Good morning. I am in place to cover today’s regular meeting of the City Council of Oklahoma City. Over flow seating stretches down to the main floor, so we must be expecting a large turnout. Should be a lively meeting. Follow along here if you like.
As usual, it’s time to start but most members of this body haven’t taken their seats.

I just over 15 minutes I will be covering today’s regular meeting of the Oklahoma County Criminal Justice Authority, best known as the Jail Trust. Short agenda today. The biggest item is to approve an agreement with Telmate for phone services for detainees.
I note that there is no name plate for Trustee Todd Lamb. I bet it won’t be a problem, though.

Good afternoon. I am attending today’s meeting of the Oklahoma City Traffic and Transportation Commission.
I’ve already talked to a police and to Jesse Rush of the trolley.
I don’t know most of the members of this body, including the person repping Ward 6, JB Schuelein. I see John Milner is the At-Large member, that’s somebody I *sorta* know.
