Grant County board approves investment policy, bank resolutions, credit card changes and $105,674 IT contract
Summary
The board approved the annual investment policy and bank depository resolution, adopted a revised credit‑card policy with receipt detail requirements, accepted the Grama County Herald as official newspaper, approved fee schedule and paid association dues, and authorized a $105,674.40 Morris Electronics IT contract (partially reimbursed).
At its meeting, the Grant County Board approved a series of administrative items and contracts aimed at housekeeping and operations for 2026.
Finance and policy approvals: The board approved the annual Grant County investment policy and a county resolution establishing bank accounts and depositories. Commissioners voted to adopt a revised credit card policy that requires detailed receipts from employees — a change recommended by state auditors — and confirmed the county’s standard $1,000 card limit with a process to seek temporary higher limits between meetings.
Newspaper, dues and fees: The board named the Grama County Herald the official county newspaper for 2026 and accepted a publishing bid quoted at $10.50 per inch. The board also approved annual association dues (AMC, MRCC, NACO and others) and adopted a consolidated 2026 Grant County fee schedule combining department fees.
IT contract: The board approved a 2026 contract with Morris Electronics for county IT services, amounting to $105,674.40; staff noted Western Prairie will reimburse roughly $42,000 of that cost. The motion to approve the contract carried by voice vote.
Next steps: Staff will circulate finalized signed policy documents and update bank paperwork; the chair signed required documents and staff will begin implementing the revised procedures.
Quotes from the meeting included an auditor‑related justification for the credit card change: the auditor “wanted us to include the language, to include detailed receipts from employees,” and staff confirmed the standard card limit was $1,000 unless the board approves a higher limit.
