Comanche County District #3 Commissioner’s Office This page is to keep citizens informed on what Comanche County District #3 is doing. One Commissioner is elected to administer each district.

We will use this page as another form of communication to alert the public of any news and projects that might effect their daily lives. We are always striving to improve our transparency and efficiency, so please contact us with any other suggestions that can help us make your understanding of what we do better. Below is a description of what the Commissioner role is from the County Web Page:

Cr

eated by the Oklahoma State Constitution, the Board of County Commissioners is composed of 3 Commissioners who are elected by the people. Comanche County is divided into 3 districts, as equal in population as possible, and numbered 1, 2, and 3. Boundaries for the districts are set once every 10 years following the Federal census.
​
Responsibilities
The Board of County Commissioners is the administrative and management entity for Comanche County. Each Commissioner administers a district, and as a Board, they are all responsible for the county as a whole. Legislation
The Board is responsible for enforcing legislation passed by the State of Oklahoma Legislature. The Board does not make its own legislation, though they can make resolutions. Administration
The Board meets publicly when transacting county business. By law, the commissioners must act as a board to: enter into contracts, make purchases, or make agreements that will affect the county. Finances
The Board is the chief fiscal entity of the county. It is in charge of receiving and expending funds, and is therefore held responsible for the following: making major financial decisions, transacting those decisions, preparing budgets, awarding contracts, and acting on claims. The Board must consider the estimated needs of each county office annually. The estimates must be published and forwarded to the Excise Board. Management
The Board is also responsible for investigating the performance of all county offices. This includes the proper handling of county funds. The Board can audit the accounts of all county officers who receive, manage, or distribute county funds. The Board can lawfully take action against an officer found delinquent in his/her duties. Development
The Board advertises for bids and approves contracts for major purchases or construction projects within the county. State law allows the Board to incur indebtedness in the name of the county when necessary. Commissioners are empowered to call county bond issue elections when necessary for county projects. Meetings
The Board meets every Monday at 9:00 a.m. in Room 302 of the Comanche County Courthouse, except on holidays or on special occasions. All sessions are open to the public and held in observance of the Oklahoma Open Meeting Act.
​
Many other duties and functions are performed by county commissioners due to specific needs, which vary from county to county. Permissive legislation provides the basis for these additional duties and functions.

🔥 COMANCHE COUNTY BURN BAN EXTENDED 🔥

The Comanche County Board of County Commissioners has extended the countywide Burn Ban for an additional seven days, effective August 31, 2026.

Extreme fire danger continues across Comanche County, and dry vegetation remains highly susceptible to ignition and rapid fire spread.

🚫 During the Burn Ban:
• Outdoor campfires and bonfires are prohibited.
• Private fireworks are prohibited.
• Outdoor burning is prohibited except for activities specifically exempted under the resolution.
• Certain activities, including welding, cutting, grinding, road construction, prescribed burning, and land-clearing operations, are subject to specific requirements and precautions.

🔥 Charcoal, propane, and natural gas grills may be used on a non-flammable surface at least five feet from flammable vegetation.

The Burn Ban may be extended again if extreme fire danger conditions persist.

⚠️ Even when an activity is permitted, use extreme caution around dry grass and vegetation. One spark can quickly become a wildfire.

COMANCHE COUNTY: TAKE ACTION NOW TO REDUCE YOUR WILDFIRE RISK

Comanche County is experiencing EXTREME DROUGHT CONDITIONS, and our grass, brush, and trees are extremely dry and readily ignitable. Across our area, higher-than-normal wildfire activity is expected to continue, and fires that start under these conditions can become difficult to control very quickly.

WHO:
Every homeowner, property owner, and resident in Comanche County.

WHAT:
Take action NOW to reduce the amount of combustible vegetation and material around your home. Create and maintain a Firewise defensible space before a wildfire threatens your property.

WHEN:
Today. Do not wait until a wildfire is already burning nearby.

WHERE:
Start immediately around your home and work outward:
• Remove dead leaves, grass, pine needles, and vegetation next to structures
• Clean leaves and debris from roofs and gutters
• Remove dead limbs, brush, and vegetation from beneath trees
• Trim vegetation away from siding, decks, fences, propane tanks, and other structures
• Move firewood, lumber, patio cushions, and other combustible materials away from your home
• Clear vegetation and debris from beneath decks, porches, sheds, and outbuildings
• Maintain as much defensible space as your property allows

HOW:
Look at your property as if a wildfire were approaching it. Ask yourself: What can burn, and what could carry that fire to my home?

Then remove it, move it, trim it, or create separation from your structures.

- Do not create another ignition while doing cleanup. Avoid activities that can produce sparks in dry vegetation, and use extreme caution with vehicles, trailers, power equipment, welding, grinding, and other potential ignition sources.

Under our current conditions, brush fuels can support problematic fire behavior, and extreme fire behavior is possible when dry fuels, wind, and terrain align.

Wildfire preparedness is not something to begin when you see smoke on the horizon. The time to prepare your property is NOW.

- Clean it up. Clear it out. Create defensible space. Give firefighters something they can defend.

Today our crews are applying AEP Prime Oil to the Elk Creek Loop Housing Addition, located on the south side of Bishop Road between Deyo Mission and Paint Road.

Ever wondered why we have to use oil in the road building process? 🤔 Well, we actually use two types of oils:

• AEP Prime Oil – This is applied first to prime and seal the road base before the chip seal process begins.

• CRS-2 Road Oil – This oil is used as part of the chip seal process, helping bond the rock/chips to the roadway surface.

The fresh AEP oil has to sit for approximately four hours before the chip seal layer can be added to the base.

This is why we ask you to drive cautiously through road building sites. If you must travel on the fresh oil, please drive very slowly to help prevent tracking the oil and to allow it to properly pe*****te and seal the road base.

We know it’s a headache, however it’s a vital necessity for building a strong road that will last.
