At its Nov. 10 special meeting, the Stilwell City Council voted to reverse the Nov. 3, 2025 action that had permitted Stilwell police officers to purchase guns from the City.
Councilmember Barrett Harris moved to approve reversing the prior action; Coye Nettles seconded. The minutes record yes votes from Coye Nettles, Barrett Harris, Jim Spray and Debbie Johnson; the motion carried 4-0.
The minutes do not provide the original Nov. 3 ordinance or motion text, the rationale for the original approval, nor the council discussion underpinning the reversal. No vote tallies by the mayor appear in the minutes; one councilmember, Lane Kindle, was absent for the Nov. 10 meeting. The minutes state only that the council reversed the prior action and carried the motion 4-0.
The reversal was completed without entering executive session; other listed agenda topics (annexation, clerk-treasurer, attorney matters) were not discussed.
