Platte County approves ARPA change orders for courthouse security and restoration
Summary
Platte County commissioners unanimously approved two ARPA-funded change orders on March 23 to add building access fobs and upgrade judges’ panic buttons and to repair historic courthouse brickwork; the second order covered a $4,000 repair, and both motions passed 3-0.
Platte County commissioners on March 23 unanimously approved two change orders funded through the American Rescue Plan Act to strengthen courthouse security and to repair historic brickwork in the courthouse.
County Administrator Wes Minder presented the first item, described in the record as commission order 2026CO002, as "a change order with CML Security," saying the work covers "additional, entryway security fobs that were requested in the admin building, plus some upgrades to judge's panic buttons in the courthouse." Commissioner Parker moved approval; Commissioner Burrows seconded. The clerk called the roll and the motion carried 3-0.
Minder then described a second change order, 2026CO003, with MTS Contracting, a restoration contractor. He said workers discovered a loose capstone and an arch from an original window that had fallen during exposure and electrical upgrades tied to jury assembly room work; the county presented a $4,000 change order to perform the repair. Commissioner Burrows moved approval and the motion was seconded; roll call again recorded unanimous support and the motion carried 3-0.
The meeting record includes the motion language referencing the parties involved; at one point the spoken record refers to "Pike County" in the motion text. The meeting was conducted by the Platte County Commission; the transcript appears to contain that name variation and the county clerk or minutes should clarify whether that was a transcription or motion-text error.
Both items were introduced as ARPA-funded. The record does not specify a dollar amount for the CML Security change order. After the votes, commissioners thanked the county administrator and adjourned the meeting at 11:01 a.m.
