Jared Moore from the budget office summarized an ordinance to amend the fiscal year 2024–25 budget to recognize $84,200 in reimbursement revenues to the TMUA sewer operating fund for emergency sewer repairs performed on a commercial property; the reimbursement is being reappropriated to the emergency contract account so funds are available for future emergency work.

Another ordinance discussed a $1,473,000 transfer between projects within the TMUA Sewer Capital Projects subfund to advance the Upper Joe Creek East Branch project ahead of schedule. Public Works explained this is a timing matter: projects being reduced will be funded later with revenue bonds while the Upper Joe Creek project can proceed immediately if cash is available.

Staff also described consolidation of multiple Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) promissory‑note subfund balances into ongoing LaFortune/Upper Joe projects. The agenda listed specific transfer amounts across several OWRB subfunds (examples cited in the packet included transfers of $8,856.78, $54,444.86, $357,968.06, $800,065.33, $102,803.11, $415,852.99, $93,052.75 and $577,632.43) to consolidate remaining balances into the LaFortune project accounting structure. Public Works said the intent is to use those sitting OWRB balances toward an ongoing project rather than retire loan balances, because continuing to carry the OWRB loan is more efficient than replacing it with other financing in the current context.

Committee members asked whether the transferred OWRB balances would be fully utilized; staff replied that the current plan anticipates full utilization in the ongoing project and that capital project reviews will continue to ensure proper allocation if balances change.

No formal committee votes were recorded in the transcript for these budget amendments; items were presented as technical adjustments and staff answered questions about timing, loan servicing and overall project cost. The Upper Joe Creek project was described in discussion as a multi‑million dollar undertaking (presenters referenced a figure around $5.5–6 million) and staff noted that COVID‑era inflation increased final costs requiring partial cash funding early in the project.

Ending: Staff said accounting consolidations will proceed and Public Works will continue to brief the council as projects move into construction and bond financing.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Tulsa - Council Urban & Economic Development Committee - May 14, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Budget staff explained several technical amendments: a reimbursement appropriation to the TMUA sewer operating fund, a $1.47 million transfer to accelerate the Upper Joe Creek East Branch project, and consolidation of multiple OWRB promissory‑note balances into ongoing LaFortune/Upper Joe projects.","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},6563847,"City to assume ownership of bike racks after Tulsa Bike Share ceases operations",91,4065000,4156000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3320000-acdedfb30b58a6cb744410998201c11b&start=4065&end=4156","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3320000-acdedfb30b58a6cb744410998201c11b/thumbnail_4065000.jpg","/articles/6563847/Tulsa/Tulsa-County/Oklahoma/City-to-assume-ownership-of-bike-racks-after-Tulsa-Bike-Share-ceases-operations","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6563847-cbbb1d90d958391945d5b7ca071ef44d/orig.mp4?Expires=1770450742&Signature=ctYrFNvqWdqFfMqClyiiKrvtAgCQaaWW9A61MhBYRGifSblTVd0eyoB6yqm1S-MFi3beANVm1fDkV60yozomhU-slJd-dINLjxAotJ9K-vGhfkFA7DrWVT08HKPx9dBE8js7f30hNsJH2XdjjxuUwDlcOMSqZxlckVoj7OC2Qc9fQ90CcAyv773odBu49ITTo2muFX-XE-oVcX8~rLg1vlW94pICuL5GTXEqdstrmGUjJxPKSVdAwQsVHyxktdqczX-el40yjsqYKgzDOVwTCIEzXm-9xMR1fBY6A-uyu1AMZnYge~gxUNq3dSQM~SwKZkf0pZbnucqtLS5W619~Rg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Public Works staff informed the Urban and Economic Development Committee on May 14 that Tulsa Bike Share Inc. has ceased operations and the city is taking administrative steps to terminate the company's right‑of‑way occupancy permit and assume responsibility for the installed bike racks.

Paul Zacher, Public Works, said the city had issued the package documenting affected rack sites and noted that some racks already required removal because of damage. \"Tulsa Bikeshare Inc has ceased its operations,\" Zacher said, and the city will mark and maintain the remaining racks and coordinate with traffic engineering on signage and repair plans.

Committee members asked whether the racks included the shareable bikes. Staff clarified the city is taking ownership of the racks and kiosks but not the actual bicycles: \"It's just the bike racks,\" Paul Zacher said. He added that the city will preserve documentation and make the assets available should a future entrepreneur want to pursue a similar docked bicycle model.

No formal vote was recorded on revocation/termination during the discussion captured in the transcript; staff characterized the action as housekeeping following the operator's cessation of service and said the city will continue to partner with external groups as appropriate to maintain or replace infrastructure.

Ending: Staff said the racks will be rebranded and maintained under city oversight; the committee moved on to subsequent items.","Public Works staff told the committee that Tulsa Bike Share has stopped operations; the city will take ownership of the installed racks and maintain them, while the shareable bikes themselves are not part of the transfer.",{"_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},6563851,"City staff and partners present results, partnerships and $150,000 gap request for Financial Empowerment Center",2885,427000,3312000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3320000-acdedfb30b58a6cb744410998201c11b&start=427&end=3312","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3320000-acdedfb30b58a6cb744410998201c11b/thumbnail_427000.jpg","/articles/6563851/Tulsa/Tulsa-County/Oklahoma/City-staff-and-partners-present-results-partnerships-and-150000-gap-request-for-Financial-Empowerment-Center","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6563851-d398f6c906f4d55b1d6808d87abffa97/orig.mp4?Expires=1770450742&Signature=A6b5qVZAsfhXyjQ2i7xnqEz~c1~z4c-9f6QVNu-IwicOCNZeTQeUs2cwa0tshfNhl0ShpxiGG1uePklMNHrN4200eMmvCy9tMbjZGTXK1FYazjIH4~GysA9V02tqJmkIPo6CnSU1qPOgbMjztuuzMy~s4dUVHG3Z-YXl8OVqpYEW~2UeQHsFjJsJmnCGChphDhw-Kf4QroRXYrFo3xOKEOeglp1mlr~VKl~sYJWHLwvXsNsmqqKU2hNJ2VRHuewvAFS2Cz13nUqiCe1dUzR5pr7rQ0SHE3YVE9dXiO6fmwdQ7feFvQNU8ihRU9DSHTHcKnBiopVHWKdrIGJ5CXD~aA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Deputy Mayor Chris Sorbet and officials from the Office of Financial Empowerment (OFE) and Resilience and Equity presented program outcomes and a supplemental funding request for the Financial Empowerment Center (FEC) at the May 14 committee meeting.

Amber Dittins, director of OFE, gave topline results: over the program's history FEC counseling has helped clients reduce non‑mortgage debt by approximately $2,060,000, enable savings totaling about $664,000, and support 425 clients who increased credit scores by at least 31 points. Dittins said the program has provided credit reports to 978 people and has an average client income of about $28,000, with roughly 70% of clients identifying as women. \"The average savings for the program is about $3,178 per person,\" she said, and noted most clients attend two or more sessions.

Deputy Mayor Deandre Hayes and Dittins said the program launched in 2020 with Goodwill as the initial partner after national seed funding. In 2023 the city issued an RFP that brought Tulsa Response on as a second provider roughly eight months before the meeting. Program costs were described as roughly $300,000 per FEC provider annually; the presenters said the program has not been solely city‑funded and has relied heavily on private grants and ARPA dollars.

Crystal, the city's budget summary included the following specifics: Goodwill began a contract with a little over $230,000 in fall 2024; Tulsa Response began under a $300,000 ARPA contract and has an additional $300,000 in grant funding that the presenters said carries them to December 2026. The city requested a $150,000 supplemental allocation to extend Goodwill's contract for six additional months and to demonstrate city investment to help leverage private and grant funds. Deandre Hayes said the $150,000 request represents half of the city contribution the presenters believe will help secure the remainder from other partners.

Committee members asked for more financial detail and operational capacity metrics. Councilor Gilpin requested a multi‑year revenue and expense statement and a forecast for two years; presenters agreed to provide two years backward‑looking financials plus a forecast and details on private funding sources. Councilors also asked for metrics on capacity (how many clients can be served at full scale), referral sources and attendance rates; presenters said roughly 35–40% of scheduled clients attend an appointment, virtual options exist, and the program serves about 1,000 unduplicated clients per fiscal year with roughly 1,900 counseling sessions annually.

Provider remarks: Marcella Swenson, executive director of Tulsa Response, and Hugh (program manager) described front‑line work and complementary services such as SNAP and Medicaid enrollment, free tax filing and municipal court co‑location. Marcella Swenson cited the value of small savings and single interventions over time: \"That $45 cut down by 25, you save $45 and what you gonna do? Put that into a savings account.\" Hugh described common nonessential expenses the program helps clients reduce (phone or internet plans), which feed into clients' capacity to save.

Presenters emphasized partnerships with municipal court, Tulsa Housing Authority Family Self‑Sufficiency program and other referral networks. They said the municipal court partnership places a counselor on‑site three days a week to help people reduce fines; the municipal court portion was funded separately and could lose on‑site coverage if Goodwill's contract lapses after July 1 without new funding.

Action requested: presenters formally asked the committee to consider a $150,000 supplemental appropriation to support FEC operations through mid‑2026 while additional grant and private funding are pursued. No formal committee vote was recorded in the transcript. Staff agreed to provide requested follow‑up financials (detailed revenues/expenses, private funding sources, capacity metrics and referral statistics).

Ending: Committee members expressed support for further information and suggested outreach to neighborhood, school and social‑service partners to boost program referrals and attendance.","City officials and FEC providers described program outcomes — debt reduction, savings and credit improvements — and asked the committee for a $150,000 city contribution to help sustain Goodwill's FEC contract through a fund balance period while staff pursue additional grants and private support.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6563856,"Chief medical officer briefs committee on proposed 2025–26 medical control board budget",0,752000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3320000-acdedfb30b58a6cb744410998201c11b&start=752&end=752","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3320000-acdedfb30b58a6cb744410998201c11b/thumbnail_752000.jpg","/articles/6563856/Tulsa/Tulsa-County/Oklahoma/Chief-medical-officer-briefs-committee-on-proposed-202526-medical-control-board-budget","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6563856-bb3033cf7f43d6e7a766d93a6aa96ff2/orig.mp4?Expires=1770450742&Signature=PHkbeHBIjzYl3ne7kNqJxxWVCFMp9TfYJC69zKkRrlVNQVFh-B5Swacqgj3G2uqEP2bGqepFjvO4waClUYbRzR9yrQqSWSEmg4IYcRYGOkm76zXt1jpic9n3NwlzLx7ZcsDpJ9CFZtTURtP7JOG3WQDhDjCeTRfzZ7suuN1hPMr78IVB77nIg6P9tTIJjDQVEVnXAkKol2vCwYfikTHRQX6PDOyQO3bA4~MUKN6MbfEzoWrE2y5TXhvGUm-8tkIEUGdnHvt~Yq~48RGzT-O2HprXDCHNWk6xpY9k6Psf48XetxafScoZiv0y5NigTyEYuL-8vs4le90M8nWu7xcUKg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Dr. Jeffrey Goodloe, chief medical officer, told the Tulsa Urban and Economic Development Committee on May 14 that the medical control board is seeking the committee's consideration of the proposed 2025–26 medical control board budget while stressing clinical improvements and cost restraint.

Goodloe said the EMS system has adopted new cardiac monitors, defibrillators and airway-management tools and described a recent on-scene whole-blood transfusion for a trauma patient as an example of improved capabilities. \"We are in a good place, in our overall EMS, system,\" he said. He described the board's approach as \"very, very careful with cost conservation\" and said the proposed budget keeps expenses flat outside of \"very small labor adjustments.\" The budget includes a 2.5% pay increase for full‑time personnel and funding to hire a part‑time 1099 data‑entry position to support the cardiac arrest database.

The committee heard that the cardiac arrest registry has grown substantially; Goodloe referenced a rise from the low hundreds to roughly a thousand resuscitations annually and described continued growth in case volume that requires additional data support to maintain oversight and quality improvement.

Councilor Bellis asked how Medicaid reimbursements factor into the oversight funding. Goodloe said detailed reimbursement structure would be addressed by the CFO for MSAA CQI but added broadly that government payers (Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE) currently reimburse below the cost of care and that the commercial insurance cohort currently carries a large share of the health‑care safety net. He quantified grants and program funding: \"79.5% of our budget comes from MSAA CQI funding,\" and said only a marginal city contribution is expected, with any city costs included in the Tulsa Fire Department budget.

Dr. Patrick Cody, identified by Goodloe as a member of the medical oversight team, was introduced as the physician who focuses on innovative and alternative response programs including behavioral health and opioid‑use disorder responses. Goodloe and the committee emphasized the board's interest in keeping medical oversight costs low while maintaining clinical capability.

No formal vote or motion on adoption of the 2025–26 medical control board budget was recorded in the committee discussion portion of the transcript; the item was presented for review and committee questions.

The committee did not take a recorded final action during this meeting; staff and medical oversight leaders offered to supply additional budget detail as requested.

Ending: The committee moved on after questions; no ordinance or adoption vote appears in the transcript segment provided.","Dr. Jeffrey Goodloe told the Urban and Economic Development Committee that EMS clinical capabilities have expanded and the proposed medical control board budget aims to remain largely flat aside from modest labor changes and a new data-support position; much of the oversight budget is covered by MSAA CQI funding rather than city general funds.","actionData","errors"]
