Oklahoma City Mayor David Holt speaks, Sept. 1, 2021, in Oklahoma City. The Oklahoma City Council voted Tuesday, Sept. 26, to set a Dec. 12 citywide vote on a proposed 1% sales tax for six years that would fund a new $900 million downtown arena and keep the NBA's Thunder in the city through at least 2050. The council also voted 7-2 to approve a letter of intent with the Thunder's ownership group that would require the group to contribute $50 million toward the arena’s cost. “I commend the Council for authorizing me to sign this historic letter of intent, I thank the Thunder for their partnership and I congratulate all of OKC for getting to this point,” Holt said in a statement.
