Summary
The Krebs Utilities Authority voted June 16, 2026 to discontinue City Accountant Mike Kern's 2026-2027 contract after a motion from Board Member Larry Coxsey; the motion passed 3-1 with one dissent.
The Krebs Utilities Authority voted on June 16 to discontinue the contract of City Accountant Mike Kern for fiscal year 2026-2027 after a motion from board member Larry Coxsey.
"Larry Coxsey makes a motion to discontinue the contract with accountant Mike Kern for 2026-2027," Coxsey said; Jeanetta Hauck seconded the motion. Chairman Zella Kincaid called the roll: Dan Heathcock voted no; Sherry DeFrange, Jeanetta Hauck and Larry Coxsey voted yes. The motion to not renew the contract passed.
Board members did not record additional public discussion or conditions attached to the decision on the record. The item followed an earlier on-the-record notice regarding potential executive-session discussion of Kern's employment contract, compensation and the 2026-2027 engagement letter under Oklahoma Statute Title 25 Section 307(B)(1); that executive-session item was not acted on at this meeting.
The board did not specify on the record the effective date when services will cease or whether interim accounting arrangements will be made; those details were not provided in the meeting minutes.
