IV. Items for Individual Consideration
A. Extension of Sublease and Management Agreement among The City of Oklahoma City, the Oklahoma City Zoo-
logical Trust, and 3Horse Productions, LLC and amendment of Oklahoma City Zoo Amphitheatre Approved Pol-
icies and Procedures.
Since the Pandemic started several concerts were canceled and rescheduled to this year and next on top of the
already scheduled line-up. This amendment allows 3Horse to hold more concerts. The extension of the agreement
to later this year also allows us time to consider our next step in the operations for the Zoo Amphitheatre and if we
need to take a pause to make updates or move forward with an RFP. One Trustee asked how we can prioritize a
more diverse line-up to truly reflect the community? The extension of the 3Horse agreement could give the time to
reflect on how to pursue this was the reply.
MOVED. Moved by Trustee Vicki Howard. Seconded by Trustee Pama Palmer.
AYES: Trustees Keith Peters, Vicki Howard, Heather Ross, Laura Johnson, Nikki Nice, Pama Palmer.

great, group volunteer numbers are high.
D. Marketing-March attendance was over projection and general admission is stronger than membership numbers. We
are working with DHS to put together program discount. Our Fall attendance numbers were strong, numbers fell
a bit January and February, then back on target in April. Recently we have shifted some of our marketing to Texas
to take advantage of high amount of website traffic coming from the Dallas area.
E. Zoo Happenings- Animal encounters numbers are up and birthday numbers are strong. We recently renewed part-
nerships with OBI. We have an ASL interpreter coming to the Zoo every third Saturday of every month.
F. OZS Update-March membership numbers ahead, out of membership levels the family is the strong. Currently half
of memberships are new. We launched a Bricklive promotion. Development updates- We received a little over
$100,000 from the Kirkpatrick Foundation, $35,000 from Devon, and $25,000 from Work Express Employment.
Over $90,000 out in Grant requests. We recently expanded our Zoo Troup and now we have over 100 members!
