JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (KMIZ)
Cole County is holding off on paying a medical supply company after coronavirus care packages were not delivered to each home in the county.
The Cole County Commission on Wednesday decided to hold off paying $318,255 for the packages. The cost for the boxes is covered by CARES Act funding.
The commission approved an emergency order on Nov. 10 to send out a COVID-19 care package with 50 surgical masks, hand sanitizer and an informational paper on COVID-19.
But there have been issues with shipping the boxes. Not all residents have received their boxes yet. We re having hiccups along the way but the postmaster has become my best buddy, Cole County Presiding Commissioner Sam Bushman said. When somebody says they haven t received their boxes, he gets to [them] pretty quickly.
