Special Call Meeting of Shawnee, Oklahoma Board of City Commissioners – June 10, 2026

The Shawnee, Oklahoma Board of City Commissioners held a special called meeting on June 10, 2026, at 2:30 PM in the Commission Chambers at City Hall, 16 West 9th Street. Mayor Eric Stephens presided, and a quorum was declared. Present were Mayor Stephens and Commissioners Ashley Fichtner, Mark Sehorn, and Lauren Richter; absent were Daniel Matthews, Greta Madson, and Chris Odneal. The only substantive agenda item was a proposed executive session; the motion to enter executive session failed, and the meeting was adjourned at 2:36 PM. The minutes state the meeting notice was posted on Monday, June 10, 2026, although that date was actually a Wednesday—an apparent conflict with the agenda. The raw transcript is fragmentary; attendance and votes are taken from the official minutes.

Discussion Items

• Item 1 – Executive session: The board considered a motion under 25 O.S. §307(B)(4) to hold an executive session to discuss confidential communications between the public body and its attorney concerning a pending investigation, claim, or action, if disclosure would seriously impair the public body’s ability to process the claim or conduct the proceeding. Commissioner Fichtner made the motion, seconded by Commissioner Richter. The motion failed by a vote of 3-1-0: Ayes – Fichtner, Richter, and Mayor Stephens; Nay – Sehorn; no abstentions.
• Item 2 – Matters from executive session: Because the executive session was not approved, no action was taken on this item.
• Item 3 – Adjournment: With no further business, the meeting was adjourned by power of the chair at 2:36 PM.

Key Outcomes

• The motion to enter executive session failed 3-1-0, so the board did not go into executive session.
• No action was taken on any confidential matter.
• The meeting adjourned at 2:36 PM.
