The Morton County Commission held a public hearing and multiple presentations on proposed 2026 budgets at its July 22 meeting.
Chairman Nathan Boehm opened a public hearing at 6:07 p.m. for the Western Plains Public Health 2026 budget; Erin Ourada of Western Plains Health presented the proposed budget, and the chair closed the hearing at 6:08 p.m. The minutes do not record any formal action on that budget during the meeting.
The commission also heard 2026 budget presentations from Debbie Lafferty of the Morton County Council on Aging, Barb Sandstrom of the Morton County Library, and Bill Robinson of the Lower Heart Water District. The minutes record these presentations but do not show final appropriations, amendments, or vote tallies tied to those individual budgets in this meeting record.
Later in the meeting, Chase Lingle, Assistant State's Attorney, presented his office’s 2026 budget to the commission. The minutes record the presentations and indicate routine administrative review; they do not document final budget approvals or line‑item appropriations for these agencies in the July 22 minutes.
