The Oklahoma City Riverfront Redevelopment Authority approved several consent items July 29, including routine financial and permitting actions and a resolution transmitting a letter to the U.S. Department of Transportation on behalf of the Oklahoma Department of Transportation about a bridge over I‑35.
The authority approved minutes from the June 17 meeting and accepted an oil and gas revenue report and an Oklahoma River corridor events update as part of the consent docket. The board voted to sign and send a previously prepared letter to the U.S. Department of Transportation on behalf of the Oklahoma Department of Transportation regarding the bridge over I‑35; the item was acted on as a resolution and the chair signed the document.
Trustees also renewed or approved multiple revocable permits with the Riversport Foundation: an annual fireworks permit, a permit for the Tri OKC Riversport Challenge (September), a permit for the Oklahoma Regatta Festival (October 5), a local permit for the youth rowing league championships (November 8) and a revocable permit for the holiday river parade (November 15). Staff said nothing substantive changed in the fireworks permit from the prior year. Each item was moved and the vote recorded as passing in the meeting record; specific vote tallies were not provided in the transcript.
Discussion: items were presented as routine consent actions with no extended debate in the meeting. Direction: staff to process permits and continue routine reporting. Decisions: all listed consent items and permits were approved as recorded in the meeting minutes.
