Nine Cole County Departments Schedule Coordinated March 3 Meetings | The Locally Times

Nine county departments posted identical, placeholder agendas for March 3, an unspecified election day with a corresponding state campaign finance deadline.

## Coordinated Agendas Posted Nine Cole County departments posted tentative agendas on February 18 for meetings scheduled for March 3, 2026. According to the county’s public agenda center, the notices were all published simultaneously at 11:52 AM. The departments involved are the Cole County Commission, County Clerk, Recorder of Deeds, Circuit Clerk, Circuit Court (19th Judicial Circuit), Collector, Treasurer, Public Administrator, and the general Cole County Government. The simultaneous posting of identical, placeholder documents across nine distinct departments points to a coordinated day of administrative business. ## Convergence with Election Deadlines The March 3 meeting date coincides with an election day in Cole County. Public records do not specify the nature of this election or which offices or measures are on the ballot. This election is distinct from the April 7, 2026, Municipal Election. County records also show that absentee voting for the April election was scheduled from February 24 through February 27. ## Other County Deadlines and Filings The March 3 meetings fall within a period of other scheduled county activity. The agendas for that event, posted February 11, do not specify the contracts or projects involved. Separately, Cole County Public Works is preparing to submit a Stormwater Permit Renewal application to the Missouri Department of Natural Resources by an April 1, 2026, deadline. This permit, designated MOR04C, governs the county’s municipal separate storm sewer systems. The county’s public notice confirms the intent to file but does not provide details on the application’s contents.
