The Norman city council voted for a second time Tuesday to divert nearly a million dollars from its police department into accounts that could be used for social services. The vote was held to make up for a previous budget invalidated by the Oklahoma Supreme Court.
The Norman Fraternal Order of Police sued the city last year over its previous vote to move the same amount – $865,000.
The police union argued city councilmembers violated the state’s Open Meetings Act by adding budget amendments to its agenda without giving proper notice. Three of those amendments targeted police funding.
