Cleveland County accepts $350,414 VW mitigation grant to replace District 3 diesel vehicles
Summary
The board approved a Memorandum of Agreement with Oklahoma DEQ for up to $350,414 in Volkswagen mitigation trust funds to replace eligible District 3 diesel vehicles; Commissioner Rusty Grissom said the grant will be used to acquire two dump trucks.
The Cleveland County commissioners approved a Memorandum of Agreement with the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality on Feb. 20 that allows District 3 to receive up to $350,414.00 in reimbursement from the Volkswagen Diesel Emissions Environmental Mitigation Trust under the On-Road2 program. The item was approved as part of the consent docket and carried on a unanimous vote.
Commissioner Rusty Grissom announced during the meeting that the grant will be used to acquire two dump trucks for District 3. The MOA text in the agenda specifies that total reimbursement pursuant to the agreement shall not exceed $350,414.00. Purchasing staff Keri Lyles recommended the MOA during the consent discussion; no board member objected.
The MOA ties the county to DEQ program rules for eligible vehicle/engine replacements and requires documentation for reimbursement; the minutes do not list specific truck makes, models, or a purchase schedule. Follow-up procurement and vehicle specifications will be handled through District 3 and county purchasing.
