Callaway County has a new OFFICIAL Site for County Business

http://callaway.missouri.org

Callaway County has launched a new official web site to help citizens find information and help about official county business. The site is a "work in progress" as not all county departments have information online right now.

Callaway County is one of the largest counties in the State of Missouri with a land area of 539,000 acres and more four lane highway than any other county outside the metropolitan areas. Callaway is a First Class County with an assessed valuation of $592,694,594, and a population of 40,766. The economy is a diverse mixture of education, industry, agriculture and business.

Callaway is in the central part the State. It is bounded on the north by Audrain county; east by Montgomery county; the west by Boone county; and on the south by the Missouri River, which courses its border for about forty miles and divides it from Osage and Cole counties.

Callaway County Commission

Lee Fritz, Presiding
Gabe Craighead, Eastern District
Donald "Doc" Kritzer, Western District

The County Commission consists of three county commissioners elected from two districts equal in population as possible by natural geographic boundaries. The Presiding Commissioner is elected by the county at large, and the Associate Commissioners, are elected from their respective districts. Both the Presiding and the Associate Commissioners serve for four years per election.

The County Commission manages all aspects of county government not assigned by law to other elected officials. The Callaway County Commission is responsible for maintenance and improvement of all buildings, roads, bridges, construction and maintenance and equipment of the county. They grant easements over county roads. The Commission appoints Callaway County residents to serve on local service boards. One of the Commissioners most important functions is Budgetary. Budgets prepared for each of the various county offices must be approved by the commission. It is the only body that can make decisions on behalf of all county government. Other elected county office holders, who are independently elected throughout the county, have authority in their functional areas. The other officers of the county are independently elected from the entire county. The County Commission has the power and authority to acquire by purchase, lease or receive by donation any improved or unimproved real estate, and also, may institute proceedings in the name of the county to condemn land or other property when agreement cannot be reached between the county and property owners for public purpose projects.

The Callaway County Commission administers most of the county business. The Commission serves as liaison for the county between other local units of government, regional bodies, state and federal agencies.
