Todd County approves 2025 Memorial Day appropriations; removes inactive VFW post from list
Summary
The Todd County Board adopted a resolution approving the county's 2025 Memorial Day appropriations and removed one defunct VFW post from the list of recipients.
Todd County commissioners voted May 6 to adopt the 2025 Memorial Day appropriation resolution, which authorizes county funding to organizations that help observe Memorial Day within the county.
County staff told the board that the appropriation program is included in the 2025 budget and presented a list of recipient organizations and the amounts assigned to each. Staff also noted that a Long Prairie VFW post no longer exists and had requested removal from the recipient list.
Commissioners briefly discussed legacy amounts paid to small groups — one item, Evergreen Cemetery in Burrill, had historically received $200 after being established years earlier. Commissioners suggested reviewing the fixed amounts during the 2026 budgeting process to consider standardizing or adjusting payments across recipients. A motion to adopt the resolution passed unanimously.
The board did not change specific payments at the meeting; staff said commissioners Denny and the finance committee will review the historical amounts and make recommendations for the next budget cycle.
