Orlando said the county has trained roughly 1,600 people through its programs since the start of the initiative and that about 100 volunteers are active now, with a new CERT class adding roughly a dozen volunteers. \"We have trained, I believe, close to 1,600 people in the county ... Of those, I would estimate that we have about a hundred active volunteers,\" Orlando said.

Recent activity included a long-term recovery workshop and a tornado exercise with about 35 attendees and a written after-action report; a regional volunteer conference with roughly 99 attendees that generated about 825 hours of training; storm-spotter classes coordinated with the National Weather Service; deployments to assist dialysis appointments; fire-core deployments supporting first responders; and a MOSART search-and-rescue deployment that located an individual who was later found deceased.

Commissioners asked about the volume and content of weather-briefing emails the office distributes; Orlando and staff said they send detailed briefings and maintain a link to a National Weather Service packet on the emergency management website. The commission praised staff and volunteer contributions and noted the small full- and part-time staff supporting the programs.

Orlando said the office planned continued training and outreach and invited residents to contact emergency management to sign up for emails and volunteer opportunities.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Christian County Commission Meeting - 04/17/25","oneSentenceSummary","Assistant Director Jamie Orlando gave a first-quarter report on April 17: CERT training graduations, volunteer growth, a long-term recovery workshop and several deployments including search-and-rescue and dialysis-transport assistance; staff encouraged residents to sign up for weather emails and preparedness briefings.","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},6270099,"Recorder reports higher recording volume, offers free property-alert program amid rising fraud elsewhere in Missouri",349,2457540,2806590,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3039589-5030874da0ae74d284a8fda8adeb58ba&start=2457&end=2806","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3039589-5030874da0ae74d284a8fda8adeb58ba/thumbnail_2457540.jpg","/articles/6270099/Christian-County/Missouri/Recorder-reports-higher-recording-volume-offers-free-property-alert-program-amid-rising-fraud-elsewhere-in-Missouri","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6270099-60a9f44250b7c553b1ee97feadb06ee8/orig.mp4?Expires=1770754368&Signature=F8WM3LW2mMbKYSK8PcaGAO4KC~z9kLSP1HLV-W6QQFwmCBA2c~AxeFmdu3MLATpgX-lkiiHagxgBTSZkiZqz546iZrIxixA9nx0yFCmP42f5clHSet4wT9KRjiOo6byagk283M4dMupx6fiOjsR8J3nCfAYYDhk1s9YdAA6q67X9hP~OWf19aJ4SQT4x-2NdFYmYalWCTV2dUvnSta75oyPosxbhmm072DRMJhtfWPKUL~p7QO0UbQPU9az1HlGNCHzskmUWTBI-xSaE-bTL7qmy66OAjOqQUNyWBajElN9pqKUG~Ps8SYF7eHOZytVI4c7NyXZypjrLPoL9PqWg1A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Recorder of Deeds Miss Skelly reported to the Christian County Commission on April 17 that first-quarter recordings and fees have risen compared with the same period last year and that the office continues to offer a free property-alert program.

\"We took in a total of $166,695.24; of that $77,006.33 was general revenue,\" Miss Skelly said. She reported 3,354 land documents recorded in the first quarter, 89 marriage licenses and 47 plats and surveys. The recorder said those tallies are up from the previous year.

Skelly described an alert program that notifies property owners if a document is recorded in their name. \"If anything gets recorded in your name, that is free of charge,\" she said. She and commissioners discussed property-fraud incidents reported in other counties; Skelly said the county has not had a similar confirmed case but that fraud incidents elsewhere have prompted legislative discussion about additional safeguards and notary penalties.

Skelly told commissioners her office has three full‑time and one part‑time employee and that she has served as recorder of deeds for 15 years and with the county for 21 years. Commissioners thanked her and asked staff to continue public outreach about the alert program and renewal deadlines for local exemptions that affect senior tax freezes.

No new fees or policy changes were proposed at the meeting.","The recorder of deeds reported higher first-quarter recording activity, fee allocations and free fraud-alert service; staff noted property-fraud cases elsewhere in Missouri and said legislation and notary checks are under discussion.",{"_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},6270104,"Christian County Highway Department details first-quarter projects, funding and construction delays",72,1397155,1470045,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3039589-5030874da0ae74d284a8fda8adeb58ba&start=1397&end=1470","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3039589-5030874da0ae74d284a8fda8adeb58ba/thumbnail_1397155.jpg","/articles/6270104/Christian-County/Missouri/Christian-County-Highway-Department-details-first-quarter-projects-funding-and-construction-delays","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6270104-7d9b1aa8ae1773d173ef27e04618fa13/orig.mp4?Expires=1770754368&Signature=Aas3wZoEzTnH~kBZv028SUaW5lhkZx5GydVlR6LaPOXvxM3FKaae2zCw97GI7VIFHAXig7JOYvFECIo6o0AzUceBs-iuuJP5Xk~GiOkR7OMUcHrKKkbvxB6ox8RmyvCL37HU1WoLpesmbnPVOTxkt1GUtbZ-aXCq4mTCXHPYz2gCBEhGoT3Bp1Mbukdjz5RZ0gc8gOdcA3Lamo5Gkxnh9ViKtDCRJ6RngwxsRtKqtTd9wyNxh5xzyYdN2QkRwL8rcfnzG~HmtAjo5W3tfqLPuHrCH2neMFR0beo07f8kSKv~o~FFK0oOPSRqbCc8BTJ5ObEPr8k4KW5UIBSoB6aB0w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","On April 17 the Christian County Highway Administrator, Miss Beetles, presented a first-quarter update that outlined bridge work, ARPA-funded stormwater projects, major roadway designs and an annual resurfacing plan.

The update noted a delay on the Green Bridge construction project while additional reinforcement is fabricated; Beetles said the delay will affect timing but \"this is at no additional cost to the county.\" She told commissioners the fabricator is in central Missouri and the county is waiting on the contractor’s fabrication schedule.

Beetles reviewed multiple projects across the county: relocation and reuse of trusses for Redbridge and Hawkins; a federal Lands Access Program grant for the Chadwick Road bridge over Cedar Creek (reimbursable funds and work scheduled in 2026); utility relocation costs estimated at roughly $1.2 million that are affecting Old Prospects and Shady Lane design work; safety improvements on Sanders Valley north of Hart Lane to reduce hill-topping risks; right-of-way donation from the Firstman family to widen curves on Cottonwood Road; and a Jonesville Road widening study to allow postal and delivery access.

She also described ARPA stormwater projects: completed work at Fern Road and Columbine Road that performed well during heavy rains on April 3–4; near-complete projects at Green Road and Rochester Road; and pending construction at Sawmill Hollow and Hunter (a low-water crossing to be converted to a box culvert). Beetles said the county commissioned a stormwater master plan for the James River watershed portion within Christian County to map problem areas and floodplain exposures.

On annual resurfacing, Beetles provided planned mileage and material types (hot mix asphalt, chip seal and double chip seal) and said Holder Road was removed from the current season’s list pending a petition to vacate. She also reported operational metrics: 36 service requests in the first quarter with an average closure time of two days, and 233 requisitions totaling just under $1 million.

Commissioners asked questions about FEMA review timelines, funding, and staffing; Beetles said some grant reviews have been active since 2020 and timing can be multi-year. She emphasized reuse and salvage of bridge trusses as aesthetic features on certain projects and noted utility company cost demands are a current constraint in at least one design.","Highway Administrator Miss Beetles gave a detailed first-quarter update on April 17 covering bridge projects, ARPA-funded stormwater work, major roadway designs, right-of-way acquisitions and planned resurfacing; several projects face timing or utility-cost issues but staff said work continues with available grants.",{"_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},6270109,"Christian County certifies April 8 municipal election results; low turnout recorded, records destruction noted",179,1144710,1324290,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3039589-5030874da0ae74d284a8fda8adeb58ba&start=1144&end=1324","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3039589-5030874da0ae74d284a8fda8adeb58ba/thumbnail_1144710.jpg","/articles/6270109/Christian-County/Missouri/Christian-County-certifies-April-8-municipal-election-results-low-turnout-recorded-records-destruction-noted","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6270109-f47d0b1348ad26106ba9ddbca90c503c/orig.mp4?Expires=1770754368&Signature=hBT5jwK63ePZ4njmbOjJSsE-pHWBCBZI~Z7-1ANYSaW~-zjQ6HM6xh5V7NqtY7-~WpPQZw1YffvFh6eMfORMHxWXkE6zaSITsVdeyllQjer7PhHWenxeQsTd0jnxMGARh~v7wcUWtfNAP-zENkUqIdQ9Nqi8gEiSkQP1k~InFSM6LRdtENf6htINnRmt~klSyDqGZouEYaFiHSeL~dgsvbDCqYqch-wGIVYwF4va4NX1m14BouTPwgZ~2zZh2zUKqRHjbv0pyrGovwhnJCR1cCQgix3e6xjiNxe~rr-J5ct82hCma~tx~0b7arVrJGh66yQ7iM6NsoPiljYCoJV8DQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","County Clerk Miss Brownfield told the Christian County Commission on April 17 that the April 8 municipal election had a turnout of 8.46% and that she certified the results the previous Friday.

\"Out of 69,653 registered voters, we only had 5,894,\" Miss Brownfield said during her brief report. The clerk said she reviewed turnout numbers going back roughly 20 years and described the April municipal election as typically low turnout.

Commissioners discussed the low participation, with Presiding Commissioner Lynn Morris calling the turnout \"very embarrassing\" and urging broader voter engagement for local races and taxing issues that affect everyday services. The commission then took a motion to accept the election results and recorded the vote in favor: \"All in favor, say aye. Aye.\" The motion passed.

Miss Brownfield also reported that she had destroyed records in accordance with the county retention schedule and Missouri statutes. She said she had sent the list of destroyed records to the commission for the record but did not provide a printed copy at the meeting. The commission noted the record destruction and accepted it without a separate motion.

No contested outcomes, recounts or changes to reported results were announced at the meeting.","County clerk reported an 8.46% turnout for the April 8 municipal elections and certified the results; the clerk also notified the commission of records destroyed under the county retention schedule and commissioners approved the election certification.",{"_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},6270114,"Christian County proclaims days for Chadwick boys and girls state basketball champions",248,37794,286000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3039589-5030874da0ae74d284a8fda8adeb58ba&start=37&end=286","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3039589-5030874da0ae74d284a8fda8adeb58ba/thumbnail_37794.jpg","/articles/6270114/Christian-County/Missouri/Christian-County-proclaims-days-for-Chadwick-boys-and-girls-state-basketball-champions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6270114-3d84cb6cd6f95f9d5ced238d50ee690e/orig.mp4?Expires=1770754368&Signature=Vo4sLmsqumH4cZycH3CmSzolr3ZdnPjL26xJ84j2XBsV7yzy8Ybx~RjSmpgn1sVvDaJ2LjwqWNXp8tYzyFL0Qfemc1l3eZQeI8gnJ-GRi5n601yHMWFYI7Pu6f7dtAUkdRu6ADmVpZIxAxekYvP8moRVMwcOK9VxGiK2j7CG8JAEn3YI6ZT5-xt0krX1-I64LQOZGmqkI72jBgwqFJYoVA2FqWusNvnqIcIlcDV3fnEm2FC2EQYm7PYd7SYeiplxWx3uxspkvAD~8ygwo2Zy6YeKMkMP6QFD0Djjs18fQnQaJgLyT-wLkrSBSFZQY7O-HTp9O6feL-oIKe3NIBAnBQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Christian County Commission on April 17 read proclamations honoring the Chadwick High School girls and boys basketball teams for winning Missouri state championships and presented laminated proclamations to players and coaches.

The commission asked the girls’ and boys’ teams and coaches to come forward for photos and brief remarks. Jim Pendergrass, introduced as coach of the girls team, thanked the commission: \"Commissioner, thank you for recognizing our team and our community today. Thank you very much.

Both teams received applause from commissioners and visitors and posed together for group photographs in the commission chamber. Commissioners described the event as a celebratory way to begin the meeting and encouraged students and families to share the video of the presentation, which commissioners said is broadcast live on the county’s YouTube channel and archived on the Christian County website.
