Council appoints and swears in David Pickle to fill Ward 3 vacancy
Summary
The Broken Arrow City Council unanimously appointed David Pickle to the Ward 3 seat and administered his oaths of office; councilors signaled a preference for appointees familiar with the community.
Broken Arrow’s City Council appointed David Pickle to the Ward 3 vacancy and immediately administered the required oaths of office.
Council discussion began with several members noting there were roughly eight council meetings left in the term and expressing a desire to fill the seat promptly. A councilor said, “I would like to, nominate David Pickle,” and another councilor seconded that nomination. The roll-call vote recorded affirmative votes and the motion carried.
The city clerk administered both the loyalty oath and the oath of office. During the oath sequence the clerk led the wording and the appointee repeated the pledge, after which council members and staff took photos to mark the swearing-in. Council members welcomed Pickle and noted orientation and onboarding steps would follow.
No formal objections or alternate appointments were reported in the record. The council adjourned later in the meeting and then called the municipal authority meeting to order.
