Priority Goals and Objectives

Vision Statement:

MayorDeweyBartlett-90pxAs Mayor, I am committed to stay the course to create an environment that fuels job retention and growth; reprioritize and streamline local government for efficiency and effectiveness, eliminate substandard housing and improve our neighborhoods, and focus on public safety and justice. The top priority of my administration is to have an open, accountable and transparent government; one that includes respectful interaction between city and county leaders.

We must place the needs of our community first and work together to provide an effective city government which contributes to the quality of life for all Tulsans.

Tulsa's greatest assets are the talent of our people, a low cost of living, quality of life defined by the city's beauty and thriving arts and sports venues, and our abundant natural resources.

I am excited about the direction our city is going. My administration will deliver improved processes and plans that will move our city forward and create reliable government services.

Guiding Principles:

In crafting this vision, there are three guiding principles.

  1. To maintain a vision based on principles and strategies that encourage flexibility, creativity, and continuous improvement.
  2. To continuously check that my vision is rooted in the values of Tulsans.
  3. To communicate my vision with optimism that these are principles that are not only worthy of pursuit, but are attainable.
