Commissioner's Court 10/20/2026

Wichita County Commissioners Court met on October 20, 2026. The court approved, 5–0, a $48,451.30 proposal from Jesse’s Custom Codings to repaint the first, second, and third floors of the courthouse annex, including common areas and door frames. The work will be paid from previously budgeted permanent improvement funds; although the original budget covered only the second floor, county officials said available funds could cover the expanded project. The court also approved the regular bills for payment, with no total amount stated. Officials provided a progress update on construction in Burke, but no related contract or purchasing action was taken.

The treasurer presented the third-quarter investment report, including $525,000 in interest earned during the quarter, and discussed reviewing the county’s investment policy and potentially evaluating a financial monitoring service; neither discussion resulted in a procurement decision. A public commenter asked the county to address upkeep at East Line Cemetery. The court also amended and approved consent items, including naming private roads for emergency response and addressing purposes without adding them to the county’s maintenance system.
