Council briefed on OG&E franchise renewal and told company representative would answer technical questions

The mayor told the council that one of the ballot items is an OG&E franchise renewal and introduced Spencer from OG&E as the company contact to answer technical questions during the presentation. The item was presented alongside the lodging tax and charter amendments so residents can ask questions before the August 25 vote.

The transcript excerpt contains no substantive remarks from an OG&E representative; the mayor’s introduction established who would answer franchise‑specific questions. The council recessed for the presentation and proceeded through the slide deck, inviting questions during the presentation rather than only afterward.
