Background:
On August 6, 2019, Council adopted Ordinance No. 3588 establishing the Broken Arrow Drainage Advisory Committee (DAC). The purpose of this Committee is to advise the City Council regarding the public benefits of recommended drainage projects, the anticipated project costs and proposed priorities for such drainage projects. These projects will be funded by Proposition No. 6 from the 2018 General Obligation bond program.
Each Council member is entitled to nominate one (1) appointment to the Committee to serve a four-year term, subject to confirmation by a majority of the entire membership of Council. The remaining two (2) members of the Committee must be selected among the Broken Arrow City Council members.
On April 4, 2023, Council approved the nomination of Vice-Mayor Johnnie Parks to represent the Council on the Committee, and he has continued to serve since that time. On June 5, 2023, Council approved the nomination of former Vice-Mayor Christie Gillespie to represent Council on the Committee. On November 13, 2024, former Vice-Mayor Gillespie resigned her position on the City Council, thus creating a vacancy on the DAC.
Staff is requesting that Council appoint one Council member to serve on the Drainage Advisory Committee for former Vice-Mayor Christie Gillespie’s open position.
