[OKGIS] City Boundaries

[May]

Yes, the data are posted at our website http://geo.ou.edu
 
However, our servers are down right now, and our IT support is working hard
to find a quick solution. Meanwhile, please send your data request to Ms.
Leah Nash (ldnash at ou.edu). OU has committed the fund for us to upgrade the
servers in the next 3-5 months. There will be a transition to move data and
programs to the new servers. Nevertheless, we will work to minimize any
inconvenience that may arise during the transition. If you have any
concerns, please let me know.

Isn't this now the official mapping purview of the Oklahoma Tax Commission
and mapped by OU? According to recent law or regulations, the Oklahoma Tax
Commission has been designated as the official agency that determines
corporate boundaries based on the info we as cities send them. If we let our
annexation ordinances get out of date with the Commission, then according to
that law the changes are not recognized - even for the propose of
determining ward boundaries for local elections. I think the Oklahoma
Municipal League has taken up this gavel to try to get this changed or
modified somehow. It used to be that we wanted the Tax Commission to have
our corporate boundaries for purposes of collecting local and franchise
taxes only and we had to deal with the US Census annually on any boundary
change.
 
I really thought these records we more up to date than 2003 - as I
understand the process, if a city gives the Commission evidence of a
boundary change, then the Commission has about 60-days to effectuate a
boundary change for the change to be "official" - cities I work with also
send notices of any such change to any affected business or utility.

I have the municipal boundaries file from the OSU Center for Geospatial
Information (tax commission data) but it appears not to have been updated
since 2003.  Does anyone know of a current city boundaries shapefile for the
state?  We are especially interested in Tulsa and Oklahoma City boundaries.

Thanks,
Katy Rich
