The board agreed to provide $12,500 to help bring the 2026 Missouri Middle School Basketball Championships to Columbia; that money supports event operations and helps draw visitors who use local hotels and facilities. The tournament will use the expanded Columbia Sports Fieldhouse and run across two weekends, which may increase hotel demand and local business activity. The board also met briefly in closed session to discuss sealed bids or proposals and reviewed the regular staff report.
