County spent more than $37,000 on legal notices

The Board of Grant County Commissioners has chosen an address of www.grantcountyok.com for a Web site that will provide countless benefits to Grant County residents.

All information on the Web site will be provided at no charge to the public. The site will encompass information from all county offices and also give the public instant access to meeting minutes, agendas and bid notices.

The site will cost the county $15 a year to be registered and $10 a month to stay active. KanOkla will host the Web site. Korina Schneider will build and maintain the Web site for $20 an hour.

The intent of the Web site is to provide the public – free of charge – with instant access to county information. The site potentially could save the county thousands of dollars in man hours, copying costs and legal publication fees in years to come.

Commissioner Cindy Bobbitt hopes the Web site will provide an even greater cost savings to the county than anticipated. She has asked the Association of County Commissioners of Oklahoma to put forward legislation to change the language regarding the publication of legal notices for counties.
