Inola trustees approve property purchase, accept surplus bids and accept fire chief's resignation
Summary
Trustees approved a property purchase not to exceed $100,000, accepted $82,476 in surplus bids (excluding a 1.5-acre lot), authorized a new town car up to $40,000, funded a staff workshop up to $500, and accepted Fire Chief Carl Day's resignation; multiple routine items and PWA business were also approved.
At its Feb. 9 meeting the Inola Town Board of Trustees approved a series of administrative and operational actions, all by recorded votes of trustees Larry Grigg, Mark Redden, Dan Corle and Mayor Darlene Shear.
The board approved a real estate purchase agreement with Keven Purdon to buy property between Town Hall and the nursing home for an amount not to exceed $100,000. Trustees also authorized payment of up to $500 to send town staff and planning/board members to a Midwest City workshop (OML class).
The board approved surplus and equipment actions: it voted to accept online bids totaling $82,476 for multiple surplus items but explicitly excluded the 1.5-acre lot on D St. NW from acceptance. Trustees authorized purchase of a new town vehicle not to exceed $40,000 and voted to surplus the current town car.
In personnel business, trustees accepted the resignation of Fire Chief Carl Day and thanked him for his years of service. The board reappointed Bob Sherrer to a three-year term on the Inola Industrial Authority and renewed the town's membership with Oklahoma Municipal Management Services.
The board moved briefly into the Inola Public Works Authority session; the PWA approved prior minutes and purchase orders and returned to regular session. Trustees approved purchase orders and adjourned the meeting at 7:01 p.m.
Most motions passed by unanimous trustee vote; the transcript records vote tallies for each motion and contains no recorded objections beyond one "no" vote on tabling the trustee appointment. The transcript does not specify any immediate hire or replacement for the fire chief, nor financing details for the property purchase beyond the $100,000 cap recorded in the motion.
