Texas County joins ACCO-SIG self-insurance group, approves $427,646 payment
Summary
The Texas County Board adopted a resolution to join the Association of County Commissioners of Oklahoma Self-Insured Group (ACCO-SIG) and approved Payment Option #1 totaling $427,646 for FY26/27; the vote was unanimous.
The Texas County Board of Commissioners voted June 22 to join the Association of County Commissioners of Oklahoma Self-Insured Group (ACCO-SIG) and to pay $427,646 under Payment Option #1 for fiscal year 2026–27.
The board read and adopted Resolution #157-25-26 to execute the Interlocal Agreement establishing ACCO-SIG, citing 51 O.S. § 169 of the Governmental Tort Claims Act. The motion to adopt the resolution carried unanimously. Later in the meeting the board approved the county's Intent to Participate in ACCO-SIG (Property/Liability) for FY26/27 with Payment Option #1 and then approved paying Option #1 in the amount of $427,646.00. Aye votes were recorded from Dolan Sledge, Levi Bickford and Chairman Darrell Edwards.
Why it matters: joining ACCO-SIG moves Texas County into a self-insured risk pool used by member counties for liability and risk management services, including claims adjustment and loss prevention. The county clerk's minutes record that the resolution makes the county a party to the interlocal agreement and subjects it to ACCO-SIG governance documents.
The board took the action as part of routine fiscal-year preparations; there was no discussion recorded presenting an alternative payment option at the meeting. The clerk certified the proceedings at the close of the meeting.
