The Clay County Commission approved a five-item consent agenda that included 295 county invoices totaling $972,635.21 and several administrative agreements, and later approved two prosecutor—s-office invoices totaling $896.19 during a short meeting.
County Administrator staff summarized the consent agenda, which the commission approved without discussion. The consent items were: approval of meeting minutes for Sept. 25 and Oct. 2; item 2025322, approval of Clay County invoice payments for the period Oct. 11'0 through Oct. 17; item 2025324, authorization for recycling or disposal of surplus auction items per Chapter 37, Article 7 of the Clay County Code of Ordinances; item 2025325, a vehicle-use agreement between the Clay County Sheriff—s Office and Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company for use in insurance-related criminal investigations; and item 2025326, acceptance of a Missouri Department of Natural Resources financial assistance agreement for playground scrap-tire surface material and signs administered through the parks department. "Move to approve tonight's consent agenda," said Commissioner Wagner; the motion passed in a roll-call vote recorded as 5-0.
The commission then considered regular-agenda item 2025323, approval of invoice payments for the Clay County prosecutor—s office for the Oct. 11'0 through Oct. 17 period. The county administrator reported there were two invoices totaling $896.19. Commissioner Wagner moved to approve the item. Commissioner Thompson recused from the vote; the remaining commissioners voted in favor, and the motion passed with four votes in favor and one recusal.
The county administrator reminded commissioners there would be no meeting next week and that the commission—s next meeting is scheduled for Nov. 6. Commissioners concluded with brief ceremonial remarks and the chair adjourned the meeting.
