Todd, the county\u0000s resource management director, told the commission the City of Ozark unanimously approved a proposed IGA amendment at a recent city council meeting and returned the amendment to the county for approval and signature. The amendment clarifies terms of the December 18 IGA and creates a requirement that the county provide an irrevocable letter of credit to secure public infrastructure not yet completed for the county\u0000s project.

Todd said the city is requesting an amount equal to 30% over the schedule of values for the remaining infrastructure. Todd provided figures on the record but the transcript contains inconsistent numeric values (see clarifying details). Todd said the immediate purpose is to allow the county to close on two lots in the 40-acre County Plaza development; he said the first lot\u0000s closing is scheduled in April and the second lot may close on April 8.

An Ozark Bank representative described typical market terms and fees and said the county historically pays about a 2% fee for a one-year letter of credit; he said the city is seeking an 18-month maturity on the letter of credit. Commissioners expressed concern about the cost to taxpayers and asked Todd to provide exact fee and cost figures. Presiding Commissioner Glenn Morris said staff should keep the commission informed daily while final details are negotiated.

Commissioners moved and seconded approval of the IGA amendment and later made a separate motion to authorize issuance of the letter of credit; both motions passed by voice vote with all present commissioners saying \"aye.\" The commission also noted that city staff and the city attorney had differing statements about whether the letter of credit itself would trigger further city plat review, and Todd said staff is coordinating with city planning staff to resolve that timing.

Commissioners said they would hold a special meeting if necessary to sign finalized documents to avoid delaying the lot closings. They instructed Todd and county staff to report the precise taxpayer cost and final terms before final execution.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Christian County Commission - 2025-03-27","oneSentenceSummary","The Christian County Commission approved an amendment to an intergovernmental agreement with the City of Ozark and authorized issuance of a county-backed irrevocable letter of credit to secure public infrastructure for the County Plaza development; commissioners asked staff to report taxpayer costs and to expedite closing of two lots in April.","taxTitle","Christian County, Missouri","taxId",52859,"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},6099581,"Christian County renews coroner autopsy contract with Southwest Missouri Forensics",85,152000,237000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2817404-462d8b2f6102c07724b71f7a613b6d88&start=152&end=237","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2817404-462d8b2f6102c07724b71f7a613b6d88/thumbnail_152000.jpg","/articles/6099581/Christian-County/Missouri/Christian-County-renews-coroner-autopsy-contract-with-Southwest-Missouri-Forensics","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6099581-c35c963dd4f05ff423d7c8061351e8e7/orig.mp4?Expires=1771166032&Signature=U5j0Ml67dSji1in4l~9VbFYTEuDCcuaPlMkjAL60XqiGfbbZE3h3ymcAaVeJd7U3lWeT~j-O0O9hJWvw78aEn2OmHbXgjYd3Pzrn-ykrQl9WuVZlApNrMZNpEK7nv6cRvtn7XEb4j8QVpQxwRUz3Z03G8FUrRyaaJkrOtKa~PLVx5u8emjFRShHW~~i-qCd4jV1IMdB4c1L-fPQb17VIS~2-VXyzdIeki0-o3xQKeXR-zm5oLGcrq0kwdly67n2yQ9MHcRkv2GnqvYEoHBeO6GzgsbvokrQl20HwWxBlI6Npwp5DtokYO4JODBP0Q6HSXlBciT4RYbOCKzdX6gi27Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Christian County Commission on March 27 approved a one-year renewal of RFP 2023-2, the county\u0000s competitive contract for forensic autopsy and pathology services, awarding the renewal to Southwest Missouri Forensics.

The contract was originally competitively bid in 2023 with two proposals submitted, and Southwest Missouri Forensics was judged the best value. Janine, speaking for the coroner\u0000s office, said this would be the second contract renewal and recommended renewing the contract with Southwest Missouri Forensics for an additional year. \"The contract was competitively bid in 2023 with 2 proposals received, and Southwest Missouri Forensics was the overall best and most pricing,\" Janine said.

Janine told commissioners the renewal consolidates several discrete line items into a single bundled fee so that \"every autopsy will cost the same,\" and that the change does not add separate charges for services such as X-rays. The coroner\u0000s office representative said the prior billing had waited on invoices from outside vendors and the new arrangement standardizes the county\u0000s per-autopsy charge.

Commissioners moved and seconded the renewal and voted in favor; Presiding Commissioner Glenn Morris, Western Commissioner Johnny Williams and Eastern Commissioner Bradley Jackson recorded \"aye.\" The commission did not discuss a detailed per-autopsy dollar amount at the meeting and no formal budget adjustment was presented.

The renewal preserves continuity of forensic services for the coroner\u0000s office while standardizing billing, the coroner\u0000s office said. The contract renewal and vote were recorded on the meeting record.

The commission proceeded to other business after approving the renewal.","At its March 27 meeting, the Christian County Commission approved a one-year renewal of RFP 2023-2 for forensic autopsy and pathology services with Southwest Missouri Forensics; the renewal consolidates fees so each autopsy carries a single, uniform charge.","actionData","errors"]
