Woods County commissioners sign disaster assistance agreement

The Woods County commissioners met Monday morning and took care of several items. One of those was approving the disaster assistance agreement for major disasters between the State of Oklahoma and Woods County. Emergency Manager Ethan Feidler explained this means any COVID-19 claims for supplies, etc., may be submitted by the county to the state.

Present for the meeting were commissioners Randy McMurphy, David Hamil and John Smiley as well as County Clerk Shelley Reed and Commissioner Secretary Amy Grimsley.

The commissioners approved payment for the Woods County Conservation District REAP grant project that has been completed.

An ODOT supplemental and modification agreement was approved for the Greenleaf bridge project. Commissioner Hamil called Donnie Head, engineer, for details first. The change will not cost the county anything because all costs are being reimbursed by the state.

Even though Earth Day was celebrated April 22, the commissioners signed a proclamation at the request of the Grow and Share OHCE group.

Two transfers of appropriations were approved. A total of $10,000 will be transferred from general sales tax countywide M & O to sales tax rural fire. This is expected to cover rural fire expenses for the remainder of the fiscal year. The other transfer was $1,200 from general sales tax countywide personal services to county clerk personal services. Reed explained there was an overlap of employees with one leaving and a new hire being trained.

The commissioners approved a resolution removing a Landpride mower from District 3 inventory. It was sold to Roger Mantz for $8,001.

Under new business, the commissioners discussed a change in the Woodlake Estates drainage project. Information on the modification arrived after the meeting agenda was posted. Hamil made a motion to accept the change eliminate one pipe from the original plan. The motion was seconded by Smiley and approved unanimously.
