Commissioners approve $425,000 transfer for court clerk moving, furniture and blinds

Summary
The board voted to recommend a transfer of up to $425,000 from one‑time reserve funds to the court clerk’s capital budget to pay for fifth‑floor furniture, blinds and moving expenses related to a planned office move.
Oklahoma County commissioners voted Oct. 7 to recommend transferring up to $425,000 from one‑time reserve funds to the court clerk’s capital budget to cover furniture, blinds and moving expenses for a planned move to the fifth floor.
The transfer was presented as a capital purchase after staff reviewed quotes and said the furniture line items would be reduced where possible; staff pledged to return any unspent funds. The board discussed options to fund the purchase from capital accounts instead of one‑time reserves and agreed to proceed using one‑time funds this cycle to keep the project on the contractor’s timeline.
Why it matters: The action funds a scheduled office relocation and associated outfitting tied to an ongoing county construction schedule. Staff said furniture delivery takes six to eight weeks and the goal is to complete the move around the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend if construction finishes as currently forecast.
The board instructed staff to return a detailed invoice and final costs once quotes and orders are firm. The motion to recommend the transfer passed on a recorded voice vote.
Ending: County staff said the transfer will be matched to actual invoices; any unused portion will be returned to the funding source.
