Town Hall 1 [email protected] The Oklahoma Academy is a statewide nonprofit, nonpartisan, membership organization founded by Governor Henry Bellmon in 1967, and revitalized by him in 1985, to bring public attention to policy issues, provide objective, thorough research and act as a catalyst for positive change. The Mission of the Oklahoma Academy is to identify issues facing Oklahoma, provide well-researched, objective information, foster nonpartisan collaboration, develop responsible recommendations, and encourage community and legislative action. The Vision of the Oklahoma Academy is to empower Oklahomans to improve their quality of life through effective public policy development and implementation. The Academy Process identifies areas of need and problems facing Oklahoma, conducts research on identified critical issues, and develops long range goals, consensus recommendations, and agendas for action. Through the Town Hall conference process, forums and summits, the Academy increases citizen awareness, encourages civic engagement and sets the stage for thoughtfully improving Oklahoma.

Why are these municipalities important? They are important because they are the form of government closest to the people and provide the bulk of publicly funded daily services that citizens require. These services require a certain amount of money and/or a certain amount of efficiency, thus a term your will hear called “revenues and efficiencies”. You will discuss it in the Town Hall. Read the article by Carolyn Stager and the Task Force of Revenue and Efficiencies organized by the Oklahoma Municipal League. Revenues (Tax Tax Spend Spend): The money is generated from taxes and fees. Every discussion we have will likely be “two degrees of freedom” removed from taxes of one form or another. The Appendix lists tax “burden” state rankings by type of tax. A finding is that: “If Oklahomans carried a state/local tax burden simply equal to the national average effort - Oklahoma state government and municipalities would have access to an additional $1.3 billion every year.” Consider the 2011 and 2012 projected shortfalls in cities and the state against this. Efficiencies (Cut Cut Trim Trim): The George Kaiser Family Foundation provided $400,000 to analyze efficiencies of municipal government and services in Tulsa. The study was produced by KPMG LLC and the final draft released to the public on September 9. The 282 page report suggested that the City of Tulsa had 1,134 opportunities to increase revenues and/or increase efficiencies. This is a template for all communities, large and small. The Municipal Challenge (Plop Plop Fizz Fizz): It is the ultimate challenge for municipal government to swim against the currents created by the federal and government claims on the tax base and demands via unfunded mandates; labor and contractor demands for fair and equitable treatment; and taxpayer demands for efficiency and service. This is high level multi-tasking! This is our Town Hall. © 2010 The Oklahoma Academy Town Hall 3 [email protected] MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENTS Oklahoma perspectives from ...
