Commission approves environmental task order and routine invoices; prosecutor invoices passed with one recusal
Summary
Commission approved a Burns & McDonnell task order for groundwater plume stability monitoring (with partial insurance reimbursement expected), approved routine county invoices and prosecutor office invoices (the latter passed with one recusal), and approved purchase of two variable message boards under the consent agenda.
The Clay County Commission approved several fiscal and contract items Tuesday, including a task order for environmental monitoring at the airport south property and routine invoice approvals under the consent agenda.
Facilities Director Donna Kuntz asked commissioners to approve a task order with Burns & McDonnell for a plume stability study covering 12 monitoring wells at the airport south property. The work is intended to demonstrate stability over five quarters; if the data show stability, the county could close the long‑running monitoring requirement with the Missouri Department of Natural Resources. Kuntz said the total task order is $92,981 and noted the county’s Petroleum Storage Tank Insurance Fund may reimburse up to 75% of eligible costs upon final invoicing.
The consent agenda, approved earlier, included 184 county invoices totaling $3,245,725.54 for Jan. 24–30; a payment of $91,280 to the University of Missouri Extension for 2026 (cited administratively under RSMo. § 262.597); and a $29,451.41 quote approval to purchase two variable message boards from AllTraffic Solutions, Inc.
Commissioners also approved 10 invoices for the Clay County Prosecutor’s Office totaling $1,923.47. Commissioner Thompson recused himself from that vote; the remainder of the board approved the prosecutor invoices by roll call.
The Burns & McDonnell task order drew no opposition and passed 6–0; Kuntz said prior restrictive covenants and coordination with state regulators underlie the continuing monitoring effort.
