Staff discussed the county’s longstanding use of a posting service (referred to in the meeting as Palmetto Posting) that visits properties and maintains posting records. Staff said the county has used that provider for about 10 years and that the typical per‑parcel price discussed in the meeting was $35 per parcel, with a potential renewal pricing ramp for new customers up to $40 per parcel over a multi‑year renewal.

Later in the meeting staff asked for permission to enter into a contract with “Continental Coastal” (the transcript uses that name). Commissioners approved entering into the contract by voice vote. Staff said the service is a significant time‑saver for the county, noting last year’s total cost of roughly $16,700, and that staff will provide the vendor a list of properties subject to second‑ and third‑year tax sale notices.

The transcript does not provide the signed contract text or confirm whether Palmetto Posting and Continental Coastal are the same entity, a successor, or different vendors; vendor pricing and year‑by‑year renewal terms were discussed but not included in a written packet in the public transcript.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Commission Meeting March 18th 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The commission approved a contract to continue using an outside service to post notices for properties subject to tax sale; the meeting referenced both Palmetto Posting and Continental Coastal in related discussion.","taxTitle","St. Francois County, Missouri","taxId",61479,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6632572,"Commission allows bid for detective bureau pickup to be paid from law enforcement restitution fund",96,729000,825000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2671637-25d3848027c0662c48cb8da711e06788&start=729&end=825","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2671637-25d3848027c0662c48cb8da711e06788/thumbnail_729000.jpg","/articles/6632572/St-Francois-County/Missouri/Commission-allows-bid-for-detective-bureau-pickup-to-be-paid-from-law-enforcement-restitution-fund","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6632572-4b95a7025c3ec7307cc4d862c9121cad/orig.mp4?Expires=1773583854&Signature=mg7nxcX1Hmzkzypcbdel~m3VHKZuUO6Pj5McsH9e9T7O9AoOx-b3PjoUM1SmSXdk-2JB9rlkCG04yQutB8bD7OVwTvFhl~iw3llFnBWGobxii7iZVrXBX3Co1dIR-tGKftrMOs38QQVc1H3p-YvllChCrStE-ji21y7bE5yCPKaDLp02W96hQo84QpyMl4rhRPWkJJzi~elNhmUuDdZf8jsKB~QFHL8Wur9J-EHT-YT3ZlRUDJY1RRgpkboJvP3ETXesJo~YIV80t2lKs1uIMxl-wkscGUoMQ7-evu-t6p-3frVLLF754QOKMCsYAnOQoZ-ZioSTNW0bd-7Dyf2aBA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","St. Francois County commissioners authorized staff to solicit bids for a police‑package pickup truck for the county detective bureau and to use funds from the law enforcement restitution fund (LERF) to pay down the purchase.

County staff said the detective bureau currently has five detectives and that one had been assigned to a multi‑agency drug task force in St. Louis and had been using rental vehicles. Staff described the pickup as a Ford police‑package, four‑wheel‑drive crew cab, needed because detectives sometimes must haul items they do not want in a passenger compartment. The purchase was not originally included in the sheriff’s budget, staff said; the LERF board (law enforcement restitution fund) agreed to make funds available.

A motion to permit bidding on the vehicle and to use the LERF funds was moved and seconded; commissioners approved the request by voice vote. Staff said the purchase will be a police‑package pickup truck and that the funding exists in the LERF account.

No vendor or bid amounts were presented at the meeting; staff requested permission only to advertise a bid and proceed subject to procurement rules.","Commissioners authorized staff to seek bids for a police‑package pickup truck for the detective bureau, funded through the law enforcement restitution fund (LERF).",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6632576,"Commission awards annual county bids; commissioners table asphalt bid after low response",167,536000,703000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2671637-25d3848027c0662c48cb8da711e06788&start=536&end=703","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2671637-25d3848027c0662c48cb8da711e06788/thumbnail_536000.jpg","/articles/6632576/St-Francois-County/Missouri/Commission-awards-annual-county-bids-commissioners-table-asphalt-bid-after-low-response","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6632576-39528a945840565682e2c935047b57df/orig.mp4?Expires=1773583854&Signature=PNEEDrA012Fnpc0oRAOazRm07wUh87w5Gazq0l2J3FzxlZJ4438zMwadYmp5NNTuyS6Bh9tI2J-UGkKxtrR3yM7BeYy2l1fwqpZNAJgkjGqwk2tUn-iuSKA1xOG7y8s9WpPxe8xsZ0rRjaksrvNmumPv5GRzakJZjOkd5nN~Q7shDr7Urntl~k8RsGdakkGak4Ga3K98qxWNiJantFH5Eqx1JXpCW14GAH0O6~Jwj4UbyHGl2e5DRXJAwQQ2lygL0oOMcIyNymIufY9qXgsaMpd8Ge1RuCJ6KKDtdnaph3J-JNZvRaEBQks~nI05fqAT3G4CV7BNOAr53HsXaLRiRg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","St. Francois County commissioners voted to award the county’s annual bids for several offices and services, then debated and tabled action on an annual asphalt bid after staff reported only one bid was received.

A commissioner moved and the commission approved awarding the annual bids covering services for the circuit judge, circuit court reporter, circuit marshal, road and bridge, county clerk and treasurer, according to the meeting record. No specific vendor names or contract amounts were read into the record.

County staff told commissioners that the asphalt bid opening produced a single bid, which staff and commissioners said was unusually low participation compared with previous years when two or three bidders typically responded. Commissioners discussed whether to reject that single bid and rebid to attract more suppliers and better geographic coverage; concerns included ensuring availability of asphalt at multiple locations across the county and avoiding dependence on a single supplier.

After discussion the commission tabled the asphalt bid item to allow staff to follow up on legal requirements and rebidding strategy; the transcript records the chair saying the item will return to a subsequent meeting for further action.

No formal vote tally or vendor list was included in the public transcript for the annual bid awards or the tabling action beyond voice approval for the annual bids and the motion to table the asphalt item.","The commission approved a list of annual bid awards for county services and tabled action on an asphalt bid after receiving only one response, citing a need to rebid for broader competition.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6632580,"Commissioners authorize application for tire recycling grant covering county tire drop‑off and pickup",98,365000,463000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2671637-25d3848027c0662c48cb8da711e06788&start=365&end=463","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2671637-25d3848027c0662c48cb8da711e06788/thumbnail_365000.jpg","/articles/6632580/St-Francois-County/Missouri/Commissioners-authorize-application-for-tire-recycling-grant-covering-county-tire-dropoff-and-pickup","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6632580-73d9e5360050e9bfbef5fa52ddc20e75/orig.mp4?Expires=1773583854&Signature=X9C2bzx4c~yF7-V1~Ks4V6wzZNgQzq7y0kb~xMrla8K7iytsZZvqLbPCfxXWZNImjqQ8-ejDj6rJXa1aiyE9an8OUD48cWYT6~kArX69DEhBHAlj2z6XDIWMcn8WWGUqoUNNFaoYVkTjNbuY~dBe0mC9F4tRft-yITm0Fo6bPDDEgky3qjZ6p~ENAGSvgW-82aeuQImq4bHvPTJxwQ9JUnbzSbqI~cudD4wqtuBz1pD~~aprtlStFB5adZ1Ffwjec1nnswVdR8yikBXjjShvr0NIUUXHZpJOeG9qpqsjKLwyEtWsLOjYgSPHvAJazGl0a7fh9B8WdjRKAGr3w6wCpw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","St. Francois County commissioners gave staff permission to apply for a Solid Waste Management grant to fund a tire recycling program that would combine curbside pickup and a temporary drop‑off point at the county transfer yard.

County staff said the program would run for about a month, allow residents to drop off tires at the transfer shop and enable county crews to collect illegally dumped tires from roadsides and creek beds. Staff described the grant as roughly $49,000 in total and said the county would provide 25% of the project’s labor or costs while seeking reimbursement for the remainder; staff stated they would request an 85% reimbursement through the grant.

Staff said the county has limited local outlets for tires; the last shredder used was in St. Louis and the Department of Natural Resources provided trailers for a prior program. Commissioners voted to permit staff to apply for the grant.

No formal vendor award or contract was made at the meeting; commissioners authorized the application only. The transcript includes clarification from staff that the grant would reimburse eligible expenses and that hauling to a shredder would be part of the project’s cost structure.","The commission approved seeking a Solid Waste Management grant to fund a month‑long tire pick‑up and drop‑off program; staff said the grant totals about $49,000 with the county providing a 25% match.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6632585,"St. Francois County approves upfitting for five sheriff vehicles, authorizes salvage of older units",203,73000,276000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2671637-25d3848027c0662c48cb8da711e06788&start=73&end=276","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2671637-25d3848027c0662c48cb8da711e06788/thumbnail_73000.jpg","/articles/6632585/St-Francois-County/Missouri/St-Francois-County-approves-upfitting-for-five-sheriff-vehicles-authorizes-salvage-of-older-units","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6632585-2872d9017053125bf7fe9b44967e694a/orig.mp4?Expires=1773583854&Signature=GXg~0SknQBqvUmR7oeo8-hIUT3TaWEjNCQDorsfemdq5z09PdCcS0RS3MFw1LF1XAMvdPklkv7BhIqKAfoYaYNinffOibKJMB5HIygcM0gEXJ4srtReF4xpPvmCXqr~Z-2HnCUuBagq011ijQ6R6kWpct-85SMzuf2lhnW2~1eUw8q2LaI0bi9PMMy50hMJpGQzTy6avQ3jMxcFHvCMoLVYKhsjD7zI0K2AsmoaC8yJZT-QxNm0ZvtEUAQ9BB4MGy7Kz6Ele1ybGhnFKGM4afBc7cs8n-4D1q7qNZmgLKX0A5D~6mAFJtJra5wVED7n39zp78H1v~fpRdps60kNp8A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","St. Francois County commissioners approved purchase of equipment to upfit five Tahoe patrol vehicles and authorized salvaging three older county vehicles during a regular meeting. The motion to buy the upfitting equipment passed after commissioners said the purchase follows a state contract.

The equipment purchase was described in the meeting as “for upfitting for 5 Tahoes” with the equipment “totaling $34,298.48,” according to a presentation to the commission. A county speaker identified the procurement as sole‑source under a “code 3” designation and later said it is a state contract. Commissioners voted verbally to approve the purchase.

Commissioners also voted to remove three county vehicles from service and approve salvaging them. The vehicles listed in the discussion were a 2002 Crown Victoria with about 310,000 miles, a 2004 van with about 238,000 miles and a 2005 pickup with about 240,000 miles. County staff said the Crown Victoria and the van can be offered at auction if they remain operable; otherwise the vehicles would be salvaged. The county indicated it plans to wait until several vehicles are available before scheduling an auction company to inspect and remove units.

During the discussion a county speaker noted some equipment from older cars will be reused in new vehicles. Commissioners asked whether radios and “deer guards” (the term used in the meeting) were included; staff replied they are included in the quoted price.

No separate formal vote tally was recorded in the meeting transcript; commissioners expressed approval by voice vote. The transcript records the motions and commissioners’ verbal “aye” responses.

County staff identified the purchase as being made under state contract; no ordinance or statutory citation was provided in the meeting record.

The commission also discussed disposal logistics and auction timing, and directed staff to proceed with the purchases and salvaging as described.","County commissioners approved purchase of equipment to upfit five Tahoe patrol vehicles and authorized salvaging three high‑mileage vehicles.
