Actions included approval of the consent agenda, adoption of an on-call engineers list screened through the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT), authorization to sign an agreement for an electronic time-clock interface with Tyler Technologies, establishment of a 35 mph speed limit posting on Longboro Road, creation of a part-time road supervisor position and permission to sell older county vehicles and other surplus equipment.

The consent agenda was approved after a motion and second; commissioners then moved through individual items that the commission described as efficiency and administrative measures. Commissioners authorized the county to use MoDOT’s screened list of on-call engineering firms so the county can contact prequalified engineers directly in emergencies instead of soliciting separate requests for qualifications.

The commission approved an agreement to import Time Clock Plus attendance data into the county’s Tyler payroll system. Meeting remarks recorded the annual recurring fee as $2,000 and a one-time setup fee referenced variously in the discussion as $830 and later as $8,030; the agreement was approved despite that discrepancy in spoken figures.

A motion to post 35 mph speed limit signs on Longboro Road, following a resident complaint about increased traffic and a cited fatal crash, was approved. The sheriff told the commission that, once signs are posted, his office would be able to enforce the limit and would start with warnings.

County leaders approved creation of a part-time road supervisor position to provide relief for an existing supervisor who has been unable to take time off. Commissioners described the role as nonunion, limited to under 1,000 hours per year and paid $25 per hour without benefits. The commission also granted permission to sell several used or salvage vehicles and other surplus equipment through the county’s chosen disposition process.

Commissioners also approved a motion to apply for a state solid-waste grant (a tire-collection grant), continuing the county’s prior participation in similar programs.

The meeting concluded with the commission setting a schedule reminder: the next regular meeting will fall on Monday, Oct. 6 (agenda items due Friday at 10 a.m.).","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Commission Meeting September 30th 2025","oneSentenceSummary","At its meeting, the St. Francois County Commission approved several routine and operational items by voice vote, including the consent agenda, an on-call engineer list aligned to MoDOT screening, an electronic time-clock interface, a speed limit posting on Longboro Road, a part-time road supervisor position and permission to sell surplus vehicles.","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},6454971,"County creates part-time road supervisor role and hears Road & Bridge operational updates",1389,921000,2310000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5856914-dcfa2878f493278768ee1879ac612505&start=921&end=2310","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5856914-dcfa2878f493278768ee1879ac612505/thumbnail_921000.jpg","/articles/6454971/St-Francois-County/Missouri/County-creates-part-time-road-supervisor-role-and-hears-Road-Bridge-operational-updates","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6454971-3580b6e4978dc1753805c6cc57055c9a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771166532&Signature=kxE~~6bYF8e1EUG44NbXy23W~F0Hq-CGX2LmbSwfY6w5Gbk0Fp-7gjtKj34raoiO37gaCQdVp1Jed~6y-RGBXfyqVUnkYjCHRC5-Srrk9c2OXV11C9vuilQ5zXZj6w0WRmI3dlkKbXSnHZh7ujHAA63-l28zelyQ3PuMSs5-shB7Y~DZyXRRCAhlJQTN4g0xEjKXPw-kbGzsPKgMBOQN91iPsFOkI4cd-ipmXSkSvHtevFHueQfbSuUYe1jdr8TULuZQf3naIy-UJ~c5Ro~NCpGS5mh5wJvfU2h1htKXJMWgcjrA6~cjftohdNTbRWMuDPquf17djKzFHZYS6PTBOQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The commission approved creation of a part-time supervisor position for the Road & Bridge department to provide relief for an existing supervisor who has been unable to take time off. Commissioners described the role as paying $25 per hour, nonunion, limited to fewer than 1,000 hours annually and without benefits.

In discussion, commissioners framed the part-time role as an interim alternative to budgeting a second full-time supervisor next year. The motion passed by voice vote and staff were instructed to post the position and define grade and job description.

Road & Bridge staff reported several operational items: a bridge project was delayed by recent rains and ponding where base material was placed, which pushed paving and guardrail work back about a week or more. Staff said they built a stainless-steel cab cover for a bucket truck in-house to lower costs; the in-house fabrication was presented as a substantial saving compared with factory options. Staff also outlined ditch work, pipe replacements and clearing projects underway across multiple county roads.

Staff reported in-house repairs on multiple vehicles saved the county approximately $19,006.19 in labor and parts compared with outsourcing, and noted insurance savings from removing vehicles from the fleet. Commissioners thanked Road & Bridge staff for the reported efficiencies and asked for follow-up on timelines for the bridge project and for the posting of the new position.","Commissioners approved a part-time supervisor position for the Road & Bridge department, described as nonunion, under 1,000 hours per year and paid $25 per hour with no benefits.

The resident's concern, cited by a commissioner, referenced traffic shifts after state highway construction and recalled a recent fatal crash in August in which an 18-year-old motorcyclist died.

At the meeting the sheriff said: \"If it's posted, it's 35. We get it posted. We'll be able to enforce that,\" and indicated the office would begin enforcement primarily with warnings to allow the public time to adjust. Commissioners discussed where the postings should start and noted the signage would be implemented for the portion of Longboro Road beginning near the sewage treatment plant and covering the defined segment discussed on the map shown at the meeting.

A motion to install signage and permit enforcement passed by voice vote. Staff directed the Road & Bridge department to place signs and coordinate with the sheriff's office on enforcement timing. Commissioners said posting the limit would make enforcement feasible and requested initial public education and warning enforcement before issuing citations.","Following a resident complaint about increased traffic and the commission's review of recent incidents, St. Francois County commissioners approved posting 35 mph speed limit signs on the specified portion of Longboro Road; the sheriff said enforcement would begin with warnings once signage is installed.",{"_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},6454980,"Commission hears GovDeals pitch as county approves sale of surplus vehicles",1646,110000,1756000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5856914-dcfa2878f493278768ee1879ac612505&start=110&end=1756","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5856914-dcfa2878f493278768ee1879ac612505/thumbnail_110000.jpg","/articles/6454980/St-Francois-County/Missouri/Commission-hears-GovDeals-pitch-as-county-approves-sale-of-surplus-vehicles","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6454980-9390632281aacc0001952a248b516dfb/orig.mp4?Expires=1771166532&Signature=Y3Gq40wDut3ZzNEss~05v8zM0YRsoAAfddCH-kvXN~AJW45uoXlhJ~crJAl3vJM7MF3cxtGNWg8BFAGxwYrydS~1vKDpfBg~QWrw4zEHuWvqwvKCLPfqxs6iK1fdqVaiZBTMhjg8qK7rj~~a6qgdQu3-57IqfBaVqzTpaRh-H6-sRxCj5mb-wETlngC5QwCpWGTjDolOVNWKRdC1sUiFPWqHFUQALaDGBMcW3-lz~Uv3LA10AzE2m7sfUajx35XS7soY5ffu0-jtrfTJ8htJ8NgiGM8wVzlWxxtbrqrvH3QEE2b-K7NFY6E171ceMmgh~eLqVolDYfX1f58IvbnELA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Carrie Welch, a representative of GovDeals, told the commission GovDeals operates like \"eBay for government agencies\" and contrasted its platform to Purple Wave, saying GovDeals allows reserve pricing and an \"approval sale\" option that keeps taxpayers from absorbing seller fees. Welch said GovDeals charges winning bidders rather than the taxing public and that the platform provides audit trails and date-time stamps to support compliance: \"we don't charge your taxpayers a dime for our services.\" She also said GovDeals will accept a wide variety of assets, from rolling stock to unusual items.

Commission discussion following the presentation concerned the county's recent use of Purple Wave, title handling for vehicles and the condition of several units identified for disposal. Road and Bridge staff described multiple surplus and salvage vehicles, including Crown Victorias and Explorers with high mileage and some nonrunning units. Staff estimated insurance savings from removing vehicles from the county fleet and said in-house repairs saved the county money on multiple vehicles.

The commission voted to authorize the sale of identified surplus vehicles and equipment. Staff said tagged items will have inventory tags removed and be prepared for auction; the county will consider both Purple Wave and GovDeals options for disposition. A county staff member noted previous bids produced varied sale prices on similar units.

The commission did not adopt any new policy on which auction vendor to use; staff will proceed with preparations and follow county procedures for surplus disposition.","A GovDeals representative described platform features and differences from Purple Wave.

At the meeting the sheriff recognized the 24th anniversary of Deputy Steven Ziegler's line-of-duty death and asked for continued remembrance of his family; the sheriff said Ziegler was 32 and had served nine years with the office.

Road & Bridge staff provided a detailed operations report. Staff said recent rains delayed a bridge project by roughly a week to a week and a half because base material ponded and contractors had to cut new drains; guardrail and paving work remain to be completed. The department outlined ditching, pipe replacement, tree and brush clearing and other maintenance across several county roads. Staff highlighted an in-house fabrication of a stainless-steel cab cover for a bucket truck as a cost-saving measure and reported that in-house repairs on seven vehicles saved an estimated $19,006.19 compared with outsourcing.
