Bylaws committee submits draft ordinance to city legal, will bring revisions to full commission
Summary
The commission’s bylaws committee submitted a draft ordinance to the City of Tulsa legal department for review and plans to circulate the ordinance and proposed bylaw changes to the full commission before recommending council action.
Daniel Carter, speaking for the bylaws committee, told commissioners June 17 that the group had submitted a draft ordinance to the City of Tulsa legal department for review. The committee expects legal comments before bringing the draft to the full commission for review and discussion.
Carter said the committee met before the full commission meeting to begin drafting proposed bylaw language that would implement and expand on the ordinance changes; items under consideration include whether to reference the Dreamkeepers Awards and Native American Day within the bylaws, committee structure, and the order of meetings. He added that the committee plans to meet again before the next full commission meeting and will provide commissioners time to review the proposed ordinance prior to any vote to recommend city-council approval.
Why it matters: amending the ordinance and updating the bylaws could formalize procedures for commissions' awards, events and committee structure and clarify internal governance. No specific council hearing or final vote date was provided at the meeting.
Next steps: the bylaws committee will await feedback from city legal, then circulate the ordinance draft to the entire commission for review and questions before any formal recommendation to the city council.
