Citizen raises fiber stop-work memorandum; county attorney says item cannot be considered under Open Meetings Act
Summary
At the June 8 Wagoner County meeting, citizen Phyllis Fallen raised a 'fiber stop work' memorandum as new business, but Assistant District Attorney Reginald Armor advised the board the item was not appropriate for consideration under the Oklahoma Open Meetings Act; no action was taken.
During New Business, Phyllis Fallen presented a fiber stop-work memorandum for discussion. Assistant District Attorney Reginald Armor informed the board that the item could not be considered as new business under the Oklahoma Open Meetings Act, and the board took no action on the matter.
Because the district attorney advised against considering the memorandum in open session, the item will require appropriate prior notice or placement on a future agenda if the board wishes to take up the subject. The minutes record the DA's guidance but do not include the memorandum's text or any follow-up direction from commissioners.
