Rainy day fund
Official statutory text
A. As used in this act, a "rainy day fund" shall be a cash
account to pay for unforeseen future emergencies or loss in revenue
for the county budget. The rainy day fund shall be funded with
surplus funds or monies receipted over and above the itemized
estimate of needs for the general fund. Such transfers from the
surplus funds shall occur at the time of the budget approval. The
balance of the rainy day fund shall not be part of the general
budget within the estimate of needs but shall be recorded on the
estimate of needs as a special fund. When the county has excess
funds, the county may by resolution deposit the funds in the rainy
day fund. However, after funds are so transferred, they are not
transferable back to the original source. The rainy day fund may
contain up to, but not more than, fifty percent (50%) of the
previous year's approved budget.
B. 1. Up to one-half (1/2) of the balance of the rainy day
fund may be used for natural disasters that are declared such by the
Governor, board of county commissioners or by the federal
government. Such expenditures must be spent in accordance with
Section 1500 et seq. of Title 19 of the Oklahoma Statutes.

2. Up to one-eighth (1/8) of the balance of the rainy day fund
may be used to supplement the county's current general budget if it
is less than the previous year's budget.
3. Up to one-eighth (1/8) of the balance of the rainy day fund
may be used to supplement the current year's revenue when
collections come in shorter than estimated and a revenue failure is
declared by the board of county commissioners.
