Morton County authorizes $850,000 for Law Enforcement Center improvements, conditions spending on NDCC bidding rules
Summary
The Morton County Commission approved an $850,000 allocation from remaining half-cent sales tax collections to replace the law enforcement center’s generator, repair concrete and replace boilers, and approved an amendment requiring compliance with North Dakota Century Code bidding requirements.
The Morton County Commission on July 22 authorized $850,000 for improvements to the county’s Law Enforcement Center, including replacement of the generator, concrete repairs and boiler replacement.
Commissioner Morrell moved and Commissioner Buckley seconded the funding authorization, which passed on a roll-call unanimous vote of the five commissioners present. The commission specified the funding source as the remainder of the county’s half-cent sales tax collections.
Immediately after approving the appropriation, Commissioner Morrell offered — and Commissioner Buckley seconded — an amendment requiring that the Law Enforcement Center improvement projects proceed only in compliance with the North Dakota Century Code (NDCC) bidding requirements. The amendment also passed unanimously.
The motion and its amendment were recorded in the meeting minutes; the minutes do not detail a bid timeline, contractor selection, or an exact project schedule. The commission did not record any split votes on the project authorization or the amendment.
Next steps recorded in the minutes indicate the county will proceed with project preparations subject to NDCC bidding rules; no contract awards or vendor names were included in the minutes.
