Summary
The Sperry Board of Trustees unanimously approved the town's Estimate of Needs budget for July 1, 2025–June 30, 2026, which includes funding for the police and fire departments. The vote followed brief discussion of purchase-account procedures and use of a small workers' comp escrow to reduce premiums.
The Board of Trustees of the Town of Sperry on June 12 approved the proposed Estimate of Needs budget for fiscal year 2025–26, covering municipal operations including the police and fire departments.
Mayor Robert Morton moved to adopt the budget and Trustee Patrick McCotter seconded; the motion passed unanimously. The budget covers the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2025 and ending June 30, 2026. Trustees also approved using an escrow balance of $259.00 from the Oklahoma Municipal Assurance Group workers' compensation escrow to reduce the 2025–26 premium.
Board members discussed creating a government charge account to allow certain purchases that cannot be handled with purchase orders — such as hotel reservations for board-approved training, ammunition, or emergency supplies — but no specific dollar limit was set at the meeting. The vote to adopt the budget was recorded as unanimous.
