The board approved the motion and seconded it; commissioners voted \"Aye.\" No additional details about project scope, funding requests or implementation timelines were provided during the meeting.

The vote occurred in the consent section; staff said the resolution is a procedural requirement to enable the county to submit the grant application for consideration by the Attorney General's grant program.

If awarded, the grant would bring additional funds for opioid-abatement efforts; the county did not specify the dollar amount it intends to request during the meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","BOCC & PBA Regular Meetings 06/02/2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Board approved a resolution and letter of support enabling an application for the 2025 Attorney General opioid abatement grant; the county named Diversion Hub as the proposed service partner.","taxTitle","Oklahoma County, Oklahoma","taxId",2676,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6218345,"Consultants propose proactive communications plan for Oklahoma County detention center; commissioners flag funding uncertainty",707,589000,1296000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3629390-9d2af37989726d4931df3d97f47b1d59&start=589&end=1296","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3629390-9d2af37989726d4931df3d97f47b1d59/thumbnail_589000.jpg","/articles/6218345/Oklahoma-County/Oklahoma/Consultants-propose-proactive-communications-plan-for-Oklahoma-County-detention-center-commissioners-flag-funding-uncertainty","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6218345-c8f70ba68d1e09aaa2000b0da0b8f3f0/orig.mp4?Expires=1770932248&Signature=JF9q~1mdzb01Z8OjgSb4Svgcr2rHJa1ssWvdkToJ30I8eR0muq2XlWlc794MAzjxJZ~1ihz4iCKoa1AgyjBf1V2rYHR-AQHhW9LUNauC452kIv7JZrAM9w5nsocQWv9nWbOXZzdaEtcbQBEcGQaKSL8G1fJ4gqH6KPgW98qgR8FQhjgQ1AcUvru8HEhkX1h5RZSU5YLUHm872LkeCidQK3zFffGoDeagH4e-zoPXaRhsN1CKq8P1qNqGePNiDNCeTHrIbUmkwPn2qoEQ3xiOpGJLNDLCT4oIRRRFUZzWNs0DlH6ML54ccP9EpEi5HQnAiv-OiJu9gprwy8i9QzxL4A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Consultants from Schnake Turnbull & Frank presented a proactive communications strategy to Oklahoma County commissioners aimed at improving public awareness of the proposed Oklahoma County detention center.

Russ Florence of Schnake Turnbull & Frank summarized the firm's recommendations and said the goal is to present clear, credible information to the public over time. \"Our suggestion is to employ a strategic, consistent, and proactive communications\" program that uses a central website, town halls, targeted paid social media, and short testimonial videos, Florence said.

Florence recommended a central online hub (a draft site referred to in the presentation as saferoklahomacounty.org) to host renderings, frequently asked questions, news coverage and a feedback form. He said the site and email signups would allow the county to \"deliver our messages directly to our stakeholders\" and provide a single, credible repository for project information.

Commissioner Lowe pressed the consultants on whether the county can promote the project without a funding plan. \"How difficult is it to, promote that message without knowing how we're gonna pay for it?\" Lowe asked. Florence acknowledged the challenge, saying that while the need and project details can be explained, building trust about funding requires clarity on how the project will be paid for.

Board members and staff clarified that the presentation was informational only; no action was required or taken. Commissioners said any public rollout should be timed to coincide with concrete funding plans so the messaging does not \"evaporate\" if financial answers are not yet available.

The consultants suggested town halls segmented by topic (for example, criminal justice, mental health and nonprofit partners), use of paid social media to drive people to the central website, and short videos featuring community leaders and stakeholders to address misinformation.

Commissioners repeatedly noted funding is unresolved and that outreach should wait until a financing plan is ready. The consultants and commissioners used the meeting to align on messages and possible formats but did not present a financing proposal at the meeting.

The presentation took place during the board's policy/presentation portion; commissioners thanked the consultants and indicated they would return to the item when a coordinated rollout aligns with the county's funding timeline.","A consultant team recommended building a central website, targeted town halls, paid social media and video testimonies to improve public understanding of a proposed Oklahoma County detention center; commissioners emphasized that funding details must be resolved before a public rollout.",{"_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},6218349,"Oklahoma County commissioners terminate ARPA agreement with CCO U Services after low spending",81,454000,535000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3629390-9d2af37989726d4931df3d97f47b1d59&start=454&end=535","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3629390-9d2af37989726d4931df3d97f47b1d59/thumbnail_454000.jpg","/articles/6218349/Oklahoma-County/Oklahoma/Oklahoma-County-commissioners-terminate-ARPA-agreement-with-CCO-U-Services-after-low-spending","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6218349-a526d692089a66218e3d3231a07e617f/orig.mp4?Expires=1770932248&Signature=Izy6HbMZ~7bJOthqjbqPfCOXIqhE0jNEl1Mb9-XXpxBp7i6~m2XpXeYs9TFSZTGL~22fJAeUkZmYXkN6l~GA6OIxZn3vxTa9oaAjmbX~3cKwxYADv~b5dtPra3NYnDDyKlaaTfRrBOj9g2hjzSTVDeEpLVLIF6p5hQORsQMtwi3LButn9IQa7uZ4gZYusIPj1dfrm1Y~1Ch1cJJmOhl3mKqesJTav270sgdBThvPttZ31Jfqi~-K1Ix665Q7XkVlMEj4~tDCSO71C2Yq3noLXMLQKfaVnSeWxne~qcehD9xKj9nBCNlZCVQsQOEcMlmtC9qf~P49t1VaERvpJLCruQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Oklahoma County commissioners voted to terminate an American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) agreement with CCO U Services after county staff reported the group had spent approximately 6% of the $375,000 allocated and would not meet a planned construction completion date.

The termination was presented by Commissioner Lowe and approved on a motion, with commissioners voting in favor. Commissioner Lowe said canceling the agreement “allows these funds to be utilized elsewhere in the community.” County staff added that invoices already in the pipeline will be paid and the balance will be remitted back to the county.

The county record shows the original agreement anticipated construction complete by the end of 2025; county staff reported CCO U Services has raised less than $600,000 in outside funds toward a total project cost estimated at about $6,500,000. Commissioners and staff said CCO had spent only a small portion of the county allocation and would not meet the contract schedule.

A county staff member identified as Joe said Accenture (the county’s contact/administrator on the agreement) would reach out to CCO U Services upon notification of termination. Joe said any current invoices “in the pipeline” would be paid because they were incurred under the active agreement, and that the county would seek remittance of the remaining funds consistent with federal guidelines.

No further action or replacement project was identified during the meeting. Commissioners said the county will reallocate the returned funds to other community needs once recovered and in compliance with ARPA rules.

The termination occurred during the board’s consent and contract review section and passed with commissioners answering “Aye” on the motion to terminate.

Less critical consenting items at the same meeting included procurement awards and routine renewals that were approved separately.","The Board voted to end a $375,000 ARPA agreement with CCO U Services after the group spent roughly 6% of allocated funds and failed to meet construction timelines; county staff said remaining committed invoices will be paid and unused funds returned to the county.","actionData","errors"]
