Second installment due for 911 system

The second installment payment of $26,813 for the three-year agreement on the emergency notification system has come due.

According to Paulette Nicholas, deputy director of Grady County Emergency Management, the municipalities and fire departments of Minco, Amber, Ninnekah, Verden, Alex and Rush Springs, along with the Grady County Fire Department, pay $50 per month to go toward the mergency notification system. Nicholas said the balance of the account is around $6,000, leaving the rest, about $21,000, to be covered by the Grady County Commissioners.

Last year, the highway districts split the cost of the system, but the mergency notification system account funds may be used to fund part of the bill. The county clerk will notify the sheriff’s office about the funds and Commissioner Jack Porter made a motion to approve the three districts splitting the cost with some of the funds coming from the Revmergency notification system account.

Next, the board voted to approve a plat for Glen Arbor addition, excluding county road maintenance and there was no action taken on six-month road oil bids for all districts.

The board then accepted a bid of $1354.31 for a section of county-owned property in Rush Springs.

In other action, the commissioners voted to approve the correction of payment on a bid from Warren Cat for District One because the bid required payment and not a lease purchase, and also approved a motion to select Cobb Engineering Company of Oklahoma City for bridge inspections.
