Oklahoma County commissioners approve revised MOU with district attorney to correct GPS monitoring billing
Summary
Oklahoma County commissioners voted unanimously to approve a revised memorandum of understanding with the District Attorney’s office that reduces benefit payments for a shared GPS-monitoring employee and returns roughly $8,000 to the county to cover monitoring costs through the fiscal year.
Oklahoma County commissioners on Feb. 18 approved a revised memorandum of understanding with the District Attorney’s office to correct prior benefit payments tied to a shared GPS-monitoring employee.
The change reflects that the employee had not been taking benefits; the DA’s office will return a little more than $8,000 the county received for benefits and the county will apply that money to cover GPS monitoring costs through the end of the current fiscal year. A county staff member explained that previous invoices were authorised for payment and that the revised agreement “will start immediately upon approval.”
County officials said the original agreement had included benefit costs the employee did not use. The staff member said the county will continue to pay outstanding invoices and that commissioners will have further discussions about the agreement during the coming year.
The board voted unanimously to approve the revised MOU. No specific mover or seconder was recorded in the meeting audio; roll call showed three commissioners present and the chair called the motion approved by voice vote.
The action changes how the county and the District Attorney’s office allocate costs for GPS monitoring services; commissioners described the item during the meeting’s policy and governance segment and approved immediate implementation.
No accompanying ordinance or statutory citation was referenced during the discussion.
Minutes show the county accepted the returned funds and applied them to monitoring costs through the fiscal year; commissioners indicated additional review of the agreement will occur in the next budget cycle.
