Vision 2025...Part 2?

[Townsend]

http://www.cityoftulsa.org/our-city/vision2.aspx

Mayor Dewey Bartlett will host five public forums across Tulsa to receive citizen input for Vision2 projects. Other communication outlets are also in place for citizens to provide suggestions and feedback immediately.

The Board of County Commissioners passed a resolution which would give the citizens of Tulsa an opportunity to vote for an extension of the Vision2025 program on November 6. With a potential extension, the City of Tulsa must identity projects for inclusion in the new Vision2 program.

After public forums are held, a resolution will be created comprised of projects from citizen input. If Vision2 is approved on November 6, the city of Tulsa will gain financing to begin many projects outlined in the resolution immediately. While each project will vary on completion time, all Vision2 initiatives set forth by citizens would be complete by 2029.



Tulsa is home to the largest Vision 2025 project, the award-winning BOK Center. Since opening four years ago, the BOK Center has brought world class entertainment to Tulsa. The BOK Center is ranked 21st in the nation and 45th worldwide in total event ticket sales. Other highly recognized Vision2025 projects include the enhancement and promotion of the 26 miles of historic Route 66 stretching from east to west through Tulsa; and funding for neighborhoods citywide to celebrate their uniqueness and historic character.

"In 2003, voters passed Vision2025 which has enabled Tulsans to enjoy many new facilities and receive funding for various neighborhood and infrastructure projects that could not be realized without Vision2025 funding," Mayor Dewey Bartlett said. "With Tulsa potentially receiving funding for continued economic development, we want to receive feedback from citizens on how we can best invest in our community."

GTFO.

The BOk Center shouldn't be mentioned in the same document as V2.

Mayor's FB posts are getting heavier today:

Today we held a press conference to ask Tulsans for project ideas for the next Vision2 package. I'm looking forward to the five public forums we will be holding to get citizen feedback. Be among the first to give your input by filling out our online form at www.cityoftulsa.org/Vision2

Better get use to deferred maintenance showing up in these ever growing tax packages. People see the damage of wear and tear on buildings. Not so much our underground utilities....

Ever wonder why Aox was against 2025? I think a big part was the fact we can't keep up what we've got.

DO NOT FILL THAT OUT! They will compose data and manipulate it to their own purposes. Besides, the questions seem unprofessional like much of what comes out of that building.

[RecycleMichael]

Yes. Fill out the questionaire.

The City is making an honest effort to hear from the citizens. Attend the meetings if possible, and notify the Mayor and Council if you feel strongly about a particular project.

Don't be a clown and ignore the opportunity because of paranoia.

"honest" coming from government? Come now. You just like funding the Chambers Bribe solution to expanding the economic base...throwing money around is a bad idea even if bad communities are "doing the same thing".....

Why fill out a questionnaire after they've already developed the list. Bassackwards.

Can't believe I am saying this, but TTC is right. This should have been occurring months ago. This is nothing more than a way to gather data for marketing of the plan that is already on the ballot. Maybe the authors figure that if there are no specifics, it can be everything to everyone.

[RecycleMichael]

There is a constant list of projects, but if people show up and have a good idea, it will make the list. I saw it happen years ago when golfers went to the meetings and asked about a west Tulsa golf course.  Page Belcher course was born.

Go ahead and ignore the opportunity to be heard. I don't care. TeaTownClown has stupid ideas and you live in Bartlesville and can't even vote on this measure.

Sounds like another smash and grab job like the River Tax FAIL of '07.

Anyone hear anything about the progress on our streets package lately?  How about keeping the public better informed on projects already in place?

I do give the V-2025 project managers props for at least trying to keep us informed of the V-2025 projects as they progressed.

The streets package has a great website with the status of each project:

Before any survey is filled out the information should be gathered from  www.usdebtclock.org and a effort be made to protect the children and the aged who's future is intertwined with all quality-of-life.  These are the ones who will not have the knowledge to project into the future cost when all governmental entities' operate on a paper economy.  We have debtors in Europe and Mideast that are demanding we establish a standard.

It seems so odd that the AA bankruptcy judge would extend until December   for the filling of their final reorganization papers.  One can say it is coincidental and that action could not have anything with the Tulsa sales tax election extension in November.                 

The citizens who will be most effected by the extension is not aware of the regressive tax that will effect the needy the most.  They do not realize in the inflationary environment of today that the tax increases with inflation.

I hope to take part in a couple of the meeting but why the was this not all done before? It seems very odd.
