Williams said the city began a new five-year consolidated planning process this year, solicited applications and held review trainings; the RFP closed Nov. 22, 2024.

Williams said the process produced 43 applications from outside agencies and four from city departments. “As a result, out of the 43 applications, 30 applicants were awarded funding to external agencies,” Williams said, and he later explained that the 30 awards represent 23 distinct external agencies because some organizations received awards in multiple categories. Grants staff also noted that three awards went to internal city departments and that some funds were set aside for the homeless management information system.

Williams outlined the review process: applications were prescreened for completeness, reviewers were trained, and review scores and organizational-capacity assessments were provided to the Community Development Committee on Feb. 6. He said bonus points were awarded to applicants whose proposals aligned with the consolidated-plan priorities set by the committee and consultants.

Council members asked about scoring variability and the committee’s policy to treat public-service funding as highly competitive; Williams said the committee has generally used a de facto cutoff of 20 points for public-service awards in recent years. Elsa Bagle told staff she found some scoring outcomes difficult to reconcile: “The scores don’t make sense to me,” Bagle said, noting examples where higher averages did not always translate to awards. Williams and councilors discussed factors the committee considered, such as program scale, number of households served and whether organizations could access other funding sources.

Williams warned that the federal picture remains uncertain: he said HUD has advised jurisdictions not to submit action plans until federal allocations are known and that national staffing cuts at HUD’s CPD office could affect timing. Grants administration said the consolidated plan and annual action plan will be available for public comment March 3 through April, and the city must submit final plans to HUD by May 15, subject to HUD providing the federal allocation.

Committee members asked for clearer tracking of alignment between applications and consolidated-plan goals and for guidance the grants office can provide to applicants seeking to improve future submissions. Williams said applicants can request reviewer comments and that grants administration routinely provides feedback on application deficiencies.

No final appropriation or council vote on allocations occurred at the committee meeting; staff’s recommendations will proceed through the Community Development Committee process and later to the council for final action contingent on federal allocations and the public-comment process.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Tulsa - Council Public Works Committee - Feb 26, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Grants administration presented the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), ESG and related funding recommendations for program year 2026, describing a competitive review process that produced recommended awards; final selections and a consolidated plan remain contingent on HUD allocations and a public-comment period.","taxTitle","Tulsa, Tulsa County, Oklahoma","taxId",2682,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6660895,"Committee reviews shared-use agreement request from Goodwill Industries for Howard Park parking lot",377,1337340,1715040,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2431160-a1cb383120dbbfe7ffd617b24a529596&start=1337&end=1715","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2431160-a1cb383120dbbfe7ffd617b24a529596/thumbnail_1337340.jpg","/articles/6660895/Tulsa/Tulsa-County/Oklahoma/Committee-reviews-shared-use-agreement-request-from-Goodwill-Industries-for-Howard-Park-parking-lot","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6660895-0356f963317fd58fd738e08df2f74c11/orig.mp4?Expires=1775652537&Signature=AWTuJBgcwUtE54vBcqKpMefqVPvaVsPNIvAt5hcg1QD3hSZ6mDRgdq7-E-4vzyNwoXYJ4LqijBXKh2tlNhJICB76LfjfFESS7m0iGag3-aY185SnuxXiHTBYRUeR5OkS-Fxl~WXQfbrM4JBxi7TUU7yl1py1ec2FqZEsbjbl7qaXBhzBnVc1-J7PJs9MwSyHaDtlmVLLNHHTEm68wWdXRgrw6j3xbD0st2zPTuhS7POXngna~W7Q1kBuuQZKB3jwc8JYeW86ovF7R0PacDGLXNB-yQvJhOLe4UsQ8mKiJrDvShMVq9jVfMJu-9kwRT4OW0IvzIYqhJi-TfMvA4ES6g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City staff briefed the Public Works Committee on a draft shared-use agreement requested by Goodwill Industries of Tulsa Incorporated to use the Howard Park parking lot adjacent to the organization’s facility at 2740 Southwest Boulevard. The parks department had requested approval; in the parks department’s absence a city staff member told the committee the agreement is revocable at will by the city and involves no financial exchange.

“We helped draft the agreement,” the staff member said, describing the property relationship and the proximity of Goodwill’s facility to Howard Park. The staff member added the agreement is revocable at will by the city if a conflicting use or city need arises.

Committee members asked only clarifying questions; no finance or fee was reported. The item was presented as a routine permit/license agreement rather than a long-term conveyance and the packet indicated the city retains the right to revoke the agreement for conflicting uses.

No committee vote was taken; the staff presentation indicated the parks department seeks the committee’s approval and the item may appear on a future council agenda for formal action.","City staff described a draft revocable shared-use agreement that would allow Goodwill Industries of Tulsa to use the Howard Park parking lot; the committee received the briefing and no vote was taken.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6660900,"Committee hears reappointment of Jim Provenzano to ethics advisory committee",586,829980,1416150,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2431160-a1cb383120dbbfe7ffd617b24a529596&start=829&end=1416","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2431160-a1cb383120dbbfe7ffd617b24a529596/thumbnail_829980.jpg","/articles/6660900/Tulsa/Tulsa-County/Oklahoma/Committee-hears-reappointment-of-Jim-Provenzano-to-ethics-advisory-committee","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6660900-b58fd9eedbae8c71e5e0e5581ce86324/orig.mp4?Expires=1775652537&Signature=W9~Cm9DH8DNkGl30~gO-OIKo4szn0GZ15maLnpD3U3Ff8j7T6KWdzTqgxdN5tFHB95WokKoR~By19eEqFaf4bfUMW5WSXDSPjyMul9FHsZ5BkO0qbP0e9CfGZEsZ1gudeaUztlipdFqI~glCZwutUS5xUM8eCwb1ezTzyAyuCK2fjtLoX1C2y05iIOblb7MRIaxeiyxA3dzy1-rt4kGTVNCpitgVSteVgfHIrZjSGFYYeLhJaYg-9tQk68xIEGE04otuB6Y3yhiwc0PXgyE1yt-odAlbrrqtNGu7S13x0d9DPa-1t1m-vHB9u2y2UvN-fyUoKSDbxhlfxReCtROT1Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The committee heard from Jim Provenzano, nominated for reappointment to the Tulsa Ethics Advisory Committee with a term expiring Dec. 1, 2027.

Provenzano said the committee has been underused in recent years and described efforts to shape its work. “The way it was created in theory, it’s a great idea, but in practice, it’s toothless,” he said, adding that there is interest in giving the committee more authority and in working with the new city auditor on reporting and data issues.

Maybelle Wallace, who said she has lived in Tulsa for 95 years and has served on the commission since its inception, described outreach efforts and a new monthly newsletter. “I really feel that my purpose for being here is to help the young people,” Wallace said, noting she brings a historical perspective to the commission. Committee members praised her longevity and civic involvement.

Marquise Dennis, who identified himself as founder and executive director of Birthright Living Legacy and described work on fatherhood and family support, said he serves as chair of the commission’s policy committee and described coordination with other local groups. “I am Marquise Dennis, founder and executive director of a organization called Birthright Living Legacy, fatherhood celebration and support,” he said.

Brian Humphrey, a commercial lender who said he was born and raised in Tulsa and serves on the Tulsa Planning Commission, described his interest in strengthening ties between the commission and economic development work.

Committee members thanked the nominees for their service and noted that the council would consider the reappointments at the March 5 meeting. Several members encouraged the commissioners to bring policy suggestions forward to the council when appropriate.
