Where the data comes from

• City website: https://www.normanok.gov/ (City of Norman, Cleveland County; City Hall at 201 W. Gray). City Council https://www.normanok.gov/your-government/city-council; Mayor https://www.normanok.gov/your-government/mayor; departments https://www.normanok.gov/your-government/departments; meeting video streams https://www.normanok.gov/your-government/public-information/meeting-video-streams.
• Agendas, packets and minutes: the city's Municode Meetings portal, https://norman-ok.municodemeetings.com/ (calendar and list at https://norman-ok.municodemeetings.com/meetings3). Boards and commissions: https://norman-ok.municodemeetings.com/bc.
• Meeting video: City of Norman YouTube channel, https://www.youtube.com/user/cityofnormanok (streams tab).
• Collected 2026-11-11 and built 2026-11-12 (added at Dewey's request).

Governing body

• Council-Manager government. City Council of nine: Mayor Stephen Tyler Holman (elected citywide, 3-year term, term ends 07/04/28) and eight ward councilmembers (2-year terms): David Gandesbery (Ward 1), Jacy Deck (2), Robert Bruce (3), Helen Grant (4), Trey Kirby (5), Kyle Steele (6), Kimberly Blodgett (7), Scott Dixon (8). City Manager Darrel Pyle (appointed June 11, 2019). The Council also appoints the City Attorney and City Auditor.
• The city's council page also carries stale-looking links for Wards 2 and 6, and a City Council Swearing-In special meeting was held on 7/7/26, so the Ward 2 and Ward 6 listings should be verified.
• Regular Council meetings: 2nd and 4th Tuesday, 6:30 PM, Council Chambers, City Hall, 201 W. Gray. Council Conferences before regular meetings, 5:00 PM. Study Sessions generally 1st, 3rd and 5th Tuesday, 5:00 PM. Committees generally meet on Thursdays.
• Council committees: Finance, Oversight, Business and Community Affairs, Community Planning and Transportation. Boards and commissions include the Planning Commission, Board of Adjustment, Board of Parks Commissioners, Historic District Commission, Human Rights Commission, Floodplain Permit Committee, Norman Forward Citizen Financial Oversight Board, TIF District 2 Development Oversight, Norman Regional Hospital Authority, Norman Housing Authority, Public Safety Oversight and the Ad Hoc Public Safety Planning and Funding Committee.
• The city has 13 departments; department heads other than the City Manager are not named on the pages collected, so none are listed.

Data quality notes

• Read: Council-body agendas (conferences, study sessions, regular and special meetings, and the Business and Community Affairs, Oversight, Finance committees) from 8/4 through 11/12 as summarized from the posted agendas; the agendas for the 8/18 Special, the 10/27 Special and 11/5 were not reviewed. Planning Commission, Board of Parks Commissioners, Ad Hoc and other board agendas were not read.
• Minutes: posted minutes for 8/11 (conference and regular), 8/25 (regular and conference), 9/8 Regular, 9/17 Finance, 10/6 Joint and 10/15 Finance are image-only scans and were not read, so no vote results are recorded anywhere on this site yet. Minutes for 9/22, 10/13, 10/27, 11/3 and 11/10 are not yet posted.
• Video: 38 streams from the City of Norman YouTube channel are linked. The listing gives upload dates and durations, not meeting dates; each stream is matched to a meeting only by the date in its title. Two streams are titled for the 8/11 Conference. Study session videos for 8/18 and 9/1 have their own pages because the agendas list Special Meetings on those dates and the relationship is not stated. Video captions have not been pulled yet.
• Meeting pages cover 2026-08-04 through 2026-12-08. The 10/13 Council Conference was cancelled and has no page; the 12/22 regular meeting is proposed for cancellation.
