Woodward, Okla. — COUNTY COMMISSION

Woodward County Commissioners are set to consider a petition from residents in the Windover Addition during their weekly meeting Monday morning.

According to the county’s agenda, the residents are wanting to have signs replaced banning 4-wheelers (ATVs) from the streets in the addition.

In other business, the commissioners will consider the acceptance of a $10,000 Justice Assistance Grant to be used toward the purchase of a vehicle for the sheriff’s office.  The commissioners are also set to open bids for a 2010 shortbed pickup for the sheriff’s office during Monday’s meeting.

Other agenda items include the monthly expenditure report for Northwest Domestic Crisis Services, allocation of the alcoholic beverage tax for March, and a utility permit request from Sandridge Energy & Production to bore two water lines under District No. 1 roads.
