The Board approved Permit 26‑036 on April 13 permitting Public Service Company of Oklahoma to install a permanent telephone/fiber line embraced in Section 33, Township 6N, Range 14E (near Sandy Creek Road/US‑270). The packet included technical and floodplain review requirements and a fee schedule.
The Pittsburg County Board of County Commissioners on April 13 approved Road Crossing Permit 26‑036, authorizing Public Service Company of Oklahoma to install a permanent telephone/fiber line embraced in Section 33, Township 6N, Range 14E, in District 3.
The permit packet in the meeting materials includes the application, proposed GPS coordinates, technical installation requirements (minimum burial depth, encasement/casing and venting from right‑of‑way to right‑of‑way where applicable, marker specifications identifying the owner and emergency contact, and a requirement that crossings on asphalt roads be bored rather than trenched). The packet also specifies that floodplain review and any required floodplain permit must be completed before the Board will act; the submitted materials include a floodplain administrator review form completed during application processing.
The application lists the owner/permittee as Public Service Company of Oklahoma and includes contact and routing details prepared by Percheron LLC on the company's behalf. The packet also contains an AEP routing/approval chain, and a signature trail for Percheron/AEP reviewers and the applicant. The minutes show Selman moved to approve the permit; Haynes seconded and the motion passed unanimously (AYE: Selman, Haynes, Rogers).
The permit includes a fee schedule and notes that failure to obtain required permits or to notify the commissioners for heavy loads may incur fines. It also requires the applicant to hold the county harmless for damages or injuries resulting from the construction and to restore right‑of‑way to presentable condition after work is completed.
Selman moved to approve Permit 26‑036 and the board recorded the motion as approved unanimously; the clerk's office will retain the permit and associated documents in the official packet.
