Petroleum County commissioners adopted Resolution 2024-18, imposing Stage One fire restrictions, at their July 22 mid‑month meeting in Winnett.
Commissioner Craig Iverson moved to adopt the resolution. The minutes state the motion carried; the minutes also record Craig Iverson as the seconder, and do not list a separate seconding commissioner. The record does not include a roll‑call vote tally.
The restriction was discussed alongside reports from the Road and DES department about active projects and fire‑safety precautions. Road/DES Ray Rowton told the board he had shut down the county mower for the week as a safety measure while crews work on road projects.
The board did not announce additional enforcement details or an effective date beyond the adoption recorded in the minutes. The meeting adjourned at 2:50 p.m.
