# Commission Meeting September 8, 2026

At the September 8, 2026 St. Francois County Commission meeting, members considered several purchases and contract actions. A motion, seconded, proposed awarding the county website RFP to Moss Media for $10,745 plus a stated $375 amount; the transcript does not capture a vote on that motion. The commission approved a sole-source mower-part purchase of $2,459, with total cost capped at $3,800 including shipping. It also approved $32,417.87 in equipment purchases using remaining ARPA funds, which officials said had to be spent by month’s end. Road and Bridge reported that most of a 500-ton salt order had been received. The commission discussed hiring an additional collector’s-office employee, but the transcript does not clearly capture the vote or outcome.

The proposed purchase of two Ford Explorers using funds from the county’s 287(g) agreement was not finalized: commissioners sought confirmation of the seller and state-contract status, and deferred the matter to the next meeting. Sheriff’s vehicle equipment was also left for later review pending exact amounts and purchasing details. Audit bids, which were expected to be opened at this meeting, were not on the agenda; the commission said it would consider awarding them the following week. Members also discussed a public town hall on data centers and the county’s lack of planning and zoning, but no proposal or policy decision was made.
