analyKcs and details on notable projects. MeeKng adjourned at 1:00 PM. Howard moved; Hawes seconded. MoKon carried unanimously.
