Excise Special Meetings 10/06/2026

The Oklahoma County Excise Board held a special meeting on October 6, 2026, and approved minutes before considering fiscal year 2026–27 estimates of needs and prior-year financial statements for numerous school districts and charter schools, municipalities, the Oklahoma County Metropolitan Library, Rose State College’s technical education district, and the city-county health department. Members approved the presented appropriations and certified levies through voice votes. Examples included Oklahoma City’s sinking fund appropriation of approximately $172.7 million with a 15.18-mill levy and Bethany’s sinking fund appropriation of approximately $1.88 million with a 12.99-mill levy. The transcript contains several garbled amounts, so other figures are not stated here.

The board also amended item 23 to identify WK Jackson Leadership Academy as District G-10 before approving it. Members discussed how some districts account for child nutrition funds, noted concern about John W. Rex Charter Elementary School’s limited carryover, and asked about remaining estimates and possible October cash transfers for payroll and benefits; no transfer action was taken. The meeting addressed budget approvals rather than contracts, vendor selections, or purchasing, and no procurement activity was identified.
