# Commission Meeting September 29, 2026

The St. Francois County Commission meeting on September 29, 2026, approved an effective date of September 19 for an existing prosecuting-attorney salary adjustment, authorized filling a vacancy in the assessor’s office, and approved a new substance use counselor classification at grade six. It also approved a pay rate of $22.25 per hour for a licensed peer-support employee taking on additional responsibilities. Officials said the increase is funded through the ARSAP program, with funding approved through approximately August 2028, and would not affect the county budget while the grant remains available.

Public works reported pavement repairs connected to the MTL gas project, county road paving and pipe work, and overlay projects. A contractor had completed work on Old Frederick Town Road, and another overlay project was reported on Berry Road; no contract values were stated. During public comment, a resident asked the county to consider a one-year moratorium on data centers and avoid nondisclosure agreements with prospective developers, citing infrastructure, water, utility, and community concerns. No commission action on those requests was recorded.
