Stevie, representing Show Me Christian County, had attended the meeting but commissioners said they had not received sufficient documentation or demonstrable success metrics to justify the expense in the current year. \"I would pocket that money and save it for a future opportunity,\" one commissioner said after reviewing the packet materials.

Commissioners noted the county has no marketing budget for 2025 and expressed interest in seeing more evidence that previous campaigns produced measurable local benefits. The presiding commissioner said he would inform the show's producers the county would not participate in 2025 and thanked the volunteers who had worked on the proposal.

The commission approved a campus project change order (listed as change order 0106) for $67,992.36, described in the meeting as roughly 3.9 percent of the related contract. Great River Engineering's David Lutz explained the largest item was required after the roadway approach to Jackson Street was redesigned to meet City of Ozark street standards; lowering the approach reduced cover over a large 12-inch water main and the city requested installation of an 18-inch steel casing across the full roadway width so the main could be routed beneath the approach. The work will require nighttime construction and traffic/watch details.

\"It required us to lower the roadway,\" David Lutz said, describing how the existing temporary roadway did not meet city design standards. Commissioners pressed staff on when the discrepancy was discovered and whether alternatives had been explored. Lutz said the 18-inch casing was a city requirement and not an obvious cost-avoidance alternative.

The commission also approved a building contractor (DeWitt) change order of $37,031, described as 1.4 percent of that contract. That change included time-related costs tied to weather and rock breaking, minor sidewalk and downspout adjustments (credits applied), and a requirement to locate a backflow preventer outside the structure in a below-grade concrete vault to satisfy the City of Ozark's code. County staff said the county had used its own plan review and inspections but was reliant on the city to turn on water service, which created the need to meet the city's code at this connection.

A separate maintenance change order to replace a warped, non-gas-tight manhole cover in the jail service bay was approved for $12,000; the work includes installing a bolt-down, gas-tight precast concrete slab recessed to remove a trip hazard and was described by staff as not requiring jackhammering of limestone, keeping the project under budget overall.

Commissioners voiced frustration that city and county standards differed on elements such as backflow locations and roadway approach details and urged a meeting between county and city planning and development staff or elected officials to align expectations on future projects. \"I think we need to have a meeting of people between the city and the county,\" Presiding Commissioner Lemon Morris said.

Each change order was approved by motion and voice vote.","The commission approved a $67,992.36 campus change order, a $37,031 building change order and a $12,000 maintenance change for a jail manhole cover; officials pressed for improved coordination with the City of Ozark to avoid future costs.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6226875,"Christian County selects Guaranty Bank for depository contract, treasurer cites higher interest revenue",936,2024000,2960000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3503784-9a5c5f4a0ba71f6cc593313f6c6235c9&start=2024&end=2960","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3503784-9a5c5f4a0ba71f6cc593313f6c6235c9/thumbnail_2024000.jpg","/articles/6226875/Christian-County/Missouri/Christian-County-selects-Guaranty-Bank-for-depository-contract-treasurer-cites-higher-interest-revenue","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6226875-e689238447e7b1203f3b8ec041435fc7/orig.mp4?Expires=1771097360&Signature=fc4FxzYUiBD0HNj-vdHefeY2ZHnC7ilz46wi5ASFfUKy1Wgk5GDyz01T5xL5Y6Ygh4l9Q6vQTsEYKA8UayPxD0JljPCit80w-RLpv68vPZlY5Jq2DjedKjyXrQyWnHJiLLgtOA-y~jtDjgdMCXfnBDiKGRc1frfgsHIn2K1alveFb-7yDc8QgEgjlXAo06pQzAyzmmniMKmm-JkesYE2yPzIVsW-AOPqqmqJo0n1cHL~sBez7m38j2HT5TO3tyL4tAX-60VvRaVUGCirSAvq8JpvQPHl1mU4xn58qi1Id8fNwwCl3-EVGwdoaIATlhqHqZD2EzbE2dRU34VcBUVQFw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Christian County Commissioners voted to award the county's banking depository contract to Guaranty Bank, with the contract to take effect July 1 and run through June 20, 2029.

The decision followed a procurement process led by the county purchasing manager and an evaluation committee that scored bids on cost (70 percent) and non-cost factors (30 percent). Treasurer Blue told commissioners the committee found Guaranty Bank's interest formula would yield materially higher earnings for county funds than Ozark Bank's proposal.

\"This came down to dollars,\" Treasurer Blue said during the meeting. She and other officeholders reported the likely yield difference at the time bids were received: about 4.45 percent under Guaranty's formula versus about 3.31 percent for Ozark's, producing a countywide interest difference the treasurer estimated at roughly $150,000 based on last year's balances.

The purchasing manager told the commission that six banks attended the pre-proposal conference and two formal proposals were received. The evaluation committee recommended Guaranty Bank after reference checks and scoring. Missouri statute 110.130 was cited at the meeting as the authority requiring the county to solicit proposals for depository services at periodic intervals; the transcript text referenced that statute by number.

Commissioners acknowledged the convenience loss of switching from the longtime local provider, Ozark Bank, which has served the county for more than 36 years. \"Nothing's more convenient than walking across the street,\" one commissioner said, while Treasurer Blue and other officials said Guaranty offered a courier service as part of its proposal to handle daily deposits and reduce staff handling of cash.

Guaranty Bank representatives Whitney Morrow, executive vice president of treasury management, and Kelly Warren, assistant vice president of treasury management, attended the meeting and answered procedural questions. Commissioners and elected officeholders thanked Ozark Bank for its decades of service.

The commission approved RFP 2025-4 Banking Depository Services by motion and unanimous voice vote.

Officials said county offices will finalize operational details, including the courier schedule, before the July 1 transition.","The Christian County Commission voted to award the county's four-year bank depository contract to Guaranty Bank, a change driven by a higher interest formula; officials said a courier service will mitigate convenience concerns from switching away from the longtime incumbent, Ozark Bank.","actionData","errors"]
