Oklahoma County commissioners approved personnel pay actions, including a 3.2% payroll adjustment retroactive to July 1 and a separate even $3,000 increase for a designated item.

Chair (Commissioner, name not specified) read the motion for a 3.2% payroll adjustment for items 45 through 50; commissioners confirmed the change would be retroactive to July 1, and the motion carried by voice vote. The board then approved a separate motion to increase pay by an even $3,000 for item 51. Commissioners said each affected position will be brought back for individual review at the next meeting.

Why it matters: Retroactive raises affect payroll accounting and costs in the current fiscal period; the board instructed staff to review individual positions and return with details.

What happens next: Personnel and finance staff will finalize payroll adjustments and return individual reviews to the commission next week.
