7/28/2007

Tulsa County commissioners have scheduled additional public meetings next week to discuss a $393 million proposal to implement parts of the Arkansas River Corridor Master Plan. On Thursday, the commissioners are expected to consider whether to call an Oct. 9 election on a proposed four-tenths-of-a-cent sales-tax increase to cover the $282.25 million public-funding portion of the proposal.

If the public funding is approved, the private sector has committed to provide $111 million in river enhancements. Meetings are set for:

Sunday: 2-4 p.m. at the east end of the QuikTrip Center (formally known as the Exposition Center) at Expo Square; Commissioner Randi Miller will give a PowerPoint presentation.

Monday: 7 p.m. at Hardesty Regional Library, 8316 E. 93rd St; discussion hosted by Commissioner Fred Perry.

Tuesday: 7 p.m. at the CityPlex Towers, 81st Street and Lewis Avenue, on the second floor of the atrium building; discussion hosted by Perry.

Wednesday: 7 p.m. at Central on Main, 210 N. Main St. in Broken Arrow; discussion hosted by Perry.
