Committee hears brief remarks from Crystal Reyes ahead of city‑county board of health reappointment vote
Summary
Crystal Reyes spoke to the Urban & Economic Development Committee about her experience serving on the Tulsa City‑County Board of Health and outreach to immigrant and Spanish‑speaking communities; the committee will vote later at a scheduled meeting.
Crystal Reyes addressed the Urban & Economic Development Committee on May 14 ahead of a scheduled vote on her reappointment to the Tulsa City‑County Board of Health. Reyes described her tenure and outreach work during the pandemic, noting bilingual communications improvements achieved in partnership with the Health Department and community organizations.
Reyes said her public‑health experience, including previous work in New York City's health department, informed her interest in serving on the local board. "It was just like an honor to work or to serve on the board of health," Reyes said, adding that the board's work included outreach to immigrant and Spanish‑speaking communities and the creation of bilingual communications staff at the health department.
A committee member said Reyes appears well‑suited to bridge municipal and city‑county health governance; staff said a formal vote on the reappointment would occur at an upcoming 5 p.m. meeting. No formal vote occurred during the committee discussion.
