Comanche County Excise Board approves multiple appropriations, including $300,000 for sheriff assistance
Summary
The Comanche County Excise Board on Feb. 2, 2026, approved a slate of appropriation requests covering highways, county operations and a $300,000 sheriff funding assistance allocation; the motions carried unanimously.
The Comanche County Excise Board approved a package of appropriation requests at its Feb. 2, 2026 meeting in Room 303 of the Comanche County Courthouse in Lawton.
Board members voted to approve funding line items including $214,650.66 for Highway No. 1, $214,120.66 for Highway No. 3, $78,112.45 for the CBRI fund, $117,126.62 in Use Tax allocations and a listed $300,000 entry under "Sheriff funding assistance." Other approved amounts included $17,370 for County Clerk preservation, $4,660.67 for Law Library and $5,474.75 for the Court Clerk records management and preservation fund. The motion to approve the requests was moved by Dustin Glover and seconded by Brent Easton; the board recorded Glover, Easton and J.P. Richard voting aye and no nay votes.
Board action on these appropriations follows the routine budget-implementation role of the excise board: allocating line-item amounts across department and special funds so county operations can process expenditures. The transcript lists specific dollar amounts for each fund and shows the board took the single bundled motion to approve the set of requests rather than voting separately on each line item.
The board also recorded transfers of appropriations for rural fire and sheriff accounts (see meeting record). No additional public comment or debate on the appropriation totals appears in the meeting record; the board adjourned following completion of the agenda.
