Mayes County Commissioners approved a close-out certification for the water line expansion with Rural Water District 5.

Tami McKeon of Grand Gateway said Monday that construction has been completed on the water line. Commissioners approved the certification of completion in the regular meeting Monday.

The extension of the water district will serve the Greer area, most of which is in Rogers County. The extension included approximately 16,000 linear feet of 10-inch water line, 28,400 feet of 6-inch water line, 20,000 feet of 4-inch water line and 5,300 feet of 3-inch water line.

The total project cost was $643,850. Grand Gateway gave a Community Block Development Grant of $250,000 on the project. RWD 5 put in a grant of $393,850 to match the CBDG and other funding.

Commissioners approved a payment of $2,300 to Guy Engineering on a right-of-way staking for the Salt Branch crossing on Gaither Road in District 1. Commissioner Alva Martin said he has one right-of-way left to acquire on the project.

Commissioners approved a right-of-way staking for Snake Creek bridge in District 3. The payment claim is for $3,200 to Guy Engineering.

Snake Creek bridge, located on South 447 Road near Rose, washed out in last spring’s flood on May 1.

The commissioners deposited county funds. District 1 received $4,900 from Oklahoma Department of Transportation for right-of-ways. Cherokee Nation reimbursed District 1 $55,620 for chipping and sealing the streets of Strang.

District 3 received $54,029.96 from Oklahoma Emergency Management. District 2 received $315.69 for insurance on a former employee.

Commissioners junked some old computer pieces in the county clerk’s office. County Clerk Rita Littlefield said the items include a server, scanner, three computers and three monitors.

The commissioners approved an annual agreement with the OSU Extension office at Mayes County Fairgrounds.

A utility crossing was approved for a Rural Water District 4 water line extension in District 1.
