Commission approves grant paperwork for deputy salary supplement, meth task force and Blue Shield program
Summary
Cole County approved paperwork to accept a deputy sheriff salary supplement (increasing the county's per‑deputy supplement to $3,000), authorized applying to a Missouri methamphetamine relief task force grant, and signed a FY2027 Missouri Blue Shield GRAMA application for $28,985.50.
County staff reviewed multiple grant items at the July 28 meeting. The deputy sheriff salary supplement program was described as an annual grant; the presenter said the supplement increased from $2,000 to $3,000 per POST‑certified deputy and discussed how starting salary figures would be affected. Commissioners discussed effective dates and approved signing the related grant paperwork.
A commissioner moved to sign the Missouri sheriff methamphetamine relief task force grant application so the county could apply and, if accepted, pass the funds to employees; the motion was seconded and approved. Staff also presented the Missouri Blue Shield GRAMA program application for SFY 2027, noting the county previously received $28,985.50, and commissioners authorized signing the application and required exhibits.
Commissioners recorded the approvals by voice vote; staff indicated applications and grant paperwork would proceed to the clerk and relevant departments for execution.
