Alva Review-Courier -

As usual, commissioners in Alfalfa County spent their Monday morning poring over large stacks of purchase orders and warrants for payment; nothing else on the agenda demanded more time.

After signing off on each, the three men (Jay Hague, Stan Tucker and Marvin Woodall) moved on to give approval for an AEC patronage check (just over $800) to be divided up against Alfalfa County's fire departments. The check is made out to the Alfalfa County Hospital, which no longer exists, in turn allowing commissioners to apply the money into different accounts.

Next approved was the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) for fiscal year 18-19, followed by a monthly maintenance agreement with Office Solutions, Inc. on a copy machine in the county clerk's office.

Commissioners gave signatures on the last few remaining agenda items, as little discussion was necessary. These items included a routine contract agreement with Eastern Oklahoma Youth Services and Alfalfa County for Juvenile Detention Services, permission for the county clerk to send publication for public auction on a 2012 John Deere backhoe (and to send item for public auction), and the declaration of surplus – along with a resolution for its disposal – on a 2014 Ford 4x4 truck from the sheriff's office. The county clerk was also approved going out on bid for 12-month ballots for the election office.

For the week, there were two road crossing permits: a single in District 2 for $3,375 and a single in District 3 for $500.
