Summary
County staff reported the Wichita County courthouse renovation and annex work is largely finished: final countertops and cleanup remain, furniture is expected next week, and coordination between security vendors and door suppliers continues; one security door may not arrive until January but staff said that will not delay security installation.
Wichita County staff told Commissioners Court on Aug. 12 that work on the courthouse renovation and county annexes is mostly complete and the county is close to moving back in.
The update said finishing work remains — primarily countertops and cleanup — but that most construction items should be done by the end of the week. Furniture deliveries are scheduled for next week and staff said they will verify that schedule in writing.
Court members discussed door installations and security systems. Staff reported they had confirmed the door awarded in the construction procurement will be usable and that another door that had appeared to be in stock was not actually available; that second door may not arrive until January. The county’s security vendor and the door supplier have been put in direct contact so the systems can be coordinated, and staff said the timing should not prevent completion of the security system work.
The court asked about timing for vacating temporary office space; staff indicated the county should be able to be out of rented space by Sept. 1 if the final items are finished on schedule. Staff also said the previously discussed need for a bucket truck for Alpha Omega was resolved.
No formal action was taken; the item was an informational update.
