County staff explained the assessor's office had been used as a network closet with patch panels, DVRs, switches and battery backups that generate noise and heat. Staff said a network closet had been installed previously in the Carnegie Building's maintenance room and that moving the assessor's runs would require approximately 19 cable runs at a quoted cost of $7,320.

Commissioners discussed whether the county maintenance crew could perform the work, but staff noted Meyer Electric was already under contract with the county and could perform the wiring. A commissioner moved to engage Meyer Electric under the county contract; the motion passed on a voice vote.

Staff said the assessor's office had been affected by continuous noise and heat from the equipment and that relocating the hardware to the maintenance-room network closet would also consolidate infrastructure used for county services.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","09-23-2025 Cole County Commission Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","County commissioners approved engaging Meyer Electric to move the assessor's office network closet and re-run 19 cable runs at an estimated cost of $7,320, county staff said, citing noise, heat and operational disruption in the assessor's workspace.","taxTitle","Cole County, Missouri","taxId",65809,"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},6483013,"Cole County approves payout of surplus funds from two tax sales, including case linked to veteran assistance",139,1609000,1748000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5823901-d3825d4b9fb8e8e7282bb08a87c1726c&start=1609&end=1748","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5823901-d3825d4b9fb8e8e7282bb08a87c1726c/thumbnail_1609000.jpg","/articles/6483013/Cole-County/Missouri/Cole-County-approves-payout-of-surplus-funds-from-two-tax-sales-including-case-linked-to-veteran-assistance","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6483013-e5e4846cd6d2baa01f92f4838cbc84f8/orig.mp4?Expires=1774861547&Signature=OOSx9UXuUN8HieNIJYzBqa8wybtDz3u4BUrLG6-whl79wrx4noWyPYlGU1037GoiTH9okXyK-M9jRK-QzW8jbZApbQ26ogHEGe7mEzqIetAcIPmuSgHbzhoLGgA11cAd-svYp2mbcUAcJcLe9o0Ez6y8PtElPXA4jUPfJFks6mcdzIAI1q5iObK--OYXNq~~fxAeF9WRCmeQeto2C39bOPnvPm-h3Zz5v2QozJrlp-RqpdCb4BvAxLooJzfNedbZPXF4IU1P4620DkH~3sC2UPHxMhFicDiYZ3~JR92QprOimpO8gBInmFCMkbhq4WyXiivm~sf1GDAhZxbw959-Jw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Cole County commissioners voted Sept. 23 to authorize the treasurer to release surplus funds from two tax-sale matters after staff verification.

County staff presented two requests: one for a property at 1510 La Ciena Court with $47,006.46 in excess proceeds, and another at 1115 Winston Court with $40,002.33. Staff asked the commission to direct the treasurer to transfer the funds to the collector's office so checks could be issued.

Staff said one case involved a previous owner with severe post-traumatic stress disorder who had been able to remain in the house while the current owner had cooperated; staff reported coordination with the Marine Corps League and contacts at the Department of Veterans Affairs to assist the owner. The speaker identified outreach and casework that helped the affected individual, but did not claim the county would provide new ongoing services beyond the fund release.

Commissioners confirmed staff had reviewed documentation and asked that the payments be made by address if parcel numbers were not available on the paperwork. A motion to release the surplus funds for the two addresses passed on a voice vote.

Staff noted one redemption had been filed Aug. 25 and that in that instance the claimant was entitled to the surplus under existing procedures; the commission approved both releases and directed the treasurer and collector to process the checks.","The commission authorized the treasurer to release two surplus amounts from tax sales — roughly $47,006.46 and $40,002.33 — for properties at 1510 La Ciena Court and 1115 Winston Court, citing documentation from claimants and staff verification.",{"_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},6483018,"Cole County approves DevNet contract to add automated appraisal tools",427,197000,624000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5823901-d3825d4b9fb8e8e7282bb08a87c1726c&start=197&end=624","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5823901-d3825d4b9fb8e8e7282bb08a87c1726c/thumbnail_197000.jpg","/articles/6483018/Cole-County/Missouri/Cole-County-approves-DevNet-contract-to-add-automated-appraisal-tools","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6483018-0ef926d8395db1a8a919d5ec3686b1ae/orig.mp4?Expires=1774861547&Signature=S2W-7Er6SwtqmUC1m~L0xkJxq~kTjLDSE1QV6QbRzhY82v3b7Dui6sYhDfFop9aVTAw0l63lB6R6R73zdxJjGqcXsC7Il~ly6rFS3po7orz3FAxloSNHOHPeV0IO1DJJR7AM635sUdfNVyW1X6v9QbhQF2fiZ1~b7uANFqZhD4UMokrIQQALM7Qw4EDc4fdqNNS0FeU6EyI8nEYRXfiSSTn-HbVkgIm8ag0sJW9XEDPVs4FRSNWbZdTXZE4awJA8RV7Q3kzBXw0XnnyQzMAxzyryeCodHk2YkR3x6vVJ5PoSPSJDczvogydvEcMl6Tl5tm8cx8fUDTMUmIko9KVd0g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Cole County Commission on Sept. 23 approved a contract with DevNet to add a Computer Assisted Mass Appraisal (CAMA) module and camera/pricing tool to the county assessor's valuation system, a staff member said.

County staff said the tool will allow the assessor's office to program automated searches for comparable sales, apply standard adjustments for square footage, car storage and lot size, and produce mass valuations more efficiently. The commission approved the contract at a discounted price of $7,522.20.

The assessor's office told commissioners its current confirmed comparable-sales database contained just 180 sales as of August 2025, which staff characterized as a small sample for countywide valuation. The office said Missouri has no statewide certificate-of-value requirement that would otherwise force disclosure of sale prices, so the assessor relies on questionnaires and historical sales data going back to 2021\u001324 to expand the comparables pool.

Commissioners asked how many sales the assessor receives voluntarily; staff estimated the office is capturing roughly 5% to 10% of annual residential transactions and said the office is revising its questionnaire to make responses easier for sellers and buyers.

Commissioner Tim asked for clarification of the CAMA acronym. County staff responded that CAMA stands for Computer Assisted Mass Appraisal. Jill, a county staff member, confirmed she had reviewed the contract paperwork.

A commissioner moved to approve and execute the DevNet contract; the motion passed on a voice vote.

County staff said the tool would supplement existing cost and income approaches already used by the assessor and described the purchase as a step toward streamlining valuations but did not claim the new system would resolve the county's limited voluntary reporting of sale prices.

The approved contract price and the assessor's description of the limited comparable-sales database were included in materials presented to commissioners during the meeting.

The county will proceed with implementation steps consistent with the assessor's instructions to DevNet.","The Cole County Commission approved a contract with DevNet to add Computer Assisted Mass Appraisal (CAMA) functionality, authorizing a $7,522.20 purchase that county staff said will expand the assessor's ability to generate mass property valuations using sales-comparison, cost and income approaches.",{"_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},6482997,"Cole County Commission actions: contracts, bids and executive session — Sept. 23, 2025",2059,137000,2196000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5823901-d3825d4b9fb8e8e7282bb08a87c1726c&start=137&end=2196","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5823901-d3825d4b9fb8e8e7282bb08a87c1726c/thumbnail_137000.jpg","/articles/6482997/Cole-County/Missouri/Cole-County-Commission-actions-contracts-bids-and-executive-session-Sept-23-2025","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6482997-d054c09aaa2b43e4a975bb1763a386e8/orig.mp4?Expires=1774861547&Signature=jnwgdcDyAhTDlQv691eEyAvGr2AAXBLh7IB2f8GTabgQyGr0gQ8ZzO2ReOopHd-z3rWMbNi7NQNOevtU-AnGFJWq9dfqG0RnyWR~vQeVatpPsE8oIC0C11iP6PEgGyLJ6OPGsI8Mqw~CG12FR8GkSabimPMnLMiHiLTP7b5UqDT9eNMSZZk2ikyF0LARaEiZH0KBJ6MPu7BUCFxtAcRK7xJngVrbHDnU9LR-jhp5oQZo6FPMMLkXDUkKTwfIL0N~80KvSjUlHEZmkjv7K6UFu7qUDno7WBnX8KBsTW3SoAOjwiln7NkIpKn9hjBJ1kXX0zPxdK-jiv3Fjw3dOcBNdA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Cole County Commission on Sept. 23 took the following formal actions, each approved by voice votes unless otherwise noted.

Details and context

Several items saw brief staff presentations and limited commissioner questions before approval. The maternal-child health contract renewal and DevNet contract drew the most detailed staff explanation (DevNet discussion included the assessor's limited comparable-sales database). The EMS collection contract award included specific fee percentages in staff recommendation; staff said RTR Financial Services had a contract prepared.

For the janitorial bids, commissioners discussed rejecting the bids because of pricing and a single problem location; staff said an RFP for public-works-only cleaning would be posted and that the current provider had indicated some flexibility during the transition.

The meeting concluded with a motion to move into executive session on personnel matters under RSMo §610.021(13).","At its Sept. 23 meeting the Cole County Commission approved multiple contracts and procurements, awarded an EMS collection-services contract, waived permit fees for a housing upgrade resolution, rejected janitorial bids, and entered executive session for personnel matters under RSMo §610.021(13).",{"_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},6483004,"Commission approves emergency door replacement at Pringer Juvenile Center after safety concerns",198,940000,1138000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5823901-d3825d4b9fb8e8e7282bb08a87c1726c&start=940&end=1138","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5823901-d3825d4b9fb8e8e7282bb08a87c1726c/thumbnail_940000.jpg","/articles/6483004/Cole-County/Missouri/Commission-approves-emergency-door-replacement-at-Pringer-Juvenile-Center-after-safety-concerns","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6483004-b7fc0a458ce0f05968f521aaefd3ee4c/orig.mp4?Expires=1774861547&Signature=arR11a6uD1Z1kMF3SUaU8of6atA1wSfCrfaquYUC5z02~IAL011-olRYP186-RjYkuj~-vr7SPzQneH~6X7MSXcmczOJlzRcMBGJTxOU4A3S5knIJ8XpyHXSOxDV1O0j8fgPwj4GXgLsMQLxyhwYhqkfXT~8A0Ru1GXh~HSJR4bnKMmn40dTR14SnHGoIYNAulUm3EnJIFpYxuHs63mjrlZjg2C3QSKOCxDl818i7jpyOHOTKBvVDgWUu8DmtxPaqxigZ~xfkpJk5lkgq5F9tsNgSUD02Ah-ra~r1NiFPJVqTV5vFD3GUymlHiVHp7aQRaM1syzTRYfWDb5VqW8SLQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Cole County Commission on Sept. 23 approved an emergency purchase to replace a deficient exterior door at the Pringer Juvenile Center after staff described the existing door and jam as severely deteriorated.

Staff said the door dated to the building's 1993 construction and that internal inspection found the jamb and components in poor condition. Because one contractor proposal carried a 10-month lead time, staff said the county procured the door as an emergency to expedite replacement.

A speaker identified the vendor and a quoted install arrangement that included $3,750 for labor and a roughly $1,750 materials cost; one commissioner questioned why the county maintenance crew could not install the door for less and said the labor price was three times what the material cost would suggest. The speaker said the door and installation were already approved as an emergency procurement and presented the motion for commission ratification.

A motion to approve the emergency purchase from Superior Opening (vendor referenced in materials) passed on a voice vote.

Commissioners directed staff to proceed with the installation; one commissioner asked that the county examine whether future similar work could be performed by county maintenance to reduce recurring contractor labor costs.","The commission approved an emergency purchase to replace a failing door at the Pringer Juvenile Center following staff testimony that the existing door and frame were dysfunctional; one commissioner expressed frustration about contractor labor costs versus using the county maintenance crew.","actionData","errors"]
