Good afternoon,

I have a space that is for rent downtown that we have had two restaurants
wanting to lease the space. One has fallen through and the other is getting
ready to if we cannot figure out a cost solution. The building does not
currently have a kitchen and is not sprinkled. Has anyone found any type of
aide for projects like this?

Thank you,

Our City is doing a fire suppression program and for the restaurant equipment there is an Economic Development program.  It's on a case by case as to what they will do.  I know that isn't much information but they don't give us much other than send them to the City to discuss their needs.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I'm sure many Directors have had disputes or conflicts with Board members
that are not following correct protocols or 'taking care of business'.
Does anyone have a really good policy or 'whistleblower' process they are
willing to share and is it required to be confidential?  Our by-laws apply
but are vague.

Good afternoon, everyone. Below is some information on the Arts Council grant opportunities for 2027; it will be here before you know it.

The Oklahoma Arts Council is investing more than $3.2 million in communities and schools across Oklahoma through its Fiscal Year 2027 grants, strengthening the arts as a vital part of a thriving state. These grants will support festivals, performances, exhibitions, youth art camps, community theater, creative aging, programs for veterans and military families, and arts education—bringing creativity, connection, wellness, and opportunity to Oklahomans of all ages. This investment is more than funding; it is an investment in people, communities, and the future of Oklahoma. The arts create jobs, inspire creativity, strengthen quality of life, and help communities become places where people want to live, work, visit, and grow. When we invest in the arts, we invest in the heart, identity, and future of Oklahoma.

Eligibility Verification
Before applying for a grant, organizations must complete an Eligibility Verification Request through the Oklahoma Arts Council grant portal<https://okarts.fluxx.io/>.
If you have questions, the Arts Council contacts are below.

NEWS RELEASE

For Immediate Release

 
Oklahoma Arts Council Announces Fiscal Year 2027 Grants Investment for Arts Programs Across the State

OKLAHOMA CITY (August 12, 2026) – The Oklahoma Arts Council has announced the approval of its fiscal year 2027 grants budget for arts and arts education programs across Oklahoma. In June, the Governor-appointed members of the official state arts agency and leader for the arts approved an investment of up to $3,200,237 for grants to be awarded through June 30, 2027.

Representing a direct investment in communities and schools across Oklahoma through various grant programs, the amount is a significant portion of the agency’s overall budget. Nonprofit organizations, schools, local governments, libraries, tribal nations, and other organizations leverage the funding to give Oklahomans access to the benefits of attending, participating, and learning through the arts.

Oklahoma Arts Council Executive Director Amber Sharples commented on what the funding for the sector means for Oklahomans.

“The return on our grant investments is undeniable,” said Sharples. “We are putting people to work, preparing creative thinkers to enter and lead the workforce, delivering proven benefits on health and wellbeing, and fueling vibrancy and quality of life in communities large and small. Through the Oklahoma Arts Council’s investment of these grants as the state arts agency and leader for the arts, we are ensuring the arts remain a dependable cornerstone for a thriving Oklahoma.”

A wide range of activities will be supported by the funding including festivals in rural communities, live dance and music performances, visual art exhibitions, summer art camps for youth, workshops for adults, community theatre, and more.

Annual funding totaling $2,083,225 was awarded to 84 nonprofit organizations whose arts programs have broad reach in their region or across the state.

Additional grants were awarded through special grant programs designed to leverage the arts to meet priority needs, including 13 grants totaling $165,000 awarded for creative aging programs addressing health and wellness needs of older adults through the arts. Nine grants totaling $92,980 awarded to nonprofit arts organizations to support their partnerships with alternative education school sites, allowing them to leverage their expertise and resources in the arts to serve students who are at a higher risk of not completing high school. Fifteen grants totaling $67,602 awarded organizations through the agency’s Arts and the Military Initiative to serve veterans and military families. And, a $20,000 grant was awarded to Oklahoma A+ Schools to manage the statewide Oklahoma Poetry Out Loud program.

Funding is available year-round from the Oklahoma Arts Council through other grant programs<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://t.e2ma.net/click/tnlnmn/tbop40ae/9jpcbfb__;!!NZFi6Pppv9YRQw!uIU22st_NBsdSXUQjZ2sJQqLgJ3byZ81ihzQsLX6yChuPYzg-YJ9PXgOUepHD94KskihB4A_-ywi0Tcf87-MljoARszHzjyayaAqz24IETM$>, with varying deadlines.

Happy Friday, Main Street!
As I mentioned on Tuesday's call, I would appreciate knowing if you plan to submit an MSIP project this year. The application period opens September 1.
This information will be very helpful as Jon Chiappe prepares to address the Oklahoma Finance Authority Board next month. Please send the information to me or Karla by August 19.
All we need at this point is:

  *   Brief project description - One sentence is fine.
  *   Amount you plan to request
Please keep in mind that you are not committed to the project or amount at this point. You can make changes as you develop your application. We simply want to give Jon and the Board an idea of what to expect.
Thank you, and have a great weekend,

Hello Buffy and Karla,

Good afternoon and a Happy Friday to you ladies.

I write to advise you that the SOBO District intends to submit a Main
Street Incentive Program (MSIP) Project for this year in September.

We would like to maximize the Network Level amount of $50,000.00 if we can
secure the two matches from the Employer State Payroll Tax and the Cash
Match.

Projects that the SOBO may look to do are:

- SOBO District neighborhood round signs with directional wayfinding blades
attached.
- Wrapping of the SOBO Districts 6 x Traffic Cabinet Control Boxes.  The
location map of these boxes was provided to SOBO by Sam Extance.
- Work with Up With Trees on developing a long-term Tree Streetscape plan
for the SoBo District.  Identify locations where the street trees are in
decline and should be replaced.  Identify locations where to plant new
trees that would have most benefit for the SoBo Districts residents,
visitors, businesses and property owners.

The funding requests for these projects will largely be guided by the
information that we receive from Sam Extance.  I will be able to give you a
better indication of these project amounts in the coming weeks.

Please let me know if you have any questions or require anything further
from me at this time.

Kindest regards,
Tania

Good morning Buffy,

Woodward is planning on requesting $180,000. $90,000 from the MSIP and
$90,000 for our matching funds through our county. We are planning on
putting in a sound system as well as putting planters along Main Street to
provide some greenery downtown.

Good afternoon, everyone!

The Quality Assurance community view on the Main Street portal has been down since July 1.  We have made our IT department aware of this but we currently have no one to fix this problem as they are waiting to hear back from the third party vendor that constructed it.

We apologize for the inconvenience and we are hoping to have it fixed sooner rather than later.

Hello Buffy,
My name is Sarah Rhodes, and I’m the new Director for Okmulgee Main Street. I wanted to introduce myself! I had the opportunity to meet with Tamara last week, and I’m currently getting caught up to speed on several of our Main Street projects and programs. I’m new to all of this, but I’m eager to learn!
I did have a question regarding the upcoming MSIP application period.
My understanding is that Okmulgee Main Street previously received MSIP funding for an archway project that is currently still in progress and is expected to be completed by the end of this year.
Our board is interested in potentially applying for MSIP funding for another project this upcoming cycle. Are we eligible to apply for a new project while our current MSIP-funded project is still being completed, or does the existing project need to be fully completed and closed out before we can apply again?
I just want to make sure I understand the process correctly before I let you know whether Okmulgee should be included on the list of communities planning to apply this year.
I hope that makes sense! Thank you for your patience as I learn the ropes, and I really appreciate any guidance you can give me.
Thank you so much!
Sarah Rhodes

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [MainstreetManagers] Quality Assurance views on Main Street Portal


Good afternoon, everyone!



The Quality Assurance community view on the Main Street portal has been down since July 1.  We have made our IT department aware of this but we currently have no one to fix this problem as they are waiting to hear back from the third party vendor that constructed it.



We apologize for the inconvenience and we are hoping to have it fixed sooner rather than later.

Subject: [MainstreetManagers] Question about Volunteers - do you do
	background checks?
Message-ID: <CAF4=bD7p7H1CwWxYE3BZ6S4nXaZJVxDwK1fczOjXU7segaGG9Q@mail.gmail.com>

Please keep in mind, we have not in the past.  We are experiencing a surge
in volunteers and my ORG committee was asking.  I just want an educated
answer.  LOL!

It's an important question as we all want fully vetted folks around us.

Thank you!

*Shout out to my SWOK folks in Altus and Ardmore.   My new 40th year friend
in Okmulgee and new Director friends in Enid and Wewoka, Ponca City.
Cannot wait to see everyone in person in Oct.  *
