Jim Maxwell elected chair; Wayne Wilt appointed to Strother Field Commission
Summary
At its Jan. 6 meeting the commission elected Jim Maxwell chairman and Alan Groom vice chairman for 2026 and appointed Wayne Wilt to the Strother Field Commission; votes were 3‑0.
Cowley County commissioners reorganized leadership for 2026 and made an appointment to the Strother Field Commission at the Jan. 6 meeting.
Commissioners elected Jim Maxwell as chairman and Alan Groom as vice chairman for one‑year terms. The board also appointed Wayne Wilt to occupy the county’s seat on the Strother Field Commission for 2026 after a debate about whether the county’s nonvoting position warrants continued participation; commissioners cited concerns about negative budgets at Strother Field but decided to retain representation.
Both the leadership changes and the Strother Field appointment were approved by recorded votes of 3‑0.
