Criminal Justice Authority Regular Meeting 09/14/2026

The Oklahoma County Criminal Justice Authority held a regular meeting on September 14, 2026, where several procurement and budget-related topics were discussed. Key procurement actions included approval of a $150,000 technology upgrade for IT infrastructure, including laptops and equipment, and the approval of engagement agreements with Ernst & Young for CPA services totaling approximately $132,660, which exceeded the budget by about $40,000. The board discussed plans to identify budget adjustments to cover this overage. Additionally, the Authority approved municipal jail services agreements with Edmond and Forest Park jail services. Financial reports highlighted a positive outcome due to an advanced payment from the county, and there was a motion passed to write off an uncollectible accounts receivable of approximately $928,000 from the Department of Mental Health. Other discussions included staffing updates, inmate population management, and ongoing maintenance projects such as kitchen flooring and elevator improvements. The meeting also touched on mental health services and collaboration with OU medical interns at no cost to the facility. No votes were taken on bylaws amendments, which were deferred for further review.
