Christian County approves local 10% match for Holder Road low-water crossing replacement

The Christian County Commission on Jan. 23 approved a local-match order to secure a Hazard Mitigation Grant for the Holder Road over Green Valley Creek low-water crossing replacement project (DR-4490).

Highway Administrator Miranda Beadles presented the project and the local-match requirement for the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program administered through the Missouri State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA). The record lists the total project cost as $607,141.00 and states the county will provide a minimum 10% local share of that amount.

Presiding Commissioner Lynn Morris entertained a motion to approve order no. 01-23-2026-01, and Eastern Commissioner Bradley A. Jackson moved to adopt the order; Morris seconded. The commission recorded the vote as Aye: Jackson, Morris; Nay: none; Absent: Johnny Williams. The motion carried.

The meeting record indicates discussion but does not specify additional financial details, a precise dollar amount for the county match, or a timeline for when matching funds will be committed. The record also does not detail construction timelines or contractor selection; those steps were not included in the motion as recorded.

The commission took no other formal action on the project in this session. The meeting adjourned at 10:14 a.m.
