5 issues in public safety with low priority
Police division renovation delays
Wrong-sized ballistic doors shipped to the Gilcrease and Riverside police station renovations, adding 114 days to the project. It costs taxpayers nothing extra, but the upgrades arrive later.
Consular driver licenses for immigrant residents
A member proposed asking the Mexican consulate to issue driver licenses to immigrants who can't travel home to get one, since Tulsa police accept foreign licenses. The idea will be explored by the immigration committee.
Police facility security upgrades
A modest change order adds ballistic-rated doors and hardware at the Gilcrease police division, mostly delayed by equipment lead times.
Mayor's Office of Health and Well-Being grant
A $30,000 private grant will fund community focus groups, pilot programs, stipends, and data work for the Mayor's Office of Health and Well-Being.
Child care home building code amendment
A Bellis-sponsored ordinance would let licensed family child care homes follow residential code instead of installing sprinkler systems, matching state law. First reading done; final vote January 21.
