Summary
At a Woods County Board of Commissioners meeting, officials approved the appointment of a District 1 first deputy and voted to approve routine purchase orders and a surplus-item allocation. Commissioners discussed a REAP grant application for rescue apparatus and a resolution on bridge inspection responsibilities.
Woods County commissioners approved the appointment of Lisa Parker as District 1 first deputy and handled several routine administrative items during their meeting, while discussing a REAP grant application for rescue apparatus and a resolution on bridge inspection responsibilities.
The appointment of Lisa Parker as District 1 first deputy was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote. Commissioners also voted to approve routine purchase orders and allocated surplus equipment to a county station after a motion and second; two commissioners voiced aye in support during the roll call.
Commissioners discussed a REAP grant application for rescue apparatus and related rescue tools. The application amount cited in the meeting was $89,150.82 from REAP with a local contribution of $9,105.65; commissioners discussed the intended use—described in the meeting as a command/rescue pickup and battery-powered extrication tools—but the transcript records discussion rather than a formal roll-call approval for the grant application.
The board heard a separate agenda item about a resolution concerning bridge-inspection responsibilities, during which the group referenced selecting District 8 for ODOT-related inspection coordination; the matter was discussed on the record. There was also brief mention of an “air load cooperative” cooperative agreement; the transcript indicates the item was on the agenda and discussed but does not record a formal vote in the excerpt provided.
Other administrative items handled included declarations of surplus for county computers identified in the record as E911 Lenovo ED250-042 and a District 1 unit listed as IDD1250 S 028. The board moved forward on purchase orders later in the meeting; a motion to approve the listed purchase orders was seconded and passed by voice vote.
The meeting closed routine business and noted a community open house for Winnetka senior citizens scheduled for 6 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 8. No ordinances or policy changes beyond those administrative items appear in the provided transcript excerpt.
