Commission approves coroner agreement, applies for energy grant and OKs Sand Creek bridge payment
Summary
At the meeting commissioners approved an updated agreement with the coroner's office, passed a resolution to apply for a Missouri energy efficiency and conservation grant for the Weather Road facility, and approved payment to Brock Miller Construction for extra piling at Sand Creek Bridge; routine monthly reports were also accepted.
The St. Francois County Commission approved several routine and project‑specific items during the meeting, including an agreement with the coroner, a grant application for facility improvements, and a payment related to bridge work.
Coroner agreement: The commission voted to approve an updated agreement between St. Francois County and the coroner. The change noted in the meeting record included moving a phone within the coroner’s office and an on‑the‑record acknowledgment that the office now has two deputy coroners. The motion passed by voice vote.
Missouri Efficiency and Conservation Grant resolution: The commission approved a resolution to apply for a Missouri Efficiency and Conservation grant to install a new roof and solar panels at the Weather Road facility. County staff said the application requested approximately $217,000; staff also noted the grant program can award up to $500,000 and that no local match was required for this application. The resolution passed by voice vote.
Sand Creek Bridge additional piling payment: The commission approved payment to Brock Miller Construction for additional piling work on the Sand Creek Bridge. Staff said the extra piling became necessary because crews encountered rock on site, which the state would not pay for; county staff indicated the expense will be charged to the road/bridge fund. The meeting record shows the motion approved an amount described in discussion as about $12,916.80; county staff identified the road/bridge fund as the payment source and the motion carried.
Routine items: The commission accepted a monthly report from the recorder/recorder of deeds office and approved the consent agenda earlier in the meeting, both by voice vote.
Ending: Commissioners and staff said several of these approvals were routine and that the grant application and project payments will proceed through normal contracting and implementation channels.
