The Custer County Board of Commissioners held a special meeting on September 30, 2025, to address key financial matters, including the approval of the 2024 audit and the initiation of funds related to the U.S. Forest Service.
The meeting commenced with a pledge of allegiance and a prayer led by Commissioner Paul Kanda. Following the roll call, the board discussed the addition of resolution number 2537, which pertains to the initiation of Title III PILT (Payment in Lieu of Taxes) funds from the U.S. Forest Service.
The primary focus of the meeting was the approval of the 2024 audit. Commissioner Kanda made a motion to approve the audit, which was seconded and subsequently passed unanimously. The audit had been presented the previous week by auditors Sam Denardo and Darren Ross, and it was noted that the audit findings were satisfactory, with no significant issues reported.
The board allowed for public comments but emphasized that no debate would take place during this segment. The meeting concluded with a brief discussion on additional topics, including the "knitting bridge," although details on this matter were not elaborated.
Overall, the meeting underscored the board's commitment to transparency and fiscal responsibility as they move forward with county business.
