During a recent government meeting, officials approved the minutes from the September 3rd regular meeting and the September 6th special meeting. The motion to approve was unanimously carried.

The meeting featured several announcements, including the upcoming Rogers County Free Fair, scheduled for Thursday through Saturday, with a premium sale on Monday. Officials highlighted the fair's significance, noting its growth and community involvement, with over 25,000 attendees expected. Activities will include livestock shows, with lambs on Thursday, hogs on Friday, and cattle on Saturday, alongside a carnival that appeals to younger attendees. Fireworks are set to kick off the fair on Thursday evening.

Additionally, an update on broadband initiatives was provided. The county is collaborating with Cox Communications to enhance internet access, having recently launched the Takora Hills project and two additional phases that will expand service to 378 more homes. Two more projects are planned for the Foyle and Chelsea areas, with an estimated launch in early November. Cox is also pursuing a federal grant that could significantly increase broadband coverage in Rogers County to approximately 90%.

In other business, the Sheriff's Office announced it would decline to award a bid for burn material for a firearms range, as they have secured the necessary material from the state and will seek bids for transportation instead.
