Wichita County Commissioners on the court approved a set of routine and contract items during their meeting, adopting motions that ranged from payment of regular bills to approval of vendor quotes and policy renewals.

The court unanimously approved regular bills for payment, verified payroll taxes had been filed and authorized the county treasurer to disperse payroll and bills within 72 hours. Commissioner Fincannon moved to approve the item and Commissioner Beauchamp seconded; the motion carried 4‑0. The court also ratified the minutes of the Oct. 21 regular session on a 4‑0 vote.

On personnel benefits, the court authorized the county judge to sign United Concordia’s 2026–27 renewal acceptance form for employee dental coverage. Staff said the renewal locks rates for two years and represents roughly a 6% increase; the county will not change ancillary benefits administration for 2026. The renewal motion was moved by Commissioner Fincannon, seconded by Commissioner Beauchamp, and carried 4‑0.

Other financial and policy renewals approved without dissent included:

- Renewal of the Wichita County Capital Asset Group Disbursement Policy, raising the group capitalization threshold from $100,000 to $150,000 while keeping the individual-asset capitalization threshold at $10,000. The motion was approved 4‑0.

- Renewal of the Wichita County Fund Balance Policy. Staff reported no changes and that the general fund minimum is 25% while current balances are closer to 50%; the court approved renewal 4‑0.

The court also authorized a resolution to cast Wichita Appraisal District board votes for two nominees — Jeff Kent and Shelby Womack — allocating the county’s votes equally between them, and approved the county judge signing that resolution. Court discussion referred to there being "5 46 votes to allocate." The motion to split the allocation and sign the resolution passed 4‑0.

All motions described above were recorded in the meeting minutes and passed unanimously.
