City Council Swears in Deputy Treasurer, Reviews Liquor License and Hazard Plan

City Council Swears in Deputy Treasurer, Reviews Liquor License and Hazard Plan
L to R: Mayor Ken Tedford with City Councilwoman Karla Kent, new Deputy Clerk Treasurer Michael Anderson, Councilwoman Kelly Frost, and Councilman Paul Harmon.

At a special meeting held July 3, 2025, the Fallon City Council formally swore in Michael Anderson as the new Deputy City Clerk Treasurer. Anderson, a graduate of Oklahoma State University, brings a strong background in public administration and municipal finance. The Council unanimously confirmed his appointment and approved an annual salary of $120,000. He is expected to support the city’s financial management and administrative operations in a key leadership role.

Just two days earlier, on July 1, the Council held its regularly scheduled meeting to address several items affecting local businesses and emergency planning.

Among the approvals was a retail liquor license application submitted by David Ross for Stockman’s Casino. The license allows the business to sell full bottles of liquor and utilize the store for casino promotions and rewards. City staff reviewed the application as part of the standard licensing process prior to approving. 

Council also approved a boundary line adjustment between parcels owned by Jaycee Lewis and Marquess and Domby Lewis. The motion was made by Councilman James Harmon, seconded by Councilwoman Kelly Frost, and passed unanimously.

The Council additionally adopted a Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan, which aims to improve coordination between the city and other local jurisdictions in the event of natural disasters, severe weather, or other emergencies impacting the Fallon area. The motion to adopt the plan was also made by Harmon and seconded by Frost, receiving full approval from the board.

The next regularly scheduled City Council meeting is expected later this month.

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
