Summary

Griggs County commissioners voted to approve a resolution prepared by the county attorney and requested by the county’s veterans service officer to mark the 50th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War and to publish a notice in the local paper for Memorial Day.
Maddie and staff said Dennis Kabiska, the county veterans service officer, requested the resolution and the county attorney drafted language for publication. Commissioners voted to authorize the county to place the resolution as an ad in the local newspaper; the county will pay the publication cost from its advertising budget.
The motion to approve the resolution was made, seconded and passed by voice vote at the meeting; no dissent was recorded in the transcript excerpt. Commissioners instructed staff to place the ad and arrange payment for the newspaper insertion ahead of Memorial Day.
The resolution and ad language will run as a Memorial Day notice thanking Vietnam War veterans and noting the 50th anniversary of the conclusion of the conflict. The county’s veterans service officer was present in the discussion and asked that the county publish the notice.
