Tulsa city councilors may soon formalize a minimum portion to give the county out of a six-tenths of a cent Vision renewal.
Councilor G.T. Bynum thinks five-one hundredths, an amount county commissioners think is inadequate, is an appropriate floor to set and will actually give the county more money than the original tax.
"Now, not billions of dollars more, but more on an annual basis — in the millions — than they were in the original program," Bynum said.
Bynum said the city should also go in on county projects that would greatly benefit the city, such as work on an Air National Guard facility that would cost $5 to $7 million.
"But if we build that facility, the Department of Defense will come in and install simulators that are valued around $20 to $30 million, and it will bring pilots from all around the United States here to train," Bynum said.
Councilors may vote on a resolution this week.
