The Clay County Commission approved acceptance of a Missouri Department of Public Safety Blue Shield grant worth about $29,000 to replace an aging STAR team van used by the sheriff's office.
John Busano of the sheriff's office told the commission the grant proceeds are targeted at replacing a 17-year-old tactical response vehicle. Commissioner Johnson moved to approve the grant acceptance and the commission voted 6-0 in favor.
The county administrator noted the application was a direct result of the county's earlier action to become a Blue Shield community; the purchase is expected to proceed under the sheriff's office procurement procedures.
