3:48

The only question I would have is like is there something in the budget that's are we doing with the vacant with the empty building over there?

3:55

Is there anything in the budget addressed to that outside of just uh no maintenance, no repair?

4:02

That is a so the technically the library operates the library inside buildings provided by the municipality.

4:09

So that's a that's a city issue.

4:11

Okay, so then the question then is really well, okay.

4:14

Whatever staffing people, you know, whatever the library's cost books for that building people, yeah.

Summary of Proceedings

Cleveland County Excise Board Special Meeting - June 11, 2026

The Cleveland County Excise Board held a special meeting on Thursday, June 11, 2026, at the Cleveland County Office Building in Norman, OK. The meeting was called to order at approximately 11:30 AM (the agenda indicated 11:00 AM). Notice of the meeting was properly posted on June 8, 2026. The board addressed three agenda items, all passed unanimously.

Public Comments & Testimony

  • No public comments were made; no one requested to speak.

Discussion Items

Item 1: FY 2026/2027 Cleveland County Budget

  • A motion was made to strike this item from the agenda because the budget will be presented at the June 25, 2026 excise board meeting. The motion was seconded and carried unanimously (3-0).

Item 2: Transfer of Funds from COMM ARPA 2021

  • The board discussed and approved the transfer of $389,000.00 from COMM ARPA 2021 - Maintenance & Operations (112120-54000) to COMM ARPA 21021 - Infrast Needs Co Bld Prj (112120-54827) for repair work on the roof of the building located at 122 E. Eufaula. The motion was approved unanimously (3-0).

Item 3: 2026/2027 Preliminary Budget for Pioneer Library System

  • The board received the preliminary budget approved by the Pioneer Library System Board of Trustees on May 19, 2026. During discussion, a board member asked whether the budget was typical in amount and whether it addressed a vacant building; staff clarified that the library operates in buildings provided by the municipality, making building maintenance a city issue. The board noted it could table or return questions to the library system if needed. The motion to receive the budget was approved unanimously (3-0). The board also noted that the PLS letter included the date "approved by the excise board on June 11, 2026," which was presumptuous.

  • The $389,000 fund transfer for roof repair at 122 E. Eufaula was approved unanimously.
