The Platte County Commission’s administrative session, held October 20, 2026 (meeting title: “10.19.2026 Commission Session”), approved agenda and consent-calendar items and set three public hearings to amend the 2026 budget: November 16 (Resolution 2026-066) and December 7 (2026-067) were explicitly approved; a third hearing was proposed for December 21 (2026-068), but its vote is not captured in the transcript. The Commission approved an MOU with Park Hill School District for repayment of senior tax-credit overpayments over three years, with the first third applied as credits to 2027 tax bills. It also adopted an updated personnel policies and procedures manual. Discussion included concerns about employee input and policy language, and prior HR consulting costs: a $60,000 Executive Workforce contract, of which $7,889 was paid, and $3,397 paid to Fine Line Employment Law LLC under a later policy-update contract. The Commission defended the process and approved the manual; the transcript also contains discussion of a Fine Line HR hotline, whose contractual coverage was questioned by a speaker.

Procurement and capital-work actions included approval of a bid request for a short-term repair to the closed Burlington Creek Bridge on the Missouri Riverfront Trail, with bids due November 5, 2026, at 10 a.m.; a longer-term repair plan is still forthcoming. The Commission approved a $194,781.55 change order with Superior Bowen Asphalt Company LLC for trail work, including converting a section from asphalt to concrete, funded by the Parks Capital Maintenance Fund. It also approved a $20,691 change order for a storm-water pipe replacement at 5374 Northwest Heritage Hill Road, funded by the storm-water fund. Public Works received approval for a contract with United Country Heritage Brokers and Auctioneers to auction two salt spreaders and a 2016 Chevrolet Traverse; no contract amount was stated. No procurement decision was made on animal control, though a task force is being assembled to consider solutions and budgets.
