The Broken Arrow Municipal Authority met on Tuesday, February 3, 2026, immediately following the City Council meeting (which began at 6:30 p.m.), to consider a consent agenda and hear remarks on the recent winter storm response. All agenda items were approved unanimously.
A motion to approve the consent agenda was made, seconded, and passed by unanimous roll call vote (Trustee Green’s vote was initially not recorded, but was subsequently confirmed as yes). No items were removed from the consent agenda.
