Commission approves routine administrative items: consent agenda, contract renewals, vehicle purchase and election grant application
Summary
The commission approved several administrative items: consent agenda; permission to renew Brad Ross’s geological appraisal contract at $250 per hour; assessor authorization to purchase a 2021 Ford Explorer (state surplus) for approximately $30,000; and permission for the county clerk to apply for a 2025 election grant of $9,698.86.
St. Francois County commissioners approved multiple routine administrative requests during the meeting, recording motions and affirmative votes on each item.
The consent agenda was approved early in the meeting. Commissioners then granted permission to renew a contract for geological professional services with Brad Ross at a rate cited as $250 per hour plus travel expenses; staff said his time is shared with other counties to reduce per‑county cost.
The commission approved the assessor’s request to purchase a used 2021 Ford Explorer from state surplus for about $30,000 to replace a 2009 county vehicle; staff said the purchase was budgeted. Commissioners discussed possible interdepartmental uses for the vehicle if the assessor’s office later surpluses it.
The county clerk received authorization to apply for a 2025 elections grant for $9,698.86; staff confirmed the award requires no local match. Each motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
