News & Announcements

Sustainability Task Force
On March 5, I signed an Executive Order that will create a new Sustainability Task Force. We want to create a more sustainable, resilient and economically efficient city and this group will focus on developing actionable recommendations that we can implement right here in Tulsa to do that. In the coming weeks, I will appoint 15 members to this task force from a variety of industries, organizations, and City Departments, along with representatives from the Muscogee, Cherokee and Osage Nations. The task force will ultimately identify successful sustainability initiatives of other cities, identify and leverage what we’ve already identified in the planitulsa comprehensive plan, and submit a final report within the year that details actionable strategies and a roadmap for implementation. I look forward to hearing from our task force on a wide range of issues that can set Tulsa on a positive trajectory when it comes to sustainability. Read more...

Spay and Neuter
On March 4, we announced that we will continue to create better outcomes in our neighborhoods by taking steps to shine a light on pet overpopulation in our community. The fact is, nearly 85% of every animal that comes through the doors at our shelter has not been spayed or neutered and we know that pet overpopulation can lead to more abandoned or loose dogs. This is a crisis that demands immediate attention.

Thanks to our Tulsa Animal Services team and community partners, we are implementing a new fine structure for abandoned and unaltered animals, as well as a Discounted Spay/Neuter Voucher Program. We are committed to reducing the stray pet population and promoting safer neighbors throughout Tulsa. Let's do this together. Read more...

Housing
On February 24, I issued an Executive Order establishing housing as a priority for the City of Tulsa. This executive order is aimed at addressing the Mayor's goals, which include: <ul">

Increasing affordable housing stock by 6,000 units by 2028
Reducing blighted (unsafe, unsightly) properties by 60% by 2028
Reducing the cost burden taken on by developers to produce more housing

As we work to increase access to affordable housing by eliminating development barriers, it is critical that we establish a bold and strategic direction for ourselves. By issuing this executive order, we are sending a message to Tulsans that meeting our most pressing needs is more than just talk - it’s about building stronger systems, speeding up processes, and making it easier for us to meet our housing goals.
