Grady County Commissioners Regular Meeting October 13, 2026

At the October 13, 2026 Grady County Commissioners regular meeting, commissioners approved payment of previously denied purchase orders despite listed overages and purchasing-procedure issues, including amounts of $7.69, $41.73, $150, $84.20, $813.46, and $653, among others. They approved a one-time $6,000 reallocation to a new account and approved soliciting bids for phase two of the Temporary Judicial Center project—plumbing, electrical work, and woodwork finishing—under Bid No. 26-27-008. For Bid No. 26-27-005, covering office and courtroom equipment (transcribed as “drop”), commissioners approved the lowest bid from Industry Systems, consistent with the AOC’s recommendation. They also approved utility and road-crossing permits and blanket purchase orders.

The board discussed a $969,353.58 special assessment from the Oklahoma Public Employees Health and Welfare Plan; a motion was made not to pay it, but the transcript does not capture a clear vote. A proposed drug-court attorney-fee account was discussed, with a stated cost of about $500 per month, but its approval is not clear in the transcript. Commissioners approved depositing a $19,840 state emergency-management grant into the 911 capital-outlay account and an $11,028.34 opioid-settlement distribution into the opioid settlement account; the transcript introduces another $46,794.14 opioid-settlement deposit without capturing its disposition. A burn ban was not adopted, and the October 5 minutes were tabled.
