Cleveland County commissioners approve consent docket with ARPA-funded contracts and major fund listings
Summary
The Cleveland County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved a broad consent docket Sept. 8, 2025, authorizing ARPA-funded kiosk work, licensing and legal contracts, equipment surplus, and listing multiple lapsed appropriations including a $1.2 million ARPA line item.
Chairman Jacob McHughes called the meeting to order at 1:00 P.M., and the board immediately considered a consent docket of routine contract approvals and fund actions. "Rod Cleveland moved, seconded by Rusty Grissom, to approve the consent items as submitted," the minutes record.
The consent docket included a revised Cox Business agreement for the District Attorney's office listed with a total monthly cost of $67.00 (plus taxes and fees), renewal of Tisdal & O'Hara, PLLC to represent the Assessor with partner rates up to $300 per hour, and Baker Brothers Electric work for kiosks paid from LATCF‑ARPA (account 570120‑54867) for $1,825.00. The record also shows a $5,000 escrow deposit to Johnston & Associates for third‑party claims administration and a VetPro national license for Veterans Services at $520.00. A resolution adopting the 2026 courthouse holiday calendar and multiple equipment surplus declarations for the OSU Extension Office were approved as part of the same motion.
Finance items listed by the Treasurer included multiple lapsed-appropriation line items across ARPA accounts; notably account 112120‑54813 shows $1,200,000.00. The meeting ledger also records a combined payroll/claims total of $1,296,080.79 covering county general funds, sheriff accounts, highway districts and other funds. The board voted unanimously to adopt the consent docket (Jacob McHughes, yes; Rusty Grissom, yes; Rod Cleveland, yes).
