The resolution urges private fundraising and continued support for the Performing Arts Center (PAC) as a driver of downtown economic activity and cultural tourism. After the council vote, Mark Fry, CEO of the Tulsa Performing Arts Center Trust, addressed the council and thanked members for their support.

Why it matters: The PAC says a multi‑year master plan will guide capital investments and programming to sustain the center as a cultural and economic anchor. The council’s resolution signals municipal endorsement and encourages private sector fundraising.

What was said

Council Chair Phil Lakin moved approval of the resolution and a roll call vote recorded affirmative responses from council members present. After the vote, Mark Fry told the council, “It is a monumental effort that we are going to try to tackle... The future is very bright for performing arts.”

Councilor remarks and context

Councilors highlighted the PAC’s role in the local economy and urged constituents to support state lawmakers and private donors who can help realize the master plan. The meeting minutes noted an upcoming Arts Advocacy and Culture Day at the state capitol and encouraged outreach to state legislators.

Outcome and next steps

The resolution was approved; the PAC leadership will continue fundraising and planning work described by the trust. The transcript does not record specific municipal budget commitments tied to the resolution at this meeting.

Direct quote

- “I look forward to continuing to work with you all side by side, and, the future is very bright for performing arts,” — Mark Fry, CEO, Tulsa Performing Arts Center Trust.

Several residents used the public comment period to ask for more information about that item. James Alexander Jr. told the council the Habitat deed “caught my attention because it has no backup to what they're doing,” and said the lack of supporting documentation was a concern. He also expressed skepticism about how homes provided in North Tulsa are designed, saying, “North Tulsa doesn't want... Habitat for Humanity houses because we deserve regular houses.”

Bernice Alexander, a Langston University graduate speaking during public comment, raised concerns about broader treatment of North Tulsa and named Langston University in her remarks: “I understand that there is an effort to close the university... and move those classes to OSU,” she said, and urged council attention to how resources and projects affect the North Tulsa community.

Why it matters: The deed of dedication to Habitat for Humanity relates to land transfer and future housing development. Residents’ requests for more documentation point to local concerns about neighborhood change and equitable project planning in North Tulsa.

Council action and context

The deed was part of the grouped mayoral items the council approved by omnibus motion and roll call. The meeting transcript does not show a separate, individual roll call on item 4K; the approval occurred as part of the broader motion to adopt items 4B–4R. At the meeting, council staff stated the mayor was not present and that the mayor’s items would not be read aloud but that the council would take public comments on them.

Clarifications and outstanding questions

- The agenda lists the property as 22846 East Independence Street, Parcel 670 B, TD Evans Subdivision and identifies the recipient as Tulsa Habitat for Humanity Inc.; no further project backup materials were discussed in the televised portion of the meeting.
- Speakers requested additional documentation and more community engagement specific to the parcel and to housing projects in North Tulsa.

What speakers said (direct quotes)

- “This caught my attention because it has no backup to what they're doing,” — James Alexander Jr., public commenter on item 4K.
- “North Tulsa doesn't want... Habitat for Humanity houses because we deserve regular houses,” — James Alexander Jr.
- “I understand that there is an effort to close the university... and move those classes to OSU,” — Bernice Alexander, public commenter referencing Langston University.

Next steps

The deed was adopted as part of the omnibus approval. The transcript does not show additional council direction to staff to provide backup documentation at this meeting. Residents requesting more information would need to follow up with the city clerk, planning staff or council offices for supporting materials referenced in the agenda packet.","Speakers raised concerns about a deed of dedication to Tulsa Habitat for Humanity for a property on East Independence and about perceived lack of backing documentation; the council approved the mayor’s omnibus motion that included the deed.",{"_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},6598471,"Council approves multiple mayoral items, plats and budget amendments in unanimous vote",57,1856000,1913000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3038131-ce240adfa33c55a8a043b121d45d75e4&start=1856&end=1913","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3038131-ce240adfa33c55a8a043b121d45d75e4/thumbnail_1856000.jpg","/articles/6598471/Tulsa/Tulsa-County/Oklahoma/Council-approves-multiple-mayoral-items-plats-and-budget-amendments-in-unanimous-vote","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6598471-e34b15f13bc78b8f149f426dbe9eea8b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771187411&Signature=ByUat-BWo-3vBzGu2QVOgG~xCcLeh3cikLTJgpysAW4SdCcTwTgtCmq9jk4XJyl93cV~4lusFvYfVfLuV8Pyb7pBREd60RVNrGqoaCcaGnqEwMKxZ0Hz41IOXu5NLnl-k3rJM9T8ouZlzorn59R45fFhmd5PpHeBSDetM7hkZuznhy9N-QmWMftWGZEiWBbb~ZdXDRvMzMnfpuuZagug6-KQELar56v7LMphUs6o9yObTj8s~vm~SBJ7nn0KgOUHFJA0~rIF7nTHgV6Tu0~VRTMM6tGOxObtpMDvl4n~8A3hleZQvRnSDH73gE44d2uMu4E-cKCRKd0Nl5RaZ4wztw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Tulsa City Council on April 2, 2025, approved a package of mayoral and administrative items, several plats and multiple budget amendments by roll call vote.

The council approved items listed under mayor’s items 4B through 4R (which included rezoning and plat approvals and a deed of dedication for a Tulsa Habitat for Humanity parcel), accepted items under authorities and boards (5A–5D), and adopted budget ordinances on second reading (7A–7E). Councilors voted to forward items in section 6 (first reading) to the next meeting for action.

Why it matters: The grouped approvals included land use items and multi‑million‑dollar budget amendments that fund city infrastructure and service programs. The council used omnibus motions to move multiple noncontroversial items at once, a common practice that shortens the agenda for items with little or no public opposition.

Most important outcomes

- Motion to approve items 4B–4R (mayor’s items, including a rezoning application Z7807, fee resolution 2933, final plat for Stone Creek Hollow and a minor plat for Costco North Tulsa): approved by roll call. The motion was moved and seconded on the consent/omnibus portion of the agenda and carried with all councilors present voting in the affirmative.

- Approval of items 5A–5D (authorities, boards and commissions items including a rezoning application and final plats): approved by roll call with affirmative votes from the councilors present.

- Ordinances on second reading (items 7A–7E) — budget amendments approved:
• 7A: Budget amendment, $300,000 related to interest earnings to cover arbitrage obligations: approved.
• 7B: Budget amendment, $154,189 for fee‑in‑lieu funds for Vinsal Creek: approved.
• 7C: Budget amendment, $17,100,000 related to citywide automated meter reading expenses: approved.
• 7D: Budget amendment, $19,620,000 for the Northside Wastewater Treatment Plant and area‑wide sewer rehabilitation: approved.
• 7E: Budget amendment, $200,000 related to golf course appropriations: approved.

Each of these ordinances was read on second reading and adopted by roll call with all councilors present voting yes.

Supporting details and procedure

Council members used a single omnibus motion to move many routine items together; the chair called for a roll call for each grouped motion and the minutes show unanimous affirmative responses from the councilors present. Items listed for first reading in section 6 were forwarded to the next council meeting for consideration.

What did not happen

No item in the group drew sustained debate at this meeting. Where public comment was present for one or more items on the omnibus list, speakers raised questions rather than opposition; those items were still adopted as part of the grouped motion.

Votes at a glance (formal outcomes)

- Items 1A–1B (receipt and filing of minutes): approved by roll call.
- Items 4B–4R (mayor’s items, including deed of dedication to Tulsa Habitat for Humanity Inc., rezoning Z7807, fee resolution 2933, Stone Creek Hollow final plat, Costco North Tulsa minor plat): approved by roll call.
- Items 5A–5D (authorities/boards/commissions items): approved by roll call.
- Items 7A–7E (budget ordinances on second reading totaling roughly $37.0 million across listed amendments): approved by roll call.

The council did not record any “no” votes on the grouped motions in the meeting transcript; the motions passed with affirmative roll call responses from councilors present.","Tulsa City Council approved a group of mayoral items including plats and a Habitat deed, several first- and second‑reading budget amendments and other routine items by roll call, with council members voting in favor of the grouped motions.","actionData","errors"]
