Cole County Commission approves cleaning‑services renewal and data agreements; signs EMS title and votes for closed session
Summary
The commission renewed a cleaning contract, authorized two bidirectional lab data agreements, signed an EMS vehicle title for surplus sale and moved into closed session under Section 610.021 (legal and security).
The Cole County Commission on Feb. 11 approved a renewal of a public‑works janitorial contract, authorized two bidirectional laboratory data agreements and signed the title for an EMS vehicle slated for surplus sale. The commission also voted to go into closed session under Missouri Revised Statutes Section 610.021 to discuss legal and security matters.
Renewal of cleaning contract: The commission approved a first renewal with Classic Cleaning for Public Works janitorial services after staff reported a 4% price increase. Staff said the renewal would make the annual contract total $22,215 and that Public Works and maintenance were satisfied with the vendor’s performance. A commissioner moved to renew the 2024–'25 contract with Classic Cleaning; the motion was seconded and the commission voted in favor.
Bidirectional data agreements: The commission approved two agreements to connect the county’s electronic health record system with laboratory services. Vince (department staff) described a bidirectional integration with Patagonia Health to send orders to and receive results from the lab; the motion to sign the Patagonia Health agreement (monthly subscription referenced as $5,500 with an additional $300 fee in the discussion) was moved and seconded and approved by voice vote.
Commissioners also approved a bidirectional laboratory data agreement with LabCorp. Presentation slides indicated LabCorp would pay setup fees to Patagonia (described in the meeting as a $3,300 setup covered by LabCorp), and commissioners approved a motion to execute the LabCorp agreement; the motion passed by voice vote.
EMS surplus/title: The commission signed the certificate of title to surplus a 2012 Chevrolet Tahoe from the EMS fleet for sale. A commissioner moved to sign the title, a second was recorded and the commission approved the action by voice vote.
Closed session: The commission moved into closed session “pursuant to Section 610.021 of the revised statutes” to discuss legal matters under subsection 1 and security systems under subsection 20; a roll call recorded Sam: Yes, Gary: Yes, Jeff: Yes and the motion carried.
Ending: The actions were taken without recorded roll‑call tallies for the contract and agreement votes other than the closed session motion; commissioners indicated staff will continue implementation steps for the approved agreements and the surplus sale.
