# Commission Meeting October 27, 2026

The St. Francois County Commission meeting on October 27, 2026, included several procurement and spending matters. Commissioners approved a three-year agreement with Auto Agent to add online payment options through the collector’s office, including e-check payments; the change was described as having no cost to the county and lowering payment fees for taxpayers. They also approved offering employees a voluntary health-management benefit through First State Insurance, with no county cost. Parks staff requested uniform funding for the 2027 budget at $300 per employee ($600 for the two current employees); a motion was made, but the transcript does not clearly capture the vote outcome.

The commission discussed a proposed contract with Cochran for $85,043.13 to oversee construction of the first phase of the Flat River Road TAP grant sidewalk project, from Farmington city limits toward Hunt Road; the transcript records a motion but does not clearly capture the vote. Commissioners also approved the Road and Bridge contract, though no amount or vendor details are audible. Separately, the county reported that it is considering outsourcing Sunshine Law request processing for about $1,000 per month; no award or approval was made, and further information was expected. The meeting also included routine department updates, with no other clear procurement decisions identified.
