The Nowata County Commission held their weekly Meeting on Monday.

 

 On the agenda were various items including improvements to the Nowata County Courthouse. Work on the building's pipes is slated to begin on Wednesday. 

The issue of Emergency Management was also discussed. Emergency Management Coordinator Laurie Summers says there have been updates from the state of Oklahoma in Emergency Management.

 

 In another issue, last week Summers recommended that the County declare a burn ban in Nowata County. Summers said that despite rain over the weekend in the area there is still a fire threat in Nowata County. While the County determined to not issue an immediate burn ban, the issue will be revisited next week.
