Finally!
From what I've been told, the mobiles will be VHF/700/800 radios, with primary Sheriff's Office traffic running on MOSWIN. There will be access to interop talkgroups on MARRS, access to some of the other agencies' talkgroups on MOSWIN/MARRS/Indep.
Initially they were telling us the portables would be VHF/UHF/700/800, to allow access to Lee's Summit for interop, but not sure if that's still the route.

Update on Jackson County, MO.
I'm not telling y'all anything that couldn't be "found out" by attending a public legislative meeting, etc., BUT,
Jackson County Sheriff primary talkgroups will be on MARRS (not MOSWIN as previously thought.) The radios will have interop talkgroups on both systems.
Encryption isn't nailed down yet, tac talkgroups for sure, on-the-fly is being looked at for primary dispatch talkgroups, and there are some at the department who favor encrypting -everything.-
The mobiles are APX7500, portables are APX7000. They are VHF/700/800.
Delivery on the radios is estimated at 4-6 weeks.
The outside agencies that the Sheriff's Office dispatches for will be responsible for buying their own radios, until they do, there will be either simulcast or patching in place to allow them continued use of the current VHF freqs for a currently undetermined amount of time.
Current outside agencies using Jackson County Sheriff for dispatch include:
Grain Valley PD
Oak Grove PD
Buckner PD
Lone Jack PD
Lake Lotawana PD
Greenwood PD
Lake Tapawingo PD
The Jackson County Conservation Agents also run most to all of their routine traffic through the Sheriff's Office.
This years funds provided the radios / programming / etc., and next year there are plans to construct two additional towers for MARRS from the County's coffers.
Posting this in the MARRS thread also, in case any interested parties aren't keeping tabs on this thread.
