County to Assist Correctional Center to Reduce Contraband

This week at the meeting of the Osage County Board of County Commissioners, the commissioners received a report from the Osage County Nutrition Program and approved INCOG applications, signed a letter of compliance for the Bellissima Ranch and Resort in Sperry so they may build a wedding chapel and obtain a liquor license, and approved $1,500 to the County Building/Courthouse Review Committee to hire Frank Lorenzo to draft building layout designs for the Kennedy Building, the Whiting Building, and the County Courthouse.

Another item the Commissioners discussed was the signing of an inter-local agreement with the Dick Conner Correctional Center in District 3. The Correctional Center has asked for assistance from the County in order to clear the area around the observation towers. The Correctional Facility has been having an issue with individuals using debris around the fence line to conceal tossing contraband over the fence. The Commissioners signed the agreement.

The Commissioners will meet again next Monday at the Osage County Courthouse in Pawhuska at 10am.
