In a recent government meeting, the Morton County Board conducted the second readings of two significant ordinances related to drainage and stormwater management, both of which passed unanimously.

The first ordinance, identified as 2024-17, amends the uniform fee schedule for the Morton County Drainage Board. Following a brief discussion, the board accepted the second reading with no public input or amendments, resulting in a 3-0 vote in favor.

The second ordinance, 2024-18, pertains to stormwater management. After a short deliberation, the board also moved to accept this ordinance in its second reading, again passing it with a unanimous vote.

In addition to the ordinances, the board addressed a matter concerning paid time off (PTO) donations. An employee nearing retirement, who has accumulated approximately 17 weeks of PTO, requested to donate a portion of their hours to a colleague in need due to medical reasons. The board unanimously approved this donation, emphasizing the importance of supporting employees in need.

The meeting concluded with these key decisions, reflecting the board's commitment to effective governance and community support.
