Three elected commissioners run Randolph County. They meet twice a week, in public, and they publish every agenda and every set of minutes. Almost nobody looks.
Who they are
372 Highway JJ, Suite 2C, Huntsville · 844-277-6555 ext. 340 · commission page
Sid Conklin — Presiding Commissioner · 573-690-4753 · sid.conklin@randolphcounty-mo.gov
Jason Lowry — Eastern District Associate · 660-353-1851 · jason.lowry@randolphcounty-mo.gov
Austin Kyser — Western District Associate · 660-353-1022 · austin.kyser@randolphcounty-mo.gov
Commission Clerk is Stacey Roth, stacey.roth@randolphcounty-mo.gov.
Those are cell phone numbers, published by the county. Two of the three commissioners are elected by district, so if your complaint is about a road or a service where you live, the associate commissioner for your district is the one to call.
When they meet
Every Tuesday and Wednesday at 9 a.m., at the courthouse. Twice a week, most weeks of the year — the published agendas bear that out, running Tuesday and Wednesday through every month.
Meetings are open to the public. To get on the agenda, the county asks you to contact commissioners at least two days in advance.
Agendas and minutes are posted on the commission page. One practical note: they are Word documents, not PDFs. Agendas go up individually; minutes are compiled monthly.
What they actually decide
In the county’s own words, the commission is the county’s executive body, “enacting ordinances, conducting hearings, supervising departments, fixing salaries, and adopting budgets.”
Things that run through this body: county roads and bridges, the county budget, salaries for county employees, contracts, and county ordinances — including the senior property tax freeze adopted in May 2025.
Things that do not: your property assessment (Assessor), your tax bill (Collector), schools (independent districts), city streets and city ordinances (your city), and state highways (MoDOT).
The county’s ordinances
Randolph County’s published ordinance list is short: a utility ordinance from 2019, a UTV and golf cart ordinance, a drone ordinance from 2019, an on-site wastewater treatment ordinance, and a solid waste ordinance.
Treat that list with caution. The UTV ordinance shown on it expired in July 2023 and is still posted, and the senior tax freeze ordinance the commission enacted in May 2025 is not on it at all. The index is not a reliable record of what is currently in force. For the text of any county ordinance, ask Commission Clerk Stacey Roth at ext. 340.
The budget, and when to show up
Randolph is a third-class county, so the County Budget Law, RSMo 50.525 to 50.745, sets the calendar.
By January 15, every department, office, institution, commission and court that spends county money files its estimates for the coming year with the budget officer — with work programs showing what it plans to do and what it will cost, compared against the last completed year.
Then the budget officer assembles a budget document, which by statute must include a budget message setting out fiscal policy, detailed estimates and recommendations, and complete drafts of the appropriation and revenue orders.
Then budget hearings. After them the commission may revise, increase, decrease, eliminate or add items, so long as each fund balances.
The budget is adopted and the appropriation order finally made at least ten days after the fiscal year begins — and at the same meeting the commission tentatively fixes the tax rate needed to finance it.
If you want a say in how the county spends money, the hearings in early January are the moment. By the time the appropriation order is signed, it is done.
The budget can be amended mid-year when unanticipated money arrives — a federal or state grant, a private donation — following the same procedure. It can also be decreased twice in a fiscal year if revenue falls verifiably by 2 percent or more, but only after negotiating with every affected officeholder, and no single officeholder may be unduly affected.
What we could not find: Randolph County publishes no budget hearing dates and no budget documents on its site. Neither commissioner terms, salaries nor district boundaries are published either. Ask at ext. 340.
County roads — and who to call about yours
Road & Bridge Supervisor Mike Rogers
road.bridge@randolphcounty-mo.gov
Weekdays 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. — earlier than every other county office, so calling at 4 will not reach them
department page
The phone number is published two different ways. The county’s department directory says ext. 198; the Road & Bridge department’s own page says ext. 700. Both are on the county’s site. Try 198 first; if that fails, try 700. We have asked which is right.
The department maintains roughly 491.76 miles of road and more than 100 bridges — in unincorporated areas, outside the Moberly Special Road District.
Four questions to find the right office
Is it within eight miles of Moberly? The Moberly Special Road District covers an area eight miles wide by eight miles long around the city. 660-263-5494.
Is it a numbered or lettered route — US 24, US 63, Route JJ, Route DD? That is MoDOT. See our Roads Report folder.
Is it a street inside a city — Moberly, Huntsville, Cairo, Clark, Clifton Hill, Higbee, Jacksonville or Renick? That is the city’s.
Otherwise, it is a county road. Road & Bridge.
Three ways to report a problem: email road.bridge@randolphcounty-mo.gov, call the supervisor, or call your district commissioner — Lowry for the Eastern District, Kyser for the Western.
The county publishes a 2026 district road map as a PDF. Its GIS mapping site, randolph.villagis.net, was down every time we checked — if you need parcel or road mapping right now, the Assessor’s tax maps are online and working.
Culverts, driveways, gravel and snow
The Road & Bridge page links a “Current Road Policies” document that would answer all of this — driveway and culvert entrance permits, fees, gravel policy, snow removal priorities, mailbox policy.
That link is broken. It returns a 404 on the county’s own website. As far as we can tell, none of those policies is published anywhere else either.
So if you need to put a culvert in, cut a new driveway onto a county road, or find out where your road sits in the snow plan, you have to phone. We have flagged the dead link to the county.
Treasurer
Kyle Mayo — Suite 2D · ext. 239 · fax 844-342-1454 · kyle.mayo@randolphcounty-mo.gov
The Treasurer is the county’s banker: receiving, disbursing and investing all county funds and keeping money properly segregated into separate funds as the law requires.
The Treasurer does not bill or collect your property tax — that is the Collector, ext. 310 — and does not value your property, which is the Assessor, ext. 300. People call the wrong one constantly.
The county in numbers
Randolph County was organised January 22, 1829 and named for John Randolph of Roanoke. Huntsville has been the county seat from the beginning, and the courthouse has stood there ever since.
24,716 residents across 488 square miles at the 2020 census. Twelve townships. Five cities — Huntsville, Moberly, Clark, Clifton Hill and Higbee — and three villages, Cairo, Jacksonville and Renick.
Railroad and coal built it. Moberly grew from nothing into the Magic City in a decade of railroad boom. General Omar Nelson Bradley, the last of the nine five-star generals in American history, was born in the county in 1893. Moberly Junior College, now Moberly Area Community College, opened in 1927.
Verified against Randolph County’s own department, ordinance and history pages and the Revised Statutes of Missouri, September 2026. Where we say something is unpublished or a link is broken, we checked. Know better? Tell us.
