Kingfisher County commissioners accepted a gift of $39,688.38 from Pinnacle Development Monday to build an asphalt road leading to Pinnacle’s new housing addition west of Cashion.

The District 1 project was accepted on motion of Commissioner Jeff Moss.

The funds will be applied to a half-mile section of Count Road N2980, leading to the entrance to the housing development.

Commissioners also reappointed Dr. Drew Hendrix, Kingfisher dentist, to the county board of health for a new term, expiring June 30, 2027.

Hendrix’s current term began May 18, 2019, and expires June 30, 2023.

Other actions taken included approving payment of a $3,154 invoice to Circuit Engineering District 8 for county bridge inspections, a 20% grant match application to help finance new equipment for the 911 emergency calling service as prepared by 911 director Ryan Deatherage and a public access drive permit for K&J Construction located three miles west and three miles north of Loyal in District 3.

A request from Canvas Energy for a public access drive located .3 mile east of CR 2850 on CR 750 in District 1 was tabled until certain utility locations can be determined.
