City Auditor

[edit]

Cathy Carter was re-elected without opposition to another two-year term.[3] She was first elected in 2013 and has not faced an election opponent since.[2]

Charter questions

[edit]

There were three proposed city charter amendments on the ballot in the August election.[30] The Tulsa World endorsed all three of the proposed city charter amendments.[13] All three amendments were approved by voters in the August 23 election.[31]

Mayoral pay

[edit]

This charter amendment involves the pay for the Mayor of Tulsa. A 1990 addition to the city charter refers to mayors pay as $70,000 when the mayor of Tulsa's salary is actually $105,000 in 2022. The amendment would remove the set dollar amount of $70,000 from the city charter.[30]

The plain language description of the amendment from the city describes the measure as:

"This Charter amendment is a housekeeping measure. In 2001, the Mayor’s salary was set by ordinance at $105,000, but our Charter has language dating back to 1990 that still refers to the first Mayor’s annual salary of $70,000. Because this old language has created confusion as to what the Mayor’s salary actually is, this amendment simply removes this outdated and conflicting reference to the first Mayor’s salary being $70,000. If this amendment is approved, it will not change the Mayor’s salary."[32]

Candidate resident requirement

[edit]

This charter amendment involves setting the residency requirement for running for city office to 365 days. In order to file for mayor, city auditor, or city councillor the candidate must live in Tulsa or the city council district for 365 days prior to filing. Currently the residency requirement only requires the mayor and city auditor live in the city, while city councillors must live in their district for 90 days before running for office. An exception is included in the amendment for candidates whose residency is interrupted by redistricting.[30]

The plain language description of the amendment from the city describes the measure as:

"Currently our Charter provides that the Mayor and City Auditor must be Tulsa residents at the time they announce that they are running for office, but it does not require residency for any specific length of time. A candidate for City Council must be a resident in the district in which they are running for at least 90 days. This amendment would add a 365-day City of Tulsa residency requirement to run for Mayor or City Auditor and increase a Council candidates Council district residency requirement from 90 days to 365 days. This amendment also clarifies that, should a candidate’s Council district be changed when district boundaries are adjusted every 10 years due to a population shift, a candidate can still run for City Council in their new Council district."[32]

City Auditor term length

[edit]

This charter amendment involves increasing the city auditor's term length from 2 years to 4 years and staggering the elections with the 4-year mayoral terms. If passed, the 2026 city auditor election would be the first election using the new 4-year term.[30]

The plain language description of the amendment from the city describes the measure as:

"The City Auditor is elected city-wide and currently serves a 2-year term of office, the same as City Councilors. The Mayor is the only other office holder elected city-wide and serves a 4-year term. This Charter amendment would change the City Auditor’s term in office to 4 years beginning in December 2026 and would stagger the Auditor’s term so that the Mayor’s and Auditor’s elections and terms are offset by 2 years."[32]
