The Oklahoma County Board of County Commissioners approved a mutual agreement with the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority to transfer multiple parcels along the Kickapoo Turnpike corridor, a step county staff said will allow the construction of access and frontage roads and could accommodate a future salt-storage barn at a county site.

County staff said the exchange resolves property that should have transferred to the county following earlier turnpike construction (circa 2010 6/2011) and that the deed transfers pave the way for county access roads along the Kickapoo corridor. The board approved the agreement by motion and voice vote.

Separately, commissioners approved acceptance of a quick-claim deed package covering roughly 50 parcels tied to the Kickapoo Turnpike frontage, which staff said were attached to the agenda and would be filed after the single motion. Staff also noted the transfers fit within the county's broader backlog of infrastructure projects.

No formal engineering schedule or construction authorization was recorded during the discussion; staff framed the approvals as property transfers that will permit future county transportation work.

The board did not place any conditions on future use of the parcels in the recorded discussion, beyond routine county permitting and project planning.
