Item #12: DISCUSSION ONLY/NO ACTION to consider using $32,727.00 of deductible funds to pay for a Sheriff Deputy vehicle which was totaled upon being sideswiped by a tow truck on July 18, 2023. Bret Bowling, stated he disagreed that this should not be taken out deductible fund, I was not sure if this was a procedure process. We had been working an accident with Oklahoma Highway Patrol on the Turnpike, when the tow truck sideswiped and totaled the vehicle. Insurance stated they will recover from the Tow Company and this does not even cover the total replacement cost of the vehicle. The Board asked the Sheriff to look into why we are being asked to use our deductible fund and report back to the Board next week.

Item #13: Motion was made by Stephens and seconded by Whitehouse to allow the Chairman to sign the Reimbursement Contract between the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and the Creek County Commissioners for an Environmental Officer Grant for the Sheriff up to $32,000.00. Bowling stated this is our third year in participating in this grant. We have been able to have a couple of dump days for our county. We would like to do more, but this is restricted on how much funds we can receive. Mortazavi asked Bowling if he knew when he would be reimbursed for the past two years grants. You had borrowed from your Sheriff Service Fee account to fund this grant on a reimbursement basis and we still have not received to our knowledge the reimbursement to pay back the account. The Auditor's typically like to see that money paid back within the same fiscal year. Bowling stated he will look into it. Vote as follows: Stephens - Aye, Anthamatten - Aye, Whitehouse - Aye.
