The Enid City Commission voted unanimously on a slate of procedural and financial items at its regular meeting, including appointments to a funding oversight committee tied to the Kaw Lake project, an agreement allowing the Enid Municipal Authority to pay a workers’ compensation judgment with reimbursement over three years, and approval of several claims.
Mayor David M. Mason and all seven commissioners cast unanimous votes (7–0) on the items the commission took up in open session.
