Kiowa PWA narrows purchasing authority to three employees and approves routine finance reports; rate study tabled
Summary
The Kiowa Public Works Authority designated Daniel Dibble, Josh Furr and Jeri Ann Hasty as the only employees authorized to make PWA purchases, approved financial and purchases reports presented by Tracy Reed, and voted to table a rate study. The Authority also heard a delinquent accounts report showing four shut-offs in October.
At its Oct. 30 meeting, the Kiowa Public Works Authority approved a motion to limit which employees may make purchases on behalf of the Authority and approved routine financial paperwork.
J. Wilson suggested employees photograph receipts with their phones so the Treasurer and City Council would receive immediate notification; the suggestion was described as costing no additional funds and as useful for next year’s budget planning. On a motion by D. Drake, seconded by T.S. Barker, the Authority voted to designate Daniel Dibble, Josh Furr and Jeri Ann Hasty as the only employees authorized to make purchases for the PWA. The vote passed with M. Sexton, T.S. Barker, T. Horn, D. Drake, J. Hasty and K. Burgett voting yes and J. Ray recorded absent.
Tracy Reed of RSMeacham CPA & Associates presented and reviewed both the Financial Report and the Purchases Report; the Authority approved both reports on a motion by M. Sexton and a second by T. Horn (recorded vote: all present yes; J. Ray absent).
The Authority also tabled its Rate Study Report (listed for Jared Nicholson) on a motion by M. Sexton, seconded by T. Horn. L. Shows presented the PWA Delinquent Accounts Report and noted four shut-offs in October 2025. The meeting adjourned at 7:00 p.m.
Details recorded in the meeting minutes show these items were routine approvals and administrative direction rather than changes to rates or large new policy initiatives.
