A municipal board voted to extend its current agreement with Tri County Water through Dec. 16 after a motion and subsequent roll-call approval.
The motion was introduced by an unnamed board member (identified in the transcript as "Unidentified Speaker (S3)") who said, "Make a motion to extend our current agreement to, December 16. With Tri County Water." A second was recorded and the clerk conducted a roll call in which Dana Miller, Larry Church, Scott Rossman, Jolene Desette (listed in the first roll call), Jeff Nance and John Kramer each answered "Yes." The presiding officer announced, "Motion passes." The motion and roll call were repeated later in the meeting; the later roll call lists the same set of affirmative votes but renders one member's name as "Julie Doucette." The transcript does not resolve that spelling discrepancy.
Board members discussed the item in the context of an executive-session matter. The presiding officer read a proposed executive-session entry citing Oklahoma statute 25 O.S. § 307(B) for confidential communications between the public body and its attorney concerning opinion, investigation, claim or action. Participants said the relevant matters had been covered in an earlier executive session, but they proceeded to formalize the extension by motion and vote.
The record shows two instances in which the extension motion and roll call were recorded; both instances concluded with the presiding officer announcing the motion had passed. No dissenting votes or abstentions were recorded in the transcript. The meeting concluded after a motion to adjourn, which the presiding officer called with a voice vote of "Aye."
