Okmulgee Board adopts City Hazard Mitigation Plan Update
Summary
The Okmulgee Board of Education adopted the City of Okmulgee Hazard Mitigation Plan Update, agreeing the district will implement the plan "to the district's ability," the superintendent explained.
The Okmulgee Board of Education voted to adopt the City of Okmulgee Hazard Mitigation Plan Update during its Sept. 10 meeting. Superintendent/board officer Clay Vinyard told members the district is agreeing to implement the plan “to its ability,” and the motion to adopt the plan passed with aye votes from all board members present.
Board member Heather Kimbley asked what the district's expectations would be with regard to implementing items in the plan; Mr. Vinyard responded that the district would implement the plan as it can. The motion to adopt was moved and seconded in open session and carried unanimously under Action Item 4F.
Adoption of the local hazard mitigation plan places the district on record as supporting the city's mitigation priorities, which can be relevant for eligibility for some state or federal resilience grants. The minutes do not specify any immediate, binding operational changes or a timeline; the board record indicates the district will follow the plan “to the district's ability.”
