Bob Heim, director of Public Works, said two of the county’s larger dump trucks have topped 100,000 miles and staff are recommending purchase through a cooperative Sourcewell contract (bid 032824-KTC) offered by MHC Kenworth. \"They will be 2 new 2026 T480 dump trucks that have a 14 foot bed and they will come with an extended 5 year warranty,\" Heim said. Staff reported funds have been certified by the county auditor and estimated delivery in December.

On road surfacing, Heim said the county received one bid for the microsurfacing portion of the 2025 road resurfacing project and is recommending award to Vance Brothers; the commission voted to approve the bid award. Heim also brought an order approving annual bid contracts (categories 6 through 22) to furnish supplies to Public Works: staff said roughly 70 vendors were selected and requested commission sign-off to proceed with annual purchasing.

All procurement motions were approved by recorded votes of 3-0.

Why it matters: The truck purchase replenishes aging equipment the county relies on for road work; the microsurfacing contract is part of the 2025 resurfacing program; the annual contracts allow routine supply purchases for Public Works operations.

Details recorded at the meeting: purchase price $425,880 for two trucks; trucks expected to arrive in December 2025; microsurfacing bid awarded to Vance Brothers (one bid received); annual bid approvals cover roughly 70 vendors in categories 6–22. No contract amendments or alternate vendors were discussed at the meeting.

Next steps: Staff will finalize the Kenworth MOU, place the order, list replaced vehicles for sale on Purple Wave auction and implement the awarded surfacing contract when scheduled.","Commissioners approved a memorandum to buy two 2026 Kenworth T480 dump trucks for $425,880, awarded the 2025 microsurfacing contract to Vance Brothers, and approved about 70 annual bid contracts for Public Works supplies.",{"_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},6087552,"Platte County schedules three public hearings to update traffic sign ordinances",90,555000,645000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2889542-b53d5b90dc787142d84e54db7d223405&start=555&end=645","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2889542-b53d5b90dc787142d84e54db7d223405/thumbnail_555000.jpg","/articles/6087552/Platte-County/Missouri/Platte-County-schedules-three-public-hearings-to-update-traffic-sign-ordinances","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6087552-54ee38a54b697f7aefdd4386eb144cfc/orig.mp4?Expires=1775915995&Signature=XqQ59WEHjWXyMdh-VD6PbF5XKXCUtFXw6ojdOg-VIP-OSxyN6S5-YASNnarEOHhdOQ5HAcSTqTj0ZArVHYJJYVxl4z4GkpZcyzfgPG8lctS5zTD3W0dKdDNxS4283ckYa2Xc8s~1hvRIos8iPIlCcuNK~Zz2dJjqY3XSwXG5SOM-fE-OO9vs-XOjOSko2t4UxAggtd1JQni0y9veXFbmooW2ScWU1fEznQ1rPqXKWPudeN53wUEP7YzU7JwsT~mkg9Fi8A9ApQZMI5-KNsQsZQtTSedUs5d8JLblJN1DiToM~CHLN74bHqBU73ZY3-zGuCK22tphga9EYBm5ncJQ9Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Platte County’s public works director asked the commission to call three public hearings to update the county’s traffic ordinance schedules for speed limits, stop intersections and parking restrictions; the commission approved the request 3-0.

Bob Heim, Director of Public Works, said the county has not updated the ordinance schedules for regulatory signs in some time and that he coordinated with road districts and municipalities on proposed updates. \"By state statute 304.13 we are required to post public notice in several different places,\" Heim said, and staff recommended holding hearings on April 21, May 5 and May 19.

The commission approved resolution 2025RES028 to call the public hearings. Staff said the hearings and public notice are statutory requirements and are needed to amend the county’s list of regulatory signs.

Why it matters: The hearings are a required procedural step before the county amends its traffic sign schedules; changes could affect speed limits, stop intersections and parking restrictions at specified locations across the county.

Next steps: Staff will publish the required notices and hold the three public hearings; edits to Schedules 1, 2 and 3 will be considered at those hearings and brought back to the commission for final action.","Public Works requested and the commission approved (3-0) resolutions calling three hearings to update online traffic sign schedules for speed limits, stop intersections and parking restrictions as required by state statute 304.13.",{"_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},6087557,"Platte County renews University of Missouri partnership for Dorothy Day Cabin and approved emergency HVAC repair",174,278000,452000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2889542-b53d5b90dc787142d84e54db7d223405&start=278&end=452","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2889542-b53d5b90dc787142d84e54db7d223405/thumbnail_278000.jpg","/articles/6087557/Platte-County/Missouri/Platte-County-renews-University-of-Missouri-partnership-for-Dorothy-Day-Cabin-and-approved-emergency-HVAC-repair","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6087557-b9b8414bfed90cda03c0188974b04179/orig.mp4?Expires=1775915995&Signature=XTpyb1oRA0SPnZlUSkZAFuN2cOLTcadpJ0Wwx3X6Kq2vYy-jg59AlW3Eo1RdiLzruVQFYB4BJV4Z86sZO87-q49d7izYVisfcHztw5wbrWz-vW~FTNScEm~1Y~FYvEFyxMQ1bygbolvm3sgC7N1P1Zwhg20FFpFrY8Ojbig7cOS4dijPiwdmFUr~xmCuNWrRLzP~1SRB3obMnHK8kOTiCeCfyvKeKeb9NJ6U0MRhJNBNS3MGoRW2DTYbwGRvtA~kG~Moc5NFvZHzGP5IRwrEjF-Vlyq~fN3ZtQtZhDDhr9hN4wEgcEal4bbBZxF9vRmV2Xgd-hVIVp8UoVEz0liUDA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Platte County commissioners approved a renewal of a collaborative agreement with the Curators of the University of Missouri to program the Dorothy Day Cabin and also approved an emergency purchase to replace the cabin’s HVAC system.

Chris Orchard of Platte County Parks and Recreation said staff made an emergency purchase from Mueller Heating and Cooling after the cabin’s HVAC failed in cold weather, causing broken pipes and interior damage. \"The cost was $23,889. They replaced it about a month ago, and it's been working since then,\" Orchard said, noting the previous system was about 12 years old.

Orchard also presented a renewal agreement with the University of Missouri. He said the new agreement is a two-year contract with three one-year options to extend, which together could carry the partnership through 2029 if all options are exercised. Under the arrangement the university programs the cabin for small events and runs an artist residency roughly twice a year. Orchard described programming as including master gardening classes, painting classes and other small events, and said the arrangement is nonfinancial.

The commission approved the emergency purchase (2025CODash034) and the collaborative partnership agreement (2025CODash036) by recorded votes of 3-0. Staff said the emergency purchase had been reviewed by the county auditor and county counselor.

Why it matters: The partnership and the contractor repair reactivated a property that had been idle and allows continued public programming and artist residencies at the cabin, according to Parks and Recreation staff.

Details recorded at the meeting: the HVAC emergency purchase amount ($23,889); the system was roughly 12 years old; the partnership term is two years with three one-year options; staff said the arrangement is nonfinancial and that parking is limited so events are kept small. Commissioners offered no further policy direction at the meeting.

Next steps: Staff will continue the partnership under the renewed agreement and maintain the facility for upcoming residencies; feedback from the current resident will be gathered after the residency ends Thursday, Orchard said.","Commissioners approved a two-year collaborative agreement (with options) with the University of Missouri to program the Dorothy Day Cabin and retroactively approved an emergency HVAC purchase after staff reported a $23,889 replacement to support an artist residency.",{"_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},6087562,"Platte County to solicit engineers for $6.8 million Double A Wicomus Drive improvements",32,104000,136000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2889542-b53d5b90dc787142d84e54db7d223405&start=104&end=136","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2889542-b53d5b90dc787142d84e54db7d223405/thumbnail_104000.jpg","/articles/6087562/Platte-County/Missouri/Platte-County-to-solicit-engineers-for-68-million-Double-A-Wicomus-Drive-improvements","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6087562-5279a61fb5832bdd09834f25c213af15/orig.mp4?Expires=1775915995&Signature=ISXVoGQYoF6yPiYxqElihUQm70fOIRBm4wdisBTjnGp0X55myc74GCjdoXqYD0T6sDp0tjOkGACGpXPqYONrhydeB5RttBzdspJaZLnosRm6twK6bdaIOWtNLvnZolFx-3dZUFmPwlqvElTagWIb5r0cFvXF-TCXV-q9pxUKOHWwNZ~uAqOIvYecIK2ePEwm6KddbplXGs-VKNFJBVlniLVnfLXrFgxhAv1wYHVMFiBs5cBeIqxpMgPSP1E24nl-7KlY88yAJ6iiKcdFNgaBNEnazDhikkT5~VZxJJu4S0AmQwg9gfZT-jFXMQg7wkiCXXVgAztIJQWTBsYoCcMrrQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Platte County commissioners voted Tuesday to release a request for qualifications for engineering services tied to a $6.8 million grant for improvements to Double A Wicomus Drive.

County Administrator Wes Minder told the commission the grant covers improvements on Double A Wicomus Drive in the Northmore area and that one of the first steps is to solicit design professionals through a request-for-qualifications process. \"We will release that request and have consultants propose and then evaluate and select our team that would design the project,\" Minder said.

The county moved to approve resolution 2025RES033 to solicit professional engineering services; the motion passed 3-0. Staff said the RFQ release is an initial step to select a consultant who would prepare the design for the grant-funded work.

Why it matters: The $6.8 million grant is the primary funding referenced by staff for the project. Selecting a design team begins the formal project-development timeline and is required before engineering, bidding and construction can proceed.

Commissioners did not debate alternative funding or design approaches at length during the meeting. The commission recorded a unanimous vote in favor of releasing the RFQ and moving the project into consultant selection.

Next steps: County staff will issue the request for qualifications, review consultant proposals and bring a recommended firm back to the commission for approval before design begins. No timetable for consultant selection was specified at the meeting.","County administrators voted 3-0 to release a request for qualifications for engineering services after receiving a $6.8 million grant to improve Double A Wicomus Drive in the Northmore area.","actionData","errors"]
