Early Settlement-City of Norman Program News
Board Presentation! Ronda Guerrero, Director, Early Settlement – Norman, presented her FY 2025 annual report to the Dispute Resolution Advisory Board recently.
2024 Volunteer of the Year! Bill Scanlon graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a degree in Business and later obtained master’s degrees in economics, Business Management and National Security Affairs (this after attending the United States Naval War College). After 26 years of active duty in the United States Air Force, he worked for Northrop Grumman in Washington before eventually retiring back to Norman.
Since returning to Oklahoma, he has been involved in several activities.  He spent time on the Norman City Council and served on the Council’s Budget Committee, Ad Hoc Committee on Homelessness and as the Council’s liaison to the city’s Animal Welfare Committee. He served on the Public Safety Sales Tax Advisory Committee and the Flood Plain Permit Committee.  He represented his ward on a Citizens Stormwater Committee and recently worked as part of the Water/Wastewater subcommittee — developing a master plan for those critical services.  He is a citizen member of the EMSSTAT Quality Committee (monitors ambulance services) and a Board member at Transition House (aiding those with mental health issues).  He is also a nationally certified track and field official– with special qualifications to work Paralympic meets (one of 288 certified Paralympics officials in the country).  He volunteers regularly with both Norman Police and Fire Departments (he says big red trucks are fun). He is on the Chamber of Commerce Aviation Committee and writes a regular column for Norman’s newspaper, the Transcript.
Bill, who has been certified since 2018, says, “This proud opportunity to help others with early settlement of their affairs is self-satisfying.  Folks talk, resolve issues in a non-threatening environment, and then offer thanks for listening.  What a deal!  For the parties involved, and for the City– a BIG DEAL!”. Bill has served 7 years as a volunteer mediator and has mediated 93 cases and volunteered 122 hours for the program.
