During a recent government meeting, the commission approved a motion regarding item 6a, which included a stipulation that Exterior Insulation and Finish System (EIFS) will not be permitted on the lower three feet of the exterior wall. The motion received a majority vote, with one member abstaining. The decision will be forwarded to the city council for further consideration on October 1st at 6:30 PM.

In a lighter moment, a commission member shared a heartwarming story about the Broken Arrow Fire Department's recent rescue of a kitten trapped in a sewer line. The swift response from the fire department highlighted the community's small-town spirit, even as Broken Arrow grows. The member expressed gratitude for the department's efforts, emphasizing the importance of local services in maintaining community ties.

Additionally, a discussion arose regarding the voting process, particularly the implications of abstaining from a vote. It was noted that an abstention is treated as a negative vote, prompting a request for further clarification from staff on this procedural matter. The meeting concluded with no appeals or additional business on the agenda.
