Title:

title

Consideration, discussion and possible approval of an emergency clause for Ordinance No. 3848; it being immediately necessary for the preservation of the public peace, health, safety, or welfare, an emergency is hereby declared to exist

End

 

Background:

Oklahoma Statute 11 O.S. § 14-103 requires the emergency clause be ruled upon separately by the governing body. With the implementation of vote cast, this item allows the emergency clause to be separately voted on.

This Ordinance, and associated emergency clause, was adopted by the City Council on January 21, 2025, however, due to an outage at the Tulsa World, the ordinance was not published according to State Statute. Staff is asking the Council to reapprove Ordinance No. 3848 and the associated emergency clause so it can be recorded properly.
