Woods County reviews FY25–26 estimate of needs, annual financial statement and discusses retiree insurance options
Summary
County officials reviewed an estimate of needs for fiscal year 2025–26, received the county’s FY2025 annual financial statement and discussed a resolution on retiree health insurance plan choices; no final votes were recorded in the transcript excerpts.
County officials reviewed several fiscal items during the meeting, including an estimate of needs for fiscal year 2025–26, the county’s annual financial statement for fiscal year 2025 and a discussion of a resolution that would let retirees choose among insurance options.
On the agenda under item 7, a figure of $9,839,150 was presented as the county’s estimate of needs for fiscal year 2025–26. The transcript records the number but does not include a formal motion or vote in the excerpt provided.
Under a later item the county received the annual financial statement for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025. A county presenter described current procedures: they said they pull the prior year’s financial statement from the state auditor’s office to compare balances, and that monthly reconciliations are performed between the county clerk’s office and the treasurer’s office. The presenter said they are drafting a written policy to document those procedures.
The presenter also noted small differences arising from trust-and‑agency accounts, citing a $1,103.68 discrepancy tied to custodial accounts; the presenter said that discrepancy was from a stray animals account and described the statutory procedure for forfeiture: “Any balance left on deposit after 1 year shall be forfeited to the county general fund,” citing Oklahoma statute section 85.6.
An agenda item listed as number 12 was described in the transcript as discussion and possible action regarding a resolution to allow retirees to select insurance levels, naming several plans during the readout. The excerpt does not record a board vote or a final action on that resolution.
No formal motions, vote tallies or outcomes for those agenda items appear in the provided transcript excerpts. The materials presented were informational: staff described accounting and reconciliation practices, noted a small trust account discrepancy, and flagged a planned internal policy to document monthly balancing procedures.
Because the transcript excerpt contains an unclear verbalization of the county’s stated ending balance for 06/30/2025 (the speaker’s phrasing in the record is garbled), the article does not assert a specific ending-balance dollar amount; the presenter’s remarks about procedures and the trust-account discrepancy are reported as stated.
