This week the Osage County Commissioners received an update from Eagle Medical Transport, approved the use of tables and chairs for the Pawhuska Chamber of Commerce, and approved property and liability insurance for the Osage County Health Department.
Laura Ward, Vice-President of Eagle Medical Transport provided the Commissioners with an update Monday. Ward discussed the opt out program through Verdigris Valley Electric and Barnsdall City Water. Ward told the Commissioners they would need approximately 80 percent of the coverage area, 2,100 addresses, to opt in to the membership in order to remain operational in Osage County. Ward said she is very hopeful and will not be closing Eagle Med's doors on May 1, however if they do not meet quota, they will be unable to stay. Joni Nash, from the Pawhuska Chamber of Commerce, requested the use of tables and chairs for their Chamber Gala this weekend, which the commissioners approved as long as chamber members are loading and returning the equipment. Last year for the same event the County was audited for using County equipment and funds for a non-county event. The issue was resolved but county personnel cannot be paid to assist a private function. The Osage County Board of County Commissioners will meet again next Monday at 10am at the Osage County Courthouse in Pawhuska. Comments are closed.
