Wichita County court reviews ClearGov extension and corrects trustee-property invoice

The Wichita County Commissioner's Court moved from public comment to consider its consent agenda on Oct. 28, 2025, including a service-order amendment to extend ClearGov budget-software services and a correction to a Falls Property Administration invoice.

The presiding officer (Speaker 2) said the ClearGov amendment trims service levels the county did not use and ‘‘will save us $6,000 from last year's amount,’’ adding the software had streamlined preparation of the initial budget draft. The item was listed as consent-item 5.

On consent item 10 the presiding officer said the Falls Property Administration invoice dated October 2025 should be corrected: the packet listed $32,170, but ‘‘that should read $7,120.04,’’ a maintenance reimbursement for trustee properties that goes to the city of Wichita Falls.

When asked for clarification about the backup paperwork, Speaker 6 said, ‘‘Looking at the backup information, this is very confusing,’’ and pressed whether the county could transfer its interest in trustee properties to the city to remove county management. Speaker 6 said the invoices and spreadsheets were hard to understand. The presiding officer acknowledged ongoing efforts ‘‘to get rid of county properties and get them back on the tax roll’’ and that the city currently manages those properties.

The provided transcript excerpt does not record a formal motion, mover/second, or a vote on the consent agenda items; the exchange consisted of staff explanation and follow-up questions from participants.
