Mayor and Unions Reach Agreement |
Mayor Kathy Taylor announced today the City of Tulsa has reached agreements with the Fraternal Order of Police No. 93 and the Tulsa Firefighters Local 176 on contract amendments which will ensure the City can meet the Fiscal Year 2009-2010 budget objectives, as passed by the City Council in a 5-4 vote last week.
"Realizing the serious financial situation the City finds itself in due to its over reliance on a volatile revenue source - sales taxes - the Fraternal Order of Police No. 93 stepped up and agreed to support, allowing each officer to take 64 hours of furlough time and return to the City the amount equal to the value of those days through a direct payroll deduction," said Taylor.
"The FOP and Firefighters have found solutions that ensure there is no negative impact on public safety and I thank them for their cooperation," said Taylor.
The contract amendments must be ratified by the membership of the unions.
"This will ensure we are able to graduate and continue the employment of our newly trained police cadets at graduation tomorrow and avoid permanent layoffs that would impact public safety," said FOP President Phil Evans.
"The police department has clearly demonstrated they are a part of the City of Tulsa team and want to do their part to ensure the financial stability of Tulsa during this economic downturn," said Tulsa police chief Ron Palmer. "I am proud of our team."
The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME Local 1180), which represents City labor employees, continues discussions with the City on a limited number of non-salary contract amendments; however, the AFSCME employees will take 64 hours of furlough as outlined in the budget.

April 6-24 Is Amnesty Period for Parking Ticket Holders |
Tulsa Mayor Kathy Taylor today announced an amnesty period, from April 6 through April 24, in which motorists with outstanding parking citations can pay their fines without paying late fees or court costs.
“With more than $2.25 million in outstanding parking tickets, we want to give Tulsa drivers a chance to pay their fines, without additional late fees or court costs, before more intensive collection efforts are launched,” the mayor said.
Anyone who believes they may have one or more outstanding parking citation, but has misplaced the actual citation or does not know the number, can call 596-7761 to determine if they have. They should have their license tag number available when calling.
The amnesty does not apply to citations for moving violations or other muncipal tickets or warrants; only to parking tickets.
Tulsa Municipal Courts officials report that there are $2.2 million in unpaid parking tickets outstanding.
Payment of outstanding parking citations may be made at the cashier’s windows at City Hall in the One Technology Center, 175 E. 2nd Street. Payments can be made in cash, money order, personal check or with Mastercard or Visa credit and debit cards.
Anyone who believes they have overdue parking tickets but does not know the citation numbers or how many tickets are outstanding can go to the cashier’s window with license tag information and the cashier can locate unpaid citations for the vehicle tag number.
