Delaware County commissioners approve claims, purchase orders and surplus items; burn ban remains in effect
Summary
At its March 3 meeting the county board approved routine claims including a $363,449 emergency-equipment invoice, issued a $3,998 purchase order for command-trailer changes, approved equipment surplus and transfers, received monthly reports, and left a county burn ban in place after fire officials warned continued risk.
The Delaware County Board of Commissioners on March 3 approved routine county business, including payment of claims across multiple funds, transfer and surplus declarations, and a purchase order related to a command trailer.
Among the claims approved were multiple line items from county departments; the minutes list a $363,449.00 invoice to Missouri Great Dane/Total Trailers for emergency equipment and a $11,197.75 charge to Turn Key Health Clinics. The board also approved an additional purchase order of $3,998 to cover change-order work on a command trailer after staff explained the change order could not be added to the original purchase order.
The board received and filed monthly reports from the Health Department, County Clerk and Treasurer. The County Clerk’s equipment transfers and surplus lists — including multiple plat cabinets, shelf units and book cases — were approved by roll call.
Emergency-management and local fire personnel advised the board that, despite a small amount of recent rain, wind conditions continue to produce elevated fire danger. The board took no new action and left the existing county-wide burn ban in place.
Human Resources Director Vicki Cossairt briefed commissioners on a recent TB case detected at Commerce Schools and reported several employee illnesses (COVID, pneumonia, bronchitis). Cossairt also said harassment and hostile-work-environment claims have decreased but reminded elected officials it is not permissible to settle workplace disputes informally.
Administrative motions (minutes approval, claims, reports, surplus items, replat approvals and Form 969 filing for state property-tax exemptions) were recorded as passed by roll call.
