Council directs staff to proceed after executive session on Muskogee Tourism Authority

The Muskogee City Council convened an executive session Jan. 12 under Title 25 O.S. §307(B)(4) to discuss the possible dissolution of the Muskogee Tourism Authority, a public trust managed by Oxford Productions. City counsel summarized the closed-session discussion and recommended a public motion directing staff to take the steps discussed in executive session.

Councilmember motioned and seconded the recommendation and, on subsequent roll call, the council voted to direct staff to proceed as discussed. No further substantive details or public actions were offered in open session beyond the instruction to staff; the council then adjourned.

The item cited the state executive-session authority (25 O.S. §307(B)(4)) as the legal basis for closing the portion of the meeting for consultation with the city attorney about pending or threatened litigation or settlement negotiations.
