The Comanche County Board of Commissioners approved a long list of claims and purchase orders on Jan. 20 as recorded in the minutes. Notable entries include E-911 consolidation fees to the City of Lawton in the amount of $210,671.50 and a quarterly mill tax levy payment to Comanche County Memorial Hospital of $230,321.42. The minutes also record large maintenance agreements and equipment payments such as VSC Fire & Security invoices ($17,841.00 and $35,960.00) and other routine purchases across departments.
The approved claims span general government, health, highway, sheriff and other county departments; the minutes list vendor names, brief descriptions and dollar amounts for each line item. Emergency purchase orders are noted as having documentation on file in the County Clerk's Office. The board approved blanket purchase orders and recognized a single overage of $59.09 on a blanket PO.
The minutes do not attach vendor invoices; the County Clerk's purchase-order calendar and supporting documentation are the official records for detailed audit and verification.
