Greetings,
We have dozens of volunteer opportunities to be involved with the business and activities at the City of Tulsa. Please consider joining the City of Tulsa as we move Tulsa forward by volunteering to serve on an Authority, Board or Commission. The City of Tulsa has 51 citizen groups that cover a wide range of topics and appeal to a variety of interests. Both the City Council and I rely on these citizen groups to provide thoughtful advice regarding policy and program development.
As far as qualifications, first of all, you must be a Tulsa resident. Some boards have additional requirements. If you would like to be considered for a volunteer position, you can find information about each of the Authorities, Boards or Commissions, as well as an online application online.
Get involved with us!
Sincerely,
Kathy Taylor
Mayor
I Believe in Tulsa!
Alternative Transportation Next Topic at Greening the (918)
The Greening the (918) series continues this Tuesday, February 17 with a seminar on “Alternative Transportation.”
The February seminar is set for 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Central Center Auditorium, 1028 E. 6th. In addition to looking at transportation systems (like roads, lights rail, buses) the conversation at this seminar will cover the health aspects of using different modes of transportation, like walking and riding your bike.
Pothole Patrol On Task
Snow and ice, as well as up-and-down temperature cycles create a huge number of potholes on Tulsa streets each winter. Moisture on the pavement and daily freeze-and-thaw cycles are destructive forces on both asphalt and concrete. In the past two weeks, more than 12,000 potholes have been repaired!
Mayor Kathy Taylor has launched the Pothole Patrol program to encourage citizens to report potholes. The number of Pothole Patrol reports and repairs since Jan. 29, 2009 is posted daily on our city website, so you can see both the volume of work performed by City workers and the rapid response to pothole complaints.
Report a pothole and to see the daily pothole report and repair listing Online.
