At the April 20 meeting of the Pittsburg County commissioners, Expo Center Director Lauren Ragan and Animal Shelter representative Michele Van Pelt updated the board on facility needs and service trends.
Ragan said plexiglass has been ordered for the expo jumbotron, and she has scheduled a meeting with the Choctaw Nation to explore possible funding to update the amphitheater. She told the commissioners she is working on ticket sales for upcoming events and noted electrical work remains for registers on the east side of the concession stand; she also requested consideration of extra outdoor lighting.
Michele Van Pelt presented the animal shelter's monthly report and told the board that both adoptions and surrenders are down. The commissioners reviewed the report; no specific budget actions were recorded in the minutes related to the shelter during this meeting.
County staff did not provide specific dollar estimates for amphitheater work during the meeting; Ragan said she is pursuing funding conversations. The board did not take formal action on either the Expo Center items or the animal shelter report at this session.
