INFORMATION ABOUT OCEDT TRUST MEETINGS
The Oklahoma City Economic Development Trust (OCEDT) generally meets on a monthly basis
in the Council Chamber at City Hall unless prior notice of a change is posted. If Council or
another City Trust is in session, the OCEDT meeting will be held in the Executive Conference
room (same floor). To confirm meeting dates, call (405) 297-2506.
It is the policy of the City to ensure that communications with participants and members of the
public with disabilities are as effective as communications with others. Anyone with a disability
who requires an accommodation, a modification of policies or procedures, or an auxiliary aid or
server in order to participate in this meeting should contact the ADA department coordinator at
(405)297-2506 as soon as possible but not later than 48 hours (not including weekends or
holidays) before the scheduled meeting. The department will give primary consideration to the
choice of auxiliary aid or service requested by the individual with disability. If you need an
alternate format of the agenda or any information provided at said meeting, please contact the
ADA department coordinator listed above 48 hours prior to the scheduled meeting.
