Todd County commissioners approve multiple warrants, update committee assignments and rescind two prior board actions
Summary
The Todd County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously on Feb. 4 to approve several warrants totaling roughly $4.07 million, update committee listings for the MTW Community Health Board and rescind two prior board actions; multiple roll-call votes were recorded.
At the Feb. 4 Todd County meeting, commissioners approved a series of warrants and took administrative actions that the board processed as separate motions and roll-call votes.
The board approved auditor warrants totaling $3,778,366.29 after a motion by Commissioner Nasca, second by Commissioner Becker; the roll call recorded all five commissioners as voting yes. The board then approved commissioner warrants totaling $198,277.63 (motion by Commissioner Denny; second by Commissioner Nasca), Health and Human Services commissioner warrants of $56,002.47 (motion by Commissioner Becker; second by Commissioner Newman) and Health and Human Services SSIS warrants of $39,596.39 (motion by Commissioner Newman; second by Commissioner Denny); each vote produced unanimous yes roll calls.
In other administrative business the board approved an amendment to committee assignments to correct the listing and to designate Commissioner Becker and Commissioner Nasca as delegates to the three-county Morrison-Todd-Wadena Community Health Board (MTW CHB). The board clarified that the county’s policy committee assignments should follow the chair and vice chair roles (Chair Byers and Vice Chair Denny).
The board also moved to rescind two prior board actions: board action tracking number 20240206-33 (motion by Commissioner Denny; second by Commissioner Becker) and 20240903-28 (motion by Commissioner Newman; second by Commissioner Denny); both rescind motions passed by voice vote.

Ending: Commissioners processed routine fiscal approvals and administrative housekeeping items in a series of unanimous votes; no dissent was recorded on these motions.
