County approves routine items
Woodward County commissioners have approved their cash fund estimate of needs and request for appropriations for November.
The appropriations, which totaled $251,505, were split three ways for each highway district. Each district received approximately $83,835.
The money for the appropriations comes from gasoline and fuel taxes and pays for maintenance of county roads, according to County Commission Chairman Ted Craighead.
The commissioners also approved a request from the city for a utility permit to bore a one-inch water line under a county road three quarters of a mile south of State Highway 15.
According to Woodward water superintendent Ed Laird, the water line will go to a house that someone purchased.
In other business, the commissioners accepted bids for grader blades and bolts for their three highway districts for a total $61.10 per blade from C.L. Boyd of Oklahoma City.
They also accepted two bids -- one from Diamond Services charging $120 an hour and one from West Oak charging $110 an hour-- for backhoe services for county roads in the county’s three highway districts.
