Rogers County commissioners approve permits, grants, fund transfers, contracts and right‑of‑way settlements

The Rogers County Board of County Commissioners voted unanimously to approve a package of routine permits, grants, budget transfers, and contracts at its May meeting, including a five‑year contract for Taser equipment services and several right‑of‑way settlement agreements for road improvements.

The approvals included three utility permits (locations described on the record by county staff), three drawdown requests from a Community Development Block Grant—Coronavirus (activity code 18465CDBGCV) totaling $107,497.43 (mental health reimbursement of $69,990.40; nutrition assistance reimbursement of $31,795.43; and GGEDA delivery costs of $5,711.60), and four intra‑fund transfers: $1,000 from General Fund District 3 cemetery maintenance to District 3 travel (for Commissioner Burrows’ bridal expenses), $61,552.16 from Use Tax maintenance and operations into the Use Tax Sheriff firing range fund, $59,283.80 to correct an accounting error moving receipts into the sheriff forfeiture salaries fund, and $22,871.96 from visual inspections maintenance into visual inspection salaries for May 2025.

Commissioners also approved 11 blanket purchase orders for material supplies, parts, groceries and prescriptions totaling $17,000 and approved payment of purchase orders from all departments under resolution 2025‑153 as presented.

On contracts and capital projects, the board approved a corrected five‑year contract with Axon Enterprises for Taser equipment services and support after staff said Axon corrected quote numbers that did not match the contract; the board recorded that the contract terms otherwise remained unchanged and included a fiscal year addendum. The board also approved an amendment (Exhibit A to A13‑2019) that establishes a guaranteed maximum price for the previously approved Rogers County facility maintenance expansion project with Lyle Building Group (the amendment text and dollar amount were presented to the board; the transcript does not specify the GMP amount).

The board voted collectively on four right‑of‑way acquisition settlement agreements tied to District 3 road projects: acquisition of 0.27 acres for the South 4220 Road improvement project (K13‑62), a 0.44‑acre permanent right‑of‑way for Southaven Phase 2 (parcel 15, 22404 South 4130 Road, Claremore), a 0.06‑acre parcel for Southaven Phase 2 (parcel 19, 9920 East 510 Road, Claremore), and 0.11 acres for Southaven Phase 2 (parcel 20, 9930 East 510 Road, Claremore). Each settlement was approved on the record by the three commissioners.

Also approved was Resolution 2025‑152 authorizing deposit of $10.52 returned from American Fidelity into the General Fund insurance benefits Health Savings/Health Reimbursement Arrangement employer account.

Votes: For the recorded approvals the transcript shows the three commissioners voting "Aye" (identified on the record as Delosier, Hendricks and Brown). Where motions were made, a second was recorded and the board announced “Motion carried.”

The board did not alter the substantive terms of the Axon contract at the meeting and directed no additional public action on the matters covered in these agenda items at this session.
