Commissioners approve appointments, utility relocation certification and routine financial items; call for open-records training raised
Summary
The board named alternates to the CED District 2 board via Resolution 31-25-06, certified a utility relocation for Project 28851404 and approved routine financial items including blanket bills and appropriations; a commissioner urged open-records training after taxpayer confusion.
The County Board of Commissioners approved several administrative items during its public meeting, including appointments to a regional board, a certification that utilities were relocated for a county road project, and routine financial approvals.
By voice vote the board approved Resolution 31-25-06 to appoint Larry Watson as alternate member No. 1 and Billy Cloud as alternate member No. 2 to the CED District 2 board. The motion was made, seconded, and carried with the clerk recording affirmative responses from the commissioners on the roll call.
The board also approved a certification that utilities were moved on section 2 of Tomahawk (identified in the meeting as Barry Watson's Road) under Project 28851404 related to Garland and Tamara Tamaha Road. Staff said the certification confirms utilities were relocated and that no open-meetings violation occurred; a motion to approve that certification carried on the recorded roll call.
Routine fiscal business cleared at the meeting included approval of excise-board proceedings and commissioners’ proceedings from prior meetings, review and signatures on appropriation transfers and checks to be paid, and approval of blanket bills. The clerk noted district blanket bills: two for District 3 totaling $450 and two for District 2 totaling $800; the board approved those items by motion and roll call.
During the new-business period a commissioner urged all elected officials to take an open-records class (described as part of certification for elected officials) after receiving calls from taxpayers confused about records requests and packet availability. The board also recorded an announcement that the county livestock show is scheduled for Feb. 10 with a premium sale at 7 p.m. on Feb. 11, and a commissioner said he had been appointed to a county advisory board that oversees a revolving fund representing multiple counties and that a press release would follow.
Other operational matters mentioned included discussion of county scrap disposal procedures after auditor guidance and a brief announcement that the county’s ETR bridge loan application for a Red Hill project was approved for $300,000.
The meeting adjourned after the listed business.
