Board members approved a claim listed as “Goodell Stratton, Edmonds, and Palmer” for GRDA relicensing and associated complaint proceedings, described in the meeting transcript as being \"in the amount of $165.\" Trust staff said that if the claims on the GRDA litigation and a related item were approved, the remaining litigation budget would be $731,451.10 for the fiscal year. The board separately approved a Hollisville claim for $8,255.70.

During the discussion staff noted prior coordination with outside counsel; the transcript records that Hollisville counsel attended meetings and helped draft settlement wording. Trustees moved and seconded approval of the claims and recorded unanimous affirmative votes on the motions.

Trust staff did not provide additional breakdowns of the $165 figure for the Goodell Stratton/Edmonds and Palmer claim during the recorded discussion, and the transcript does not specify whether that figure is dollars, partial payment, or shorthand for a larger amount.

Minutes for the meeting were approved as presented.

Utility staff explained that Substation 2, rebuilt about six years earlier, uses a double-breaker configuration where one relay controls two breakers and coordinates transfer when a feeder or GRDA transmission feed is lost. Staff said timing and settings issues have caused transfer problems; the consultant will update settings, then install and commission those settings to ensure proper operation and avoid back-feeding to transmission.

A staff presenter named Derek described the work as an electronics and programming update that should shorten outage duration for affected customers and better protect the transmission side. Derek said the upgrade is intended to limit outages to a few seconds when transfers work as intended and that the substation serves multiple industrial customers.

Trustees moved and seconded approval and recorded unanimous affirmative votes on the motion.

Trust staff noted that the relay work is separate from the authority’s AMI meter procurement and is focused on breaker/relay coordination.","Trust approved a contract with SEL Engineering Service Inc. to review and commission relay settings at Substation 2 to improve transfer coordination; staff said the work aims to reduce outage duration for industrial customers.",{"_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},6428006,"Trust approves lease-purchase for replacement trash truck with First National Bank financing",53,296000,349000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5907207-e5b519ff2f812a00544ad8a74f21e400&start=296&end=349","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5907207-e5b519ff2f812a00544ad8a74f21e400/thumbnail_296000.jpg","/articles/6428006/Miami/Ottawa-County/Oklahoma/Trust-approves-lease-purchase-for-replacement-trash-truck-with-First-National-Bank-financing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6428006-f91a6eef36084e757d0d0b11b3e9ac8d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771163679&Signature=UK-bqVtoALCaUwUE7DZq5-dCkhxzDBEoED71KjEZ81qphgCOLPjE10YJAFOaBD78B09OkvvG3kty8d8aXbIe4wEkMy24WcJIVhriUOgaGnRYeOnDmrH-hy1lmHiyTC5R2X-JnSKC5JJjTQUVMi4RM0OejkS5KAlQovvZItSj55zblwh5iWSsty3kTR7qr0noVU4hdmkotG7tip08y61pS7hTzx~hSqVKYY4JwHkr4v1M8jCJ0x1uU6sJBSyCuf2hm4ixdYQY6ZbtjvMWkOunNUBgj-IM0ACRkJMzcajtDilsT32qUW5AkLXdHB3CKpchLv3EaVRlYwu5bfuUAz6pSg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Trust approved a lease-purchase agreement to finance a new trash truck (C25-63) with First National Bank as the lender, subject to legal approval and with signing/payment authority delegated to the trust manager or his designee.

Staff solicited quotes from four lending institutions; First National Bank submitted the lowest package, beating the next closest bidder by $500.58. Trustees moved and seconded approval and the motion passed with recorded affirmative votes.
