The rain that began in Kingfisher County on Monday morning was welcome on multiple fronts.

Outside of it being desperately needed by farmers, it also negated a potential two-week burn ban.

County commissioners voted Monday morning to disapprove a resolution for the ban.

“I don’t see the need since it’s raining,” said District 2 Commissioner Ray Alan Shimanek.

Jeff Moss and Heath Dobrovolny echoed that sentiment with their vote.

A burn ban was put into place by commissioners at their Oct. 3 meeting.

That resolution expired Oct. 17.

The most recent resolution was a part of the commissioners’ weekly agenda.

In other action items, the commissioners:

• Approved declaring as surplus a Crosley refrigerator that was used by the health department;

• Two road rights of way for K&J Construction LLC in District 1. One is a 12inch lay flat line four miles north and one east of Kingfi sher. The other is a fourinch poly line three north and five east of Kingfisher;

• One right of way for Select Energy Services and another for Devon Energy Production. Both are 12inch temporary water lines two miles south and one east of Omega in District 3;

• A pair of access drives for Canvas Energy LLC in District 2. One was five miles south of Hennessey and the other two north and three west of Dover.

Commissioners also received a proposal from Big 4 Fire Department Chief Joey Maschino for a new roof and siding at the department.

The repairs are needed due to damages sustained last spring.

Commissioners said the project proposal will need to be prepared to be sent out for bid.

County Engineer Nik Smith said he would likely have the notice for bids prepared by next week’s meeting.
