[0:15] Let's call the order of the board of
[0:16] county commissioners meeting for Monday,
[0:17] December 1st, 2025. Roll call.
[0:20] » Commissioner Ce here.
[0:22] » Commissioner Dunkerley here.
[0:23] Commissioner Sims
[0:25] » Here. Please rise for the pledge of
[0:27] allegiance led by Deputy Kretic.
[0:30] Luke's pledgece
[0:32] to the flag of the United States of
[0:35] America and to the republic for it
[0:37] stands. One nation under God,
[0:40] indivisible, liberty and justice for
[0:43] all.
[0:47] » Thank you, deputy. Next item on agenda
[0:50] is going to be announcements. Alex,
[0:52] having fun out there this morning?
[0:54] » Uh yeah, good morning. Um just a few
[0:56] slick spots, mainly the overpasses. um
[0:59] crews were ready and took care of it. Uh
[1:01] the weather this week is going to be
[1:03] sketchy for paving. Normally for
[1:05] overlays, you need 45 and r 45 and
[1:08] rising. Um and we don't like to pave
[1:10] unless it's 50, otherwise you get cracks
[1:12] and poor compaction, that sort of thing.
[1:15] So, we'll see what we can get done. Um
[1:18] we're down in district 3 right now on
[1:21] 191st Street. So, if we get some good
[1:22] weather, we'll we'll try to get that
[1:24] laid. Um we're working on the
[1:26] reclamator. uh hopefully gets that fixed
[1:29] uh today or tomorrow. That way we can
[1:31] get back to uh the project we have in
[1:32] district one. And we're working on a
[1:35] bridge in district one uh up on 186th
[1:38] Street North. So um let me know if you
[1:41] have any questions.
[1:42] » Thank you, Alex.
[1:43] » Thank you.
[1:44] » Any other announcements?
[1:47] » Matt Parks.
[1:49] » Morning, ladies and gentlemen. Good
[1:50] morning.
[1:51] » Um, our team did uh to Alex's point, we
[1:54] did uh make stop by social services
[1:56] early settlement as well as election
[1:57] board this morning. So everything was
[1:59] good on those fronts. So our team's back
[2:01] in the park um but did stop at those
[2:03] locations. So if there's any challenges
[2:05] there, please let us know. Uh Friday,
[2:08] we've got trivia at Le Fortune. Uh so we
[2:10] got some teams want to try their 90s and
[2:12] 2000s trivia. So we still got some
[2:14] opportunity for there. And then
[2:15] Saturday, boots and bow ties out at
[2:17] South County. Um fatherdaughter dance
[2:19] out there. So, uh, if you have, uh,
[2:21] employees that want to take advantage of
[2:22] that reminder, half off on that. As well
[2:25] as we still have kid hoops open for
[2:27] registration on the basketball side
[2:29] across O'Brien, uh, Chandler and, uh,
[2:32] South County as well. So,
[2:35] » Excellent.
[2:38] » Bill Smiley, any updates?
[2:43] » Good morning.
[2:44] » Good morning.
[2:44] » Um, winter weather's going to continue
[2:46] for sure. It'll be cold, a little icy
[2:48] again tomorrow morning. Um, of course,
[2:51] the biggest thing is probably to follow
[2:52] the road and weather conditions and make
[2:54] sure you give yourself enough time to
[2:55] get to work and not be going 70 miles an
[2:58] hour over the overpass. So, City of
[3:01] Tulsa has done their uh ice melt work on
[3:03] the road, so they they've done pretty
[3:05] well with that. Adam Woodard is the u
[3:07] emergency manager for the city of Tulsa.
[3:10] Um, other than that, that's what we got.
[3:12] We're monitoring and uh I heard this
[3:14] morning that maybe I should have done a
[3:15] one hour delay. I'm sorry. I'll try to
[3:18] do better next time, sir.
[3:19] » Two hours.
[3:20] » Two there.
[3:21] » There we go. So,
[3:23] » Always an after action. Thank you, Alex.
[3:25] I appreciate that.
[3:26] » Sure.
[3:27] » So,
[3:27] » Uh, I did see the forecast when I walked
[3:30] in. They were saying something about
[3:31] afternoon possibly some snow pushing
[3:33] down.
[3:34] » Yeah, snow flurries. You bet.
[3:35] » In the afternoon commute. So, we'll just
[3:37] keep an eye on that.
[3:38] » Yes, sir. We'll do um I expect it to be
[3:41] this way probably this week. The
[3:43] temperature, it's one of those periods
[3:44] where it's real cold in the morning,
[3:46] then it's going to be warmer in the
[3:47] afternoon. So, it'll go back and forth,
[3:48] which will put people in a lull
[3:50] actually. So, preparing for that
[3:52] afternoon, that early morning is
[3:53] probably the key, which we'll continue
[3:54] to do with the text um to the
[3:56] commissioners and deputies to let you
[3:58] know what we're up to. So, appreciate
[4:00] it.
[4:01] » Very good. Thanks, Bill. Great.
[4:02] » Yep. Bill.
[4:03] » Yes, sir.
[4:04] » Question. Yeah. I know you mentioned uh
[4:06] that you stayed in touch or with city of
[4:08] Tulsa crews. How about the county? Have
[4:10] you been in communication with our
[4:11] county work?
[4:12] » I sent Alex an email this morning about
[4:13] it and uh so we're going to huddle with
[4:15] that and um make sure that we're
[4:17] covering all the areas that we've got in
[4:18] the county or if he needs any help. I'm
[4:20] sure he is, but you know, if he needs
[4:22] any help, then be happy to do that as
[4:23] well.
[4:24] » Great. Very good. Thanks, Bill.
[4:28] » Any other announcements?
[4:31] Michael Willis. Well, it's almost the
[4:34] holiday season, which means for our
[4:36] thousands of viewers out there, I'd like
[4:38] for people to know that it's a big
[4:39] season for deed fraud.
[4:42] » I know it's kind of Grinch type talk,
[4:44] but um people can sign up for our record
[4:47] radar product online. It's a recording
[4:50] not notification service, totally free.
[4:53] Go to county clerk.tulsaccounty.org.
[4:56] That's it. Thank you.
[4:58] » Thank you, Commissioner Dunkerley.
[5:00] Travel safe out there. Treasure
[5:03] » Treasurer Figuel.
[5:04] » Uh sorry about my tardiness, but real
[5:06] quick, I just want to let you guys know
[5:08] that we are doing our remote locations.
[5:10] We started them this morning. Uh for
[5:12] this week we're at the Bank of Oklahoma
[5:14] at 61st in Yale, the American Bank of
[5:16] Oklahoma in Collinsville, uh the Tulsa
[5:19] County Clerk Satellite Office in Broken
[5:21] Arrow, um Security Bank at uh 51st and
[5:25] 169, and at Mabberry Bank at uh
[5:28] basically 151st of Memorial. So, uh, we
[5:31] try to get out and spread it around, uh,
[5:33] to be able to allow the citizens, you
[5:35] know, we always talk about the history
[5:38] of of county government and everything
[5:39] is supposed to be a horse ride away. And
[5:42] so, uh, even though we're you can get
[5:43] across Tulsa County about an hour, um,
[5:45] people still don't like to come downtown
[5:47] and and, uh, park the car and come
[5:49] upstairs. So, uh, we we try to get those
[5:51] satellite locations out there to to, uh,
[5:55] allow people to pay their taxes a little
[5:57] easier. So, just want to let everybody
[5:59] know that we're out there. Thanks, John.
[6:01] » Thank you.
[6:04] » Very good, Commissioner.
[6:05] » Oh, just it was a big weekend at Expo
[6:07] Square. BMX was in town for their
[6:10] championship series and so heads and
[6:12] beds, restaurants were full. Just lots
[6:15] lot of people coming in from all over
[6:16] the country for that event. So, it was
[6:18] big. And more more events uh coming up.
[6:21] Uh they'll be gearing up for the uh
[6:23] shootout coming up in a few weeks. And
[6:25] that'll be more hundreds if not
[6:28] thousands of people into into this
[6:30] region staying all over the area. So big
[6:32] time for Expo Square in the next month
[6:34] and a half.
[6:35] » Sure.
[6:36] » Yeah. Thank you.
[6:37] » Very good. Thank you, Commissioner.
[6:38] Well, happy Thanksgiving everybody. Glad
[6:40] to see everybody this morning. I know it
[6:41] was a little sketchy on the travel. Uh
[6:45] nice deer, Director Parker, that I saw
[6:47] out there. Matter of fact, saw a few
[6:49] deers uh around. So, uh, Matt, uh,
[6:53] another nice one. I think John had one
[6:55] or a couple. So, good to see everybody

[8:51] Smiley for not declaring a a late day
[8:54] for us that u are on call and have to be
[8:57] at work. It makes my people feel a lot
[8:58] better. So, thank you. And I'm sorry
[9:00] everybody else is mad at you. [laughter]
[9:04] Uh
[9:06] last week, uh we had uh interviewed a
[9:09] couple people. Um we we sent one forward
[9:12] for hire, but um two staff that we had
[9:16] uh chose to self-terminate uh based on
[9:19] on uh working with some violent kids.
[9:22] They decided it wasn't for them. That's
[9:24] the challenge we continue to face. And
[9:27] uh we've uh hired a few months ago a a
[9:31] new training officer come from the
[9:32] federal government who's just
[9:33] phenomenal. and he's reaching out to
[9:36] other parts of the country and trying to
[9:39] try to see if there's some way to
[9:41] reinvent the wheel. Um we we've reached
[9:44] out to contacts across the country that
[9:46] I know and and everybody's uh suffering
[9:48] the same scenarios. Uh it's just tough
[9:52] working with uh our juvenile populations
[9:55] uh because some of the restrictions in
[9:56] some of our federal laws and some of our
[9:58] state laws. uh we're continuing to look
[10:01] ways to remedy that whether at the state
[10:03] level or the federal level. And so uh
[10:05] anybody that has any contacts or any
[10:07] input on on ways to improve or or maybe
[10:10] change the way that we do business, we'd
[10:12] love that input. U other than I don't
[10:14] have anything. Thank you.
