Jared Davidson, identified in the meeting as bond counsel for the item, told the board the PBA indenture is broad and can be used to finance public properties that benefit the county, not only revenue-generating facilities. \"It could be used for the jail,\" Davidson said, and he described the official statement as identifying a range of capital improvements \"including but not limited to campus security, courthouse and annex renovations, improvements to leasehold properties of the Public Buildings Authority, juvenile justice center improvements, property acquisition, and new county jail construction along with related costs.\"

Board members discussed the parking garage as a prior example of a PBA-financed, revenue-producing facility and noted the long payoff period for such projects. Counsel said the county has refinanced earlier PBA bonds and described the current expectations for spending proceeds. \"We've got a reasonable expectations test that we're gonna spend at least 85%... of those proceeds within 3 years just to comply with the federal tax rules,\" Davidson said.

Commissioner Pettus asked for a spreadsheet of the projects and estimates of how dollars would be allocated; counsel and staff offered to provide more detailed figures. After the briefing and questions, the board voted to defer the item until May 14 for further consideration.

Less critical items at the PBA meeting, including approval of parking spots and routine claims, were approved by the board during the session.","The Oklahoma County Public Buildings Authority deferred action to May 14 after bond counsel explained the authority's role, potential projects to fund with bond proceeds, and tax-rule spending expectations; commissioners sought additional detail.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6251393,"Oklahoma County approves oversight permit process for OG&E superload transports to Horseshoe Lake Power Plant",194,796000,990000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3195738-db17aa5a2a1910382570127d8cde25f3&start=796&end=990","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3195738-db17aa5a2a1910382570127d8cde25f3/thumbnail_796000.jpg","/articles/6251393/Oklahoma-County/Oklahoma/Oklahoma-County-approves-oversight-permit-process-for-OGE-superload-transports-to-Horseshoe-Lake-Power-Plant","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6251393-ad600d24a60fb4890720ef14e614f335/orig.mp4?Expires=1771141206&Signature=fgmaoDJumbEgiitfK8iZf1SAlbSkifw557KY6xQOn3SZIBaqYmBVKRVm-9EYDF-tBfcrOyPXDeJDQbuZyEqAiFW-J~VTBUwKLnLKy3dlvRbDfPS92NOua9deHCRBA6g6~BTXHEQJWU9VI9Qbx32K7zKJ-y8PEZpqzfmSo75r8GrhTkz-ZF1vhbUh3gDtrQRovnlopN9SvZzhQOgsvYryfhPSq-BBNFOXPirzStULgEIdZsh~4kpp6dGVAq1EoLOPfYNk8z1g49TIiH8YXrsIvlDoexnluLIl00MzX2fPD7XP7qDj9OCLGcrM8LMMNRNamXf5mWsZrq60cIaqJLikPQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Oklahoma County commissioners approved a permit process to oversee the delivery of six oversized transformers by OG&E to the Horseshoe Lake Power Plant, citing bridge load limits and the need for insurance and route oversight.

\"OG and E has 6 super load transports that they need to deliver to the Horseshoe Lake Power Plant,\" a county staff member identified as Stacy told commissioners. She described the cargo as \"half million pound transformers\" and said that when mounted on the truck and trailer the loads become \"900,000 pound payloads,\" calling that \"10 times what our bridges can carry.\" She said the transports are configured on a 52-foot vehicle, 16 feet wide with 24 axles and variable axle spacing to help cross bridges.

Stacy asked the board to adopt a permit oversight process to document routes and collect insurance from transport companies. \"So I'd ask for you to approve this permit process today,\" she said, and moved that the chair be authorized to sign permits issued under the policy. Commissioners approved the motion by voice vote.

The staff presentation emphasized that the permit process is intended to provide an added layer of review in case calculations about axle loads or clearances are incorrect. The measure authorizes issuance of permits this summer as needed and requires transport companies to provide insurance coverage before using county infrastructure.

The vote was recorded as unanimous by the presiding officer; specific roll-call votes were not recorded in the transcript.","Commissioners approved a permit policy to oversee deliveries of six oversized transformers by OG&E to the Horseshoe Lake Power Plant, requiring insurance and authorizing the board chair to sign permits.",{"_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},6251398,"Oklahoma County proclaims May 4–10, 2025 as Home and Community Education Week",348,467000,815000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3195738-db17aa5a2a1910382570127d8cde25f3&start=467&end=815","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3195738-db17aa5a2a1910382570127d8cde25f3/thumbnail_467000.jpg","/articles/6251398/Oklahoma-County/Oklahoma/Oklahoma-County-proclaims-May-410-2025-as-Home-and-Community-Education-Week","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6251398-49e4847da28aa09ef59d7799da2e15a8/orig.mp4?Expires=1771141206&Signature=dLzct14~X1VOvB-5mBxzdTHawUAaOehrYz9OANr-48Vme6yfPKe9rpOAM-oiKamn0gVgZ2v2zJvbktwhZpW~jNZBQSYuWm3Bi~KmwZ~qhxsKL5WeND162ZWvFtIXds5kcIOvmh3~OlFuVn43q0-lb15TPKMgqP8XXeiORdljjAHKDM0t2WpZ2Oll6W~8tkSc6wnw1e6~GVlADPA9Nw7scNFDqHDryVPmm0Sdz5dvaH5EqBxo~W82xlvaqdDU7eJkHAVEQ~5~BI7rlXZEWMb50LVtMx8anShnRf2BWJMmOpqrQUdagwhGuif6BnnGBYiJN5m-WiZlqTBrAoxdHW8yJg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Oklahoma County Commissioners on May 2025 voted to proclaim May 4'\u0010May 10, 2025, as Oklahoma Home and Community Education (OHCE) Week and heard a brief presentation from local OHCE members.

The proclamation recognizes OHCE's roots in 1910 and highlights volunteer service by county members. \"In 2024, they donated around 22,000 hours of service to organizations such as the Oklahoma Veterans Medical Center, the Juvenile Detention Center, Grandparents Raising Grandchildren, Oklahoma Literacy Coalition, and the Oklahoma Mental Health Association,\" the proclamation states.

The proclamation was presented to the commissioners and approved without recorded opposition. After the vote, Lisa Hamblin, family and consumer sciences educator at the Oklahoma County OSU Extension Center, described the county groups and their activities. \"They are all over Oklahoma County. They represent Edmond. They represent Bethany. They represent the South Side, the East Side,\" Hamblin said.

Beverly Kirk, identified as a county secretary and president of the Oklahoma County OHCE Scissor Tales Quilt Guild, told commissioners the guild organizes community-focused events and charitable work. \"We endeavor to build community, to strengthen friendships, to be able to communicate, and then to be charitable in our givings,\" Kirk said. She invited commissioners and residents to a future Juneteenth quilt show the group held last year and hopes to stage again in 2026.

The proclamation cites OHCE's role in developing leadership skills and community volunteering. Commissioners approved the item as read and invited the presenters for a photograph following the vote.

Less critical details: presenters asked for a group photo and described the quilt show as a recent community event that the guild plans to revive next year.","The Oklahoma County Commissioners unanimously approved a proclamation recognizing May 4–10, 2025 as Home and Community Education Week, noting the organization's history and volunteer service across the county.","actionData","errors"]
