City Recruiting Volunteers for Removal of Illegal Signs
Illegal signs litter the rights-of-way along city streets. The
City of Tulsa is seeking volunteers to help with regular removal of
such signs.
A training session for the first 12 volunteers is scheduled at 9
a.m. on Aug. 21 at City Hall at One Technology Center, 175 E. 2nd
Street. Volunteers will get classroom instruction, then go to the
field with professional inspectors. Tulsa Beautification Foundation
and Quik Trip Corp. are providing refreshments and coupons
for sandwiches at Quik Trips.
Volunteers must register by Aug. 14 in order to attend the
training session.
It is the latest step in the City's ongoing efforts to control
illegal signage within city limits.
The City's Inspection Services section has added a Sign and Site
Administration program through the aid of a grant from the Tulsa
Beautification Foundation. However, due to the overwhelming
amount of illegal signs, additional assistance is needed to control
Tulsa's nearly 200 square miles of land.
Volunteers are expected to:
- Complete volunteer training course
- Sign liability release forms
- Sign an oath to adhere to City ordinances, rules and
procedures.
- Have a valid driver's license
- Commit to a land area and number of daytime hours for
working
- Submit to a background check.
Volunteers will be working with the City's professional Sign and
Site Inspectors in specific areas.
Application forms and additional information can be found on the
City's website:

Inspections supervisor at 596-9654.
