In observation of Holy Week, Pastor June Marshall from the Newtown United Methodist Church was invited to give the prayer before the regular session during Monday’s Okmulgee County Commissioner meeting. Pastor Marshall read a passage from Psalm 36:5-9 in honor of holy week which ends with Easter this Sunday, April 21.
The board approved the following agenda items:
•Blanket Purchase Orders - To Okmulgee County District 2 for fuel as needed for the Assessor’s Office in the amount of $200.
•County Commissioners sale of property - This property was put up for bid and was purchased by Mary Baldwin during regular session for $12,000. The property is located in block 16 of the Thomas Edition.
•Juvenile Detention Services Agreements - This annual agreement has been signed with the Sac and Fox Nation. Monthly appropriations.
The commissioner’s also discussed the proposed modifications to the District Attorney’s office space.
D.A. Carol Iski informed the panel the department received a grant in order to hire another attorney for the office. They hope to have another attorney hired within the next two to three weeks.
However, there is now an issue of where to have space for the additional person. A proposed plan is to build extra office space in the back of the Bogus Check Division. All action has been tabled until further research into the construction can be completed.
