Summary

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.

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.
