00:12.87] Welcome to the 5 p.m. Tulsa City Council Meeting. You can view this meeting on our Facebook page, our YouTube channel, Cox Channel 24, or at tgovonline.org.

00:24.83] Assisting the council tonight are Jack Blair, our city attorney, Lori Doring, secretary to the council, and Brandon Worley, council staff.

04:36.87] And then we will do proclamations. All right, we have a couple proclamations. Our first one is lights on after school and then our October years of service.

06:57.21] Do we have the after school folks come up while we read this as well. See the opportunity project friends. Okay, I called dibs on reading this one because the former educator and me got excited.

07:25.07] All right, thank you so much for being here today, opportunity project.

07:29.07] I'll pass the mic to them after I read the proclamation just so they can share a little bit about what the opportunity project does and the critical services they provide to our community.

07:38.10] But first, the lights on after school proclamation. Whereas quality after school programs and opportunities provide safe and engaging learning experiences that help children realize their full potential and nurture their academic growth and well being. And whereas after school programs support working families and build stronger communities by involving students, parents, businesses, and volunteers in the lives of young people, helping them gain important work and life skills.

08:05.10] And whereas the Tulsa based op project LLC is committed to the education and prosperity of our youth and recognizes that quality after school programs prepare our children to become successful adults and help our community thrive.

08:20.07] And whereas lights on after school, the national celebration of after school programs observed this year on October 22 promotes the importance of quality after school programs for our children and families, and whereas the city of Tulsa recognizes the importance of and acknowledges all who work to provide expanded learning opportunities that help our children learn, grow, and develop the skills essential for success in life and work.

08:46.07] Now therefore we, the Tulsa City Council, do hereby recognize Thursday, October 22nd, as lights on after school day.

18:23.71] They're a true representation of service excellence loyalty and commitment. Their work does not go unnoticed and their many sacrifices are greatly appreciated.

18:33.63] It said truly but I mean greatly. So thank you. Oh yes. I'm sorry. See I kind of skipped to the bottom.

I'm grateful for the Honorable Council Chair Karen Gilbert, the Honorable Vice Chair Christian Vingle, Honorable Councilors, staff, team, and security. We are thankful to the citizens of this great City of Love Tulsa and this great

23:28.59] nation under God, the USA. It is a joy to be with you on this 21st day of October in the year of our loving Lord Jesus Christ, 2026. Yes. Appointments and reappointments. A.

24:16.87] All right, thank you very much. Is there Council discussion? Madam Chair? Yes. Before I make the motion, I just wanted to say thank you to these volunteer citizens who are willing to serve in this capacity.

24:29.81] I did want to, you know, uplift that we have an Ethics Advisory Committee staffed with citizen volunteers advising a professional office of our auditor and his staff. And it's not controversial today that we're going to take up a vote on that. And I'm just so glad that we have citizens that continue to step up and serve in those ways.

24:46.80] So with that, I'd like to make a motion to approve items 2A and B. Second. Please call the roll. Councillor Gilbert. Yes. Councillor Bengal. Yes. Councillor Victor. Yes. Councillor Lakin. Councillor Hall-Harker. Of course. Councillor Archie. Yes. Councillor Dutton. Absolutely. Councillor Bellis. Yes.

25:07.55] All right. Are any of the commissioners here with us this evening? Okay. All right. Items 2A and B are approved. Three public hearings. No items this week. Four mayor's items.

25:19.48] 4A, report from the mayor or his designee on community events, briefing, and city activities. City efforts and new business. Anybody from the mayor's office.

25:29.44] All right. The remaining items 4B through 4K will not be read aloud. However, public comments will be received on these items. Do we have any speakers?

25:40.70] Yes. We have two speakers. Our first speaker is Jana Davis for 4B. Good evening. I understand you've pulled this for next week.

25:54.96] But this item authorizes $21,923.23 payment to David Perry. I couldn't find the case law or the filings, whatever you call it.

26:07.37] It's to be paid from the sinking fund for a judgment and attorney fee award against the city.

26:15.51] And like several items before this year that I have been concerned about, carries an emergency clause. I want to be clear about what I'm not saying.

26:27.27] I don't have the underlying facts of this case in front of me, which I think we should be able to have. And I'm not going to pretend that I do.

26:36.23] What I am saying is that this is one more line in a pattern of counsel that this council should be tracking in open settlement and judgment payments against the city item by item week by week with no single public report that adds them up for taxpayers to see.

26:55.49] If the city is paying out judgments regularly enough that they show up on a nearly weekly basis, taxpayers deserve a running public total, not just individual line items buried in sinking fund resolutions.

27:10.98] I'd ask this council to direct staff to publish a consolidated, updated accounting of settlement and judgment payments with details so residents don't have to piece it together one agenda at a time. Thank you.

27:26.64] Thank you. Next speaker please.

27:29.86] Our next speaker is Mr. John Hoffines for 4G, J, and K.

27:35.33] Thank you, Councillors. Yes, Mayor's Item 4G, especially when application first Methodist Tulsa hullabaloo scheduled for October 24, 2026, especially when application first Methodist Tulsa hullabaloo, starting at 12 East 11th Street Boulder, 11 South Boulder Avenue.

28:09.37] They say join us for hullabaloo. They say get your costume ready and join us for hullabaloo at first Methodist Tulsa. We'll have snacks inflatables games concessions live music and much more parking is available on streets around the event and in surrounding church lots along Boulder and Boston avenues.

28:30.90] When this happens, this event will happen rain or shine. In the case of rain, the event will move indoors to the, to the youth and family complex at 12 East 11th Street, and I'm grateful for these Christ Jesus honoring folks who are providing friendly faces and family fun.

28:49.40] First Methodist Tulsa, their mission statement is to make fully committed followers of Jesus Christ, who are grounded in the word alive in the spirit and sent on mission agenda item for J, especially been application friendship church fall fest scheduled for October 25 2026 at 1709 North

29:16.03] Madison Avenue, these kind people love God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son, Holy Spirit, and people, they love to worship our Lord with passion and fervency. This will be a beautiful festival presented by great people.

29:33.35] At this festival scheduled for October 25 1709 Madison, they are planning on having inflatables and amusement rides agenda item for K, especially event application, who haha schedule for October 24 2026, starting at 4900 South Peoria Avenue in beautiful Brookside.

30:00.72] I think of this as the boo hallelujah and regarding costumes, I encourage Bible character costumes, bringing the light of Christ, and thank you counselors for always doing your best to help Tulsa, be her best.

30:17.01] Thank you, Mr. Huffines, their Council discussion counselor Dutton Did you want to say something. I do. I just want to make sure it's appropriate. I wanted to respond to the fact that last week we did have a vote about an independent review, this you have

30:35.76] It has to be it is pertaining to the agenda item B, and Janice comments that I just want to make sure that I'm not overstepping any boundaries, and I wanted to just say that we had a vote on a resolution to have independent oversight and that's this that this doesn't

31:01.74] have in regards to okay, the thinking about the sinking fund. Yeah, I have a comment about the sinking fund. I'm sorry. Oh, I'm just getting in the queue. I do have a comment about Okay, item for be. Thank you. Thank you.

31:16.86] All right, counselor detector right. Thank you, Chair Gilbert, and thank you, Miss Davis for raising your concerns I raise those same concerns today in the Public Works Committee so if you have a chance to go back and watch. I know you can't spend your whole day like we do, but it did come up at the 230 meeting.

31:32.83] We learned that there's a collision review board that was new information for a lot of us so we'll be digging in further to find out how many of them there are there was seem to be some question if there's two or three, we don't know so we're going to find out.

31:46.85] We did verify that this went through that process.

31:50.78] And also I did want to say, when I was chair of the council, I too thought that the public should see the sinking fund report so they are listed on our website regrettably they're not that easy to navigate to but if you'll go to the city of Tulsa org in the

32:06.09] box and put sinking fund, you'll see all of the annual report from 2012 to now. So it is consolidated and when you get in there you'll see if it's a workers comp claim or what it is so it's very illuminating.

32:19.11] Could it be easier found than it is now yes, and you email us regularly so I will email both of these things back to you the other thing case number CJ 2026 4430 you can find on OCN.

32:31.17] When they are federal cases you cannot navigate to that as easily unless you have a subscription and so even counselors up here we have to request that those be sent to us.

32:42.65] I will continue to ask that they be put in backup so I do think in two clicks you all should be able to see exactly what we do when we make these decisions and I appreciate you bringing that forward today.

32:53.03] And we can provide more clarity as we get it so thank you so much. The other Council discussion. I move to approve items for be through K with the exception of E with the emergency clause on items for B and for C.

33:07.83] Second Lori please call the roll. Council Gilbert. Yes, Councilor Bengal. Yes, Councilor Dr. Wright. Yes, Councilor Lakin, Councilor Harper. Yes, Councilor Archie. Yes, Councilor Dutton. Yes, Councilor Bella. Yes. All right, items for be through for K with the exception of for E are approved with the emergency clause on items for B and C five authorities boards and commissions there are no items this week six ordinances first reading.

33:38.44] The following items in this section of the agenda will not be read aloud and without objection items six a through six G will be forwarded to the next Council meeting for action.

33:50.60] All right, seven ordinances. Second reading seven a ordinance amending ordinance number twenty five six ninety one as previously amended which provides for the expiration on October twenty second twenty twenty six for the provisions of Title Seven chapter twenty eight of Tulsa's revised ordinances related to the downtown curfew hours and offenses.

34:18.71] Do we have any speakers. Yes, we have one speaker.

34:22.12] Janet Davis for seven eight. Thank you. This ordinance I support this curfew and I'm asking you to do two things expand it and extend it.

34:38.68] This ordinance only covers downtown but the violence driving it hasn't straight has been hasn't stayed downtown.

34:47.67] Go back to just one weekend in June of last year. Fifty to one hundred juveniles were broken up from an Airbnb party on South Elwood. Fifty to sixty juveniles block traffic at quick trip on South Denver and refused to leave.

35:03.31] Hours later multiple teenagers were shot at cry baby Hill with a fifty to one hundred juveniles on scene and a car found riddled with bullet holes.

35:12.43] That same stretch of violence included a fourteen year old shot at the Bradford apartments and a warehouse party out east where the seven more people were shot.

35:23.84] And this April a large group of miners sparked a panic and shots fired at Woodland Hills Mall clear on the other side of town from downtown at seventy first the memorial.

35:35.48] None of this is covered in this organ ordinance the curfew that only applies to downtown tells every other part of the city that this is a problem for someone else to solve.

35:48.17] And the curfew on the paper means nothing if the officers enforcing it have one hand tied behind their back.

35:55.23] Take the handcuffs off of our police department give them the policy backing the staffing and the trust to actually enforce the law instead of managing it from a distance.

36:06.82] Tulsa doesn't have a shortage of good officers. It has a shortage of political will to let them do their jobs.

36:13.95] I'm asking this council to stop renewing this curfew one year at a time and make it permanent direct staff to study extending it to other parts of Tulsa where we've already seen this exact same pattern and give our customers full backing to enforce it.

36:33.48] Thank you. Brandon any other speakers. No ma'am. All right. Thank you. Is there council discussion. Oh, Councillor Villas. Sorry I didn't see you know I was just gonna mention related to the youth curfew that you know I had been that I voiced this to my colleagues before I had been a bit

36:54.15] skeptical of more youth and law enforcement involvement or concerns about that and what we've seen statistically downtown has shown that my concerns weren't really borne out.

37:07.36] We've seen youth services and I'm so grateful that we actually have expanded learning folks here too like those kinds of programs make a huge difference in prevention and we actually relative to last summer.

37:19.36] Gun violence rates downtown especially with nightlife were significantly down I think I don't want to misspeak but I believe the police department share to stop that we had no gun violence incidences over the summer, like especially with like nightlife, etc.

37:32.36] I mean so I know that this policy made a meaningful difference. I mean that police were able to make sure that youth were out of unsafe areas earlier and then be able to address ongoing issues with adults at night with just typical nightlife stuff from there.

37:47.31] And so I'm glad that we've seen repeated data showing that this is high impact. Obviously there's a lot more work to do to expand safe third spaces and engage youth all over the city and so I know that some of the solution for the concerns that were just raised are also sitting in this room.

38:03.28] Concurrently, when it comes to keeping youth safe and preventing gun violence, but I'm just glad that we're continuing to both analyze and then continue this policy.

38:15.28] Thank you. I think when we first establish this we did talk about impacts outside of the ideal, we do just to clarify have a youth ordinance, have an ordinance with a youth curfew across the city.

38:30.21] It's not only in the ideal, the restriction in the ideal is on Fridays and Saturdays at 9pm and that's to help clear out young people away from other young people who are of age, but allowed to be in the establishments downtown 18 19 20 year olds, who may be

38:49.41] friends with older teenagers and they were congregating and parking lots and making it difficult for our police officers so I think it's working.

38:56.37] The mall shooting that you mentioned is scary and not anything that we want but it would not have been impacted by the curfew because the curfew is for after nine.

39:05.37] So, the mall, the mall does a good job and I just say that as the representative for the within Hills Mall area when law enforcement security teachers, people learn of young people organizing on the internet mostly these days they, they know how to raise the signal and try to get those teen takeovers

39:27.18] tamp down and to amplify what Councilor Bella said, this generation of young people don't have those third spaces. They're either in school or they're in their neighborhoods and they don't really have like we grew up riding bikes and hanging out and going and having places

39:43.63] and spaces to be in just young people today don't have that especially low cost or no cost so that is something I hope that the mayor's office of children, family and youth continue to explore for our young folks.

39:53.91] I think the council's kind of been receiving quarterly reports I don't know if it's exactly on the quarter but as I understand it from the reports that we've received that the police officers are happy with how it's working I got a text last week to ask for my

40:12.95] support from one of the officers that's regularly working in that ideal corridor. And some of the statistics have borne out some of our fears, black and brown youth are more proximate to being justice involved through this ordinance but we've also learned

40:30.43] that it's very incident specific. And again it's really related to like a party or an event it's, it doesn't seem to be pervasive on a weekly basis and so for that like I do want to acknowledge that the fears that some people had have, you know, born out in the statistics

40:47.51] and very concentrated to one or two events. So, I'm listening to our police department folks that are doing this work that said that they don't need it expanded across the city that they really think it's really working in the ideal to the nine o'clock

41:03.80] restriction everyone else in the city we still have an 11pm restriction and I'm going to make a motion to extend the sunset date to October 22nd 2027 as provided in the backup. And as we discussed last week in committee, and this, I'm also making a

41:20.79] motion that it carries the emergency clause. Second. Lori please call the roll. Council Gilbert. Yes, Council Bengal. Yes, Council Dector right yet Council Lakin. Yes, Council Harper. Yes, Council Archie. Yes, Council Dutton. Yes, Council Bellis. Yes.

41:42.65] All right, item 7a is approved as posted in backup documentation with the emergency clause. B. Again, we'll take comments tonight. B amending Title 7 Tulsa revised ordinances titled cemeteries by adding a new chapter three titled human remains and cultural artifacts establishing

42:05.59] procedures and protection consultant consultant identification treatment and re reinterment of certain human remains and associated cultural materials connected to racial violence or historical marginalized black communities providing definitions requiring site

42:24.73] protection and descendants centered, consolidate, consolidate, sorry, I can't talk tonight, consolidation, establishing procedures for re implement, memorializing and cultural materials, allocating responsibilities for the city projects and city regulated

42:43.60] development created a review panel providing for administration and enforcement this carries the emergency clause we have any speakers, we have three speakers, our first speaker is Debbie Tyler for seven be what happened all those years ago, and this city is atrocious,

43:17.37] all those innocent people that died for the color of their skin is unbelievable. I strongly support this ordinance, because protecting our human remains, giving those people back to their families is so important.

43:37.32] I think we have a moral obligation to take care of this. I think it is above any kind of projects that are going on. Any kind of delay it may cause. Those were hundreds of innocent people, thrown away like garbage.

43:55.29] Nothing should be above that. Nothing should be above taking care of what we did as a city.

44:11.14] I think they should have the opportunity to properly put them at rest to have the artifacts, artifacts, save for history, and it's not justice but it is a reckoning or a way to say we see you, we're not ignoring it anymore, and we're going to take care of these people.

44:34.44] I just really hope that you pass this so that they're not just covered up again because somebody wants to build a store or a business, you can't just keep them buried, and let their stories just be left, untold, unseen, and your family's not getting any reprieve.

44:51.13] Thank you.

44:52.67] Next speaker. Our next speaker is Jana Davis. This ordinance creates a brand new chapter of the city code, and a brand new permanent review review panel, and I can't speak fluently anytime.

45:15.55] Councilor Gilbert so I'm with you. And it's on our agenda tonight under the emergency clause with no public hearing listed. That means that it takes effect the moment you pass it skipping the normal 30 day window of public, the public would otherwise

45:35.01] have to weigh in. I'm not here tonight to re litigate the Oakland cemetery investigation. I know that's a really sensitive process. And I know families are watching it closely and I feel, I feel for them.

45:49.44] What I'm asking is simpler. Why does a permanent new layer of city government need to be rushed through on an emergency basis with no hearing, instead of going through the normal committee and public commit comment process, like any other ordinance

46:06.75] that creates a standing panel. If this is a good if this is if I understand what's happening. If this is a good policy, it can survive 30 more days and an actual public hearing. If it can't wait 30 days, I'd like to understand why.

46:25.46] And that explanation isn't on tonight's agenda. I'm asking you to pull the emergency clause, send it back through the committee.
