Letter from the Mayor

Dear Fellow Tulsan,

A city's government exists to serve its citizens, all of whom should have direct access to the resources available. This Neighborhood Resource Guide is designed to answer questions most frequently asked at community meetings and through calls to the Customer Care Center and Neighborhood Liaisons.

Living in this city leads to a great admiration of its rich heritage and progressive thinking. We want Tulsa to succeed, but success doesn't just happen. It takes every neighborhood of Tulsa doing its part to turn our visions into reality. Knowledge and enthusiasm are vitally important in accomplishing great things. The Neighborhood Resource Guide is a tool for your neighborhood to use to reap the benefits of living in the city of Tulsa. I hope you will use the services of the neighborhood liaisons in developing new associations, strengthening existing neighborhood groups, identifying needs and resolving issues.

In addition to using this guide, you will want to visit several Web sites developed over the last few years by City and regional organizations. These Web sites give comprehensive overviews of the scope of services offered to neighborhoods. Many meeting agendas also are available on these sites, listed below for reference:

City of Tulsa: www.cityoftulsa.org
Tulsa City Council: www.tulsacouncil.org
INCOG/Planning and Land Use: www.incog.org

If you do not find the answer to your questions through any of these resources, you may call the Customer Care Center at (918) 596-2100 for personal assistance Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. (excluding holidays). Questions or comments received through the Customer Care Center receive top priority by City personnel.

Sincerely,
Dewey Bartlett, Jr.
Mayor of Tulsa
