Garfield County approves health agreement, road project paperwork and multiple appropriations
Summary
At the Feb. 23 meeting, commissioners unanimously approved a memorandum of agreement with Integris Health Enid Hospital and a state agreement with Viemed, signed ETR-related paperwork for a rural waterline relocation, authorized an OCCEDB contract and approved several appropriations, transfers and two resolutions to junk OSU Extension equipment.
The Garfield County Board of County Commissioners on Feb. 23, 2026 unanimously approved a series of routine but consequential administrative actions, including a memorandum of agreement involving the Garfield County Health Department, Integris Health Enid Hospital, and a state agreement with Viemed Health Care Staffing LLC.
Commissioner Joe Kegin Jr. moved to approve and sign the memorandum of agreement; the motion passed with aye votes from Clarence Maly, Reese Wedel and Kegin. The minutes do not attach the full agreement text to the public record included in these minutes.
The board also approved a Road Application Form for the Emergency & Transportation Revolving Fund Program for a proposed rural waterline relocation described in the minutes as running from Hwy 412 Ext three miles south to EW 46 LCTM. The record lists an “Estimate Cost” as “$380,00.00” in the minutes; the board approved the application paperwork and a related ETR contract with the Oklahoma Cooperative Circuit Engineering Districts Board (OCCEDB). Vice-Chairman Reese Wedel moved to approve the OCCEDB contract; the motion passed unanimously.
Other business approved by the board included an application to construct a driveway permit for Nicholas Alcorn; cash fund appropriations and requests for the Rural Fire—Sales Tax ($2,252.65), Highway-Unrestricted ($141,389.06) and Drug Court ($10,263.88); two transfers within Highway-Unrestricted ($50,000 and $40,000); and the approval of multiple purchase orders and claims across general, highway, health and other funds as recorded in the minutes.
The board passed Resolution #26-39, declaring a list of OSU Extension items surplus (laminator, folding tables, refrigerator, sewing machines and related inventory), and Resolution #26-40 ordering the listed items to be junked; both resolutions passed unanimously. The minutes record purchase dates and amounts for some items and note missing purchase-date or amount entries for others.
The board authorized blanket purchase orders as filed in the County Clerk’s Office and approved one blanket PO (PO #3431 for Johndrow Pest Control) that exceeded its encumbrance. With no further business the board adjourned and set its next meeting for March 2, 2026.
Procedural note: the minutes provide the motions and unanimous outcomes for these items; where the minutes show incomplete numeric detail (for example, the waterline estimate appears as “$380,00.00”), the board record is reported here as written in the minutes without correction.
