County approves adjusted CDBG drawdown and signs response to ODOC monitoring report
Summary
Rogers County approved an adjusted drawdown for a Claremore Economic Development invoice linked to a CDBG workforce program and authorized a county response to an Oklahoma Department of Commerce monitoring report related to a 2022 CDBG water-sewer construction grant.
Rogers County commissioners approved an adjusted federal drawdown request and authorized the chairman to sign a county response to a monitoring report from the Oklahoma Department of Commerce (ODOC) related to a 2022 CDBG water-sewer construction project.
County staff said an earlier drawdown submitted for roughly $24,000 required adjustment after staff determined one issued check had not been used; the revised drawdown amount presented to commissioners for Claremore Economic Development, invoice (01/03/1966 revised 3/21/25), was $18,078.20 for the CDBG-CV workforce program. Commissioners approved resubmission of the adjusted drawdown.
On the ODOC monitoring report for the 2022 CDBG application (referenced in the packet as MRCDBG-2022 Rogers County-00199), county staff outlined two primary findings: extended project timelines and incomplete paperwork related to an assignment letter in the Grama administration agreement with Grand Gateway. Staff explained that modeling and design decisions by Rural Water District 3 (including moving a pump station and splitting the project into two parts) delayed environmental review and construction, and that the rural water district increased its match on the project. The proposed county response documents the timeline explanations and commits to improved documentation to avoid recurrence. Commissioners approved authorizing the chairman to sign the county response.
Commissioners voted aye on both items and the motions carried.
