At the October 8, 2026 Clay County Commission business session, commissioners approved the consent agenda 6–0, including invoices totaling $1,319,463.95; renewal of the county’s ESRI small-government GIS and mapping agreement for three years at $90,300 per year; flooring products and services through cooperative agreement No. 061323; and tourism marketing services from Marketing Overflow LLC and Viral Video Marketing LLC. The commission also approved Prosecutor’s Office invoice payments under item 2026-272, with five votes in favor and one recusal. A proposal to install four directional signs for Smithville Lake was discussed at $1,750 per sign plus $700 annually for MoDOT right-of-way fees. Commissioners questioned the cost and considered waiting for the parks master plan, but the transcript does not capture a clear final vote on the sign proposal. The commission approved a county fee schedule; discussion included proposed parks and marina fee increases and further review of road-and-bridge right-of-way utility fees with Clay Electric Co-op.

The commission approved Ordinance 2026-15 6–0, adopting the 2018 residential, building, fire, plumbing, mechanical, and existing-building codes and the 2017 National Electrical Code. A proposed amendment to add the 2018 residential energy code was not incorporated into the ordinance as passed. Discussion focused on construction costs, energy efficiency, safety, and potential effects on homebuilding. The administrator also reported continued testing and work related to the SP190 renewal, with a future update planned. The transcript does not identify a clear vote tally on the amendment or signage item.
