I wish I had pretty pictures but sometimes a document will just have to do. Contained in this dry memorandum are countless opportunities for wellness, fun and recreation for our city’s residents in Canadian County. (1/4)
In 2017, the voters approved funding for a new neighborhood park in the far western portion of Oklahoma City. Admittedly, City-owned neighborhood parks are not as prevalent in the outer ring of the city as they are in the core, but we’re working on it. (2/4)
This document represents approval of the acquisition of property for this new park, to be known as Swisher Park. (3/4)
(It is worth noting that #MAPS4 includes funding for another new neighborhood park in Canadian County, as well.)

Onward!

#1OKC

(4/4)

Re: COVID-19 (thread)

COVID-19 cases are skyrocketing around the nation this week, and unfortunately Oklahoma City is no exception.
This chart illustrates the new cases in the OKC metro since the start of the pandemic, and you can see the enormity of the spike this week, which has already resulted in the transition of @OKCPS back to virtual learning for the rest of this calendar year. Image
This chart illustrates OKC metro hospitalizations just for COVID-19 over the last month. You can see the continuous incline, and this week’s spike in cases will soon cascade into the hospitalization chart. Image

Mayor @MickCornett (pictured below in 2019) is the longest serving mayor in Oklahoma City history, spearheaded the passage of MAPS 3, shepherded the arrival of the NBA & was a part of countless initiatives during a period that saw the full blooming of the OKC renaissance. (1/4)
Since I took office, I had sought a fitting way to permanently recognize his public service. Eventually, the right idea came along, and I want to thank the Council for recently approving the renaming of SW 4th just east of Scissortail Park to MICK CORNETT DRIVE. (2/4)
This one-block street sits at the center of several MAPS 3 projects and is a most fitting place to commemorate Mayor Cornett’s legacy. (3/4)

Masking is working.

As you probably know by now, it takes several weeks for any results of COVID-19 mitigation to begin showing up in the data.
Last Friday, we hit the three-week mark since the Oklahoma City Council passed an ordinance requiring the wearing of masks in indoor public places. The new data since then speaks for itself in the charts I’m about to share.
Please note - as always - that I am sharing data for just the Oklahoma City metro, not for the state. Please also note that the new cases chart in my next Tweet ends at August 6th, as that is the most recent date for which we have finalized new case data.

Re: Mask ordinance in OKC

As throughout the pandemic, Tulsa Mayor Bynum and I have tried to coordinate our mitigation response as closely as possibly. Today, Mayor Bynum has announced that his City Council has been asked to consider a mask ordinance as early as Wednesday.
In Oklahoma City, our City Council has already called for a special joint meeting with our Oklahoma City-County Health Department that will occur Thursday.
At that meeting, the nine members of Council will hear the recommendations of OCCHD regarding a mask ordinance (and other aspects of mitigation response).

Re: Human Rights Commission and next steps on previously announced law enforcement reforms (thread)

Most large cities have a Human Rights Commission, including Tulsa. Oklahoma City had one until 1996.
On January 23, 1996, the Oklahoma City Council voted to abolish our city’s Human Rights Commission. The action passed with the barest majority, just five votes. Then-Mayor Norick was on record as opposed to the abolishment.
I have been communicating this week with a diverse group of our residents who would like to see this issue revisited. I agree that it is time to have that conversation.

Based on my reading of media reports & comments on this wonderful web site, there seems to be a bit of confusion in the aftermath of the Governor’s announcement yesterday. I can’t speak for the Gov, but will try here to provide a little clarity for the benefit of our residents.
The Governor issues proclamations for the state and mayors issue proclamations for their cities. A resident of a city has to look to both. Think of it as state laws and city ordinances. One has to be aware of both.
Having said that, for everyone’s convenience, I have always believed that if they speak to the same issue, it is my preference that proclamations on COVID-19 at the state and city levels be essentially aligned.
