-Commission Minutes-
The Nodaway County Commission met in regular session Friday, April 28. In attendance were Presiding Commissioner Bill Walker, North District Commissioner Chris Burns, South District Commissioner Robert Stiens and Interim County Clerk Lorraine O’Donnell.
Business before the commission included:
• The drafting of a letter of recommendation in support of Melinda Patton, Maryville, to serve as county clerk, an office that became vacant following the sudden resignation of Karen Leader last month.
Leader’s successor is to be appointed by Gov. Eric Greitens.
Presiding Commissioner Bill Walker said in recommending that Greitens choose Patton, the governing board was seconding the leading choice of the Nodaway County Republican Central Committee.
Walker said the committee met April 20 and decided to send three names on to the governor’s office for consideration. The other two nominees are Karen Giesken of Maryville and Kathy DeVault of Graham.
Though all three applicants were accepted for recommendation by the committee, Patton received a majority of the dozen or so votes cast.
Since county clerkships in Missouri are considered partisan offices, it would be extremely unusual for Greitens, a Republican, not to appoint someone from his own party. However, the governor is under no obligation to abide by the Central Committee’s choice or the commission’s recommendation.
Whoever the governor chooses will serve until January, 2019, and would have to run for office in their own right during the Nov. 2018 general election in order to win a full four-year term.
• Submission by Missouri Department of Transportation officials of federally required inspection reports for all county-owned bridges more than 20 feet long. The MoDOT-conducted inspections take place every two years. Eighty-seven percent of Nodaway’s bridges were listed in fair to excellent condition.
• A meeting with Kenny Frueh of Union Township with regard to road conditions in Union Township.
• Commission approval of a credit application required for the Sheriff’s Office to open an account at Service Lube.
• A request for bids from contractors interested in repairing sandstone surfaces at the courthouse. Sealed bids are to be opened at the Nodaway County Administration Center at 8:30 a.m. on Friday, June 2.
