The Norman City Councilâs new city-issued cell phones came thanks to a recommendation of the Charter Review Commission.
According to the minutes of an August 2019 meeting, then-Ward 3 Robert Castleberry said councilors should have city-issued cell phones, just as city employees do.
Castleberry told The Transcript Thursday he believes the initiative âincreases transparency and should facilitate open records requests.â
âThere needs to be policies in place regarding deleting text and emails that ensures transparency, and that the phone is only used for official city business,â he said. âAlso, it helps to determine if any open meetings violations have occurred. Council members get a W-2 from the city and are therefore employees, and should be provided the necessary tools to do their jobs.â
