			 the power vested in me by Article VI, Sections
			 1,
			 2, and
			 8 of the Oklahoma Constitution,
			 and Title 60, Section
			 180 of the
			 Oklahoma Statutes, hereby approve the termination of the University Center at
			 Tulsa Authority (the "UCT") to take effect upon the occurrence of certain
			 conditions set forth more fully herein.
As explanation, the UCT and the Tulsa Development Authority (the
			 "TDA") entered into an agreement (the "Agreement") that was approved by the UCT
			 Board of Trustees on August 14, 2018, and by the TDA Board of Commissioners on
			 September 6, 2018. Pursuant to the Agreement, the UCT shall convey to the TDA
			 title to certain property held in trust by the UCT in fee simple, subject to
			 certain conditions. The UCT shall transfer the remaining property held in trust
			 to the Board of Regents for the Oklahoma Agricultural & Mechanical Colleges
			 for the benefit of Oklahoma State University - Tulsa and/or Langston University
			 - Tulsa.
Upon completion of all transfers of UCT property provided for in
			 the Agreement, the UCT will cease to hold any property in trust. The UCT has
			 requested that I approve its termination in accordance with Title 60, Section
			 180 of the
			 Oklahoma Statutes, which provides that a trust for furtherance of public
			 functions "may be terminated by agreement of the trustee, or, if there be more
			 than one, then all of the trustees, and the governing body of the beneficiary,
			 with the approval of the Governor of the State of Oklahoma." The UCT requests
			 that my approval take effect upon the occurrence of these statutory conditions
			 and completion of the real property transfers.
Therefore, in accepting the request of the UCT to approve its
			 termination, I, Mary Fallin, Governor of the State of Oklahoma, pursuant to
			 Article VI Sections
			 1,
			 2, and
			 8 of the Oklahoma Constitution,
			 and Title 60, Section
			 180 of the
			 Oklahoma Statutes, hereby approve of the termination of the UCT, to take effect
			 upon (1) completion of the transfer of all property held in trust by the UCT;
			 (2) the unanimous agreement of the trustees of the UCT to terminate the trust;
			 and (3) the agreement of the Tulsa City Council, the governing body of the City
			 of Tulsa, the beneficiary of the trust, to terminate the trust.

Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
Upon taking office, I directed my staff to begin examining the
			 frequency with which state agencies, boards, and commissions hire outside
			 lobbyists to lobby the State's legislators on their behalf and the costs
			 incurred as a result of such lobbying. While my office has been able to
			 identify numerous agencies, boards, and commissions that use outside lobbyists,
			 the data related to the costs incurred with respect to such lobbying is
			 virtually impossible to identify.
Certainly, there is a role to be played in governmental affairs
			 for persons to lobby legislators on behalf of various interest groups. The
			 Oklahoma Statutes recognize this role in regulating the conduct of lobbyists in
			 Title 74 of the Oklahoma Statutes, Chapter 62 Appendix 1, Rule 5. However, as
			 Governor of the State Oklahoma with "Supreme Executive power" to manage the
			 Executive Branch of the government, as provided for in Section
			 2
			 of Article VI of the Oklahoma Constitution, I have determined that it is not a
			 proper use of state funds for any state agency, board, or commission to expend
			 taxpayers' money on the hiring of outside lobbyists to lobby the State's
			 legislators on behalf of any state agency, board, or commission.
As a result, therefore, I, J. Kevin Stitt, Governor of the State
			 of Oklahoma, by the authority vested in me pursuant to Sections 1 and 2 of
			 Article VI of the Oklahoma Constitution, hereby direct all "state agencies," as
			 defined by 61 O.S. § 327(A), as follows:
1. On or before March 29, 2019, provide a
		  report to the Office of the Governor with the following information:
a. The name or names of any "Legislative
		  Lobbyist," "Executive Lobbyist," or "Lobbyist Principal," (collectively
		  referred to as "Lobbyists") retained by your agency for the purpose of engaging
		  in "Legislative Lobbying" or "Executive Lobbying" (collectively referred to as
		  "Lobbying"), as such capitalized terms are defined in 74 O.S. Chapter 62,
		  Appendix I, Rule 5.2, in Fiscal Year 2019 ("FY 2019").
b. The total amount of funds expended by your
		  agency to any and all Lobbyist(s) identified in paragraph 1(a) above in FY 2019
		  and the total amount anticipated to be expended by your agency through the
		  duration of FY 2019.
c. The name or
		  names of any and all Lobbyist(s) retained by your agency for the purpose of
		  Lobbying during Fiscal Years 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018.
d. The total amount of funds expended by your
		  agency to any and all Lobbyist(s) identified in paragraph 1(c) above during
		  Fiscal Years 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018.
e. A description of the process your agency
		  used to award any and all contract(s) to any and all Lobbyist(s) identified in
		  paragraphs 1(a) and 1(c) above.

As stated by a former Governor of the State in a previous
			 Executive Order, planes and other aircraft that are owned by the State can be
			 an important tool of government. However, the inherently high cost of
			 acquiring, maintaining, and operating aircraft means that the Executive Branch
			 of the State of Oklahoma has a responsibility to oversee the ownership and use
			 of such aircraft with an eye towards eliminating inefficiencies and excessive
			 costs to the taxpayers and citizens of Oklahoma.
After having carefully reviewed the aircraft assets of the State,
			 and the costs associated with owning, maintaining, and operating each of them,
			 I have determined that the State of Oklahoma owns and maintains more aircraft
			 than are necessary for the efficient administration of the roles of the
			 Executive Branch.
As a result, therefore, I, J. Kevin Stitt, Governor of the State
			 of Oklahoma, by the authority vested in me pursuant to Sections 1 and 2 of
			 Article VI of the Oklahoma Constitution, hereby direct and order the
			 Commissioner of the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety to sell, as soon as
			 reasonably practicable, for a fair value, the 1990 Beech B300 (King Air),

Copies of this Executive Order shall be distributed to the

Planes and other aircraft that are owned, leased, chartered, or
			 rented by the State or its agencies (hereinafter, "aircraft") can be an
			 important tool of government. Such vehicles allow for the quick transportation
			 of public officers between far-flung regions of Oklahoma when time is of the

			 and better coordinate an effective response to these types of disasters;
			 critically assist search and rescue operations; and, of course, aid in law
			 enforcement's drug interdiction efforts and in the location and capture of
			 criminals, more generally. However, the inherently high cost of acquiring,
			 maintaining, and operating aircraft means that the State of Oklahoma has a

			 coordinating utilization and eliminating inefficiencies.
As a result, therefore, I, J. Kevin Stitt, Governor of the State

2. The administrative head of every "state

		  of aircraft use. Any aircraft that is purchased or otherwise permanently
		  acquired by the State or an agency is subject to the reporting requirements of
		  74 O.S. § 110.1.
3. The
		  Director of OMES, in conjunction with the Commissioner, shall develop a

		  Oklahoma law-including, but not limited to, 63 O.S. § 2-109 and 74 O.S.
		  §§ 85.12b, 150.16, 500.6, 500.6A, and 500.18-and shall include
		  guidelines for:
a. The consolidation of
		  storage and maintenance operations of aircraft owned by the State or any of its
		  agencies;
b. The shared use of
		  aircraft owned by the State or any of its agencies that prioritizes
		  availability for law enforcement and other public safety initiatives;
