BOCC: Election Board gets rent increase, may get new location next year

A new lease agreement between the Creek County Home Finance Authority and the Board of Creek County Commissioners for the property located at 230 East Hobson was signed at the Tuesday, July 6th BOCC meeting.

The property is the site of the Creek County Election Board. CCHFA Chairman Greg Pugmire explained to the Board that the County has paid $1,500 a month to lease the property for the last 18 years. The HFA recently met and discussed a proposed rent increase to make the monthly rent payments more consistent with market value. “We think it would relieve some income issues for the Authority,” said Pugmire.
