Beltrami County commissioners approved a township maintenance agreement with the city of Wilton in a roll-call vote, with one commissioner abstaining to avoid an appearance of conflict of interest.
Commissioner Gold said she would abstain from the vote because she has a vested interest with some residents and the city, stating, "I just I just wanted to abstain from the vote, to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest." The board proceeded to a roll-call vote on the resolution. Commissioner Carlson voted yes; Commissioner Gould voted yes; Commissioner Winger voted yes; Commissioner Sumner voted yes. The chair announced the resolution passed with four votes in favor and one abstention.
The transcript records the motion as "I move that make that motion" by Commissioner Carlson with a second by Commissioner Winger. The chair requested the county administrator or clerk call the roll and the resolution was recorded as passing, 4 with 1 abstention.
The recorded discussion did not include details of the maintenance obligations, funding, or effective dates of the agreement; those details were on the agenda packet or in supporting documents not read aloud in the meeting.
The action is procedural approval of an intergovernmental maintenance agreement; staff will follow the county's administrative procedures to implement the resolution.
