Action item B consideration discussion of possible approval for senior softball USA Oklahoma Championship rebate request for 3500.

Okay, so Donna came and asked for a pre-approval for a senior softball tournament.

They've been coming and doing this several years, a lot of years.

They held it June 11th through 14th.

They hosted 32 teams that had 15 players each.

Attendance was roughly 640 that included players, spouses, umpire staff, and generated over 250 uh hotel nights and at least 440 total nights in the Tulsa Metro.

So we had a lot of room nights that weren't in Broken Arrow.

Um and then $3,500 reflects less than what they technically qualify for, but that's what they asked for.

So Donna is on.

Donna, I'll let you kind of tell us about how the event went.

I think we oh there we go.

Okay.

The event went very well.

Um other than we had two or three teams back out because of injuries, so I was hoping for a few more teams.

But uh everybody love I love working with Brad.

He did a great job at the fall park.

Players love ballpark and the community.

Does anybody have any questions?

Is this 3500?

Is this at the at the old rate?

It's not at the new rate.

Yeah, because it was approved.

Has Donna been made aware of the new rate for next year.

So if we can make sure she's aware for next year, um if she does come back next year to ask for money, so she'll know that we have made some adjustments and that um and would this still be to where um where it's something that we want to bring them here to get them started, but it's not something that we do for many many years, or is the hotel stay something we do every we'll do every year?

Yeah, hotels is just strictly based on the room nights or what year they're on.

So Donna, what we're talking about is um we have I'm gonna let Michaela kind of tell you more of the details, but we um starting next year when you come back, we've restructured um the hotel stage just a little.

I mean it's still a great deal, but um yeah, so Donna, in the past it's been for every 12 room nights, it's 500, and now we're we've up updated it to it's every 20 room nights, so that'll make a little bit of a difference um for you, but just to give you a heads up for next year that's and then all of the new applications and everything already reflect that.

It just started with our new fiscal year, which started July 1st.

Okay, but if this is less than what she required, I'll make a motion to uh give her the rebate of $3,500.

Second, yes, Yardi?

Yes, for yes, muscraft, yes, yes, Schneider, yes, Swamp, yes.

Thank you, Donna.

Thank you, appreciate everybody there, and appreciate Broken Arrow.

We're glad you come, you glad you come every year.

Thank you, look forward to coming back.

All right, uh action item C, which I will recuse myself as being a sponsor of the event, consideration, discussion, and possible approval of the 2026 uh Tuesday in the park sponsorship request and the amount not to exceed 5,000.

Jamie, you just want to come right up here and slip um I'll just remind them so um at the February 10th BVA meeting, uh the board approved a rebate for the 2026 Tuesdays in the park series in and out of $5,000.

Um we we received all the required documentation and the combined attendance of the four events was sixty-three hundred.

Um I'm sorry, that was the expected combined attendance was sixty three hundred.

If you guys remember there's four events, um the actual placer total was forty one hundred forty-one seventy, but if you I don't know if everybody knows this, but the last Tuesdays in the park was had to be canceled slash move locations um to oh CJ Malone.

CJ Malone's because of the weather had the ban there, and we were able to get messages out for people.

Yeah, that was the fourth one, not the fifth one.

So they're actually five this year.

Yeah, the four were what we talked about as far as the rebate went went, uh, but they didn't have to move because of weather.

Um but the numbers are really good.

The first three were 1500, 1200, and 1300-ish.

Um, and so I'll let you kind of talk about the rest of the event.

Okay.

Well, thank you for a less intimidating atmosphere.

This is calm and quiet.

Uh we feel very satisfied with what happened, excited about how the changes that we made added to the event.

I know that uh Brian was very instrumental in helping a lot of that happen because the the concept of bringing in having sponsors get more value for what they're doing, so that uh we appreciate this grant because that allowed us to produce this thing, and we're getting to the point where we're going to be able to be sustaining.

But the idea that the sponsorships were able to have their some of their customers or clients attend a VIP area, and I think that went over really well.

We were able to bring in some uh more high-powered presentations of music.

I think that um we're still getting, say, a lot of discounts to make the thing possible.

But this is something that uh going forward, the advertisers, promoters, the sponsors there got a lot of value for what they brought in.

They were able to connect with the crowd.

We made sure that they were all in a position where anyone going to the food trucks were walking by these places.

They were announced, and every one of them that produced something that people wanted to see, which is whether it's small giveaways or a uh an activity or something, they were really impressed by it.

And uh Oklahoma Central Credit Union, our main sponsor has been for several years, continues to be really happy with what they're doing because they're creating that interactive for families, which is what we really want this event to be.

It's not we want everyone to enjoy it, but bring your children.

And with these children's art activities that they would change up each week, people were going to their area regularly, which brought them by the others.

And then that fifth week, of course, we had all our nonprofits there who also saw some traffic that they might not have expected because being an outdoor event, it's unusual.

I think for a lot of them to be able to have that kind of crowd.

I think that helped the other sponsors feel really involved with things too, because having those nonprofits around the fact that we are continuing with a lot of tradition, but just adding things on it.

We haven't taken anything away.

The park is still the same size it is, we're still kind of trapped in the area that we are, but it's a marvelous area.

It's just something that uh I think the sponsors that hadn't done this before were very pleased with what happened.

I know I I didn't do a lot of walking or talking because I had so many other people that were working on this now, so there were a lot more communication with the sponsors by some of the other people there.

But the fact that we have the arts uh at 302 also providing a children's activity each week, working alongside Oklahoma Central Credit Union to make sure that they were things that were compatible.

It just made our sponsors happy.

We want them to come back next year.

We want to add more and find a way to add more.

The changes we made involved so many more of them because the idea was to have themes for the weeks, and that brought specific sponsors each week.

Rather than someone who felt it overwhelming to spend to cover the entire event, they were able to specify, okay, here's the home and garden week, or here's saying unfortunately the pets week was the one that was rained out.

But they were able to come back on that last week, and they're going to be gaining some opportunities in the future.

Because that was going to be such a huge draw that the park just kind of actually brings out the people that pets.

And so we had those special uh purposes there helped those sponsors be able to pay a lesser amount, more affordable for the the local businesses, but still and they were be there for the crowd that were one.

I think our audience those that are going to be coming back are going to be looking more for targeting that.

They're still going to come to all of them.

We just do.

People do because it's it's uh it's something that the community absolutely loves.

Long tradition, this is it's not gonna go away.

It's just going to get maybe a little more valuable to all the sponsors coming in.

Because it's like with everything else, the costs have gone up considerably, and that's what's been challenging, and that's what visit VA has helped us get over this very recent, ramping up in cost.

We're still getting the sound.

You have to have a quality sound system in the park.

And that's why we really couldn't move it to another large venue for everyone to show up for the rain out.

Because indoor outdoors just it's a different setup.

The equipment's available.

And so it that's always an ongoing challenge when our promote our sponsors were very realize.

This is this is where we are.

Sometimes it's not going to work.

But anyone who has a problem with that will work with them.

Fold them into next year, or find another way to help them retain that value that they put in.

And that's I know we work with some people that are promoters or sponsors for that event.

I think that having the special musicians, the professionals that would come in and join these bands, they were impressed with the quality of the event.

I was hearing a lot of that as I would talk to people in the band, and that was something that's it puts again, more broken arrow is on the lab.

We do things just like you're talking about the senior center.

I mean, this is something special that we can do that really sets us apart.

Some of those that I've other seen in a couple of the places like in Colorado where I've seen these outdoor events.

I think that we can easily match the quality of what they can do and just keep on going forward with it.

So this is um it was a very good year.

The collaboration that we had with the city, with our sponsors, and uh obviously with Brian, because he he helped bring a lot of ideas to it, and that's where I love the fact that we're collaborating with people that are involved with the city.

This isn't just something we're scatter shot out there and trying to buy businesses.

We're seeking ideas from people that are right in the thick of things that know where we are and where we want to go and how we want to include broken arrow.

Because this is what it's all about.

We don't we're never expect to make money on this.

We're always, if we can just break even, we'd be happy.

We had a little seed money for the next year, and we can get there at some time, but that's where this is uh it's the history.

It's kind of like rooster days.

It's the history of broken arrow that is something that started with something very small, and now it's it's something that's getting quite big.

And uh I would be uh glad to answer a question on all these notes, but I'm not going to go into all the things.

I think there was a slide presentation, I believe, that was sent in on it and gave some of the details.

And uh, yeah, if you have that, then people can look at things there.

Yeah, there it is.

Yeah, page two probably actually says something.

Oh, no, three.

There we go.

It's where we are, what happened?

The um, and that's where it talks about that uh fourth one having to be canceled, which there's a hard call because it wasn't raining at the time of the concert.

But the concert would have had to start at after nine o'clock because just the time it would take to set up the sound system.

So we were really uh very disappointed it was a hard call that it just had to happen.

And uh a lot of what we're bringing in, the uh things like the food trucks.

Okay, we're talking about people supporting some local community.

A lot of people still bring their picket baskets, we encourage it.

We talk about it being in the Rose District district, which is why staying where we have it in the park rather than going to the events park, is that we would have to have all food trucks out there, and it's this is more about the music.

The food trucks are to support the crowd.

We're hoping that they will maybe go and have a meal in the restaurants, and I know a lot of them do.

So we encourage that, we're right there next to the roast district.

Go and tour the businesses, go to the Rose District, and then come out to the park and listen to some live music and have a good time.

And so this is um really made a much more concerted effort to do things online, uh, marketing, uh, Facebook and other media, the social media.

And I think that obviously because we've only done it very limited before, there's a huge growth in it.

I don't know.

Uh I think that there are a lot of places where we're gonna be able to add more.

But in fact, I know we're looking at hiring someone that'll really focus on that, so that each event we have gets a lot of promotion and connects with more people.

So that's something I'm really looking at there, and the partnerships.

Like look at all of that.

There was people that we haven't had before that come out and be sponsors, are now really pleased with what happened, and um had people while we were there, all this thing was going on.

The business would come by and look at this.

How can I be involved?

How can I do this?

And so, well, okay, well, we've got this year all booked up, but next year, let's see what we can do to get these other people in.

And that's what the kind of reaction we were getting from businesses during the events.

Kind of had fun sitting there at the table with having people come by and ask what they how they can be part of this.

We do still restrict, you know, except for kids, some kids selling lemonade or something.

But the idea of someone walking through and selling things, we want to make it all about music and the art.

This is the arts district that we're talking about this being.

That's what we're trying to focus on.

So it's not going to become a fair where there's sales booths, business presentations, companies presentations, but not sales.

We want them to go into the broken arrow business downtown and do their buying things.

There's plenty of that to be done.

So that's what we're looking at.

We definitely want to keep it free.

It's impossible.

We'd have to fence it off like you do at a rooster's days and have toll booths coming in.

And it's always been free music at the park.

Now it used to be, I made a few people playing guitars and maybe you know, very small, but the the quality of the music is gone, and we're staying local.

We're bringing in, say, professionals who are impressed with what they're seeing because the local bands have a lot of talent.

We're talking about regional, local in that sense.

So I know we're bringing in because of those the connections that these uh musicians are making, are they talking about what's going on and inviting people to kind of review them?

And I know that there's a lot with a lot of play on that with a lot of different people.

Like I say, the the visitor experience, that's a good word for it because that's what we want to do is make it something more valuable.

Knowledge of the companies, but the people that are there.

We want them to come back, we want them to go to the businesses.

We want them to see what's there and expand on it.

So that's uh where I think that we definitely achieved a better, more interesting experience this year, even though it's been really great in the past years.

Again, it's building on, just building on.

So that's where we're we have not had our full recap meeting because we want all of our information in.

And it's not all in place yet as far as all the feedback and everything we've gotten.

But that's uh this is we do see going forward, very little of what we actually did is going away.

We absolutely love all the changes we made.

We may we'll do a lot of refining on some of them because we learned a lot that's just gonna happen when you have new things.

But what we learned was that it's a good idea, and I know that we can make this happen.

We'll find ways maybe to reduce some of the expenses and still keep that experience as full as it is.

Uh I think because of what we were seeing, sponsorships are going to continue.

And that's the relationship out there, the community partnerships.

That's to me all the same thing.

You've got businesses, you've got community, they're all supporting what's going to happen with this.

And uh financially, that's definitely where we have to go is get we have to make that happen.

We have to get those sponsorships.

But you can't ask more of the businesses than what they can afford.

It has to be something that they can do, and the fact that smaller businesses were able to do that this year because of the change of having it just being able to support one week rather than the whole series.

And businesses were finding that their people would wear out by the third concept.

Okay, the same people are there, you're not really getting any more input from the company.

And this changed that completely with new business.

Now, some still want to be there multiple weeks.

That's great if they want to.

And certainly Oklahoma Central, because of the way they handled things, they did not have any drop-off of people interested in what they were doing because they did something different every week.

Almost like a new business every week.

And I'm excited the fact that they do report they want to continue doing that because I'm seeing their uh efforts for marketing all over the city and the the region.

They're they're supporting very heavily financially a lot of different things.

And yet Tuesdays was one of the first things that they jumped into, and I want to stick with it, and they want to grow it.

And that I'm encouraged that that is uh the relationship that we just keep strengthening.

And I think it's they want to be that this focus in broken air.

Of course, they're doing the same thing with the other event, chalk it up too, and probably some other thing.

I don't know what else they're getting their fingers into because they really do expand into the all over the area.

And it has a lot to do with what happened here.

You your investment in us, that grant is something that made the difference this year of us actually coming out.

We hope pretty much even.

We think we are.

We're still looking at a couple of uh income that hasn't quite come through yet to know exactly where we are.

We're still looking at a couple of uh income that hasn't quite come through yet to know exactly where we are, but it's I think uh it's been a very successful year, kind of scary in some ways because we had no idea what all the investment going into what was gonna come out, and we're really happy with how it happened.

We just know that going forward we're gonna have to really hit the ground hard.

And we're already starting.

So any questions?

Anything I can answer for you?

I think just exciting new new things this year.

I'm kind of is there any of that that that you knew about or have ideas of what we might have done differently?

I I think it's definitely a quality of life um event for sure for for our um community.

And I guess we didn't have our new um tracking system like for the zip codes that come to visit us up yet.

Not zip codes, no, we just had total total amount.

But when the suit in the next couple weeks now that we were able to pay them as libraries, we'll be able to go back and look at that.

Oh, okay.

So yeah, because I'd be interested to see how many, because I know there's a lot of people outside our community that also comes and enjoys it, so it'd be nice to see.

I mean, I'd almost think it may be 50-50 white people, you know.

Because I know there's that one couple that's been ever since I've been involved with this, they've been there, and they're from San Springs.

So we wouldn't miss it every week.

Yeah.

Yeah, no, I I love the fact that there are people that they come to see as a place because this is where they want to be every year for every concert.

Yeah.

I just uh it's still not quite as well known as it should be, and that's where I think our coverage now, the more of the social media that you want out there because I think people are even here in Broken Air, as long as it's gone on, as much effort as we've made to put it out there, it's on calendars all over, but people say they've never heard of it.

I go out to a store and talk about what I don't know how to reach everybody.

I don't I don't know that there's any other any way you can.

Well, people are different at different seasons of their lives too, you know what I mean?

So that it may they may not have time on Tuesdays before, and now they're like, oh that's a cool thing.

Yeah, I I I enjoy it.

Um I mean it's a little warm, but it's still nice.

Well, we have one really nice one, and then a couple of warm ones, and that last one was good.

We had a lot of cloud cover and just enough breeze.

That was where you know the city sponsoring the band, the bigger expenses, the band and the sound system of the stage for that last week.

That made a huge difference in us being able to do we would have put something on, but I'm not sure what because there's no way we could have gone to the level of that was.

So do we I noticed that there was a charge of $2,000 for that um stage.

Do we charge it that just for the month or that's the month?

$500 performance.

Uh the actual invoice that came in because of the week that didn't get used, they did not charge us for then the city paid for the stage that differently for the fifth week.

So normally it's $2,000 for our four weeks of the performances.

For those of you that don't remember that never heard, the fifth week, the city as a different entity, not visit BA sponsored the last concert because we kind of asked them to put it on for the 250th celebration of the country.

So that was a whole completely separate thing.

I don't even know what that agreement was or what they I had was not part of that conversation, but that's where the fifth week came in.

So ours was for the four, and then they did something totally different, the city.

We had like 250 seconds of fireworks after that concert.

And that's the challenge of uh this event is that every few years you're going to have a fifth week, and people expect Tuesday concert every Tuesday in June.

And five of them really stretches our budgets.

Yeah.

So this is we learned a lot with that too.

Whether it's uh the city doing it again or we finding someone else who wants to be a major sponsor that fifth week.

Um for the last several years, I have tried really hard to make our last week be focused on a patriotic music because it is always just before the fourth.

It's always been an effort, but we've never really had it quite concerted as much.

Well, in one year I guess I did when I had Starlight band come in and do lots of marches and things, and that was great fun.

Uh the uh the trouble with some of this is our city stage actually isn't big enough to put some of the things that we want to do now that it's things are growing, that becomes tough to get them all on there and and making it all work.

But uh every year we will make the effort to have some kind of patriotic.

But this was a special year, being the 250th.

And uh surprisingly, the fireworks did exceptionally well, even though it wasn't only dark.

They look great.

People were exactly getting pretty good view of it.

I thought it turned out quite well.

We just couldn't get the band to quit playing, so I guess they're waiting for dark.

I'd like to make the motion.

Um served to pay request and amount of $5,000 for Tuesday and second.

Okay.

Oh, he's abstaining.

Okay.

They were accused.

There's a new score.

You're accused if he's abstained, so it's a no vote.

No.

Okay.

Yes.

Yes.

Muskrap.

Yes.

Well, yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Thank you very much.

Yeah.

Okay.

I was looking on here because I know how we're telling everyone that we usually do either money or um things, but it didn't look like we really gave them things.

They just we had that whole discussion when they were here.

Okay.

And we made that decision that it was because when I looked at the contract, it looked like I just want to make sure we got plenty of notice and it looked like that.

Yeah, and we did have a discussion with them about the new rules.

Okay.

Perfect.

Oh morning.

Action item B, consideration discussion of possible approval of a film and hotel incentive rebate in the amount of $18,186.44 cents.

Submitted a um film application back in February.

This was a uh originally um a rebate and then amount not to exceed 24,450.

Um total budget of this film is 1.7 million.

Um their start date was, and I don't know if these were exact if they ended up exact, but in the application it was April 20th, and their wrap date was May 25th.

Um they ended up with 10 shooting days in Broken Arrow, and they hired 30 Broken Air residents um to work on the production.

Um their total um qualified local spend in Broken Arrow was 92,704.

Total hotel room nights was 214.

Um, and so that brings their total qualified rebate to 18,186.44 cents.

So um Adria is here to talk about um the film.

Which one?

If you can oh, new one.

Which one was it?

Oh no, this is um, I don't think there's one for this one.

Oh, okay, okay.

Okay, can you hear us?

Hi, you're up.

Yeah, um, so yeah, it was we had an amazing experience.

We um we filmed for 15 total days in Oklahoma, and like you said, uh 10 of them were in Broken Arrow, and five of them were very close to Broken Arrow.

Um we were uh uh incredibly successful, you know.

We finished the movie, we're in post now.

I actually just watched a cover of the film today.

Um our goals are to premiere at a festival.

Um ideally, you know, we're looking in South by Southwest.

Hopefully, that's where we'll premiere, and then we'd love to come back to Oklahoma for a local film festival to be able to premiere the film there as well.

Um we found the town to be incredibly film friendly.

Uh you know, this was nobody's first time working with a film office uh with a with film production.

Uh the hotels were for the most part incredibly helpful and accommodating.

Um I do have I don't know if you want to see, I do have some stills from the film that I pulled for this.

Do you want me to share those?

Is that helpful?

Sure, that'd be great.

Okay, great.

Let's see.

That were critic.

Yeah, right.

Yes.

Okay.

You see this one?

They're not still, sorry, they're um behind the scenes photos.

So I'm gonna go through them.

This was uh our day at the Broken Arrow Roundup Club where we got to film the rodeo.

Uh let me should a next one.

Another film.

And then sorry, I don't have these on an easier carousel here.

This was on a broken arrow road.

Um when our characters first land in Oklahoma.

And then we filmed at the tasty treat, which we closed down for.

Well, it was already closed, but we came in at night.

They gave us we bought a bunch of milkshakes for the crew.

That was a really fun night.

And then I think I got one more.

And here we go.

And those are our three lead girls.

Um who've been on you know shows like Riverdale and Luke Simon, etc.

etc.

So just a little snippet of what we did, but we'll have a complete, we have a completed film.

We're just in the process of uh editing it, and um, you know, the experience was incredible.

I would I know any of us would love to um offer up any quotes that might be helpful to bring people there.

Uh we had a great time and you know, had only positive things to say.

So thank you.

You know, we're having a film festival here on Broken Arrow in the fall.

I know.

Okay.

On our it's on our our um festival list.

Okay.

Awesome.

There we have questions.

Um if there's no questions, I would like to make a motion to uh reimburse the 18,1864.

B.

Yes.

Yes.

Muskrat, yes.

Yes.

Yes, lots of yes.

Thank you.

We'll be going to tell you.

Thank you so much.

Yes, have a good one.

I'll action item E, consideration, discussion, and possible Google film incentive rebate and the amount of and not to exceed 55,000.

Okay, so this will be our first.

If hopefully you all know that our film incentive was reintroduced this year, so starting July 1st, we have a fresh batch of dollars.

Um, and so Cassidy, you have all seen her before.

She's back.

Um that's a good that's a good sign for us.

It means she had a great time last time.

Sure did.

So I'll let you kind of talk about um this new project you're working on.

Awesome.

Well, uh okay.

The first one is A Body in the Woods, yes.

Thank you.

Okay.

Uh, I made the slide so dark.

What's going on?

It's a horror thriller, so it's supposed to be dark.

Okay, so um, I'm back with a new one.

I'm very excited.

Thanks for uh pulling me this way because uh we we've definitely always enjoyed this.

It's film is very difficult in general, and um independents are very difficult, but they do drop, you know, as you know, like a decent amount of money in a short amount of time, so we really appreciate you know trying to pull business over here because if not, you know, it you're you're usually in either main the the two larger cities, so we're happy to spread the wealth around, which is always nice.

So Abide in the Woods is a uh film.

You can go to the next slide.

Uh A Body in the Woods is a supernatural horror thriller.

It's about it's set in 1910, and I I won't say my lead cast yet, but it's very exciting.

Nice, great big names, so we're really excited about the uh the our lead.

It's mainly just one person almost the entire time.

It's kind of a cabin in the woods.

Um, like I said, set in 1910, and um our distribution is secured, so we have a we have distribution, it will be released after the fact.

I just don't have a date yet.

Um and um you can go to probably oh wait, actually go back to that.

Yeah, okay.

So um Alice, who I will say later, maybe at the next meeting who that cast is.

Uh she is alone in her home when her family's mine uh, you know, has a has an accident and she has to attend to a deadline worker while her husband goes to go let their family know, and then the corpse begins to move.

So uh that's that's you know, the supernatural terror that she can't explain.

So that's our fun.

We're basically in one spot most of the show, but um we are trying to uh we're looking for two different locations, kind of like a ballroom and a and a saloon, which thank you for sending me that location.

Um to to be at um for some of the other times.

So this is really fun.

Uh you can flip to the next slide.

Um the next obviously two films that I'm presenting, are a little bit smaller than the last one I did last year.

Um are anticipated spends about 500,000 uh for this film.

We are shooting uh September 14th through October 9th.

Um so 20 days.

Um I anticipate about 300 uh room nights and 10 to 20 broken arrow hires and two to five days within broken arrow.

More or sometimes a little less, but who was more on the last one?

So that was good.

Okay, one more slide.

Yeah, I think that's it.

Wait, yeah.

Did I forget a slide?

No, I didn't.

Okay, so the ones that we're offering, we're gonna try and look for production office here this time.

And we're obviously using utilizing the hotel incentive.

And then we're building this cabin, so my goal is to find a really solid good lumber yard to get all of our construction materials out of broken arrow, making a really conscious effort to do the majority of our spending in broken arrow.

So hopefully, hopefully it'll be more than 500,000.

So we're very excited.

Should I just oh wait, I'm not gonna go into the next one.

But um uh I would normally probably announce uh, but you know, it because it's be only because it's public, I'll wait.

Uh but I I'm excited to to do this again, and and I'm really appreciative that you guys have this incentive in the first place.

So I think it's doing amazing things.

I'm happy to be a repeat customer all the time, as long as you haven't played money.

So the last movie and then this movie are there gonna has there been any talk about uh the amount of movie theaters or is there gonna be the theatrical release?

Oh, for the um for the last movie or this one?

Both for the last movie, uh February 2027, and I don't have an exact um I I'll you know what I'll send Michaela the exact I don't know exactly how many screens, but it is gonna be uh in theaters.

So that one will be in theaters.

I just don't know him.

Live like that.

Yeah, it's still it's still tied.

Sometimes they change the title, but it's still called Live Like That.

So that one was the Sonya firm one.

The plan for this one is also to be in theaters.

Yeah, yeah.

So um this one does already also have a distributor attached, so they plan on doing a this one's probably a smaller release because the other one was Sony.

So this one's probably a smaller release, but it's still probably anticipating release, especially if it turns out really well.

So yeah.

So the okay, it does say 55.

I was looking at the next one, said 35,000.

Um, so I will make a motion to um approve the film incentive rebate in amount not to exceed 55,000 uh for a body in the woods film incentive.

Second yes.

Yes.

Four?

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Thank you.

Very excited.

The next one.

Um the next one.

Yeah, action item F, consideration discussion and possible approval of the film incentive rebate and the amount not to exceed 35,500.

Awesome.

This one's a fun one.

So the last one was a horror.

This one is a romantic comedy.

Um this one's really uh it's fun because it's uh I would call it a Jewish romantic comedy.

Um our director is Jewish, and I would say I would almost pull it from I guess maybe his own experiences.

I'm hoping maybe he just moves here and finds a nice Jewish girl here.

We have a lovely Jewish community.

Um but uh Mazel Tough is about his kind of relationships in his you know early 30s trying to get through, he's seeing all his friends getting married, and he's the only one who hasn't found the right girl yet.

So it's kind of you know sits with that.

You can go to the next slide actually.

Um so he's just waiting for someone he can quote unquote sweep off their feet, as the slide says.

Um he didn't attach the the cast list, but I think there's gonna be an announcement and deadline the next next week.

So then I can announce yeah uh who the cast is for this one too.

And um a lot of local cast on this one, which is really exciting.

So hopefully somebody's from Broken Arrow in our cast, which would be cool.

Um next slide.

Uh it's very similar.

This is a this is uh a little bit smaller of budget than the one I just mentioned.

Um 1015 local residents is the estimated with 365 local spend and 200 max room nights.

Um so this one would be shooting 15 days, the last week was shooting 20 days, this would shoot 50 days, and because I'm producing both of them, uh I'm just gonna put them right back to back.

So we're just gonna pick up where we left off on 10-9 and start shooting on 1012.

I will be very busy.

And uh hopefully we'll find some really great locations here.

I think we've even found some really we did some pre-scouting um at say a month or so ago, and we found some really cool revenue arrow locations we're really enjoying.

A lot of like restaurants and stuff like that, which will get a lot of play.

So it's a lot of the you know, dating set now.

Um that's it.

Yeah, oh yeah, so that we're we're looking for all the front production office.

Uh kind of the same as the other one because I'll probably just roll a lot of the same crew.

Hopefully, hopefully from the first one to this next one.

So that's the idea.

So, do you all help her with that too?

Finding an office and all the things.

Yeah, yeah, we're we've got some ideas for you.

But pretty much if they ask, we'll share what we can, what we know.

Okay, yeah.

Also, uh, just as a throwing that out there, also crew.

I would let like I know that we have it was kind of a discovery last time of like who lived in broken arrow.

Yeah, you know, because I was gonna be like, who lives in Broken Arrow?

You know what I mean?

To like all the crew, like you're only hired in a broken arrow.

But if that ever comes up, that would be also we I would love that, you know.

Um we're hoping to build, we've got the access to Real Scout, which is what the state uses.

We're hoping to kind of build that's gonna be awesome directory because we heard that too.

It's nice to see who and what what is broken arrow, what's not, etc.

So yeah, that was.

I was surprised that the last when we visited that um the one film that was being shot that there were so many broken arrow people that actually make up artists and all the things, you know.

They lived in broken arrow, but they traveled everywhere.

Yeah, yeah.

I was like, wow, it's pretty cool.

Yeah, a lot of talent in our city.

Please read more, please travel work.

Yeah, I know they they love that.

Yeah, I was just asking my production coordinator to look at all the people that we hired last time, check and see the broken arrow and make some of those offers first for crew so that we can maximize it.

So cool.

I'll make a motion um to approve the film and cinematic, not to exceed the amount of 35,500 for um to film.

I'll second the yes, you already four, yes, buscraft, yes, yes, yes, yes.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Very excited to be back here.

Very excited to work with everybody with action item five board members' opportunity to address uh there's a broken arrow on general topics related to city business or services.

Um I just want to say what a good job you all did.

Uh you all, whoever did uh New Orleans Square, um it was a great event.

I know Chris I have a lot to do with that too, and she's not here either right now, but um it was a great great event.

I was I thought they were gonna have to shut it down Thursday or Friday night, but didn't have to.

But it was great.

You do a great job with the talent and a lot of activities, and it's great time.

Great time for our community for sure.

We were hoping to have the numbers, but we don't have them back yet as of right now.

So I can share that with you guys go back.

And do we have the numbers back from Easter days yet?

Because you know, when she presented and the chamber presented, she didn't have the numbers yet, but it's been a while.

Yes.

Could you ask about that?

Yeah, I just don't want it to be lost because I'd like to know that.

Yes.

Thank you.

All right.

Uh action item six tourism director report.

Yes, so this is kind of a lane report.

This one, but um, I'm in the middle of just kind of finalizing the fiscal year 26 number, so I'll just share that kind of where we ended up at the next meeting once though those are all pulled together, and then also go over.

I know I was providing like how much has been encumbered so far.

We've already promised some dollars for rebates on events that are coming up, like the golf tournament coming up and the Christian interpreters conference that just happened last week.

That was technically in this new fiscal year, so I'll get get you guys all updated on that for the next meeting.

Um, and then the same with the hotel motel tax collections.

The person that shares that information with me is retiring or has retired, so I didn't I don't have them yet.

Um but we'll be able to share that, and hopefully again for the it'll be the full fiscal year 26 numbers at our next meeting.

Um I will say that I was happy with the at the very bottom of the occupancy rate for May was up quite a bit.

It was 64.7%, which is pretty good for us.

That's probably the highest I've seen.

Um average daily rate was up quite a bit over last year, and so um was the Rev car number.

So those are really May was impressive numbers, and that's the most recent numbers I have is May.

That's always a month behind.

Um that should say general tourism activity for June, but um, I'm sure you all have heard that Regent Bank is the new name of the amphitheater, so Regent Bank Amphitheater announcement.

That was a big deal for us.

Um we have our Sparkloft, which is our new marketing company that's on the agenda for tonight at the council meeting, so that'll be approved, and then we can get started on that, which we're which we've been anxiously awaiting for, uh waiting on numbers for block party.

Um I uh spoke on a panel um at the Metro Tulsa Hotel and Lodging Association last at their last luncheon, and that was turned out really good.

I thought um it was about the suburbs, and so we had a good discussion.

Um the Christian interpreters conference was last week.

They had a it was big.

How many bags did we provide?

400 something?

Yeah, it's four or five hundred four or five hundred.

It was a big event.

Um, I don't know if you saw anybody from that.

I know they couldn't have all stayed at Sony, but yeah, um, it was big.

So we're waiting to kind of get a a recap on that, but we gave them a lot of swag.

So um that was a big one.

And then um right now going on is a conference, it's called APO, which is Association Professionals of Oklahoma.

We sponsored them last year.

Um, it's basically all of the associations come together.

Um, and we like advertising in front of them because we want them to come have their events in our city.

So we have a table up there, and we were also the tote bag sponsor this year, it's at Hard Rock.

Um Aaron and I are getting ready to go to Portland next week for destinations international.

It's like one of our annual conferences we go to, it's a tourism marketing conference.

Uh the American Junior Golf Association event is August 3rd through 6th, and then Aaron and I also have the Esto conference um in Philadelphia, um, which is the other tourism conference we go to every year, and I'm gonna be a panelist on that talking about um strategic planning.

So that's kind of the update for the month.

Do you think our numbers were high in May because the film industry were there?

Um there was a really big uh basketball tournament that was in town that really drove up rates.

And it occurred with other events going on.

Yes, it was the next pro the Rooster Days weekend, yeah, Rooster Days weekend, next pro the um oh the motorcycle rally downtown.

That was the same.

It's also baseball, yeah.

And softball that same weekend, yeah.

That weekend there was no hotels anywhere within probably to Oklahoma City.

We had people calling it because there were so many events all in a row.

So I think that was there's also a soccer tournament, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, broken arrow.

So but they've moved broken arrow soccer's moved their dates for next year, so we'll hopefully outfall on that one.

But it was kind of a perfect storm type of idea.

Yeah.

Do you know who put the basketball tournament?

I can get that for you.

Um I don't know if my head, huh?

Wasn't it at NCAA?

It yeah, and I uh no, it wasn't college, it was youth.

Um yeah, I can get that for you.

I don't know, right off the top of my head.

But um, yeah, they have a planner for it, and and it was Tulsa wide as well.

Not just broken arrow.

Yeah.

So well, also you all may not know about this because we didn't ask for any money, but um Oklahoma Municipal League hosted a hundred um elected officials and municipal leaders here in Oklahoma and Stony Creek.

Um some may have stayed with you as well.

Um it was the last week in June.

Um, Monday through Wednesday, and then Wednesday through Friday, the National League of Cities.

Uh, we hosted elected officials, most of them were less elected officials from across the nation, um, about a hundred as well.

Um, and like I said, you may not know them because we didn't ask for money.

I was able to get enough sponsors.

So we do have stuff going on in our city that we don't people don't come here and ask for money.

Um and it didn't cost the city any money either.

So um anyway, there was a lot of things going on, but I do appreciate you all helping out with that too on some stuff in our swag bags.

Yeah, our small contribution to that was we were trying to be creative, and so there was a lot of broken arrow city employees that went.

So we provided, I think 15 we provided several gift cards to restaurants, but we were like, give these to only people that don't live in broken arrow.

Yeah, so they have to come outside money, not eligible together.

Yeah, so it was kind of strategic on our part, but yeah, yeah, we did give some gift cards for that, but it was great event.

Yeah.

All right.

Yes, Marty?

Yes, or yes, Mascarat?

Yes, Bob?

Yes.

Yes.
