Oklahoma County special excise board corrects transfer amount, adds holiday day and certifies mill levies
Summary
At a Dec. 30, 2025 special meeting, Oklahoma CountySpecial Excise Board approved minutes, amended the countyholiday schedule to include Dec. 24, corrected an interfund transfer amount to $333,863 for employee benefits, and certified revised tax mill levies for fiscal year 2025
Eleanor Thompson presided over a Dec. 30, 2025 special meeting of the Special Excise Board of Oklahoma County and led the board in approving four routine items: the prior meeting minutes, a second amendment to the countyobserved-holiday schedule, a correction to a previously approved resolution concerning an interfund transfer for employee benefits, and the certification of revised tax levies for municipalities and school districts for fiscal year 2025–26.
The board approved the minutes of the Nov. 17, 2025 meeting after an unidentified board member moved their adoption and Thompson seconded. The motion was adopted by voice vote.
On the holiday schedule the board approved a second amendment to the 2025 observed-holiday calendar to add Wednesday, Dec. 24, 2025; the amendment (described in the meeting as adding Wednesday, Thursday and Friday) was moved, seconded and adopted. "We're doing this to now include Wednesday, 12/24/2025," Thompson said during the discussion.
The board next addressed a correction to a previously approved resolution (the transcript references the earlier approval as 2025-4416 and a corrective reference as 2025-4514). Members noted an incorrect dollar amount had been printed; after examining the document they agreed an extra set of zeros was an error and set the interfund transfer from General Fund 1001 (cash) to Employee Benefits Fund 4010 at $333,863. Thompson summarized the purpose: "This is to transfer general fund cash appropriated to employee benefits in order to pay claims for the county for the fiscal year 2025–26, as was approved by the budget board and the excise board in the Oklahoma County annual adopted budget, which we did in June 2025." The corrective motion was moved, seconded and adopted; the correction was requested by John Wilburson, Benefits and Retirement (document requester), according to the meeting record.
Finally, the board certified all revised tax levies (mill levies) for Oklahoma County municipalities and school districts for FY 2025–26 and noted that a certified list of mill levies is on file with the finance department. The board also agreed to remove pages 5 and 6 from the final record because they were included in error.
Before adjourning, Thompson noted the tax roll will occur on Monday the 15th and said there may or may not be a need for another meeting depending on outstanding tax matters. The board moved to adjourn and the meeting ended by voice vote.
