Earth Month
Every April is Earth Month, and Earth Day is April 22. This yearly anniversary warrants many local festivals and events, among them the Garden Fest at Tulsa Garden Center this weekend and the "Party for the Planet" at the Tulsa Zoo on April 16. However, Earth Day is more than just a month, or a special day, or a single event. Earth Month is a reminder that we are all stewards of the earth, and there are many things we can do individually to make a difference in the place where we live. Neighborhood cleanups make our city shine. Awareness of the causes of pollution in our water and air result in actions which make our city healthier. Creek cleanups and taking steps to reduce ozone every day are more actions by which individuals can make a difference. Take this month, and every month, to help Tulsa shine as a clean and healthy place to live. It makes a difference to those who already live here, and to those who are considering locating a business or residence here. Best regards, Dewey Bartlett Mayor of Tulsa

Burn Ban In Effect for Tulsa
Monday, April 4, Tulsa County Commissioners passed a resolution creating a burn ban in Tulsa County for the next seven days. After seven days, Tulsa County Commissioners will meet to assess the need for another seven-day burn ban. With the burn ban in effect, the Tulsa Fire Department wants to remind City of Tulsa residents that any kind of outdoor burning is strictly prohibited. In the City of Tulsa, there is a minimum $220 fine for burning. This includes: outdoor grills, fire pits, chimineas, outdoor fireplaces, camp fires, trash burning, etc. The Tulsa Fire Department also wants to remind citizens to not throw cigarette butts outside, but properly dispose of burning cigarettes. The burn ban overrides any previously issued burn permits. Permits will be reissued at no cost once the burn ban is lifted. You can view the map of the current burn bans issued statewide and related laws, by visiting the Oklahoma Forestry website. //

The Results Are In
For the first time in the history of Tulsa city government, we conducted something every business knows is a good practice: a survey of our customers for their views on the performance and effectiveness of city government services. Thanks to the support from the Tulsa Community Foundation, the highly acclaimed Shapard Research firm asked citizens what they think about and want from their city. More than 1,800 households all across the city answered more than 100 questions about Tulsa.
The result of the citizen survey showed that 51 percent of Tulsans surveyed believe we are headed in the right direction compared to 26 percent who do not. This two-to-one margin gives me great hope that the policies laid down in 2010 will provide a solid foundation as we move forward.
Other survey results are very encouraging:
- 77 percent have a positive perception of Tulsa as a place to live; 65 percent were satisfied with the appearance of the city; 75 percent are satisfied with the appearance of our parks;
- 75 percent support the KPMG initiatives and the benefit potential it holds; 70 percent support the spending proposals I intend to pursue in this next budget; 77 percent feel proud to be a Tulsan; and 78 percent want to start developing the river.
This direct feedback will be invaluable in our planning and responding to what Tulsans want for their city.
There are great opportunities that will come from this survey because it is truly a grassroots report.
This is what makes it so powerful and so likely to succeed.
When we began to plan for this survey it started with a simple question: "If you had 15 minutes alone with the mayor, what would you tell him was important for Tulsa to continue to be the great city it has always been?"
We asked, you spoke, we listened.
Now the action begins.
Best Regards,
Dewey BartlettMayor

Plan for Events This Week
Beginning this week, Tulsans can expect to see a higher traffic volume due to St. Patrick's Day events and the upcoming NCAA Tournament.
With the influx of people in the downtown area, citizens who travel downtown can expect to see road closures for special event tents near the BOK Center and in the Blue Dome District.
Shuttle services will also be running more frequently, with longer hours than normal to accommodate NCAA fans throughout the weekend.
Will you be going to the basketball games?

Spring is Near
Tulsa Parks To Open Pools This Summer
Tulsa Parks is already making summer plans and will open five pools this summer, the same number and the same pools as in 2010.
These pools are located at McClure, Reed, Lacy, Whiteside and Berry parks.
Admission fees to the pools will also be the same as 2010.
To physically prepare a pool for opening and to hire lifeguards, decisions on which pools to open are made in the late winter and early spring.
"While budget dollars haven't changed much since a year ago, we are making plans to make sure pools get open," says Lucy Dolman, Tulsa Parks Director. "Additionally, we have three more water playgrounds this year than 2010, plus one we're working on now. These playgrounds are very popular with children, are open longer, and are much more affordable to maintain."
Since 2010, three water playgrounds have been built at Maxwell, Chamberlain, and Owen. A fourth will be constructed at Whiteside. Funding for water playgrounds comes from 2001 and 2006 Sales Tax and Vision 2025 funding.
Applications for Lifeguard positions, as well as Summer Day Camp Leaders, are now available.

Crews Patching Potholes; Trash Collections Back to Normal
After almost two weeks of working around the clock to remove snow from Tulsa streets, the City of Tulsa's street maintenance crews resumed normal schedules this week and began patching potholes.
About 150 Public Works employees were engaged in removing snow and spreading salt on Tulsa's streets. About 40 of those employees are from the Street Maintenance section and are now patching potholes.
Potholes are a year-round problem, but usually increase dramatically after snow and ice storms and extremely cold weather. The freeze-and-thaw of moisture on and in the pavement enlarges cracks and accelerates the formation of potholes.
Citizens are encouraged to report potholes, especially larger or deeper potholes with the potential to cause damage to vehicles or create hazards for motorists. Potholes can be reported online and providing information about the pothole location. Potholes can also be reported by calling the Mayor's Action Center at 596-2100.
Trash and recycling collection crews for the City of Tulsa and its contractors also resumed normal collection routes this week. Any customers who's trash was missed during the snow storms can put their items out on regular collection days to be picked up.

Tulsa's New Vision: What's Happening in 2011
Last year will be marked as the beginning of a new vision for the City of Tulsa.
The "seeds" of this new vision were planted in 2010 and will begin to bear results in 2011 and should give citizens a new sense of confidence in Tulsa's future.
KPMG
This first-of-a-kind review of the entire operation of City government was completed and will begin to be implemented making City government more responsive, cost effective and customer orientated. The challenges which government faces today must be met with a new form and purpose of government.
PLANiTULSA
The first update of the City's comprehensive plan in 30 years will begin implementation. Two main objectives in 2011 as first steps include: hiring a director of Planning to oversee that the strategies and recommendations are implemented in a timely, organized, and coordinated manner; updating the zoning code so that those recommended uses of land and space have a sense of balance, flexibility, livability, and opportunity.
Energy Master Plan
The City of Tulsa's first Energy Conservation Master Plan will be completed. Spanning across dozens of facilities and public improvements, the plan will identify where energy usage and costs can be conserved, where alternative types of energy can be used, and where capital energy improvements will provide the sustainability of public assets.
Arkansas River
For the first time since October of 2007, serious talk and movement on development of areas along the Arkansas River resumed. Early in 2011 an RFP will be issued for approximately 100 acres on the west bank of the river. Also in 2011 will be the start of the dialogue with the government leaders of the other river cities on the creation of a river development authority.
Taxes
The push to collect the sales and use taxes destined for the City of Tulsa will continue. With both a pending lawsuit to allow local collection as well as pending legislation to return the option to cities, this is the life blood for the City. Early in 2011 new private auditors approved by the tax commission will be allowed to audit local business for payment compliance.
Municipal Finance Task Force
With the Municipal Finance Task Force issuing its 13 recommendations in December, the start of the next legislative session in February will see several bills introduced by Tulsa that provide the City with fiscal options, flexibility, and opportunities to stabilize our fiscal house.
Citizens Survey
For the first time, a comprehensive citywide citizen's survey was launched in December. Over 100 questions on all aspects of city life in Tulsa is being asked of nearly 2,000 households. When the results are received in early 2011, a new plan of action, transparency, and accountability will be prepared.
Small Business Ombudsman
No business is more important to the economic health of Tulsa than the small business. Yet the size of government and its abundance of red tape can strangle the small business owner to death. To provide the responsive guidance which a small business needs getting through the maze of government regulations, a new, first-of-a kind Small Business Ombudsman position was created in 2010.
City/County Collaboration
It matters little to the citizens which government provides which services. All of the services are paid for by the same taxpayer. Up until recently, there was no recognizable relationship with the elected leaders of Tulsa County. That changed in 2010 with the issuance of an executive order creating the City County Collaborative Advisory Committee. In 2011, the leaders which will compose this committee will begin the exploration of partnerships and joint ventures.
IBM
Late in 2010 the City of Tulsa applied for one of the 50 IBM Smarter Cities Challenge grants. Tulsa's request is for IBM support to determine the competitive challenges Tulsa faces against its peer cities in the development of businesses and the creation of jobs. Tulsa should know in early 2011 if it is selected for one of these awards.
Each of these pieces of the new vision was developed in 2010 even as we battled the worse recession in our city's history. As dark as those days appeared, a vision for a better Tulsa is at hand.
The "seeds" of this new vision were planted in 2010 and will begin to bear results in 2011 and should give citizens a new sense of confidence in Tulsa's future.

From the Mayor:
Last Thursday was the launch the City of Tulsa's redesigned Web site - www.cityoftulsa.org - a joint project of our Communications and Information Technology departments.
The newly redesigned Web site, utilizing in-house resources, enhances the accessibility of information on the web and makes it easier for our citizens to use.
I hope you will use our Web site often to find information and report problems to the Mayor's Action Center. Please let us know how we can improve access and what additional information you want to see.
Our long-term goal is to increase the site's interactive features as the City is financially able to upgrade the technology.
We have made the Web site easier to find topics that appeal to three different audiences: visitors, residents and businesses. A menu item entitled "Quick Links" also provides another way of looking up specific topics that are most frequently accessed, such as job applications, tickets and utility bill online payment.
A featured area on the homepage is "Traffic Info," which links to the live traffic accident report, street closings and a link to the City's www.fixourstreetslive.com. This Web site is dedicated to keeping you informed of street improvement projects - the Fix Our Streets project maps are updated regularly to reflect changes, listing all phases from design to completion. Traffic Info road closures, includes a map to pinpoint an area to find out more about traffic changes while improvements are underway. This list will be updated daily as needed, and will include emergency closings resulting from waterline breaks or other traffic hazards.
You can also use the City's Web site to find public meeting agendas, view a calendar, read more details about City of Tulsa departments and link to government agencies that partner with the City.

Greetings From the Mayor
This summer, a total of 220 young people participated in iJobs, a six-week work experience and received valuable work experience to help them prepare for the working environment.
Instant Jobs for Tulsa area youth is part of Workforce Oklahoma's youth development program, which received more than $1 million in government funding from the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act.
We are extremely fortunate to have such a high-quality program here that not only serves as a model for our state, but provides our young people with the necessary skills they need to succeed in the workplace.
For a full listing of businesses that supported our 2009 iJobs summer program, please see the "iJobs' First Graduating Class" article:

Bike to Work
The weather’s great, and it’s time to ride your bike to work!
Come to Bike to Work Day on Friday, May 15, from 6:30 to 8:30 a.m. at the William’s Green, 3rd and Boston.
This year’s event will also celebrate Tulsa’s recent designation as a Bike Friendly Community. The award from the League of American Bicyclists made Tulsa the first community in Oklahoma to be recognized in this way.
The designation is based on Tulsa’s commitment to engineering, education, encouragement, enforcement and evaluation of bicycle facilities in the city. The League of American Bicyclists specifically lauded Tulsa’s three bicycle-sharing programs.
