# BET Special Meeting 09/09/2026 - Reconvene

The Oklahoma County Board of Equalization and Taxation (BET) held a special meeting on September 9, 2026, primarily addressing financial discrepancies related to the county's jail reserve fund. A citizen expressed concerns about an $11 million shortfall and questioned the accuracy and accountability of the county clerk's office in managing funds, especially in light of a proposed $700 million ballot initiative for jail funding. The meeting included detailed discussions on reconciling fund balances, errors in financial reporting, and the steps being taken to improve internal controls, including hiring additional internal auditors and working with the state auditor's office. The board reviewed updated financial documents, approved making them part of the official record, and discussed the need for further documentation and clarification to ensure transparency and prevent future errors. A motion was passed to allow the clerk's office to prepare additional documents for review.
