Pittsburg County Economic Development Authority approves routine business, questions alcohol-sales reporting at local venue
Summary
The Pittsburg County Economic Development Authority unanimously approved the agenda, June 8 minutes and claims (totaling $5,145.05) on June 15 and discussed concerns about alcohol-sales profit reporting at a local venue called Angel's as well as upcoming event formats.
The Pittsburg County Economic Development Authority on June 15 unanimously approved its meeting agenda, the minutes of June 8 and an acknowledgment of claims and fiscal transactions totaling $5,145.05, Chairman Ross Selman said.
The meeting, held in the County Commissioners Conference Room at the Pittsburg County Courthouse in McAlester, opened with roll call confirming Trustees Ross Selman (chairman), Mike Haynes (vice-chairman) and Charlie Rogers (trustee) were present. Trustee Charlie Rogers moved to approve the agenda; Trustee Mike Haynes seconded and the motion passed with all three voting aye.
The board then approved the minutes from the June 8 regular meeting. Chairman Ross Selman moved to approve the minutes; Haynes seconded. The board approved the minutes by unanimous vote.
On the consent-like claims item, Selman moved—Haynes seconded—to acknowledge claims and fiscal transactions issued by the Economic Development Authority and approved by the Board of County Commissioners. The printed purchase-order register included items charged to the Economic Development Trust for June 15, 2026, with a Grand Total of $5,145.05. Vendors listed in the register included Pro Kill Inc., Malcolm Mechanical, Atwoods, JE Systems Inc., Bemac Supply and several contract labor entries; individual line items and amounts were printed in the record.
During new business, Selman said he had "spoken to Casey with Angel's" and that "the board has been given incorrect information concerning the profit on alcohol sales," adding he would attempt to contact Angel directly to clarify the figures. The board did not take formal action on that item during the meeting.
Trustee Charlie Rogers told the board that "Missy with the fights" had said the promoter would no longer offer VIP tables and would instead sell ringside seats; Rogers said organizers were discussing a charity fight night. Trustee Mike Haynes suggested a separate "tough man contest" as another possible event format. These items were discussed informally under new business and no motions or approvals were recorded related to them.
Chairman Selman moved to adjourn; Trustee Rogers seconded. The board voted unanimously to adjourn.
