MONDAY, MAY 14, 1973
A regular meeting, of the Payne County Board of County
Commissioners, was held Monday, May 14, 1973. The meeting
was called to order at 9:40 A.M. the minutes, of the May 7,
1973 meeting, were approved, as presented.
Six (6) Southwestern Bell Telephone underground line/
cable permits were approved.
Twelve (12) letters, from Cushing, were received, read
and recognized by the board.
Commissioner Cruzan presented a petition, from Mr. Earl
Fairchild, requesting that a "Fit1" be put in on a road, located
on his property, said road going east, from SH 108.
Commissioner Mayfield stated, and the Payne County surveyor
concurred, that no dedication had been accepted; that cattle
guards were erected across the
"RoadS'; that the road had
"private" signs POSted; therefore, the board could only assume
the road in question was a private roadand not subject to county
maintenance. However, in order to be positive, the county
surveyor was instructed to again search for any document of
record noting acceptance of dedication. No further action was
taken.
Commissioner Mayfleld then presented a Rowland Rock claim
which contained irregularities in the signing of some tickets
by a county employee. The district attorney's opinion was that
no criminal intent was involved and the county suffered no loss,
however, the district attorney further stated that it was poor
practice to allow someone, other than the driver, to sign the
tickets, and that the matter should be brought to the attention
of the foreman. Note: Mr. Cruzan stated that some tickets
were signed the day after the rock was received, by the supplier's
employee, as the supplier's employee was not present when the
rock was picked up. Commissioner Overholt made a motion to
hold the claim and tickets over, for further study, before taking
action.
Payne county surveyor, Darrell Mecklenburg, presented his
evaluation of bids for chipping and sealing 6.8 mAles of
miscellaneous roads. The low bid was submitted by Evans
and Throop Cnstruction Company, Incorporated, said bid in
the amount of $24,350.32. However, becauss of the transposition
of numbers, in regards to the ton quantity of cover material,
the bid price submitted wasloweredto$19,296.32. Commissioner
Overholt made a motion to accept Evans and Throop's low bid,
provided that the low bid price was lowered to $19,296.32, as
corrected. Commissioner Cruzan seconded the motion. The
motion carried by a unanimous vote. (said contract to be paid
for from Federal Revenue Sharing Funds.)
Payne county surveyor, Darrell Mecklenburg, then presented
his evaluation of the bids submitted on the fairgrounds road.
The low bidder was Kerns Construction Company, with a bid
of $47,175.78. However, since there was such a diverse
discrepancy between the county surveyor's original
recommendation and the bid prices submitted, the surveyor
explained that his estimate was based on a project done last
summer, and that the project used was not representative.
Upon further calculations, based upon representative projects,
and allowing for acceptable material price increases, the
surveyor stated the true estimate should have been $48,580.56.
With this new estimate in mind, the submitted bids were
reasonable. Commissioner Overholt made a motion to accept
the low bid price of $47,175.78, submitted by Kerns Construction,
Inoorporaied. Commissioner Cruzan seconded the motion.
Roll was called, producing the following vote:
OVERHOLT.. AYE
CRUZAN .... AYE
MAYFIELD... AYE
The motion carried, by unanimous vote. (said contract to be
paid for from Federal Revenue Sharing Funds.)
The Payne County surveyor, Darrell Mecklenburg, then
presented his estimates of the District I roads. Mr.
Mecklenburg then stated that the new Drake Addition and Country
Club Heights subdivisions both have streets platted, but not all
streets are open, therefore, he would have to visually check
out the streets before drawing up the bid proposals. He further
stated that he could have the above-mentloned streets checked
out in order to publish the bids in the Thursday, May 17, 1973
edition of the paper. The bids will be published May 17 and
May 24, 1973, and bids will be opened on May 31, 1973.
Commissioner Mayfield then presented a claim, from
Continental Oil Company. The claim involved two (2) charges,
in the amount of $505.93. Note: Both charges were incurred
by the previous Board of County Commissioners, and for some
reason, Continental had failed to file a claim for either charge.
R was the District Attorney's opinion, that since the claim
was a legitimate obligation, R should be processed for payment.
Commissioner Overholt made a motion to pay the claim, on
the advice of the District Attorney. Commissioner Cruzan
seconded the motion. The roll was called, producing the following
vote~
OVERHOLT... AYE
CRUZAN ..... AYE
MAYFIELD... AYE
Commissioner Mayfield then presented a claim for
reimbursement to the Department of Institutions, Social and
Rehabilitative Services, in the amount of $405.71, for commodity
loss or over-issue. Note: The state audit report, which is
attached to the claim, contains the statement, by one
commissioner, that daring the month of October, 1972, he issued
to everyone who requested commodities. Even so, it was the
District Attorney's opinion that a court case would cost the
county approximately $2,000.00, therefore, It would be more
feasible to pay the $405.71 claim out of the CountySs General
funds. Commissioner Cruzan made a motion to pay the $405.71
claim, for commodity shortage, from the General Fund, on
the advice of the District Attorney. Commissioner Overholt
seconded the motion. Roll was called, producing the following
voter
OVERHOLT... AYE
MAYFIELD. ,. AYE
CRUZAN ..... AYI~
Commissioner Mayfield then recalled that at a previous
meeting, the Board passed a resolution to sell the Stillwater
and Cushing Warehouses. As originally passed, the resolution
provided for the sale of Lots 1, 2/3, 4, 5 and 6 (or 1/2)
of the land involved in the Cushing Warehouse location. After
further study, it has been decided, Commissioner Mayfteld
continued, that all land could be included for sale. This means
the addition of Lots 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 could now be included
in the resolution, as pertaining to the sale of the Cushing
Warehouse. Commissioner Overholt made a motion to draw up
a new resolution, to include Lots 1 through 12. inclUsive, in the
Legal Description of the Cushing Warehouse, and that all lots
be included for sale. There being no second, Commissioners
Mayfield and Overholt changed chairs, and Commissioner
Mayfield seconded the motion. Roll was called, producing the
following vote:
OVERHOLT.,.. AYE
MAYFIELD... AYE
CRUZAN ..... NO
The motion carried by a 2-I vote.
Commissioner Mayfield then stated that at a previous meeting,
the first half, of the first entitlement of Revenue Sharing
Monies, for the year 1973, had been allocated and published
on the Governmental Form, as required by the Federal
Government. Commissioner Mayfield then said, as a double
precaution, he was presenting a resolution confirming the
allocation, as it was originally processed, for inclusion in the
permanent county records. Commissioner Overholt made a
motion to accept the resolution. Commissioner Cruzan seconded
the motion. Roll was called, producing the following vote:
OVERHOLT... AYE
CRUZAN .... AYE
MAYFIELD... AYE
The motion carried, by unanimous vote•
Commissioner Mayfleld then inquired about aletter, received
from United Laboratories, regarding the double shipment of
an order. Commissioner Overholt stated that he understood
the matter had been taken care of, but to be on the safe side,
he requested that the United Laboratories sales representative,
Mr. Jim Palmer, be contacted. Commissioner Mayfleld stated
he would contact Mr. Palmer.
Commissioner Mayfleld then presented a petition to vacate
county roads, from Cleq Fitsgerald, Attorney, on behalf of
Charlie Vincent, Et AI. The petitioners, developers of the
proposed Stiilwater Auto Plaza, were going to re-plat the Plaza.
Commissioner Overholt made a motion to pass a resolution
to vacate county roads, with a hearing to be held Monday, June
11, 1973, at 9:30 A.M. Commissioner Cruzan seconded the
motion. The motion carried, unanimously.
