Office of the Mayor
Greetings,
The City's fund balance, a one-time source of money, was
appropriated by a $2.8 million budget amendment passed by the Tulsa
City Council in June and is now depleted with certain services that
were left unfunded.
Finance officials now know that $1.9 million is available in the
fund balance that was set aside for certain services such as: the
elimination of four furlough days for city employees; restoration
of highway lighting and fire department salaries; reactivation of
two police helicopters; and materials for street pothole repair and
salt, sand, and overtime costs for winter storm response.
Items left underfunded include street pothole repair and salt,
sand and overtime costs for winter storm response. Mayor Bartlett
will work with the council to make sure each budget item is
restored and paid for.
Most recently, the City of Tulsa has an excess of $1.3 million
from being above budget estimates with sales tax receipts received
by the State of Oklahoma. The mayor urged a conservative and
cautious approach to our budget situation as $18.2 million of
one-time revenue sources, grants and other unaddressed costs will
have to be replaced in the upcoming fiscal year. Listen to ten
minutes of the presentation

Best Regards,
Dewey Bartlett
