In attendance for the meeting were: Chairman Commissioner Shane Tomlinson, Vice-Chairman Commissioner Gilbert Wilson, Commissioner Marvin Dale, County Clerk Christie Henry, Assessor Joe McClour, Sheriff Tony Head, Election Board Secretary Racheal Feuerhelm, and Emergency Management Director Derrick Mixon.
The meeting began with the Board approving the blanket purchase orders and signing checks to be deposited.
There was only one purchase order for Hopewell Fire Department to the Ma and Pa’s Store in Coleman for fuel.
Checks that were signed included rent for counseling in the downstairs office, and a $20,650.00 check from the Choctaw Nation to District One for the Goss School Road project to install a water line.
There were no non-compliance purchase orders or payroll to be approved for this week.
The Board approved a commission for Jeremiah Teeters to be a Jailer/Dispatcher for the Atoka County Sheriff’s Office.
The Commissioners opened sealed bid #1079 for the Atoka County Election Board ballots.
There were two sealed bids with multiple prices for the different types of ballots. The first bid was from Royal Printing, and the second bid was from Midwest Printing.
With the advice of Election Board Secretary Racheal Feuerhelm the Board approved the sealed bid from Midwest Printing.
While Midwest Printing is approximately one half cent higher depending on the ballot size. Feuerhelm suggested the company due to their colored ballots.
“I still prefer Midwest because of the colored ballots when there is a multi-ballot election.” Feuerhelm commented.
There were no new updates from County Officials.
The current Covid count for Atoka County is: 856 positive cases with 754 recoveries. There are 102 active cases.
