Committee approves two trainee applications after executive session
Summary
Following an executive session, the committee approved trainee applications for Jason Xirum and Zacheus Brownell at its July 8 meeting; Xirum's approval was unanimous while Brownell's vote included one 'no' and one 'abstain.'
The Alarm, Locksmith and Fire Sprinkler Industry Committee moved into an executive session at 9:27 a.m. on July 8 under 25 O.S. § 307(B)(4) and § 307(B)(7) to consider confidential matters. The committee reconvened at 10:10 a.m. and took public action on trainee applications.
Committee member Josh Lancaster moved to approve the trainee application for Jason Xirum; the motion passed on a unanimous roll call. Lancaster then moved to approve the trainee application for Zacheus Brownell; Steven Brekel seconded. The roll call for Brownell’s application was Yes — Bernita Hart, Josh Lancaster, Steven Brekel, Jackie Ward, Ron Bada; No — Keith Schultz; Abstain — Nathan Patrick. The motion passed.
Why it matters: Trainee approvals permit individuals to begin supervised work that contributes to their path toward full licensure under ALFS rules. The use of executive session indicates the committee considered confidential personnel or applicant information before returning to public session to record votes.
Next steps: ODOL staff will process the trainee approvals and update licensing records; the committee’s next regular meeting is scheduled for Aug. 5, 2026.
