County maintenance staff and a Carlisle representative walked the roof last week and found areas the county believes were not installed to specification. Maintenance staff described metal discs or washers beneath the membrane where fasteners secure decking to the insulation and said some fasteners appeared to compress the insulation and create deeper depressions than typical. County officials asked Carlisle to review photos and installation documents and said Carlisle indicated it would process a warranty work order for some issues shown in earlier photos.

Commissioners and staff said Carlisle’s warranty covers the membrane and proper installation; county staff will continue to gather installation records and follow up on areas Carlisle flagged for repair. County maintenance reported a new interior leak above the jailer’s mailboxes on the north hallway the morning of July 1.

County staff said they will work with Carlisle and the installer to determine scope and responsibility for repairs. Commissioners requested additional document review and follow-up inspections; no specific repair schedule or cost estimate was provided at the meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Commissioner's Court 7/1/2025","oneSentenceSummary","Wichita County officials met with a Carlisle representative to inspect the law enforcement center roof, and staff said Carlisle appears ready to process warranty work after identifying installation issues including improper fasteners and areas needing repair; a new interior leak was reported July 1.","taxTitle","Wichita County, Texas","taxId",2723,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_46":80,"_48":81,"_50":82,"_52":83,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":84,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":85,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6180833,"Commissioners approve temporary flaggers and a temporary bridge worker for chip-seal season",329,3061000,3390000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5116427-b981a5076ea97c5f66968068fbae0d4f&start=3061&end=3390","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5116427-b981a5076ea97c5f66968068fbae0d4f/thumbnail_3061000.jpg","/articles/6180833/Wichita-County/Texas/Commissioners-approve-temporary-flaggers-and-a-temporary-bridge-worker-for-chip-seal-season","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6180833-876885286741714ec086e96232e5db76/orig.mp4?Expires=1770921328&Signature=NBQ2Y31EXva8Vct89OOqBxVKm3MpzN1oMXymrimaWl1N6KjUzpBFlyraaSut7NYiryR1nPHujbuLQk3WXu~C4WOwHE9Rxwti3pQv66aN0mTjFZFzPEuzgCC6UlgPbn9-bwICph2WNDWLgu5AJlPaTP9gwCSwWfk4BmZqXn91kgWXjV5BW-WczWsjsaWs47gFwwn7dCwJde9YOgl2d54JSczrHeG9zzFwrNleqcaSJNiLxz9f35rLFEZM7nZ6Roa5WEkErTpHhgOma4aMrdRvat~cZZvV~zFrkxy51ODoIZIDa1525w3-dRMMdPsOfICdXXYPA5-kKJ5h96aDVmbh-A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Wichita County Commissioners Court on July 1 authorized the employment of temporary flaggers for the county’s chip-seal program and approved a temporary worker for Bridge Precinct 1 through October 2025.

For the chip-seal project, commissioners directed that the temporary flagger be paid from the road-and-bridge precinct for which the flagging work occurs; timekeeping will track days worked in each precinct so costs are billed accordingly. The motion to authorize the flagger was made by Commissioner Fincannon and seconded by Commissioner Beecham; the vote was 5-0.

Separately, the court approved employing a temporary worker for Bridge Precinct 1 through October 2025 to support ongoing seasonal workload. That motion was made by Commissioner Beecham and seconded by Commissioner Fincannon; the vote was 5-0.

County staff said the hires are temporary positions to support chip sealing and bridge-season needs and that the county will fund the positions from the appropriate precinct budgets with lines determined by the county auditor.

Staff presented two quotes: one from a contractor identified as Jesus Valdez for $24,180 and another from Wilson Contracting for $33,002.85. Commissioners said the work would replace discontinuous blocks with a continuous sidewalk, build a retaining wall similar to earlier courthouse work, and address erosion that washes across the walkway. The work would be paid from the permanent improvement fund with lines determined by the county auditor.

Commissioners discussed enlarging the project to include an additional stretch of sidewalk that would be more efficient to demolish and rebuild while contractors are mobilized. Rather than approve a contract at the meeting, the court voted to table the item so staff can ask both bidders for updated quotes covering the larger scope and return to the court on July 8 with those prices.

No contract was awarded on July 1. Commissioners said they will consider updated bids and whether a larger phase would be cost-effective; if the total cost exceeds competitive bidding thresholds, staff said they will follow procurement rules.","Officials reviewed two quotes to replace 190 feet of sidewalk, construct a 90-foot retaining wall and add ADA-compliant approaches at the Wichita County Courthouse but tabled the project to obtain updated quotes covering a larger area; one bid was about $24,180 and the other about $33,002.85.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_46":104,"_48":105,"_50":106,"_52":107,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":108,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":109,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6180843,"Wichita County rescinds 2022 open-records webform requirement after bot-driven requests",434,1831000,2265000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5116427-b981a5076ea97c5f66968068fbae0d4f&start=1831&end=2265","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5116427-b981a5076ea97c5f66968068fbae0d4f/thumbnail_1831000.jpg","/articles/6180843/Wichita-County/Texas/Wichita-County-rescinds-2022-open-records-webform-requirement-after-bot-driven-requests","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6180843-172e13270a5bb669506add1858ebac01/orig.mp4?Expires=1770921328&Signature=IJBUseYiNPumJXxNeF5cDekjJhOIkGP1LglFAUbkd36HQQlGuYJ6Dw4~iW23CVAKM6OiJuYTeFrqz3p3svPJQx40MWzWBYmLPE1tTrQArFDSzDLJMfW4vHTFlsvkuHh6yMGwMJfJq9RGYjbHcLXfK~cueEBF1gPDagNfsorgETpIalpz~H2lmkJ~x~fZVOSsqBKKj1jlHjFauB5gtMKDp0hazi6UTO1F-bQgTTHBdSaf4ZtHthovw0KRSdIIvjVux3wKgwnepgJeoSCIhSXDuz3kEVUe23pRxkbiJ05NApJtjtNOhpIWBhYsEAXgmi1fcxIfDUz1Z~8YkPEnUTd05w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Wichita County Commissioners Court voted 5-0 on July 1 to rescind court order 22.1031.759, which had required all open-records requests to be submitted via a county web form or a designated open-records email address.

County officials said the 2022 requirement had unintentionally concentrated a large volume of requests — including many that appear to be automated or originate from outside the United States — on the civil attorney’s office, creating extra work and security concerns. The court approved rescinding the order and returning receipt responsibilities to elected officials and department heads while retaining the civil office as the central point for legal support.

A county representative described the pattern as \"mainly data ... solely data mining\" and said the volume of requests had grown dramatically in recent months, straining staff resources. County leaders emphasized that members of the public may still submit open-records requests by written mail, hand delivery, or email to elected officials or department heads using the same forms they have used previously. Officials asked that those recipients forward records requests to the civil office for legal review and tracking.

The motion to rescind court order 22.1031.759 was made by Commissioner Mahler and seconded by Commissioner Beauchamp; the vote was 5-0. County staff said the civil attorney’s office will assist departments in responding to requests to make sure the county remains in compliance with state public-records law.","The commissioners voted unanimously to rescind a 2022 court order that required all open-records requests to go through a centralized web form or email, citing a surge in automated and out-of-country requests that burdened the civil attorney’s office.",{"_33":111,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":112,"_41":113,"_43":114,"_45":115,"_46":116,"_48":117,"_50":118,"_52":119,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":120,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":121,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6180848,"Wichita County adds Quail Ridge West to county road inventory after public hearing",1135,609000,1744000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5116427-b981a5076ea97c5f66968068fbae0d4f&start=609&end=1744","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5116427-b981a5076ea97c5f66968068fbae0d4f/thumbnail_609000.jpg","/articles/6180848/Wichita-County/Texas/Wichita-County-adds-Quail-Ridge-West-to-county-road-inventory-after-public-hearing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6180848-b8b8e606c4903ae5960fef7fde3d1418/orig.mp4?Expires=1770921328&Signature=KdDvPO7LuP9sQfVILMxPt7gzJS0PgpPTCtpI7Qe~YSg6UJXGNJYBf398kKpZOMIHyQn4goN0MYbBcCxoslpBWQYrnQOfGF2HCVJJ-W5SgD9rG2k6gqvsk06YbxhDt3ViF2d4fO3qFewdJ1s9QeExGQKccr0O4nbV9QCst53bPgualKXNPXWeRiGuhfi8MosDFZBNQrz1Td2RU-OsMj5GlQdwC~FlNjVzklHTZasS3BaHr211XNylvvW17U29JLtSsoz86h56zQDLky3TtLl9a2wZrNMvGO7gtU62LDxghVsiVcLW941FkCSJWCIrBDA2olYoCdBmwnpidLncWImTzg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Wichita County Commissioners Court voted 5-0 on July 1 to add approximately 0.384 miles of Quail Ridge Road, from the Archer County line to Old State Road, into the Precinct 1 road inventory and to designate that segment Quail Ridge West.

The change was proposed at a public hearing so the county can formally maintain the Wichita County side of a road that loops into Archer County and back. Commissioners said the addition cleans up county records and brings the roadway under county maintenance schedules.

A county official noted a mileage discrepancy between sources: the initial public notice listed 0.317 miles while the Texas Department of Transportation had the segment at 0.384 miles. Commissioners used the 0.384-mile figure in the adopted action.

Resident Matthew Chiles testified at the hearing that local property owners supported the county taking responsibility for the road. \"All 3 Covey and both sides of Quail Ridge have been maintained by, Wichita County, and we're thankful for that,\" Matthew Chiles said. Chiles told the court the larger maintenance problems — deep potholes — were on the Archer County side of the horseshoe.

Commissioners said the Wichita County segment needs regular maintenance such as chip sealing; adding the segment into the county inventory will allow the highway department to schedule work. The court’s formal motion to add the roadway was made by Commissioner Beecham and seconded by Commissioner Fincannon; the vote was 5-0 in favor.

Archer County retains jurisdiction for the portion that lies inside its boundary; several speakers at the hearing requested that Archer County address large potholes on its section. The court closed the public hearing before moving to the item for formal adoption.","The Wichita County Commissioners Court voted unanimously to add roughly 0.384 miles of Quail Ridge Road — designated Quail Ridge West — into the Precinct 1 road inventory after a public hearing in which residents said they supported county maintenance of the Wichita County side of the horseshoe-shaped road.","actionData","errors"]
