The nonprofit corporation created by a group of Tulsans will have 90 days after the city clerk approves its charter change petitions to circulate them. The goal is to get enough signatures - about 16,500 on each petition - to place the charter changes on the November 2011 municipal general election ballot. John Brock, a businessman who is the chairman of the group, said there is “overwhelming” belief throughout Tulsa that changing the form of government will end the discord between elected city officials.
