Commissioner moves to remove mineral-rights sale from agenda; motion approved
Summary
After preliminary discussion about selling county mineral rights, a commissioner moved to strike the item from the agenda and the advisory board approved the request unanimously.
The advisory board discussed a request from a company to evaluate selling mineral rights held by Oklahoma County, but the board voted to remove the item from the agenda.
A commissioner noted the county receives roughly $4,050,000 a year in oil royalties from properties the county owns and said the board would have to run any sale through a public bidding process. "District 2 has no interest in selling their rights and I would move to strike this item," the Commissioner, District 2, said. The motion was seconded and the board approved it by voice vote (aye).
No further action was taken on mineral-rights sales; staff recorded the item as removed for the present and the agenda moved on to other business.
