Special Called Meeting of the Shawnee Board of City Commissioners – August 26, 2026

The Shawnee Board of City Commissioners held a special called meeting on August 26, 2026, at 7:00 AM in Commission Chambers at City Hall, 16 West 9th Street, Shawnee, Oklahoma. The agenda contained only a real property matter: authorization of an executive session under 25 O.S. §307(B)(3) and subsequent action on the proposed property transaction. No meeting minutes were available, and the raw transcript is partially garbled; names and certain details are therefore uncertain.

Call to Order and Quorum

• The meeting was called to order and a quorum was declared. A roll call was taken, but the transcript does not clearly record all commissioners' names.

Executive Session – Agenda Item 1

• Commissioners considered a motion to enter executive session to discuss the sale, purchase, lease, acquisition, or appraisal of real property described as a tract of land in the Southeast Quarter (SE/4) of Section 36, Township 11 North, Range 3 East, Indian Meridian, Shawnee, Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma. The tract contains an area of 13.7631 acres, more or less.
• The motion to hold the executive session was made, seconded, and carried. A roll call vote was taken, but the tally is not discernible from the transcript.

Action After Executive Session – Agenda Item 2

• Following the executive session, city officials presented a tripartite coordination/disposition agreement among the City of Shawnee, Pottawatomie County, and the Citizen Potawatomi Nation relating to the acquisition of the real property described in the agenda. The purpose was described as a joint economic development initiative. The transcript spells some names differently, such as "Platawell County" and "Citizen Power Automation," but the agenda and context indicate Pottawatomie County and Citizen Potawatomi Nation.
• A motion was made and seconded to approve the tripartite coordination agreement among the City of Shawnee, Pottawatomie County, and the Citizen Potawatomi Nation for the purchase of the real property for the joint economic development initiative. The motion appears to have carried, and the meeting was adjourned immediately afterward.

Key Outcomes

• Approved entry into executive session for real property discussions under 25 O.S. §307(B)(3).
• Approved the tripartite coordination/disposition agreement with Pottawatomie County and the Citizen Potawatomi Nation to purchase the described 13.7631-acre tract for a joint economic development initiative.
• No public comments were heard; this was a special-called meeting with no other business.
• Adjourned after the vote.
