I attended the November 5, 2026, Camden County Commission meeting at 10:00 a.m.
All commissioners were present.
The minutes from the previous meeting were amended to reflect that Commissioner Dougan had voted “No” on the motion to prepare an RFQ for applications for a county land trustee.
The first agenda item was “Board Reappointments.”
Don Campbell was unanimously reappointed to the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Eric Folks was unanimously reappointed to the Wastewater Variance Board.
The second agenda item was “P&Z Commission Member Removal – Jordan Webb.”
Webb was unanimously removed from the Planning and Zoning Commission because he had only attended a few meetings.
The third agenda item was “2026 Whitetail Event Contract with Sheriff’s Office.”
This item was removed from the agenda at the request of the Sheriff’s Office.
The final agenda item was “October 2026 Budget/Revenue Update.”
The County Treasurer presented the Cash Summary Report for October 2026 to the Commission.
The Treasurer confirmed that Camden County’s reserves have not been touched and they still remain in their CD’s. The Treasurer did move some money into a 30 day CD to keep the county’s cash options open as the fiscal year comes to an end.
October 2026 was a particularly expensive month for Camden County’s self-funded medical plan. $390,000 was transferred out of the county’s Health Fund (Fund 601) to cover October medical costs. Presiding Commissioner Skelton recommended that the County Auditor should prepare a budget amendment to transfer $150,000 into Fund 601.
The County Treasurer suggested that the commissioners should visit the MOCAAT (Missouri Capital Asset Advantage Treasury) booth at the upcoming Missouri Association of Counties conference. MOCAAT offers more lucrative investment options to Missouri governmental bodies than the county can get on the CD market.
Presiding Commissioner Skelton mentioned that the County Attorney is preparing the order for the applications for the county land trustee.
The Commission then adjourned to a closed session per RSMo 610.021 #1.
And that was that.
