City Hall is in District 9 tonight

Mayor Dewey Bartlett and the City Councilors are bringing City Hall to Tulsa’s neighborhoods. The mayor and council will host “City Hall In Your Neighborhood” events in each of Tulsa’s nine council districts.

“This will be an opportunity for residents to talk face to face with their city government representatives, working with us to solve problems in their neighborhoods,” Mayor Bartlett said. “These forums will also address the comments we heard in our citizen survey earlier this year, requesting more public meetings in the council districts and improved communications from their elected officials.”

The mayor says 75 percent of respondents said they want more public meetings to communicate city initiatives.

"The energy to move Tulsa forward isn't just going to come from inside City Hall,” said Council Chair, G.T. Bynum. “We need the ideas and the feedback of our fellow Tulsans and this is a great opportunity for that. As councilors, we are looking forward to joining Mayor Bartlett in our districts and bringing City Hall to the citizens in their neighborhoods."

At the meeting, Tulsans can talk with the mayor, their district’s council representative, city department heads and staff, to ask questions and receive information on city government services and programs that have a direct and indirect impact on their lives. Customer Care Center and Working in Neighborhood representatives will also be on hand to take reports of problems and concerns and generate service orders on the spot.

District 9 meets on April 30th at Whiteside Park Community Center, 4009 S. Pittsburg Ave.

The final meeting will be District 6 on May 14th at Martin Regional Library, 2601 S. Garnett Rd.

All of the City Hall In Your Neighborhood events begin at 5:30 p.m., starting with a “Resource Fair,” followed by a 6 p.m. presentation and question & answer sessions.
