Resident asks Yukon council to investigate councilmember Selby’s online posts
Summary
During public comments, resident Mike Burris requested a formal city investigation into Councilmember Shelley Selby's online posts, alleging harassment and policy violations; he asked for appropriate discipline under Yukon personnel rules and OMAG guidance.
Resident Mike Burris asked the Yukon City Council to launch a formal investigation into online posts by Councilmember Shelley Selby, saying the posts amounted to harassment, “cyber trolling” and “cyber bullying” and violated Yukon policies and guidance from municipal organizations.
Burris read aloud copies of the posts he said Selby published online and asked the council to investigate whether the comments violated the Yukon personnel manual and guidance produced by the Oklahoma Municipal Assurance Group. He asked if appropriate discipline could be imposed and whether outside municipal organizations such as the Oklahoma Municipal League (OML), the National League of Cities (NLC) or the local chamber could assist Yukon residents on amphitheater-related concerns he raised.
Burris said the posts and the supporters’ responses had created a hostile environment and that residents needed clarity on whether those posts violated city rules. He concluded his remarks by formally requesting an investigation and asking the council to advise him about any paperwork required to initiate such a probe.
Council members acknowledged Burris’ comments during the visitor section but did not announce any formal action or vote to open an investigation at the meeting.
Ending: Burris’ formal request for an investigation was entered into the public record; the council did not commit to a next step during the meeting and directed staff to respond about procedural requirements, if any.
