Rebecca Muratet is the voice that answers the phone when the public calls the office of the Rogers County Commissioners. She’s also the first face the public sees when coming into that office. Her official title is Executive Administrative Assistant, but Muratet said she doesn’t care about fancy titles. “I’m the secretary,” she said. She’s been the county commissioners’ secretary since Dec. 23, 2002, replacing Melissa Anderson, the current County Assessor. Muratet said she had four brothers so working with three male commissioners is “not so different.” “I reflect what they (the public) can expect from the county commissioners,” said Muratet. “Mostly, it’s about service.” Muratet said part of her job includes educating the public when they call or come by. “Many people are unsure that there’s more than one county commissioner,” she said. Dealing with the public involves issues ranging from how to open a section line road to what can be done about the neighbor’s trash, which district a person lives in, or problems with dogs – anything “county related,” said Muratet. “In my position you’ve got to be knowledgeable about many things because it’s so varied,” said Muratet. Every Monday morning the Sheriff’s Department calls with a list of road signs that must be replaced and Muratet passes that information on to Lee Francis of Sign Maintenance. Other problems and issues must be dealt with as well, many by the three various commissioners. Muratet said she passes on information to the proper person, but keeps notes on her desk so she can follow up and make sure the public is being served. Following in the footsteps of Anderson, who had held the position with the commissioners for years before going on to serve as Assessor, Muratet said this is not her first job as an administrative assistant. Before coming to work for Rogers County, she was the administrative assistant to the superintendent of Chelsea Public Schools. “It’s the heart of Rogers County,” said Muratet of Chelsea where she lived from 1992 until 2007. Currently, Muratet lives in the Sequoyah area. She has been raising her grandson, Riley, for the past three years. He attends first grade in Sequoyah.
