Oklahoma County commissioners approve interfund transfer to employee benefits account

Oklahoma County commissioners approved a resolution authorizing an interfund transfer from the general fund to the county’s employee benefits account during their meeting, the chair said.

County staff member John told the board the item was "just a regular transfer item to appropriate, budget funds for 40 10 or employee benefits account," and asked members for approval. A motion and second were made on the floor, the chair called for the question and members responded verbally with "Aye," and the chair stated the motion passed.

The transfer was presented as a routine budget adjustment to ensure the employee benefits account was funded; staff did not specify the dollar amount in the record. The meeting notice was noted as having been posted on July 15. No members of the public signed up to speak during the citizens' participation portion of the meeting.

In brief board comments after the vote, members reminded people working outdoors to stay hydrated amid ongoing hot weather. A motion to adjourn was made, seconded and approved, and the chair closed the meeting.

The record does not show a specific dollar figure for the transfer, the mover or seconder by name, or a roll-call vote count beyond the chair’s call for assent and a verbal "Aye."
