The Nowata County Commissioners will hold a regular meeting Monday morning at the Nowata County Annex.
The commissioners will possibly vote on instituting a county-wide burn ban, due to the extreme heat and dry conditions. The Nowata Fire Department has already declared a burn ban for the City of Nowata.
In other business, the board will review an estimate of needs for the general fund budget in the 2026-2027 fiscal year, discuss a franchise agreement with Cox Com LLC, open rock bids and accept a donation.
The commissioners will also revisit the county certification map and county action report and hear an update from Emergency Manager Laurie Summers.
Monday's meeting begins at 9 a.m. at the Nowata County Annex Meeting Room, located at 228 N. Maple St. in downtown Nowata.
