Grady County commissioners set Sept. 8 meeting to consider budget, PACT fund, C-PACE resolution and ODOT projects

The Board of County Commissioners of Grady County, Oklahoma, led by Commissioners Zachary Davis (District 1), Ruth Bingham (District 2) and Gary Bray (District 3), is scheduled to hold a regular meeting at 9 a.m. Sept. 8 in the commissioners’ meeting room to consider the county budget, funding allocations for the Preserving and Advancing County Transportation (PACT) Fund, a C-PACE enabling resolution and multiple highway and grant-related items. County Clerk Jill Locke is the filing official listed on the posted agenda.

The meeting agenda lists roughly two dozen items ranging from routine procurement and monthly reports to specific financial requests and agreements. The most prominent items on the agenda are: consideration of the 2025–2026 Grady County budget; decisions about how to allocate PACT funds within the Highway Fund and a new PACT Fund (including creation of accounts and designation of requisitioning and receiving officers); consideration of a County C-PACE Enabling Resolution and a related Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with INCOG to outsource program administration; and approval of an ODOT project agreement for a Lake Access Project (Project J/P No. 38861(04)). The agenda shows no recorded votes or final actions—each item is listed as “discussion and possible approval.”

The agenda includes three draw requests from Grady Memorial Hospital sales-tax accounts held with First National Bank: United Refrigeration Inc. for an AC tandem unit with compressors ($6,212.19); City Pavement LLC for parking-lot sealant ($39,240.00); and Oswalt Restaurant Supply for a 60-inch electric kitchen range ($22,141.88). It also lists two ODOT Form 324a payments of $7,500.00 each to Rebecca Wylie and Peggy Scott for easements and temporary easements related to the Sara Road over I-44 project (J/P 33552(04)), plus related administrative settlement and a letter of rescission for a separate offer to the Lula Dettweiler Family Trust. The agenda further notes a proposed deposit of $1,477.56 from VFIS into the Grady County Fire Department M&O for vehicle damage and a $6,539.10 deposit from NextEra Energy Resources into Highway District 1 M&O for road damages.

Other routine items include review and possible approval of blanket purchase orders and purchase card payments, review of purchase orders generated by county governing bodies, reports from the Emergency Management Director, Grady County Fire Department and the Safety Director, work orders from the Construction Superintendent, approval of county officer monthly reports, and consideration of utility/pipeline crossing permits and driveway permits. The agenda also contains an item to discuss a vehicle for a new hire in the construction department and an item to review estimates of needs and requests for appropriations.

Several agenda entries reference legal and administrative authorities or forms but do not record action. The document cites the Open Meeting Act (Title 25 O.S. § 311.A.9) in the new business definition and references Title 25, Oklahoma Statutes §§ 301–314 in connection with filing. The C-PACE MOA lists three exhibits: the enabling resolution, a template C-PACE assessment contract (pre‑approved “as to form”), and the Oklahoma C-PACE Program Guidelines (eligibility, process and application documents). The agenda does not include the text of those exhibits or the MOA; it notes only that the MOA and exhibits are attached as separate files.

The agenda is a posted meeting notice and does not record debate, motions, votes or directions to staff. Where the agenda lists a payment amount, project number, form or program, those figures and identifiers are reproduced as written on the agenda; no approvals, authorizations, or other outcomes are shown.
