Cavalier County commissioners renew ND DOT motor‑vehicle contract, deny Red River Basin funding and approve audit of claims
Summary
At its Aug. 7 meeting the Cavalier County Board renewed a five‑year motor vehicle contract with the North Dakota DOT beginning in 2025, denied a funding request from Red River Basin, accepted a multimedia equipment proposal for IT review, and approved the audit of claims, including large invoices such as a $380,779 Butler Machinery Co. ARPA charge.
The Cavalier County Board of Commissioners on Aug. 7 approved several administrative items and final motions during a regular session at the Cavalier County Courthouse.
Treasurer Cindy Stremick told the board the Motor Vehicle contract with the North Dakota Department of Transportation contains no substantive changes and will run for five years beginning in 2025. Commissioner Nick Moser moved to renew the contract; Austin Lafrenz seconded and the motion carried.
The board reviewed a funding request from Red River Basin and voted to deny the request (motion: Nick Moser; second: Greg Goodman). Chairman David Zeis said he would sign a letter notifying Red River Basin of the decision.
Bob Simmons of Simmons Multimedia proposed that his company purchase microphones and software to facilitate recording of commission meetings for later media use; commissioners requested that Auditor Lisa Gellner run the proposal by the county’s contracted IT provider for review.
Commissioners approved the audit of claims after a review (motion: Greg Goodman; second: Austin Lafrenz). The claims list included a variety of vendor invoices and notable line items such as a $380,779.00 ARPA invoice to Butler Machinery Co., $31,335.00 to Jebro Inc., and $18,833.90 to KLJ Engineering LLC (HB1505/R&B). The board approved the claims list as presented.
The meeting adjourned at 12:00 p.m. following the approved motions.
