\"The mayor will get $12,000 a year, and the other four council members will get $9,000 a year,\" McCullough said, describing the ordinance's pay amounts. He said the ordinance goes into effect 30 days after signing and that, because the ordinance was signed at the March 4 meeting, the effective date is about April 4, 2025.

McCullough said the ordinance will not come back for council review until 2029. No ordinance number or roll-call vote tally was provided in the meeting transcript.

Councilor Lisa Ford said the change reflects the time demands on council members, noting many residents work weekdays and council members must be available in the evenings to meet with them.

The transcript did not include mover/second information or a recorded vote breakdown; the text states the ordinance was adopted.","The council adopted an ordinance setting annual pay at $12,000 for the mayor and $9,000 for council members, effective about April 4, 2025; the next review is scheduled in 2029.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6650320,"Council directs city legal to draft fireworks rain-out ordinance",18,23582,41995,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2508488-ee311de79467ae9d65ff0ddd442b4fa7&start=23&end=41","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2508488-ee311de79467ae9d65ff0ddd442b4fa7/thumbnail_23582.jpg","/articles/6650320/Oklahoma/Council-directs-city-legal-to-draft-fireworks-rain-out-ordinance","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6650320-4bc60a267c0313d70f01fb591e23dd5b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771067928&Signature=RO-XU-Ui1rRNXej8Ila4cF4lyxl~MHIgQbi6pgRHocZK1yYFcDVkBOhZJ86G1FtphHXacNISxKgoRDL4tiS~Mgi3nDbOisxDfweqraNVunaoOKcS8OtubH71Scpn~2DyGt5C4VdLVEKaX8oRsk4DmgRkq-FBznIx5GuJ1kZJLXLB7jfdYgEaf~NJDpjRH0aEHIFG7we90Q~7reI9fB33h~9kjwQ-rCEKgKr73aluNDP0Iu1pVH~pZZ6Exe8-mdXWTEW6IpXXNYwoi2J7H782b5lUDGroUWKlgn~rCYOYlUbwVaJnEkyjMZz7kTwwP0uR1PJ2DogpJ82Y18lVtcpWlg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Councilor Lisa Ford and Communications Director Aaron McCullough discussed a recurring concern about fireworks and rain at the March 4, 2025 meeting. Ford said last year's rain created confusion about a backup date and that the city needs a clear plan.

\"It was an issue and we didn't really have a . . . backup plan,\" Councilor Lisa Ford said. Ford described discussion at a neighborhood meeting and noted the council discussed allowing \"Mr. Spurgeon or his designee\" to pick a rain-out day if weather forces a postponement.

McCullough said the council directed city legal to draft an ordinance setting a rain-out mechanism so the council can \"look at it and figure out exactly, okay, what is that date gonna be and who's gonna make that call.\" He said the draft would likely return at the next meeting and could be adopted in time for July events.

Speakers described a single rain-out day within a short window — \"within like 7 to 10 days\" — and said the city does not expect to move the event more than once for the same holiday.

No ordinance number or formal vote was recorded in the transcript. The action recorded in the meeting is a direction to city legal to prepare ordinance language for council consideration.","Council directed city legal to draft an ordinance establishing a rain-out date for the city's fireworks, with a proposed 7–10 day fallback window; details and authority to set the date will return for review.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6650323,"Broken Arrow accepts housing study; zoning overhaul remains under review",62,42135,104425,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2508488-ee311de79467ae9d65ff0ddd442b4fa7&start=42&end=104","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2508488-ee311de79467ae9d65ff0ddd442b4fa7/thumbnail_42135.jpg","/articles/6650323/Oklahoma/Broken-Arrow-accepts-housing-study-zoning-overhaul-remains-under-review","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6650323-f1c7d4244e4ab8f246972140a19e6ee5/orig.mp4?Expires=1771067928&Signature=j3L4Gj-Iy8lfAtWBsmE2YVoRf17L-491VIGEFB46oQdJYrqeV59hhWpz6z2qQZQff1-ytxQLVHNBIe5kg~pIi~wQ9XDH-PE8-rkoWip66Wd-C-~n~LrQruGmxreoTnrXnRaz~Nrj2wpw3NaRjPiqvbNSkKhYfdpUyux0w7CNLyWA~tPpM~anB4svU6sVUd1~Z9NijJ3sOvACkBlEPEl7H1ePdpgK~lHd~0CmJkcPe599uZZb6rh74HDM2a4pb9XobsWo~2xV2CcpT7zSgHejDrZff1Iz6L~1ttq8uVzO7zfZNPjoMi1jnXmEE0bbRHoH-dwdCH-a1RPgZB7b5mmPEQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Council communications director Aaron McCullough said the City of Broken Arrow accepted a housing and demographic study by resolution at the March 4, 2025 meeting and will use the study to guide planning commission decisions on development proposals.

The housing study, McCullough said, identifies the types of housing—single-family and multifamily—and examines whether growth in housing aligns with school enrollment and traffic concerns. \"The housing study is important because it lets us know what we're needing to fill in the gaps in Broken Arrow,\" Councilor Lisa Ford said.

McCullough told listeners the study \"will be used . . . as a guide to help you in the planning commission whenever you have to make those decisions for requested development proposals,\" tying the study to the city’s zoning work.

The city also received an update on a proposed zoning ordinance. Councilor Lisa Ford said the zoning ordinance \"wasn't adopted last night. This was an update for you folks, and for the planning commission as well.\" Ford said the ordinance \"is gonna come back to you later on,\" and McCullough confirmed there will be opportunities for public hearings and public input before any final action.

No vote tallies or ordinance numbers were stated in the meeting transcript. The housing study acceptance was described as having been adopted by resolution; the zoning ordinance remains under review and was not adopted at the meeting.

The council and planning commission will use the accepted study as a reference for forthcoming development reviews and for shaping the final zoning ordinance.

For the full materials, McCullough directed residents to the city website’s agendas and minutes for the March 4 meeting.","The City Council accepted a housing and demographic study by resolution and received an update on a draft zoning ordinance that will return for public hearings and further review.","actionData","errors"]
