Broken Arrow to contribute up to $40,000 to 101st & Mingo intersection project with Tulsa County
Summary
City leaders said Broken Arrow will participate with Tulsa County and neighboring jurisdictions on improvements to the 101st Street and Mingo Road intersection and committed up to $40,000 toward the city’s share under an interjurisdictional agreement.
Broken Arrow officials told listeners in a Jan. 6 meeting recap that the city has agreed to partner with Tulsa County and neighboring jurisdictions to improve the 101st Street and Mingo Road intersection near the city boundary and that the city has committed up to $40,000 as its cost share.
"On our CERA, what we've committed to do is to pay up to $40,000 for our part of that intersection," Vice Mayor Johnny Parks said, describing the city's financial contribution under the intergovernmental arrangement. Parks and City communications director Aaron McCullough said four entities are involved in the project and that Tulsa County plans to carry out the work later this year.
Why it matters: The intersection sits at or near the edge of city limits and serves traffic for both jurisdictions. Parks framed the commitment as part of a pattern of cooperative infrastructure projects the city has completed with neighboring counties and cities.
Scope and timing: McCullough said the county has planned the project and that Broken Arrow's $40,000 commitment is intended to signal the city will fulfill its share and help ensure future cooperation. The transcript refers to four entities involved in the project and an intergovernmental agreement labeled 'CERA'; the transcript does not include a formal vote or recorded motion on the commitment.
Next steps: Tulsa County is expected to schedule the project work this year; the transcript directs residents to the city website for agendas and archived video for more details. The city did not provide a recorded vote tally or ordinance number related to the commitment in the meeting recap.
