The Nowata County Commissioners met for their regular meeting on Monday morning at the Nowata County Courthouse Annex.

During the unfinished business portion of the agenda, the commissioners talked about a proposed hiring freeze in Nowata County. They had tabled the item previously to speak to attorneys about the legality of such a freeze. Evidentially, the county commissioners are not able to put a hiring freeze in place unless it is dictated by the Governor.

Bud Frost Explains.

The commissioners took the item off the agenda. Frost said they could disapprove of new hirings, but they cannot take any actual action to stop hirings from happening.

All other items on the agenda were approved.

The Nowata County Commissioners meet every Monday morning at 9:00 at the Nowata County Courthouse Annex.
