Oklahoma County commissioners approve appointment, contracts and send commissioner to settlement conference
Summary
At a regularly scheduled meeting, the Oklahoma County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved routine consent items, appointed Bill McClung as an alternate committee member, renewed a contract for flood repairs, approved an application for the county solid-waste program, amended a contract to purchase laptops for office staff, and authorized Commissioner Foster to attend a settlement conference.
The Oklahoma County Board of Commissioners met and voted unanimously to approve a series of routine and administrative actions, including an appointment, contract renewals and an authorization to attend a settlement conference.
The board approved minutes from April 29, routine claims and the consent docket by voice vote. District 3 presented a motion to appoint Bill McClung as an alternate member to the Infrastructure, Public Building Authority (PBA) Advisory, P and G, and Handbook committees; the motion was seconded and approved.
Commissioners also approved the Oklahoma Cooperative Board’s application for the next fiscal year related to the county’s solid waste program. District 3 asked the board to renew a contract with the Circuit Engineering District board covering two flood-related projects — work at the Covellon county line and repair of a culvert washout on Westminster — and the renewal was approved.
The board approved the county’s annual eight-year transportation plan for submission to the Oklahoma Department of Transportation for consideration for CERB and federal funds. An under sheriff described an amendment to an existing contract to provide non-ruggedized laptops for office staff, noting a price change tied to financing and timing; the board approved that amendment.
The board recessed into executive session and later returned to open session. After returning, commissioners approved a motion sending Commissioner Foster to a settlement conference. The meeting concluded with no citizens requesting to speak and a unanimous motion to adjourn.
All votes recorded on the floor during this meeting were taken by voice with unanimous "aye" responses; individual roll-call tallies were not read into the record in the transcript.
