The Nowata County Commissioners met Monday morning to discuss a few important topics which led to some tense conversation.

 Nowata County Treasurer Rachell Marrs had questions for Commissioner Troy Friddle surrounding enforcement of handbook rules.

Marrs says it can be a struggle to enforce certain rules when other rules are not being enforced. 

Marrs is referencing instances where county employees are driving work vehicles to and from their homes. Friddle responded to Marrs by saying many of those employees like those in the sheriff's office and on county road crews are on the clock as soon as they are in their vehicles. 

The commissioners next approved an election board reimbursement claim before also awarding a bid on road oil.

The commissioners will meet again next Monday at 9 am at the Nowata County Courthouse Annex
