Vote as follows: Stephens - Aye, Warner - Aye, Whitehouse - Aye. Steve Kenneth Gram, Oilton Board Representative spoke to the Board. We are requesting a second water supply well; this would supply ample water for now and in the future. It would impact 1099 customers, fire department, and all citizens in our area. We had planned on teaming up with Town of Mannford on their Engineer, with the recent passing of the engineer, we are still searching at this time. We are caught up on our audits, satisfied all additional findings, we have a consent order to drill the well. We are looking at city property to place the second well. Project is estimated at $360,000.00; we have additional funding from our city ARPA in the amount of $171,000.00, plus any additional costs of the project. We would like to stay on the same existing line, if possible, if we have to look outside the city, then we would look at a grant through INCOG. Barbara Albritton, INCOG Representative stated we have all their information, we will need DEQ application to construct, well permit from Oklahoma Water Resource Board, as well. Warner asked if their delinquent ARPA reporting's have been completed? Gram stated yes, we completed last week.

Item #18: Discussion and possible action regarding the American Recovery Plan 2021 funds directed to Creek County by the federal government. A motion was made by Stephens and seconded by Whitehouse to sign Resolution#2022-78 stating that Creek County is participating in the American Rescue Plan 2021, which was signed into law March 11, 2021. Creek County has received $6,946,155.00, as second distribution of ARPA Funds and guidance has been issued from US Treasury and the State Auditor and Inspector's Office, the Board directs the ARPA funds to be accounted for with the fund named American Rescue Plan Act 2021, fund 1566, revenue code 9302, revenue code for interest 9008 and the Board directs that the receipt of ARPA funds be special apportioned into the personnel services sub-account 1566-1-2000-1110, to be transferred out to other sub-accounts of said fund, as directed by the Board of County Commissioners. Dana Logsdon, Deputy Commissioner stated we have received the second distribution and we need to sign the resolution. Vote as follows: Stephens - Aye, Warner - Aye, Whitehouse - Aye. (1) NO ACTION on discussion and possible action to consider using ARPA funds on road and bridge projects. (2) Motion was made by Stephens and seconded by Whitehouse to approve the use of ARPA Capital Outlay Funds for the Sheriff to purchase four Tahoe's that are rated for emergency responses and upfitting of the four vehicles, in the amount of $189,000.00 and approving the transfer $189,000.00 from 1566-1-2000-1110 ARPA2021 Salary Commissioners FY2021-2022 to 1566-1-2000-4110 ARPA2021 Capital Outlay Commissioners and establishing the project number 1566-6.1-0400-4110(B). Stephens stated after having some discussion with the Sheriff's Office and how we could help the budget. I thought the three extra cars that were being requested on the budget could be asked for under the ARPA monies. This would allow them to add one more deputy for Courthouse security that could man the metal detector and x-ray machine. They have already added three deputies to the budget, this would be adding one more and taking off the three extra cars. This would be a reduction of $88,000.00 from our estimate of needs request. There was discussion of the Dodge Charger not being available to purchase, so the Sheriff is opting for Tahoe's instead. The cost of the Tahoe is roughly $47,000.00 with upfitting, we may have to utilize some of our funds to finish the upfitting stated Bret Bowling, Sheriff. Bowling stated it will take time to hire the deputy to be at the courthouse and train that person. Also, I want to make it clear it is the rights of management to move that deputy around at any given time. With the upcoming laws that have been given by the federal government on mental health and our governor implementing law on school security, we don't know what all is coming and what all our agencies will be responsible for. We are not staffed currently; we could add up to ten deputies and still may not cover the county. With the money that is received by courthouse security fees, it is not enough to fund one deputy at the courthouse. Stephens asked Bowling your intent for the fourth deputy is to be courthouse security, Bowling yes. Joe Thompson, Under Sheriff stated they might be looking at additional ARPA requests for devices for the courthouse, Stephens stated there are other funds to consider like the Use Tax, Trust Funds and ARPA.
Public Comment: NONE
Adjournment: Motion was made by Stephens and seconded by Whitehouse at 10:18 a.m. to adjourn and meet again 7-5-22. Vote as follows: Stephens - Aye, Warner - Aye, Whitehouse - Aye.
