The Tulsa City Council approved minutes, several appointments and reappointments, a 25-lot Black Wall Street Square plat and rezoning request, and two budget supplemental ordinances totaling about $14.2 million in supplemental appropriations.
The Tulsa City Council approved routine minutes and confirmed four appointments and reappointments during its meeting.
S1 read the appointments and reappointments: Ebony Dumas to the Board of Adjustment (term expiring 05/10/2028); Kevin Hale to the Board of Adjustment; Moises Echeverria (reappointment) to the Tulsa City-County Library Commission (term to 07/31/2028); and Phil Lakin Jr. to the River Parks Authority (term to 04/08/2028). The council moved, seconded, and approved items 2a–2d; Councilor Lakin recused himself from the related matter before the vote.

What the record shows: motions and roll-call approvals are recorded in the televised transcript; however, the transcript does not provide a complete per-member roll-call vote list tied to speaker labels in the public feed, so individual yes/no tallies by name are not specified in the record excerpt.
The council closed the televised portion of the meeting after these approvals and proceeded to non-televised follow-up with speakers.
