OKC City Council -- Shadid/White Continuance Proposal
Channel: DougLoudenback
Date: 2011-08-03

On May 31, 3 council members said that no formal continuance policy was needed since an informal policy was already in place -- all a council member needed to do was to request a continuance and it would happen. On July 5, that clearly did not happen. On 8/2/2011, the scaled back proposal of White & Shadid was presented, scaled back to provide only one week's continuance if a member requested one. The matter had to do with civility at city council proceedings when a member requested a continuance. The "civility" vote failed 4-5, with only Ed Shadid, Pete White, Skip Kelly, and David Greenwell, voting to favor the measure.

Mayor Mick Cornett and council members Meg Salyer, Pat Ryan, Larry McAtee, and Gary Marrs voted against the resolution.
