Commissioner Carrie Blumert Votes Yes To Approve County Budget Including County Employee Pay Raise

Oklahoma County – Today, the Oklahoma County Budget Board voted to approve their final budget for the 2023-2024 Fiscal Year.  The $130,306,175 General Fund Budget was approved by a vote of 5-3.  Commissioner Carrie Blumert’s Chief Deputy made the motion on her behalf with Oklahoma County Sheriff Tommie Johnson seconding the motion.

Included in the budget is a 2.5% merit-based pay increase for each county elected official’s office and all employees of the Oklahoma County Jail. It is incumbent upon each elected official and the Jail Administrator to recognize the hard-working county employees and jail staff with this pay increase. 

Blumert says “Taking care of our employees and paying them appropriately is a vital part of making Oklahoma County Government successful, including the employees at the Oklahoma County Jail. I am proud of this budget and am hopeful we can continue to recognize our employees’ dedication to public service. We must further examine ways to increase pay for employees at our county jail to help recruit and retain quality staff to ensure we are addressing the crucial issues at the jail.”

The final vote was 5-3. Voting in favor were Commissioner Carrie Blumert, Commissioner Myles Davidson, Sheriff Tommie Johnson, Treasurer Butch Freeman, and Assessor Larry Stein. Those opposed were Commissioner Brian Maughan, Court Clerk Rick Warren, and County Clerk Maressa Treat.
