Background:
City Council members are subject to the Oklahoma Open Meeting Act, which establishes requirements to ensure transparency in governmental decision-making. See Okla. Stat. tit. 25 §§ 3.1, et seq. Recently, questions have arisen regarding what constitutes a “meeting” under the Act, particularly in situations involving informal discussions, electronic communications, or gatherings where less than a quorum is present. To ensure continued compliance and consistent application of the law, a request has been made to place this topic on the agenda for Council discussion. This item will provide an opportunity to review the statutory definition of a meeting, clarify its application to Council activities, and determine whether any additional policies or guidance are necessary.
