Assessor’s office outlines multi‑year OSU vendor arrangement; estimates $100,000–$120,000 annually

The Board of County Commissioners approved a claim that advances a vendor arrangement between the county assessor’s office and Oklahoma State University intended to return certain fees to the assessor’s office. An Assessor’s Office representative described the action as a second step that allowed OSU to put the county “in their vendor system so that we could receive the return of the doc free stamps that come back to the assessor's office through that statutory change.” The staff said the arrangement covers a three‑year period and that, based on sales and transactions with the county clerk’s office, “they're anticipating a 100 to a 120,000 annually.” The staff added that the fund involved also pays for state camera systems for the counties that use it, noting coverage for “all the 66 counties that use it.” Commissioners moved and seconded the claim; the motion carried. Meeting discussion did not state a total multi‑year contract amount in a single line; one commissioner asked whether the figure was “410,000 a year budget yearly?” and the staff clarified the arrangement was over three years. No statutory citation beyond a generalized reference to a “statutory change” was provided in the meeting record, and staff did not present a detailed budget breakdown at the meeting.
