The Clay County Commission approved routine financial and administrative items on Thursday, including a nine-item consent agenda, payment approvals and an ordinance to reappropriate funds for Sheriff’s Office equipment.

The consent agenda passed on a 6-0 roll call. Administrator staff said the consent package included approval of minutes from the June 5 meeting, Resolution 2025-183 (invoice payments May 31–June 6: 257 invoices totaling $1,434,118.04), adoption of a county road into the system and release of a letter of credit for Northbrook Farms (Resolution 2025-185), a 2025 pavement-marking contract with Heartland Traffic Services (Resolution 2025-192), a copier/printer lease for the Law Enforcement Resource Center with RICO (Resolution 2025-189), a cooperative purchase for hazardous-waste disposal with Heritage Environmental Services (Resolution 2025-194), a Missouri Department of Natural Resources playground scrap-metal grant application (Resolution 2025-190), a memorandum of understanding with North Kansas City School District for a 2025–26 school resource officer (Resolution 2025-193) and an appointment to the opioid settlement oversight committee (Resolution 2025-188).

On the regular agenda the commission approved Resolution 2025-184, four invoices for the Clay County Prosecutor’s Office totaling $3,625.28. Commissioner Thompson recused from that vote; the roll call showed five in favor and one recusal.

The commission also approved Ordinance 2025-15, a budget reappropriation of $39,572 to purchase an ATV, a UTV and a trailer for use at Smithville Lake by the Sheriff’s Office. Captain Amy Agderian, Clay County Sheriff’s Office, said the request uses proceeds from assets sold at auction, including a decommissioned patrol boat, to fund the purchases for lake-area patrols. "Rather than keep that piece of equipment not in service, we are asking to reappropriate the sale of those items to this year's budget so that we can purchase an ATV, a UTV, and the trailer," Captain Agderian said. The ordinance passed 6-0.
