Kingfisher County commissioners approved going out for bids for oil and chip work on county roads for District 1 at their weekly meeting Monday.

Bids will be received until 4 p.m. July 19 in the office of the county clerk and will be opened at the regular commission meeting on July 22.

Commissioners also approved the county resale property fund financial report of County Treasurer Robin Rother.

The treasurer is required to file a financial statement of the fund by June 30 of each year with the county clerk for approval of the board of county commissioners, citing the necessary reserves made or anticipated to cover the following: 1. The cost of preparing and making delinquent tax publications; 2. The purchase of necessary records, printing and supplies and the payment of clerical hire; 3. To pay claims and encumbrances for the upkeep, repair and maintenance of unsold properties; 4. To pay all rebates allowed by the board of county commissioners or the board of tax roll corrections upon taxes found to have been illegally or erroneously collected; and, 5. To pay for tax sale certificates or issue of deeds on lands or lots on which no tax was due or as to which the sale thereof was illegal for any reason.

Commissioners also approved the six-month bids opened a week earlier as tabulated – lowest to highest – for county road construction services for the next six months.
