Rock County holds budget workshop, audits and approves claims and petty cash resolutions
Summary
The board held a detailed budget workshop Aug. 15, reviewed departmental line items and returned Aug. 19 to approve claims, authorize petty cash resolutions (Res. 2025-10 and 2025-11) and change clerk bank signatories; the claims audit included a $200,000 BKR Bridge Fund transfer among regular disbursements.
The Rock County Board of Commissioners conducted a line-item budget workshop on Aug. 15 and continued routine budget and claims business at its Aug. 19 meeting, where it approved county claims and two petty-cash resolutions.
During the Aug. 15 workshop commissioners reviewed the Rock County budget line by line. Stacey Knox, Hospital Administrator, appeared at noon to explain components of the hospital, clinic, long-term care and pharmacy budgets. The Aug. 15 workshop concluded at 4:09 p.m.
On Aug. 19 the board approved August 5 meeting minutes and the posted Aug. 19 agenda, audited and approved county claims, and approved Resolution 2025-10 (Authorization/Reauthorization of Petty Cash Funds) and Resolution 2025-11. The claims audit listed routine payroll and vendor payments across general, road and library funds and included a $200,000 transfer to the BKR Bridge Fund as well as an itemized entry for NDOT/Carn’s Bridge. Commissioners also voted to remove Crystal Sell and add Lisa Fales as signatories on the Clerk’s bank accounts at Sandhills State Bank and Tri-County Bank.
The meeting record shows motions were moved and seconded—typically by Commissioners Smith and Sybrant—with roll-call votes recorded as "All For None Against." The board adjourned at 2:54 p.m. on Aug. 19.
Next steps: County staff will follow up on budget items as needed and process the approved claims and account signatory changes.
