Oklahoma County and City enter mediation to resolve dispute over new jail and mental health facility funding.

Oklahoma County and Oklahoma City are entering mediation before Christmas to resolve a dispute over the construction of a new jail and a mental health facility. The county needs to allocate $40 million in federal funds by December 31 for the projects, but a rezoning request for the site was denied, leading to a lawsuit. Both sides hope mediation will help them reach a resolution and preserve the federal funds.
