District Tours
Councilors have been touring each of the Council districts.
Councilor Phil Lakin recommended the tours, and said he wanted the
Council to visit all nine districts before the Mayor presents the
budget to the Council in May. The purpose of the tours is to
highlight the issues and assets of each district so Councilors can
better understand the needs of others' districts.
For more information on the tours, contact Jane Ziegler, jziegler@tulsacouncil.org.
