Cavalier County approves 2025 budget, signs off on permits and transfers
Summary
Cavalier County commissioners approved the 2025 budget with no changes, authorized permits and a small fund transfer, and approved the audit of claims during the Sept. 17 meeting; commissioners also added and approved a Pembina Gorge Foundation liquor license.
Cavalier County commissioners on Sept. 17 approved the county’s 2025 budget with no changes from its preliminary version and took a series of routine administrative actions, including permit approvals and a small transfer between road funds.
The board, chaired by David Zeis, recessed at 10:00 a.m. for the budget hearing and reconvened at 10:20 a.m., when Commissioner Greg Goodman moved to adopt the 2025 budget; Nick Moser seconded the motion, which carried. The minutes state the approved budget matched the preliminary budget presented earlier.
In other business, commissioners approved a raffle and BINGO permit for the Pembina Gorge Foundation (motion by Nick Moser), and later added and approved a beer and liquor license for the same nonprofit (added by motion of Greg Goodman and approved by a motion from Nick Moser). Commissioner Austin Lafrenz moved to transfer $2,535.50 from the Road & Bridge Fund into the Road & Bridge Equipment Replacement Fund; that motion carried. The board also reviewed and approved a multi-page audit of claims covering payroll and vendor payments presented at the meeting.
The meeting included routine department updates and motions that carried by the board’s recorded “motion carried” entries; the minutes do not record detailed roll-call tallies for those votes. The board adjourned at noon.
Funding and accounting items discussed at the meeting include the $2,535.50 road-fund transfer and the board’s direction to preserve the current $140-per-hour snow-removal rate; no changes were made to that hourly rate.
