Board approves claims and payroll totals; records oil-and-gas severance transfers to county funds
Summary
The board audited claims and ordered warrants for payroll, recording total payroll (with workers comp & unemployment) of $788,258.36 and total claims and payroll for April 2024 of $1,211,588.32; minutes list detailed employee warrants and multiple severance tax transfers allocated across county funds.
Roosevelt County commissioners completed auditing claims and ordered warrants for payroll and claims during January sessions. The minutes list employee warrant payments, deduction totals and fund-level allocations. The record shows a total payroll (including workers' compensation and unemployment) of $788,258.36 and a separate line stating "TOTAL CLAIMS AND PAYROLL FOR APRIL 2024: $1,211,588.32."
The minutes provide a detailed line-by-line list of employee warrants and deductions and itemize fund allocations across the general fund and numerous special funds (road, bridge, library, public safety, school retirement, and more). Treasurer Betty Romo reported investment interest and deposit activity, and the minutes itemize third-quarter oil-and-gas severance tax transfers (e.g., $170,109.09 to the general fund and other distributions to road, bridge, school retirement and other funds).
The board's approval of claims and payroll was recorded after the auditing process; specific questions or exclusions were noted in one instance (an exclusion of check number 128568 for $1,399.00 from claims approved on 1-17-25). The minutes do not provide supporting invoices in the text; they record totals and warrant authorizations for bookkeeping and audit purposes.
