Commission tables open-records resolution pending fee language
Summary
A proposed resolution to formalize open-records procedures under the Oklahoma Open Records Act was tabled after Mayor Kellie Johnson asked that a clear research and redaction fee be added; discussion deferred for revision.
The commission considered Resolution 2026-2 to formalize the city’s open-records request process in compliance with the Oklahoma Open Records Act (Title 51 O.S. §§24A.1–24A.40). Mayor Kellie Johnson said the draft aligns with current practice but asked that a clear and reasonable research and redaction fee be established and included in item H of the resolution; the item was tabled for revision.
City Attorney W.L. Stout participated in the discussion and confirmed the resolution is intended to codify existing practices concerning inspection, copying and mechanical reproduction of records. No vote to adopt the resolution was taken; staff will return a revised draft that includes specific fee language for the commission to consider.
