General Obligation Bond 2020
Capital Improvement Projects sales tax extension
Frequently Asked Questions
What is this, when is it and who can vote?
Registered voters who reside within the city limits of Bartlesville will have the opportunity to decide funding for several proposed community projects and other improvements during elections set for Aug. 25. Voters will decide passage of a General Obligation Bond Issue and an extension of the half-cent Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) sales tax.
Will approval of this bond issue increase my taxes?
No. Approval of these projects will not result in an increase in taxes. G.O. bonds are funded through ad valorem, or property taxes, which are paid by Bartlesville property owners. CIP funds come from the half-cent CIP sales tax. The City’s mil levy would remain at 15 with approval of the G.O. Bond Issue, which would have no impact on ad valorem taxes. Approval of the CIP extension would result in no change in sales tax.
How much will this cost?
Voters will consider projects proposed for G.O. Bond funding in four categories: Public Safety Buildings and Equipment, Municipal Buildings and Equipment, Streets and Bridges, and Parks and Recreation. G.O. Bond projects total $16.4 million, which includes the “cost to issue” the bonds (COI), and will be issued over a period of three years. CIP projects total $13.7 million. Approval would extend the tax, supported by voters since 1990, for another five years.
How are the projects decided?
At any given time, the City of Bartlesville has a working list of capital needs that total over $100 million. City staff and citizen committees narrow the list and then the City Council is tasked with determining the bond amount and deciding which projects will be put before voters in an election. This process was recently completed, and now it’s time for the voters to decide.
How much are these projects by category?
The funding breaks down as follows:
Public safety buildings and equipment — $6,326,500
Municipal buildings and equipment — $4,686,500
Streets and bridges — $13,373,500
Parks and recreation — $5,353,500
Drainage — $375,000
What are “70 percent” and “30 percent” projects?
Oklahoma law requires that 70 percent of the projects in each category be specified in the ordinance calling for a G.O. bond election. The law also requires that these projects be completed with the bond funds. The remaining 30 percent are “discretionary” and do not have to be specified in the ordinance, nor is completion required. However, the City of Bartlesville has completed all projects identified as “30 percent projects” in the past.
While this law does not apply to the CIP election, the City handles these projects in a similar manner in an effort to simplify the process as much as possible and maintain complete transparency.
To view details of projects to be completed using bond proceeds dating back to 2005, see Bond Transparency Act of 2017 – Notice (Bartlesville 08-25-2020 election)

This would fund a new radio system that will replace the older VHF radio system and improve coverage locally and statewide for police officers.

Adding a local 800 MHz site will also benefit other state agencies such as the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation and the Oklahoma Department of Transportation. These agencies would use the same system, once it is built in Bartlesville. A local digital trunking radio system will provide more radio channels for local public safety to use in Bartlesville on a repeater system.
