Tulsa Mayor Monroe Nichols on Wednesday night presented his proposed fiscal year 2026 budget to city council. The proposed budget is just over $1.1 billion and funds everything from police and fire to parks and street improvements. City council has until June 23 to discuss, modify and ultimately approve the budget before fiscal year 2026 begins July 1.

Four zip codes in the Tulsa area are eligible for money from the state to fortify their homes. The Oklahoma Insurance Department has announced nine zip codes for its OKReady program, including 74106, 74055, 74066 and 74017. Those zip codes are in north Tulsa, Owasso, Sapulpa and Claremore. The state selected these zip codes because severe storms have significantly affected them. Residents in these zip codes may receive a grant of up to $10,000 per approved household for home improvements.

Under the current agreement, ICE detainees in the Tulsa County jail must be released after 72 hours. @TCSO wants to be able to hold the detainees until they're deported or have a court date. https://t.co/oJLbSibiMB
Some Tulsa officials say you have to visit city hall to file a housing or public accommodation discrimination complaint. Others say you can do it on the city website, which doesn't work. Either way, discrimination complaints aren't getting filed. https://t.co/Dcd2FV013s
A lack of money from HUD to make up for rent increases has put 690 tenants in Tulsa at risk. Also, the housing authority can’t reach HUD. And there’s a good chance it’s because the people who help them with stuff like this have been cut. https://t.co/KkC5eC00A2
