Item #6: DISCUSSION of new business. (In accordance with the Open Meetings Act, Title 25 O.S. § 311, new business is defined as any matter not known about or which could not have been reasonably foreseen within 24 hours of time of posting agenda.) Mortazavi stated we received a late bid from Congent Bank on the Pumper Truck Bid, it was received on 5/30/23 at 10:00.

Item #7: Motion was made by Stephens and seconded by Warner to approve transfer $1,200.00 from 0001-1-2000-2005 M&O Commissioners FY2022-2023 to 0001-1-1000-1320 Travel County Clerk $300.00, 0001-1-0600-1320 Travel Treasurer $300.00, 0001-1-1400-1320 Travel Court Clerk $300.00 and 0001-1600-1320 Travel Assessor $300.00 FY2023, for new travel allowance approved by legislation on 5/25/23, to be paid on June Payroll. Stephens stated that legal has advised that if the Board makes the decision per a resolution, then this could not go into effect until each is re-elected, because this would cause a pay increase during a term. Since, legislation approved the increase on 5/25/23, we can accept the travel increase from the legislation changes per bill approved by emergency and receive it in June or July. Stephens stated the increase would result in travel to be paid in the amount of $1000.00, for Commissioners, $900.00, for Assessor and $800.00, for Clerks and Treasurer.  There was discussion of what accounts this would affect, if accepted for June. Mortazavi stated it would affect the County Clerk, Court Clerk, Assessor, and Treasurer budgeted accounts, in the amount of $1,200.00. The Sheriff does not receive travel, as he drives a county vehicle. The amount it would increase is $300.00 for each elected official. The Commissioners would not affect the Budget, as they are paid from cash accounts. We do have two transfers prepared today one from the General and one from Use Tax, I am not sure which one you would prefer, if the Board is to choose that route. There was discussion of each office stated implementing this into their next fiscal year budget. Vote as follows: Stephens - Aye, Warner - Aye, Whitehouse - Aye.
