The Creek County Commissioners continue to meet each Monday morning, following CDC guidelines.
One item the board has recently faced is the passing of Lane Whitehouse, Creek County Commissioner District 3. At the present time, Roger Smith, is serving as acting commissioner for District 3, until a special election is held for the voters to elect another commissioner. The special election will be held on April 6, 2021. According to the Creek County Election Board, the filing period for this position is Feb, 8, 9 and 10. All candidates seeking to run for this position must file on these dates.
The commissioners set up a Memorial Fund in honor of Whitehouse, in which Clerk Jennifer Mortazavi is overseeing.
Another item discussed by the board is the roll out of the COVID-19 vaccinations. There are some issues with the roll out when people come from 100 mile radius to get the vaccine and local residents are unable to book an appointment, some changes need to be made by the state in order to get the vaccine to local people.
