County participants said they have weekly check-ins with the contractor, identified in the meeting as Easley Construction, and that progress is occurring in phases. Officials and meeting participants described concrete work, upcoming plumbing and roof repairs, and differing opinions among stakeholders about flooring options for a senior center area. One participant said the roof leak is slowing interior finish work, while others said certain concrete patches are acceptable and can be finished.

No formal motion or vote about the contractor or contract terms appears in the provided transcript excerpt; the discussion focused on scheduling, quality concerns and next steps to complete the project.

Why it matters: delays and quality disputes on county construction projects can affect project timelines, budgets and service availability for county programs such as senior services.

Next steps: staff will continue to monitor the contractor’s progress, confirm sequencing for roofing and sewer work, and coordinate with stakeholders about finishing the interior flooring as appropriate.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Woods County Commissioners May 27, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Commissioners discussed construction delays, a leaking roof and slow sewer work at a county building; the contractor Easley was named and staff described ongoing weekly check-ins but no formal action was taken.","taxTitle","Woods County, Oklahoma","taxId",70729,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6547982,"Woods County discusses transfer of highway appropriations between accounts",72,401000,473000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3517331-bf18fbdd8d66b818b9dd11669a341a73&start=401&end=473","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3517331-bf18fbdd8d66b818b9dd11669a341a73/thumbnail_401000.jpg","/articles/6547982/Woods-County/Oklahoma/Woods-County-discusses-transfer-of-highway-appropriations-between-accounts","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6547982-ca2a515e2c1b03012572b9f1b154039c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771135473&Signature=CwBtDee5ddsdE9TDbvq9J~d4kYos9My7dduxrZjfaLAErdEy7x2AX7LF8YTtEqTKhbD5Wh3JwIYIZE3OxjhLV1S1q-lO8GM-t9tQFxHKJZ1ZEI2wJTcivyw~qAMgqfRLss0XRQoPYwqf9fATtKI83bhrQsUxVk0KjGbZ7xdNT6cpqbo~PpiUTzpqHXWmgvc~ACi9RUDWJct3ytM5mRxNjocOWPQW4XVo0xnDp0HkySvXfO8CRxO~BGXohISWdeeRsUwELwRq8PjLx3nWlnN5LZxpzsZ4hMNMduC6uGikZZr25sEkOB1UyEoEk90uY7uK3wcwGzaQMc4YZtIOvHvBng__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Woods County commissioners discussed transferring appropriations between Highway District 1 CIRB accounts and Highway District 1 personal services accounts.

During discussion staff cited specific amounts; the meeting transcript records the phrasing as \"15,920 hundred dollars and 18¢\" for one transfer and \"15,020.29 18\" for another, reflecting unclear numeric transcription in the record. Staff explained these are transfers of already-allotted funds between line items and not related to the broader road-mile allocation conversation raised elsewhere in the meeting.

Commissioners discussed the timing and purpose of the transfers and signaled agreement to proceed; the excerpt does not include a full roll-call vote. The transcript indicates the transfers move existing, previously allotted money from one account to another rather than creating new appropriations.

Why it matters: reallocation between highway accounts changes where funds are tracked for personnel versus project construction. That affects payroll and project budgeting within the county’s highway department.

Next steps: county staff will carry out the transfers and reflect the changes in account records; the transcript excerpt does not contain final accounting entries or a full vote tally.","The board discussed moving funds between Highway District 1 CIRB and Highway District 1 personal services accounts; amounts were stated in the record but the transcript excerpt does not provide a formal roll-call tally.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6547986,"Woods County approves surplus of two courthouse recording camera systems",56,280000,336000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3517331-bf18fbdd8d66b818b9dd11669a341a73&start=280&end=336","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3517331-bf18fbdd8d66b818b9dd11669a341a73/thumbnail_280000.jpg","/articles/6547986/Woods-County/Oklahoma/Woods-County-approves-surplus-of-two-courthouse-recording-camera-systems","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6547986-438e8403fcc0442909086a4b96e4be05/orig.mp4?Expires=1771135473&Signature=Phg5~PqE3-1ltpTzSznFSA9uyG5BPmyVGPoiZQTNFhPh7Cq6DX4XCVRB0GIFAnQcWR-sauhHmMLC0SPaokobF1fGbk-zYmgfRxUnMVCK1xI4-SRiI2HvosZKqB84xo7SmWawZ9eM9AIJ4OkTO4nna7pjYsk37RCIWi4NM~tPlTIwbISyr-kQ6SZ3IoONLTCCENJumjbnhtiprNJobIXgO3pg-9EnNFpl~4HjwtIaXRTfI44hgtsrhI2zEboQr3UIpVCBBQ~TuPIPx4HNp4vyIwibNMIoxzx9Z8zUvOkStnTxMDJTy-3zSqOBjLRxAniN-8GxgHiIMp-NeoWsTuVDpQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Woods County commissioners approved declaring two recording camera systems surplus and authorized junking the equipment after confirming the correct inventory numbers.

The meeting record shows staff clarified the equipment identification numbers; staff said one entry mistakenly duplicated a digit and the correct courthouse inventory number is B615012, while the other device is B615011. Officials confirmed both items are used by the sheriff’s office and belong to courthouse inventory.

A motion to surplus and junk the two camera systems was made and seconded; the record shows the board voted in favor.

Why it matters: surplus and disposal of law-enforcement recording equipment affects county property records, asset tracking and chain-of-custody for any stored recordings. The county will follow disposal procedures for county-owned equipment.","The board approved declaring two recording camera systems surplus and to junk the equipment after correcting an identification number in the item description.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6547991,"Woods County approves appointment of Levi London to excise equalization board",57,139000,196000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3517331-bf18fbdd8d66b818b9dd11669a341a73&start=139&end=196","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3517331-bf18fbdd8d66b818b9dd11669a341a73/thumbnail_139000.jpg","/articles/6547991/Woods-County/Oklahoma/Woods-County-approves-appointment-of-Levi-London-to-excise-equalization-board","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6547991-fa218eceb5e6b0bb5ba8bebc95e0a51f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771135473&Signature=ktveN~vGjyQCgcFBbr6iJkLNXtuGSoteOPdoa3M60a9SEBYuIAHHt4BoniA8gr7M8QhUM6QRonmEGrgN8~ErsmgNyoY112Q01dl64X8ks2slAPDo5s6wa8hFeiQgp1rdyVl-G1SCKrrpenT5LzvDZxGXMRzY73N~QHalnG4r0albVEjT-xykQFYRQJzrvkoQ-8f69i3Q5i0X2bhav3y3HfAzG3KEUrE-PMtVv9JAyD4lkBHWBouTtfdnye7N8fNczKhc6KMfKiw6csJTmh5lOBgK~~lpXsAtGQpXHhHqzG-vhPacpt~nAcK5WDnTE~DxsyC0FGVbus~12eL5vryrNg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Woods County commissioners moved to appoint Levi London to the county excise equalization board and approved the appointment during the meeting.

Board members discussed London’s local ties and background. One meeting participant said London runs a ranch and has two school-age children; the transcript records positive endorsement language and a motion and second in support of the appointment. The transcript does not include a formal roll-call vote listing individual votes.

Why it matters: the excise equalization board reviews property tax and appraisal matters; membership can influence hearings and decisions that affect local property owners.

The county noted that one related line in the discussion referenced a $25-per-day amount for detention services and that the county typically transports juveniles and is later reimbursed by the state agency. The transcript does not record a named speaker for the $25-per-day figure; the amount was stated during the contract discussion as quoted in the meeting record.

Commissioners moved and seconded the item during the meeting; the record indicates the matter was advanced but does not include a detailed roll-call tally in the transcript excerpt provided.

Why it matters: the county’s transportation contract determines how juvenile detainees are moved to state facilities and how the county is reimbursed for those costs. The renewal affects departmental budgets and daily operational duties for sheriff’s office personnel who provide transport.

Next steps: the meeting record shows the board approved proceeding with the renewal; additional contract terms, effective dates and final reimbursement details were not specified in the transcript excerpt and would be included in the formal contract document.","The Woods County board discussed and moved to renew a fiscal-year 2026 contract with the Oklahoma Office of Juvenile Affairs for detention transportation; the meeting record references a $25-per-day detention service amount and reimbursement arrangement.","actionData","errors"]
