8-11-2026 Cole County Commission Meeting

The Cole County Commission meeting on August 11, 2026, included approval of a $15,000 State of Missouri Office of State Courts Administration award for the Domestic Relations Resolution Fund. The funding will help defendants sentenced to the domestic violence docket pay part of the cost of assessments and batterer intervention programming; the county will not cover costs beyond the award. The commission also held the first reading of Budget Adjustment No. 6 related to the $15,000. The commission discussed approval and signing of the FY 2025 Emergency Management Performance Grant subrecipient agreement, which reimburses 50% of eligible salaries for the period July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, with the county’s match coming from its existing salary fund.

The commission approved a no-cost clinical training agreement with Johnson County Ambulance District for a paramedic student. No accounts payable items were reviewed; a payment related to juvenile building construction with a vendor transcribed as “Navels” was expected to be handled in a later check run. The assessor’s office also announced field work for the 2027 countywide residential reassessment. No other procurement decisions or contract amounts were stated.
