I've been asked to give a lecture to a civics class on City of Tulsa government. Below are the collection of links from which my presentation was drawn:
- Oklahoma Municipal Code (Oklahoma Statutes, Title XI, Cities and Towns)
- City of Tulsa charter (Municode)
- City of Tulsa ordinances (Municode)
- City of Tulsa executive orders
- City of Tulsa website
- Tulsa City Council website
- City of Tulsa Internal Audit Reports
- TGOV (televised council and authority, board, and commission meetings
- Tulsa City Council FB page, with meeting live-streams
- Fiscal Year 2022-23 Adopted Budget
- Fiscal Year 2023-24 Proposed Budget
- City of Tulsa campaign contribution reports
- Improve Our Tulsa proposed 2023 sales & property tax package
- Improve Our Tulsa 2023 sales tax ordinance
- Improve Our Tulsa 2023 "Brown Ordinance" -- vague list of project categories
- Tulsa Planning Office
- Tulsa zoning code
- City of Tulsa codes, Comprehensive Plan (PLANiTULSA 2010), and small-area plans

MORE perspective on local government and power dynamics:
- My April 2022 talk to City Elders on campaign finance in local elections, with links to supplementary reading.
- BatesLine's Tulsa City Hall category
- The Kaiser System, by Michael Mason: Mason approaches the topic with empathy and care as he exposes the groupthink, fear, and divisiveness created as a small group of people use immense wealth as leverage to control our community's civic direction.
- Tina Nettles's account of the revision of Tulsa's animal ordinance is a good case study in how Tulsa's authorities, boards, and commissions are filled with mediocrities, steered by bureaucrats, and indifferent to thoughtful citizen input.
