Excise Special Meetings 09/22/2026

The Oklahoma County Excise Board held a special meeting on September 22, 2026, primarily to discuss and approve temporary cash transfers totaling $18 million to the general fund. These transfers, originating from various funds including the treasurer's unappropriated fund, protest fund, highway cash fund, and a capital projects fund for the new jail, are intended to cover payroll and weekly expenses until property tax revenues are collected later in the fiscal year. The board clarified that these are temporary internal transfers allowed by statute, to be repaid within the fiscal year, and do not involve borrowing from bond funds. The motion to approve the transfers was passed unanimously. No other procurement or contracting actions were discussed during the meeting.
