LINCOLN COUNTY DEMOCRATS
MINUTES
SEPTEMBER 6, 2007
The meeting was called to order by Vice-Chair Debi Thompson, at Garwooly’s Restaurant. Sign-in sheet was passed and 30 people were present. Debi thanked everyone for their hard work and contributions to the Lincoln County Fairbooth. She introduced visitors. The meeting was turned over to Women’s Club President, Debbie Greenfield. Debbie also talked about the Fairbooth and then had Cindy Kirby give their Treasurer’s report. They had $568.81 in their account. The meeting was turned back over to Debi Thompson and Central Committee business was continued.
Debi gave a brief overview of the Fairbooth activities; everyone thought that the straw poll was a success; the ice cream freezer was won by a gentleman from Prague.
Debi introduced County Commissioner Ricky Taylor. He gave some background on what the commissioners were working on in their districts. He also talked about the importance of the sales tax renewal: if it is not passed there would be many things that would not be accomplished that are of vital importance to the maintenance and upkeep of our county roads and bridges which are much in need of repair. The tax provides extra money that is necessary to maintain a safer community for all. Commissioner Taylor also said that it will be important for everyone to promote the passage of this tax, that somehow we can help get out the vote. He said that without this extra money it would be very hard for them to keep the work structure they have been maintaining and he thanked everyone for their support.
Debi then introduced Court Clerk Cindy Kirby, she gave a report of all the things going on in her office. She gave us a handout of all the court filings as of September 4, 2007. She told us that her office has a website reference: ODCR.NET and Oklahoma State Courts Network . If you go to these sites you can follow all activities that occur in the Court Clerk’s office. She then answered questions from the floor.

program that we could take part in called "1 in a Million," where if
