After a 30-minute executive session, the commissioners approved a motion to participate in a settlement process as it relates to Opioid litigation that was awarded to the state of Oklahoma.

The commissioners also extended the Nowata County burn ban through Labor Day, citing the lack of rains across the state.

During the announcements portion of the meeting, Chairman Burke LaRue highlighted a hit and run on Highway 60 just west of Nowata that left a District One employee in the hospital.
