Commission notes resignation, new Chamber rep and logistics changes for parking and meeting microphones
Summary
The commission heard administrative updates: a resignation (Susan Arkekita), a new Indian Chamber of Commerce representative (Warren Harjo), and staff reminders about parking, city badges and microphone etiquette for televised meetings.
The commission received several administrative updates, including a resignation and reminders about meeting logistics.
Resignation and vacancies: The chair announced that Susan Arkekita resigned from the commission; Arkekita represented TYCar. The chair said she would contact TYCar’s executive director to request a replacement and that other membership vacancies exist, with the Osage Nation expected to nominate a candidate.
New Indian Chamber representative: Commissioners welcomed Warren Harjo as the new representative of the Indian Chamber of Commerce and said he will participate on regular committees, including Dreamkeepers and Native American Day.
Logistics and staff notices: Staff reminded commissioners that parking in the visitor lot while wearing a City Hall badge is a charge to the department budget and urged use of the parking garage. Staff also briefed commissioners on microphone etiquette for televised meetings: do not move, turn on, or otherwise handle the numbered microphones because doing so disrupts the technical team’s sound balancing for broadcasts.
Other housekeeping: Commissioners were informed that Commissioner Patsy Powell is scheduled for knee replacement surgery and that the commission expects additional nominees for vacant seats from tribal partners.
No votes or formal actions were recorded on these administrative items.
