Oklahoma County commissioners received the monthly financial report and approved a series of budget transfers and a new fund intended to supplement transportation projects.

The county's presenter said the general fund reserve available stood at $9,821,509 and that total revenue collected in November was $11,225,641, with year-to-date cash of about $15,381,992. Revenue was listed as up about 10.6% year-over-year while expenditures were reported down by approximately $1,000,000 compared with the prior fiscal year; unallocated capital project funds were stated at about $689,646.

Following the financial review, commissioners approved the creation of an "emergency transportation resource fund" described by staff as targeted to District 3 and intended to supplement road and transportation funding in that jurisdiction. The motion to establish the fund was moved and approved by voice vote.

Commissioners also approved several interfund transfers and budget items by individual voice votes: transfers to cover commissioners' travel and vehicle allotments, an interfund transfer for remediation of GIS mapping related to NextGen 9-1-1, and a transfer from sheriff's special revenue/asset forfeiture to lease computers for clerical staff. The board additionally appointed a backup representative to the Oklahoma County Information Technology Center.

What happens next: staff will implement the approved transfers and the handbook committee and other departments will handle follow-up steps for items tied to specific projects such as NextGen 9-1-1. No roll-call vote tallies were recorded in the public transcript; approvals were recorded by voice vote.
