Tulsa County officials on Monday agreed to a plan to pay off $1.9 million owed to the jail’s medical contractor and meet the contractor’s $476,000 a month payments for May and June — a total of $2.85 million. Devised by county Chief Financial Officer Tom Gerard, the plan transfers $1.56 million from 15 other accounts and agencies to the county jail fund. It also utilizes about $700,000 in county jail tax revenue and about $500,000 in anticipated payments from other entities to house prisoners. The plan was approved by the Tulsa County Budget Board, which comprises the county’s eight elected officers. The officials want the jail’s medical services bill paid up before the current contract expires this summer, with the hope that it will strengthen the Sheriff’s Office’s position as it negotiates for a new pact.
