The Public Meeting Index

The Budget and Special Projects Committee met on Wednesday, September 23, 2026, at 1:00 PM (One Technology Center, Room 411) to consider three ordinances. The meeting ran approximately 15 minutes over schedule and included extended debate on a proposed ordinance creating an Office of Independent Review and Oversight of Public Safety. No final votes were taken on that item; it was continued to a later meeting. Discussion Items Item 2 – Ordinance amending the FY2026‑2027 budget to reallocate $750,000 within the 2023 Temporary Sales Tax Fund for a River Parks Maintenance Building. - The ordinance makes unencumbered and unexpended appropriations of $750,000 between projects. Staff confirmed that all projects would receive their originally approved amounts. No questions or objections were raised, and the item advanced without further debate. Item 3 – Ordinance amending the FY2026‑2027 budget to appropriate $9,055.71 in grant revenue from the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food, and Forestry – Forestry Services (Inflation Reduction Act Urban and Community Forestry Program) for tree planting expenses. - Councilor Dutton asked how many trees the grant would purchase; staff could not provide a specific number. Councilor Bellis noted that a neighboring city (Fluida) had adopted a policy requiring a certain percentage of trees planted on city property to be native species, and suggested exploring a similar requirement. Councilor Bellis also mentioned that during work on landscaping adjustments for new builds, a native species list was developed but no percentage requirement existed. The grant is overseen by sewer operations. The item was approved without objection. Item 4 – Ordinance adopting new Title 16 (Tulsa Revised Ordinances) titled “Independent Review and Oversight of Public Safety,” creating the Office of Independent Review and Oversight of Public Safety and a Director position, a civilian oversight board, and establishing powers, duties, and reporting requirements. - Councilor Hall‑Harper and Councilor Decter Wright presented the ordinance, emphasizing that it had evolved over a decade of work and was broader than a 2024 Oklahoma City resolution—covering police, fire, 911, emergency management, animal control, security, and code enforcement. The proposed structure includes a full‑time Director (not a former city employee) and an 11‑member civilian board (one from each council district plus two mayoral appointees). The office would review completed investigations and make non‑binding recommendations; it would have no subpoena or disciplinary authority. - Councilor Gilbert (Chair) expressed that she could not support “independent oversight” and instead favored a civilian advisory board. She noted she had been working on her own proposal and requested more time for collaboration. - Councilor Bangle opposed the ordinance, stating he does not believe in “Monday morning quarterbacking” public safety personnel and has confidence in the current leadership chain. He called the proposal “overly expansive” and “symbolic.” - Councilor Bellis strongly supported the ordinance, arguing that it would provide proactive policy analysis, trend identification, and public transparency—functions currently missing. She noted that over the past decade she has never seen a policy change result from critical incidents, and that the city has lost ground on data transparency since the 2016 ransomware attack. - Councilor Dutton supported the measure, citing the 2016 Tulsa Commission on Community Policing (which included then‑Deputy Chief Jonathan Brooks) and a police scorecard showing only 39% public confidence in TPD. She stated that citizens have not had a meaningful voice and that the council’s only real oversight tool is legislation like this ordinance. - Councilor Archie indicated she was not opposed in principle but wanted to hear from new Chief Jonathan Brooks and to allow collaboration between Councilors Hall‑Harper and Gilbert. She also noted that Councilors Lakin and Bush were absent due to travel, and that misinformation about the proposal had circulated. - Councilor Hall‑Harper replied that she is open to collaboration but is “sick of the procrastination” over the past decade. She pointed out that every police chief since 2016 has asked for time to make changes, yet systemic issues persist. She emphasized that the ordinance is not about lack of confidence but about building trust and accountability across all public safety departments. - City Attorney Jack stated that the ordinance was carefully drafted to comply with collective bargaining agreements and legal constraints, avoiding subpoena power or disciplinary authority—unlike a previous version that was deemed impermissible. - Councilor Decter Wright noted that the ordinance includes a qualifying‑event threshold (e.g., discharges of a firearm, in‑custody deaths, felony‑level conduct) to limit the scope of reviews, and that the office would have no power to impose discipline or direct personnel actions. Key Outcomes - Items 2 and 3 were approved without recorded opposition and will move to the full City Council for second reading on September 30, 2026. - Item 4 (the public safety oversight ordinance) was not voted on. The committee agreed to continue the discussion to a future meeting (likely October 14, 2026) to allow for collaboration between Councilors Hall‑Harper and Gilbert, and to enable input from Chief Jonathan Brooks and absent council members. No firm deadline was set, but Councilor Hall‑Harper stressed that the process should not be delayed indefinitely.

The Historic Preservation Commission convened on September 23, 2026, with a quorum present. The meeting included approvals of funding for training and conferences, a discussion on proposed Section 106 revisions, and updates on various preservation projects. All motions passed unanimously. Consent Calendar - Approval of Minutes: The final minutes of the regular meeting held August 26, 2026, were approved by voice vote. - Funding for Nevada State Historic Preservation Office Training: Approved $16,400 for HPC members and staff to attend the Nevada State Historic Preservation Office Commission Assistance and Mentoring Program Training, held September 24–26, 2026 (offered in-person and virtually). - Funding for Old Spanish Trail National Conference: Approved up to $2,000 for the Historic Preservation Officer to attend the Old Spanish Trail National Conference in Kanab, Utah, October 15–18, 2026. Staff noted actual costs would be lower (conference $265, hotel $500), with unused funds returned to HPC funding. Public Comments & Testimony - No public comments were made during the initial public comment period or during citizens' participation. Discussion Items - Section 106 Revisions Discussion: Staff (C Brent) explained that proposed revisions to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act remain under White House review, with no updates. Staff described the city's current 106 review processes: primarily for FAA cell phone tower installations (consultants review, city provides comments) and HUD-funded housing projects (lead abatement, roofs, interior work). Staff estimated handling at least 50 such reviews per year, each taking at most 30 minutes, and noted only one property on the historic register in the past seven years. Marble Manor was cited as a large project where mitigation (documentation, oral histories) was pursued despite inability to stop demolition. - Commissioner Laramie expressed concern that losing the ability to comment on federal projects would be a significant issue, even if current impact is minimal, and emphasized the value of having a voice in future projects. - Commissioner Stodal noted that the city's voice in Section 106 reviews is important for future, unknown developments, and supported drafting a resolution, possibly to be sent to city council. - Commissioner Harper provided context that categorical exclusions apply to many projects, but proposed changes could cause future delays, and shared information about OIRA meetings and potential timelines. - Commissioner Grimmer supported a letter from the commission specifically (rather than council approval) and raised questions about the commission's ability to comment on projects outside Las Vegas (e.g., in other cities), though this was noted as a legal question. - Commissioner Levine argued the commission has an ethical obligation to lend its voice broadly in support of maintaining Section 106 input, and suggested the letter be broad enough to be considered by city council. - Staff offered to draft a letter or resolution for the next meeting, noting that individual commissioners can also submit personal comments via the National Trust site. - Director's Updates: No updates reported. - Project Updates: - National Park Service approved updates to the Old Mormon Fort National Register nomination, now signed by the Keeper of the Register. - Johnny Toko's Gym consultant will present a first draft at the October meeting. - The SHIPO State Conference is happening this weekend; virtual access available on request. - A grant request was submitted for an arts district historic context survey and Floyd Lamb Park information signs; contract is being drafted. - A cleanup effort at Floyd Lamb Park is planned; some buildings may require contractor due to hazards. - The exhibit on desert peoples at City Hall closes mid-November. - Media Report: No comments from commissioners. - Future Agenda Items: Commissioner Grimmer requested that the Section 106 letter be drafted as an action item for the next meeting, noting public comment periods can be short. Also requested inclusion of a market feasibility report (if available) and consideration of newer commission members. Key Outcomes - Approved minutes and both funding requests (all unanimously). - Directed staff to draft a letter or resolution regarding Section 106 revisions, with a preference for broad language supporting preservation and community input, to be brought back as an action item at the next meeting. - Acknowledged the passing of former Commissioner Donald Hotchkiss, who served since November 2, 2011; a card was available for signatures. - No other formal actions taken.

The Public Health, Safety and Equity Committee met on September 23, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. under the chairmanship of Councilmember Jason Chavez. The agenda was lengthy, with every item pulled for discussion. Chair Chavez opened with remarks about the mayor’s directive limiting city staff attendance and stressed the committee’s oversight role. The meeting included a presentation on school‑based clinics, extensive debate on a new mobile crisis response contract, approval of multiple grants and contracts, and a resolution calling for the removal of automated license plate reader cameras operated by Hennepin County and the University of Minnesota. Public Comments & Testimony - No public comments or testimony were offered during the meeting. The chair noted that public participation is enabled through live broadcast and captioning. School‑Based Clinics Presentation - Polly Yang (manager of School Health Services) and Lisa Dornick (clinic manager/nurse practitioner) presented on the nine school‑based clinics serving Minneapolis high schools. The clinics have operated since the 1970s and provide medical, mental health, and health education services. During the 2025‑2026 school year, they recorded 10,000 visits from 2,231 students; 47% of students were on public insurance, 26% uninsured, and 17% non‑billable. Staff highlighted the program’s role as a safety net, keeping students in school. Questions covered HIPAA/FERPA compliance, medication dispensing, and the potential closure of Longfellow High School. Discussion Item: Mobile Crisis Response Contract (Community Bridges Inc.) - Deputy Commissioner Jared Jeffries presented a proposal to transition from the Behavioral Crisis Response (BCR) pilot to a Mobile Crisis Response (MCR) program with an expanded scope covering behavioral health and livability calls. The selected vendor is Community Bridges Inc., a national organization with experience in several states. The contract would be up to $5.9 million annually from January 1, 2027 through December 31, 2028, with three optional one‑year extensions. Many councilmembers raised concerns about the lack of an implementation plan, potential discontinuity of services, data on complaints against Community Bridges, the vendor’s familiarity with Hennepin County partners, and the inclusion of livability calls in the scope. Chair Chavez moved to delay the item to the October 7 committee meeting; the motion passed unanimously.
