From the City of OKC website:

“Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) are a public/private partnership in which property owners pay a special assessment for the maintenance, development, and promotion of their commercial district. All the BIDs in Oklahoma City are managed by a business - merchants association that typically includes one full time Executive Director who reports to the Board of Directors and manages the district services and relations.  

BIDs deliver supplemental services within a defined district such as:

• Maintenance and sanitation;

• Public Safety

• Marketing and promotion;

• Capital improvements; and

• Landscaping and beautification.

After City Council approves the BID, delivering the services and affecting change in the district will require continued coordination and management.  The services are typically managed by a non-profit association whose purpose is to steward the district and its prosperity.”
