The MCC program helps borrowers \"on the bubble\" qualify for single-family home mortgages by improving their underwriting profile while preserving the mortgage interest deduction.

County staff explained the court fund includes a $250,000 category set aside for courtroom improvements. The addendum would reclassify part of that set-aside — previously anticipated for items such as window treatments and flooring — to purchase digital signage. The addendum and an accompanying change order require two signatures from the board chair and from district court representatives; staff said Judge Ogden and Renee (court staff) had already signed their portions.

A commissioner moved to approve the addendum and the motion carried by voice vote. Staff said the reclassification avoids requesting additional county funding because other funding sources within the court fund are available to cover the signage expense.","An addendum to a memorandum of understanding with the district court will reclassify up to $5,000 from an existing courtroom improvement fund to pay for digital signage; commissioners approved the addendum and signature pages.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6376019,"Commissioners award District 3 sidewalk project to J Lee Enterprises for $157,547.50",35,301000,336000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2140655-9f19533c7e94f3e60b51ca8e06378417&start=301&end=336","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2140655-9f19533c7e94f3e60b51ca8e06378417/thumbnail_301000.jpg","/articles/6376019/Oklahoma-County/Oklahoma/Commissioners-award-District-3-sidewalk-project-to-J-Lee-Enterprises-for-15754750","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6376019-86297f9521adaf33db0890fdcae853b0/orig.mp4?Expires=1775699571&Signature=hbVDdBhRfNq4XfQ6YyuW6QMMn~j8x6jLt-kLnkfBeazR~VuwqIK4CADwTj6LU6K-rYA44cy158patj62~nX4aDymAVh11ioGWQRhYk6L6wlctqOX8E-fg73F79E~eeNWHhRlin2FJVfisP0siRBzjS8rxWJr-4mnszupOeXL77WAksPLqIzFSYUVA0zneCFUZxf75Bm63N-wVr~rcGDYxXmRRHVphK6toOeztqIQVsJZaM4EGTyxqXFE1GjZYRLh5-fYclMSjXidllN1i-c-BvSG7VnEM2Q79VrtjIRzAO8ii-EbRoY8G5MM5UXqudn~V~vCrCpa2FrFEpioAW5DZQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Oklahoma County commissioners voted Jan. 22 to award the District 3 sidewalk project (project p25930-7) to J Lee Enterprises for $157,547.50, accepting the lowest of three bids received.

The DA's office told commissioners that the notice of funding opportunity requires a letter of intent by Feb. 5 (practically Feb. 3 to allow 48 hours for vetting) and a full application by Feb. 19. Assistant District Attorney Eric Motzinger said the first-year award would be $100,000 and that the grant requires a 25% match for year one (about $25,000), with in-kind contributions allowed from partner agencies.

The proposal under discussion would be a developmental planning grant, intended to bring together government and private partners to design a juvenile drug-court model tailored to Oklahoma County rather than to implement the program in the first year. Motzinger told the board: “Between today [and] February 19th, the actual grant application deadline, there is still a lot of work to do. There's a lot of day togethermen to do. There is a lot of discussion with both internal and external partners to do.”

Commissioners and staff pressed on several points before deciding to delay action. Board members asked which entity must be the applicant: the DA's office is not an eligible statewide applicant under the grant rules, Motzinger said, so the county would likely need to be the applicant and therefore would be responsible for entering the partnership agreements. Commissioners also sought clearer projections for long-term program costs beyond the three-year grant window and asked for more detail on which local partners would participate.

Staff and DA representatives said the planning year is specifically intended to develop those partnerships, the program model and budgets. Madison and other DA office staff said they had begun outreach to likely partners, including juvenile-justice stakeholders and public defenders, but that many details remained to be worked out prior to a full application.

After discussion, a commissioner moved to defer the matter to the board's Jan. 29 meeting to allow staff to return with a more developed application and budget projections; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote.

The board did not approve a letter of intent or the full application on Jan. 22. Commissioners and DA staff said they will continue working on partner agreements, match commitments and cost projections ahead of the Feb. 3–5 and Feb. 19 federal deadlines.","County leaders heard a presentation from the district attorney's office on a U.S. Department of Justice planning grant to study a juvenile drug court, discussed match requirements and governance questions, and voted to defer action to the board's Jan. 29 meeting.","actionData","errors"]
