Hutchinson County commissioners on an organizational agenda approved a package of routine contracts, personnel bonds, policy renewals and travel and facility requests, clearing several housekeeping items to keep county operations running.

The court unanimously approved a set of interlocal and vendor agreements, personnel bond certifications, and routine administrative policies and travel requests, all described on the meeting agenda as renewals or standard procedures. The actions were presented without extended debate and were approved by voice vote.

The approvals included: a terminal-use/interlocal agreement to give the constable access to the City of Borger’s criminal-history terminal; bonds for Constable Precinct 2 Jessica Kaye, reserve deputy Monica Wagner and an unnamed Constable Precinct 1 officer; stopping the monthly vehicle allowance for employee Rochelle Olias while a county pickup is available; adoption of amended facility-use fees and procedures (including a requirement for event insurance when alcohol is served and a corrected wording change from “office” to “officer”); renewal and extension of the county’s depository contract with InterBank; formal adoption of the 2025 Hutchinson County investment policy; renewal of a memorandum of understanding between Hutchinson County and the Federal Aviation Administration/Department of Transportation for ongoing airport responsibilities; approval for airport staff to travel to Weatherford, Oklahoma for required quality-assurance training; approval of library club-room requests and a small budget amendment to place insurance proceeds into vehicle repair and maintenance.

Most items were presented as routine. The terminal-use agreement was described by a meeting speaker as “a formality” to allow the constable to access criminal-history functions through the city terminal; the depository contract was extended so the county would not have to go out to bid immediately; and the investment-policy update was described as an annual housekeeping requirement.

Several motions were made and seconded from the floor and were decided by general voice approval; detailed roll-call vote tallies were not recorded in the meeting transcript.

Ending: The court discussed a number of other agenda items in the meeting (including a separate, more contested change-order matter on annex painting and a later executive-session consultation with the county attorney) that were handled separately and are the subject of other minutes and items on the agenda.
