HB 2041 -- County Government Sponsor: Cooper (158) This bill prohibits a county from receiving state funds unless the county has agreed by ordinance or order to engage in mandatory mediation in disputes arising with another county over financial expenditures. Costs of the mediation will be shared between the counties involved. County boards that receive funding from the county treasury and whose members are appointed by the county commission will be required to submit an annual report each fiscal year itemizing expenditures. The salary commission in Cape Girardeau County is authorized to meet to determine whether to equalize the base salaries of the treasurer and public administrator with the base salaries of the auditor and recorder of deeds.Copyright (c) Missouri House of Representatives
