title
Consideration, discussion, and possible re-adoption of Ordinance No. 3901, an ordinance amending Section 16-12 of the Broken Arrow Code of Ordinances to add a new subsection addressing noise generated by places of public assembly located near residential property; Providing for severability; and declaring an emergency (procedural re-adoption due to publication oversight)

Background:
On December 16, 2025, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 3901 amending Section 16-12 of the Code of Ordinances to add a new, content-neutral, objective standard for amplified or music-based sound originating from places of public assembly located within close proximity to residential property. Due to an administrative oversight, the ordinance was not timely transmitted for newspaper publication as required for the ordinance to take effect. This agenda item is presented to cure that defect by passing the ordinance again without substantive changes and directing prompt publication following adoption. The ordinance retains the emergency clause and is intended to take effect upon passage, approval, and publication as provided by law.
