The Washington County Commissioners may vote to approve an option agreement and memorandum to acquire real property for a new fairgrounds site when they meet again.

District 1 Commissioner Mitch Antle voted no on this item last Monday during the Washington County Budget Board meeting before it advanced to the Board of Washington County Commissioners for consideration.

Commissioner Antle said he sees this topic from the interest of the taxpayer's protection in that they should put the money in an escrow account as quickly as they can but only to protect the taxpayer. Antle said he wants to keep this issue from hanging over the heads of taxpayers because he believes they are in a position of liability with the way the item sits right now. He said he is not pleased that they are in this position.

The Washington County Commissioners will meet on Monday, May 16, at 9:30 a.m. on the second floor of the Administration Building at 400 S. Johnstone Avenue in Bartlesville.
