Councilors announce warming stations, street project meeting and community outreach events
Summary
Councilors used Jan. 8 announcements to note human-trafficking awareness events, a community meeting on East 91st Street widening, a Jenks-area meeting on a proposed zoning change, and temporary warming stations open during winter weather. The council provided locations and ways for residents and organizations to offer support.
Councilors provided several community announcements during the Jan. 8 Tulsa City Council meeting.
Councilor (title not introduced on the record) reiterated a proclamation naming Jan. 11 Human Trafficking Awareness Day and noted the Oklahoma Coalition Against Human Trafficking and related partners will observe Wear Blue Day and host awareness activities. Separately, Councilor Decker Wright (recorded as 'Director Wright' in the transcript) announced a community event at Hardisty Library on Saturday at 10 a.m. featuring a resource fair and a panel on domestic violence and stalking, with community partners including the Family Safety Center, Tulsa Opera and local legal-aid and advocacy organizations. Wright also said an engineering meeting about a two-year widening project on East 91st Street between South Mingo and South Memorial will be held Jan. 16 at 6 p.m. at Hardisty Library.
Councilor Kels Archie announced a Jan. 14 community meeting at Jenks Middle School commons (6 p.m.) for residents near 101st and Riverside about a proposed zoning change and possible development at that site. Councilor Kelsey Dutton briefed the council on winter-weather sheltering: warming stations at the Tulsa Day Center and the Rose Bowl site were open through Saturday because of expected inclement weather; the Rose Bowl location was described as roughly 11th and Memorial. Dutton asked churches or organizations interested in providing overflow space to register via the city website's warming-stations dropdown and said crews will be out salting roads. She also listed donation and referral options for people in need and cited Housing Solutions Tulsa for outreach referrals.
These announcements provided dates, locations and contact steps for residents who wish to attend community meetings, access winter warming services, or contribute donations and volunteer space.
