Summary

McAlester's council adopted an ordinance adding a Citizen Street Improvement Commission to city code, declared the measure an emergency and confirmed three mayoral appointments (Tim Eisenberg, Fred Etner and Robbie Quickel) to the new commission.

The McAlester City Council voted to amend City Code Chapter 2 to create a Citizen Street Improvement Commission and declared the ordinance an emergency so it would take immediate effect. The ordinance language was revised based on staff comments and presented as the final version.

After adoption, the mayor's appointments to the commission were confirmed: Tim Eisenberg (at‑large), Fred Etner (Ward 2) and Robbie Quickel (Ward 6). Councilors voted in favor of both the ordinance and the emergency declaration.

The commission is intended to advise the city on street planning and recovery projects; staff said additional administrative follow‑up will define meeting schedules and operating procedures.

Next steps: staff to publish the ordinance, notify appointees and convene the first commission meeting per administrative direction.
