Officials closer to finalizing county handbook | News

Woodward County commissioners had another three-hour meeting Monday morning, this time in the basement of the courthouse.

Jeff Barron spoke to commissioners about a planned Christian film project called “Expunged”. The board of directors approved some scenes to be shot on the courthouse grounds.

“The last movie this company made, Broken Chains, had a Dove seal of approval, which is very hard to come by,” said Barron. “We’ll need several extras to fill in the background.”

No representative appeared at the meeting for the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority (OMMA) Certificate of Conformity (OMMA) meeting for Rantian, LLC in NE of NE Section 12 T20N R21W on 40 acres in District 2, so no action was taken.

Letters were submitted by County Clerk Wendy Dunlap following information for Petal Acres LLC in an area in Section 21 T23N R19W on 10 acres in District 1, Royalty Strainz, LLC in Section 30 T23N R19W on 30.48 acres in District 1 and Red Hills Rolling reviewed Co.

A resolution was passed on the acceptance of the employee opt-out, who receives a monthly amount instead of the flexible performance bonus.
