Zac Moore

What he can decide

Commissioners combine district road responsibilities with collective decisions about county business. Oklahoma State University’s guidance identifies roads and bridges, contracts, claims, purchases and financial oversight among the board’s duties. Agreements require majority action; Moore cannot commit the county simply by holding office. The county excise board separately approves funding for county offices. In January 2026, commissioners selected Stephens as chair and Whitehouse as vice-chair, with Moore serving as a board member. His vote and ability to propose action matter independently of those leadership titles. The distinction is visible in meeting minutes that name who moved, seconded and voted on each decision.

Financial controls and the public record

Countywide financial oversight is another part of the job. The State Auditor and Inspector’s report for the year ended June 30, 2025 identified weaknesses in Creek County’s federal recovery-fund procurement standards, expenditure reporting and supporting documentation. The report’s corrective-action plan assigned responsibilities to named county officials, including Stephens and County Clerk Jennifer Mortazavi. Those county findings should not be converted into an unsupported allegation that Moore personally diverted funds. They do provide a basis for following the board’s response and asking whether promised remedies were implemented. Target dates in a corrective-action plan alone do not establish completion.

County roads and regional responsibilities

Zac Moore is Creek County’s District 2 commissioner, a member of its three-person Board of County Commissioners and a Creek County representative on INCOG’s board. His district office provides a public route for submitting road concerns. County minutes record him serving alongside Newt Stephens and Jarrod Whitehouse in October 2026. His work also reaches beyond county meetings through Circuit Engineering District 1 and Green Country Workforce Development Board’s local elected officials consortium. These are separate public responsibilities, each with its own institutional setting.

A narrow election and a new public role

Moore defeated incumbent Leon Warner in the June 18, 2024 district contest. Sapulpa Times reported 695 votes for Moore and 681 for Warner, a margin of 14 votes. Moore described his effort as a grassroots campaign and said he wanted to represent district residents. Warner congratulated him and attributed part of the result to controversy over 911 answering-point boundaries. That explanation was Warner’s assessment, not a demonstrated account of why voters chose Moore. By January 6, 2025, official minutes show Moore participating in county business and abstaining from approval of the preceding December meeting’s minutes.

Engineering and workforce institutions

The county unanimously designated Moore its Circuit Engineering District 1 representative on January 5, 2026. The district’s own roster also lists him. Its cooperative model lets counties share engineering advice, inspections and transportation planning capacity. The statewide engineering-district association reports that Guy Engineering supplies management and coordination support for District 1, including work on five-year road and bridge construction plans. This establishes an institutional connection to the firm, without implying that Moore owns it or directs its private business. Separately, his INCOG board seat places him within the regional association alongside representatives of other local and tribal governments.

The county voice in workforce governance

On January 27, 2025, commissioners approved the Local Elected Official Consortium Agreement between Creek County and Green Country Workforce Development Board, replacing Warner with Moore. The organization’s current website confirms Moore under its local elected officials list, alongside Tulsa County’s Stan Sallee and representatives of other counties. It presents that list separately from its workforce board membership. Moore’s documented connection is therefore the county’s elected-official role, rather than a staff position or an inferred seat on the separately listed board. This relationship links county government to regional workforce services and their governance.

Equipment replacement and utility access

In June 2025, Moore explained to the county board that two older graders had high operating hours and costly maintenance needs. Commissioners unanimously approved a proposed trade-in and lease-purchase arrangement with Yellowhouse Machinery Company and authorized him to sign. In January 2026, Moore moved to approve the updated agreement after the new equipment’s model designation changed. These records establish approval and his stated reasoning; they do not establish realized savings. At the same January meeting, he proposed extending two Cimarron Telephone Company fiber-installation permits from 30 to 90 days. Both passed unanimously, illustrating his role in coordinating work affecting district roads.
