Bartlesville City Councilor Trevor Dorsey appeared on COMMUNITY CONNECTION on Tuesday to provide an update on the recent city council meeting.

 

Dorsey was quick to remind listeners that the city needs volunteers to serve on the numerous boards committees and to check the city's website for details.

 

Those little green scooters seen all over town was one of the topics of conversation. Dorsey said the council passed an ordinance that will now allow the Lime rental scooters on the Pathfirnder Parkway

 

Dorsey said that Bartlesville City Council was informed Monday night by Assistant City Planner Nancy Warring that the Oklahoma Department of Commerce would be assisting the City financially with its coronavirus disease response program. This is through the 2020 Community Development Block Grant. City Councilor Dorsey said a special meeting will be held on January 19th to work out how these funds might be used.

 

In the wake of the death of Municipal Judge James Conatser, the Bartlesville City Council decided in Monday it would be best to let City Staff get an application drawn up and councilors could then interview the best qualified applicants. Dorsey said he agreed with the reccomendation made by City Attorney Jess Kane to have Special Judge John Gerkin fill in as an interim judge.
