Title: City Council Minutes - Where are they posted?
Post by: PonderInc on July 09, 2009, 04:04:32 PM
Why can't I find the minutes to City Council meetings online?  I can find agendas going back several years, but not the minutes of the meetings. 

Thus, I can tell what was discussed, but not what was decided...and who voted for/against?

Shouldn't it be here?  http://www.tulsacouncil.org/home.php (http://www.tulsacouncil.org/home.php)

Am I missing something obvious?

Under the charter amendment change only it Tulsa can all the charter articles be amended by one vote, one issue.  (not called a new charter) It being submitted to the electors as a completed charter amended (In defining the word usage) there is very little resemblance to the anticipated fine line painted by a very broad bush between the small number of the downtown elitist and the commoners who was installed as a stand in for democracy .

When the first meeting were held there was a  period that the meeting of the council did not maintain minutes as the could only say  "YES" to all items.  At a later date a citizen ask the city clerk to see the meeting minutes and a search was made for the non-existing minutes.  These were drawn up at a later date.  I am sure that they now exist but to broadcast them would cause 3 police to be laid off for lack of funds which would inform the commoners and those handicapped what is currently conducted in the meeting.

Click on any agenda that is more than a couple of weeks old and you will see the minutes to the right of the agenda item.

Thanks.  That's sort of confusing, but it works.  (I didn't think to look inside the agenda for the minutes, b/c I was expecting to see a separate link to "minutes.")
