Commissioners approve OG&E planning agreement for new jail site in 2–1 vote
Summary
After brief discussion, the board approved an agreement with OG&E to begin planning and designing permanent power for the new jail site at Grand Boulevard; when asked, the chair recorded a 2-to-1 opposed response on the question of opposition.
County staff presented an agreement with OG&E to begin planning and designing permanent electrical service for the new jail site at Grand Boulevard. The board approved the motion but the vote was not unanimous: when the chair asked for opposition, the record shows "2 to 1."
The staff explanation read in part that the agreement was intended "so they can begin to plan and design the permanent power for the new jail site at Grand Boulevard," language used during the presentation. The chair then asked for opposition and the response recorded was "2 to 1." The transcript does not include a recorded roll-call naming which commissioners voted yes or no.
The action authorizes planning work with OG&E to define permanent power needs at the jail site; further engineering, design or construction contracts would be separate approvals requiring future action by the board.
