Oklahoma County commissioners approve retirement resolution for long‑time treasurer’s office investment chief

The Board of County Commissioners of Oklahoma County approved a resolution June 10 recognizing Mark (last name not specified), Chief of Investments for the Oklahoma County Treasurer’s Office, who will retire June 30, 2025, after 22 years with the office.

The resolution, read aloud during the public meeting, said Mark began his county career on April 21, 2003, and “faithfully and with honor, integrity, and great distinction has served the Oklahoma County Treasurer’s Office as Chief of Investments.” Commissioner Butch Freeman introduced remarks praising Mark’s community service and legislative work in the state House of Representatives.

“Mark spent, what, 22 years with us,” Freeman said during the meeting, recalling the retiree’s long tenure and local community involvement in Harrah. Freeman added that Mark had served as a mayor of Harrah and “passed every piece of treasurer legislation without a single no vote” when he ran bills in the Oklahoma House of Representatives, according to remarks recorded in the meeting.

Speaking to commissioners and county staff, Mark said, “I’ve been very lucky. I’ve been able to do that for 22 years. And I’ve enjoyed every day.” The board approved the resolution by voice vote; no individual roll call was recorded in the public portion of the transcript.

The resolution text—adopted by the Board of County Commissioners of Oklahoma County—congratulated and thanked the retiree for his service and wished him a happy retirement. The meeting record shows county leaders and staff standing with the retiree and offering personal remarks.

Under new business immediately after the resolution, the board recessed into an executive session to receive a security update; that closed portion was not reported on in the public transcript.
