Item #8: Motion was made by Warner and seconded by Whitehouse to sign the Amended Creek County Treasurer's Investment Policy for 2023-2024. Rick Engleman, Treasurer spoke about the current process for investing in CD's. We would like to streamline this and reduce the workload, by taking the invested monies and only allocating it to the General Fund. For the past twenty plus years there has been seven accounts that have received the interest from those investments. There has been no rhyme or reason that we have found, as to why these accounts were chosen. The statute states that the interest should go into the General Fund, we would like to amend the current investment policy to reflect the guidance from the statue. Stephens reviewed the interest that the seven accounts will be losing it ranges from $9,7000 to $13,000.00 annually. Engleman stated that any department can request that the Treasurer take a certain amount of their funds and invest them. We are open to this process; the Elected Official would need to reach out to our office. Bret Bowling, Sheriff spoke with Engleman on the possible impact the Jail might have from this change.
