Current Situation The map on page 108 shows the location of new housing construction in the Oklahoma City region during the period 1990-1997. The North/Northwest OKC-Edmond area has experienced the highest concentration of new housing over this period. A second concentration has occurred in the South OKC-Moore- Norman area. Oklahoma City’s share of all new hosing construction in the region has increased from 46 percent in 1990 to 55 percent in 1997. This increase has corresponded with a resurgence in multi-family construction and is due in large part to Oklahoma City’s predominant share (70-80 percent) of multi-family construction. Oklahoma City’s share of metro employment has declined from 70 percent in 1990 to 68 percent in 1995. Oklahoma City Employment Metro Total 1990 302,800 430,600 1995 325,900 476,500 Sources: US Bureau of Labor Statistics for Metro Totals; Association of Central Oklahoma Governments for Oklahoma City employment Oklahoma City is the major center for retail sales in the region, although its position in the region has declined somewhat in recent years as shown in the graphs below. In 1990, the City had 62 percent of metro area sales subject to sales tax. Also in 1990, City businesses generated $10,160 in sales per capita, which was 1.92 times the $5,328 per capita generated in all other metro cities. By 1997, the City’s share of metro sales had declined to just under 60 percent and the City’s per capita of $12,525 had fallen to 1.77 times the $7,095 per capita for other cities. SALES SUBJECT TO SALES TAX SALES PER CAPITA Sources: ORIGINS, Oklahoma Department of Commerce and Center of Economic and Management Research, Oklahoma University Cooperative intergovernmental arrangements started years ago with the Association of Central Oklahoma Governments (ACOG), other communities, fire departments, and Oklahoma County and yet sprawl, competition, and political fragmentation endure. 105
The City has several key public trusts which address regional water and wastewater matters, public transit, air traffic, the zoo, the fairgrounds, and financing for other regional facilities such as hospitals and museums. Directions Explore the benefits of more regional intergovernmental cooperation and structures within which cooperation can occur to address regional challenges. Pursue opportunities for mutual services with county, school, and other municipal jurisdictions. Promote people’s awareness and support of their common bond as city-regional citizens. Work cooperatively with other municipalities to adopt and implement policies which support sound regional policies and promote efficient public services. Actions Maintaining Oklahoma City’s Viability within the Region Encourage expansion of the Oklahoma City area economy and examine prospects of regional tax base sharing so that cities can improve the delivery of regional services and infrastructure. Pursue methods for allocating to non-Oklahoma City residents their share of the cost of key regional services and facilities provided by Oklahoma City including downtown cultural and entertainment facilities and maintenance of major traffic arteries. Intergovernmental Cooperation Work closely with ACOG and all nearby municipalities to identify regional issues warranting more cooperation such as environmental protection, quality and capacity of transportation systems, municipal services, cultural facilities, and educational quality. Initiate discussions to identify services which can be more efficiently and effectively provided through a coordinated, unified regional approach working with municipal and county governments to develop the structure, operating arrangements, and finance mechanisms necessary to make shared approaches work. Initial candidates for this evaluation could include • water utility service and wastewater treatment, • solid waste management, especially the siting and development of landfills, • emergency medical response or ambulance services, • public transit, and • fire protection services. 106
