Commission awaiting final contract from Wichita firm for county tax‑sale services
Loading...
Summary
County staff reported they have sent all parcel information to a Wichita firm and are awaiting clarifications needed to finalize a contract; commissioners said they will need a formal contract and a commission vote before proceeding.
County staff told the Crawford County Commission that they have supplied a Wichita firm with data for a proposed tax‑sale service and were awaiting clarification on several points before a final contract could be drafted.
The item matters because outsourcing tax‑sale or foreclosure services affects how the county handles delinquent tax parcels and can change timelines and costs for reclaiming or selling properties.
A county staff member said the firm requested clarifications and that, once clarified, the county would need a final contract and a commission vote before work could begin. Commissioners asked staff to follow up with the firm and to "bump" them for a response; staff said they would call. No vote or contract award took place at the meeting.
Discussion vs. decisions: staff described the status of vendor communications and the need for a final contract; commissioners directed staff to follow up and prepare a contract for commission consideration. No decision or contract was approved at the meeting.
