The Tulsa City Council on Wednesday appointed two interim councilors to fill vacated seats in Districts 3 and 7.
Karen O’Brien is the District 3 councilor and former Councilor Arianna Moore was chosen for District 7. They both will serve until December 3, when the winners of the November 6 elections take office.
Councilors thought it was important to have two fill-ins in the next two months.
O’Brien is a member of the Sales Tax Overview Committee and has been on other city committees. She is a legal assistant.
Moore is a housewife and mother. She represented District 7 on the council from 2012 to 2014.
District 3 had a vacancy when former Council David Patrick passed away unexpectedly. He was not seeking re-election. The District 7 vacancy was caused by the departure of Councilor Anna America. Mayor G.T. Bynum hired America as the new parks director.
