Nowata Co. Commissioners Discuss Budget
Brian McSweeney
The Nowata County Commissioners met on Monday morning at the Nowata County Annex.
The commissioners submitted a worksheet for the 2025-2026 fiscal year. The original showed a deficit of approximately $71,800. Commissioner Troy Friddle and Emergency Manager Laurie Summers talked about using the contingency fund to erase the deficit.
The commissioners also continued their discussion on maintenance to radio towers for first responders. On Aug. 25, Commissioner Brandon Wesson announced a leak at a radio tower in Wann. Wesson talked about the risk of another leak if the decision is made to store equipment inside the tower.
The commissioners also talked about the Preserving and Advancing County Transportation (PACT) fund, that has been split equally between each district of the county. The board made the decision to allocate the funding solely based on the amount of miles of road in each county, instead of incorporating population of each county. Friddle talked about how redistricting plays a factor.
The Nowata County Commissioners meet every Monday morning at 9 a.m. at the Nowata County Annex.
