Bartlesville Municipal Authority adopts $114.4 million budget for 2026–27
Summary
At a May 4 special meeting the Bartlesville Municipal Authority unanimously approved a $114,401,451 FY2026–27 budget presented by Alicia Shelton, accounting and financial supervisor; trustees also approved the May 6, 2025 special meeting minutes and then adjourned.
The Bartlesville Municipal Authority adopted its fiscal year 2026–27 budget and approved prior special-meeting minutes during a May 4 special meeting.
Alicia Shelton, the authority’s accounting and financial supervisor, presented the proposed authority budget and told trustees, “The total appropriations for the authority as a whole are $114,401,451.” Shelton said the BMA budget was considered during the city’s budget discussions but must be approved separately because the BMA is organized as a Title 60 public trust.
Trustees moved and seconded the budget adoption. On the roll call, each trustee voted “Aye,” and the motion passed. Earlier in the meeting trustees also moved, seconded and unanimously approved the BMA special meeting minutes of May 6, 2025.
The presiding officer opened trustee comments and inquiries after the votes; trustees indicated there were none. With no further business, the authority adjourned the special meeting.

What it means
The authority’s adopted budget sets the BMA’s appropriations for the coming fiscal year and is separate from the city’s municipal budget process because the BMA operates as a public trust under Title 60. The meeting record does not specify departmental line-item breakdowns or implementation steps; those details were not provided in the presentation and remain "not specified."
